(XNUMX) You need to sit down and meditate early when listening to the scriptures and the law (this master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Dear fellow practitioners, good noon, Amitabha!

We were five minutes late today, and we were still within the scope of international etiquette. Just now the driver took us to the River Cruise. Actually, we went out very early today. The fellow initiates in front today seemed to be very polite. They didn’t dare to sit in front. It was inconvenient. Dozing off, it’s really rare for everyone to come here at this time. This time is just the time to go to bed, and our textbook here used to be half past one, but now we are all early and start the class at one point. Maybe some fellow practitioners don’t know. Later, they came in one after another. It may affect some of the recording effects, but it doesn’t matter. Maybe they don’t know. If we want to go to class, no matter where it is, we’d better be five minutes early and sit down. The mind calms down. In fact, both the lecturer and the lecturer both need it.

Like the old layman Li Bingnan, he is our layman's great virtue. He is very cautious in his lectures. He is silent all day long. He sits and recites Buddhism and calms his mind, because we have to learn Buddhism, not the worldly law. Buddhism must be very respectful. Sincere, you need to be quiet, you can only get into it under these conditions, so this pre-preparation is very important, and the listener is the same, you must be respectful. This is the first, and then you must also have your heart. Calm down, you are frizzy, no matter how good the Master teaches, it is useless. This is very important, so everyone should try to come as early as possible. Anyway, there is no sleep at noon. Since you are asking for the Fa!We will try our best to make it perfect.

Then the topic we are going to talk about today is "Respect to the Three Treasures to serve the teacher’s daily routine." This topic is very important. We learned this for the first five years of our ordination, the first five years of male monks, and the first six years of female students. The scope is not only to learn words but also to "respect the Three Treasures and serve the teachers." Who needs to learn this? Almost nine out of ten Buddhist disciples have to learn. Why? Everyone jumped over. Almost all of this foundation No... it hasn't been pierced. If it is not pierced, it is like building a building without a foundation!It’s very dangerous. It’s covered beautifully on the surface, but in fact it will fall down at any time, isn’t it?Think about it yourself.

Let’s see, at the beginning of entering Buddhism, what do we learn first? Reading scriptures and explanations seem to be correct, but in fact they are not right. Let’s talk about the precepts of monks and monks, what should we learn before the fifth and sixth years? ?Serving teachers to cultivate blessings and eliminate karma, you will have to do it until five or six years later. You must not only learn Chinese characters and develop good habits for a long time before you start listening to the scriptures and teachings. Those who are allowed to study Confucian classics, why?You have this moral foundation, this rule, some concepts and attitudes, and the attitude of studying the Fa have been established. Then you can learn the classics and theories that we have read, and you will have enlightenment at a glance, and the most important thing is that you won’t be wrong. You won’t be able to interpret the wrong, otherwise you will learn a lot about naming and physiognomy by then, and the things of emptiness are very mysterious. These realms seem to be well understood. In fact, what you learned in the end is not to learn Buddhism. It's about learning to become a demon, not becoming a Buddha, it's very dangerous.

Those outsiders are also studying Buddhist scriptures, and they also talked about the truth. This seems to be very researched. In fact, what is the difference between Buddha and demons?It’s only one percent, one percent. They also seem to explain the Scriptures with the top and the truth, they also have magical powers, and they have strong abilities, but you can’t see that one percent, so where does this one percent come from? set up?From the precepts, from the moral foundation, so this root is too important, we can not look at this simple and ordinary theme!In fact, almost everyone hasn't done well, and we still need to keep improving. All of us have not done well enough. Only when we reach Buddhahood can we be considered complete. So this lesson is very practical and very important.

Next month, we may be at the Chinese Temple. See our fellow practitioners at the Chinese Temple yesterday. Not everyone went there. It may be too far away. Then we might teach yoga and worship Buddha from next month. Then this... We have a CD-ROM here. If you are interested, please go back and watch it first. We have talked about this theory for several hours, and there are some fellow practitioners who are still in a very short time after they learn, what? After a few years of illnesses and pains have been healed, they will share their own experience. We have videos. Please go back and watch them. I don’t know if they have been copied. It seems that one of them has been copied, and the other is not yet ready. Sharing merits, these fellow practitioners came to the stage to report that they were all very eloquent. Why?It’s true, they’ve truly worshiped themselves, and they’re really useful, and their expressions are also very good.

