Du Jinyang， the County Chief of Qiantang in Zhejiang became very sick，and his doctor gave him the wrong medicine by accident， which almost finished him off. 浙江钱塘郡的郡守杜晋阳生了一场重病。碰巧医生又给他开错了药，这差点要了他的命。 Du realized how precious， but how fragile， life is. He made a vow. I swear that I will devote my life to helping others and saving the world. The most important duty is to repent and to save all in the world. Nothing else is worth bothering about. 杜意识到了生命的宝贵和脆弱。他发了个誓。我将尽我的一生来帮助他人、拯救社会。最重要的是，我会忏悔，以及救助世上一切众生。我将不惧一切困难。 One day， Guanyin， the merciful deliverer， came to him in a dream， and said，In your past life， you were an official in Chu. Although you were honest， you were too strict， so you caused great harm to others， which could have been avoided. You were not selfish or greedy， but your actions have caused you to lose your rank. Also， you ate many animals， so of course the result is that your life should be shortened. 一天，他梦到了大悲观音菩萨。观音对他说，你前世曾经是楚地的官员。尽管你很正直，但是你过于严厉，给别人造成了巨大伤害。这些本来都是可以避免的。你不自私贪婪，但是你的所作所为足以让你丢官。还有，你吃了很多动物，所以理所当然你将会减寿。 |
