(XNUMX) The key to faith in rebirth depends entirely on the power of Buddha (the master of drafting has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Buddhas and bodhisattvas change various identities in order to skillfully attract different sentient beings. In fact, they are all one!It's not that complicated. Is it so clear? Then we must be able to smoothly rebirth to the world of bliss in the future. It is not because we recite this Buddha sign to the point of not being born. This fellow practitioner should all know it!Are you sure when you are going to die? If you are sure, please raise your hands and ask again, ah? Those fans from my past? Why are my colleagues missing? I remember that we used to have almost everyone raised their hands, right? ?You are embarrassed to raise your hands now. Once again, some people will dare to raise their hands. Don't be shy.This is not, this is nothing, it's not our arrogance, it's not, because it depends on the power of Buddha!It's not on our own strength!

I'll ask again one last time, don't be polite, just tell the truth!Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are here!Please raise your hand if you are sure of your death, more and more, but still far below the previous level.Why are you.... It used to be fake, right? Hahaha, it must be fake, because of our method!You are truly confident that it is impossible to retreat, and it is impossible to retreat. This faith will not retreat.It will only grow but not retreat.If you retreat, it means you are suspicious, and your heart is not true!I didn't really believe it, so I became suspicious again.You really believe. There are two types of belief. One is that the truth is understood, the other is that the heart is touched. There was a moment when you felt warm in your heart, felt the existence of Amitabha Buddha, had no doubt about the Western Pure Land, and believed in your own wishes. The motivation to survive is very firm.When this predestined condition is sufficient, you can really say that you have established the confidence to pass away.You cannot retire afterwards.Confidence will only grow in thoughts.So if there is no such phenomenon, it means that you used to be false and you were cheering with me.But it seems to be a long time? I feel like I haven't asked you this question for a long time. I remember that many fellow practitioners raised their hands before, or those people have passed away, and you are all newcomers, and most of them are newcomers. Yes, because I also saw a few old fellow practitioners who knew each other. It seemed that I had to work hard again and focus on education.Fortunately, we have arranged a two-day course this time. We can explain this truth more comprehensively, so this time we will talk about the whole sutra.

Do you have a scripture of the Amitabha Sutra?Hurry up and post it.Yes!We have it here!Yes? There should be!There should be everything here, right? The blessing here is so great. Look at the thousands of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas!Thousands!There should be all kinds of classics!Send it down.We have finished speaking the entire sutra in these two days, so that you can truly have a comprehensive understanding of this sutra, and really put it in your heart instead of reciting it from your mouth. "Buddha Says Amitabha Sutra" is enough, the textbook Yes you can!The scriptures are enough. You can see how important the "Amitabha Sutra" is. People from all sects of the Patriarch's Great Virtue will class in the morning and evening. There are other classics in the morning and evening classes. The "Amitabha Sutra" can be seen. In the end, you still have to accept this "Amitabha Sutra" to survive in the Western Paradise.

Why don't you go to the east to survive? What about survival... Everyone knows from this scripture that all the Buddhas in the ten directions recruit students for Amitabha, and they all persuade us to go to the West!When the oriental pharmacist comes there, you can read it and you will know after reading the Pharmacist Sutra. He also wants you to survive in the Western Paradise. He also sent the Eight Bodhisattvas to pick you up!Escort you there!Every Buddha!We all hope that we will go to the Western Paradise.

Normally, it doesn’t matter what method you practice. Everyone has different causes!But why do the Buddhas of the ten directions advise us to go to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss? Because the Paradise of Paradise is the Buddha nature of each of us, the self-nature of each of us, the so-called self-nature Amitabha, the pure land of ideals.The world of bliss, the purity of the Western bliss, is also our pure heart, and it is also the manifestation of our pure heart.But it is not our pure heart, it is Amitabha who first appeared and gave it to us.We don't have a pure heart, but we have, and we have lost it. "One thought of ignorance produces three details, and the realm is predestined to grow and six thick." This sentence is too deep, and I don't explain it now, just say it once.We already have Buddha-nature, but after we have desires and delusions, we lose the role of Buddha-nature.So no matter how we get lost, no matter how we pursue, pursue other methods, or pursue all kinds of things in the world, we still have to look back in the end.Where are we going back? Our own nature!This is our own home, our hometown.Everyone has the Buddha-nature in his own heart, so why is Amitabha Buddha called the king of the Buddha, because he is our self-nature, and all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are the incarnations of the self-nature, just like our Buddha Shakyamuni. Ten billion incarnations, right? He can incarnate many Buddhas and many Bodhisattvas in hundreds of billions to save sentient beings.So regardless of our usual conditions, what kind of method we practice? In particular, our fellow practitioners need to be strong enough, because the blessings are so great, and there are all kinds of methods, whatever you choose.You can do whatever you like to be held.Therefore, we have to be very capable, on the one hand, we must be able to master XNUMX martial arts.Multiple connections are good, but on the one hand, you must be able to deepen your major and be very clear.And in the end, I have to return to (the fellow initiates to ask questions), I don’t understand!what!It's terrible, ah!You asked me to speak Taiwanese, even told me to speak Taiwanese!This makes my head hurt. I just talked about it for a while, but you all didn't understand it!So I will join in the talk!Otherwise, I can't tell you this. (Response by fellow initiates)