In addition, our library will be closed at the end of the month this month. It has been arranged before that. We will also issue a perfect attendance award in the last class, because some initiates will not go to the Zhonghua Temple. Maybe this is a stage of completion. , So what are we going to do?It means that if you come in the second class, anyway, after you come to the class for the first time, you feel consummated, which is full attendance. Then, if you missed the first class, he would not have this opportunity. , Then this award still needs to be kept secret!You will be in the last class, and naturally the answer will be revealed. This is also an encouragement!Encourage everyone to participate. Of course, this award must be quite special, not something that you usually get easily.

Let me ask again if any of our fellow practitioners have been on my Facebook, please raise your hand, no!No, have you ever been?Also, Diana has. She told me just now that she saw pictures of me when I was young, with long hair, wow!After I became a monk, all a dozen photo albums were destroyed, and there were only two photos left, and she even saw them.I might have mentioned this a little bit in the first class before, so maybe some initiates didn't know, many of them didn't know, we have a class on Facebook, and today there are two handouts?Do you have two?I gave it all!This is all the class I gave on Facebook, among which we saw this... this general outline, this is for your reference.Because of our topic today, I have excerpted a few verses from this broad-based course, and there are five verses, so I also printed this entire broad-based syllabus to you by the way.

It takes at least two years to complete the lecture outline of this chapter. Then our class has been open for almost two years. On Facebook, it has been open for almost two years. When will you graduate?We were originally scheduled for three years!Later, I cancelled this date. Why?If these fellow practitioners fail to complete their studies after three years, should I issue this diploma?After this was posted, I smashed my own sign, in case I didn't learn well, right?So I cancelled this date altogether.

And the practice is actually endless. As a result, I didn’t expect that our class has only been open for more than a year. Recently, I observed their level.I have sent everyone to open a branch for more than a year!Some people have not made progress for XNUMX to XNUMX years!When we fellow practitioners first came, all of us were old, weak, and remnant soldiers, which is really the case.Even if you have entered Buddhism for XNUMX or XNUMX years, you still have to learn again. It is really after a period of strict training. The so-called strictness is that if you really want to learn, you will not feel strict, but you will feel...Hey!There is an atmosphere of dominance, so everyone has a great time learning.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Li Fen

(XNUMX) Make good use of the Internet platform to practice diligently (this is not the master of the drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Opening a branch means on Facebook, you all know about Facebook! Facebook, it’s an international network platform. Maybe the old Bodhisattva doesn’t know it. If you go back to the Internet, you can go up and have a look. Those who don’t know can also learn it. It’s not difficult for the old Bodhisattva to learn, just a few. It's just action, this one works very well!It’s a dojo that doesn’t cost anything at all. You see that our temple is so hard to build now, and then this protector is also very hard to maintain. After it’s built, we will need to maintain it. We don’t need this, it’s all free, and people who use the Internet are also free. Then we Just make good use of this platform to teach, which really benefits many fellow practitioners.

Every week... because of our Facebook section!It has a limited number of friends of XNUMX. This concept is like saying that it will give you a free space. Then I will make it a lecture hall. How many people can participate, it has an upper limit of XNUMX. , Then our number is already full. Our monks may have a wider relationship with the world. Later, we opened a fan major in another place. Then every week, the number of people who have been participating is increasing. Every week The average number is about XNUMX or more. Come and learn to see our posts and articles, so this way of class is very convenient for everyone!Because our people are getting busier and busier now, and you can take classes at home. When we first used this platform, we were also very unfamiliar. In fact, most people are rarely as successful as ours.

Why? Because everyone turned this Facebook, Facebook turned it into a life-and-death, not a life-and-death, Facebook (must die), because of its English Face, this face, Book is a book, Facebook, many people use it Think of it as a platform to introduce yourself, Facebook!Just introduce your own personal life, and then make friends in a space, so many people make friends there...make friends on it!Fall in love!After the quarrel, I left a message and left some bad mood messages, but after I participated, of course, there were other mages who also had some activity announcements on it, but all of them were in the form of a podium like us, without any. The idle talk is all the content of the teaching, probably only us, and it is very successful, that is, the number of participants is increasing, it has only been more than a year, and it is very stable now.

