Dear fellow practitioners, good evening, Amitabha (Public Answer: Amitabha).
We are going to continue to study the "Amitabha Sutra" tonight, so we still try to speak in Taiwanese, and try to speak in Taiwanese. By the way, let me train this way.How come there are more and more people here today? This makes us, Jushi Chen, "beyond the glasses". "Broken the glasses" means we are wrong.

Today Jushi Chen told me: "The temple outside of us has offerings for monks and a Dharma meeting. Maybe there will be fewer people coming to listen to the scriptures today."He told me this to remind me that if there are fewer people, teach me not to be disappointed, maybe that is what it means! But I thought to myself: "It shouldn't be! My charm is so good that it can't stop it." "I am so charming, and I have a lot of fans; and I see that those of us who came to listen to the sutra yesterday were very happy. At first there was no reaction, and I still can’t see it. I sit here and watch you see it very clearly. , But then the more I listened...oh! Our whole spirit was lifted up, and no one was dozing off. It can be seen that you all listened carefully, and you have very good roots, so I listened...so we talked about it until we died. Scared you.

Jushi Chen is very afraid that I will scare you, do you know that? Many of our fellow practitioners are newcomers and don’t know or understand the Pure Land Method. Some people still have a misunderstanding, thinking that they will recite Amitabha and teach people to die. It is to teach people to die early. I want to say, "Oh, yes! If we are really serious, if some new practitioners don't understand, some people will really be scared." No wonder I asked yesterday: "Those who are going to die...Those who are confident to die raise their hands!" Wow, how come there are not many? Really! Now there is no need to raise their hands, this is a loyal fan, we give him a clapping (popular clapping), this is called "Influencing the people", influencing the people, we also have merit when we come to listen to the scriptures, show our respect for the Three Jewels, and our confidence in studying the Fa, which can affect other people, so that you will also have merit when you come to listen to the scriptures. .

I want to say that I did this questionnaire yesterday, because I haven’t come back for a long time. It seems that it’s been a year or how long, more than a year, I feel that we are now fellow practitioners, are the people who raised their hands still? As a result, few people raised their hands. , I want to say whether they all died, or where did they go?As a result, when chatting with Jushi Chen in the afternoon, he said that some of them had emigrated, and he didn't know where the emigration went.If the immigrants really go to other countries, there is nothing to say, then if they are going to the track, don’t, I’m here to persuade you, so you have encountered such a marvellous dojo, and our heart should live in this place. Dojo.

We, Jushi Chen, I understand more and more about his intentions. I have been here several times. At the beginning, I didn’t know that much. I wanted to say that there are so many methods, how do I practice it? Now I know how he is. In order for us fellow practitioners to be able to practice with peace of mind, no matter what method you like to practice, he will protect you, so why do we need to renovate here on the first floor? We are going to transform it into a pure Ksitigarbha temple. Now the building next door is still being built. The golden body of Amitabha Buddha is then used as the three holy temples in the West. On the second floor is the Tathagata, the purpose is to cater to the root nature of each of us, and finally it will be led to the world of bliss. If you want to practice any method, it is available here for everyone’s convenience. , Joyful heart.

Although most of us, including Jushi Chen, know that we have to go to the Pure Land in the end and become a Buddha in the Western Paradise. But some people are just beginning to learn Buddhism. For beginners, you can teach them to specialize all at once. A Dharma, and I don’t understand the world of bliss, and even misunderstood that Amitabha... it seems unlucky to hear Amitabha Buddha. Someone in my family is about to die. I misunderstood and feared, so I suddenly asked you to specialize in this method. Of course you are. Shangenfude is not yet satisfied, so I can't force it.

We can make a predestined relationship first, and then slowly. When his predestined relationship matures, you see, we have to practice the Pure Land Method, as well as reciting Amitabha Buddha. If you want to tune your body specifically, you can have a predestined relationship with our Medicine Master Tathagata. It’s okay to cultivate here, or Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva; but we have to remember that although there are so many methods in our dojo, it’s not for you to do it alone, but for the root nature of different sentient beings to choose. In the end, we still have to You have to choose a method to specialize yourself, so that we can achieve it. Don't do it here and there, it won’t be effective if you do it for a long time.

But if we already have a method in our hearts that we really want to cultivate, we will be very happy when we cultivate, but if there are other activities and conferences here, it’s okay if you want to come and please, we just like it. The solemn dojo is not a miscellaneous cultivator. We are not saying that the power of cultivating this law is not enough. We need to practice two or three more methods to have enough power. That is not right! That is miscellaneous cultivating. Just fine.

If there is a certainty in the heart, for example, if we recite the Buddha and ask to be born in the Pure Land of the West, then we must specialize in the practice of Buddhism. We will definitely not change in our hearts. Our homework is also based on this. At this time, our dojo has other methods. Yes, if we need our help or the solemn dojo, then we can take it seriously. It’s okay. This is called "Xixi". Does this understand? Don’t say that I love walking around, I love walking around. It means that we don’t have a master in our own hearts, there is no master...there is no major method of cultivating. Think about it, if such a person runs around, can his mind be stable? This also has to be cultivated, and that also has to be cultivated. Is it very greedy? Can greed enter the Tao? Is there a way to enter the Tao? There is no way.

(XNUMX) Sincerity must be used to form bonds in Buddhism

(XNUMX) Sincerity must be used to make connections in Buddhism (this time, the master of drafting has not yet set the school, if there are typos, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Every method is very good, but each method is very broad and profound. Can you absorb all of them? Impossible! Any method is very good... This really requires hard work. It may not be completed in a lifetime, except for the practice of Buddhism. , Except for the practice of Buddhism, which is completely blessed by Amitabha, if you want to practice other methods, you only need to... For example, Zen or Tantra, you just choose one. It is impossible for you to achieve it in your life. the power of.

What's more, you need to practice meditation, and you need to practice secrets and then... Is there a way to achieve it? Now that you know that it is impossible, you know the answer, and it is impossible to achieve it. Then it becomes a connection in our Buddhism, ah, this Why does the microphone burn? It’s not me. It’s not me. Otherwise, it’s hard to talk about it. It’s like a sound from the underworld, doesn’t it look like it? It’s a sound floating from a distance. Okay, change another one. Oh, is our electricity too strong?

So we have to be clear about this concept, we don’t run around, we don’t want to run around.. here or there, especially in our dojo here, every method we practice has already been provided. That’s the most convenient, so why do we have to go around? Running? Another most important reason is to cultivate our virtues, our virtues.We have a predestined relationship with a place, a master, and a method. We just want to be honest, practical and sincere to make connections and interact with each other. Then if you run here and there, do you have any sincerity? No! Oh, no , No one is sincere.

If you are a person running around, there is no place where you really interact with sincerity to form relationships. Is there any way for such a person to improve our character? No way! Character, so do you understand? Character, character, no Speaking wrong, Taiwanese is not very good, and I'm afraid I don't speak clearly.It’s very important for us as practitioners to cultivate this character. If we are destined to a certain place, we must cherish it. On the one hand, we are protected by these three treasures. On the other hand, we must also devote ourselves to protect the dojo, how to protect it. ?If you have money to give money, you have money, you don’t have money, you don’t have power, come! The solemn dojo, it doesn’t matter, just do our best, we have merits, so that over time, we will not only have blessings and virtues, but we will also have Meditation, meditation!

