(XNUMX) If you recite the Buddha honestly, you will be able to become a Buddha

Respected Chairman Wang is merciful, and respected all the great virtues and fellow practitioners, good evening everyone, Amitabha.

Today is the fourth day of our lecture.Before we start studying the scriptures, I want to tell you something in Hokkien...because I saw an old Bodhisattva a few days ago, and she came to listen to the scriptures every day.Actually, I don’t speak Hokkien well. You knew it when you heard it just now, but that’s my heart!Please bear with me a little bit, because this old Bodhisattva really moved me.She reports every day and listens every day...As long as I see her listening to the scriptures, I look very happy, because she is very respectful and attentive, and she keeps nodding her head.As a result, do you know? This old Bodhisattva, she can't understand Mandarin at all, she can only understand Hokkien, and her response to the scriptures is so good and respectful, as if she can understand every word. It really came to the solemn dojo.

As for this old Bodhisattva, the last time I came was about five or six months ago, and we met at that time.She was originally arranged by her son-in-law to invite me to dinner.Many of her son and daughter-in-law worked together here, and these children and grandchildren were very filial.But this old Bodhisattva, she usually recites this name, the holy name of the Bodhisattva does not matter.If you hear Amitabha, you will be afraid and dare not to recite it. So her children and grandchildren hope to tell her to see if I have this cause, and they will invite me to dinner.As a result, the old Bodhisattva sat next to me and only said a few words to her. She immediately turned around. She was so scared that she didn't dare to read it. She didn't even dare to read it.I just talked about it. I told her you just read a sentence to me now, and she will read it right away, so the concept will be turned around immediately, and it is good enough to teach.I have studied Buddhism for so long, and I have never seen such a good student.Really turn around. It’s not about socializing with us, it’s not.

As a result, two days later, she brought her son-in-law to invite me to dinner, and then she said she wanted to take refuge.So last time we were almost here. We sat full, never been so full. There were still many people who took refuge and received the Five Precepts. It can be said that this is entirely due to her, and she initiated it.Because she asks for the three refuges, so we want to say that we follow this cause and we will hold the refuge here.As a result, everyone was very happy to take refuge on the last day. There were also many people who signed up to receive the five precepts. At first, only two people signed up, but in the end many people took the five precepts.So this is indeed the beginning, and she has given a lot of credit for initiating it.

There is also that she is afraid of Amitabha's name.Afterwards, I went to a lot of places about this problem, and then I realized that many old Bodhisattvas have this kind of misunderstanding.Asking them to recite Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva will not be afraid and still be very happy. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is very merciful and compassionate. If we have any suffering, we will call upon him to come. Everyone likes to recite Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.But if I hear about Buddha Amitabha, I want to say whether someone in my family is going to die, or what, it seems unlucky to hear it.It’s not auspicious, so I don’t like to listen. Sometimes I’m scared when I hear it. This impression is completely wrong.This concept, many people are like this!Therefore, based on her cause and condition, I also explained this in particular. In the future, when the optical discs are distributed, many old bodhisattvas will feel at ease.

Because our method, to be honest, to be successful, we still have to rely on these old bodhisattvas, and these old bodhisattvas are best taught to be honest.If you look at this rebirth biography, it is still true that the old bodhisattvas who have seen and heard the real rebirth signs are the old bodhisattvas. On the contrary, nine out of ten young people are sick, and they can be reborn as "Amitabha Buddha" and work very hard.Unless it is to hear about Master Shandao’s enlightenment, of course it will be thousands of people to go.As long as you make a wish, anyone can become a Buddha.But if you haven't heard of Master Shandao's enlightenment, nine out of ten will not be able to die, because it is true that the karma is very heavy, and the body will not be well if you are sick. What is the cause of cancer now, weird, many.When we people are sick and suffering, of course our confidence is weak. In addition, we thought that we must die well in the past and we must practice kung fu well, so of course we will lose confidence!Since there is no confidence that it is possible to die, it is sure that there is no way to die.

So this old Bodhisattva, if we help her to establish her concept well, they will be more diligent and honest in recitation of Buddha than we are, and it will be easier to perceive them.Because in fact, for our practice, to regenerate into a Buddha, and to achieve this practice successfully, the most important thing is not to be smart, or to be blessed, or to say how good kung fu is, no! The only condition is to be honest.To have good roots, to have merit, this is the most important condition.What is good root?If you meet and tell her, she believes it, she doesn't doubt it, and people who doubt it a lot have no good roots.Are young people very skeptical?The smarter the person, the more doubtful it is!

We thought, with the wisdom of our ordinary people, our eyes would not be able to see it just by looking at the next door. What power do we ordinary people have? We also want to doubt what the Buddha said. Is this ridiculous?This is karma, pride and self-righteousness. I don't know how to say this in Hokkien. I am self-righteous, so I am more suspicious. This is karma.On the contrary, the old Bodhisattva listens to what you say to him, so I like to be with the old Bodhisattva, it is very relaxing, and there is no need to explain for a long time.

I have been the same for the past few years, and my karma is very heavy, so other sects: Tiantai Sect, Huayan Sect, Weishi... Some of these are not, and I have studied them.When researching, I also love to discuss with people. As long as someone doubts me, I will explain to him. I want to make it clear to him. I also have a sense of accomplishment. Now I don't talk about it anymore.If you want to tell me about Tiantai Sect, what is the profound truth, I will ask him to find like-minded colleagues to study together.What I mean now is that the teaching I am doing now is completely based on what the Master Shandao taught. It is straightforward and does not require much deep truth. It directly teaches us to correspond to the heart of Amitabha.We must be honest and obedient, and use our good roots to practice this method. This is right and straightforward.

This is because it is impossible for us to start from the doctrinal path, because our method is among all the sects, and the most profound doctrinal is the realm of the Buddha.Amitabha is also the king of Buddhas, the highest in the realm of Buddhas.So how do we go to study categorical research to reach mastery?Since the research is unreasonable, don't do it at all, and don't waste time.There must be a way for us to practice, which is what the Master Shandao taught us, and it is really the most standard practice of the Pure Land Method.What we heard in the past is not wrong, but it is a convenience. Today, we can meet Master Shandao teach us the simplest and fastest way to achieve, which means that our roots and merits are better than others, and we already have enough.

(XNUMX) When encountering good knowledge, we must seize the opportunity to seek the law

(XNUMX) When encountering good knowledge, we must seize the opportunity to seek the law

When we came here last time to talk about it, many fellow practitioners raised their hands and said they had faith in the death.These people don't know if they died?Not yet, I should have come back to listen.This time, if there is a chance tomorrow, I will ask again to see if this confidence has faded.If it fades, it's not that the Fa is not working, but that the faith you said last time is false and not true.If you really have faith in this method, it is impossible to retreat, because this faith is blessed by Amitabha Buddha, and it has been blessed into our hearts.The power of the Buddha cannot be lost!As long as you enter your heart, you won’t retreat. Every one of us promises to die, unless you don’t want to. This is very important!

