(XNUMX) The merits of the name Amitabha

Fellow practitioners all know that the three-time meditation conference is mainly for the benefit of the sun and the sun. In addition to the benefits of their own holders, they can also transcend the undead, such as our ancestors in the past and our long-suffering relatives. The creditor, the lonely soul without a master in the ten directions, and all the destined beings in the spiritual world.

Based on this cause and condition, I would like to mention a recent personal experience for fellow initiates as a reference.I hope that this opportunity can help fellow practitioners to participate in this three-time Fa conference, so that this transcendent merit will be as complete and extraordinary as possible.Where does the power of transcendence come from?Of course it does not come from the power of our chanting.We recite the scriptures even more familiarly. If there is no blessing of Buddha power, this undead, I am afraid that it will not go, all of them will follow you, then it will be very troublesome.

So, first of all, we have to know that we still rely XNUMX% on the power of Buddha.So how about this Buddha power to enable him to generate power? This part is where we need to use our heart.If we truly have confidence in the name of Amitabha Buddha, then even if we recite the name of Buddha, we can also produce boundless merits.If we do not have true faith in this Buddha name, then even if you yell your throat, it will be in vain.Therefore, if we understand this truth, we know that super-recommended Buddhist deeds can be effective regardless of whether they are a monk at home.Of course, if the monks do super-recommendation, on the one hand, with the merits of keeping the precepts and the solemnity of the dharma, so that the dead, and the sentient beings in the spiritual world, can be more respectful, joyful and trustworthy, then the effect of super-recommendation is of course. better.But the key lies in our confidence in the name.As long as the confidence in the name is strong enough, then the power of this induction will be very strong.

(XNUMX) Karma is entangled with creditors before the appearance of karma

Last month, I studied at the Skudai Pure Sect Society for five days with everyone.There is a volunteer Bodhisattva, Jushi Luo, who is XNUMX years old this year and is an old fellow practitioner. He is very honest. He and I have known each other about a few years ago.He is usually courageous and very determined. He will be very determined to see some small animals such as kittens and puppies die on the side of the road. He will take it back, listen to the Buddha's name, recite the three refuges, and then bury it.He is a good old man, because he is truly motivated, so he is very courageous, and he is not afraid of these sentient beings.

One day at XNUMX o'clock in the morning, he brought a group of men to see me.This man is about fifty years old.It seems that the karma is really serious before it appears.The three of us were sitting in the Buddhist hall, and the man sitting in the middle, we sat on the side.As soon as he saw me, he said that he was in great pain and asked me to help him. He also said that I might not believe what happened to him.I said it’s okay, tell him to talk about it.At that time, his mind and speech were very clear.

Then he started telling me that he had been entangled by sentient beings in the spirit world recently. The situation was so serious that he could not go to work and even had problems in his life.Even these sentient beings often have to choke him by the neck, and follow him anytime and anywhere in the daytime, and the number is very large.Then I asked him how long this happened.He said that for a long time, it was just that it was extremely serious for about half a month, and it was almost to his life. These sentient beings pestered him all the time.

So he recently went to a few Buddhist halls to ask for help, but none of them worked. Those sentient beings still followed him all the time, and it made him very unstable both physically and mentally.Then he asked me to help drive these sentient beings away.Drive them away-when I heard the word "drive away", I said no!I said that your concept is wrong and needs to be resolved.They follow you without two causes, one is to collect merit, the other is to collect debts.Then I think you are looking like you are here to collect debts. It is very painful, and that face is ugly.I will establish a correct concept with him first. I said that if you deal with him with the mentality of driving him away, you really let him drive him away, and he will come back another day. This is not a fundamental solution, so you must follow He asked for a solution.

After I clarified these concepts to him, he told me that before coming here, he went to see a male wizard.The mage promised to help him to drive him away. As a result, he only chanted two sentences. I didn't know what kind of mantra or something, but only two sentences, and the mage himself fainted on the spot.What he meant was that the power of the beings in the spirit world was too great, and the mana was too powerful, just like that kind of thousand-year old demon, vixen.He told me that it would be easy to deal with beings of ghosts and Dao, they are not ordinary beings, they are the beings who have cultivated in the spiritual realm and already have magical powers. He trembles as he talks.Alas, he made me start to get a little hairy.He asked me to deal with it, and I thought to myself: Wow, this mana is so powerful, you go to the male wizards and they have already read a few words and then fell down, you are looking for me now.When I heard him say that: Oh, it's not ordinary beings!

(XNUMX) The incredible power of confession

Not long ago, I encountered a similar situation in Yongping, but it was when I was sleeping at night, and the other party was a normal undead.At that time, I had only one Buddha name, and the sentient beings were sent away.According to the feeling, it was just a sentence, the kind of gas in the spirit world was gone, and it was originally leaning on my side.Indeed, our confidence in this Buddha name can really generate power.Because of similar experiences, I was not afraid of such things.And we also understand that with Amitabha as the backer, we are not afraid of anything, everything can be solved.