Our meditation time is not that you have to go there to meditate in the deep mountains and forests before you can practice meditation. No, our minds are fixed in a method, in a dojo, and follow a master to learn a method. There is no change. On the one hand, we have a sincere intention to learn. On the other hand, after a long period of time, our meditation time will naturally come out. In this way, you will become another person in three years, three years; if you don’t believe it, try it, you Let’s test it first. It’s only three years. It’s okay. After three years, you’re still very young. It doesn’t matter, you definitely have to try it. This is also a precept, and a precept. No matter what we do, the same is true. meaning.

(XNUMX) Rest your mind at the corresponding Dharma subject

(XNUMX) Stay at ease in a major in the corresponding Dharma (the master of drafting has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

We are from Taiwan. I am a Taiwanese. There is a saying in Taiwan, "Apprenticeship for three years and four months of arts and crafts." I don’t know if there is such a saying. We must worship a master and learn what kind of technology in the world. Ah, it takes at least three years and four months to learn a technique from Master, and three years is a cycle. The most basic thing is that if a person is not determined, if he is not sincere, he needs to change his boss in three months. It’s that there is no way to make a difference in a lifetime. You have at least three years. It’s really not suitable. It doesn’t matter if you change places.Three years, you need to have.. Really have a real heart to learn, to understand, live in a place, learn to do a job, learn a thing, it takes at least three years before you can know if you are really suitable, or …Maybe you have achieved it in three years.

So this is a basic principle and commandment. We have to ask ourselves to be attentive in everything we do, and this is our sincerity! It means that we cherish and cherish this cause and condition, and then we are willing to be steadfast. , Honestly, we also want to practice both Fuhui and Hui, right? Running around is also very tiring. Running around is like something...like people who love to play. It’s fun here, and there’s fun too. Go around It seems to be fun to play, but how about playing till the end...?

I once met a layman in Taiwan. The old layman complained to me. She said that she had been running in Buddhism for XNUMX to XNUMX years and had a lot of bonds. She ran around in many temples, but she is old now. She felt very upset in her heart. She was afraid that no one would help her in the recitation when she died. I said, "You don’t have a lot of fate, how can you be afraid that no one can help you in the recitation?" What she said next was Karma is very heavy! She said, "I think people in Buddhism are very realistic." Very realistic...like to say...then...her tone is like saying that she has so many bonds. In the end, no... there may not necessarily be Buddhism people, fellow practitioners, or the person in charge of the temple, why didn't they give her back?

I asked her, "Which dojo do you always go to?" She said, "Just go here every three or five o'clock, and go there when three or five o'clock." I said that's right, your fate with others The knot is not deep, maybe you only go once for a long time, and others have forgotten you, right? If others want to be nice to you, they don’t know where to start. You just run away and don’t know what to do. Yes..., when this relationship is not deep, of course you will also feel uneasy, because you are not familiar with others at first, so you are afraid that if you have something, others will not be able to help you, or you will die At that time, no one came to help you with the recitation, and as a result, her inner conception was wrong, and it became a complaint, a complaint, and a three treasures.

I said, "This sentence of you is very heavy. You can't say it like that. When you say this sentence, all the Buddha disciples have been scolded by you, and everyone owes you." She said, "It's so realistic. Much!” The problem is that you didn’t really give. Everyone and every place of you got a bond and ran away. Maybe others have paid a lot to you... If we want to calculate this way; And maybe you have also created a lot of karma, and it is possible to have a lot of bad karma. It is someone else who is patience with you, and this kind of account is unclear.

So this kind of concept is wrong. When running around, it will make herself a waste of time. If you have been running for XNUMX to XNUMX years, there is no sense of security in her heart. Then she feels that her concept is wrong after listening to it.Who is to blame for a situation like this? Blame yourself, isn’t it a pity? So we have to be correct in this concept and then we have to choose a place, we really have a corresponding place, and then we have to find a way to choose a suitable one. The method of our ability to cultivate comes to major in, the next one is deep, the other ones do not matter, you must start from this, no matter what kind of method you cultivate, it doesn't matter.

Of course, in the end, you have to follow us to specialize in Pure Land. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a specialization now. It’s up to your own method.. Karma, you see the Medicine Master Tathagata too... He also asked the Eight Great Bodhisattvas to send you to the Paradise of Bliss. Tantric Buddhism is also Buddhism in the end, also...what is that...Yes, in the end, I also advise you to lead to the world of bliss. All schools and schools are the same. If you want to correspond with other dharma, of course, it doesn’t matter if you specialize , But remember to also recite Amitabha and practice the Pure Land Method, and then finally return your merits as a major to the world of bliss. If we say that our Pure Land Method now corresponds, we should directly specialize in it and don’t make any detours. You don’t have to go around the sideways, go straight... you don’t have to go back, chanting Amitabha is just going back, is that clear?

Respectful excerpt from disciple Shuxian

(XNUMX) Calling the name of Amitabha Buddha the most auspicious

(XNUMX) It is the most auspicious to say that the name of Amitabha Buddha is the most auspicious.

For example, when I came here this time, my task is to take you to and from life. So yesterday I took a questionnaire first, but after the questionnaire, I found out that today many of our fellow practitioners are new fellow practitioners. Of course, we can’t force you to ask for it. We will die soon, and we must first let you know about it first, and establish some understanding of the Western Pure Land of Bliss. After we truly understand it, at least we can’t say that we reject this Pure Land method. Then we will lose a good opportunity.

Some people say that this Amitabha Buddha is not auspicious to hear about Amitabha, because every time you see a person die on the road, it is to play Amitabha's Buddha name, "This is not auspicious, not auspicious...", hurry around.. Take a detour and dare not yet. On that path, some people said, "Oh! This Buddha Amitabha is dedicated to taking people to death! I still don't want to die." He will reject him in his heart. I don't know that Amitabha is the king of Buddhas and is the most auspicious.What does Amitabha Buddha mean? Immeasurable light, immeasurable life.Infinite light, light is wisdom, infinite lifespan is blessing, life is blessing, the most complete wisdom, the most complete blessing is Amitabha.

So if we see someone else, if you want to make a good relationship with anyone, you should put your hands together: "I wish you Amitabha! Immeasurable light and immeasurable life." To bless him, it is generally said that "Namou Amitabha" is …Nan Mu is refuge, what should I advise others to refuge? To refuge is to rely on, refuge in Amitabha, refuge in immeasurable wisdom, immeasurable life span, we wish him a long life, immeasurable light, immeasurable wisdom, and immeasurable life span. Isn’t this very good? Auspicious? Isn't it auspicious? Yes!

I used to be like this when I was preaching in Malaysia. When I was preaching, I also recorded that video tape. There was an old Bodhisattva who had good roots. There were more than XNUMX people in her family with descendants and grandchildren. Almost half of the people who practiced in the dojo were members of her family. She also asked her children and grandchildren to practice together, but she herself did not dare to recite Amitabha.Later, after I went, her children and grandchildren wanted to save their patriarch, so they invited me to dinner, she sat next to me, and I told her like this, and when I was finished, I immediately taught her to read a sentence to me. I didn't dare to read it before, I taught her to follow me.

After I finished reading, I asked her how she felt. She said that she would be fine, she would not be afraid, not as terrible as that. Before, she dared to recite Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, not Amitabha, but the world of bliss came more than hell. Horror! Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is busy saving sentient beings in hell, she is not afraid of Amitabha, she is not afraid of going to hell or going to Paradise, so it is a big misunderstanding!
Later, after I finished talking to her, she turned around immediately, and the conception knew it and turned around immediately.The next day, she brought all her son-in-laws who had not yet converted, and all brought them to Amitabha and the Three Jewels.

