When my grandmother was alive, she believed in Buddhism. She is very devout and often goes to various temples to worship. She told us she had seen Bodhisattva, but most of us didn't believe it. One of her biggest wishes was to "don't be in pain when I left." As a result, she walked in her sleep. It can be regarded as fulfilling her own wish, and it is also her practice, right?

I lived in the countryside as a child. Elementary school is very close to home, less than a few minutes walk away. As a result, I was responsible for opening the classroom door every morning. As a first-year primary school student, I feel that this task is still very important. Open the door on time every day, not sloppy at all.

When I woke up early one morning, I thought about going to school and opening the door, and then coming back for breakfast. When I got to the door of the classroom, I unlocked it with the key hanging on my thin neck. I pushed the door, but it couldn't be opened? Push harder, still can't push? what happened?

Go to the window and look in. I actually saw two figures of stone statues enshrined at the head of our village blocking the door? Rubbing his eyes and looking again, he was still there, so frightened, he ran to the house.

There are two statues worshipped in our village, which are called "Lord of the Land and Lady of the Land". The statue is not high, about half a meter. I usually pass by when I go to school every day. Didn't expect to see them blocking the door at the door of the classroom? why?

When I got home, I didn't dare to tell my family. After breakfast, I just don't go to school. After school, I approached the classroom and saw that all the children's shoes were waiting at the door. Everyone blames me for not opening the door so late? It turned out that the classroom door was locked... and I did open it. I was a little scared after thinking about it, but I didn't dare to say anything.

I have always kept this in my heart and dared not tell others. It wasn't until N years later that I mentioned it to my family in a chat. However, no one would believe it. Everyone said that I was too underestimated at the time, or my memory was misplaced and I imagined the story out of thin air.

I have no evidence to prove that I really saw "ghosts" or "immortals"? However, I am well aware that this is not something I made up out of thin air. Didn't grandma later claim that she had seen the Bodhisattva many times; was it just a "mirage" imagined by her own presbyopia? Or did she fabricate it to make people think she was a Buddhist student who had a predestined relationship? It's just that these can't be considered.

The world is so big, who can say that there are really no such supernatural things? Does the soul exist? Will the departure of the soul from the body continue? Are there other different creatures out there? Wait... Anyone can say no, but everyone can say yes, maybe in their own beliefs before being verified? Or maybe there are really those "destined people" who can really see different things? Maybe you used to be a "predestined person"? It's just, I don't know what the purpose of "it" is when it shows up for an ignorant child to see? After all, in addition to being scary, is it scary? ?

The countryside is very superstitious about fortune-telling. My mother once gave me a fortune-telling, saying that I was born with "green pants". That is, if I stay at home and don't marry outside, the family will be prosperous; however, if I marry outside, I need to divide the "green pants" into two; one side stays at home. That way you don't take all your luck away. I don't know how my mother became superstitious when I got married? Could it be that his luck started from the encounter with God when he was a child? ?