The problem is that when he said that, even the male wizards couldn't do it. In addition to his horrible expression at the time, he also told me that those sentient beings are now around and are always interfering with him anytime, anywhere.He looked restless and restless. His reaction on the spot, and when he talked about this content, I watched Luo Jushi's face turned pale.That volunteer Bodhisattva, he was very courageous, because he is very caring, and he has a good relationship with sentient beings at ordinary times, so he is basically not afraid.But when he heard such a description from the other party, and seeing his reaction, Jushi Luo was also scared.

When I saw Jushi Luo's expression also changed, I really began to worry a little bit: Oh, it's miserable, what should I do.I am really alert.Originally, I just wanted to enlighten him. It should be no problem. I am confident that the other party understands.The crux of the problem is that now is not the time to make sense, but now it is real guns and live ammunition.He said that the sentient beings were already on the scene, and finally he said: Look at you, Master, he is rushing over now!Wow, that kind of atmosphere made me suddenly feel like, really, the last time I met in Yongping was a small group, but that small group of sentient beings also felt a lot.

When he said this, the moment they rushed over, I really felt like a cold air from head to toe suddenly came oncoming and rushed over.I still have a little hairy when I talk about it now!It was the first time I encountered such a strong Yin Qi. Like many other beings in the spiritual world, some of their cultivation practiced evil methods, and they also have magical powers, but they don't have right views, so their magnetic fields are also relatively feminine.

So whether it's the beings of ghosts or beings in the spirit world, the feeling of directly rushing toward you at that time is really like what he said, this thing is not easy to handle, these beings are really powerful.But the urgent atmosphere at the time didn't give you time to think at all, and you had to deal with it immediately.At that time, there was no place to run. Besides, we couldn't run. Even if the Master runs, it's OK, then sentient beings will not be saved.

Even though I'm a bit scared, I have to pretend to be calm, and I must be in charge.The old man Luo Jushi was scared, and I really couldn't help it.When I taught him before, I asked him if he ever recites Buddhism, and he said yes.But that has... It feels like it doesn't work.I felt at the time that he didn't seem to be able to use the Buddha's name.I told him to read it to me, and he just read it, as if he had no intention of speaking and had no power.

So, when he was halfway through the conversation, he suddenly said: Ah, look, they rushed over!Come here!In such a state of emergency, I said you hurry up and put your palms together, and I will accompany you to recite the Buddha together.Because we must use this method.He didn't have confidence before. At this very moment, I told him: Read the Buddha quickly and I will accompany you.Because he didn't have the power, I would accompany him to recite, and that Jushi Luo also followed me.The three of us put our hands together, and we chanted "Nammo Amitabha" with our full attention, and we chanted loudly.Then he... When we just read, he was very uncomfortable, because those sentient beings are leaping at him, not at me, but it's like a cold air blowing, and you will also feel the cold air around you.Those sentient beings rushed at him, he was very painful, and his whole person was about to collapse.

The three of us urgently put our palms together and desperately chanted, as if we were fighting.You see that fighting like this in the movie, that kind of scene is very nervous and very lifelike.At that time, I actually didn't have time to be afraid, because there was no time to think, you had only one way, no choice.At that moment, it reminded me, Master Shandao, he persuaded us to recite the Buddha and have the confidence to seek death.The mentality of chanting Buddha is like a Buddhist chanting in Erhe Baidao. His current mood is that we have no way to go. The chasing soldiers have already come, and the grievances and creditors are already approaching. Don’t you hurry forward. Chong, relying on this Buddha's name, we also have a dead end!It’s too late to walk too slowly!In that mood, the beings of this ghost way and this spirit world are forcing them over, so the three of us quickly use this Buddha's name to fight him.We can't talk about confrontation, it should be resistance, because we don't have the idea of ​​opposing him.But you rushed over. We have to resist and resolve.

After three to five minutes of the big idea, his whole person slowly calmed down.Originally, the whole person's head kept shaking, and then his hands kept scratching his face and head, which looked really terrifying.So we all read very loudly, the more we read, the louder, we really tried desperately.After three or five minutes, he started to calm down.After I stabilized, I quickly took that opportunity, and I said: You are now kneeling in front of the Buddha and begging for repentance with them in your heart, and recite the Buddha aloud with repentance.Then he asked me: How to repent?He will not.I told him that it was okay and I would read it with him.

First of all, I first helped them to receive three refuges, because at that time the tension eased slightly.But in my heart, I wanted to further and completely resolve it. I just stayed down first, and the nervous situation stayed down first. The matter has not been resolved yet!When he said that he didn't know how to repent, I suddenly thought of it, and said: Okay, I will help you to take refuge, and I will help you to receive the three refuges with these sentient beings.I didn't have this idea before, my mind was blank.I took them to recite, and at the same time, I also asked for repentance for him and these sentient beings.Because he can't speak, I will speak for him.

At the same time, I also persuaded those sentient beings. I said, "Today you are able to come here because of his fate. You can come here to receive the three refuges. You have become official disciples of the Buddha. As a disciple of the Buddha, you cannot have grudges Yes, it must be resolved. When is the time to repay the grievances, as long as you are really willing to resolve them, you can still survive to the bliss world and be completely liberated by today’s causes and conditions.” I just talked about some truths and persuaded them, and it was very Stern, my tone is very severe.