Those who are just starting out, because many people are not used to it at the beginning, the Internet is also very strange, and they don't understand the function of this platform, so some people leave a message to ask questions!It's all troublesome to come and find, because this is public!It's internationally open, and everyone can watch it for free!Then someone will leave a message to question: "Hey! Can we learn Buddhism go online?" The previous concept was that going online seems to be playing!So and the attitude is not very good, it seems that we are relaxed!Especially monks, especially now there are many laymen who specialize in managing monks, or some people specialize in seeing people who are sick. Whether you are a monk or at home, he is accustomed to picking out people who are sick.He even questioned me: "Can people who study Buddhism go online?" Then I told him, I answered, and I told him, "If you want to watch pornographic websites online, of course you can't! Buddhism is not allowed, of course it is not possible to kill theft and adultery, but if you want to come to us to learn Buddhism, then you are a person who really wants to work hard, because we have very new courses every day and systematic teaching."

Although all of us students didn’t understand anything at first, and were not used to this platform, and then didn’t understand the attitude of learning Buddhism. Individuals are very diligent, go online every day, go to class every day, not online playing video games to watch pornography, the concept needs to be redefined, so people who do not know the computer can learn it, because it is convenient!On this platform, we have to cultivate every day in our practice. Then you have to go out. It is really not easy for you to come and listen to a class, and it is also very rare. It is really worth one hundred, just look at it as a baby!So if you can bring one by yourself, wow! That's great merit, great merit, because it's too difficult, and it's too difficult to have enough furniture to hear the causes and conditions of the scriptures, so you are very mindful and very rare. Indeed, we will continue. The mage he described is not an exaggeration at all. The one who came to listen for the third time has become a fan, and he is very interested, and only wants to continue to learn after he has responded.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Li Fen

(XNUMX) The five recitations are the foundation of the Dao. (The master of the draft has not yet set the school. If there are typos, please report the error. The merits are boundless!)

This textbook, we have five verses in front of this handout, which belong to our wide-ranging class.We talk about this lesson extensively, and all of them use chanting...now it’s only about one-fifth of it, and it’s not finished yet, then this is the previous chanting, although it is the method of chanting, it can be condensed Essence, then this course; the whole course includes this... It seems that the title is "Pure Land Sect of Taoism and General Theory", which is the order of practicing the Pure Land, what do we learn about Buddhism before we can enter the Lord Cultivation, until the final achievement is to become a Buddha, until the final achievement of the multiplication wish and then come again, all of them are included, but the term seems to only be the pure land method, but it also includes the large and small multiplication of the Dharma. Let’s look at the front of the outline. I know, the picture we drew, the suffering, emptiness, impermanence, and non-self mentioned earlier, this includes the education of the Hinayana and Mahayana, and this is an introduction to the broad theory and broad theory by the way.

Then the five verses we are talking about today are not there yet, and they have not yet entered this topic. This is just a part of the foundation before the Tao. Therefore, you can keep this lecture, your scientific judge, for future reasons. If you want to learn, then why do you want to learn this paragraph today?Because if this attitude is not adjusted, what can we learn?We can’t even absorb the most basic introductory things. Why? I told you about suffering, emptiness, impermanence, and non-self. We know that it’s hard.You know that this world is transfigured, so we have to recite Buddhism to survive, but why we still don’t get any benefits after entering Buddhism for XNUMX to XNUMX years. That is, the foundation of our Dao hasn’t been well established, so we also put it forward in this place. There are a total of five recitations for learning.

Then let’s read it again. First, the teacher’s kindness is great, just read it with me, "We thank the second teacher for saving my life, so that I can get out of the Three Realms Sea; the Shenlun has been long and three hardships, if there is no teacher, when will it be? I hope that from now to the future, I will devote my mind and body to the dust; I will become a Tathagata, and be a Tathagata forever.” You have read this paragraph again. Have you all made your mind to become a monk?No, plant a seed! This sutra is like the Shurangama Sutra, or we are chanting it! We recite the words of Ananda before this Shurangama mantra: "Bon the body and mind to the dust." Then every time we recite Once again, it's like making a vow. In fact, we didn't really make the vow, but we planted a seed.