It seems that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I can understand what I have forgotten.I remember you still understand Chinese!But because my Taiwanese and Hokkien are not well spoken, sometimes you don’t understand what I say.Does that understand? Yes?Which one is clearer? Both are clearer? So powerful? (Audience laughs) This is more convenient, and both are involved.Oh!If you want to talk about the scriptures, how do you talk about it? "The Buddha Says Amitabha Sutra" may be better for you than me.Okay, so I’ll do a little training today, huh... speak Taiwanese, right!In some places, because we are Taiwan, there are many old Bodhisattvas in Taiwan who need to listen to Taiwanese.This is also needed.I rarely record the Taiwanese disc for them to learn, and now I want to add and subtract it.Take this opportunity, well, we try our best to speak Taiwanese, but I speak Taiwanese with a different accent, which is different from yours, right? This way, I still understand it!As soon as you hear it, you know that you are not very fluent.It doesn't matter!Listen slowly.

In this way, death, I have not yet..., or I asked just now, no one raised your hand because you don't understand.If you are sure of your death, please raise your hand and say it again.Why is it getting less and less? Ha ha ha..., scared!Whoops!you're welcome!You have forgotten that if you raise your hands, Amitabha is very happy.He would never say: "Ah! You can't be humble" like that.I don't know how to speak modest Taiwanese, so you can translate it yourself. "Why are you so rude, saying that you have a way to die", it is not like this, we say that there is no way to die, on the contrary, if we have no confidence, we disrespect Amitabha, do you know? Do you know? It is unconditional for Buddha Amitabha to save us. We are afraid that we don’t believe it and don’t have confidence. Doesn’t it mean, oh!Amitabha, how can you be so powerful? I have no confidence at all.Have no confidence in the Buddha!If we are unable to die with confidence, it means that we have no faith in the Buddha!Is it disrespectful?

(XNUMX) Master Shandao said as a way of achieving life (this master has not yet finalized the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!) 

Our good guide master!It is Amitabha Buddha who will come again, the ancestor and second ancestor of our Pure Land Sect.He told us that we have to think and think, how to say it?How to turn?Can't translate, and think about it, so that we are supposed to think that we can die.Think of it this way, we cannot say "I can't die", "I have such a heavy karma, how can I die?" You think that you say "I can't die" every day, so you really can't die, how do you say? The "Huayan Sutra" tells us that "all things are created by the mind", right? "All the laws were created by the mind", it could have been reborn in the first place!Amitabha has a wish!If we want to go, He will pick it up. It's such a simple thing, but in our hearts, we keep saying that I can't, I can't, and I can't. Then you remember it, and what we want will come true!Right? Ten thousand dharmas are created by the mind. The power of our sentient beings is great, great!

Buddha Yun is incredible, and the karma of sentient beings is incredible!If our mind doesn't accept the Buddha and Bodhisattva's salvation with us, and just keep thinking about me, there will be no way, I can't help it, it will really come up with you.Do you understand this?So we must not always think that we can't die, even if you still can't really have confidence to live, at least you can't say that you have no confidence!Right? You have no confidence, and you have no reason to say that you are sure you have no confidence!How can you guarantee that you can't die, right?It's all your own thoughts too!And let me tell you, the scripture tells us that the "Sutra of Immeasurable Life" tells us.Five evils and ten evils can die, five evils and ten evils!Five evils and ten evils, oh!It's so difficult to translate!I think we need our guardian to do a Taiwanese translation. It’s more accurate.Are we that bad?Nothing!Killing the father, the mother, the Arahant, the blood of the Buddha, and the saint.Are we that bad?We didn't kill the father and the mother either?right?There is no sinful karma of creating five evils and ten evils!Not that evil.Such evil people can die, why can't we go?What do we have at least in the past to cultivate? Five precepts, we can be a human being!

It’s very comfortable to sit in this chair today!Can be shaken around. (Everyone laughs).Will I look ugly like this?Shake it around!It seems very unreliable, but it naturally shakes up, which is more comfortable.The first time I sit in a rocking chair, where do I talk about it?So if we had the root of cultivating this kind of good in the past lives, only then can we be humans in this life!Let's not always think that we have created karma in this life, and that we have done so much. It is true that we have been creating karma, but we also have good roots!Once or twice kind-hearted compassion will arise too!

Respectful excerpts from disciple Shuyuan

(XNUMX) The patriarch of the Buddha admires the chanting of the Buddha (this is not the master of the draft, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Especially the lotus friends we came here to practice together, this kind of predestined is so good, you can respond, come here will be happy, indicating that you and Buddhism are very predestined.We Buddhism, Buddhism people, and those who are willing to practice and learn Buddhism are very kind, but we all still have that habit. When we haven't learned it deeply, we all have habits and problems!We have this mind, we have this mind to practice, which means that we have this kind thought, plus we are Buddhists, not cultivating other things.For cultivating other things, the Buddha did not particularly admire, but only encouraged you to practice.In the "Blessed Life Sutra", the Blessed One admires the Fentoli flower among people. What does it mean? A flower that blooms only once in three thousand years. Such a beautiful flower describes our Buddhist chanters. The Buddhist chanters are so rare and so solemn. , So extraordinary.