We had heard some fellow practitioners before, it seemed that the death situation was not so good. It was because he didn't hear our teaching method, and he didn't hear the pure land practice taught by Master Shandao.I once...I came to see a fellow practitioner, an old fellow practitioner, with our chairman Wang last time. I heard that she was not very good when she left.I went to see her once, and the time I went to see her was a very good bond.But I just said a few words to her, and I knew that she...Her personality does not want to ask for the law or listen to us. What she means is...she keeps telling me what she thinks, and how she feels. I just listened to her!We Hengshun sentient beings!

If sentient beings demand the Fa today, we will tell her that it will be effective.If she doesn't want to listen, but just wants to chat with us and make good friends, let's just listen to her!As a result, she missed that opportunity.If she wants to listen, I must tell her Master Shandao's Dharma. Even if you don't immediately initiate confidence as soon as you finish listening, at least you must have blessed it, and the seed has already been planted.In the end, she didn't even listen to it, and I didn't even say it, because I observed the cause and destiny at the time and said it to no avail!Didn't say that it was a good fate!When she saw me listening to her, she felt very fulfilled and was very happy.If we didn't listen to her, but instead rushed to talk to her, it would have formed a bad bond.We are observing a person's personality, her fate at the time, if we insist on speaking but she does not listen, it will be useless if we say it!right?So this is really a question of personal merit.

(XNUMX) The core practice of the Pure Land Method only with good roots and merit

(XNUMX) The core practice of the Pure Land Method only with good roots and merit

A few days ago, Chairman Wang was still saying that next time I hope I can come back often if there is a destiny, he said that the fellow practitioners here understand what I'm talking about better, which means that it's right to say that it is relatively simple.He said that the fellow practitioners here are relatively average!I said, it’s not like that. We fellow practitioners have the best good roots, and I have a good relationship with fellow practitioners here, because we practice the Pure Land Method. The conditions we just said, the most precious conditions can be achieved, the so-called roots. Now!The easiest thing to accomplish is honesty.You see, I came here and said, everyone is very happy to hear it!It means that you can respond. The method I said is relatively simple, but the truth is very deep. If you don't have good roots, you can't accept it, and you won't respond.

So it’s not that our level is low here, but that I observe the personalities of the people here, and say it in a way that everyone can accept.Actually this content is very deep!So you have to use some stories or something to explain in simple terms. If the fellow practitioners here talk about the quality, the quality of Zhan Genfu is not enough, you can't understand a word to him, even if you are a Ph.D. or an intellectual, you can tell him about him. Can't listen!He prefers to listen to some of the more profound Buddhist names. On the contrary, the words we say are very shallow, but the truth is very deep, but he can't understand it, and he can't understand the deep truth.

This part is really to rely on our good roots to feel the feelings, using induction, just like the intuition between people and people, your intuition is good or bad, whether he is a good person or a bad person, we have intuitions. !Some intellectuals use research and analysis, but his intuition is slow, and he can't tell who is good and who is bad.Therefore, a person's level is not determined by the number of books he reads or the number of names he understands. It is not the case. It is all determined by the quality of the individual, the root of goodness.

For example, we have an old Bodhisattva fellow practitioner, and her other family members together, there are more than XNUMX people. You can set up a class, you can start a class, and the other fellow practitioners are the same, with good roots.So this place, indeed, the chairman of the board is also very interested. It has been many years since the establishment of this dojo. If there is no such effort, it is impossible to achieve the results of today, so everyone should cherish it and use it well.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Liming (approved by Master Renjing)

(XNUMX) Listening to the scriptures should be long-term experience, strengthen confidence in the death, and teach each other to achieve mutual achievement.

(XNUMX) Only when you let go of all destiny can you die

(XNUMX) Only when you let go of all destiny can you die

Like those old bodhisattvas, who are about 5 or 60 years old, if they are blessed, they are blessed, and they don’t have to live.As for the troubled person, it is best to let go of all destiny.Although we are sure to die now, we all rely on Amitabha without worrying.The problem is, we can make a good template to influence others!Therefore, we must recite the Buddha seriously, and then we will see whether we are going to die standing or sitting down, whatever you choose!The most important thing is that the body is free from illness, isn't it good to walk easily?It's also pretty.People who are reborn in the bliss world look better when they die than when they are alive, and their complexion is better.If you want to go, you have to go better, right!So we have to recite more Buddha now, and it is best for older people to recite all day long.

This is the case for a couple in Sichuan Province, mainland China. I will give you this example for everyone to learn. Older people should not worry about their children and grandchildren. All things must be set aside. Children and grandchildren have their own destiny. This is all destined. Don’t fuck. bother.If you recite the Buddha well and walk a little better, you will be able to shelter them with merit, and this will really help them.The couple has retired. After retirement, the two of them will recite the Buddha every day, and they will meditate morning and evening when they recite and worship the Buddha.The two of them don’t chat together. They are really fellow daoists. They don’t talk about how they used to be or which person is like. There is no right and wrong. They are really fellow daoists. At most, they can talk about their feelings of chanting. well?

One day this old lady was meditating. She told her husband that she said that when she was meditating last night, she was reciting the Buddha, meditating and reciting the Buddha, and she saw Amitabha.So as long as you meditate and recite the Buddha all day long, it will be easy to feel.She said that she saw Amitabha Buddha's whole body gleaming gold, and Amitabha was very happy and politely asked her: Do you want to come to Paradise now?Ask her like this.She said she hesitated, she hesitated, no, she said: Okay, of course I want to go!I just want to go to chanting Buddha every day!Amitabha said: That's it!I'll take you there now, okay?In the end, she hesitated. This is our habit. Now we must pay attention to this passage. Maybe we will be like her!She hesitated for a moment, she was still thinking in her heart, but before she could say it, she said: But my little daughter hasn't married yet.We usually have plans and plans for everything!How can she count Amitabha's sudden appearance, right?So this is her instinct. We must pay attention to this place. When the Buddha really appears, how will you react?As a result, she just thought so in her heart, and Amitabha knew it. She didn't say it, and only a few seconds when she was still hesitating, Amitabha smiled at her and disappeared and left.

Not long ago, I was at the Mi Tuo Jingzong Society in Malacca. I went to see the president's wife. She also told me that she heard that the president's mother did the same.She just recites Buddhism and she usually recites Buddhism.When he was dying, Amitabha really came.She told Lotus Friend that Amitabha had been here for 5 or 6 hours and waited for her by the side. After waiting for 5 or 6 hours, she still didn't want to sit on the lotus!Why? Because she is waiting, she seems to be a grandson, coming back from abroad.It was just because of the obstruction of a thought that I waited for several hours, and then later Amitabha left.

why?Why did one leave in a few seconds, while the president’s mother took a few hours to leave?Because when she was about to leave, she still wanted to go, just to wait to see the last time.Elderly people are so persistent, you should never do this in the future. Does it make any difference?Why do you have to see the last time before you are willing to leave?Let Amitabha wait for a long time, right?It really made us reluctant to see that Amitabha was very busy, and you asked him to wait for that long, but he left after 5 or 6 hours, because she waited until the end and became annoyed.A thought, just a thought, a thought arises, I want to say not to go, I must see him, I am unwilling if I don't see it, I am unwilling if I don't see my grandson, but that thought I don't want to go, Amitabha immediately disappeared.Just like that, I won't force it.