(XNUMX) The mighty power of the name of Amitabha

As a result, at this time, it was almost half past eight, and the president who was coming to pick me up was waiting downstairs.A female layman walked up.In fact, she has already seen this scene.But we are already teaching these three conversions to this undead, she has seen it all.Then she came over too, she wanted to come over to me, she wanted to get closer and see clearly, but she couldn't come.

This was when I had breakfast afterwards. She told me that she felt that there was a force blocking it, as if there were many sentient beings around me.That female layman is also from Skudai, a member of this magic weapon group.She said that she is usually very sensitive, and she knows all sentient beings.She felt that she was going to my side as soon as she came up, and she couldn't get close when she was halfway there. She felt the pores all over her body were erected, so she stood far away and watched us finish the whole process.

After taking the three refuges, I followed the man, and I said to him, "You continue to kneel and recite the Buddha, with your sincere heart. You have also heard clearly what I just told you, and ask them for it. Dissolve the heart, recite the Buddha title sincerely, give them a dedication, and send them to the world of bliss." Then he was also very obedient, because I was equivalent to helping him through the thrilling stage of the scene just now.

Maybe on the spot, what if something happens to him?He said that the mage fainted!So it was a frightening experience, so he was very obedient.I said you just continue to kneel and read.Then we went down for breakfast.I'm done with my business, I'll go down for breakfast.I told Jushi Luo, you stay with him.Naruto was very honest, and he was standing by the side.Then he knelt there and continued to read.Then we went to have breakfast.

(XNUMX) Amitabha blessed the lotus platform to die

After eating breakfast, it took about an hour or so, because the president also asked me about my situation just now, and I also told him about it.Then when I came back, as soon as I entered the Buddhist hall, I saw him kneeling there and chanting.For more than an hour, he really honestly prayed for confession and recitation over there.As a result, as soon as I came in, I happened to see him waving both hands continuously, like this, while chanting Buddha.Read it, and then suddenly waved like this again.I just saw: Strange, what is he doing again?

When Jushi Luo saw my expression, he immediately walked over and explained to me.He said that he has raised his hands and waved like this several times just now.That Luo Jushi also asked him: What are you doing?He told me, and he told him: He saw a batch of sentient beings, happily went to the Paradise of Elysium, sat in the lotus, and waved goodbye to him.Then, the two sides thanked each other, and the atmosphere was very peaceful.Wow, so outstanding!And several times!He said batch after batch.

I have also heard of a mage before, who is also transcending the undead. It is also said that they are batch after batch, different parties, different sentient beings, some are beasts, some are ghosts, some are immortals, and batch after batch.Wow, then of course I am relieved after listening.Because I thought something happened to him again, that's how it would be fine.

(XNUMX) Joyful chanting of Buddha's body and mind transformation

I entered the squatter.Later, the wife of the president who was with us, they usually practice together, and make offerings at XNUMX:XNUMX every morning.Then, he kept kneeling over there and chanted the Buddha, and when he recited the noon offering, he also attended the noon offering with them, chanting an Amitabha Sutra and circling the Buddha.From beginning to end, wow, his whole popularity has turned around!Think about it. Go at XNUMX o'clock in the morning and we will deal with him. At about XNUMX:XNUMX, he will start chanting the Buddha with all his heart. He will attend the lunch offering until XNUMX:XNUMX, and it will be XNUMX noon until the end.In the past few hours, if he hadn't been stable, he couldn't stay, his mood had stabilized, and his expression was very peaceful.

Because when he first came in, at around XNUMX o'clock in the morning, he mentioned to me that he couldn't do it when he got a job now, and his life became a problem.So I told the president, I said: see if you can help him.Next is your business!It has nothing to do with me, I am a monk!I can't help with these things!The president said that he could be a volunteer with him, and then he could give him a little money and let him live a life.

Then later, they went to talk.I was supposed to have dinner with them.I said: No need, just go, and the rest is your business!Then, the chairman told me that after lunch, they came back after lunch and told me that they had a good conversation, and that person said that he would come back again.Therefore, this matter can be regarded as a successful conclusion, with surprises and no dangers.


Respectful excerpts from disciple Liming~~ (Approved by Master Renjing)

(XNUMX) Sincerely, everything about chanting the Buddha's name has been successfully resolved

At that time, what he described was the sentient beings we encountered this time, indeed, they seemed to be different from ordinary ghosts.Because the sentient beings of the ghost way, the old monk also said that the sentient beings of the ghost way are better than human beings, as long as he has a relationship with us, he is asking us to help him.As long as you are willing to help him, it is too late for him to be happy.

Therefore, as long as the beings of the ghost road are predestined, it is not difficult for us to help them, and nothing will happen.But think about it, even this kind of people who have been cultivated to become refined, wow, he said tens of thousands, infinitely boundless.He can feel the number of people involved, and that some undead things that we often hear are also countless and incalculable to describe.Because beings in the spirit world don't have physical bodies, they are just like gas, a mass of gas. 

So for the person involved, it can be felt that there is really a lot of gas.There are so many in number like this, and then, he himself has practiced cultivation, and even such sentient beings, when we are full of praise for this Buddha name, it is also immediately and satisfactorily resolved.This confirms us. The true scripture says that there is nothing that can't be solved with this Buddha's name. It depends on whether we have confidence.At that time, we were able to deal with it like this, and the curtain ended smoothly, thanks to our usual confidence in this Buddha's name.