So this paragraph is actually based on the highest standard. We really want to make such a wish in the attitude of studying Buddhism. Why?Because only with the intention to become a Buddhist monk, can our virtue as a disciple of Buddha be truly consummated. This is the highest standard. Of course, not everyone will be able to do it right away. We can develop this mind. Of course it’s impossible. La!But we have to understand that this standard is what we really have to work hard to achieve. Some talents have just begun to learn Buddhism, and they have not really been motivated to study Buddhism. Of course, it is impossible to become a monk. This is not anxious, but we all Have a concept.

Let me talk about it first. We have two main points on this topic today. This section of the recitation is to. The first point is to establish our respect for the Three Jewels. We must first understand how great the Three Jewels are for us.Only when we are able to truly have a respectful heart, it seems that we are not very familiar, how can we respect you even if we are not very familiar.He doesn’t understand what kind of virtue the Three Treasures have for us. Of course you won’t be very careful and don’t care too much. Then naturally we can’t have this kind of attitude and the attitude that we have. If you get started, you will not be able to get any benefits after studying for a long time. This is a very crucial relationship.In this first part, we will learn the specific methods of daily serving teachers. We will give you some suggestions for the specific methods from the aspects of body, mouth and mind.

This weeping thanks, the second teacher we are talking about here, the second teacher refers to our master Shakyamuni Buddha and Amitabha, not me!We treat you as fellow Daoists, and we learn together. Then I have two identities. One is the Three Jewels, representing the Buddha's teaching. Our role is like this. On the other hand, we are also fellow Daoists. learn.So have you ever, is there such a weeping thank you?Is there such a state of mind that is very touched and moved to be grateful to the Three Jewels?Ever?Yes!That's not easy.

Many people have studied Buddhism for a long time and still don't feel it. It's superficial, superficial!This seems to be very diligent in the dojo, and often works together, but it is still hard at heart!I’m not very close to the Sambo, let’s not talk about being thankful and crying. I feel that Sambo has such a great kindness to us. In fact, people who really feel this way are really lucky. You definitely have a way to start. You have saved people, no matter whether your roots are stupid or smart, this is very important. You must first have a feeling for the Three Jewels in your heart, and then you must be moved and grateful. This is the most important condition for entry, and then you can learn more concretely. Only by studying the doctrine can you truly absorb and follow the teachings.

What kind of grace does the Three Treasures have for us?Then why do we teach the second teacher here, especially the second teacher, because we are focusing on our major in reciting the Buddha, and we are all Buddhist cultivators, we specialize in the pure land method!So we need to add our own deity, Amitabha. The relationship between Amitabha and us is no less than that of Buddha Shakyamuni. Our true teacher is Buddha Amitabha. Buddha Shakyamuni is the master. He is the role that introduced us to Amitabha. .Of course it is also very important. We must not forget our roots, we are our teachers!But who is our real teacher?Amitabha, we especially want to feel the relationship between Amitabha and us.So of course the two masters and the two teachers have kindness to us, so in general, what kind of kindness does the Three Jewels have to us?This led me to conclude that the Sea of ​​Three Realms can help us to transcend reincarnation. Once we transcend reincarnation, what is it like? It is equivalent to saving our lives for generations. Is this kind of virtue great?This is so much more than parents.

In this world in our concept, who has the greatest kindness to us?Parents, this is for sure, because he gave us life in this life!Regardless of whether we are taught well or not, people give birth to us, and life is given to us through them. But what about the grace of the Three Jewels?Bigger, why?It helps us to liberate completely, and it seems to be liberated, beyond reincarnation, but on the other hand, if there is no transcendence reincarnation, if there is no saving guidance of the Three Jewels, then we will continue to perish in the sea of ​​life and death from life to life. Isn't it right? This is immeasurable life, immeasurable life and death!Therefore, the Three Treasures save us not only the life of one lifetime, but the kindness is so great.Of course, if you haven't gotten the benefits, you can't feel it, and you get a little bit, you will feel a little grateful.Then when you really understand the truth of this fact, that kind of inner touch is more than weeping?There is no way to fully express it in words.So why does someone really want to become a monk when you reach that realm? In this world, we will make a thorough response, and a reward is to become a monk.