Therefore, in our minds, I will urge fellow practitioners to make vows every day. Our aspiration to rebirth is the most important thing. It can determine whether we can die. The old monk often said that the words of Master Huiyi "To die or not depends on faith." The existence of a wish", whether we can die or not depends on whether we have this faith or not; so high grades depend on our ability to recite the Buddha.He said: What is the skill of chanting Buddha?No, he said that good taste lies in the depth of kung fu.He said: What is deep?It means that you can let go, the more let go, and see through this world, the more let go, the deeper the effort.It’s not the deep learning of Buddhism!Don't get it wrong.If you can't let go, you have troubles, and you have troubles everywhere, this means less effort, which is what it means.

So our willingness to be born is very important. It is just a thought, and we can go another day, or we don't want to go. There is only one thought, and Amitabha is gone.You see, I will give two examples. These are all facts!Knowing that we can't have a thought, we hesitated for a while, so that our desire to live is not firm enough in the first place, and it's not true.It was meant to be like this or not. There has never been such a thing that I must go, and I must go if I die. If I don’t go, I won’t retreat.If there is this, this is really going to go.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Liming (approved by Master Renjing)

(XNUMX) With true faith and eagerness, you can let go of all destiny

(XNUMX) With true faith and eagerness, you can let go of all destiny

Someone asked me, "Master, how do I make a wish?"
Is it so difficult to make a wish?I asked him, "It's easy! Are you coming to listen to the scriptures tomorrow?"
"want."
"If so! Are you going to die into the Paradise of Bliss?"
"want."
"This is a wish!"
But you have to comply with what you say, don't just talk about it, that's a fake, it's not a real wish.

Making a vow is very simple. If you want to go, it is to make a vow.It is not necessary to recite a lot in front of the Buddha: Wish to be born in the Pure Land of the West... Not necessarily!It is a ritual to the public, to strengthen the mind of rebirth, and it is just to say it.The most important thing is that you really want to go in your heart. This is a wish.Is this wish true or false? Regardless of any factor, even if you suddenly give you a lot of money today, you still have to die if you want the money, or you have to wait until the money is spent. You may not want to go after the money is spent. You must go right away. It is the real wish.

All things in life are not important, only going to Paradise is the most important.This is what the Eighteen Yuan said about "belief in the heart". I really want to go to the world of bliss with joy. This kind of wish for life is absolutely true, and everyone needs to experience it.Think about it now, what do you want to do most in this world, do you want to go home and play with your grandchildren, how big a house you want to buy, what big business you want to do, or what good food you want to eat. Some people love it. …Everyone has something they want to satisfy.

Does anyone miss the Buddha and go to Paradise?Just ask yourself.If so, you will definitely become a Buddha XNUMX%.If this wish is not ranked first, but still second and third, we must step up and see through the world.Compare yourself, what is better than going to Elysium?Money and wealth are the most in the world of bliss. The land is made of gold. You can pick up whatever you want. You don’t have to work hard to make money. You also need to create a business and compete with others. You don’t make money. How can money be rich, so I have some bad fate, creating karma!You won’t be able to go to Elysium!What do you want, don't you?You will know by thinking carefully and comparing.

Really, going to the Elysium is the most important and the most extraordinary thing. If you can see this truth clearly, you will naturally consider rebirth to the Elysium and becoming a Buddha as the one thing you most want to do.If you really understand and have no doubts about Amitabha Buddha, he is so compassionate, he made a vow on our behalf, and he has to come to receive us personally. If you have this kind of mood, you are right now. "Successfully recite the Buddha", you can naturally reach that state, and you naturally love recitation of the Buddha.As long as you don’t use your brain, you love to recite the Buddha. You can recite when sweeping, cooking, and driving. You can recite the Buddha when you are not thinking about it. You naturally love to recite the Buddha.Because the most important thing in your heart is to rebirth into the world of bliss. If you want to go, you must use the method of chanting Buddha!

So you naturally love to recite, plus we know that the merit of this Buddha name is so great. When we recite the Buddha, we can invisibly eliminate disasters and avoid disasters. We would have a car accident. Because we recite the Buddha, the car accident was avoided. Pro-debt is mainly to collect debts, but because you have been chanting Buddha, it is resolved invisibly.So once we know this truth, should we recite the Buddha?This is nature!They will do it without reluctance.Young people can’t help it, but if the old Bodhisattva is blessed by fate, he should be like this couple and recite the Buddha all day. There will be the benefits I just mentioned. It can really help you. Go to Elysium.When you recite Buddhism, you will be very happy and like to recite.

The old lady just hesitated, and Amitabha left, but she regretted it.I have been reciting the Buddha for so long, and the purpose is to die. As a result, I failed in an exam, and I regret not going.She told her husband about this. After hearing this, her husband wanted to say, what does this mean?This means that Buddha Amitabha wanted to remind us that there are still many things that have not been seen through. Although he recites the Buddha very seriously every day, he can't pass the exam in the end. Just to remind us.

After this incident, the couple became more diligent. They even ordered their children not to visit or call them as much as possible. Things between relatives and friends should be avoided as much as possible. They don’t have to walk all day long. I want everyone to eat or go shopping together, or whatever, no need.It’s more important to recite the Buddha every day. If you really have something to deal with, then you should contact again. It is to work hard like this.It’s not that it’s painful to practice Kungfu, but to enjoy the blessings. Recitation of Buddhism is a very happy thing. It’s better for your body. If you can concentrate on Buddhism and don’t worry about world affairs and children’s affairs, you will be younger and younger if you keep chanting Buddhism. Keep reading until you die, your body will be good, and your face will look good. This is your blessing. If you can use it, you shouldn't be in the seventies and eighties.Like an old monk, there is no way, because sentient beings need him too much. He is in his eighties and he is still giving service everywhere in the world.If we don't have this kind of predestined condition, we will be able to use it if we have this cleanness.

After that, the old couple was very diligent.Only three months later, one morning, the old lady went to the vegetable market.After shopping for groceries home, knocking on the door for a long time, her husband did not come to open the door, she put down the food basket, took out the key to open the door, and the living room and dining room could not see the husband, so she walked into the room.As soon as the room opened, she saw her husband clasp his hands together, facing the window to the west, standing still, she wondered what the husband was doing?There was also the sound of chanting Buddha machine nearby.She kept calling him, but he didn't respond, and said to him: "Hurry up, I'm back from buying vegetables, come and help pick up vegetables."

She didn't even think of what was going on. After screaming for a long time, her husband ignored her. She walked over to look at it. After looking at it... she also patted his back, but he didn't move. At this time, she began to feel nervous.She went to try to see if he was still breathing and whether he was still breathing. In the end, there was no breathing. She was out of breath. She also tried the pulse, touched it, and didn't move.Next, I tried to open his eyelids, which were originally closed, and opened him, his eyes disappeared, and he really passed away.At this time she was very nervous, how her husband died standing, never seen such a thing.It turned out that her husband left first, so her husband had better skills. She hadn't grasped the opportunity before, and her heart still...Wish to live is not so strong, so her husband left first.What should I do if I am nervous at this time?

