(XNUMX) The reward of selfless generosity

We veteran fellow practitioners all know that what we grow is what we get, we donate wealth through wealth, donation leads to wisdom, fearless donation leads to health and longevity, and we want to feel wisdom and debate, of course, we must plant the cause of donation.So we usually, the most important thing is to repair every day.Not only do we have to be sure of the death, the most important method and theory is our own experience, and we must be able to speak clearly.Therefore, through constant maintenance every day, I usually go out and bring a few discs with me anytime and anywhere, just like I used to circulate.

When I was a beginner, I set up a circulation agency. I used to do things with people every day. When I go out, in the car... I have several boxes of magic weapons at any time. In addition to the circulation office I manage, I also circulate the magic weapons outside at the same time. Point, there are about ten places on average. Every day, like a business person, I go to replenish goods, check and see how the circulation is, and keep the magic weapons in order at any time. Then we usually, housewives, or You are usually busy with work, but you can still do it with a little bit of heart. You can often bond with sentient beings and do good Dharma offerings. It depends on whether you have intentions, and you can bond with others wherever you go.Some places are relatively clean. If you know you, just mention it to him. You can put a little magic weapon here to get acquainted. It doesn't need to be too many. Ten or twenty pieces are fine. You don't have to be so professional!Do whatever you want, you do it easily and at ease.And you will find that you are making good ties with people everywhere, and you are very happy every day, unknowingly you have disappeared.This result is fast and very outstanding!This is me, myself, and can also be a proof.

I was around 1995, after I heard the old monk talk about the immeasurable life sutra... I immediately started to devote myself to the work of the circulation of magic weapons for nearly two or three years. Of course, during this period, I listened to the sutras every day. Smell the law.Recite the Buddha, worship the Buddha, and recite sutras, these are the basic tasks.

I rarely walk around the Sangha, so I don't know the status of the Sangha. Sometimes I go to the Taipei Hua Zang Library to participate in a group practice once a month, and then go home after the group practice.I don’t know much about the conditions of this dojo, and I rarely talked with fellow practitioners. In just two or three years, I can feel very rewarding results!

What's the result?Just once, this holiday, because since I started to study Buddhism, I wanted to ask for a world of bliss with my whole heart after chanting, so the old monk said: You can’t watch TV or listen to the radio. This is not difficult for me!Even if you don’t even have your favorite movie, what kind of entertainment will it turn into?On holidays, you can only visit the dojo to see if there is any new magic weapon to replenish it!I did it professionally, as if it were a job.

There was one time when I went to the Xinyi Road of the Hua Zang Jingzong Society, the monk group of Master Enlightenment, and that time was purely on holiday. I wanted to see the magic weapon. I had no other thoughts, but it was just under the karmic meeting. An achievement made by the public was made. Then, that time, I had a bond with Master Wudao, and after only talking for half an hour, I decided to become a monk inexplicably.After the decision was made at that time, I got shaved three days later. It was really a karma gathering!No one can dominate. If this is not arranged by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, who has this power?

At that time, I lived in the dojo, and the practitioners who had made their minds for one or two years or two or three years were later ordained. These senior brothers of the Zhuangzi generation have already made their minds for a long time, and they have not been ordained yet. As a result, I have not been ordained. As soon as he appeared, he suddenly became their senior.I was the first to be ordained. We have three women and a big brother. That shouldn’t be a big deal...because he is an old man, so logically speaking, he should be our old monk’s apprentice, but because I missed the cause of ordination, and later the old monk had already sealed his sword.So I ask Master Enlightenment to take the sword. Logically speaking, he should be the generation of the disciple of the old monk. Then he will become our senior brother, so we are the first three female congregants to shave.

Those who had been serving for many years at that time were ordained only later. The general rule is the same. If one of us wants to become a monk, we usually have to live in the Sangha for two to three years. On the one hand, we need to cultivate blessings. Cultivating blessings and becoming a volunteer; on the one hand, you have to slowly wear away your worldly habits and eliminate karma. At the same time, the people in this dojo and the people who are motivated by us should also observe each other themselves to see if your fate is right. Really in this place.Maybe after getting along, you feel that your practice may not be the same as you imagined in all aspects, and you still have a chance to regret it.So two or three years is necessary, but I shaved in three days. This is really unexpected, so what about this kind of fate!Very rare.