Therefore, we must first have a correct understanding of the name of Amitabha Buddha; then why do we come to hold
This Anle Buddha also talks about the topic of the Pure Land Method, because all the methods in our Buddhism, any sect of Zen or Tantric, only our Pure Land Method is the simplest and the simplest. It is the easiest to practice, and anyone can do it. , All can be achieved, and the result achieved is still the most complete. Let you be a Buddha, and you can be a Buddha in this life; then, where is the difficulty? It's hard to believe.Some people will still say, "How can there be such a good thing?" Right? "I have no good roots, and my karma is so heavy. How can it be possible that I can become a Buddha without cultivating in this life and relying on Amitabha?" It's really hard to believe. If you don't believe it, it really means that he is not good enough.

(XNUMX) Relying on Amitabha for saving the world and becoming a Buddha

(XNUMX) Relying on Amitabha for saving the world can become a Buddha (this is not the master of the draft, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

We continue to look at this text now, we can understand in the "Amitabha Sutra", all of which have been told to us, we learned this sentence yesterday: "Sariputra. We must not live in another country with less roots and merits. "This scripture tells us that if the good roots are not enough, the merits and blessings are not enough, some people have not encountered it, and some people do not want to believe it. This is all the merits of the less good roots. Because of predestined conditions, this kind of person has no way to die, no way to achieve, no way to become a Buddha in this lifetime, and the blessing is not enough! What the people of the world say is that this person is not blessed! , You see, there are really fewer good roots.

He doesn’t believe it. If someone tells him something deceptive or evil, oh, he just listens to it. Doesn’t this have good roots? Right!? He talks to the evil law and the outside world. The law is more corresponding. It’s like saying that we are humans. The more kind-hearted people love to be with good people, and they like to go to clean places. Look at that animal, low-level animals like that cockroach, do you like it very much? Go to wet places, wet and smelly places, and it will respond to that.So depending on what we love, we know where the good roots are. If we like to eat, drink, gamble, make bad friends, go to some noisy places or do bad things, it means that you have no good roots. , There is no good fortune.

Of course this kind of person encounters a great Dafa like ours, and he has no way to believe it; therefore, we have some new practitioners today to remember that it is very rare to have this kind of cause and conditions, and millions of catastrophes will happen! Even if you say you I don’t understand this truth yet...it’s okay, there’s no way to believe it right away...it’s okay, it’s all normal, and many people don’t believe it, but don’t doubt it first, don’t reject it. If you reject it, after the opportunity is lost, you really will be after you Will complain and regret, then really Amitabha, at least don't doubt first and then study hard, we also have CD-ROM connections.

At least if you don’t want to learn it, you have to understand the content first, and then you decide whether you want to learn it, right? You first understand it, if it’s really not suitable for you to learn, you think it’s too simple, and it’s okay if you want to learn more difficult. If you give up, you won’t regret it. Karma is not yet mature. It doesn’t matter if you want to practice other methods. It doesn’t matter. You must at least understand first, right? Don’t just reject it right away and say, "How can it be that simple?" ,impossible things!".Wow! That's really a pity, a gem is to be given to you, you still treat it as glass, I don’t want glass; you are deceived, and later: "Ah!!" It’s useless... Now, it's too late.

We must know that we can encounter this method today, and if you can immediately believe it, it means that you are the one who wants to be a Buddha in this life! Yesterday we said: "The master among the people, the wonderful among the people." The sutra says "Good men, good women", why... why do we talk about good men and good women? Our karma is so heavy. Good men and good women are because if we recite the Buddha, we are the Buddha, and those who recite the Buddha are the good men. , Good women, this means that because we recite the Buddha, we become good people, originally bad people, originally people with heavy karma, because we recite the Buddha, and the Buddha gives us blessings, we become good men and good women. This means that .

We climbed into this very good relationship! It's like saying that we are ordinary people, we are all like nine to five, and we are living with a dead salary, and one day we are suddenly attracted by the richest man here. To marry you home, or to say that this man gave you a good position, pulled you up and let you be the general manager, and suddenly you became... from an obscure common people, suddenly became something. .. A person who has a status and everyone admires and admires is immediately different, right? Is this possible? Yes, if you meet such a good fate, you will have it, a good opportunity, yours Destiny will change right away, right?

If you girl accidentally marries a billionaire, billions of us Indonesian currency is not that much? Yes, is it too much? It’s too much, it won’t be counted, just a few million, a few million. Yes, it costs several million to eat noodles, do you want it? No concept, I don’t count this Indonesian currency. Anyway, it’s a rich and rich person who suddenly asked you Cinderella to become a princess and marry you home. At first, you were a very inconspicuous person, and no one paid attention to it. If you suddenly became the wife of a rich family, would you suddenly have a different identity? That's the same thing.

Men are too. One day you are lucky enough to meet someone... a chairman, he fell in love with you very much and said, "Well... this young man is good! Although it looks very desolate now, there is no effort at all, but Now... he can be cultivated in the future, he must be successful." He immediately promoted you and made you a manager as a general manager. Your identity and your destiny will be changed immediately, right? Is it possible? So Can you believe Amitabha? Amitabha is like this, he is unconditional! Because he is rich and wise, he is willing to pull us out, we have to believe in him, if you don’t believe and run away, you have no chance, right? ? Isn't it a pity!?

(XNUMX) Speaking hard to save the crowd

(XNUMX) Speaking hard to save the fans (the master of drafting has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Buddha Amitabha has the ability, why? What is Buddha? What is Buddha? A Buddha is a person with perfect wisdom and blessings. He is called a Buddha, and he is qualified to be called a Buddha. This sutra tells us: "Amitabha Since becoming a Buddha, the ten calamities are now."Before the ten kalpas, before the ten kalpas, he was already a Buddha, so he has this ability, and there is this way that we can promote every sentient being and suffering sentient beings. He can promote us. He has the power.Then you see, our scriptures say that the Buddhas in the ten directions are here to prove that Buddha Shakyamuni was born in India, and he is also a living person!

This is not superstition. We are not superstitious in Buddhism. His princes don't want to do it. He will practice asceticism until the final attainment of Buddhahood and attain Buddhahood. He will introduce us to Amitabha.Because if we follow Him and practice asceticism, we will not come and run away in three days. Therefore, he told us that following Amitabha Buddha does not need to be done by ourselves. We rely on the blessings given by Amitabha Buddha, promote us, promote us, and we will be destined immediately. Just change, from a sinful mortal in a world of five turbid evils to something...good men and women, good men and good men among men, that's how they come. Is this understanding? So we have a way, should we believe it? ?Believe! This is theoretically based, this is not superstition.

So we must listen to the scriptures, listen carefully, what kind of heart should we listen with? We must listen with respect.Master, now it’s hard to be a master. Everyone is very busy. How can I come here to make a joke, right? I came here from Taiwan by plane, and I’m so scared to sit here again. I’m always ready to be... not on the plane. I know that I went directly to see Amitabha, risking my life, and always impermanence. If we stay at home, would it feel safer? We don’t have that kind of running around in the dojo. We want everyone to have the opportunity to get the most extraordinary. Fa, I came here to come here without hesitation. How could it be possible to come here to joke with you, right? Everyone will know by inference.

It’s even more impossible for the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to joke with us and eat too much? The prince did not do it. Buddha Shakyamuni was born in India. He practiced asceticism and possessed so much wealth. The king would not do it to save sentient beings and persuade us. Recite Amitabha and rely on Amitabha's power to quickly leave suffering and be happy, and go to the Western Paradise to become a Buddha. Of course, it is to tell the truth to us, for our good, it is impossible to joke with us, there is no need, right? ?So should we believe the words of these saints, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas? We should believe, not believing really has no conscience, very conscientious! Speaking of such a mouthful, we still spend money on them.