Later, she saw that there was a will next to her husband, and she left a message saying: "Brother (call her brother), I am leaving now. I will wait for you in the Paradise of Paradise. I saw Amitabha a week ago, but I dared not tell You." Explain to her: "When I pass away, you don’t need to be nervous. Don’t move my body. The chanting machine keeps it playing. You also follow the chanting. You can do whatever you need to eat, eat when you need to eat, and wait until tomorrow to notify the child. Men, you should recite more Buddha yourself." Leave these last words to explain.

So if you see someone at home and die standing or sitting, don’t be nervous!Don’t have never seen a person pass away, don’t know how to deal with it, don’t be nervous, just do what you have to do, let the reciting machine play it, and follow the Buddha.If you want to notify the lotus friends to come to help the recitation, do not be nervous about everything, do not be afraid, this is a good thing!Go to Elysium.If you can recite the Buddha in this way, the Ruixiang is so good, there is no sickness, and you still die standing. If this spreads, there will be more face among relatives and friends, and offspring will have face. Who in our family becomes a Buddha.Right?It's the same if you are sick and die. As long as you have a vision of the past life, it's good.

(XNUMX) Diligently plowing Futian to recite the Buddha faithfully

(XNUMX) Diligently plowing Futian to recite the Buddha faithfully

If we have this blessing, we must try to practice like this.I also really imagine chanting Buddhism like this all day long, not in retreat, young people don’t have to do this, young people who are able to do their best to cultivate blessings and serve all beings.Anyway, it’s okay for us to die. If we are sure of this, we will try our best to serve sentient beings at other times.But we can try not to do the kind of service that requires very brainstorming, so that we have time to recite the Buddha.

Like my previous monastery, because I followed the old monks from the beginning, the old monks were all preaching, I was doing some relatively literary work, and the martial arts were less capable.I don’t know how to cook, and it’s strange that I’m not cooked yet, sometimes it’s cooked, sometimes it’s not.But I have learned a very powerful trick, none of you know. I can cook a meal for 120 people, using a large pot of firewood, using old firewood.Because when I went to school in the past, I went to a temple with a history of more than 6 years, where more than 70 people lived.Because I'm going to school, not a deacon, so I'm here to help.I prefer to cook, called Fantou. The deacon’s name is a teacher and father. He is almost 1 or 2 years old and has a very good physique.Because she cooks rice for more than one hundred people every day, using firewood to cook, I learnt from her, her kung fu passed on to me, and I remember it, so I know how to cook.But at that time, I followed her to cook it one or two times. If I have a chance to cook it another day, I don’t know if it will be cooked!But I know the way.

I also want to say that if the work of preaching is consummated, I would also like to go back to do those tasks, and it would be fun to do those hard work!Because I am active, my body will be better!Don't use your mind!It’s not too tired, it’s fun, and it’s also fun to learn from them at that time, it’s the best!It's okay to clean the toilet, just wear a mask for fear of bad smells.As long as you can serve sentient beings, you don’t have to be famous or do some high-level duties. That would be annoying. Picking up jobs that people don’t want to do will achieve great results. Because of this, you can recite the Buddha well, and our bodies need to be more active. Only then will it be good. It takes a lot of time to recite the Buddha, and it is best not to speak.It’s best for young people to do more and don’t stay at home. Don’t be as bad as the old Bodhisattva I just mentioned. The old Bodhisattva has worked his whole life, and now it’s time for them to enjoy the blessings. They can stay at home and recite the Buddha. .

We young people should cultivate blessings. We can be like Zen Master Gu Xing, an apprentice of the old monk Xuyun, so amazing.When the Blessed One died... He cremated himself with the real fire of Samadhi.Do you all understand me in Hokkien?I'd better return to Chinese. I'm afraid that some people don't understand Hokkien, and I don't know how to speak it.Have you heard of that Zen Master Gu Xing?It is true that this man's kung fu apart from Blessed One, I have not seen the second one, he is the disciple of the old monk Xuyun.When the Blessed One entered the extinction before, he used the real fire of samādhi, and in the sara tree, he cremated the real fire of samādhi with his own internal force.

Then this Zen Master Gu Xing is the disciple of the old monk Xuyun. He has very poor qualifications and no education, so his life is very poor.In the past, the old monk Xuyun was highly respected. He took in many poor people in the monastery to work and gave them some money (salary).Later, he took all the family over, and then the whole family became a monk, with good roots.That is because he has no culture, and you don't understand if you ask him to participate in Zen, the old monk Xuyun taught him to recite the Buddha, teach him to recite "Nanwu Amitabha", and to recite honestly.This person is also very honest, because he is very grateful to the old monk Xuyun for taking in his family, he had no food to eat!I can’t find a job, I’m very grateful, so I’m very hardworking, and pick dung for things that people don’t want to do!We use natural fertilizers for growing vegetables in the jungles of Lantau Island, and we need to pick the most natural (dung)!We can still smell the smell when we go there. The fertilizer for growing vegetables is all artificial things.He took the initiative to pick and do all of these things himself. Some of the heavier ones: picking firewood, transporting water, all these are hard work.

Then after about a few years, the old monk looked at his level and asked him to go to school. He refused to leave or leave the master. In the end, he could not go to school.Then he went around and came back again. At this time, he had been a monk for more than ten years, and he said that he would come back to live again.The old monk asked him what are you going to do?Deacon?He was already a veteran at that time, and he could accept apprentices.But he was still very humble and honest. He said that I hope to remain the same as before, and I will take care of everything that people don't want to do in the temple.It's been more than ten years!It's not a beginner.You were originally very young, so you can't do it. You have been in it for more than ten years!He made his own mind, he is really virtuous, he already has kung fu, he went to study outside, but he is still so polite, he is really my idol.Then, when he came back, well, the old monk just followed his will and did some hard work for him, growing vegetables.

It didn’t take long to go back. One day, the people at the bottom of the mountain, because the old monk Xuyun is a great spiritual practitioner, even the purple robes that Empress Dowager Cixi personally gave him, he gave the robes to our master, the Holy One Master of Lantau. , His successor, and the people in that area respect him very much.Then one day, the people at the foot of the nearby mountain saw a fire in the temple. Everyone was going to put out the fire because they were all worried. Master was on it. What if Master is in danger?Go to save Master.As a result, many people rushed to see it.At first glance, the temple did not catch fire!Why is there a large flame spreading down the mountain?Look, it turns out to be in the direction of the light, which turned out to be the direction of Zen Master Gu Xing's hut.Everyone ran over to look at it, thinking that maybe there was a fire over there.As a result, I realized that he was sitting there, sitting there, and then the robes looked good, the Muyu and Yinqu had been burned, but his whole body was sitting still, like asleep. .

