People asked: Hello, Master. Why did I come into contact with Buddhism is the most recent thing, because there is an elder in my family, she is dementia, but she has been worshipping Guanyin for many years, so I feel it is a pity, and then because of me Some things happened at home, so I became dependent on this Buddhism, so I really want to learn how to do chanting to benefit the people in my family, especially my mother is dementia, so the dementia, we How can I help her? In her remaining few years, let her approach the Buddha, and give her the benefits of the Buddha, and then help her to help her? Rebirth, thank you.

Master Renjing: This is a very good question. Actually, I mentioned today that dementia can also die.Look, have you all heard of the death of a parrot? The chicken, duck, dog, cat, there are many examples of these deaths, so they don’t know how to listen to the scriptures, and they don’t understand many truths. Then they Why do you die? The power of the Buddha's name.Remember, the name of Buddha, the name of Amitabha, is different from our name. Our name is karma, and the name of Amitabha is the body of reality, which is the body of dharma.He is the body of full merit, and He has power and life. You must understand this fact.It's just that we are not plugged in, and there is no power on without induction.If you understand that you are very close to him and close to him, being close is almost as one body, you are him, he is you, and we are chanting Buddha, so we must have such a mood.Then you also know the truth. This Buddha name has power, life, and life, so as long as there is a cause and condition to hear the Buddha name, even if it doesn't understand any truth.Master Shandao explained to us that Nanwu means turning back and making a vow, and saying that Amitabha is his deeds, so he will be reborn.Therefore, Nanwu Amitabha has enough faith to do it.why?Nan Wu is a refuge. If you are willing to rely on him to take refuge in him, is it not sufficient to rely on him? Is it? Yes, you see how good the explanation is. Without the patriarch's great virtue, it is such a clean and neat sentence. Faithfulness and willingness are sufficient, so a single Buddha's name can let you die, right? Faithfulness and willingness are sufficient.The Pure Land Three Sutras and the Five Sutras all talk about this condition, just prove it to us, and explain to us why people who don’t understand, any sentient beings, animals, even undead, etc., can die because of the power of the Buddha’s name. It is Wan Dehong's name.We have been reading for a long time, and we all think that he is a dead thing?We don’t have faith in Him, and we don’t know that it is so extraordinary. Because we are getting more and more clear, so we don’t have to read what we have to do, and miss what we have when we have time. Naturally.

Let me tell you another example. We have a chairman in Malaysia, and another in Johor Bahru. When I went to promote the Fa, at that time, Mr. Ku Ling also went to the class. A colleague told me that she Her mother was demented and then paralyzed. She lay down for XNUMX years and was very bitter. Then she hired foreign workers to take care of her. None of her family members studied Buddhism. She was the only one who studied Buddhism. She was very filial. Living in the dojo, and then want to do these things, the merits and then return to help her get free early, but she doesn’t know whether it’s right? I went to lecture, she came to ask me, and I told her, I said you secretly put the Buddha's name Let her know that her family does not study Buddhism. I said it’s okay. You can recite the Buddha's machine, and then you have the opportunity to go. You can tell her a few words. She secretly took advantage of her family’s absence, and then gave her a little rice. For foreign workers in China, when your family members are away, you will play the Buddha's name to her. Then she sometimes visits her and tells her a few discourses. You must recite the Buddha, ask for the Buddha, put it down quickly, and rebirth in the world of bliss, don’t Nostalgia, talk about these key points to persuade her, on the one hand, persuasion, on the other hand, she has been listening to what she has been listening to, and her karma has been eliminated.The Buddha name has the power to help her eliminate karma.A Buddha's name is a felony of eight billion kalpas.This is all proven by classics.Isn't it? You just believe it or not.Belief can get benefits and induction, then if you don't believe it, he has this power in itself, so it is still effective. Of course, if we believe, his induction power will be stronger and more extraordinary.As a result, she just listened like this, not a month, died, and left, and Ruixiang is very good, she came to thank me.This is a layman, a female congregation who is studying, she told me about this matter, and I recorded this matter on a CD. This is a living example.She was vegetative and was paralyzed for sixteen years and then demented, and there are many examples of this.If you look at this kind of example online, there are many practical examples.

