Mystery of Karma (9): Why I don’t want to be born (2)

The Mystery of Karma9 ‣輪廻転生:Circle of transmigration

A soul that refused to be reborn. The events of past lives shown to me by such a soul…

The time is the Edo period in Japan.

Two dead bodies are seen in the river.
One is an adult. One is a child.

The soul says, “The child is me.”

“How did he die?”

He said, “There was a place in Edo where a big guy was running the place. The guy beat him up and dumped him in the river because he got on his nerves.”
An indescribable sadness comes from my soul.

When he died, I thought.
‘Why did I…why did I…'”

“He must have been so frustrated, so frustrated.”

I won’t allow it, I won’t allow it.”
I can feel the soul’s thoughts turning from sadness to anger.

“How can I be convinced?”

“I want to bury my father’s body in the grave. And I want to kill all the great men in town!”

“All right. Then let’s do that. I’ll lend you a hand, and together we’ll accomplish your (soul’s) wish.”
“What exactly do you want me to do?”

I want to pull the bodies of the father and myself off the riverbank.”
He then said, “Then I want to drag eight people, including the great man’s wife, children, and cronies, out to the riverbank and make them apologize to themselves (the children) and their father on the riverbank.”

“Okay.”

“And the rest?”

‘I want to burn this whole gleaming looking town to the ground. I don’t want a town full of bigots.”
“And then I want to kill eight people, including the big guy, on the riverbank.”

“Okay.”

“How does it feel to have accomplished what you wanted?”

‘It feels kinda neat. Now all I need to do is bury my (child’s) body under a tree with my father.”

“Okay.”

“Is that okay?”

“Yes, that’s fine.”

“Then you want me to come back up into the sky with you?”

“Okay.”

In this way, he released the karma of previous lives held by souls who did not want to be reborn.