Everyone didn't know what was going on, they were strange what was happening, and they were about to step forward and ask him.Because he asked him to touch him, it happened that the old monk Xuyun rushed to say: You can't touch him.The old monk has magical powers, knowing that he has passed away, he sits up.The old monk Xuyun took the lead, knocked three times in his ear, and said to him: Good apprentice, your manifestation is so extraordinary!Now that you have completed your merits, everyone sees that you can leave with peace of mind.After speaking, his whole body "boomed" and collapsed, because it was already burnt to ashes, and if burned to ashes, he could keep it from collapsing, and wait for his master to come.Look, wow, this kind of kung fu is too powerful!I'm sitting here suddenly not moving, and I will become gray when you tell me a few words.Look, can you imagine that kind of scene?Everyone was dumbfounded, and one person suddenly collapsed and turned into a mass of ashes!Wow, this is the real fire of Samadhi in his body, and even the money for cremation is saved. This kind of effort, you see, he is a modern person!He is also an uneducated person.

Can we do it?Yes, as long as you make a wish, even if you have not practiced samādhi true fire, at least our body is not sick, and there is no problem in foreseeing from time to time.That is really Guangzong Yaozu!You see, there is so much face for children and grandchildren!Like my great-grandmother, she passed away very well. She died at the age of 90. She was still farming the day before she died. She took a pole in the rice field and picked things like this. The next day she did not get sick and died, and her body was soft.This is what my grandma told me, and Ruixiang is very special.My great-grandmother is a very good person, and so is my grandfather. What a face!Look, family!Moreover, you have a high grade of rebirth like this, and you can come back as soon as you go. You feel that your family members, relatives and creditors are particularly pitiful, and the karma is particularly heavy. Come back to save them quickly. It's useless for you to worry about it, hurry up. Hard work is more important.

(XNUMX) Elysium gathers good people

(XNUMX) True faith and eagerness will not turn back

This "living in Zhengding Gathering" is very important.In our Tang version of the Immeasurable Life Scripture, there is a passage in the twenty-second product. It says: "If there are good men and good women, if they have been born, if they are alive, they all know that they live in Zhengding. The passage of "San Bodhi" means that as long as you rebirth to the world of bliss, you will live in right concentration, you will attain Nirvana, and you will surely become a Buddha.But, Huang Nianzu, the old layman, he quoted the teachings of Master Shandao. He said: "This passage has a secret meaning that is not retreatable." Secret!The meaning of Hanzang is called esoteric righteousness. "If you are alive" refers to those who are surviving and also enter the right concentration gathering, that is, we are now alive, and those who have made a vow now have already entered the right concentration gathering now, so don't retreat!

As we have been talking about before, as long as you truly believe in this heart, you will not retreat.It’s not that we are encouraging you. Don’t worry, you won’t retreat. This is what the scripture says. He would never retreat because Amitabha will bless you. This is his aspiration and he has power.That is what Master Shandao talked about. The other ancestors of his ances didn't see this point. This is not a common saying.

Then Huang Nianzu quoted this paragraph to explain. His teaching is the same as Nagarjuna’s teachings in the ten live vipassa theory and the Yixingping. There is a paragraph in it. He said: "Man can recite that he is a Buddha, and he is immeasurably powerful. Virtue is sure to enter immediately, so I often say" "Instantly enters sure" means that you can live in this right concentration at the moment, and its meaning is the same.So if we learn from Master Shandao, the practice of this pure land is true and sincere, according to the eighteen vows, the most faithful, and sincerely aspiring to survive, we are already living in the Zhengding Gathering at the moment and will not turn back.So we can feel at ease, and don’t worry about our advances and retreats. The world of Sao Po’s practice advances and retreats nine times. That means that we are practicing on our own, and that we are going forward and backward nine times.However, as long as you can receive his blessings by relying on Amitabha's aspiration, you won't retreat after you get in touch with him, and you don't have to wait until you die.

(XNUMX) Knowing the bad and being at ease in the moment

(XNUMX) Knowing the bad and being at ease in the moment

Then this state of mind is like missing all monks at the moment!This kind of feeling, really, I also felt a little bit. I didn't dare to say that it was really like the arahant who leaked all the bhikkhus and had no troubles at all, but it really tasted a little bit of Dharma.When we have true faith and aspirations, believe that Buddha Amitabha will come, take us to the world of bliss, believe that we will be able to become a Buddha in this life, the current inner stability, a kind of joy, and then feel very lucky and happy. Then there is fear and burden.This kind of happiness is very pure and stable, and you won't be afraid of losing it.

The happiness of people in the world, behind the happiness, you will have fear, because you will feel that it may disappear another day, for example, you are falling in love, passionately, and love to die, but your heart will not worry, another day he will have an affair, I don't like you anymore, will it?Yes, the men will be worried, and the women will also be worried.The happiness in the world, there is no real happiness in the world, all happiness, the Blessed One is called "bad suffering", because it will deteriorate, so the essence is suffering.It seems to be happy, but it is actually bitter. There is fear in the heart, and there will be side effects.You said to eat, wow, abalone shark fin is delicious!You eat too much, look, how do you feel?It's getting bitter!That happiness has changed!It's not real happiness if it changes.

But here it says "it’s like draining the bhikkhu." This kind of happiness, as long as we are now, we don’t have to wait for rebirth, as long as we receive the blessing of Amitabha now, we can really feel this kind of happiness. What kind of happiness is this draining bhikkhu? What?It is a kind of non-attachment and joy. He should feel happy about the realm in his heart, but he is not attached to or greedy, so there is no fear. This kind of inner heart is very pure and happy.That's because all of us are greedy!Fear that things are lost, so you will have fear and anxiety with it, and that kind of happiness is not pure.

Just like us, why do we say that our happiness is a bit similar to this state, because when we truly believe in Amitabha and want to live in the world of bliss, we will not be attached to this world, and we will not be greedy.So when the realm comes, whether it's good or bad, just face it as it happens.Then, are you happy?Yes, but the heart is not greedy, attached, or greedy, so you are not afraid of losing, and if you are not afraid of losing, then there is no sense of fear.Just like when we go to learn to teach the Dharma everywhere, the place where we live is different. In some places, there is a squatter in the dojo, and in some places, the chairman's blessing is bigger. If we live in their villa, it seems that the environment is very good!

Then some people think, in fact, is it necessary to practice asceticism to practice asceticism?No, the true practice is to follow the conditions, not to be greedy.In a good state, if you look at the "Hua Yan Sutra" that is truly rich and noble, you have to look at it in the "Hua Yan Sutra". Therefore, the practice of Buddhism does not necessarily involve asceticism. It is the asceticism of ordinary people in the world.Those who really know how to study, master the real realm, are that you are calm in the face of prosperity and adversity.What is ordinary heart?Don't be greedy, don't have any thoughts, but do you feel it?Yes, you are having fun, this thing is delicious, it's really delicious!However, after eating, do you want to eat more, eat more, or eat another day? I don’t have these thoughts.In the present, live in the present, the present, um, delicious, delicious, or not delicious, the feeling is very clear, otherwise you will become an idiot!Practice until you become an idiot.Of course you are very clear about good and bad!right?There is also a feeling that our six roots are not broken.

