(XNUMX) Rejoice in reciting Buddha and see Amitabha

Dear Chairman Wang, be merciful! Dear fellow practitioners! Good evening! Amitabha!

I am very happy today. I saw many old fellow practitioners and new classmates. The atmosphere in our venue today is very good. Did the chairman of the board go to help and bribe?Our clubhouse is almost ready to get through, and I can't sit down anymore!

At noon today, there was a fellow practitioner who made a heart-to-heart offering, so this fellow practitioner is a female congregation. The last time we came to the Weide Hotel last year, we made Dharma fate with you, the first time we made Dharma fate, this fellow practitioner only listened to it once. After listening to a session, she immediately felt very strong, very happy!This is her good root, and she has good luck and destiny. So when I ate at noon today, I realized that she was just a beginner and started to come to us to practice together one or two years ago. So the last time I came, I also had a meal together. She told me that after listening to a session, she felt a lot of touch in her heart, so when she recites the Buddha, she has a special taste, and she likes to recite the Buddha, so if you like to recite, without stress, you will naturally feel the Dao friendship easily. As a result, She said that she had only chanted for a few days, and immediately when she was sitting in meditation, she saw Amitabha twice, one of the larger one and the other smaller one. I still couldn't see it!She has better roots than me!But when I was a beginner, I also had a lot of feelings.

So this is very easy, and it happens to fellow practitioners who are beginning to learn. Why?At the beginning, the heart is very simple.It's really ~ more than just starting to become a Buddha!It is not easy for us to be able to maintain this initial mind. Often some old people cultivate that mind...the longer we cultivate, the more polluted it becomes, which is very troublesome!So~ Sometimes the old repairs are also well repaired, but it's getting harder and harder to feel.That's because of the heart of the Buddha and Bodhisattva... He doesn't want to mislead you to pursue supernatural power induction, so he will often show it to you when you learn, or before you die, to strengthen your confidence!Like us, there is a fellow practitioner whose father-in-law is 93 years old! When he passed away at the age of 93, I saw three times in a month before he was alive. The first two times Amitabha came down from the portrait, it gave him confidence and encouragement!Admire him!

So his father-in-law is very cute, and he greeted him and said welcome; this is really felt by the good roots, and the people who usually feel this kind of induction, the heart is very simple, and the simple heart can naturally follow the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. , The same channel frequency, so it’s not very magical to sense something like Daojiao, and there is nothing to show off. It is a natural thing.Everyone has this opportunity, but our worrying habits are too heavy.Every day we only notice our troubles, and every day we are only busy with our troubles, so I don't have the mind to notice.

The blessings of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas!In fact, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are not always around us to bless us and use all kinds of methods!

It even includes waiting!I still have to wait if the cause is immature!Wait patiently by your side!

For example, we do not have respect for the Dharma. There are many ways for Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to bless sentient beings. If you do not have respect, it will be useless for him to tell you more.Even if this attitude and method, the attitude and method of seeking the Dharma are not right, He will see how much you can be taught as a person. As long as you don’t have a bad relationship with you and can listen to a few words, He will scold you and surrender. you.Buddhas and Bodhisattvas save sentient beings, with compassion and love, soft words and love, but also with angry eyes and vajra, evil horses and evil men ride!understand?Everyone knows!If you have a bad personality and strong, don't be afraid!Bullying good people and being afraid of wicked people will make you look like a wicked person, and you will be obediently obedient.Then if you are not taught at all, then you can’t teach you. If you say something about you, then you will be vengeful immediately, then the Buddha and Bodhisattva will not scold you, and don’t make enemies with you, but they will definitely not teach you and ignore you.