So what did our master of good guidance tell us? Buddhism chanting people are the masters among the people, the wonderful people among the people, the best people among the people, and the best people are right.Better than whom? I don’t know who is the biggest official in Indonesia. I don’t know what the official rank is. Some of the rich and respectable elders are even better. We are better than them!We Buddhists are better than them!What a president!Prime Minister!We don’t know if there is a prime minister in Indonesia? Or we say that the man praised by ordinary people is very virtuous. Even if he is very virtuous, he is still not as good as our Buddhist cultivators.Master Shandao said that people are superior!They didn't talk about this casually, they wouldn't just joking with us, right? He wants to recite cause and effect, and the Blessed One would not lie to us.There are people who recite Buddhism, but there are no other skills. Why? If we practice other skills, we will cultivate on our own. We haven't completed our cultivation and haven't achieved the results yet, so we are ordinary people.But we chanting Buddhas do not rely on our own cultivation, but on sensing the merits of Amitabha.

Once we recite the Buddha, when we recite the Buddha honestly, if we do not doubt and recite with joy at the moment when we recite the Buddha, then we will become one with Amitabha.The merits of Amitabha Buddha are our merits. Of course, we are masters, masters, more than ordinary people, because we have the merits of the Buddha, of course the Buddha is the master of humanity, do you understand this? So what is it like to say that the person who recites the Buddha? To put it bluntly, we are very lucky and very lucky. It is not on our own. How can we have a way? Karma is so heavy, how can there be a way to be a master, because there is Amitabha as a backer for us, and his merit sticks to us. Being given to us together is also mixed with our karma. After our karma is covered by his light merits, the karma is gone, then what we have left is the merits of Amitabha, so we can be a master.If we rely on other things, the luckiest practice is to rely on ourselves to cultivate slowly!Regardless of Zen!Tantra!Everything is good, we rely on ourselves to cultivate slowly, but here is the difference.Of course, other methods are also very good. We have causes and conditions, and we all have benefits according to our individual roots and conditions.

To cut off evil and cultivate good, to keep the precepts and to recite the Buddha, to keep the precepts, especially to keep the precepts, all sects have to cultivate, these precepts, the five precepts, we are the most basic of life!Your five precepts are not killing, stealing, licentious, nonsense, or drinking. This is what Confucianism says about benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and faith!If you didn't do it and didn't hold these five precepts, would you still be considered a human being? It seems to be quite heavy? Are you a human? Not a human, you fail.Look!If you don’t kill or steal, then if you kill or kill, are you still considered a person? Adultery, adultery, people generally say that animals are inferior to animals, are they? Isn’t it? Not a person, and it hasn’t reached the standard of a person. what!

The standard of human beings. Our standard of being a human being is to follow the five precepts at the most basic level. These are all that we must learn no matter what religion we practice.Whatever you hold, keep improving!Because we are still ordinary people!It can’t be said that I’m not good at holding it, then don’t hold it like this, so that we will never improve.The precepts are the most basic, and the others are not required.

(XNUMX) Follow the text and experience the realm of the world of bliss (this master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

We can follow the text to observe, which means that when we are chanting this sutra, we must be able to immediately experience the environment.So I said the way I want to teach you this sutra this time is that I want to guide you, like what?Just like that hypnotist, you will hypnotize you from now on.Don't fall asleep!You can't go when you fall asleep, what about hypnosis?You relax, you relax now. When we are going to learn this sutra next, we have to visualize. There is dignity and solemnity in the visualization. When introducing those environments, we have to visualize. We have entered the world of bliss. We are playing in Elysium, shall we go to Elysium to play?Shall we go play now?That's right!We are going to learn this sutra in this way, instead of reciting it with our mouths, it will be boring!I didn't even play it, I didn't feel it.So, oh, we have to use this mood to learn. After learning this time, after taking you into this state, you will be chanting in this way in the future, so that it is interesting.Do you understand this?Teach you how to recite this sutra, how to hold this sutra.This sutra is so simple, but many people don't feel it, and it's not interesting like this.It's because of being submerged in this state.Okay, so we now start to read a passage of scripture, and we can read it together.If I stop you, stop, anyway, if we recite this sutra, we are equivalent to reading this sutra, and after we have finished speaking, we have already recited one.

"That’s what I heard. For a time the Buddha was in the Savatya, and only the tree was given to the solitary garden. Together with the Great Bhikkhu, there are two hundred and fifty people, all of whom are great.
Arhat, the knowledge of all: the elder Sariputra, the Maha Mugulian, the Mahakaya, the Mahakayayan, the Mahakura, the Lipodha, the Zhouli Pandaga, the Nanda, Ananda, and the Rahola , Han Fanboti, Binto Lupoluo, Kalyutayi, Mahabina Binna, Bokuluo, Analoutuo, and so on, such as the great disciples.And other Bodhisattvas Mahasattvas: Prince Manjushri Lifa, Ayiduo Bodhisattva, Qiantuo Heti Bodhisattva, Changjingjin Bodhisattva, and other great Bodhisattvas like this.And Shi Ti Huan Yin and so on, the immeasurable heavens and the masses. "Okay, we will stop here.Okay, after a paragraph, do you want to explain it? I want to read it faster, and I want to read it faster, because we don't have enough time.