(XNUMX) Grasp the cause of seeking the law

Also, be motivated when you are a beginner. Before learning the Fa with the old monk, it was like a blank sheet of paper. I have never touched anything, so maybe because of this, compared with other students, the "Infinite Life Sutra" has this aspect. Maybe it’s a little more specialized. I don’t dare to say "fine", but it’s very "special" because I don’t know anything else! I have only learned this sutra, and all the causes and conditions... In short, the whole process of studying the Fa is difficult. Many things, but the grades in the study are very smooth, and in the process of studying the Fa, I also often receive the blessing and comfort of the old monk, and finally graduated successfully.

After graduation, the old monk invited Lay Cheng Yuan, and the guardian beside him asked me to see him and asked me if I wanted to go to Australia. After our fifth graduation, the old monk also said when he gave lectures, our first Five-year student, he is very amazed! For a reason to go to Australia, he first served as a teaching assistant in the first year, and there will also be a training class for propaganda.He was officially promoted to a teacher in the second year, as the old monk mentioned when he gave lectures.Then...Of course, the old monk blessed and cultivated so much, how dare I not say it!I said everything will be arranged by the old monk.But after that, there was still a little obstacle, that is, my own good fortune was not enough!Then I think about it and don't worry about the old monk too much, because such a small thing always makes the old people worry about it! So I left.

We graduated in June and left in August. When we left, we did not formally ask the old monk for leave. So not long after we left, we met Hong Kong’s Lantau Island Master, the next old master, who achieved my ordination.So after receiving the precepts, in order to get close to Master Shengyi for three consecutive years, I went back to Jie Xia Anju. On the one hand, Jie Xia Anju is also what we must do in the precepts. The process of Jie Xia Anju is mainly to learn the precepts. To learn the vows among the masses, this monk's vows can only be implemented in the Sangha, it is not useful if you learn it very well!

Therefore, if I went back to Jiexia for three consecutive years, then the fate in Hong Kong was very special. Every time the old monk lived in Hong Kong, the old monk happened to be at the Hong Kong Buddha Education Association. The fate was so extraordinary! At that time, the average of the old monks was about three. Months in Australia and three months in Hong Kong, every time I can run into it! Then I live in this Hong Kong Baolin Junxia, ​​because we are Taiwanese, we will leave the country once every half month, so we must go down the mountain, then Every time I go down the mountain, I go to see the old monk, listen to a class and then go up the mountain.

After the end of the summer in the first year, that is, after receiving the precepts, thank you teacher, there is a rule to thank you teacher.Then there are two masters for whom I thank the Master, one is the Holy One Master, and the other is an old monk. He is my master when studying the Fa. When I go to thank the teacher and then visit him again, because Thanking the teacher was just a ceremony. There was no conversation. When I visited him next time, because at that time, the old monk was speaking for four hours a day in Hong Kong.Time is XNUMX to XNUMX o’clock, and then XNUMX to XNUMX o’clock, four hours a day to speak Huayan Sutra, then he receives guests at XNUMX o’clock, he has dinner from XNUMX to XNUMX:XNUMX, and from XNUMX:XNUMX to XNUMX It takes five minutes for each group to receive guests, and his itinerary is arranged like this.

Once, I went to meet him formally after I left after graduation. It was the first one to meet. As a result, I started to be scolded as soon as I entered. I haven't even spoken yet... The old monk screamed. For twenty minutes, several groups of guests were unable to enter. As soon as I entered, I started cursing before I spoke. I wondered? How could it be like this? And all of them are that idiom, four words one sentence, and then to Finally, there is a poem as the end, twenty minutes, but when the old monk started to scold, I knew something was going on! I obediently listened to his scolding, and then... weird? How come the scolding hasn’t been finished for so long? I just kept looking at the time. For twenty minutes, I started to be anxious. Why? Because the old monk is waiting to give lectures, ah~ if he delays his lecture time, I will be too sinful.

At that time, I won’t be sad, why? Because I don’t know why I was scolded, and I don’t know the situation! Then as soon as I went out after scolding, wow~ it immediately became red, because everyone was so envious, wow~ The old monk scolded you for twenty minutes, wow~ it was an instant hit, but I still don’t know why I was scolded.Then the president Lingzi at the time, the president at the time was Lingzi, and she was also very helpful! She often troubled her because I went there in about half a month, and I didn’t dare to go after being scolded. Asking why? Because I was afraid that I would be scolded after asking, I did not know how many times I went there later, so I wrote a letter, because the way of writing a letter can write a lot of content. If it is to arrange a meeting, one Group people for five minutes, so many people want to see the old monk, and they really want to talk and they can't talk about anything.Just write letters. Usually, the old monk does not read letters. Unless it is a very important decision, otherwise he rarely reads letters. There is a Chinese secretary and an English secretary. We are all aware of this situation.