Then we didn’t know why before. It’s obviously that some people chanted very hard and couldn’t die, and there was no news for decades. But why some people die easily, it’s hard to believe, right? Now we know. The truth is, the power of the Buddha's name, and it must have a cause and condition, is to confirm the Amitabha Sutra. It is the only condition that you must not live in the other country by virtue of the lack of roots and virtues.People who don't have enough good roots don't believe it when they hear it, right? Good roots and merit, how do you give him this treasure, he doesn't want it, there is no blessing, and can't stand it, and then she can't go to people who have no karma.Don't live in another country by fate.He didn't say that he could not have no cleverness and wisdom, then no one-hearted, pure heart, and then work hard. Nothing.Right? There are no conditions, there are only good roots, merits, and karma. You can’t meet them. Of course you can’t die. If you meet them, tell you, you don’t believe that good roots and merits are not enough. Less good roots and merits, He said You can’t use less good roots, you can’t do less, you say I’m kind, right, and then go do some good deeds, yes, it’s kind, but it’s too little, the roots of goodness are too few, no, don’t believe it, still According to the Amitabha Buddhist scriptures, being without chaos, what is being without chaos, Master Shandao explained that it is not that there is no delusion and a pure heart, but a single-minded, dedicated mind that is not mixed or messy. In this original translation of Master Xuanzang, Another translation, the translation of the Amitabha Sutra, is more clear. It is not chaotic. You only need to think about Him, and you will think about Him. This is the meaning of Master Jura’s translation of undisrupted mind, not pure mind without delusional thoughts. So we don’t need to practice Kungfu. Then his patriarch interpreted this wholeheartedly and used their self-reliance method of meditation, meditation, wisdom, and interpretation in that way, it’s okay, but it’s not a true pure land theoretical thinking method, no.You see, what Master Shandao told us is very understanding in all aspects, and there is no doubt, and they are all reasonable.

I used to specialize for twelve years. In the first twelve years, the more I studied, the more confused I became. I had a lot of doubts. I wondered why he hadn’t heard anything after reciting the Buddha for decades. It’s so difficult. I didn’t have any news on my own reading. It's weird that some people die one after another, and another one after another. How can they be trusted? Right, they are just confused.Because the more you learn, the more information you have, but you don’t know what is true, just like this.So we still have to rely on our good roots.Okay, one more question, ok, this is faster.

Everyone asked: Hello, Master. I remembered that when I was playing Buddha Seven, when I was resting, I was shaving in the mirror, and suddenly there was a voice saying that Li Jincheng was reborn in the West. How do you explain this?

Master Renjing: What are you already?

People asked: Li Jincheng was born in the West and called my name

Master Renjing: You are reborn in the West in this life,

People: Li Jincheng, my name, Li Jincheng is not Li Jinsheng

Master Renjing: Oh, I heard you wrong.Your name is Li Jinsheng.Oh, it's so smooth.Li Jinsheng then reborn in the West,

All: Li Jincheng, the city of the city, reborn in the West

Master Renjing: Li Jincheng, Li Jincheng, reborn in the West.

Zhong: There will be this sound, wondering what does this mean?

Master Renjing: Do you feel that it is a voice from outside or a voice from your heart.

Public: It's actually the voice in my heart.

Master Renjing: The voice in my heart is actually a good thing. Okay, please sit down.Don’t worry about all the phenomena. What the Shurangama Sutra tells us is that the content is very good and auspicious. Either it encourages you, or it persuades you, or it proves to you that you can die. .All are good things, right? This is the correct answer.Don't think about what is the true correct answer. This is the correct answer. Oh, we must remember that all our thinking must be in accordance with the Buddhist scriptures, in contrast, and in accordance with the positive.Don't interpret it negatively, it must be wrong.There must be no good things, so this phenomenon means that either the sentient beings who are predestined with you or the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are blessing you, and there are many sentient beings living in our own bodies, you don't know.Like that Venerable Canoga, didn’t he heal one or the other that is Wuda Guoshi’s public case? His feet hurt so much that there are so many blacks living there, right? Many living beings in our body, maybe he I will also tell you that if you are chanting Buddha and you are practicing, he is very happy. He would like to please you and persuade you, or it is possible for the Buddha and Bodhisattva to bless you. This is a very good thing.That one is going to die in this life, everyone can communicate more and get close to good knowledge.Ha ha ha-the positive magnetic field, we all bless each other, and we should not listen to all negative thoughts, but also persuade him.We often speak good things, the old monks say good things, be kind, and be good people, right? All the positive things we absorb, and the negative ones should be eliminated.For example, our platform is very clean. In the platform, our Facebook platform is full of chattering and fighting. Our platform has been very clean for three years. There is no chance for you to leave some bad words? Advise you, don't listen to the horse and send you away. You can't talk nonsense from here, so soon everyone is behaved.Then the people who came were very polite, respectful, very beneficial, and a very clean platform.The same is true for our practice. We must maintain a clean magnetic field at home and in the dojo. Don’t go, oh, in order to say that I am to find the truth, I am going to argue with you, or that I am going to be good for you, so I have to force How about you, emitting a bad magnetic field, no, it's all wrong, no matter how good your reason is, it's all wrong.Because you have no wisdom, the method is wrong, so you understand? That time is over, a little reluctant, it doesn’t matter, anyway, time is also false, in the blink of an eye, impermanence is happening at any time. If you say you die, you die, and you can regenerate if you die. It's such an impermanent change. Then we only need to grasp every cause and condition in the moment to achieve Consummation.The set is eternal.We truly have the right to grasp the present, and you will get benefits in the present, then the present is eternal.Okay, then we will study here today.