We will finish the two sessions today and tomorrow, so we can't read it too slowly.Okay, we now, we usually recite sutras. We have read this passage without paying attention, right? We have to visualize now, here, the Blessed One, Buddha Shakyamuni, was talking about this "Amitabha Sutra" at the time. At that time, there were many arahants, bodhisattvas, and celestial people. We need to know that in that situation, we visualize that we are there now, and you are all big bodhisattvas, arhats, and begin to visualize and enter the state like this.In this way, the classics will not be the classics, we are us.We are the people who have become there now, we have arrived at that Fa conference, and we are also a part of it.So understand!This visualization is very simple, right?We are not at the Pekan Three Treasures Buddhism Center now. We are now in the Puja of Sravasti. Is this okay?To visualize in this way, if we are reciting this sutra, we are also going to do this very simple. It is relatively simple here, so it is good for us to talk like this first.

Let's continue to read the scriptures, "At that time, the Buddha told the elder Sariputra: "From the West, there are more than ten trillion Buddhas in the world. There is a world name called bliss, and there is a Buddha in the land, called Amitabha. Now it is said."> Good, Read this short paragraph first, just read these first, because this paragraph is very important.At this time, the Blessed One talked to the elder Sariputra, to Sariputra, and asked him to tell us, tell each of us here, what should he talk about?Speaking from the West, there are ten trillion Buddha kingdoms from the West. Where is this?There is a Buddhist kingdom called the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. "There is a Buddha in its land, called Amitabha." There is also a Buddha called Amitabha.If we are people with enough good roots and want to say that I have not yet graduated, if you listen to this sentence, you will graduate.Very simple.

"There is a world name called bliss, and there is a Buddha in its land, called Amitabha. This is now and now." Some people have been reciting the Buddha for a lifetime, and they don't believe in the world of bliss or Amitabha, right?Have you ever met such a person?There must have been.In particular, some of us spread to the south, some of us did not believe in our Mahayana Buddhism, but only believed in Shakyamuni Buddha.What now?Many Nan Chuan masters are more acceptable. If it is the previous one, some do not believe it at all, so it is not that simple to believe!Don't say that we don't believe it, people who have cultivated very well don't believe it. If we can believe in this unbelievable method, we are the people with many virtues and many virtues as mentioned in the Amitabha Sutra.People with good roots.

(XNUMX) There is only true happiness in the world of bliss (the master of drafting has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

We continue to talk about it, or we won't finish it. "Sariputra, why is this land called bliss? All beings in the country have no sufferings, but they receive all happiness, hence the name bliss." Come here.The Blessed One also said, why this place is called bliss, because the sentient beings of the kingdom, the sentient beings of the bliss world, do not have all suffering, but are subject to all happiness.The sentient beings in the bliss world have only happiness without any pain.And all beings in our world have only pain without any happiness.right?Yeah!really!Or some younger brothers and younger sisters: "No! I am still very happy here! I am healthy now, and then I want to make a boyfriend and a girlfriend." Haha, I still can't feel it.

When eating abalone and shark fin, it is delicious!I feel very happy, right?If we eat something we love.Oh!There are delicious enough to go to a very beautiful place to play, but also have fun, very happy.Have it?Yes!That's all called being cheated by yourself.The Blessed One told us that there is no happiness in this world, only suffering but no happiness.Are you weird?I obviously enjoy eating and playing very happily. How do you say that I am unhappy?Because this kind of happiness will go bad, it will change.It seems to be happy, but temporarily gives you a feeling, an illusion!An illusion seems to be really happy.

Why do we feel happy when we eat this thing, because we are hungry. If you eat today when your stomach is full, do you think you can eat it?You can't eat the delicacies of the mountains and the sea.I have this kind of experience, more than two thousand steaks per order!Amitabha!I have eaten meat before. When I was young, I was a vegetarian in my early twenties, but I also ate meat before.Young and beautiful at that time!Boys want to invite me!Go to a good restaurant to eat!High-end restaurant!Steak is XNUMX yuan, XNUMX yuan, Indonesian currency I have counted, Indonesian currency is the most difficult to calculate, and it can be millions of dollars.I don’t know how much is XNUMX yuan?Two thousand Taiwan dollars, I'm talking about Taiwan dollars!How much is the Singapore dollar?what?Eighty, eighty, or one hundred banknotes.A piece of steak!It was really delivered. I drank the appetizer, bread, and soup and couldn't eat it anymore.The boss was taken aback and came out quickly.He was afraid that I would smash his sign, because the traditional British steakhouse suddenly didn't eat a bite. Isn't it because my food is bad?Come out and say something is wrong?Give you a free one, like this.I said, "No! I really can't eat it anymore." At that time, they were all too good to eat, and they were tired of eating, and they were tired of eating. This is a long story!At that time, it was a good life to be young.So why do you feel happy when you eat?Because we are hungry.Hunger is also a kind of disease. When you eat when you are sick, you are healing. That kind of people call it happiness. That's it!