But unlike the people in the world, it is not only clearer, but it is only clearer, but there is no greed in the heart, no other distracting thoughts, that is, in the present, directly feel good or bad, clearly, Clearer than anyone in the world.But this happiness is not greedy when facing good times. For example: Oh, I lived in a very good house today!Oh, if you live so well every day, it would be great!That's greed!The living today is terrible, oh so miserable!Why is it so pitiful, I feel that my reward is so bad, and I blame others, and a lot of troubles arise.This is how people in the world change with their realm.I'm so happy if I'm out there!People say you are so beautiful, so you are happy for three days; if you say you are ugly, you get angry for three years.right?This is how people in the world are.

The cultivator is what you tell him, and he just doesn’t move, "Well, yes, yes, hello, I’ll be fine." Just like that, this is called the eight winds that cannot be moved, and the cultivator is like this.He feels the same, he looks happy, angry, sorrowful, and no different from people in the world, but he is different in his heart, and he has to experience this by himself.Then we can imagine from here, what if we are suffering now?Don't be attached to this suffering, because this suffering is also fake!right?Suffering is also an illusion.If you see through the illusion, you shouldn't cling to the existence of this suffering. If you don't treat it as it exists, it will mean nothing.For example: the next day you are sick and cancer is very painful. Don't keep going, and don't pay attention to the painful feeling in your mind.

If a tore rooter, a tore rooted person, he sees through the illusion directly, suffering is also an illusion, it is not real, it is only if we think it exists.But in principle, I know that it hurts too much!right?then what should we do?When you recite the Buddha, rely on the blessings of the Buddha's power. If you want to recite the Buddha with one heart, the pain will really fade away, and in the end the pain will disappear.So why do some cancer patients really don’t need to take medicine or painkillers because they rely on the blessing of Buddha.

(XNUMX) Believe in good cause and effect and keep one's karma

(XNUMX) Believe in good cause and effect and keep one's karma

Like my grandma used to be Yiguandao, for more than 10 years, Yiguandao is very difficult to handle.When I became a monk, she was very worried. It was nearly three years before I became a monk and she turned to Buddha.At first, it was to give me face. Every time I went back, she picked up the rosary and read it to me, as if it were serious. At first, she had no intentions, and then she gradually built up her confidence.Then, because the truth is not very clear, but we told her plainly that she can accept to do it, but the truth is really not very clear to her.Then she had foot pain. She was over XNUMX years old this year. As soon as her foot hurts, she stopped reading Buddha, and even complained: it didn't work, it didn't work to recite the Buddha, it still hurt terribly.There is even that kind of complaint, because the karma is present.

Once when I went back, she told me like this, and I told her very harshly. I said: How can you say it like this? It's unfair to say it like this. Your body has been used for more than XNUMX years before you recite the Buddha. A few words, you dare to blame this Buddha's name for not working if you haven't worked hard.I just miss her, otherwise you can slander the Three Jewels at will, blame others, no, you didn't work hard at first!Because I am very close to my grandma, it doesn't matter if I scold her, I will not be so fierce to others.In particular, she doesn't understand the truth. People always behave like this. You have to find an excuse anyway. You are obviously your own problem, and it involves other people. People have this bad habit.If you blame this thing on Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, it is really a sin, no.

I told her: If you don’t recite the Buddha, you will suffer even more pain. It’s because you have recite the Buddha. Although you don’t recite the Buddha seriously, the Buddha and Bodhisattva are already blessing you. You have to be grateful.Then you see that people read it so well, and you are still in pain, which means you don’t need to work hard, you don’t have a true mind!How can it be effective!Say a few words, you have used your body for more than XNUMX years, and it is almost broken, and you are sick. If you say a few words, you want to heal if you have no intentions. That's not possible.

Really, this doesn't make sense, and it really doesn't make sense to Amitabha.People made a vow to help us, and we read a few words casually, and we didn't know how to be grateful in return. Oh, if we were a little unhappy, we blamed all the sins on the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.You see, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are really wronged.From the habits of sentient beings, we can also often realize that Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are really too great, and they will suffer all kinds of grievances to save sentient beings!Until the end, after the sentient beings were spent, they repented. It turned out that I was wrong before.Before turning around, if the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are really emotional, they will really be pissed off sooner or later.All beings have heavy karma!It's not going well!You helped him eight points today. If you didn’t do a good job at two points the next day, if he is not satisfied, he will blame you. All the first eight points are forgotten. That’s how sentient beings are.

Therefore, if we want to practice the bodhisattva way to save sentient beings, we must first have a self-knowledge and a recognition. Today I am here to suffer, that is, to torment sentient beings. You don’t need to reason with him. You don’t have to reason with him. Qualified to follow the bodhisattva way.If sentient beings are not stupid, then you don't need to save them!It is because he is foolish that he has troubles, he is unreasonable, very pitiful, and he is also very painful!It's just that he doesn't know the way to liberate, so we need to save him.So saving sentient beings is really not easy. From this difficulty, we know that it is not easy to interact with others. We also realize that Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are really great, and we owe too much to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

We used to have serious habitual problems!When we haven’t set our minds on studying Buddhism, or at the very beginning, we can’t realize how much Buddha and Bodhisattvas have given us and planned for us. Unless we are really enlightened, and after turning around, we won’t realize it. Be able to know how to be grateful, know that you can appreciate the feelings of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.As the saying goes: Raising a child knows the kindness of parents!No matter how you have been arguing with your parents since you were young, you feel that it is right for your parents to be angry with you. Whenever you become a parent yourself, you will be replaced by your kinship and creditor to fix you!You just know, wow, my former parents were really great!I am really unfilial.Only when we are enlightened and truly enlightened can we realize the kindness of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, how great we are, how unfilial we are, and how deep karma is.

Therefore, no one who really gets the benefits of the Dharma and transforms their body and mind does not feel that they have serious karma.If you have been studying for a long time, you feel that you, oh, have cultivated, seem to have cultivated well, know a lot about teachings, and your own level, then you are done, you have gone the wrong way, worse than those who have not yet started. .People who are new to Buddhism are more than just beginning their minds to become Buddhism. People who are new to Buddhism are much better than you.So you see, we often see some of the troubles in Buddhism, usually some old cultivators, and novices dare not dare.Lao Xiu, he is self-righteous, he criticizes others, even monks also criticize him, this is wrong, his body, speech and mind are not pure.

No matter how high-sounding reasons you say, wouldn't the old monk talk about four?Say good things and be good people, right?The body, mouth, and mind shown must be in accordance with the Fa and Dao to be correct.You can't say no matter how good the reason you are, you can beat people, scold people, and criticize people. For example, if the master is speaking well or not.You can see that there are many satellite TV stations now, there are many masters, and many people are used to observing. When watching TV, they will criticize: this is good; the other is not good; how is that...Is that right?No, listeners have the right to choose whether to learn or not, and they have no right to criticize.