So some fellow practitioners come to ask questions, I will look at the situation, let's learn from Buddhas and Bodhisattvas!If you can teach, you can teach, you can scold you if you don’t care, you don’t care if you don’t care, we have to observe the seasons, but no matter what method we use, it is all to help these beings, not our own mood, preference, no!If this is the case, there is no effort!I don't have any kung fu, and saving sentient beings is not that simple, so the beginner initiates are the cutest.Today, they have a table full of people. It is all the fellow practitioners who took the initiative and patiently persuaded them to participate, because these beginners also have heavy karma!It is not convenient for housewives to go out. They can't come to listen to the scriptures, and finally contact and call to encourage them!

Everyone gathered together, and I knew at a glance that they had the intention to seek the Fa... Before the dishes were ordered, I began to talk endlessly. There was almost no time left for blank space, from the beginning to the end, talking about this director. Long said: "You give Master food to eat, and then continue to ask after eating! Everyone is very enthusiastic to ask questions, and I am very happy to answer!This is a natural induction. We will respond as much as you feel.

Respectful excerpts from the disciple Chengmeng (approved by Master Renjing)

(XNUMX) Nothing but no gain

For example, if you don’t kill, then I won’t kill!But you are still resenting others in your heart, still complaining.You think people don’t know, and on the surface you are very polite to your kinsmen and creditors, but you still hate him in your heart, so let’s die soon!It may not be that ruthless, but it is full of complaints. This is killing!You haven't really cut off evil, you are still creating karma deep in your heart, and you have not improved at all. How can you feel merit?So you really have to ask yourself carefully, reflect on yourself, and start thinking deep down in your heart. This cause and effect will never go wrong. If we are really working hard in learning, then the results have not yet come out. That~ one is that we are going to be ashamed, our karma is too heavy.

After a long period of time, I feel ashamed and continue to work hard. Don’t retreat. I haven’t seen the results for a long time. Some even blame the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. I feel ashamed and become angry after I have cultivated for a long time. In fact, it is I don’t have enough work hard, or I’m not able or smart enough!So the method is not very good.As a result, as soon as we cultivate, we become angry and become angry, because of greed, anger, ignorance, and the three poisons we are born with.Everyone has it, it is easy to present, so where do we keep the vows?

Remind yourself every day not to be greedy, hate, or ignorant. This is the fundamental worry, the heaviest worry. You should remind yourself whether you are angry anytime and anywhere.Are you greedy?Do you live your life with reason, not greedy, hatred, or ignorant? You have to start from here every day.Although these are not words of admiration, it is also a kind of painstaking effort. I hope that everyone can really improve in Taoism. Don’t think that, anyway, we can die sooner or later, sooner or later. This is something we can be sure of now, but we Without real practice, our troubles are still there.Life has been hard, haha, do you really hope that when you die, hell will appear before you?Then shouting?Oops!Finally passed away in a thrilling manner, so it would be too ugly to go like this!

So why don't we stop our worries now, let alone stop, it's okay to subdue.Every bit of hard work must be rewarded, and we have to be big-hearted, do it for others, do it for sentient beings, practice for sentient beings, and do a good appearance for sentient beings. This is to repay Buddha's grace.This mind corresponds to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. It is the mind that develops bodhicitta, self-interest and self-interest, so that the grade of rebirth can be high.Otherwise you can be in the middle or junior.So many things are for us to improve, and we need to improve. Don't think that you can die and you are so lazy, because people are easy to let go!It's not very good, if you have it, you need to change it quickly.

Then we learned yesterday that the master Yinguang’s life-long teaching has eight sentences in the general program, and the first four sentences: "Don Lun do your best, spare evil and be sincere, never do evil, and all good will follow. "Yesterday, I summed up all the evils in the three poisons, and these three poisons are our fundamental troubles.As long as we can get rid of it often, then we will truly follow the teachings and do no evil, we can slowly achieve Consummation.

Then all good practices are cultivating the Six Degrees Paramita, the Six Degrees of Ten Thousand Actions, and when everything is unfolded, all the good dharma will not come out of this Six Degrees.So the first four sentences are what Master Yinguang taught us that we must try our best to implement the fundamentals of being a human being and learning Buddhism.Then, we will do our best in front of you, and you will be honest with you. We also talked about this yesterday, doing our current duty.

