Sutra on the Divination of the Effect of Good and Evil Actions, translated by Bodhidpa, is one of three scriptures of Ksitgarbha Sutra. It contains truths and ways that we must carry out in practice. The scripture suggests a versatile way of one’s karma in the past, the present, and the future by “Divination of Wooden Wheels” to the souls at the end of time. As mortal forces couldn’t resist the karma, the 189 results from good and evil shown by the divination can bring preparations of introspection, repentance, and proactive blessing; the ways of charity, life release, acting good, making good relationship, respect to three treasures, repentance, faithful pray, and so on are expected to eliminate the karma and turn the tide of difficulties, making the souls to give up evil and walk on the path of Buddha, which leads to the ultimate goal of inner view and truth view, which can eventually prove the one “Realm of Absolute Reality” and release everyone from suffering of reincarnation. This thesis adopts meth-ods of literature analysis and interpretation. The discovery is implemented with the theory of “Fusion of Horizon” in the method of interpretation. We can truly see that Sutra on the Divination of the Effect of Good and Evil Actions not only changes our destiny, but is also able to transform negative energy into positive energy in transcendence. With the introspective logic that changes destiny in the dharma, we can see: (1) the karma; (2) faithful repentance and unrepeatable mistakes; and (3) profound dharma and ultimate release. |