Besides, you had no choice at the time, wow, that really, you have to face it!If we don't handle it well, then we might have an accident!is not it?He also said beforehand: Oh, the male wizard fell down after reading a few words.It is really, really a little nervous, a little hairy, but there is no chance for you to think, because his whole actions, horrible reactions, let you have no time to think.That is to say, in that state, that power is also great, and we face this matter single-mindedly.

(XNUMX) Different minds inspire different magnetic fields

So from this incident, what happened last month, we can know that when we are determined to save the souls, or we ourselves, encounter similar causes and fate, the family and creditors have come to the door, and we can do this. To deal with it, we must truly have confidence in this Buddhist name.Like me, I used to think in my mind so often that I would tell those sentient beings, don't come to me, go directly to Amitabha if you have a predestined condition.Because everyone's vows are different, my vows are to preach and speak, follow the footsteps of the Blessed One, follow the footsteps of our old monks, and preach.

Then the old monk also mentioned that he has a co-counsel, and he is also very compassionate and very motivated, so his wishes are different.He devotes himself to cultivating supernatural powers, and wants to save the beings of the ghost way.But, he really trained him in three years.The old monk said, you should have all heard it, you can really see the ghosts, and you can communicate with them.But, on the other hand, his co-partner, his whole person really looks more and more like a ghost, his complexion is ugly, because he often interacts with those sentient beings.So of course it depends on everyone's wishes.I didn't have this wish. If it was predestined with us, we would persuade him to go directly to the world of bliss. This is the most complete.

The last time I came here, I heard that we have a fellow practitioner here, more lovely, a female group, I don’t know where it is... She actually told me, she has a dojo at home, and her own. Small Buddha Hall.Then, every day I practice with the beings of the ghost way.So some fellow practitioners here know, oh, she is behind, I saw it.And so the fellow practitioners here also know that sometimes she will talk to sentient beings, or she will tell what she sees, what... these things.After some fellow practitioners listened, they felt uncomfortable, because others didn't see it and listened to you all day long, and then everyone felt uncomfortable.

Later, she told me about her, I told her, and I persuaded her, why did you make this wish?What are you doing with a ghost dojo at home?After a long time, you yourself have become suspicious. People don’t look like humans and ghosts don’t look like ghosts. Then it’s troublesome!And the fellow practitioners around you, you have to know that we are now human beings, and that we have to cultivate together with others as human beings!It's not about cultivating with ghosts.That motivation is very good, but it is also compassionate and benefits all beings.But, we want to benefit the ghosts, not to keep him by your side!It's not good for you, and it's not perfect for them, so I have to persuade them to live in the Pure Land.Otherwise, there are more and more followers of ghosts, I am afraid you will be exhausted in the future!Right? These ghostly beings follow you all day long. They are sulky and not very good. There are human beings and ghosts and ghosts. They all go their own way!This is correct.

So make a vow not to send it indiscriminately, especially our women.why?Of course we cannot exclude any sentient beings.However, as far as we females are concerned, ghosts beings, we females are more afraid of yin qi, and their bodies are weaker. In terms of physique, the innate physique is like this, so try to avoid it.So basically, throughout my practice, I rarely respond to these kinds of sentient beings. I usually feel the karma of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the karma of good knowledge, these many, many inductions.Then there are very few such sentient beings.

Only when I, that is, three years ago, after I truly developed faith in this Buddha name, and then I started to be outside for the past two years, that is, to form a bond with everyone, then it is possible that sentient beings will come to the door.It was the time in Yongping, and this time, that is especially predestined to us!If we really make this wish, there may be many reasons for this.However, we didn't make this wish, but we did it as we wish. You can't come and ignore him, and it won't work either.This is for your reference!Sooner or later, we will also meet our grievances and creditors, or our ancestors, come to us for help.They will come to you when they have supernatural powers in your studies, and they know your practice and can really help them.At this time, you can rest assured to deal with the situation. This is based on the power of Amitabha, not our power.

(XNUMX) Eighteen vows, nineteen vows, and twenty-one vows are for the three kinds of good roots and virtues of different beings

Okay, today we will continue to study the vows behind the XNUMX vows of the Immeasurable Life Sutra.Last time we were at the Weide Hotel, we have learned the previous XNUMX wishes.From the content of the twenty-first vows, many fellow practitioners have developed absolute confidence in the rebirth of Buddha in this life.So at the same time, we have been able to feel a more cordial feeling about the name that we usually call, and we can call it more joyously.So as long as we are, then we only need to continue to maintain confidence in this Buddhist name, and then continue to improve, through the study of related classics, and our own continuous, always dedicated to this name, our confidence is not the moment. Retreat, and will increase in thoughts, this I can also be a testimony.

I myself three years ago, after I truly developed confidence, I have indeed not retreated until now, and I have grown day by day, which can be said to be growing day by day.Because I don’t leave the scriptures every day, and I don’t leave the Buddha every day!As long as there is practice and practice, there will be induction and blessing, and it will really grow every day.Then this faith arises and does not retreat at the moment, this is also testified by scriptures, and there is an explanation from the patriarch.This is not our own imagination: Well, I believe I will not retreat.It’s not what we thought of ourselves, but the ancestor told us about it.It is true that after we listened, we ourselves really felt that we were not going back.So next, we want to continue to study these vows, which can help us continue to improve this confidence.