It is also obligatory for other masters to teach the Fa!I didn't owe you, nor was it the tutor you invited, the tutor you paid for, right?If he doesn't teach well, you can still ask if it is wrong for you. If you teach it this way, you can pay for it. There is no way.People are obligatory, and you have a higher seniority and a higher status than you. You have to know a little bit about your role, what role you should do, and what to say, so that you can truly learn Buddhism and be a disciplined person.How can you criticize arbitrarily? You really criticize arbitrarily. If it hurts others' reputation or what it is, they can still sue you for defamation!Right, this can't be messed up, of course people who study Buddhism won't.The real Buddhas and Bodhisattvas don't care about beings, but they really have to analyze the cause and effect carefully. That's true.

We do not have the right to criticize others. If you criticize others, they have the right to sue you for defamation, right?Each has its own rights, so it's not possible.We have to keep our oral profession very well, and we can’t just criticize it casually. This is easy to commit. Many people have this problem and don’t know if they say a word or two. People will spread it out again, and spread it farther and farther. Good things don’t go out. , Bad things spread to the world, that's it.This impact may be great. You will have to bear the consequences in the future. Even if you do not intend to, you will still have the rewards. So please remember that we have no right to criticize.If you don't respond after hearing it, don't learn it!You have a choice whether you want to study or not, this is your right.Be very careful about this and pay special attention. We have not committed this problem ourselves.

I have also heard of a layman, in Taiwan, wow, that criticism is terrible!He is very famous in the religious world. He said that besides the old monk Guangqin, other monks at home and abroad, or lay people, probably mean that. He said that he took a look and probably none of them really cultivated very well. Ok.Wow, this is too terrifying. One sentence killed everyone, only the old monk Guangqin was not beaten by him.You see how heavy this oral trade is, it's very heavy, very heavy!right?In one sentence, we must not neglect the retribution, and we must not just say that.

(XNUMX) Make good use of the human body to achieve Buddhist deeds

(XNUMX) Make good use of the human body to achieve Buddhist deeds

Then the thirty-first vow of greed for the body, "not greedy for the vow of the body," is about avoiding this vow Amitabha Buddha made, which is to help us completely eliminate the cause of suffering.Especially for people in this world, the root of all troubles actually comes from our craving for our body, ego.Therefore, in your practice, you must break the two attachments of the ego, and the most important thing is the ego.From birth to death, there is no day without being bound by this body.For it, you have done all kinds of bad karma, worked hard, and done anything, all for it.

It's it, it's not me, it's different from me, the body, the body is not me, not us.All of us beings think that this person is me. We are wrong. This is just a combination of the four great falsehoods, a combination of earth, water, fire and wind. It's just a kind of person who has a predestined relationship, not the me.The real me, I will go to Paradise in the future.This is just like a piece of clothing, there is no difference, if it breaks, you can change it again.When we go to the Paradise of Bliss, it is for a King Kong not to be bad.Oops, that one is more solemn and does not get sick.

What attachments does this body have?You go to cultivate uncleanness, alas, nothing is clean from the inside out.So I used to love beauty very much. I used to have long hair. We have a kid here who saw the only photo of my long hair before, and he accidentally discovered that the previous photos were all burned out. Why is there still one? When I reach my waist, I perm my hair all day long, and it takes a long time to dry my hair. That's a beauty, and women are like that.Now think about it, oops, I'm really tired, for this three thousand troubles!

See if you are a monk, the more you look, the better you look.This is beautiful and clean, so you don’t have to worry about it anymore. I’m very happy if I have a good look today, but I feel unpleasant again tomorrow. We don’t have hair, and we look the same every day.There is nothing good or bad, but it is very clean.The feeling that monks give people, Seng Bao, when you see monks, you must think of purity. He is a representative of the Dharma.

Therefore, it is easy for women to become obsessed with appearances. One is the hair style and the clothes. Oh, this woman will always lose one piece of clothes. She is desperately making money, and then she buys clothes and puts them in the closet. They won’t be able to wear them for a year. Once or twice, the more expensive you are, the less you wear it. I have this experience.So, for all the pain, you see the Taoist Lao Tzu also said: I have great troubles, and I have a body for me.This great suffering, suffering, all suffering is because of this body.

Then you need this body to become a Buddha!Isn't the body bad?It's not bad, but we have to know how to use it, knowing that it is a tool, a tool for cultivating, and a tool for saving sentient beings. If we accumulate meritorious deeds and achieve blessings and wisdom, then this body is good.So many ghosts and gods, he has no body, no way to do good and to accumulate virtue, he has to possess his body to have a way to do things.This body is also very valuable!It's not easy to get a person!You should also cherish it. It’s a pity that if you use your human body to create karma, if you use it to become a Buddha and practice the way of Bodhisattva, then you are truly a person of great wisdom.

So in short, don't want to say that this human body is so useful, let's be a human again in the next life!Become a Buddha in humanity!Some people just think so, it's too paranoid.If you are a human being, one life is not as good as one life!Whether you can live life after life is not certain, let alone save sentient beings, are sentient beings so well saved?Many people want to save sentient beings, but they don’t know if they are saved.That means we happen to be human now, there is no way!We will try our best to make good use of it. It is better not to be a human being. It is not bad to go to Elysium and change a King Kong!You can change at any time. Today you want to change from boy to girl, from adult to child, whatever you want, you can change as you please, how great!Will not get sick.

What's so good about our body, study it carefully.Oh, someone told me that, clinging to my hair, there was a little girl who said she was going to be a monk, but she was worried about not having long hair.Let me tell you if you smell your hair, it stinks or not, if it stinks after two days, what's so good about it!So if you want to open up a bit, the real beauty can only be found in the world of bliss.

(XNUMX) The human law of good learning must be in the heart

(XNUMX) The human law of good learning must be in the heart

Let’s look at another scripture, the fifth line on page XNUMX: "When I was a Buddha, I was born in our country. The roots of goodness are boundless. Vajra Narayan has the strength of the body. There is light on the top of the body. All wisdom is achieved. Wisdom is boundless. The secret is to say that the scriptures are like a bell, if you are not, you don’t get enlightenment."

Okay, see this paragraph first.There are three wishes in this passage: "Na Luo Yanshen"; "Brightness and Wisdom"; "Talking about the Principles of the Law".As long as we rebirth to the world of bliss, the Luoyan body is the vajra incorruptible body. This body is immortal and immortal, and cannot be broken.And there is light in everyone, just like Amitabha.Then, if we are wise, have the ability to argue, and talk about the law, every one of our populations will be very good once we are born, and we will have no problem lecturing and speaking.This teaching of the scriptures is to teach by words, and the way to do is to teach by example. Be a role model for yourself.

Our old monk lectures all his life. In modern times, no one is more professional than him. He lectures every day without interruption, and his lectures are very sublime and broad, ranging from the superficial to the Huayan realm.So I have been close to him for so long, and have followed him from the beginning, I have felt his own behavior, his teaching and deeds are like Samantabhadra, judging from the number of sentient beings he saves.Of course, we can also regard him as Amitabha, and many fellow practitioners regard the old monk as Amitabha.