Some fellow practitioners on the side of the Malaysian Pure Sect Society, it is rare for them to come to participate in the ordination this time, so I will also give them an answer.The first question he asked was to follow the seventh article of the Buddhism disciples rules. The "Family Industry" said, "Tathagata family industry is passed down by the four people, the monk, the public and the vulgar, and the two are mutually integrated. "Fang Xiaozi", he didn't write very clearly, that is, we also have verses in the rules of the benevolent disciple, you can memorize it, and he should write this verse.He asked that there is a teacher in our society, and he made a heart to teach us the fourteen lectures of Buddhism. May I ask if you can participate in the bodhisattva ordination, or call other masters to listen to the lecture.Yes, because we specialize in pure land and we don’t want to practice miscellaneous cultivation, but we can rejoice, because there is one in the bodhisattva vows. If someone preaches the scriptures within forty miles, we must listen to it.

You have to listen to it, not every scene, but with the permission of your cause, it is also related to our major. Like this fourteenth Buddhist course, which is a basic course, common knowledge of Buddhism can be used.So if you think you have spare capacity, you can participate.It’s up to you whether you go to help, participate or not.It's not that you can't go there, or if you don't go, you won't be a bodhisattva.You can learn the precepts very happily, because I saw that there are some problems in him, because everyone doesn’t understand, so I’m very scared.Some make revolution, and all make divorce, and then they have their own attachments because of their daily routines, and they are all opposed to others, so that won't work.Some will really get divorced, some husbands do not receive the bodhisattva vows, and wives receive the bodhisattva vows. There is no way to coordinate in many aspects. Then I have talked about all of these, and you can watch them on the CD-ROM.

Then he said that the second question is to ask the question of release.If they want to see some live fish in the market and want to be rescued, but they don't know where to release the fish, in this case, is it a violation of this precept not to rescue?

Where can you save so many?Of course not!Didn't everyone violate the precept?It's not that hard. You go to someone who is predestined with you, you have money in your wallet, and your boss is willing to cooperate.Some of you want to release your life, and the boss will not sell you, and some.Then you have enough money, and you know where to go to release your life, and you will not let it die.

Can I participate in a large-scale release?In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. You have to be sure, because each cause is different, you feel that you are happy, and then you also feel sure that you can really release your life without letting you die, so you can.

If the cause is not sufficient, you have not done it, and you have not violated the precepts. The cause is not sufficient.Because it is true that sentient beings cannot finish saving, and they will never finish saving. You will know that sentient beings never finish saving, so we can do whatever we want, do whatever we want, and do whatever we want.In this case, we will try our best to achieve Consummation, and there will be no need for pressure, right.Do your best to achieve Consummation, what if you can't do it?Be ashamed and repentant.My merit and wisdom are not enough, and then I have to keep on doing it, so that's it.

The fifth of the five precepts is the wine ring. Can I add some wine to the dishes to make the dishes more delicious?You see, this is to think about the branches, branches and leaves, you can add them, there are some concepts, just clarify it.Wine ring is itself, wine itself is vegetarian, wine is made of rice and fruits, it is not meat.But why is it listed as a serious sin? It is a condemnation to prevent you from committing the first four precepts, the four heavy precepts, and even the other precepts.Because you will have sex after drinking, so as long as you are not drunk, you will not violate the precepts, but it is best not to drink, because basically you will be drunk (Laughter).People who are drunk will say: "I am not drunk, I am not drunk." People who say that they are not drunk are already drunk. This is because we have seen too much and heard too much, so we have to formulate this precept, because it is true. It's too dangerous. You are not a saint. Usually you can't control yourself. You are drunk without knowing it.