What to eat at night in Buddhism is called medicine stone, why is it called medicine stone?When you are taking medicine, or you eat when you are full, you will feel that the delicacies of mountains and seas will not taste good.So I say that happiness is fake but not true.This will become bad.All the happiness in our world is called bad suffering.There is this noun, there is this Buddhist noun!You said to play, no matter how beautiful you play, you will get tired of going to a few more times, right?You don't want to go, it's nothing.No matter how beautiful the wife is, how handsome the husband is, it's the same after a long time, ha ha ha, just change another one.Will eat it secretly!right?Only when I get tired, I go out to find other items and find others.It will change, not true.All happiness in this world is fake.So we must go to the blissful world. The blissful world has only happiness without any suffering.

(XNUMX) The Elysium is solemn and solemn (The master of drafting has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, and the merits are boundless!)

Continue to look, "Sariputra again. The land of bliss, the seven-fold fence, the seven-fold net, and the seven-fold tree are all surrounded by four treasures, so the country is called bliss. And the sariputra. The kingdom of bliss has seven pools, eight The water of merit is filled with it, and the bottom of the pool is purely covered with golden sand. The four-sided steps are made of gold, silver, glaze, and glass. There are pavilions on the top, and they are also decorated with gold, silver, glaze, glass, clams, red beads, and agate. It is. The lotus in the pool is as big as a wheel, cyan light, yellow light, red light, white light, delicate fragrance and clean. Sariputra. The land of bliss, the achievement is such a solemn merit." Oh!I can't read this Taiwanese, this classical Chinese.You understand this realm first. When we chant sutras, we also recite Chinese, not Taiwanese!It’s good for us to understand this realm first. When we are chanting, we know where to chant? What is the content? This content must be very clear.Don't just chant the past like this, so you won't be happy if you don't have merit.Will not be happy, so you will be very tired if you practice together.It is very sad to practice in this way.Might as well go back to sleep.Right? Our practice is to rejoice, and we must know how to be happy when we cultivate.

This paragraph tells us that in the Paradise of Elysium, the environment is very beautiful, there are so-called trees that you see, and there are still various constructions.There are also swimming pools, swimming pools!Eight merits water!Qibaochi Eight Merit Water is like a swimming pool. There are many large and small swimming pools in the Paradise of Elysium!very beautiful.What are they all?It's all diamonds and jewels!These Qibaos are made.Like this glittering gold, it looks like it wants gold and silver. Whatever you want, you have what you want.

The swimming pools in our world are stone or tile, and they are not hygienic.If it is not disinfected after a week, your eyes will become red if you swim.right?So I didn't dare to go, and I couldn't learn swimming well.Once you go, you will get inflammation, and you will get inflammation once you go.Elysium will not!Not only good, Qibao is solemn, what else?The eight merits water is in it. If we swim and take a bath in it, it will be so comfortable!We have to visualize that the environment inside is very good.Some people say that I don’t know how to swim, and I don’t like swimming, so I won’t feel superior.It doesn't matter, we just imagine ourselves, we can visualize our favorite, our favorite decoration and environment.Because of Elysium, what do we think about it? For example, the palace built inside is very beautiful.If you don’t love palaces, you can build a bungalow villa!We visualize ourselves, what you want is what you want.If children like to play electric toys, there are also electric toys inside.Do you think about it yourself!It appears immediately.If you want karaoke, you can also have karaoke.Of course if you really get there, you won't want to become karaoke, it's too noisy.You just visualize it yourself.Just to say what are we thinking? The most beautiful things, we have all we want, and our wishes come true.Then, all kinds of lotus in "the lotus in the pond is as big as a wheel", there are large and small in the eight merit water of Qibao Pond, very solemn.So if we are chanting this paragraph, we have to visualize like this and follow the text into the insight.No matter what you want to build in the future, what kind of living environment you want to realize after you die, let's talk about it then.When we recite this paragraph now, we will follow the scriptures to enter this scene.Visualize it.We think about the most beautiful look.

"Sariputra again. The land of the Buddha is always heavenly music. Gold is the earth. At six o'clock in the day and night, the mandala is rainy. The sentient beings in the land often live in the Qing Dynasty, and each of them is clothed in clothes to prosper all the wonderful flowers, and provide for others ten trillion Buddhas. , That is, when you eat, you return to your home country and go through the meal. Sariputra. The land of bliss, the achievement is such a magnificent virtue." This paragraph is also very good, wow!Bravo!Now, think about this passage. What is your mood when you are reciting the "Amitabha Sutra" or other sutras, and what is your mood? Isn't it possible to finish chanting quickly and you will have the merits of a sutra, right? In this way, the merits of a sutra go back and forth to which kinship and creditor.Oh!This is all very utilitarian. It is all from the perspective of interest, right? How can I enjoy it!Tired to death!Hurry up, one, ten, one hundred, hurry up, and recite a little more merit, right? It’s tiring.Is it so tiring to recite?It seems to be working.I didn't even enjoy it.