You see, Jushi Chen spends a lot of money here, right? He has been paying unconditionally for sentient beings, and sentient beings don’t understand this, don’t know how to be grateful, and don’t know how to cherish and doubt, is he very unconscience, really has no good roots? , It’s okay if you don’t believe it, at least don’t doubt it, otherwise you will be very disrespectful, people are kind.It’s like when you go to help others, you do good deeds, and you start bodhisattva. Today I am going to be a bodhisattva. I am going to be a bodhisattva. I am here to be good to all beings and cultivate kindness. As a result, I felt ashamed. You said to good people, "Ah. Why are you treating me so nicely today? What is your purpose?" Did you feel like being insulted? Right? Yes! So we don’t believe that Buddha is very sinful, even saints are Want to doubt, right?

Of course we didn’t do it on purpose. There’s nothing wrong with it. But in fact, it’s really heavy karma for us like this. Without good roots, we wouldn’t believe it, and this opportunity ran away. What does this mean? We have no good fortune. ! People who do not have good roots must have no blessings, so today we encountered this cause, whether we are new fellow practitioners or old fellow practitioners who have already set out to go to the Paradise of Bliss to become a Buddha, it doesn’t matter. We will come to Amitabha very seriously this time, Buddha Yi, reciting this Buddha name must be very respectful and pious. Whether you understand it or not, in this day, we will use this kind of mood to cultivate together, and believe that Amitabha will meet. Bless you.

(XNUMX) Have the roots of good faith without doubt

(XNUMX) Have enough good roots, trust and not doubt (this time, the drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Some old Bodhisattvas have good roots. He hasn’t listened to the scriptures but just heard the master say, “I’m telling you that there is a world of bliss in the West, where there is a Buddha called Amitabha. He made a vow and made forty-eight vows. He wanted to bring everything. When sentient beings go to the world of bliss and become a Buddha, you only need to believe that you are willing to make a wish. The method is very simple. You can recite Amitabha Buddha when you have time. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have time. It doesn’t matter, it lies in personal fate, in personal happiness, when you are dying, as long as your willingness to live is not lost, you have no regrets and say: I don’t want to go! No, you also have this willingness to live, so you are dying At that time, Amitabha Buddha will definitely take you to the Paradise of Bliss!".

Some old Bodhisattvas believed them as soon as they heard them, and then they graduated! Graduation is so easy! So it is said that when we practice together
Maybe at a certain moment, suddenly our good roots are triggered. We already have Buddha nature. We originally have equal wisdom with the Buddha. It’s just that our karma is heavy and it’s covered up. So suddenly In the meantime, the light of the Buddha, the light of Amitabha Buddha blessed us, our heart, the dark heart immediately became bright, and suddenly you felt that Amitabha was very close to us, very close, and you would believe it, although Our eyes cannot see.

It’s not that the Buddha’s absence is that our eyes are too poorly functioning, and we can’t see it when covered by a piece of paper. It’s that our eyes’ abilities are too poor. It’s not that the Buddha is not there. We can’t see it. If you have an inner connection with Amitabha, you will believe that the real Amitabha is right next to us. Do you believe it? How come so many people nod, true or false? They all have good roots, believe Oh? Yes! We just want to believe in this way. We are very pious and don't doubt. We must believe in the Buddhas of the ten directions and the Three Jewels to not waste time joking with you. This is called the root of goodness. Use our good roots to believe.

Don’t be like some people who have read more advanced books and say, "Then show me the evidence!" Tell you where to find the evidence and where is the pure land? In that respectful and sincere heart, you can feel the pure land with your heart. Here, if your heart feels it, you will know in your heart that you clearly see that there is a Buddha with our eyes. Why do we see that there is a Buddha? Because we have already benefited, we have already With the power blessed by the Buddha and the Three Jewels, if we have already obtained it, it is impossible to doubt or turn back. Is there any understanding? Yes? Then if this concept is correct, tomorrow we will be a happy Buddha. First, you will be truly very happy, peaceful and happy. Let us enjoy chanting the Buddha. Tomorrow I will teach you how to chant this Buddha name so that you can recite it very easily and joyfully. There will be time for discourses tomorrow.

Today we continue to read this scripture, because the purpose of arranging two Amitabha Sutras tomorrow is to bring us into the environment of the blissful world. I don’t know how to doze off after chanting. The chanting is very boring, but I know the Western Paradise very well.. The environment and the uniqueness inside help us.. Help us and can help us and Amitabha It’s very close, because this majestic environment was created by Amitabha Buddha for us. For example, like Jushi Chen, we built one building here, another building there, and everywhere. For what? So that all living beings can learn the Dharma here, For the sake of so many of our fellow practitioners, if we understand this fact, our relationship with him will be closer, closer, more grateful, and cherish. So tomorrow we are the Buddha, This is the intention of reciting an Amitabha Sutra from morning to afternoon.

Some people don’t know the content of this sutra very well, so we need to learn it early today. Many fellow practitioners could recite before, but they didn’t feel it because they didn’t really understand it. What do we need? In order to follow the text, we must see the content clearly when we chant the sutra, we must visualize, we must visualize that we have gone into the Paradise of Bliss, we are not still sitting in the north pole. In the Sanbao Buddhism Center, no, when we are studying or chanting, we have already flown into the world of bliss. If we want to chant like this, this is the key point. Then you will be very happy with what kind of sutras you recite. , You will go to that place by chanting what sutra. This is called "introduction to the view with the text".

(XNUMX) Correctly follow Master Shandao's Pure Land Thought and respectfully study

(XNUMX) Correctly follow the pure land thought of Master Shandao and study respectfully (this master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merits are boundless!)

Okay, let’s go on to read one more passage: “Sari Buddha. If there are good men and good women. Amitabha Buddha is heard. Holds the title.

If one day.If two days.If three days.If four days.If five days.If six days.If seven days.Not chaotic. "Let’s look at this paragraph first, which is very important.This paragraph means that if we were chanting Buddhism in the past, we would always want to say: oh to fight the seventh, right? To fight the seventh, you need to practice kung fu, right? Practice...where do you want to practice? , Which means that we can die without any delusion. Is there anyone who thinks like this? Is there any? Some people raise their hands! Do you have the confidence to die? Huh? How can this be? Well, there is a contradiction in this way, you are Are you here to join in? Just keep raising your hand, keep raising your hand, this is also very cute.

But I want to make it clear to you, if you think that we need to practice Kungfu to become a Buddha in this life, I will not have any delusions in reciting the Buddha, then I will tell you that you can't die in this life, because what? Because there is no People can do it. I have been trying for more than ten years. I have been reciting Buddhism for more than ten years. I still retreat until I want to hit the wall. I am very angry. The more I think, the more delusional thoughts increase. You are more serious than me. Retreat and recite the Buddha, are there? No, I can't read it. How can you do it, right? Many patriarchs also can't recite, so in the end, I turned to rely on Amitabha.

You have really turned yourself into an Arahant when you recite the Buddha, and you have deep meditation. You have not relied on faith, and you have not relied on the aspiration of Amitabha Buddha, and you have no way to die, let alone us, so this concept It’s wrong. If there is really a way to read one thought without rebirth, then of course you can die. The problem is that it’s impossible for us. For us, this concept is wrong and there is no way to achieve it. That’s why I I want to tell you what is the correct concept that can really be achieved.