What is a monk?When you become a monk, you donate your body and mind to the Three Treasures, including all the material in our world. After you give it away, of course you have cultivated to a certain level in your realm. If you want to save sentient beings, you need tools and these materials.At this time, you can mention it again, that is for all beings, for the management of all beings, and that is not what you need.Prior to this, if the beginners were motivated to become a monk, we should not touch money if we hold the precepts!We have to give up everything, including my physical body. Why do we have to give up so thoroughly?Want to show it!Only in this way can you save sentient beings, sentient beings admire you, you practice morality, otherwise why we should respect you, you just shave off your hair!Why you should be respectful is because you practice precepts and teach by example to save sentient beings, so you are worthy of being a celestial teacher.Regardless of whether you have cultivated well or not, you are already doing this, and your standard of life is already different from that of people in the world. That's why you are qualified to be a human celestial master.

After giving up both body and mind, you can do the Tao with all your heart. Regardless of whether there is a way to teach sutras and salvation in this life, look at our tens of thousands of monks in Taiwan. How many people do you actually see on TV preaching the sutras and spreading the Dharma ?Very few, very rarely!Our lectures are still more valuable than you, and there are fewer people, but because people now don’t pay much attention to listening to the Fa, it seems that they can’t feel it, but they are actually rarer.Then even if you can’t dedicate yourself to teaching the sutras on behalf of the Buddha, because this is the most fascinating way to bear the burden of the Tathagata family business. You have to learn to teach and promote the Dharma to benefit your life. It is not just a practice meeting with others, that is a skill. Convenient, not the most direct.No Buddha can save sentient beings without preaching scriptures.

Even if there is no way to make such a wish, or if there is no such a cause and ability, at least after we set out to become a monk, we must keep the precepts and be pure, practice diligently as much as possible, and be an example of example. And if we devote ourselves to the practice, we will achieve it more quickly and easily. If you achieve it earlier, you will have this ability earlier, and you will be able to save sentient beings by aspiration. Only in this way can we truly achieve Consummation by repaying the grace of Buddha. There is no desire to become a monk. It’s just that there is no such thing as diligence and no repaying of grace. There is a basis for this.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Li Fen

(XNUMX) The real practice should start from being a monk (this time, the master drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

The old monk Guangqin said that the teachings were very vernacular and ordinary, but the meaning was very far-reaching, so he said that a layman asked him, "Old monk, how can our laymen practice in order to repay Buddha's grace?" How do I start? I asked very seriously and thoughtfully, and then the old monk Guangqin talked about it, just plainly, he said, "Wow! You just want to study the Buddha and cultivate blessings at home. ".What does this mean? This has a lot of meaning!He didn't mean that if you study Buddhism at home and cultivate blessings, you have already graduated.No, there is no practice or practice at all!Generally speaking, the family members, of course, the few big lay laymen are not counted, and the Vimalakirti lay laymen who come back after wishing do not count. For most of the laymen, the objective conditions at home are not at all about cultivation.

Where does the practice start?Keeping the precepts, can you give it up? There are still many laymen who have taken care of the Three Jewels. It is already very rare, but in terms of proportion, it is less than XNUMX%, right?In that Buddha, he was instructed by his family members on how to protect the Three Jewels.The ratio should be at least one-third. You have to support yourself because you have to live at home, have children, and maintain your family. Do you want to have a career? You need a career to have income, and you have to solve the problems of life. The other one is to offer the Three Jewels. It is the duty of the lay family to offer the Three Jewels, because you are also a student of the Buddha!Buddhism's students, Buddhism does not charge tuition, right?We are all a family. We have the responsibility and obligation to bear the Tathagata family business together at home, and we must continue the Buddhism education and work, so we must have one-third of the intentions, specific wealth, and dharma. Alms to protect the Three Jewels, this is basic, and even this basic is rarely done, right? Why?Because the family members feel uneasy, they will feel that there is not enough money, because life is stressful, and because you have no legal benefit, you will feel uneasy inside.