We are chanting, we are all the content of each paragraph, we have to see it clearly, if we want to imagine with the text into the view, we go and enjoy, the realm of writing in the scriptures is very solemn, except for the "Ksitigarbha" Say hell.The text in the scriptures is still solemn, and the rooms are very solemn, which our world doesn't have!So we go to enjoy that realm.
Look, in the world of bliss, "Always make heaven and happiness. Gold is the earth. At six o'clock in the day and night, rainy day mandala." Look, what do you always have all day? There is heaven and happiness!Wonderful music, the best music to listen to. It will make you very happy to hear it. The underground is made of gold. Have you seen this kind of floor? Taiwan has it!I have seen a room like this one. There is a Buddha, a big Buddha, outside of a room like this one. It is in Puli, and the big Buddha is several stories high in Puli.There is a large hall in the center, and the ground is covered with gold from the homes of believers. It is really gold for the ground!Everyone is very religious, but it costs a lot of money. Gold is very expensive in this world, and it is everywhere in the world of bliss.

We imagine, the land of bliss!We all think that it is an asphalt road, a stone road, and Elysium is all gold.It’s soft and comfortable when you step on it.Then, in the middle of two or six o'clock, the mandala flowers and fresh flowers were still floating in the sky all day long.It was very soft and soft, and it was the kind of realm that I felt very enjoyable just thinking about it.Is that kind of environment, is there? That kind of smell is very fragrant, there is a smell, and then the ground is so clean, the gold is shining, and there is music to listen to. Where can I find this kind of environment? No!Only in the world of bliss, what then? How to live there when you die? Go to the Buddha before eating in the morning.We have supernatural powers, and we can go to the land of ten thousand billion Buddhas to make offerings to the Buddha immediately before fasting there.

We said that it is very difficult to make offerings to a Buddha. The deity cannot make offerings. You have to make offerings to the Buddha, and the Buddha statues have to go to the monastery too!In the small Buddhist hall of the people in your own home, it is basically impossible for you to make offerings to the deity, unless you have deep concentration and make offerings to the Buddha in concentration.There, we all had supernatural powers, so we went to the land of ten trillion Buddhas to make offerings before the morning fast.Then when I was eating, it was time for the morning fast to eat, and I was back. After offering the Buddha offerings, I would return to my homeland of Bliss to eat!After dinner, take a walk, you see how leisurely!

Who we are now!Maybe you haven’t eaten enough, and you rushed out to go to work with the bread in your hands, right? Some people have less money, people who have a harder life, wow!So nervous to wake up early in the morning!Sometimes I forget to go to the toilet!Hurry up and hurried to go to work in a hurry, ruining the stomach and intestines.Right? Living like this every day, Elysium is not it!It's leisurely every day.After offering to the Buddha to come back to eat and take a walk, there is no need to rush to earn money to go to work. Is this good? Is this kind of life good? (Good), good!Okay, shall we go right now?Do you want? Ha? Why there is no sound? No, my family has not spent money yet, and I still have a lover. I think you can’t let it go. This is what I fear most, and that’s what I’m most surprised.If you can't let it go, you can't go, and Amitabha can't pull you there either!

(XNUMX) The various subtle sounds of Elysium (The master of the draft has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, and the merits are boundless!)

Well, look at the following paragraph again. Sariputra repeatedly: "There are often all kinds of wonderful and variegated birds in that country: white cranes, peacocks, parrots, relics, Kalingpinga, and birds of life. It is the birds, at six o'clock in the day and night, He Yayin. The sound plays the five senses, the five powers, the seven bodhi points, and the eight sage points, and so on. The sentient beings of the earth, when they hear the sound, all learn about the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sāriputra. Don’t call this bird, it’s actually born of sin, so what? There are no three evil ways in the Buddha's land. Sariputra. The Buddha's land, there is no evil way, let alone the truth. It is all the birds, all. It is Amitabha, who wants to make the sound of the dharma flow and change what he does." This paragraph.

What does this paragraph mean? If we go to the Paradise of Elysium, if Amitabha Buddha wants to give us a lecture, it is not like sitting here. Everyone who is sitting here dares not move. It is more serious if we don’t dare to move, right? Go to the Paradise of Elysium. Go!Even the listening method is very leisurely, and these birds have changed a lot!Then wait a minute, there is still a palace!Tree!Gong will talk about it later, all will be explained to us, all will be explained to us.So it is impossible for us not to be enlightened.It is impossible to go there without being enlightened, and it is very difficult to not be enlightened.You can't help it if you don't want to be enlightened.Because the flowers, trees, and the birds are telling us at any time, which makes us listen very happy. We can imagine it now.

Wow!We are now in the Paradise of Elysium, and we are very leisurely. We have eaten the morning fast and have a walk. Then there are a lot of special birds next to us, such as white cranes, peacocks, parrots, Jialings, and Pingyas. It’s not like we are among them. Oh!He must have made it very beautiful, the Qibao gleaming, making you happy to see it, have you imagined it? Have you started to imagine it? You don't need to be smaller than yours and mine is bigger, you are just happy.We have to imagine, this is to follow the text into the view.Imagine it, it seems that you can see what you want and go deep into the realm. We are now in the world of bliss. After seeing this passage, we will understand this passage.The more I think about it!Now, if you recite it once or twice, to a hundred or two hundred, the realm is different again.Your thoughts will become deeper and deeper, as if it is true, will you enjoy it? After you recite this sutra, you will be very happy.After reciting a sutra, all your worries are gone.Because I have already gone to Elysium.That trouble, the karma will be eliminated, and you will have to be able to recite sutras.