At that time, sometimes I gave it to the old monk, sometimes it was President Lingzi, or other deacons; I remember that once a week in a row, I only wrote a letter a day, and I wrote two or three pieces of content. There is a lot of writing, the old monk is very compassionate~ He reads it every time, and he writes back to me after reading it.That day.Using a red pen is like a teacher changing homework. Use a red pen to write a few words, sometimes a lot.Every time I am moved, I feel like myself~ Oh! I shouldn't have to worry about the old man so much, but I am ashamed and just passed it all at once.The next day, I wrote another letter for seven days! Then on the seventh day, the old monk glared at me: "There are so many delusions!" I started to scold again, and I didn't dare to write any more.

what is that?Seize the opportunity to ask for the Fa. It doesn't matter what the teacher scolds or whatever, we shouldn't think too much about it. There are always reasons and destinies.Finding the law is more important! We must seize the time to do meaningful things.Then I think my cause and fate in this aspect of seeking the Fa have really been outstanding, and I have been able to fulfill my wishes every time, just like the smooth results of this training class.Then after graduation, no matter how windy and rainy it is outside, it seems to me that there is a calm wave inside. I have never felt that there is a right and wrong. I just keep my heart at ease in studying the Fa along the way. Above, so if there is a reason for getting close to the old monk and learning of good knowledge, I think it's very smooth.

(XNUMX) The Pure Land Method is the realm of the Buddha Kingdom

Next, let’s look at the fourth line on page XNUMX. Let’s continue to the next passage: "When I was a Buddha, all sentient beings in our country will have to make up for the rest of my life. Except for their original wish to serve all living beings, they are enlightened by the oath to teach all sentient beings to have faith. Practicing Bodhisattva, practicing Samantabhadra, though the world is born to others, is always free from bad tastes or pleasures or listening to the law, or presents the spirit to practice at will. If you are not, you will not get enlightenment. Let’s see this paragraph first. There are two wishes in this paragraph: thirty-five, a life-long wish to make up for it.Thirty-six. Enlightenment as you wish.

After all, it will make up for life.This tone is very affirmative, and from this wish, we can be very sure that once we die, we will make up for the rest of our lives, and we will make up for the Buddha's position!It is equivalent to the status of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. In this fruit position of the Bodhisattva of Waiting for Enlightenment, "Waiting for Enlightenment" means the Buddha, and the Enlightenment is Stand by!Waiting to become a Buddha!If you go up again, you will become a Buddha!Well, this result... Ordinary people who rely on self-reliance to learn... If you hear it, there is no way to believe it. How can it be possible? I am boundless throughout my life. You have to cultivate the cause before you have the effect! Every effort is rewarded! It's possible that you don't need to practice and die to be able to prove the Dao, and you can get the Buddha position that can make up your life? So many of the forty-eight vows are unbelievable. This method is called the unbelievable method.

Master Na Tanluan’s explanation is: "The Bodhisattva of Bliss may not go from one place to one place and to make up for it. Sakyamuni Tathagata comes to Yan Futi and responds to Dao Er. The other side of the pure land, why should it be like this." Master Tanluan’s explanation is It is said that Buddha Shakyamuni appears in our world, and he has his cause.This world has the cause and effect of this world, but the Bodhisattva of the bliss world does not need to slowly realize the remedy position one place at a time; we first cultivate the cause and then realize the effect, that is because the Buddha Shakyamuni is in this world. The fate.In other pure land, who said it must be like this? Why should it be, who said that the cause and effect must be the same! Just like this world, here we are the earth! The moon has the state of the moon! Mars has the state of Mars! Saturn has the state of Saturn, its ecological environment, and its various causes are different. Who said it must be the same, right?