You won’t get drunk when you cook with a little bit of it, but if you want to keep it clean, it’s best not to add it, because there is no need to add it. Why are you greedy for this appetite, right?Unless it is said that some doctors told you that you must use it, make a drug introduction, what must be done, if you are true, your parents want you to do this, and the cause and fate around you have to do it, okay!Then you can open the fate.Then you add a little wine, it will not be drunk on the one hand, and the wine will melt after cooking.But don't do it deliberately, let yourself be a little stressed, and don't say it too casually, because this is good for you, the more pure you hold, the better.Try not to eat including milk and eggs, but it does not matter if you want to eat it. It does not matter if you are not vegan. Remember on the Sixth Day and remember to hold it well on the Sixth Day.If you don't keep it, then you have to repent, which means you haven't kept this precept.Someone also asked me about the Sixth Day. I’m talking about it now because time is running out. If something happens on the Sixth Day, can I hold it on the next day or another day?No, no.Because the gods come to patrol on the XNUMXth day, it’s like that on these special days, there is a presidential government official who wants to patrol to see if the people are well-behaved. If you see him, he will give you extra points. So you have a special hold on these six days. Quit, has the effect of adding points, that's it.Therefore, on certain days, these good gods will come out to patrol. This is their work, their deacons.

Then if you can’t hold it that day, just give it up and give it up. For example, you have to keep the eight precepts on the Eight Passes and Six Fasts. For example, if you want to eat with someone, if you don’t eat after lunch, you can hold it. You give up to one person and give up to one person. You can say that someone, I have to give up this vow, like this.That means you have not violated the precepts. If you have renounced the precepts, you have not violated the precepts, so don’t worry about breaking the precepts.That’s because the eight fasts are only one day, so you only give up on the same day. You don’t want to give up the whole bodhisattva, or if you can’t, just focus on that one time. You don’t want to give up all of them. Then I will give up the whole six fasts. Don’t hold on, then it’s not good. We can hold on as much as possible. You don’t always have things, right?

Or if you go out, you can learn how to dominate the whole external karma and let the people around you follow you to become a vegetarian. If they can't follow you to become a vegetarian, that's okay. Don't prevent you from becoming a vegetarian.With everyone, you still eat your meat side dishes, and use your wisdom to overcome it as much as possible. If it really doesn’t work, then you can eat it!Just leave this one. You can't keep this precept on that day, and you won't break the precept.Try to follow your own destiny as much as possible to be able to keep your vigilance clean, slowly ascending, and slowly ascending, so there is no pressure to keep the precepts, and there is no need to be afraid, worry about this, worry about that.

He also said that disciples who received the Five Precepts should not sell pirated CDs, and what precepts would they commit if they sold it?You should all know it, right? (Public answer: guilty of the ring of stealing)Right, copying this is an infringement of intellectual property rights. No, this is a pirate ring.Of course, there are some special circumstances, because for example, there are some, such as the great virtue of the Patriarch, you see how the "Srangama Sutra" came to China, the "Srangama Sutra" is a national treasure!It is not allowed to be spread outside. It was Patriarch's great virtue who cut the meat, then secretly hid it in the meat and sewed it, brought it here, and spread it to China. Then he is willing to accept this result, so it is not impossible, kill the thief. All lusts can open up fate, if you can bear the retribution.The ancestor of Huayan Sect, Master Yuan Xiao, a Korean, he broke the licentious precept, and he became the ancestor later!There is a reward for breaking the fornication ring, and the monastery will not accept him, and then walk around like a beggar.However, he has his cause for breaking the precepts. In order to save a princess, he grew up with a childhood sweetheart, and then saves her to receive the bodhisattva precepts, receive the five precepts, and cultivate at home.

He left after three days and was caught back to work as a concierge. He had a bridal chamber with her. This is an example of this.There are also some of the great virtues of the Patriarch. I don’t know if it’s Master Yongming Yanshou or which one. He is working as a public servant, so he steals money from the public and releases his life to do good deeds. Then, most of us, it’s best not to do good deeds. Fate, you can do as much ability as you have. Don't do business to make huge profits for others, to protect the Three Treasures, no need!Our Sambo does not collect money that is not net wealth.Otherwise, it will harm you to create karma. This is all about the desire to climb.The Great Bodhisattva is aware of karma, and when he feels sure, he will open the karma.So we try to learn as honestly as possible, there is no need to use pirated things, or to violate these precepts, the basic precepts, especially the basic precepts, to kill theft and adultery.