Among the first twenty-one vows, the most important one talks about how to generate faith in the rebirth, as well as the practice of mastering this faith and vow and mastering the cause of the rebirth.His main vows are on the XNUMXth vow, the XNUMXth vow and the XNUMXst vow.These three parts are aimed at beings with three different root natures, so there are these three different methods of practice and different standards for rebirth.Everyone's good roots, merits, and karma are different in depth!

The deeper the root of goodness, the more deeply rooted, according to the eighteenth vow, XNUMX% at the moment, relying on the power of the Buddha, can truly believe in the earnest vow, after that, as long as the name is always read, the believer now corresponds to the eighteenth vow.This eighteenth vow is also recognized by Goode. Among the forty-eight vows, the most core vow is truly a pure pure land practice.If we can truly respond to the rebirth practice of the eighteenth vow, what does it mean to respond-I saw it, and I believe it.Believe what, believe that we are going to die, it's really that simple!It depends on the power of Buddha!It has nothing to do with myself.This letter, you can truly believe it in your heart, and then you are really willing to make a wish, because you feel that this world is not worthy of nostalgia.After your true wish occurs, initiates, and your faith is fulfilled, you can now say that your death has been decided and you will not retreat. It's that simple.And you, the person who truly arises, will naturally become more and more fond of chanting Buddha every day in the following days.This chanting of Buddha is not a necessary condition!It’s not like, oh, how many Buddha titles you have to recite and how much kung fu you have to practice.No, you will naturally rejoice.Why do you miss it?Because you have decided to die right now, so you are grateful, you are satisfied, and your heart is at ease. You naturally want to recite the Buddha's name.Living every day is like living in the blissful world: mood, as if in the blissful world; body shape, more and more like Buddhas and Bodhisattvas; the world's chores, naturally, will always want to let go.There will be such a change.

For some people, their roots are based on good roots and merits. They are not so deep and not so extraordinary. They may respond to the nineteenth wish.I think it is not safe to rely XNUMX% on Buddha power, so I still add a little bit of my own strength, so I practice the six paramita, be firm and unrelenting, and return to the roots of goodness.It's okay to follow this wish, but it's more difficult.That's harder, it's better than if you don't fix it!Because if you don't believe in the eighteen vows, then you won't practice this method, that's a pity.Therefore, Amitabha is merciful!You don’t want to give up any sentient being, and there is the standard of nineteen wishes.What about this content, what's the difference?We have talked about a few previous wishes, and there are also CD-ROMs in circulation, so fellow practitioners can watch them by themselves.

What about twenty-one wishes?That is, another kind of root mechanism is even worse, repentance and wish for life, in fact, has created five evils and ten evils, sinful karma, this kind of sentient beings.Then according to this wish, Amitabha gave it to him.

So after studying here, we already know that there are three different standards of practice, and the wishes for sentient beings with different root mechanisms.

(XNUMX) There is no wish for women in the country-the habit of women's retribution

Next, the wish we have to learn is for women.Women are also the root cause of profound karma!The last time I talked about this paragraph, in another society, it was almost full on the first day and the second day!It’s because I've talked about it once before, and many fellow practitioners have formed a relationship with the Fa.On the second day, it was mentioned that there are no women in this country, and that women have heavy karma. It may be unpleasant to hear that. On the third day, all the women ran away and all men were left. The last two women were volunteers. Can't run.

Then, when they had supper in the evening, the finance man told me and comforted me, he was afraid that my heart would be moved.I said: Why did the women run away?Oh, Master, maybe what you said yesterday was too heavy!Girls always feel uncomfortable after hearing this!The curse is so ugly.Then I'm also a woman, I'm just telling the truth!Then I said: It’s okay, it’s okay, I don’t mind.Fortunately the women came back on the third day.

What does this mean? A woman really has a lot of karma, and she has trouble listening to the scriptures!It happened that everyone had things that day, and we couldn't come. We really thought that when we finished talking about the country, there were no women's wishes. It was true that our country, the real women were all gone. This is karma, and the karma is here.

Like we have another fellow practitioner, wow, then his blessing is great!For ten consecutive days, I talked in two dojos, one dojo for five days, and he drove away no matter how far away, he drove for more than an hour to listen to the sutras, without interruption for ten consecutive days.There are also wives and children in the family, but they don't worry about him, and he has such a big blessing.Then he was also motivated. He had heard about Xunxiu and increased his confidence. He already had faith in his death.The last time he talked about it, he had already believed in it, so when he came to listen to it was a solemn dojo, he would naturally devote himself to the solemn dojo, and then on the one hand, he often continued to cultivate, not to join in, but to report every day.

But the women are different!Look at the female audience. No one is gone the next day. They are gone.We thought that the finances, he thought too much, he wanted to comfort me!It just reminds me not to use that heavy language next time, so I might keep a little bit today!Don't say it so white!Otherwise, wait for the women to run away again.

Okay, let’s read a scripture first. This is in the third line of page XNUMX: "When I was a Buddha, there was no woman in the country. If a woman hears my name, he will send a pure letter. The man came to me to seduce the earth in the ten directions. All sentient beings in our country are all in the Seven Treasure Pond and the lotus flower.