"If one day to if seven days", this means that since we encountered the Pure Land Method and began to recite the Buddha.. From the beginning to the time when we passed away, you have not repented, you all demanded to be born in the Paradise of Bliss, this real demand The mind of life has not changed, and it will not change the mind. This is called: "If one day. If seven days. One mind is not chaotic." What is it? The mind is not chaotic, the whole mind is not mixed, and it is not mixed and uninterrupted. , The meaning of not chaotic repair, single-minded.This one-mindedness means one-mindedness and one-mindedness. It does not mean that it is wrong to not produce one thought. The Pure Land Method is the simplest. How can you be required to not produce one thought? Relative Law, if it requires that no delusion be born, this is Isn’t it called a simple and easy method, it’s very difficult, right?

So it doesn’t make sense. The explanation is... it’s not the true practice of our Pure Land Method, it’s other patriarchs.. The ancestors of other sects earlier looked at the theory of this Pure Land Method based on their own sect’s practice concepts. I just Who said this statement? Amitabha, the master of Shandao who came back in his own incarnation, said to us that the second ancestor of our Pure Land sect, then we... the ancestors of other sects also cultivated very well, they are the Great Bodhisattva , But Master Shandao is a Buddha, and it is Amitabha Buddha who is willing to come again. Who do we want to listen to? Listen to Amitabha! He said it himself, this is his own method, who is better than what he said and his own You still need to understand the method? Right?

Other bodhisattvas have high wisdom, others who practice meditation, secret meditation, and wisdom, but he is more specialized in his own major, and he is not so specialized in the Pure Land Method.The realm of the Pure Land Method is that the Great Bodhisattva has no way to understand it. It is the method that the Buddha can say without asking. No one can ask it. There is no way anyone can enlighten it. It is the realm of the Buddha. Only the Buddha and the Buddha can make the difference! So this big bodhisattva of his sect can't understand like the Buddha, do you know that?

Therefore, we must learn this scripture according to the practice of this truly standard Pure Land Method, so that we feel like, "Well, every one of us has this certainty that we can die." Everyone has a share and a chance. Ah, children and old bodhisattvas have the opportunity. To be a Buddha is not to die! To be a Buddha, is it okay to be a Buddha? To be a Buddha is to be as solemn as Amitabha, to be so wise, so blessed. , Is this bad? Okay! Do you want to go right away? "No, I haven't made all the money...", do you want to go right away? Raise your hand if you want to go right away.. Don't be shy, tell the truth, Buddha and Bodhisattva I'm all watching, come, raise your hand! Oh.. It's really like staying still, okay, it's okay for you to come and ask for money and blessings.

We still have a lot of these pujas here. Look at you.. You want.. You can also ask for money. You want to cultivate blessings. Have you introduced a boyfriend or girl friend? No, there is no such fear, oh, that’s too much. It’s too miscellaneous. You have to be a beginner.. You can ask to be the president in your next life. We have all kinds of methods here. As you please, you can come to me if you want to become a Buddha. I will bring you to become a Buddha. That’s good. Do you? You can fulfill your wishes as you wish; but oh hope that your roots of goodness will grow more and more, we...the things in our world should not be greedy. If we want to practice Buddhahood, the more greedy the better, we have to... For a graduate degree, we don’t want to take a degree from a kindergarten. It’s a pity that you are satisfied.

Therefore, this method is very simple. You don’t need to practice Kungfu. Sometimes it’s very tiring to recite Buddhism, there is no news, and there are a lot of delusions. What should we do! If you need it, please read it joyfully, read it lightly, read it when you have time, don’t read it when you have no time, just remember to recite Amitabha Buddha in your heart, believe in Amitabha, and when the time is up, we can become a Buddha. It's so simple .

(XNUMX) All the believers in the meeting asked to receive the five precepts for perfection and consummation

(XNUMX) All the believers in the meeting asked for the five precepts to be fulfilled and fulfilled (this is the master of the drafting script has not yet set the school, if there are typos, please report the error, the merits are boundless!)

We continue to read the scriptures: "When the man is dying. Amitabha and all the saints. Now before. It is the man who does not turn his mind at the end. That is, he will be reborn Amitabha, the kingdom of bliss. Sari Buddha. I see that it is profit, so I say This statement. If there are sentient beings. Hearing is the speaker. One should make a wish to regenerate the land." Good.Let’s take a look. Oh, the practitioners here in Indonesia have the highest meditation. After talking for a long time, I’m still in Malaysia... But at least you have a high attendance rate. This record has not been broken. For more than a day, this is okay. You are very supportive, and I have a good relationship with me. Otherwise, you did not go to the monk outside today, and there are other fa conferences. Even our Lay Chen miscalculated and said, " There are so few people here today."As a result, more came and not many vacancies, so we would all have to laugh and be content.

But if you compare it with the fellow practitioners in Malaysia, if you don’t believe me, go to my facebook and you must die. My lecture hall is on facebook, which is dedicated to bringing sentient beings to the lecture hall where the Buddha is born, so it must die. This body makes it die. Forget it, no more, we are going to be a Buddha.If you have time to check it out, I have posted all my activities and shared posts. Everywhere I go is very special.Have you ever seen that we have only one Buddha one, one Buddha one, we only have one day of cultivating together. What happened last month, September XNUMXth...XNUMXth in Muar, more than XNUMX people participated Nearly one hundred and forty or fifty people participated, including our volunteers and those who signed up.

At the very beginning, we raised our hands. We preached the Five Precepts. Then, Buddha One... Anle Buddha One. At the beginning, we all need questionnaires, because we only meet once for a long time, and some people don’t know each other. I have to ask questions first. , Depending on your level, I will be able to teach you the Fa you understand. The result is a questionnaire: "Is there anyone who wants to take the five precepts?" There are only a dozen of one hundred and forty or fifty people, ten. A few people raised their hands. As a result, I practiced together that day, and I taught it for only over an hour. The part about the precepts and the correct concept of how to keep the precepts were introduced. After that, when the precepts were passed on, it was almost XNUMX%. People of five, because the five precepts have to kneel, please accept it, ninety-five percent of the people ask for the five precepts, have you ever seen it?

This is very difficult and impossible in Malaysia, because the fellow practitioners in Malaysia are very afraid of taking the precepts, afraid of breaking the precepts and going to hell, so he would rather not take the precepts and do his karma safely, and then go to hell to die. Bai, that’s okay. He would rather be like this, he would not be afraid. Anyway, that’s something for the future. Now he would rather not take the precepts and feel more at ease. Most of the fellow practitioners are like this, but they can. This concept is wrong. More than a hundred people can take the five precepts. I saw, oh...everyone is kneeling, the whole row, almost...ninety-five percent, almost a few are not kneeling, meditating, sitting cross-legged, that is to say, those who want to take the precepts Long kneel, then kneel, sit down if you don’t ask for it.
I saw, oh! Ninety-five percent, I was shocked... How come everyone is kneeling, really or not? There are just a few young people. I think their roots of goodness are mature. I said there are still a few others. Kneeling, I said to them: "Stand up!" Oh, it's not that you stand up, it's "Get up!" In this way, I immediately followed up and took the precepts. I was...and again...and comforted them: Give me a little face Well, do you still want to kill, do you want to kill, do you want to commit adultery? Let’s talk about it. Everyone is kneeling. Ten percent of them all ask for the five precepts. There are more than one hundred people, and those few people are also very cute. As soon as I yelled to them, they immediately knelt up and received the Five Precepts together. He probably wanted to take it very much, but he was still hesitating. Master called him, and immediately he followed everyone to take the Five Precepts. Wow! Very! Consummation! People have only listened to it for more than an hour, and even accepted the precepts that I didn't dare to take, you see.

