A Girl Who Remembered Her Past Lives
 
There was a monk who was begging for food at a noontime. He saw a girl picking leaves from a mulberry tree. He asked her, “Is there anywhere I can get food?” The girl answered: “A family named Wang, about less than a mile from here, prepares vegetarian food for monks. Go there, and they’ll be happy to receive you.”
The monk followed her directions and came to a residence. He was delighted to see a group of monks sitting down for a meal and was invited to join them. After the meal, the host’s wife was puzzled that the monk knew about the lunch and could make it in time. So, the monk told her the whole story about the mulberry-leaf-picking girl.
The host and his wife could not believe what they heard. So, they asked the monk to take them to the girl. When the girl saw them, she dumped the basket from the tree went into her house and hid under a bed. The host and his wife chased her to her house.
Her mother asked them what she could do for them. They said: “We were preparing a vegetarian feast for some monks today. A monk came along and said a young girl had told him about the lunch. However, we did not tell anyone about our plan. So we are just wondering how your daughter could know about the feast.”
The girl’s mother tried to convince her daughter to come out, but she refused. The mother scolded her, and then the girl said: “I don’t want to see the old man and his wife. What’s the problem?”
Her mother asked, “Why won’t you see them?”
The host and his wife were even more confused and pleaded with her to come out. Finally, the girl shouted, “On this day and date, what happened to the goat seller and his two sons?” As soon as the couple heard that, they ran off without looking back.
The girl’s mother asked her what had happened. The daughter explained: “In one of my previous lives, I was a goat seller from Xiazhou. I spent the night at the older man’s manor. He killed my sons and me that very night and took our money. Then, I was their son and the apple of their eyes in my previous life. I fell very sick at 15 and died at 20. The money they spent on my medicines was a few times more than what they had stolen from me. They have also hired monks to perform a rite on my death anniversary every year. The old couple often thinks of me and cries. The monk asked me where he could get food, and I told him to go to the Wangs’ house.”
Some people can remember their previous lives. Sometimes, it is to let people know previous lives do exist. In other cases, it serves the purpose of repaying karma. Who would sin if they knew they would have to pay for it one day? No one can escape karma.