Then take the bodhisattva ordination to cook meat dishes for your family, can you try the taste?Yes you can!Try it if you want!It’s just that I’ve just talked about some principles. Take it by yourself. It’s okay if you don’t have a vegetarian diet. If you have a reason, try your best. When you want to try the taste, first ask yourself whether you like to eat secretly. Still have to try.If your kung fu has improved and it’s not bad, please encourage you. Now you are less greedy. If you are still very greedy, it’s okay. Just eat. Then you will feel ashamed, knowing that you are too bad. I played the incense stick, and finally admitted that I was a sinful life and death ordinary man, and then the body and mind softened. Before I said a sentence of two or three sentences, and after a long period of training, the superficial softness may not be true. She's compliant, just pretending, or I'll be driven away, I'll drop out of school.

Then slowly and for a long time, the body and mind are really soft, it is really not easy, so it depends on yourself!You have to see your own level first, and then feel ashamed. Then it will naturally be a motivation that will help you. You really have not grown for a long time, it doesn’t matter, the longer you delay, your ashamed will become more and more serious. , Suddenly you turn around, wow!The one hundred and eighty-degree prodigal son turned his head back, terrible! "Let go of the butcher knife and become a Buddha right away." It is possible to become a Buddha right away. It doesn't matter. I'm afraid that you won't learn, that you won't hold the precepts, that you won't cultivate, and that you won't be able to hold them well.Those who don’t practice, don’t take precepts, and don’t learn precepts. What people say is to find reasons for themselves. Those are all wrong concepts, and some are serious. I really want to hold on, and I also want to learn and work hard. Good guys, how and how to do it... The problem is that the concept is wrong, the method is wrong, and the effect of doing it simply cannot be achieved.

Can I eat green onions and garlic when I eat out? There are fried vegetables or meat side dishes?Meat side dishes are okay, either.Can tonic wine and medicinal wine be drunk?Yes, I just talked about this.Try not to!There is nothing that really needs it!We practitioners don’t eat anything. Look at the Arahant, one meal a week, and one meal for Pichi Buddha two weeks. It’s enough. Really, you don’t have to eat when you go to the world of physicality. Only geniuses in the world of desire eat, so we try our best to do this, there is no such thing as impossible, it depends on whether you want it or not!There is nothing that cannot be done in keeping the precepts. It is entirely up to ourselves.It doesn't matter if we can't feel our heart, we can't help but feel ashamed to see how bad we are.It will improve one day!

As long as you don’t leave the Three Treasures, you can see people slowly improving, and one day you will feel that it’s no good. If you lose, you don’t lose. Let’s go!I rushed to the front at once, I was afraid that you would leave the Three Treasures, I just want to rely on myself, I am slow, I think I can do it by myself, then it's over!It must be degenerate. Beings have no power at all, so they are called ordinary beings. They are full of greed, hatred and ignorance. No one is not, so they must rely on the Three Jewels.

Can eggs, milk and honey be eaten?Honey is fine. Don't eat it after lunch, and don't eat eggs or milk.

There are rice worms when washing rice in life. After washing, there are rice worms. Can the larvae be discarded?Can it be destroyed?He wrote about elimination, don’t have the idea of ​​elimination, it’s okay to throw it away, otherwise what do you want to do?If you want to save it, you can't raise it, right.If you dump it, just follow the normal procedure to deal with it, and then recite the Buddha's dedication.

Including what I just said, when you go to the vegetable market, you can’t let it go. It’s okay. You can talk to it, teach it, and recite the Buddha's dedication to it, but do it naturally and don’t let people think that you are evil. Talking to the chickens and ducks (everybody laughs), chanting words like this, if you learn Buddhism and learn weird things, you can do it naturally, and just do it with that intention.Because the merits of individual sentient beings are different, some will meet someone to save it, and some can't help it.

When planning a trip to sleep in a big bed on the Sixth Day, these and sleeping in a big bed can all be predestined.We Monk Guoqing also said that like staying in a restaurant, the feet of its bed are higher. You can’t saw off the feet of the bed. (Everyone laughs). If you really can, you can sleep on the ground as you like. , You can go to bed if you want to bed, this can be done, there is no way!So I said this precept is more outline, and I also directly teach you how to hold it. It is easy for you to understand and you can listen to it.So to go one step further, our monk has talked a lot, and Tianyin lawyers all have precepts, which are very detailed.For a long time, you can't finish learning from generation to generation, don't worry about learning it all at once, and then the more you learn, the more you learn, the more you learn.I am still studying. I have been a monk for more than ten years, and we still have a lot of things. The more we learn, the more we feel that we are inadequate.The more you learn, the more refined.