So we don’t doubt the blessing power of the Three Jewels. Let us relax. Don’t doubt the Three Jewels. Although we don’t hear much, we understand.. It’s not that we know very well, and we don’t have to wait for evidence because sometimes you listen to you for a lifetime. I also don’t understand or enlighten. We must rely on our good roots. Believe in the Three Jewels. The Three Jewels will not harm you or harm you. It is absolutely for your own good. If it were not for your own good, so much time was spent. What do you have to do with so much money? What good is it for us? Right? You will cherish it in this way, so you won't miss this opportunity.After you have truly accepted it, and when you are obedient, and truly follow the practice, you will naturally believe more and more, and you will understand this truth more and more.

(XNUMX) Cherish the seldom of the human body, and develop a sincere heart to take refuge in the Three Jewels of Salvation

(XNUMX) To cherish one's life is rare, and to develop a sincere heart to take refuge in the Three Treasures (this is because the master of drafting has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, and the merits are boundless!)

What do you mean by taking refuge in the Three Jewels? I’ll ask again, and I’ll ask again: "We have already taken refuge in the Three Jewels here, please raise your hands!" Don’t be embarrassed to raise your hands, please raise your hands... Don’t slap thank you, why don’t you raise your hands like this... Do you really know how to thank you? Ah, not too much. You are all from Christianity. If you want to scare me to death, it’s as if you don’t move. Obviously everyone is happy and grinning. There is no response? Is it very shy? Don't be shy, we are sitting here, we are a family, fellow Taoists! This cause is very special.

What do people say: "Ten years of repairing can make the same boat, and a hundred years of repairing can sleep together." Then if we want to sit on the same boat, just like we have to take the same plane and the same bus now, it will take ten years to repair. In the past life, it takes ten years to cultivate the cause and condition, and it takes a hundred years to be a husband and wife. Only when we can do the same kind of affiliation, at least for thousands of years, can we be like-minded and work in the same direction. This is sometimes better than the relatives. It's still close, because the individual is walking on a personal path, not chatting or understanding. If we don’t have similar interests, then the relationship will not be close. Then we are in the same direction, the relationship that walks the same path is very close. , So we don’t... don’t be shy, don’t be shy, we have to interact with each other honestly, bless each other, and help each other, so that we can improve faster in our cultivation.

Then if no one has converted, I will talk about conversion by the way.Refuge is to rely on, rely on, we must truly rely on the Three Jewels is called the Three Jewels of Refuge.To convert is to return, turn back, and to rely on is to rely on.What did we refuge in the past? We are chasing the five desires and six dusts, wealth, color, famous food, sleep, things in the world, we have been pursuing things in the world, and now we are starting to be cultivators, if we want to practice Taoism, we will turn back and convert: return to Dharma, In Buddhism, rely on: relying on the Three Jewels, this is called refuge.

Then if we really have this heart, people who rely on the Three Jewels, the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, you really have this sincerity, not just talking about it, so that even if you have not cultivated anything in your entire life, you have no need to recite the Buddha. Going to Buddha Amitabha, you didn’t receive the Five Precepts, killing, stealing, adultery..., you didn’t do good deeds, and you didn’t commit any evil, no practice, no karma. You can also guarantee that you will not fall into the three evil ways in the future and rely on the power of the three treasures We won’t be beasts or ghosts in our next life. Hungry ghosts are very hungry. Our Dameng Mountain invites them to eat. They are so hungry that they are... More terrifying, hell, this is called the "three evil ways."We have done more karma in this life, right? We seldom do good deeds. Then we calculate by cause and effect. In the next life, almost nine out of ten of us will go to the Three Evil Ways. Do you want to believe it? Very scary! This Blessed One told us.

We are the beings of the end of the Dharma, who will be able to be human again in the next life, like our nails, nails...our nails, a small piece, right? Then grab it from the soil and sand, and just stay in the nail after grabbing it. There is so little sand, who can still be a human in the next life, so little, the sand in the nails.What is the person who cannot be human? The soil of the earth, the whole ground, the fine sand in the soil of the whole world, so many people can no longer be humans, where can they not be humans? To be beasts, to be ghosts, so ghosts There are a lot of Dao sentient beings! Then Judge Chen is saying that he can't be overthrown when he often transcends, so he must always do it because of this. There are a lot of sentient beings, and there are a lot of ghosts and dao sentient beings! Then ten or nine of us will go in the next life. This is what the Blessed One is talking about, not me, it's terrifying!

If we don’t hurry up and hug the lotus flower of Amitabha, and hug him a little bit to go to the Paradise of Bliss, then in the next life we will go to the three evil realms, unless we say that you really have refuge in the Three Jewels, our hearts really rely on the Three Jewels, our hearts …Our heart is very sincere, and we have to rely on the Three Jewels. If this heart is born, we will truly have the three refuges, the Buddha disciples who have the three refuges, and those who really have the identity card. It’s not just that it’s not effective to just participate in one ceremony. That kind of person who has the heart to take refuge in the Three Jewels, and someone who depends on the Three Jewels, even if you have not cultivated, you are guaranteed not to fall into the Three Evil Ways in your next life. You have this merit!

Respectful excerpt from disciple Shuxian

(XNUMX) Really rely on Amitabha Buddha to save the heart and get stability and liberation

(XNUMX) Sincerely rely on Amitabha Buddha to save your heart and you will be safe and liberated (this is not the master of the draft, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

What is really called the Three Jewels of Refuge? It means that you can’t find someone for fortune-telling. If you look for something outside the Taoist way, there are those that don’t. If you.. The outside Taoism means outside of the Dharma, from the heart... Buddhism is to cultivate our mind, that mind. Others are called Wai Dao, then you say that you take refuge in the Three Jewels, and you ran to find a fortune-teller, and you handed over your fortune to others, so that you are practicing and cultivating Buddhism? No, you haven’t taken refuge in the Three Jewels. Relying on the Sambo, you are relying on this fortune teller, so you can’t do this.There are also precepts for refuge, three things. You can’t take refuge in other evil ways or take refuge in anything else. That’s not possible. It’s not taking refuge in the Three Jewels. Then don’t rely on the power of the Three Jewels to prevent you from falling into the Three Evils in your next life. Tao, do you understand this?

So just taking refuge has such a great merit. Thanks to the blessing of our Three Jewels, we don’t need to fall to the Three Evil Ways, so we can understand it? This is the meaning of real refuge. It doesn’t mean going to a ceremony with others. If you really take refuge, you still have to take a refuge certificate, and you don’t need to buy a ticket when you visit the temple. The refuge certificate is used like this, it’s useless! Continue to talk about it, or I’m almost done.

The next scripture talks about the six-party Buddha. This section is very long, so we don’t need to recite it anymore, because the time is too late. The six-party Buddha means the ten-party Buddha, east, west, south, north, up, and down, which means Including ten directions, all inclusive.The Buddhas of the ten directions are all advising us to recite Amitabha, and to be a Buddha in the Pure Land of Survival. Our Pure Land of Survival does not teach us to go right now, we mean, we are now.. Let’s first...because it’s hard to say if impermanence comes, impermanence is What? Accidents. We don’t know when there will be an accident. What should we do if there is an accident now? Wow, then I don’t know where to go. If we don’t know where to go in the next life, like we just said, ten nines Everyone is going to the Three Evil Dao, are you going to the Three Evil Dao? No, right?