You will worry that there will be no food tomorrow, and the tuition fee will not be paid. How...how.The house is not big enough and can never catch up with others, so even if you have a heart, you really have a heart with good roots, and want to protect the Three Jewels, you can’t do it. Then you can’t even fulfill your duty of good fortune. What are you talking about? Practice?Practice should start from keeping the precepts!If we analyze it in such a detailed manner, you would not dare to say: Alas!How well I cultivated. This is what the old monk Guangqin said, not me. We are only responsible for clarifying the words so that everyone can see the truth.After you see it, you will know our own level, hey!What's the good thing about us?Where is the missing?Only in this way can we know how to improve so that we won't misrecognize the news, and then delay ourselves, which is very troublesome!So real practice, talking about practice is really the beginning of a monk, this is how straightforward to speak frankly.

But in fact, there are many people who practice seriously at home. There is also a way to practice at home. But most of the time, it is mainly about the cultivation of blessings, right?This is true!You also occasionally go to the monastery to listen to the scriptures, and then send your mind, and then take care of it. The main part is to cultivate blessings. The practice of precepts is relatively small. Of course, our causes are different this time. Everyone should start to take the precepts of the Bodhisattva!It’s time to start practicing precepts. This precept is also the beginning of practice. At home, there are standards at home, but the standards are not so high. You see that family members can’t lust, and then wealth, food, food and sleep are all more demanding. At home They are also practicing precepts, and the bodhisattva precepts are not so strict, and you can start practicing.It’s okay to start the ordination, but the standard is not so high and not so strict. It is also a standard set for you within a range of the living conditions of your family. If you can’t do it, it doesn’t make sense, so We are talking about this part today.

We feel the great teacher's grace, how can we repay it?Just one standard of the family, let's talk about it.In general, many of us lay people in the dojos are very motivated, but just like we do business, you spent a lot of time today, and then you also used a lot of energy to plan how to do business and start a business, but is it not every family? The company makes money?Not necessarily!Some are still at a loss, right?Will it be protected in the Buddhist hall?Yes, yes, yes!You have donated a lot of money and done a lot of volunteer work. Will you have a good result in the end?Not necessarily, really.So if you want to learn, if you don't learn, your method is wrong, it's really wrong, just like doing business at a loss!It seems that the foundation is very important. Then we have to put it forward specifically. Where is the problem?It is our mentality is wrong.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Li Fen

(XNUMX) The repairs should also be done with respect (the master of the draft has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Most of the methods are the same!Either donate money or do volunteer work, but the mentality is often wrong. So you cultivate for a long time. Not only do you have no merit, but of course you have done it, and there is a cause and effect, but the result is very small, and the reward is very good. Small, but the karma you follow is bigger?why?You are not respectful, so today we are going to talk about the three treasures of respect, the first topic.In this way, even if you want to cultivate blessings, we should not talk about spiritual practice. Practice should be respectful. "If you are sincere and respectful, you will get a benefit!" said Master Yin Guang.The same is true for Xiufu, many people don’t understand and misunderstand!I think that he would go to Buddhism to cultivate blessings and do it with the mentality of doing business in the world, as if I paid with the heart of trading, and paid with the heart of trading.There is a lot of disrespect, so this part is too much for us to learn.For example, this part is very subtle, and it cannot be grasped well all at once. The most fundamental misunderstanding is why the mentality of the person who supports it is not correct. People who cultivate happiness, no matter who is a volunteer, donate. Money is good, because on the surface it does seem to mistakenly think that the Three Treasures need a layman, and that they need the support of their disciples in order to survive.

Some people have wrong concepts like this, and some great guardians are like this!He wants to take care of the monks. He thinks you, you don’t listen to me, or if I come to the dojo and don’t let me make a decision, I have the right to be the boss, then I won’t support it, right?The mentality of trading, oh!You can’t listen!I just take the Qiao, but the posture is very high.So now you see, at the end of the Dharma, Master is taking care of the Dharma, haha!Upside down, the master has the dignity and status of a master.Teacher!Is it a teacher?Now the teacher is fawning on the students, right?Is this respectful?A person like me is oh!I'm more... hey!How to say it?Because I didn't make a big wish to build a temple. I really want to build a temple. I might have to go to court others to protect the Dharma. Otherwise, the monks won't be a stranger, and the laymen won't come to worship!No way, be weird!Do a lot of tricks, and then say, oops!If you talk about something that makes them happy, the money will come out. There is no way. Because everyone’s causal education and the classics are not very deep, it is already very good for people to come to Buddhism to start their hearts.