He said that I work in a company with an accountant and a meat processing business. Although I did not kill the business directly, can I continue to work?You are just an accountant, and it's okay to be an accountant. If you want a better cause, then you will switch jobs.In fact, the cause and effect are very clear. There is no absolute right or wrong. As long as you can bear the cause and effect, you are OK. You can make your own decisions. You can decide everything by yourself instead of asking the mage.How many predecessors do you have now, you can only do this, then you just do that, don’t you, do your best to make up for the others, recite the Buddha's destiny, etc. If you have a chance to change jobs, it’s better, it’s best to become a monk, just be afraid If you did not become a monk by fate, would it be cleaner?Is it up to your own cause and fate, your own motivation, and then the cause and effect are conceited, and you can't come, and you won't come.But even though we are reluctant to come, we can make our minds and improve step by step. This is something that every one of us can and should do, and what every Buddha disciple should do.

If I have free time in the company, can I handle my own affairs?Reading and searching for information on the Internet are tantamount to committing the crime of theft, but almost every one of my students commits the crime of theft, because they go online every day when they have time, but they go online for classes, they are not here to play, they themselves I work hard by myself.They all know that they know that they will find time to make up for it. For example, when they work, they will work harder, be responsible, and make up for it. Karma is conceited, and you should take care of it yourself, because some things must be opened up. You are not rigid. It's not that this one doesn't work, that one doesn't work.You only need to know what you are doing, you are doing what you should do, and then how do you make up for it, in all aspects to complete it, try to complete it, so that’s it, it’s not so rigid. , On the surface it is useless, that is the elementary class.

He said, can I use shampoo for Baguanzhai, these scented things?Try not to, but if it's just like that, it doesn't matter.This is because many temples nowadays, many of them now buy a large jar of shampoo, which has more or less scent. When playing the Buddha Seven and passing the precepts, they will not change the shampoo or body wash.So if you want to buy that tasteless soap yourself, it’s even better!It’s like this in principle now. It’s okay to learn these details slowly. Don’t put pressure on it. The most important principle to share with you is that we must "learn from suffering". I just talked about this because you want There is real happiness when there is suffering. You have to do it before you can understand what I am saying. Because I have walked through, I didn’t tell you to really endure hardship, but I taught you to find real happiness, so I told you to suffer. Find real music in it.

In the enjoyment of the five desires, there is no real happiness but suffering, so telling you not to enjoy pleasure is to tell you not to seek hardship. That's what it means. This concept needs to be reversed first.So life should be as simple as possible, the simpler the better, and the best way is to become a monk (laughter).Nothing to be a monk!Let it go, but of course not everyone can do it, it's too difficult!I just said that I have to shave two and run away right away, right? It's too difficult.Because this obstacle is huge, it takes a lot of good roots and blessings to truly become a monk. Otherwise, there is no way to be satisfied. I also want to help them. There is no way for all kinds of karma.But if we try to go in this direction, let our life be as simple as possible. If you understand the truth, you will know that this is enjoyment, and you will be more active in doing it.

The more thoroughly you give up, the more enjoyable life, the more thoroughly you give up, the more real happiness you will get, and then on the other hand, it is to grow our compassion, especially for those who receive the bodhisattva vow.Be sure not to look at other people's shortcomings, because after we receive the bodhisattva vows and obtain the vows from the three karma, we only have good dharma in our hearts. Just now, the evil dharma from outside has been turned into a good dharma, and there is no evil dharma.All the people are so cute, and the innocent creditor only came to save me in an annoying way.It seems to be very annoying, but in fact, he also came to save me. He is still very annoying in his habits. Everyone still quarrels, but their inner feelings are different. They will not really hate this person anymore. If you are the same, then you are truly a bodhisattva.Not only to maintain, but also to cultivate compassion.

Mr. Zheng asked on behalf of the audience: Yes! In Buddhism, in terms of time, you are practicing! There are also food and beverages! Are there any rules?

Master Renjing: Buddhism, being a monk is different from being at home.It is best for lay members to be vegetarian, but there are no strict rules. However, monks must be vegetarian. This is set by Emperor Wu of China, because he is a Bodhisattva ordained. He wants to develop this compassion. He is an emperor and he has power. However, there is no Hinayana country in the South. There is no mandatory system of vegetarianism. The monks are a beggar system. The sentient beings should eat everything and don't cause trouble to others. This system is to allow sentient beings to cultivate blessings before they have the opportunity to talk to him. But Buddhism is now the most prosperous in China, which is the best developed, so the precepts are more strict.Therefore, practicing at home and being vegetarian is good for our own health. This is a causal relationship and is not mandatory.So if you want to become a Buddhist, we welcome it. The Catholic is the father, and the Buddha Shakyamuni is the teacher. It’s not contradictory.

