In fact, since ancient times, people have been exploring the truth of cosmic life about causal reincarnation. Because there is life, there will be death. With life and death, we must think about how life and death come from, where life comes from, where death goes, and even whether we can get rid of life and death and live or not. These questions have been discussed for thousands of years in history, and there are rich answers in these religions, cultures and beliefs at home and abroad. For example, Confucius, a saint in China, told us in the annotation of the Book of Changes that "essence is a thing, wandering souls are changeable". Ghosts talk about the situation before people are born and reborn, and the essence refers to the situation after parents are born and reborn. Although Confucius said that "if you don't know life, you don't know death", so he talked a lot about life, but rarely talked about death. But he also simply mentioned to us that there is still life after death. Plato, a western sage who was almost contemporary with Confucius, also described these cycles of life and death in his book The Republic, especially the plot after the human soul was out of the body. Our Buddha, Sakyamuni Buddha, told us about the cycle of life and death and the truth in the six ways. In addition to these ancient sages, there are many records about reincarnation in Chinese and foreign history. In the official history of China, there are many examples of reincarnation. Regardless of unofficial history, as far as official history is concerned, it is the official history recognized by kings of various countries, and it is recorded in this way. Speaking of Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, he was later reincarnated in the Song Dynasty and became a man named Guo. He came from History of the Song Dynasty 10 post, 3 volumes and 444 volumes. There is also Emperor Liang Yuan in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. His former life was a monk named Miao Mu, and he also came from the book Nan Shi Liang Ji, with three volumes and eight volumes. There are also records of the reincarnation of heaven and man. For example, according to the Book of the Tang Dynasty, there are three posts, two volumes and twenty-seven volumes, all of which record Tang Daizong, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was born by a man of God. In addition, some people become animals. The most famous example is Bai Qi, the general of Qin in the Warring States Period, when he was at war with Zhao. Zhao Kuo, the general of Zhao, is an armchair strategist and doesn't know how to fight. Zhao's 400,000 soldiers were all captured and defeated. So, General Qin Jun took a day off and buried all 400,000 unarmed soldiers of Zhao alive. Therefore, it was later recorded in the Chronicle of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty that at the end of the Tang Dynasty, one day it suddenly thundered and a cow was electrocuted. It turned out that the word "Bai Qi" was written on the cow's belly. History's evaluation of this incident is that Tian Lei killed too many people, so he had to be an animal again and again, and he would suffer this retribution, and he would also suffer the retribution of Lei Zhen's death. These historical records, coupled with the teachings of ancient sages, made the ancients really have no doubts about reincarnation and karma. Modern people, probably because of the development of science, began to distrust reincarnation. This may be because everyone said that reincarnation is only in religion. If they think it is a concept in religion, they all dismiss it as superstition and anti-science. Perhaps this is because, I'm afraid science and religion seem to be enemies for hundreds of years. You see, in the seventeenth century, when science was just emerging in western Europe, many astronomers found that the earth was not the center of the universe. This theory was contrary to the religious views at that time, so it was denounced as heresy by religious believers at that time. Italian astronomer Galileo insisted on this theory at that time. This theory, we all know that he is right now, the earth is really not the center of the universe, but an asteroid in the universe. But at that time, people who adhered to this theory were persecuted by religious believers. Like Galileo, he was imprisoned for life and Brullo was burned alive. So you see, people used to use religion against science, but now people use science against religion. This is called tit for tat, which is obvious karma. However, we must know that truth can stand the test of science and is not afraid of being tested by science. In recent decades, the development of these sciences in the west, especially in the United States, such as psychiatry, death medicine, psychology and physiology, has indeed provided us with a lot of scientific evidence to prove that people are indeed reincarnated. In recent years, the school has been collecting and studying these scientific research materials, and these scientific research results are too rich. There has been such a karma in the last two days. Let's briefly introduce the scientific research results of reincarnation in the West. Before introducing, I want to tell you a case, which comes from Professor Ian Stephenson, a famous psychologist at the University of Virginia. Professor Stephenson has collected and studied more than 3,000 cases that have been proved that there is reincarnation in life for more than 40 years. His research objects are mainly children aged two to seven. When these children can talk, they can recall their past lives. It's all about what happened in the past decades, even hundreds of years ago. Moreover, these details are described so carefully and truly that they are verified one by one.