We continue to talk about it, otherwise we will not have time. "Sariputra. In the land of the Buddha, the breeze blows the trees and the treasure nets, and produces subtle sounds, such as hundreds of thousands of music, all at the same time. Those who hear the sound naturally have the heart to recite the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. Sariputra. Its Buddha's land is so majestic and majestic." This paragraph tells us that this breeze blows, the trees of the treasures and the Baoluo make subtle sounds, and the sound of the wind is blowing!Blow to this tree, flowers and trees, oh!It's like beautiful music, all made at the same time, we only have to hear the sound of this wind to become enlightened again.Naturally, the heart of chanting Buddha and Dharma is born.Let us slowly realize and imagine this by ourselves.

Are there any wind disasters in Indonesia these days? In East Malaysia, the wind blows like a typhoon in the morning and it rains heavily.The windows were almost broken when the wind blew, and the windows were about to break.too horrible!Fortunately, there is Buddhist chanting. It seems to be different from the wind and rain in Taiwan. It sounds very loud, as if it is very strong.We foreigners!I'm not used to it.Oh!too horrible!Fortunately, if you let it go, you will not be afraid of chanting.In the Paradise of Elysium, it is telling us that even the breeze blows, we are very comfortable when the wind blows down, enjoy it, and imagine it by yourself.Okay, keep watching.

(XNUMX) Amitabha's brilliance and blessings are all over the ten countries (this master has not yet set the school, if there are typos, please report the error, the merits are boundless!)

"Sariputra. What does it mean to you? Sariputra? Why is that Buddha called Amitabha? Sariputra. That Buddha is bright and immeasurable, according to the ten kingdoms, without obstacles, is called Amitabha. And Sariputra. The life of the Buddha, and its people , Boundless and Boundless A Seng Xu Jie, hence the name Amitabha.” Why? Why? His name originally meant immeasurable blessing.How is it? Amitabha's name should be called this name? Should it be called Amitabha? Because Amitabha's light is boundless to reflect the ten kingdoms, without obstacles, because Amitabha has his merits, and his light is boundless, and this light is The merits that represent wisdom can be reflected in ten directions.So Amitabha Buddha, only the Amitabha Buddha can save sentient beings in the ten directions. The ten directions represent all sentient beings. He has a way to save them, because this passage tells us, "According to the ten directions", " The Buddha is immeasurably bright. According to the ten directions, there are no obstacles. It is called Amitabha." He has this ability.There is also his "the Buddha's life span, and his people are boundless, hence the name Amitabha." His life span is also immeasurable. Brightness represents wisdom, and life span represents blessings.The light and blessings of Amitabha Buddha, his wisdom and blessings are infinite, and they are everywhere.

In this world of ten directions, all sentient beings, as long as we are willing to recite his name, can receive the bright wisdom of Amitabha Buddha. This merit has his blessings. Therefore, if we are poorer people, we are not blessed. For those who repay, we must recite the Buddha, and reciting the Buddha will be blessed.You recite the Buddha honestly. His name itself means boundless blessings. He has this boundless merit, and his life span represents blessings, with boundless wisdom and boundless blessings in it.If we read, the more we read, the more blessed we will be.Then where do you say the blessings will come from? Invisible you will be Consummation.For example, if someone else can't make money, we will make money. Of course, we also have to go to work, but if others do it to the point of death, we can easily do it and we will earn it.This is the blessing of the merits of our chanting of Buddha. In this name, there is wisdom and blessings. Know this?

It's not that chanting Buddhism just waits for death.We can get wisdom before our eyes, but what else can we eliminate? Eliminate the debts that are collected by the family members.Amitabha can pay it back for us and resolve it with us.If he wants to pay back the money, he will give him the money.You don't have to go home and ask your parents for it, you can't get it.What if he wants? If he wants this life, revenge, he will resolve it for him.I tried to persuade him to make him feel soft, so he wouldn't seek revenge from us, that's how it happened.So we have to recite Amitabha, and it's the right thing to look for him for everything.If you are sick, look for the Medicine Buddha, or Amitabha? Look for Amitabha as well.When I say this, will Medicine Buddha be angry? No!Pharmacist Buddha is Amitabha, how can he be angry? We can have several names alone, right? Like each of us, the school has this student name, like we have refuge, if you take refuge in many places, many names.You have several names, you are the same person.Do we look at the way we practice? Which Buddha you are more familiar with, you can recite him often.Amitabha is the great doctor king. This is what it says in the Praise to the Buddha. If we are sick, we can also look for him. We don't have to die before we can look for him.

(XNUMX) Only believe in the Buddhist language and recite the Buddha honestly (this master has not yet finalized the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Let's look at the section "Sariputra again. In the land of bliss, all living beings are all A Yin's postscripts. Many of them have a life to make up for them. There are many of them. It is not what can be known by arithmetic, but it can be said by A Sengyou. Sariputra. All beings who hear about it should make a vow and wish to be born in the other kingdom. So what? You have to be with such good people.” It’s introduced here that those who have passed away are all great bodhisattvas. This passage proves to us that we If we go there, we will no longer be ordinary people, we will immediately become big bodhisattvas, what kind of bodhisattvas? Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, this kind of realm!

