　　Since some men have been discarded by women, and some women have been forsaken by men, they go to extremes. They become gay, and learn actions that go against our humanity. Because husbands and wives don”t know how to behave like husbands and wives, they end up creating huge problems that we face today. When families are broken, so is the nation. If everyone could be like the mother of Meng Zi or the mother of Yue Fei, both of whom were able to teach their son to become famous and sagely, there would not be so many troubled children. I have answered your question, and I don”t know whether I am right or not. If you are not satisfied, please find someone who is better qualified. 還有這墮胎啊，那更是不仁道的一件事情！各位想一想，那個小孩子還沒生出，你就叫他(她)死，你說這個因果厲害不厲害？現在，我說一句不怕你們各位不相信的話：每一個墮胎的，那雖然是個小孩子，可是那個小鬼，比那個大鬼更厲害！現在這個又是Cancer(癌)病啊，又是愛死症啊！愛死症就是同性戀，戀出來的；這Cancer病啊，也是墮胎形成的。因爲墮胎的人多了，殺的小鬼也多了，所以他到處給你灑毒，到處令人不安，啊，你叫我那麼早就死了！我也不能對你善罷幹休，我也要把你弄死的！所以，就生出這麼多的奇難雜症，古古怪怪的這些個病！

　　Regarding abortion, it is an inhumane act! Think about it, if you kill a child even before he or she is born, would you say the retribution of such a conduct is severe or not

　　 Now I am going to tell you something whether you believe it or not: although it is only a little baby who has been aborted, this little ghost is even fiercer than a big ghost! Now cancer is fairly common in our society, and this illness is brought about by abortions. Since more fetuses get aborted, the number of little ghosts increases, and these little ghosts sprinkle poisons everywhere and cause disquiet among people. They think: “You made me die so early, I won”t let you get away with it. I will also kill you!” Accordingly, we have a lot of strange and hard to cure diseases.

　　A Talk Given by the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua, June 16, 1980 每個人能在今生做爲眷屬，必然有前世的因緣…

　　For people to become family members in this life, there must be causes and affinities from their past lives.

　　每個人的面目不同，其因果也不一樣，每個人在往昔生生世世所欠下的債也不同。有些人欠債太多了，到這個世界上來，還也還不了，所謂“債臺高築”，也就是業障之臺，一天比一天高，一天比一天深，債上加債，糾纏不清。這是什麼緣故呢？ 是因爲往昔專門放高利貸，借錢給人，利上加利，貪得無餍，自己以爲占了便宜，結果是自己吃了虧，業障一天比一天重，終于拔不出腿來了！

　　Everyone has a different appearance. In addition, their causes and effects vary, and their debts accumulated from past lives are also different. Some people owe so much that they can”t even pay off their debts in this lifetime. It is said that these inpiduals are “building a high mountain of debts.” This mountain is also a mountain of karmic obstacles, which is getting higher day by day. With new debts added on old debts, the debtors get even more entangled. Why is that

　　 It is because these inpiduals specialized in usurious practices in the past. They were so greedy that they charged excessive interests and thought they were making a profit at their borrowers” expense. However, they were actually hurting themselves, because their karmic offenses were getting heavier every day. Eventually these karmic offenses became so heavy that they couldn”t pull themselves out of the resulting retributions. 有的欠人做父親的債，有的欠人做母親的債，有的欠人做妻子的債，有的欠人做丈夫的債，有的欠人做兒子的債，有的欠人做女兒的債。所謂“父母的饑荒，倫常的賬碼”，種種的因緣，乃促成你我今生命運的安排。可是一般人不明白一切都是前因後果，定業難逃，所以有時候還不認賬，還想扛債不還，明明欠人的債，卻不承認。因爲這樣不講道理，所以釀成世界上種種麻煩的發生──你有你的麻煩，我有我的麻煩，他有他的麻煩，各人有糾纏不清、善惡夾雜的因果。偶爾遇到佛教，聽了佛理，便明白一點。

　　Some people repay their karmic debts by becoming their creditors” father, mother, husband, wife, son or daughter. It is said that “parents endure hunger as a way to repay their debts to their children.” Various kinds of causes and conditions have shaped our destinies in this life. However, most people do not understand that e…