This is an explanation of Master Tanluan. From this perspective, because the world of bliss, its cause and effect are not only different from our world. It does not first cultivate the cause and then correct the effect. Not only this is different, but it is completely the fruit of the Buddha. Realm.What is the realm of the Buddha's fruit land? "Cause and effect at the same time."So our Pure Land Sect is also called the Lotus Sect. The "lotus" is the expression method. When the lotus flower blooms, his lotus seeds have grown at the same time. Because and the effect are at the same time, our Pure Land Sect uses the lotus as the expression method. Also called "Lian Zong", this is originally cause and effect, but it is different.

(XNUMX) The thirty-ninth wish is solemn and endless 

Let's look at the next passage: "When I was a Buddha, everything in the country was pure, pure and beautiful, with special shapes and colors.Poor and subtle, incapable of weighing.Although all beings have heavenly eyes, there are those who can distinguish their form, color, light appearance, name, and general proclaimers, and do not take enlightenment. 』Okay, see here first, this paragraph talks about a wish thirty-ninth, solemn and endless wish.This is a general introduction to the material environment in Elysium. Simply put-it is extremely beautiful! How beautiful! It is hard to imagine... it's so special.Poor and subtle, incapable of weighing.There is simply no way to declare and think, because this is completely revealed in the pure merits of Amitabha Buddha, and it is naturally revealed.

Our world is so turbid and evil—the five turbid worlds, which are completely reflected in our "greed, anger, ignorance, and delusion", and we naturally feel it.The outside world is what is revealed in our heart, and the outside world is one with our heart.We have no way of thinking in this state. So if you read the scriptures of the Pure Land Three Sutras, you are familiar with it. I have also talked about the sixteen viewpoints of the "Guan Sutra" before. I talked about it ten years ago. At that time, I talked about ten. The Sixteen Views are not meant to lead everyone to practice. It is very difficult to achieve success without anyone! At that time, the Sixteen Views were for analysis and to lead everyone to understand the beauty of bliss.

But in fact, after talking about it, it’s hard to really appreciate it. The best way is for us to learn from Amitabha’s wish, we really get closer to him, and after induction, then we really rejoice and recite the Buddha. Among them, you will have a realm. Maybe you are in concentration or in a dream, you can go to the Paradise of Elysium to play. Then the realm mentioned in this scripture...because there is no way to describe it...you can go there. You will know.

You can't describe it when you come back. Many fellow practitioners have been there, some in dreams, and some in concentration.Some people went to drink the eight merits water. There is no time to mention it here. I have mentioned it in other places before. It’s really the world of bliss, whether it’s going in a dream or in concentration. Once you go there, go to the world of bliss. You can use all the facilities.It’s real, not like it’s just being shown to you on TV, tempting you so that you can see it, and it’s not useable! The Eight Merit Virtues of Elysium can be drunk, and the fragrance on the body is okay when you come back after drinking it. It lasted for a long time, some one week, some two weeks, like Liu Yimin... He and Master Huiyuan joined together in Lushan. Among them, one of the eighteen sages-Liu Yimin, he just visited Dingzhong. , The Bodhisattva asked him to drink a glass of eight merits water, and the fragrance on his body lasted two weeks.

(XNUMX) The wish of immeasurable colors and the wish of Buddha

The fifth line on page eleven: "When I was a Buddha, the immeasurable color tree in the country was high or a hundred thousand years old.The dojo is four million li tall.Among the bodhisattvas, even though there are good roots and bad ones, they can still know.If you want to see the dignity of the Buddha's pure kingdom, you can see it among the treasure trees.Like a mirror, the face is like.If you don’t, don’t take enlightenment. There are two wishes and forty wishes in this paragraph, and there are countless wishes for trees.Forty-one, the tree is a wish for Buddha temples.In the world of bliss... there are many treasure trees, and we can see the temples of the Buddhas in the ten directions in this treasure tree.It's like our TV. You can watch any channel you want. You can turn it around.You are in the treasure tree...you can see the situation of the boundless and boundless buddhas and temples, including our place in the world of Saha. If we are born in the world of bliss and want to see what our family is doing, is there any way?

Yes, just go to Baoshu, stand there and see what you want to see. When you think about it, it will appear immediately.And it’s three-dimensional. If you don’t believe me, go and take a look. You’ll go back and talk to us first, but you can’t describe it when you come back. It’s hard to describe.So in this part, we don’t need to talk too much and spend too much time, we just have to know that it is really wonderful.Everything you can imagine can be used...all your wishes are fulfilled.You have what you want, and thoughts are all to help you achieve Dao Karma, and will not increase your greed, anger, ignorance, and depravity. It's not possible for you to enjoy happiness and depravity over there!