So do we have to find our way first? This is very important! I also like all the classics, Zen and Tantra, but I don’t have time to cultivate them because everyone’s tasks are different, so I’m specialized To take people to life, to be a Buddha, first help you arrange your future path first, our hearts are stable, I am sure that if one day, we are dying or if there is a sudden accident, we don’t need to be afraid. , Because I have already arranged, and the future has been arranged, is this not good? I have to arrange it first, right? It’s not preaching that you die right now, don’t worry, try to spend the money as much as possible, and you want to marry a wife, Those who are going to have children, let you go. It’s not bad for us to recite the Buddha. We will live your life in the world like you. If you have time, you can recite the Buddha. That’s good, it’s very simple.

Well, if we don’t find the way out first, it’s really dangerous. We’ll go all the time in our next life. You see, our ancestors or those who passed away in the family have asked me where I am now. Where..., most of them are going to the ghost road, which is terrible. We don’t need to be ghosts when we die. We don’t have to be ghosts after we die. It is very pitiful to be ghosts. We are going to be Buddhas, so we have to make arrangements first. Okay, after we are finished, we will be stable. What should we do next when we are stable? We live normally, except that we need to cultivate fortune or go to work to make money. It doesn't matter, there is no difference. Then why don't we arrange it first? Right?

Then you are just afraid and afraid... Amitabha Buddha doesn't know if he will take me to death now... Then you will not die when you are afraid? Then if time comes, if black and white impermanence wants to capture you, you If you don't go, you can't do it. I'm afraid it's not a way. Let's deal with it first. If we arrange it, our heart will be stable.So this is the most important thing. We have to deal with the most urgent thing first. When it’s over, we’ll feel at ease. It doesn’t matter what we have to do. It doesn’t matter if we are worried about what we have not done or what we want to do. The time is up to Amitabha to pick it up. Let's go to be a Buddha, isn't this very appropriate?

You know, in this passage of our scripture, all the Buddhas in the ten directions have come to persuade us like this. The same is true of the Oriental Medicine Master Liuliguang Tathagata, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva...All Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Maitreya Bodhisattvas, including Yiguan Taoist practitioners, are also with Maitreya. Bodhisattvas are also very predestined, right? You go to see the scriptures, there are many places in the scriptures that Maitreya Bodhisattva advises us to go to the Paradise of Bliss, so do you want to go? Do you want to listen to him? Because how, we were yesterday It has been said that the world of bliss is the place where all the methods will return to the end, just like the West.Why is it called the West and not the Eastern Paradise? Because the West means the sun goes down to the west, from... Does the sun rise from the east and the place to return to the West? It means this.

All of us must go to this place in the end. Where do we go? Amitabha, this place can be safe and happy, and there will be no pain forever, only to live in the blissful life, is this bad? If we don’t plan to , In the future, will you go to hell to be a ghost or be a beast. This kind of opportunity is very big. Ten or nine will go. Then do you have such good luck? Which one you don’t need to go to? Are you sure? From morning to night, there are more karma. Do you treat others well? Or everything is for ourselves.

Everything is planned for ourselves, selfishness, selfishness, selfishness, everything is done for ourselves, this is bad karma, if it is for others, it is good deeds, then do we serve others? Rarely, Right? It’s only a few months to do a good deed like this, do a good deed like this, give comfort, and do something that seems to be done or not, very reluctant, there is nothing like this, we count as good karma very much. There are fewer evil karma and more, so of course you will fall into the third dignity in the future.This cause and effect, we have to believe in cause and effect, cause and effect, everyone is equal to this cause and effect, no one is special, so we have to take this opportunity, we know this method should be grasped, you see all Buddhas are persuading us to do This path is relatively simple, relying on Amitabha, relying on the Three Jewels, and truly taking refuge in the Three Jewels, so that we can be liberated.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Shuxian

(XNUMX) Believe in the true words of the Buddha, believing in the heart, be willing to become a Buddha when you are alive

(XNUMX) Belief in the true words of the Buddha, believing in the heart, be willing to become a Buddha when you are alive (the master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Let’s look at another scripture: “Sariputra. It is what you say. Why is it called the sutra protected by all Buddhas. Sariputra. If there is a good man. A good woman. To hear is the holder of the experience. And to hear the Buddhas." Names. Good men. Good women. They are protected by all Buddhas. They must not turn back to Amitara Sanya Sanbodhi. It is the Sariputra. You should all believe and accept my words and thoughts. What the Buddhas said." Good.This is also persuading and always persuading. The Lord said to Sariputta, why reading this sutra says that all Buddhas and all Buddhas are protecting and protecting. Only the "Amitabha Sutra" has this, and the general sutras do not. The general sutras are just a part of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who are protecting, so the "Amitabha Sutra" we are studying now is that all the Buddhas are protecting.

Why is there such a singularity? Because this sutra can keep us from turning back and be able to be Buddhas in our lives. "Amitara Sanya Sanbodhi" means to be a Buddha and become a Buddha, so it is the most singular, that is to say, there are some. It can only give us the benefits of elementary school and middle school, but what can this sutra allow us to get? The research institute allows you to get the result of a doctor, so it is the most extraordinary, it is like this.Each sutra is very good, but its focus is different, and it has different benefits for all beings. Some people don’t want to be high above and just want to be in elementary school. It doesn’t matter, just let you be in elementary school, as you please. Whatever you want, I will give you more if you want more, and I will give you less if you want less. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have no opinion. If you are happy, it is fine.

So we are very comfortable in studying Buddhism, don’t worry, we won’t force you to become a doctor now. It doesn’t matter if you want to cultivate slowly like this, but it’s important to be true and don’t use fake ones. Fake, you are wasting your own time, do you understand this? Honestly live in a dojo, be motivated, have money to pay, and work hard, to cultivate your own blessings. After we cultivate this good root, we will get well. The fruit of the reward, don’t walk around, you don’t have this sincerity if you walk around, just play here and there, and in the end the time wasted is yourself.Like the old Bodhisattva I just talked about, after running the dojo for XNUMX to XNUMX years, he has a lot of fate, but in the end there is no place where the fate is deep, so I feel uneasy, and I am afraid that no one will follow her to help me in the future. Poor, but she made a mistake by herself, and there is no way. This also makes us vigilant.

Okay, look at the next paragraph: "Sariputra. If anyone has made a vow. Make a vow today. Let's make a vow. Those who want to be born in the Amitabha Kingdom. It is all people and so on. All must not turn back to Amitala Sanya Sanbodhi. Yubi Country. If you have been born. If you are in this life. If you are alive. It is the old Sariputra. Good men. Good women. If there is a believer, you should make a vow. Give birth to the country." Good.You see, I’m trying to persuade people again. If you make a vow, it doesn’t matter if you have just made a vow or said you want to make a vow now, or those who want to make a vow in a while, these people can all have to turn back. Yes, you can die when the predestined relationship is mature, and you can become a Buddha without turning back to Amitala Sanya Sanbodhi.

So this paragraph is that Buddha Shakyamuni has been persuading us to believe and make aspirations.We now feel that our Buddha Shakyamuni is talking to us and persuading us, do we feel that we read... chanting is to chant like this, to feel that the Blessed One is speaking to us in front of us Words are not telling stories to others but telling us.I once retreat. I was practicing Dharma and Hua Samadhi. At that time, I wanted to talk about learning confession. Many people like to worship confession. Fortunately, I learned a lesson and didn’t bring it to me. I have never held a Dharma meeting. Three-month short-term closure.