So if we are from the standpoint of our lay Buddhist disciples, how should we come to Dun Lun to do our best and fulfill our duty as lay Buddhist disciples?This is duty, duty is also obligation. There are three aspects:

One is to respect the Three Jewels, one is to protect the Three Jewels, and the other is to practice as taught.

I have summarized it into three key points. If you enter Buddhism without respecting the Three Jewels, it means you have not entered. Therefore, the first one must be respectful. Master Yinguang said: "If you are sincere and respectful, you will get a profit."Very sincere and very profitable. Entering Buddhism starts with respecting the Three Treasures. The second one is to take concrete actions. You say you are respectful and you have done nothing. If you say you are respectful, that is also false.Therefore, it is necessary to protect the Three Jewels, which is Xiufu.Moreover, it was confessed by the World Honored One. This is an obligation, the obligation of the lay disciple.

The monk disciple has the obligation to become a monk. The obligation of your monk is to practice earnestly, and then do charity if necessary, and also to be a volunteer.After the layman listened to the Dharma, as a disciple of the Buddha, should he listen to the teacher?The teacher confessed to the lay disciples that it is necessary to protect the monks and the four disciples to cooperate so that everyone can achieve success.If they work independently and all perish together, because the laymen cannot hear the Dhamma, and the monks have no food, they have to go to confession, and then abandon this practice.Dao Karma can't be cultivated well, right?In the end is the demise of Buddhism!

So the Blessed One confessed to us that because you have no way to leave the house and you have to work to support the family, the layman confessed to the layman and protects the monks. Then the layman will cultivate his blessing first, and if you have no blessing, you will have no way to become a monk in the future.There is no such thing as a monk...Just study the blessing first. In the first stage of your blessing, the world’s good laws can be done with charity, but we are Buddhist disciples, and we have the obligation to protect the Three Jewels, so protecting the Three Jewels is the greatest practice. Blessing, you first cultivate the blessing and protect the monks. If you form this predestined condition and cultivate this blessing in the future, you will naturally feel a good condition of the Dharma, and a good knowledge of goodness will help you in your practice and improve your realm.

This is how I am, and I can prove it. When I was a layman, I devoted myself to doing this charity for the first three years. I paid for it and devoted myself to it, but I didn’t expect it to be a monk. Someone called me a monk, and I went all the way. The good knowledge that is close to you is so extraordinary that you can't even think about it. The great blessings must have a cause to have an effect.

Nowadays, many people are disrespectful and haven't practiced their blessings in a down-to-earth manner. They donate a little money to do some good deeds, and they talk to others everywhere, and the blessings are lost.Or if it is to provide for the monks, then there are conditions. You have to take care of him. I will pay to support you. You have to listen to me. Isn't that a deal?How can this be meritorious?As long as the monks listen to you, your blessing will be lost.Then I'll give it back to you, it's lost, so I don't understand this, the real support is unconditional!Then your blessing will exist!And the accumulation gets thicker!Only in the future will I feel the extraordinary reward!If you pay with the heart of trading, you will definitely get back at most, but the rewards are not great, and there is no merit, and the worst thing is that you are not respectful, and this is also karma!

Disciple Chengmeng Respectful Excerpts from Master Renjing Approved

 (XNUMX) Provide for the Three Jewels with an equal heart and get the ultimate reward

Without respect, you can't feel the fate of realizing your wisdom, because you are arrogant, arrogant.If you teach the Fa to you, you certainly won’t listen. You think you are better at cultivating yourself, but you still have to teach others, and your laymen want to teach nuns?Many of them are like this. Everyone should know that not everyone in the monks cultivates very well, and there is nothing wrong with it.But whether it is good or not is his personal cause and effect. We are laymen, in Buddhism, bhikkhus, bhikshuni, Upasai, Upayi.This is divided into generations. When we bhikshuni see a bhikkhu, we must respect him no matter how well he cultivates. This is to observe the precepts and obey the rules.