Okay, let's see this paragraph first.There are three wishes in this paragraph: twenty-two "no woman in the country", twenty-three "misogynistic to male", and twenty-four "Lianhua Huasheng Wishes".Why did Amitabha Buddha make these vows-there is no woman in the country?Because we women, this sacrificial body, in itself, represents troubles and represents more serious karma.I need to be careful with my words now.I can give an example now. This is what the Tao Xuan lawyer said, not me!He said, "In the world of ten directions, where there is a woman, there is hell." Wow, that's really heavy!But, let's really calmly think about it and face reality!

Really, after all, women have a lot of influence.Look at that Wu Sangui, who led the Qing soldiers into the customs for Chen Yuanyuan!We must open the gate of the city to save her!A kabuki!Since ancient times, there have been people who only love beauty but not the country!Are women influential?So if you meet this woman who is more general and virtuous, like Mencius's mother, then of course you can cultivate a saint.We have a lot of disciples' teachers here. Of course, you are not from that group. The more karma-stricken group may be about to turn male.After all, there are really not many women we have seen since ancient times, who are truly virtuous and able to do great things.

The characteristics of most women, this is what we can see physically and mentally, the body-this physical strength is not as good as that of men, and there are physical pains every month. If some people become pregnant or have children, wow, that is even more painful!That kind of pain, this is the torture of the body and mind!Karma, right?You will feel pain, some children in life have to have a knife, not another knife, right?This is a manifestation of a kind of karma!What about psychology?That is more complicated.We in Buddhism have a sutra called "Bhikkhuni Sutra of Great Love", you can go and see if you have the opportunity.Women go and take a look. Eighty-four feminine attitudes, such as jealousy, stingy, selfish, possessive, dependent... dependent on men, no men will die or not survive.It seems that it will always be like something-Adam and Eve, it seems that they must be made together to be complete, otherwise it seems that there is only an apple, and I don't understand it. Anyway, it means incomplete. It seems that it must be a man and a woman to become complete. This The concepts are all wrong.

So some people, some people say something, they came to the world in this life just to find the other half, and they have this concept.In our Dharma, it's not.Every sentient being has equal and independent Buddha nature!It didn't say that you need to depend on a man to be complete and become a complete individual!But a woman has this trait. She is naturally dependent on you. It seems that she must marry a husband and dress up all day long, all to please him.Oh, I don’t have myself anymore!Really, are many of them like this?Then this is indeed a karma!

Well, we women, if you have the opportunity to read this sutra, the "Da Ai Dao Bhikkhuni Sutra" can be read by the layman.Take a look and check if you have this habit.Men can also watch it, but if you are not married, you may not dare to get married; if you are married, there is no way, you will recognize it.It's better not to be optimistic, otherwise you will get more and more bitter: Oh, how can I take this woman home!I'm kidding.Maybe your wife is very good!If you marry, just think about paying off your debts!

(XNUMX) The country has no wish for a woman-to be called a Buddha, and when one's righteous life ends, he turns to a man

Huang Nianzu, an old layman, quoted the Master Shandao in a section of the concept method. He said: "It is the Amitabha's original wish, so the woman calls the name of the Buddha. When the righteous life is over, she turns her body into a man. Follow the Buddha

Because Amitabha's power to make these vows, when we are dying, he can immediately turn into a manhood.We also often hear the facts of koan that a certain person passed away, and then his family saw him come to ask for a dream, or when his heart was quiet, he showed him the situation. The deceased was originally a layman, but after he passed away he turned into a monk. And it's the male appearance, but the face has not changed. He makes you recognize it. We really hear a lot of this example.So at the end of the day, when Amitabha Buddha's light shines, all the karma is eliminated, including this woman, and the sacrificial body with heavier karma is also turned right now.There is another discourse saying: "If all women are not due to the power of Amitabha's name and power, those who have thousands of calamities, Ganges sand and other calamities, will not be able to turn to their female bodies, such as Shakyamuni, and the Bodhisattva's path. 』

Wow, look!If we did not rely on Amitabha, the blessing of this wish, even Sakyamuni Buddha, who walks the path of the Bodhisattva, would have to accumulate a large amount of karma for the A Sangha before he could gradually turn away from this female body.Well, if it were us, I am afraid it would be a thousand calamities, the Ganges sand robbery, and eventually would not be able to turn the female body, and it would not be possible to turn around for such a long time.Then he said: "Such as Shakyamuni, the Bodhisattva's Dao accumulates and a large monk, who only robs and cultivates and gradually leaves the female body."

That's because he is already in the realm of Dharmakaya, so he can gradually cultivate diligently.We are ordinary people!Therefore, there is no merit at all, and there is no way to truly achieve merit, so there is no way to turn a female body into a woman.There is no way to turn the female body, but there is no way to eliminate the karma!Simply put, this karma is very serious and there is no way to eliminate it.So we women, it's possible to hear it here, it's a little uncomfortable.Some people still think that I really like being a woman; some people still make a wish that I want to be a woman all my life, and there are also such people.When the Blessed One was alive, he was scolded by the Blessed One: foolishness!Make this wish!Be a woman from life to life.She said that this is better and it is easier to save sentient beings.