At that time, I saw a paragraph in the chanting "The Lotus Sutra". I was not familiar with Buddha Shakyamuni. I am not familiar with Buddha Shakyamuni, but I am more familiar with Buddha Amitabha, because I encountered Buddhism as soon as I came into contact with him. , I heard the "Blessed Life Sutra", I heard Amitabha Buddha, and followed him. It was almost XNUMX years ago, so I was not familiar with Sakyamuni Buddha. That time, because of the practice of samādhi confession, I recite the "Fahua Sutra" and saw a paragraph , I just chanted that passage, and saw the Lord.. It’s strange, how can we teach us not to approach the Arahants who are the Hinayana saints, and teach us not to approach? Let me take a look: "Ah? They are so good saints, Lord How can we teach us not to get close to him? Or his own disciples!” I was shocked suddenly, and then I continued to recite, and slowly I realized, what did I realize? Buddha Shakyamuni really treated us Just like a baby, so let’s take care of Tiaotiao, afraid that we, Mahayana beginners, will meet these southern saints, wow, tell you that there is no Mahayana, no Amitabha, and no Shakyamuni Buddha. You will retreat at once. That’s it! I lost my Mahayana heart, so he just taught you not to get close, Jia, let’s take care of it, wow! He is protecting our seedling!

At that time, I was crying bitterly, crying so miserably, I was very touched. It turned out that I was Buddha Shakyamuni’s beloved baby. I don’t know yet. I didn’t know him before. I didn’t feel it. I didn’t feel it in my heart. See In this passage, Buddha Shakyamuni took care of us so carefully and cared for us, fearing that we would finally initiate the Mahayana mind, and then retreat... and let the Hinayana saints pull away, don’t talk about outsiders, outsiders are often pulling us.His own disciples of Buddha, he also taught us not to get close.You see, the Lord is selfless, right? I am so touched! I think that Buddha Shakyamuni has a great kindness to us.We read the scriptures in this way. We are chanting the "Amitabha Sutra" now, and tomorrow we chant the Buddha, we must use this kind of heart to experience...to appreciate the feelings of the Buddha, the relationship between the Buddha and us, let our heart, There is a kind of touch, a kind of closeness in our hearts. We suddenly become very close to the Buddha, as if our relatives are in peace. This is called induction, and this is called induction Daojiao.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Shuxian

(XNUMX) Learn how to interact with Amitabha

(XNUMX) Learn how to interact with Amitabha Buddha with your heart (the master of the draft has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

The induction we are talking about, the induction that our Pure Land Buddhism pursues is not called induction like that outsider said that I want to see the Buddha, see the light, and see the flowers flying around. No, the induction we are talking about is the touch of our heart. We truly I feel that Buddha Amitabha loves us very much, and we also love him very much. Know this!? This is where we want to cultivate. We don’t feel it in our hearts, right? Not touched, there is no interaction with the Three Jewels, no... not yet After receiving the blessing of the Three Jewels, we must work hard and work hard in this respect, know more about Amitabha, listen to more forty-eight vows, I have talked about it on the CD, and you can go online for free.. I provide for everyone for free, and you can learn more about him. You will get deeper and deeper with Him, and the deeper you really have Amitabha in your heart, you will feel in touch with Him, do you understand?

In this way, if you encounter a bad person or a sprite, you will immediately think of him, and you will ask Amitabha to help you and save you. It is very effective.If you are unfamiliar with him, you call him, and he can’t hear it, because you don’t want to call him. If you are unfamiliar with him, oh when this bad person comes, you will: Grandma! Those who are called mothers and those who call the sky and the earth do not think of Amitabha, and of course he will not come to save you.Some children have good roots. Some children say that they are walking at night, in secret places, they will be afraid, afraid of ghosts, if he recites Amitabha, he will not be afraid: "Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha..." He is like this Keep reading, he believes Amitabha will protect him.

And where Buddha Amitabha is light, it represents the light. You have power when you read it. Wherever Buddha Amitabha is, we can’t see it. He lives in this name. When we look for him, we say his name and we say him. He appeared immediately, but our eyes couldn't see it, but when we were reciting him, he lived in this Buddha's name because of what he said in the sutra, so we can ask Amitabha for help at any time.If you are sick or bullied, troubled, or in a bad mood, you can find Amitabha for everything, and he can take care of everything. It is not just about taking care of you to become a Buddha.

We can find Him for whatever things we require, and he will do it for you. He will do it for you. What is He.. He is the most powerful and the king among the Buddhas. What Buddha Shakyamuni told us, He It’s the king of the Buddha, why can’t there be things that can’t be done? Ask, he will come, he will have induction, you will feel that although our eyes do not see, but we ask him, ah! Strange, we What I want to ask for and what I want in my heart will soon be fulfilled. If there is a bad thing, then the big things will be small and the small things will be changed. It will become more and more auspicious. It is really incredible.You yourself, because if you get the benefits yourself, you will believe in yourself in the future, and that faith will arise from your heart, that is true faith.

You have to read first, and ask for something first. After you ask, you will know if it is effective. When it is really effective, you will really believe it. It is like this. You must read first, ask first, and then know Is it? It seems that the more you talk, the more excited it is, and it's about to make a sound.Okay, then we are almost at the time now. Let’s take a look, where we have learned now.. After learning this paragraph, let’s first read the scripture, what my master said, and then finish reading it if we can’t finish it. It’s okay if you can’t finish reading it, and I’ll read it later in a few moments: "Sariputra. I praise the incredible merits of the Buddhas. Other Buddhas and others also praised me for the incredible merits. But the words are words. Buddha Shakyamuni. What can be a rare thing. It can be in the land of Suopo. The five turbid worlds. The robbery. See the turbidity. The troubles are turbid. All beings are turbid. The fate is turbid. Get the Ahu Duola three contempt three bodhi. For all sentient beings. Say yes All the unbelievable Dharma in the world. Sariputra. Know that I am in the five turbid and evil worlds. Doing this difficult thing. Get Abu Dola Sanya Sanbodhi. To say this unbelievable Dhamma for all the world. Why is it difficult. The Buddha said this sutra. Already. Sariputra and bhikkhus. All the heavens and humans in the world, asuras and so on. Hear what the Buddha said. Rejoice and believe. Leave as a gift."

This paragraph is when Buddha Shakyamuni told us that in our world, he is called the five turbid and evil world. The environment in our world is very poor. The karma of sentient beings in this world is very heavy. What kind of persuasion you have, he is It's not easy to believe, so he said that it is very difficult for him to say... to become a Buddha in this world, or to say this pure land method.When it was over...because people in the past, when listening to the scriptures, listened to these people who were speaking by Buddha Shakyamuni, the roots of goodness were relatively deep, so in the last paragraph it said: "Sariputta and bhikkhus. Everything. Asura and others in the world. Hear what the Buddha said. Rejoice and believe. Leave as a gift.".

You just listen to it. After listening to a sutra, people will "rejoice, believe and receive." Will you be happy after hearing it? Is there? Then you are just like these gods and Sariputras, Bodhisattva, Like an Arahant, this good root is the same as this kind of good.After you listen to it, you will be happy and believe that this is the roots of many virtues and many merits.Then if you have many good roots, many merits, and have sufficient causes and conditions, you will have hope in this life that you can die, unless you don't want to go.As long as you are willing to go, everyone can become a Buddha. Don’t doubt. Doubt means less good roots. It doesn’t matter if you have to take it slowly. Anyway, I want to come first. I want to enjoy it first. We have to get rid of suffering first. Dele, come back to meet you again when you wish, it doesn't matter, we still have a chance to meet again.Okay, that's all for today's study, Amitabha!