And to cultivate our own respectfulness, you must not have a sense of distinction, so respecting the Three Jewels is also equal respect, not just respecting your own master, every monk must be equally respectful, and that share of mind must be equal.It's not that you should all go to apprentice your teacher, and you can't be a clone. It's not that you should learn from everyone, but that you have to be equal and respectful in your heart, and you can't be discriminatory. How do you know if others have cultivated well? !It's not your ordinary eyes, you can see it, you have to use equal respect, we can truly feel and achieve this fate of our Dao Karma.

In the past, when the Buddha was alive, there was a monk who became a monk when he was very old, like our old Bodhisattva Zhang Wenliang.He has cultivated so well at his current age, and his face is so good. If he is a monk now, everyone will say: He has cultivated very well, maybe he has been a monk for a long time.

When the Buddha was alive, there was an old bodhisattva, a male group. He was a monk when he was nearly seventy years old. He has good roots and looks very kind. Only when he has good roots can he be a monk and become a monk.That is because the novice monks are the youngest, and the Buddha led all the monks to the palace to receive offerings. Then he was left to take care of the monastery. As a result, there was a female layman who was very respectful. Then he came to the monastery to pay respect to the master. , Go to the house to pay.

There used to be this kind of atmosphere, and everyone was gone. He was the only one left. But she didn’t want to go for nothing. She had to support the monk, so she begged for a long time and had to ask him back. The monk on the road thought, what should I do if I am miserable and wait a while?This offering?Usually, after the monks have finished making the offerings, the laymen provide for the four things. In the past, there was no money for the offerings, but for the fabrics, food, and medicine... Now it is only in China that the conditions are different.Then, after offering food, medicine, clothes, etc., the monks will give lectures.

This is the rule, mutual accomplishment; one four things to support, one law to give.He thought along the way: "It's miserable! I can't do it after I finish eating, how can I tell others?" He was very nervous.In the end...this meal must be indigestion, but in the end it is fine. The layman is very respectful and asks the mage to teach...At this time, the teacher, the looking old master, and the novice, there is nothing he can do. You must keep the precepts, and you must not lie.Just say honestly: "I really can't tell."There is no way, admit it! I didn't learn anything, I didn't understand anything, how to teach?He had to admit honestly, I'm really sorry!I really can't tell you.

As a result, when she heard this female layman, she immediately thought seriously: "I can't tell."What is unspeakable?Why does the mage want to teach me this way, what does it mean?She seriously thought... Suddenly, she was enlightened!It turned out that he was talking about the principles of the Diamond Sutra, all dharma is like a dream bubble, nothing is empty after all.So it cannot be said, enlightened.

People are respectful, he won't doubt that what the Master said is right or wrong?Is he repairing well?Anyway, he immediately associates it with what he hears, and connects with the association of Buddhism, and he will inspire wisdom.We all have the Buddha-nature of Consummation and we can be enlightened. Therefore, the external realm is a condition. Regardless of this external realm, whether this person has cultivated well or not, if you have no respect, even if it is Buddha Shakyamuni, It's no use telling you anything.In the past, when Buddha Shakyamuni was alive, there was an old mother from the east of the city who hated him when she saw Buddha Shakyamuni. She ran to chase him, but she couldn't save her. Later, she asked his disciples to save her. She was respectful. .

Then there is the fact that people who can truly become a monk must far exceed us lay people. This is true.Unless you are a Vimalakirti layman, and people show that they are ready to become a Buddha, there is nothing to say.