Jushi Zheng asked on behalf of the audience: She asked if you, a vegetarian, have undergone a physical examination or medical examination. Will you be missing something? Or do you want to add something?

Master Renjing: No, no.In fact, we have a lot of data in these aspects, she can check it by herself, and from the facts, from the facts, all vegetarians are healthier and younger than those who eat meat. This data is too much, and on the contrary Yes, there are also a lot of data on cancer and various diseases of meat-eating people, because we have limited time, so we don’t talk about it here, you can check it online. OK!

Mr. Zheng asked on behalf of the audience: He asked, is this Buddhism a religion or a philosophy?

Master Renjing: Buddhism is a kind of education.It is an education of life in the universe, so it contains philosophy and a belief sentiment of religion, just like we believe in Amitabha, just like you believe in the heart of the Virgin Mary, Buddhism is also medicine and science, everything All the doctrines are contained in it, so it is the education of cosmic life. OK!

Can get more information!Message?Information? In fact, there are a lot of information on the Internet, yes, and it is recommended that they listen to some of the teachings of the masters, or because they are relatively few Christians who talk about this topic, just some, there are some materials in English, Some masters also talked about environmental protection and some issues related to vegetarianism. These teachings can support them. It is easy to check the food information on the Internet.

The audience asked questions. Jushi Zheng translated: She said that onions and garlic are because they have a taste! How did you deal with this relationship? And this is the soybean. Now there are many genetically modified soybeans. How do you think about this problem? ?

Venerable Renjing: Actually we are vegetarian! For real great spiritual practitioners, in terms of Buddhism, an arahant only eats one meal a week, which means that a real spiritual practitioner does not need to eat, but because our practice is not very high now, So we never eat meat and do not harm animals, try our best, and then reduce one meal without eating after lunch. In this way, reducing one meal can reduce the damage to plants.We can only do as much as we can, and we must not let us live very hard, and we must use a repentant heart to confess that we are not good enough in practice, and there are too many desires for food and various aspects, so it doesn’t matter if we can’t do it, or You can eat, but you have to repent.

Buddhism does not eat anything that tastes like onions and garlic, and monks do not eat them, because it is harmful to our souls. If garlic is eaten raw, it will be lustful. We monks cannot have sex. , Because you have craving, you cannot concentrate on practicing and purify your soul.If garlic is eaten well, it will have a grumpy temper, which is bad for our practice.

And some green onions! These leeks don’t taste good. Some gods and angels don’t like to come close to us and protect us. They don’t like us and think we are smelly, so we don’t eat these things.All these precepts are to help us practice well, make our body and our heart healthier, and then we can get more good friends, good people are willing to approach us, and then our days will pass. More and more happy.

Jushi Zheng asked: What about genetically modified soybeans?

Master Renjing: Genetically modified soybeans means that many things in this world are polluted, so we can only reduce it as much as possible. The less we eat, of course, the less pollution we are exposed to. We can only work hard in this way.For example, we all grow our own vegetables, try not to eat some polluted things, and do not use pesticides and fertilizers to harm the environment, so we must first start with a vegetarian diet and slowly reduce all kinds of pollution. OK!?

The audience asked questions. Jushi Cheng Translation: Just try to eat as little as possible. Is it through this sitting meditation? Or do yoga to minimize this amount?

Master Renjing: This is done at the same time and complements each other, so I will teach you yoga to worship Buddha today. You don’t have to be Buddhists. We worship Amitabha, but you can worship God. That’s because exercise is very important. Medicine has proven that we are in a good state of exercise, we can, we can (something happened at the scene, the audience cried out and laughed repeatedly)..

Ju Shi Zheng explained to Master: The little macaque took the audience's bag away.

Master Renjing: Wow! Take advantage of the fire!

Jushi Zheng: Take advantage of the fire and rob.

The audience at the meeting asked questions. Jushi Zheng translated: She wanted to ask you what you ate for breakfast, what you ate for lunch, and when did you eat? She also asked (referring to another audience), the same question.

Master Renjing: OK, OK, I will answer her question first, OK, I will answer this question first.

Jushi Zheng translated the question: It is what you eat, breakfast and lunch.

