The Reincarnation of an Individual (3) A Pet Dog 5 October 2008 This interesting story first appeared on a Chinese blog which claims it is based on a true story. Here is part three translation of its core text: The Reincarnation
(1) - A Scholar and A Writer That trip proves to be fatal to this family. In a bookstore the neighbour identified the photo of a pretty woman on the cover of a book being the girl next door. He thus bought a copy and read, and then generously lent it to her parents; when he did so, he chuckled sinisterly. Her parents read the whole book and understood everything. The elderly couple blushed, and felt ashamed. They urged their daughter to give up her writing career all together. It was too late, nevetheless. The pretty woman writting with body had contracted ADIS. The private publisher disapeared from her life in no time. Alone in Beijing, she began to hate the world as a whole, the life in general and everyone around; and she started to take drugs to escape from reality. In her dying days, she kept having a vision in which she saw a group of dogs playing happily. She died, in poverty and in pain, and was shrown into the lower realm of animal world by her karmic weight. The woman writer was reborn as a female dog. The dog has a certain amount of savings in bank which was deposited by the man writer and partially drawn by the woman writer. Although the credit is invisible in the yang world, it is all evident in the yin world - the negative version of the positive material realm. This invisible savings allow the dog to live a life in comfort and luxury as a spoiled pet dog of a rich family. But the animal realm is such a place which is ruled by overwhelming force of circumstances generated by basic instincts, leaving very little room for spiritual manoeuvrer, hence the dog has a little chance to redeem its karmic debts. Once the invisible savings have been spent, the pet dog will be reincarnated as a homeless dog, scavenging leftovers in piles of rubbishes. Ms Wu was all tearful after heared Monk Karmawise's story, and begged her master to save her pet. Karmawise shook his head. "Each individual has to bear the consequences of his/her actions, and can only be free from a certain situation after relavent karmic debts paid off.” “Then how to repay her filthy writing debt?” Ms Wu was in despair. Karmawise paused and then replied, “It has to wait until the day when all the copies of her book disappeared from this world, and no one ever remembers one passage she wrote. Had she still be a human, she might be able to do something to speed this redeem process, such as using her pen to help others and the world; but now she's a dog, sadly, she can only wait for the things to work out for themselves.”