Respectful excerpts from the disciple Chengmeng (approved by Master Renjing)

(XNUMX) Respect for the demeanor of the monk's home and the public

As long as we are not enlightened, then as a layman, we must really respect the monks. The first one is a monk because of destiny, which means that his blessing is greater than you. This is the result of years of cultivation; the second He is able to become a monk today, even if his habit is serious, there are several ways he can do it that you can't do.The first one dares to shave his head, do you dare to shave?Shaved my head...I had a headache for half a month when I first shaved, it was very cold!And it’s long hair. I’m not used to it. I often touch it. The hair is missing from the previous habit. I’m not used to it. You must have the courage. The hair was beautiful before, and long hair loves being beautiful. You have to break this relationship.

Don't care if people think you are not beautiful. If you can give it up, can you give it up?And this is just a superficial appearance. What you really can’t give up is your inner love and resignation, including if you have a boyfriend, you must break up as soon as possible, and if you have a girlfriend, you must also break off your friendship, tears to see off, and your family. Family affection is the most difficult to give up. of.

We saw many scenes that were very moving. Parents, during this shaved ceremony, the parents came to worship others, to observe the ceremony, and then this monk bowed down to his parents and thanked him for his nurturing grace, in other words It is also cut off since then, cut off, but this "severance" does not mean that it is always "severed", but that it is equal to all living beings as a family, and there is no relationship with the past personal affection, so it is called "renunciation."

Let go of your family "layman", how much effort is this, did you cut it off?Even if they are reluctantly cut, they are still kung fu, they have done it, so the difference in kung fu between a layman and a monk is the difference between heaven and earth. Why can't you develop respect, you should develop respect, you should not just look at other people's shortcomings If you look specifically at the shortcomings of others, then the Buddha has shortcomings in front of you, and you will think, why did the Buddha become a male, why not a female, and not consummate? This is also a shortcoming.

You can find faults in any way, so it’s really in our respectfulness. Can we be able to inspire good causes and conditions to achieve our dao karma? As long as we are respectful, we see that everyone is a Buddha and Bodhisattva, you Naturally, the Three Treasures will be respectful, because the Three Treasures pass on the Dharma to you. No matter how bad they cultivate, they will pass it on to you on behalf of the Buddha. Without him, you will have no chance to achieve it. Shouldn't it be worthy of respect and gratitude?You just look at the shortcomings, and see that others are worse than you in cultivation. Those of us who are truly respectful, even children, must respect him.

 (XNUMX) Enlightenment from the Second Coming

I accepted a six-year-old apprentice a while ago. I really like him. It hurts to my heart. I said that he is a newcomer. In Beima, a six-year-old boy, he went to the airport with his mother. Go pick me up, he sees me, his eyes keep blinking, his "blink" is very charming!His eyes can catch people, and the simple look in his eyes is very friendly, and he is not only friendly to me, he is friendly to everyone, children are very simple, and the kindness is that he releases a message that is to Being friendly with you is such a message that I was caught by his eyes without knowing it.

I have been watching him and talking to him all the way, he has been blinking, blinking, and blinking his eyes. Then I went back and asked his mother. I said, "Strange why he blinked his eyes for so long." Later, his mother told me, and the president told me that she took him to the doctor, and there was nothing wrong with it. Then I told him, I said that actually his blinking eyes are really good-looking, but I told him Speaking, I said, "Don't blink all the time. Blinking like this is very tired, and your eyes will be very tired."

The doctor couldn’t see it well, and couldn’t find out the problem. Then I told him, I said, "You treat your eyes as your good friend. If you tell him not to blink, he will listen to you." After I finished speaking, I talked about other things, because I was only teaching him. I didn’t expect him to change so quickly. Adults would not change a habit so quickly. Even the doctors couldn’t deal with the problem, so I just I didn't expect him to make changes right away. After a while, I suddenly realized that he didn't blink anymore.