Master Renjing: What time to eat! It doesn’t matter, we eat at six, because we have to get up at four (for morning class); then we eat nuts, there are many kinds of nuts! Pine nuts! Pumpkin seeds! Peanuts! Many of this type of nuts have all the sources of protein, and beans and beans also have a lot of protein, as well as vegetables, juices, and various fruits. All of them are enough for our body. In fact, There are many types that can be eaten, so you are welcome to try Chinese vegetarian food if you have the opportunity.

The audience asked questions. Zheng Jushi translated: She asked you when will lunch start?

Master Renjing: We usually have lunch at eleven o'clock, because we can't eat anymore after twelve o'clock, we can only drink something without fibrous fluid, yes.

The audience asked Zheng Jushi Translator: He asked you, what kind of education does nature bring to you in Buddhism?

Master Renjing: (Master gestures with thumbs up) Good Question! The Buddha became enlightened under the Bodhi tree. He also practised in nature. After he became enlightened, he entered the human world in order to teach sentient beings.So in fact, as practitioners, we don’t like to go to places where the world is too noisy, and we don’t like to go to places that are too polluted, but in order to teach sentient beings, we have to sacrifice ourselves.But we are also very happy to sacrifice ourselves, because we know that all beings are one.So the power of nature is very important.

There are many auras in nature that we talk about, so before we practitioners get the Tao, we usually get close to nature first, which can help us purify our body and mind. Isn’t there a lot of Fendor essence next to a waterfall? Wow! That meditation It's great and easy to enter.Therefore, we also care about the protection of the environment, so today I am very happy and honored to have this opportunity to do this meaningful thing with you so many environmentalists.

In the future, this video will be circulated. We will record a large number of discs. We can provide it for free. We can provide it for free as much as you need. You can give it to others. After this person listens to it, he will change it in the future. It is also your merit to participate in protecting the environment.You can ask for this magic weapon from Cristina, or you can apply with us. The content we recorded today is of great help to everyone. So those who come to listen today, we will do it by ourselves, and after we do it, we will use it later. Give the disc to someone, and he sees you doing so well, this person is yours to save him.

Jushi Zheng: At home, in the shop, there is Korean food in it! He went to France.When he went to France, he ate a lot of vegetables in the morning! He also ate soup and so on. He wanted to ask you, that is to say, in vegetarian food, for example, our cabbage, and other vegetables and vegetables! It's all okay, all delicious, all good, just these kinds of food, isn't it like this?That's enough! Isn't it?Or consider the issue of nutrition?He wondered...well, yes, is it something like this?

Master Renjing: OK, we are not only eating vegetables and fruits. Because we are practicing now, we have a lot of delusions. Now science has proved that our energy consumption is XNUMX% above delusions, so we will practice and meditate in the future. , Chanting Buddha, after our delusions became less and less, at that time we didn’t even need all the food, our body’s pores could absorb the energy of nature, so the Pichi Buddha in Buddhism, I just made a mistake. Pichi Buddha eats one meal a week, Pichi Buddha is one, Pichi Buddha eats one meal two weeks, I was right, Sorry!

The Arahant eats one meal a week, and the Pichi Buddha eats one meal two weeks. So in fact, when we practice, our delusions become less and less, we need less and less food and drink enough water. , But we are not good at the beginning, so like the nuts mentioned just now, we can eat many kinds of nuts as long as they are not meat, and they are delicious, so you can also enjoy it when you are vegetarian.

Yes, there are many vegetarian recipes, and they are available online. It is very easy. I myself often drink Pu'er tea and some natural plants like mint. The main purpose is that it can detoxify.Yes, not necessarily, I didn’t use this to practice, but Chinese Zen attaches great importance to tea, and Japan also attaches great importance to tea ceremony, because tea usually makes people feel that it is very sweet, and then very pure. This is something that we practice. To enter a state of tranquility, it is very compatible.So our practice depends on our mind, not on this thing, but this thing is good for our practice, because all foods have their individuality and characteristics.

Just like vegetarian food, after it lets us eat, our temperament will be gentle.The person who eats meat is very explosive, like a lion, right?So this food will affect our heart and our physiology.Therefore, Buddhism emphasizes vegetarianism, not just to nurture our compassion and to inspire compassion, it can help our body and mind to be more harmonious and stable, so that it can inspire the full wisdom of each of us when our hearts are quiet. So Obtaining the wisdom of consummation is the ultimate goal of our practice. Vegetarianism and exercise are just a tool, just a method, the basic foundation.