You see, when I said something, the man listened to it very well.They just think: Wow, women like this are very influential!That's actually just in front of you!Often, between men and women.Why are there no women in Elysium?There is also a reason: men and women, getting along is easy to produce love.So you are saying: Well, if you want to save sentient beings, it is better to save with a female body. Maybe you save it once, and then you save it for others, and save them to hell.Because of this emotion, yourself, this is a kind of hard to avoid, hard to avoid.

So what does the old monk Guangqin say?He said, even if you are in your seventies or eighties, you still have to keep a distance when you meet the opposite sex, at least a hundred steps.Wow, this is here to be alert, to help us be alert!So I sometimes remind laymen, don’t think that you are laymen. If you don’t observe this precept, our precepts are very strict and set very carefully. We definitely cannot separate men and women. Talking is impossible, alone. If it doesn't work, just avoid it and don't think you are really determined.With this startless robbery, you can't do anything about karma, the wrongdoer, and the creditor.The same goes for the layman!Is the layman better?no!So be sure to keep your distance.You can keep the precept of not being adulterous.Don’t learn Buddhism and have some emotional entanglements with fellow Daoists. This is not good.

There are also some men, too, and some young people now become monks. He also feels that he is already a monk. That is even more dangerous.He felt that I was a monk with a big heart, so he thought that there would be no problem, especially in mainland China. Nowadays, many women are rich, rich and free!Then, looking at the men in the world, it seems that they are not very reliable, so this object, the idea was hit on the monks.Go specifically to find, get close to the master, the young master, invite them to eat, support, and get close.

Then these bhikkhus did not know whether they lived or died, they were very motivated and pure at first, it didn't matter, take this opportunity to save them.Of course, at the beginning of the women, Lay, she did not dare to say that she was sick!It’s just that it’s really boring, and men in the world are unreliable. Master is more able to conjure up... Wait, more trustworthy.Under such an idea of ​​each other often interact.We really saw these male bhikkhus trying to save these female laymen, but in the end they were really saved and returned home.This is that we have recently seen many cases of this kind.So, don't be careless!

(XNUMX) Twenty-five Vows: Heaven and Man’s Respect Vows; Twenty-six Vows: Famous Blessing Vows; Twenty-seven Vows: Cultivation is Better

Okay, then let’s continue to read the next passage: "When I was a Buddha, when I was a Buddha, when I heard my name, all sentient beings rejoiced, believed and happy, worshipped my destiny, practiced bodhisattva with a pure heart. If you do not get enlightenment, you will be better than brahman

Okay, let's see this paragraph first.These few wishes are made for another kind of beings.The object of this contract is the weakest type of people in Sangenford.When he heard the name, he did not arouse the heart to demand the birth of bliss.Maybe there are people like this around us. If you persuade him to go to Paradise, he said: No!I can recite Buddha!But I will come to be a man in my next life and enjoy my blessings!Or to do charity, follow Master Cheng Yen!In fact, this is not bad, and it has its own reasons.

But let's analyze it objectively, this kind of people have relatively poor roots, and Zhangenfud is not so profound.So after he smelled the name, he was also happy, but he still hadn't been able to mature enough, and the cause was mature enough that he initiated a wish to become a Buddha, and he still wanted to ask for blessings in the world.Then the Buddha doesn't abandon this kind of people. He won't say: If you are not in the same way as me, I will reject you. You and I are not in the same country, and we will go on our own.Not like the people of our world, He will still give him, make a vow for him, first get this fate, or bless him.So these three vows were issued: twenty-five "Vows for the Respect of Heaven and Man", twenty-six "Vows for Famous Blessings", and twenty-seven "Vows for Cultivation and Victory".

Respect to heaven and man is this name, and as long as you hear this name, you can arouse respect.You can develop respect. Even if you don't live in the bliss, you will definitely be able to develop respect. Then you will follow the teachings and continue to recite the Buddha.Then in the next life, you can also feel blessed, as you wish, and if you practice your special wishes, you can still smell the Dharma and let you continue to practice!For one lifetime and one lifetime, Amitabha blessed you, and you can continue to bless you in the next life, through the Buddha's name.Until your good roots, merits, and karma are mature, you will naturally have a desire to become a Buddha.But when will it arise?do not know.Therefore, this kind of people have relatively poor roots, but Amitabha is still right to bless you, and will not make you degenerate in the next life.So if you really recite the Buddha, don’t be afraid. In the next life, the reward will be great.

But the good fortune is great. If you don’t know how to use it wisely, then there is also a misfortune hidden in the good fortune!It is also very dangerous. I am afraid that it is difficult to avoid the three generations' grievances. The rewards are great and the karma is created, and the karma is degenerate, and directly fall to hell. The XNUMXth floor has opportunities, so be careful!This blessing is not necessarily a good thing.

But if you really want to recite the Buddha honestly, you will definitely feel that the next life will not be a small blessing, but a great blessing, so we must continue to send this special wish for us!If there is no chance to hear the Dharma, your blessing will be miserable!It's really, it's really the cause of your depravity.So you see Amitabha's vision is really thoughtful.In Huang Nianzu's commentary, he also made an analysis and generalization of the vows we have learned before, about the objects and practices of this different opportunity for death, and they are the same as what we have mentioned.

