An example of a parrot's death

Chinese Master 2017-04-25

In the 1980s, there was a parrot in Baotou. A parrot lover bought it from Sichuan for a lot of money, hoping to let it learn to speak human language.

But this parrot was very naughty from the beginning and refused to learn it. Even when you teach it, it would be very angry and hurt the bird keeper's hands.This made the bird-raising people think the parrot was difficult to deal with.

At that time, I happened to hear that there was a lay Buddhist Bai who raised many birds in his family.One day, the bird keeper met Mr. Bai and said, "I gave this parrot to you, don't have a penny."Mr. Bai brought the parrot home.

Because Mr. Bai often does morning and evening classes at home, chanting Buddha's name, chanting Guanyin Bodhisattva, and chanting the Great Compassion Mantra, the parrot has been going for half a year and learned to chant "Amitabha Buddha".

This parrot is very interesting. If you let it learn from the world, it will not learn from it, and its eyes will be wide open and "Ao..." is called.It only recites Amitabha Buddha.

Especially it also has a kind of discernment ability. When you see monks go, you will recite it very happily: Amitabha, Amitabha...

One day, there was a Zen practitioner who was meditating on koans. When he arrived at Mr. Bai's house, he sat there silently and meditated on koans, and was very dedicated.

I don’t know what happened to this parrot, so I arrived at the place above his head, stood there, and said to the Zen person: You should recite the Buddha’s name, chant quickly, chant Amitabha!

When the Zen practitioner heard this, he was shocked and jumped up from his seat.Because suddenly a bird called him and asked him to chant Amitabha Buddha, as if he knew that he was a person who did not chant the Buddha's name. It means that you can't practice Zen, and you should chant Amitabha Buddha quickly.This is the case.

This parrot seemed to have been in Bai Jushi's house for seven or eight years, and then his life span reached.When they were dying, everyone went to chant - this was also the parrot's blessings - and monks also participated in chanting for it. After chanting for seven days, they were reborn peacefully.

And after cremation, the parrot's tongue cannot be burned - the root of the tongue is not broken, and some relics are burned out.The auspicious sign of this parrot's rebirth is quite obvious.

In fact, since ancient times, there have been examples of the rebirth of parrots and starlings.