Some wizards just want to be skillful and convenient anyway!He is willing to cultivate blessings, so he becomes obedient, but in this case, the blessing is cultivated to a certain point, but you have not really learned the correct way to cultivate blessings, and you have even achieved merits in the blessings, and become afraid to tell you. Truth, I dare not teach you, for fear of offending you!If you offend you, you won't come to protect you, then you will never learn, and you will never know what attitude to use to cultivate blessings, so that you can get merits and get the blessings of giving up.After your attitude is correct, you can really give up one thing in Buddhism. On the contrary, if you create karma, for example, we are usually in the world, and you take advantage of a person, then you only owe him one favor, right. wrong?But if you go to the dojo, the dojo has dojo rules, our precepts are very strict and subtle, and no one can touch the plants and trees casually..You can’t take it casually, take it if you don’t, or if you don’t talk about it, or something you cannot touch with your identity, then you take it as stealing.There are multiple crimes of this stealing. You are in the world. If you take something from someone, you owe him one, right? But if you go to Buddhism to take something and steal something, you owe countless people for the same thing. One for each person, wow!Terrible!So when we talk about Buddhism, the merits of cultivating the Tao are so great.

If you don’t give up for a million times, this is not XNUMX times, but also infinite times. You also do one thing. You help someone in the world and do charity in the world. Then the merits you get, the blessing is only one. He alone owes you, right?But you do the same thing in the Buddha, your merits and benefits are boundless, why?Because the dojo does not belong to an individual, it belongs to the ten directions, and we are now teaching it the same way!Oh!Some people do things that are not as good as the law, and we can't help it. This is personal cause and effect.The so-called Buddhist dojo is stipulated in our precepts, not our personal concept.There is no private in the dojo, and the same is true for our monks. There is no private property. This concept must be very clear, so we must be very careful everywhere in the Buddhist monastery, including the things that are used in the dojo.

Of course, if our mentality is correct, we don't need to ask for anything in return, we are here to repair our blessings, because this place belongs to the ten directions and belongs to everyone.People who are destined come here are yours, everyone has a share, but monks are the right to manage, this is taught by the Buddha, because monks must practice wholeheartedly, directly practice, and then your job is responsible for management and leadership.Oh!So the Sangha is managed by monks, but as long as everyone who is destined comes here, you are a part and your place.Then this place is a platform for sentient beings in the ten directions, each person to cultivate his own cause, so what do we need to do when we go to this dojo?You must grasp this opportunity and cultivate the correct cause for yourself, whether you want to cultivate blessings, practice, or merit.So when you go to the dojo, don't say that I'm doing things for the master, I'm doing things for the dojo, don't have this concept.Yes, the dojo belongs to each of us. It is this who has this abbot and everyone's cause and condition to jointly achieve this platform and this stage. Let us practice, let us cultivate the cause, so what do we use?A grateful heart, use this cause and condition to repair the cause for yourself.

If your attitude is correct, what you do is absolutely selfless. You will not say that you do it for a certain person, who owes you, and then you will be in power. The more I give, I will be in power.Some people protect the Fa like this. I donated a lot, and then he will get more back. I donated a hundred yuan, and some have to get back a thousand yuan.Eat a little bit, use a little bit, take a little bit every day. This loss is very big. We really have to be greedy for small and cheap. It is not so miserable to greet you in the world, right?You are greedy among the Buddhas!It's over, but some people didn't do it on purpose. That's not understanding, habit!He wants to say that I have already donated, but I don't owe it!He also doesn't have the heart of stealing, or the heart of taking advantage, but anyway, I can use it after donating it, and the dojo is free, so it seems to be used for granted.This means that you don’t understand the precepts and you don’t learn, then you will not only cultivate without blessings, but pay for it if you don’t have enough karma..Oh!The same is true when you protect the Three Jewels. The Sangha, the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha are one body. How do you respect and make offerings to the monks? Some people often have the attitude of disrespect to make offerings to the mage, because the Buddha does not live in the world and the Dharma depends on the monk. Pass it!Therefore, the master represents the Buddha, the law and the monk. If you are disrespectful to the master, it means that you are disrespectful to the Buddha. Then how do you provide for the master?