Before we started with the first wish, we had XNUMX, XNUMX, and XNUMX wishes, as well as the few wishes we just learned, all of which are consistent.He said that the eighteenth vow before the forty-eight vows, ten thoughts must be born, is the rebirth, the positive cause, and the core of the forty-eight vows.This is what Huang Nianzu said in the commentary, and it is the same as what we have been emphasizing.The eighteen vows are the core and the cause of death.The core practice of our true survival in the Pure Land is the eighteen vows.

The nineteenth vow and the twentieth vow are the broadening of the eighteenth vow.He said something like this: expand it, if you want to believe in the eighteenth, then you can cultivate according to the nineteenth wish, but it still has faith and willingness to walk in it, but it becomes a two-person force.And to expand, the twenty-first vow specifically refers to sentient beings with evils and repentance to achieve the vow of life. This is the same as what we said before.The twenty-third wish refers specifically to women, who are known for their pure faith, who can develop bodhicitta, survive in the pure land, and eventually turn into men.This is what we just learned, and it specifically refers to beings like women, who have more serious karma.Then he made a summary. He said: The above-mentioned types have many roots and deep roots. They are all inspired by being famous and reborn in the pure land. They are for the benefit of those who are above, that is to say, what we have learned before. Hope, this kind of sentient beings.Of course, good roots have deep and shallow roots, but they are all regarded as medium-to-high roots.

So here, what we have learned in this passage, and this passage, will show the following.That is to say, what I just said, alas, after listening to the sermon, after being famous, there is no desire for rebirth, so the next life will only be able to feel some blessings.Old layman Huang Nianzu said that this type of person is a poorer and a poorer root player.He said: "The roots of all living beings are not the same, so the well-known faith, happiness, and heart are not the same, either because the big heart is not firm, because the faith is not deep, or because the longing is not specific. It’s impossible to get rid of life and death in this world, but you can only get the blessings in the present and in the next life. The benefits are not as many as before.” This is what Huang Nianzu said in the commentary.What is the reason?There is no way to initiate the heart to survive.It's because, maybe it's because he believes in him or not!There is no true faith and wish!There is no way to be like us, alas, to believe in the eighteenth wishes very much.Believe that this belief can't really arise, or it's because you are not professional. If you are not expert in miscellaneous practice, it means you don't really believe in aspirations.If you really believe in it, you must be a major.

Therefore, what he said is relative, either because of his belief that the wish is not deep, or his mind is not expert, so he cannot fully comprehend Amitabha's ten-mindful aspiration, and there is no way to conform to this eighteenth vow, the core. This wish.This is because the root device is different, which is very clear.So in the forty-eight vows, there are so many ways to rebirth, and the cultivation methods are different in order to fit the sentient beings with different roots.Then the most outstanding and core thing is the eighteenth wish.Which one do you want to fix?Eighteen wishes!right?They all look smart!It seems that they are almost enlightened.

Smart people will choose XNUMX wishes!Don't choose nineteen, but you must rely on yourself. How tired to rely on yourself!Where can I rely on my own insurance!right?And we are really powerless!Master Yinguang said: What kind of power we have is only karma since the beginning of calamity.This is true, don't say that you think you really have any abilities.From this wish, we can also see that Amitabha's mind is really great. He persuades us to die!But don’t you listen!You don't want to ask!It's okay, I don't mind, I'll give you what you want.If you want blessings, okay, it doesn’t matter, you still have a good relationship with you first, and slowly wait until one day when you are willing to make a wish to survive, then you will be fulfilled.

This shows that Amitabha’s mind is not like the sentient beings in our world. We really have to study hard.If we persuade others to refuse to listen, we will turn our face with him, or we will draw a clear line.In this case, we cannot truly consummate our bodhisattva way and our buddha way.We must make good destiny widely. He is different from our practice now and has a different concept. It doesn't matter. He still makes good destiny, then wait, and don't force it.Wait, wait for him to mature.We can help from the side, for example: alas, we have to persuade friends and family members to come to Buddha and practice together.What should I do if I can’t persuade?Okay, don't contact me from now on!This person has no good roots, we must get close to good knowledge, and we do not associate with people who do not practice.is this correct?wrong.Of course you can't come and go frequently. He doesn't practice, let's not waste a lot of time. He likes to dance and sing. We can't accompany him!But you still have to keep in touch, occasionally greet and care, and then wait for him to mature. That's right.

Look, Amitabha Buddha will be made for us to see!So this, this in our lives, we have to learn now.This concept has to be established first, and then put into practice, you will slowly, and you can make good destinies.It is good, of course, you don’t need to persuade him, he has matured, you tell him, he immediately: ah, let's go to cultivating together!We are like-minded; however, many of us cannot be persuaded.How to do?You have to use this attitude, don't be anxious, don't panic, don't turn your face, that won't work, you must put this seed down first, and first get our CD-ROM with him.Because he doesn't listen!If you persuade him, if he doesn't listen, then simply give him the CD-ROM, and he will watch it if there is a reason!

Try to plant a seed with him first, and it will mature one day.

Game XNUMX (End)