The life-long supplement is the Bodhisattva of Waiting for Enlightenment, Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, and Bodhisattva of Great Momentum. These are all Bodhisattvas of Waiting for Enlightenment.Samantabhadra, who else?Manjushri Bodhisattva, all of them are waiting for enlightenment Bodhisattvas, which is the "lifetime replenishment" mentioned here, "all are Ayan Bazhi, and many of them have lifetime replenishment." What is Ayan Bazhi?If you don’t retreat, if you have attained the three non-returns, then they are all big bodhisattvas!Above seven places and eight places, at a very high realm, if we go there as soon as we are reborn, that's it, immediately like Guanshiyin Bodhisattva.It's incredible!Are we going to be bodhisattvas or ordinary people?correct! (Audience: Everyone has to be a Bodhisattva) Oh!This old Bodhisattva is very clever, so you are welcome, I just want to be a Bodhisattva.And to be a big bodhisattva, not a soil louse! (Audience laughs) We can only be soil lice in this world, that is to be slaughtered!If we were to die, we would be a real great bodhisattva, like Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, with a thousand hands and thousand eyes. We can go to the world of ten directions to save our parents, sons, and lovers in past lives. You can save your husband or wife. he.Once we have passed away in this life, we can go immediately and become this great bodhisattva immediately.Just look as good as you can.If we cultivate on our own, how can we do it?It will be very difficult and dangerous not to fall into the three evil ways in the next life.This is the help of Amitabha!When we encounter this 縁, we must tighten it, and we must never let it go. Such a good opportunity and unconditional. Just as soon as we die, we will be a big bodhisattva. Where are we going to find it!I can't find it. None of the ten Buddhas made this vow. Only Amitabha Buddha made this vow.

Pharmacist Buddha made a vow of medicine to save suffering!Is your son sick?Poverty!After all the twelve great wishes, he has his wish and his fate.He was also realized by Buddha Amitabha and used this method to help such sentient beings.The most remarkable thing is that Amitabha's wish to receive is the most outstanding, because if we die, we will soon become a Buddha, is it the greatest benefit?right?He doesn't need to give them one by one, just give us gifts!We have all of ourselves, wisdom!Good luck!It means that we are going to be a Buddha soon, waiting to realize the Bodhisattva!The Big Bodhisattva is like Guanyin Bodhisattva.So this passage is to tell us, the ones in front here are introductions to the environment, and here is to tell us how extraordinary it is to die, and our own realm has become so high.

"Sariputra. It is not possible to live in the other country without being rooted in merits and conditions." How can we die?It is not possible to have good roots and merits. If the person who dies does not have good roots, the blessings are not enough, so you can't die.Who has no good roots?That is to say, we don't really make a wish, don't believe in the kind roots of people like the Paradise, very thin, very few, less kind roots, merit, and little merit, so there is no way to go.Some people explained to him all day long and couldn't believe it. This is the root of Shao Shan.If you tell him, oh!Really, so beautiful!Okay!Otherwise, let's go there.Go there to survive in the next life.He was convinced, he would not doubt, why would he not doubt, why would he not doubt?Of course what the Buddha said is true, so there is no doubt.This kind of person is Duo Shan Gen Du Fu.

Would you doubt what the Buddha said, would you?can you?No way!It’s not like some people get a Ph.D. When you get a Ph.D., you have to look at the evidence for everything!Where is the Buddha? You show me the evidence!Evidence!Wow!Just now, where is the Buddha?The Buddha is here!How do you take it in your heart?Can't get it out!Can't prove it!Don't believe him.It is also difficult for us to prove that if it is someone who does not believe, he is Shaoshangen, and the same goes for you to get a PhD.The higher some students read, the less filial they are to their parents, right?On the contrary, those who didn't study were better-behaved and would take care of their parents.So reading high school does not mean that the person is better, not necessarily.The higher you read, the farther you run!Oh, don't come back to see your parents!Said air tickets are too expensive!How much does it cost to raise such a big deal?Looking back now, I said that the air tickets are too expensive and I don't have time. I have to ask for leave and make less money.Say so, this is called a doctor!I don't know what you are blogging?Is it better?Of course there is no better, this kind of person is not better, that is, there is no good root and less good root.What you say to him, he doubts you.Asking for trouble with you, show me the evidence!That's it!Like that, I believe that the Buddha will not lie to me, just like a child believes in his parents, we believe in what parents say, because we believe that their parents will not lie to us.right?Parents will not harm us, will they?In this way, we are truly people with good roots. Do you understand this way?So this passage tells us, who can die?There must be good roots. People who have few good roots can't go. "You can't have less good roots, good luck, cause and destiny, and you can live the other country." So we must cultivate our good roots, we must cultivate, this good root is very important, we must cultivate!Well, this paragraph is very important, we will continue to talk about it tomorrow.So the time is up.Okay, so that's it for today, Amitabha.