(XNUMX) The forty-second wish to fulfill the ten-party wish

Let's look at the next passage: "When I was a Buddha, the Buddhist temple where I lived was vast and rigorous, shining like a mirror, and illuminating the ten directions and countless, incredible worlds of Buddhas.All living beings have a heart.If you don’t, don’t take enlightenment. There is a wish in this paragraph: Forty-two, follow the ten directions thoroughly.

This shows how big our Paradise is.The scope of the Paradise of Elysium is as large as the ten directions of temples, which is hard to imagine! The scriptures do not say that there are temples of glazed light in the east...and on the top there are the temples of the Buddhas in the ten directions...and so on. Earth, there should be a lot of Buddha's land, how do you say that the world of bliss illuminates the ten directions? This realm is hard to imagine. We can use an analogy: It is like a lamp. There are two lamps on this side. This lamp has its own Does the light shine throughout the room? Yes.Does that light shine into the whole room? Yes.Does it get in the way? No.This is called light and light.No matter how many lights we have in it... Does the range of each light illuminate the entire room, right? There is no hindrance to each other! We are here in the world of Sapo, but does it prevent the Paradise of Bliss from being covered in this space? There is no hindrance! Overlap! This is called "Everything does not hinder the Dharma Realm", as mentioned in the "Hua Yan Sutra"

So scientists say it is a space of different dimensions, just like TV. The old monk often compares: There are many channels on TV. The first one you turn to is the world of Sao Po, the second one is Elysium, and the third one may be Liuliguang. The world... But so many different worlds are all on the same TV. It doesn't say you divide one piece, I divide one piece, how many pings are you, how many pings are you, no, they all overlap, they are all in the same space.So some people can see the sentient beings of the ghost path... alas, there is a ghost standing next to you... ah there is another one... here is another... is it possible? Yes.Its space overlaps! It's just that some people see that some people can't see it, then some people say, alas, is it possible for me to see Buddhas and Bodhisattvas? Yes.Maybe our place now happens to be in the water of the Seven Treasure Ponds and Eight Merit Virtues in the Paradise of Elysium. Is it possible? Yes.Every one of us sits on a lotus flower. Is it possible? If you say it is possible, it is possible! Whatever you want will come true!

It really is like this, its space is not hindered, this is the truth.But it’s hard for us to understand. It’s common sense to us...it doesn’t have such a concept at all, but this is what the Buddha told us; what about scientists...through various methods, it seems that they have discovered that there is a thirteen-degree space. One, we are one, the world of bliss is one, and there are other spaces of different dimensions all overlapping at the same time. They are all in ten directions, right? Not necessarily.Illuminating the ten directions is the world of bliss. This is the size of the wish that this Buddha made at that time.The world of bliss that Amitabha Buddha accomplished is all over the ten directions, and his land is the largest. This is the truth of the facts.

Therefore, Zen Master Zhongfeng said in the three-time system: "One hundred thousand times are not separated from the dust." This is not separated from the dust, and the dust is the dust. The one hundred thousand times refers to the world of bliss, which is said to be outside the land of ten trillion Buddhas.Wow! It feels so far away. Actually, it is in our present moment—not separated from the dust. As long as we recite the Buddha now, through chanting, we may see the Paradise of Paradise with our heart, or see the Paradise of Paradise with our eyes. We must be able to travel through time and space... Now we are entering a different dimension space, so we are going to the Paradise of Bliss. Should we sit far away? It takes a long time to sit on the lotus flower? No! The moment is here! Okay, this is the situation.

So in fact, it’s really easy for us to go to the Paradise of Bliss. Amitabha is still taking the initiative to pick you up. What are you worried about? His lotus flowers have been sent to you. You just need to sit on it, and with the blessing of the Buddha, you don’t have to sit for long now. ! There is also an old Bodhisattva which is very fun. An old gentleman said he would sit and die, and then he sat on the bedside, his body was not bad, that is, there was no sickness in chanting Buddha, and his filial sons and grandchildren were all around to help chanting, constantly Read... he said he saw Buddha Amitabha came with lotus flowers, he could tell it very clearly, and then his wife said, "Okay, then you go up quickly, don't wait, don't miss this opportunity." Then he went up. The person watching by the side only saw his hand stretched forward, and then his family was very anxious. Why were they surprised that both hands were stretched out, and they asked him, "What are you doing?" He said, "I'm sitting now. Go to the lotus flower, I’m afraid I’ll fall off when I’m about to drive away. I’m going to hold on tight and grab the petals of the lotus flower.” This is all my imagination. When we sit on it, the Buddha’s light shines right away. Arrived.It’s not what we imagined to have to sit a long way to reach the Paradise of Elysium. It’s not like that, and it’s safe to arrive. You don’t have to be afraid of falling.