But judging from his practice, he really resembles Samantabhadra. This is my feeling, because he has a great mind and his aspirations are great. Samantabhadra represents the great aspirations, and he lives forever. There are so many sentient beings.What's more, he, he himself, you think Samantabhadra is very different from the general trend!The Bodhisattvas of the Great Momentum are all waiting for enlightenment, but what the Bodhisattva of the Momentum is that from first initiation to Buddhahood is a Buddha's name, specialization, and depth.But the old monk is not. The old monk specializes in the Pure Land Dharma and promotes the Pure Land Dharma.However, what he showed, he said, you know that he speaks everything, right?Finally led to bliss, like Samantabhadra Bodhisattva?Like, at the Huayan Conference, all methods are all-encompassing, and there are all methods.

The same goes for the old monk's sutras. He talks about all sutras, but in the end he is completely guided to the Pure Land, and he also specializes in the Pure Land, but the form presented is more subtle and broad.As you know, the realm of the old monk is not something we can fully understand, so we must be able to listen to the old monk's lectures and be good at learning.As for him, he has taught countless sutras, all sutras of all sects.If he explained according to the annotations of the patriarch of Tiantai, he would explain from the perspective of the rooftops; if he explained according to the annotations of the ancestor Huayan, he explained according to the explanations of the ancestor Huayan; if he explained according to the annotations of the master Shandao, the old monk also explained the view. After the four posts are succinct, then he will follow Master Shandao's concept and point of view, and everyone should know how to read it.

Therefore, the old monk is selfless. He has no intentions of his own.Therefore, he will speak according to any comment. We don't want to hear a sentence or two. Old monks all say that.What you say like that is different from the old monk, you are so powerful, do you know what the realm of the old monk is?You can see through it at a glance!You'll know by just a few words!When I was a beginner, I listened to the scriptures every day for two or three years. At that time, I heard almost a lot of the scriptures taught by the old monk, because I specialized in the work of circulating magic weapons. At that time, I had already discovered this. , What scriptures the old monk teaches, different seasons, causes, and the same questions have different answers and different teachings.

Later, I found out that it turned out that he was in accordance with the annotations, and how the Patriarch said what he said, it was no self.If you only listen to this sutra and not another sutra, then you will die!The old monk said that. What you say like this is different from what the old monk said. It is that you have too little to understand the characteristics of the old monk's salvation of sentient beings, reasoning opportunities, and observing seasons.Moreover, the old monk speaks very broadly. You have to master the key points yourself. Don't just grab a sentence and say that the old monk means this.You are so amazing!Only he knows what the old monk means. Who dares to say that you know what the old monk means, so you are too self-righteous!You have to be at the same level as the old monk, or surpass him, then you are qualified to say what the old monk means, right?Who of us is qualified?

We can only say that at some point, the old monk, for example, I’m going to talk about it now. He was in the Pure Land Dajing Jie on July 2010, 7. In the 28th part of the CD, he talked about a paragraph. We can do this. Quoting, when did he talk about what, this is okay, this is very objective, you can’t say that the old monk meant this, like he said at this time, re-speaking, when we are preaching the scriptures and propagating, we can follow the meaning and the language. .

Just like when we were in school, the old monk asked us to repeat the Immeasurable Sutra in the first five years according to the scope of the four volumes. This five years is also an overview!The old monk also teaches students in accordance with their aptitude.Then there is a certain scope for this beginner's repetition, and it should not go beyond this scope.

(XNUMX) Propagating the Dharma to be an opportunity

So what does it take to really learn to preach?It is necessary to be able to make sense of the opportunity to truly learn to teach the scriptures.At that time, I just graduated, and many people from Malaysia came to Singapore to ask for a teacher, so they came to make Dharma fate.I ran to ask the old monk, I said, old monk, if you want us to choose the content only in the four volumes of lecture notes, then it will be difficult for us to achieve the opportunity!Because each listener has a different level!The degree is different, if we want to make an opportunity, we need to use a little more abundant information, it is enough!I asked whether we can refer to other materials, and he said yes.

So we graduated in 2001 and graduated in June. Soon afterwards, I have finished all the Five Sutras of Pure Land. Among the classmates, I should be the earliest one. Everyone wants to say that they should keep for five years.This is not the case. I asked the old monk before. This is in line with what is said in the internal classics. It should be a reasonable opportunity!If you close the door and repeat the lecture at home, then the scope remains unchanged.Therefore, in this CD-ROM, the old monk also said that the Bodhisattva can teach sentient beings according to the righteousness and not the words, in order to make the opportunity, this old monk also made it very clearly, it is the way it is!

It's been ten years since we started to spread the Fa and graduated outside!Is it necessary to follow the scope of the four volumes of lecture notes?Who wants to listen?Everyone fell asleep well, and fell asleep after listening to them for ten minutes.Then it’s better to listen to the old monk talk more brilliantly, listen to what we talk about, right?Moreover, this is too sorry for the audience. If people come to the solemn dojo with such an intention, we can't always let people come to sleep!Don’t listen to the old monks saying, “Oh, sleeping also has merit. Okay, let them sleep peacefully. I don’t need any materials as much as I want. Just take out the old materials and read them out. Just repeat them!There will never be criticism.

Therefore, the old monk also said that the personal foundations are different. If you are willing to talk about one topic, you will talk about one topic. If you are willing to talk more, if you can follow the meaning but not the language, you can use it. This is in line with the principle of spreading the law. To make sense of opportunity.

(XNUMX) Thanksgiving for the achievement of Taoism from outside

(XNUMX) Thanksgiving for the achievement of Taoism from outside

So, really, practice is to look at yourself, don’t look at others.Where is your own ability?Where is your cause?How do you cultivate? It is up to you to decide. Others have other people's causes and conditions. Everyone is in a different situation. Why should you compare them?There is no high or low, everything is karma.So sentient beings must be especially careful about their oral karma, and they must know how to protect their own three karma to be pure.

I feel that I often feel the teachings of the old monk. What has been greatly benefited is that he often reminds us: Don’t put other people’s rubbish in your own heart, don’t look at other people’s shortcomings, just look at other people’s strengths. All people are bodhisattvas and I alone are really ordinary people. This Master Yinguang also said that the old monks often remind us to protect our three karma from being clean.

Really wise, don’t think that you didn’t criticize others, you are very disadvantaged, you are not worth it, you really have to cultivate your own virtues, clean the three karma, only speak good things, hide evil and promote good, and Confucianism knows to hide evil. Promoting goodness, let alone those who want to practice and become Buddhas.It’s not good, we know, just don’t learn. If you are a threesome, there must be my teacher!The good and the bad are our teachers. They are used as teaching materials for our teaching and activities. They are not for your criticism, but for your career.

Therefore, a truly wise person must know how to protect the purity of his three karma.Then, if we have a little bit of enlightenment, we need to be able to further understand the external realm of gratitude. The condition of good and bad is the cause and condition of our dao karma. We are all grateful, and this level is even higher.

Okay, so today’s time is up, we will study here, and we will continue to study with you tomorrow.

Amitabha!