(XNUMX) Forty-third wish Bao Xiangpu Xun wish

Okay, let’s look at the next paragraph: "When I was a Buddha, I went down from the land, up to the void, the palace building, the pond and the flowing trees, and all the things in the land were synthesized with infinite treasures.Its fragrance smokes the world in all directions.All beings who hear about it are all practicing Buddhism.If you don’t, don’t take enlightenment. 』Okay, see this paragraph, there is a wish in this paragraph that is forty-three, Baoxiangpuxun wish.

All the facilities in the Paradise of Elysium have a fragrance. When we smell this fragrance, it can give us the heart to recite the Buddha. It is also stated in the "Hua Yan Sutra": "There is incense in the hall of good practices, and the name incense is solemn, if Burning a pill to smoke the other world, Pu Ling initiates the heart of chanting Buddha. The same is true for the wonderful incense of the world of bliss. As long as we smell the fragrance, we will have the mind of chanting Buddha.This birth of the mind of chanting Buddha includes the faith in Amitabha-faith and willingness can be fulfilled right now. This is the cause and condition of helping the path.Sometimes fellow practitioners will smell the fragrance when helping others to recite. When Amitabha comes, there is fragrance on his body. When these fellow practitioners smell the fragrance, are they convinced of this method, right? Once we are done, we will be blessed. By seeing the light and smelling the fragrance, we can develop the confidence to recite the Buddha. This is the cause and condition of helping the Tao.

It is true that ordinary people like to smell the fragrance, apply perfume, or the fragrance therapy that is popular now... There are essential oils, which can indeed help our body conditioning, or the mood is also a fate, if we pass through the place where the environment is very dirty , Does the smell make you feel bad? Same, it will be affected.Especially the scent of the world of bliss is achieved through the virtues of Amitabha Buddha and his various merits, so it has a great blessing power. This is the environment of the bliss world—the solemn and all kinds of special conditions.

(XNUMX) The universal samādhi vows to make offerings to the Buddha, vow to receive the Dharani vow, is famous for enduring the vows and presenting the vows

Then there are five vows, these five vows: the forty-fourth vow, the universal samādhi vow.Forty-five vows, the vows of offering to the Buddha.Forty-six, get the wish of Dharani.Forty-seven, well-known to endure.And forty-eight, the present certificate does not retreat.These five vows are all directed at the Bodhisattva, so we won’t go into it in detail. We can’t understand this state, and it’s not directed at us, but we can see some of the key points from these. .Among the forty-eight vows, only the last five vows were issued for the Bodhisattva. The first forty-three vows were issued for our ordinary people. What message does this reveal? This method is mainly for our ordinary people—special methods.

By the way, give these five wishes to the Bodhisattvas to help them quickly become Buddhas. It doesn't matter if the Bodhisattvas have no pure land for survival, but they still have to cultivate for a long time by themselves, so by the way, make these five wishes for them.Therefore, Master Shandao is very clear that all the three generations and nine products are issued for ordinary people, so we have a share in the rebirth. Everyone must have confidence! Don’t think, don’t think again from now on, as long as I can I will be Amitabha when the next generation passes away. If you really think so, it will really be yours.What a pity! We have to think every day that I will be able to rebirth at the top grade-the rebirth of the older generation, should have been reborn, or even go straight to the retribution, surpassing taste.We have read the magic weapon in circulation several times, and we have explained this very clearly before.

(XNUMX) Really wish for the present state of mind

Okay, it's almost time for today. This time, we have finally completed the study of the entire Forty-Eighth Wishes, and we will finish it in two sessions.In fact, the pure land thought passed on by Master Shandao, the main theories and methods of our first wish to the twenty-first wish, have been explained very clearly and completely.But the next time we come back in five days, we need to start with the main points of the "Amitabha Sutra", and even if we have time, we will talk to you about the main points of the "Sutra of Immortal Life".We will use other classics and different perspectives to show you how to increase your confidence.

For example, in the "Amitabha Sutra", there is no confusion. This problem is very serious. Some people are frightened when they see the lack of confusion.Then we will use this passage in the "Amitabha Sutra" to give you a detailed explanation of what it means to be undistracted, and the general theory and method of becoming a Buddha.We have made the first twenty-one vows clear, so what we will learn later is to strengthen our confidence through a different perspective, so whether it is the forty-eight vows or the "Amitabha Sutra" or It is the essence of "Guan Jing". We must continue to cultivate, and continue to cultivate until we die.It doesn't mean that you have to read it three or five times, because this is the core method and the core theory in the entire Pure Land Method.Finally, we have mastered it. It is so hard that you listen to it once or twice and put him aside? Then you will study the other things further and further, and find the most important thing, you must continue to cultivate deeply.

The others are secondary and you can listen to them, but the most important part should be regarded as a scheduled lesson and you have to watch it every day.Seeing it every day increases your confidence, and the more you listen to the truth, the more you understand it. The more you understand the truth, the easier it is for you to preach to others clearly and teach each other.Otherwise, you are very touched now...Wow, I feel very confident in my death. You want to persuade others to say a few words and then you can’t go on. Buddha power is right, the Buddha will not lie to us...) There is no more information...How can people accept it? Relying on Buddha power? I don’t know where the Buddha is? Just ask you this sentence, you can’t say it! There is another way. In the "Amitabha Sutra" it says that "from the West there are more than ten trillion Buddhas and there is a world name called bliss." You have to at least point out that scripture to him, so you have to persuade others to at least say it. Be clear; if you speak clearly, you must read it ten times or twenty times, and it’s best to keep seeing it before you die! It doesn’t matter if you look at the time every day. You can see your own merits and fate, and make arrangements for yourself. In this case, every day You are blessing, and communicating with Amitabha every day, your inner touch will become deeper and deeper, and it is impossible to retreat.

You will withdraw because you don’t have Xunxiu. We have to concentrate on meditation. Didn’t we talk about it? If you truly believe in the wish, you will definitely recite the Buddha, and you will definitely like to recite the Buddha. Then you like to recite the Buddha every day, is it possible to retire? Huh? Impossible.On the other hand, if you don’t recite the Buddha every day, then your wish is not true, then you will retreat; your true faith and wish are initiated-sincere aspiration, and the desire for rebirth is true and will not retreat at the moment, that is, enter into right concentration. The gathering.Because you will naturally recite the Buddha. No matter how much you recite, you try to spend as much time as possible. You are not saying that you have to recite. If you are really too busy, you will also find time to recite. Then how can you quit?

Every time Amitabha Buddha chants, he blesses him, accumulating confidence every day.I remember the last time I recorded the last day at the Weide Hotel. After I left the scene, a fellow practitioner told me: There was an old fellow practitioner who was about XNUMX years old. Fellow practitioners, after five days of listening...I have already left the scene. He was very excited and walked to the stage and said: "Amitabha, I love you!" Has anyone heard it? It should be! An old gentleman is very ungrateful like this Shout, you see that the person is not a beginner, he is a person who is always practising mantras and meditation. He can still be touched like this, and he walked to the stage in front of the public. I didn’t see it personally, yes. Later, fellow practitioners told me that this was a natural touch.The blessing of Amitabha Buddha reached his heart. He had forgotten his emotions. He wanted to express his gratitude to Amitabha Buddha, and he was pleased with his kind of Dharma at that time, just like us... When I first came into contact with him, I could really appreciate the earth mentioned in the scriptures. Vibration, it's not a real earthquake, it's the kind of touch in our hearts...it's hard to speak.

So we must, the real cause and condition are sufficient, we have already made a wish to live in the pure land, we must practice, and we can no longer slack off.Be sure to start arranging classes, treat this as the most important thing, and believe it this way.Fellow practitioners, everyone can increase their confidence and wisdom every day, and the kind of inner touch. You will experience the details of walking, staying, sitting and lying in your life, and you will feel the blessings of Amitabha , Everyone can receive it.
Okay, then we will look forward to the next five days, we will continue to learn the essentials of the "Amitabha Sutra" together, Amitabha Buddha, thank you everyone.