I was there for five days, and I told him that there were at least ten kinds of habits to change. I told him that he would change it immediately, which really scared me. I said this was a newcomer and I saw it at the airport for the first time. He, I told his mother: "You are a second comer, and your son is a second comer." I told her, because her husband did not come, do I say he is like a father or a mother?My mother is also very cute and honestly said: "Neither are alike", because his parents look like ordinary people, not bad, and have good roots. This person is really a "recomer."

I felt respectful towards him from the bottom of my heart. I didn’t get rid of the problem so quickly. He could listen to the scriptures for two hours and sit there obediently from the beginning. That’s because no one taught him before. Children are at ease. By the way, sit on this chair with one foot and sit comfortably, and swing one foot over there. I will tell him that it’s not OK. I will meditate in the future. I’ll just talk to him once, when I’m eating. , When listening to the scriptures, sit obediently at all times, and don’t need to remind the second time.

(XNUMX) Experiencing the process of monkhood and reverence naturally arises

So everyone is worthy of our study. As long as we know how to look at other people’s advantages, we will naturally develop respect. Everyone must be better than us. It depends on whether we understand or not, and are willing to learn humbly. Praise others and affirm the places where others surpass us. If we can do this, then we will naturally be able to absorb the strengths of others, form good relationships with others, develop respect for them, not to mention to achieve our practice. Monk.

We must cultivate a "respectful heart", it really can't... I often suggest that people should go to the monastic group and live for a few days for a short period of time. The more bitter the temple, the better. See how other monks practice. Generally, monks are monks. In the first five and six years of the precepts, you cannot go out. You have to serve the teacher and learn the precepts. You can only go out to study until a certain level. Therefore, you have very little chance to see the life and practice of monks, so contact us more. Only then can "respectful heart" really arise.

People can do far more than us, so the layman usually can only cultivate blessings. This is indeed the case. Since this is the case, then we are also happy to accept, content with our identity, and cultivate more blessings. Support more, on the one hand, recite more Buddhism to eliminate karma, and you can gradually ascend. One day in the future, there may be the cause and condition of becoming a monk, and we will have the ability to save sentient beings.

Even if you serve sentient beings as a layman, you must be truly capable, and you must be truly capable. In our Bodhisattva ordination, it is also allowed to spread the Dharma and benefit life as a layman, but it must be approved by the monks, your virtues, and then Your precepts, you have to truly accept the bodhisattva vows, the lowest standard is the bodhisattva vows, so the conditions for propagating the Dharma and benefiting life are based on your standard of keeping the precepts. It is not just that you can save sentient beings by renting a house and opening a shop. To save sentient beings and accept offerings, laymen cannot accept offerings.

(XNUMX) Equality and respect for all monks

The monks are now because there is no alternative to Kaiyuan. Sometimes for the convenience of management, Kaiyuan manages financial issues. For example, because of the open atmosphere in Taiwan, "Southern Chuan, Tibetan Chuan" has everyone. When they go to Taiwan to promote the Dharma and benefit their lives, they are very good. Well, Taiwanese people have a lot of thoughts and like to cultivate blessings. There is a "eight precepts" from the south. They can’t take the big precepts, and they can’t touch money. They can’t hold precepts. This basic precept can’t open up fate. They brought a layman in white clothes. As a waiter, I traveled around Taiwan to promote the Dharma and benefit all the way around Taiwan, and then I also wanted to go back to build a temple because she couldn't touch the money, so she gave it to the layman.

In the end, the layman ran away with the money, and she didn’t know the cause and effect. Then the monks had to recite the cause and effect, "common karma". She didn’t manage the ten-party support well, so she couldn’t help it. , You have to open fate to manage, unless it’s not "common karma" that has nothing to do with you, otherwise, this support must be handled very carefully. Then there is no way to open fate, and the layman can’t have a way to learn, open an account by himself and let the family come. Donations, I don’t understand a lot of this. At first I thought that I wanted to save sentient beings, and I didn’t know the cause and effect of memorizing a lot.

We don’t dare to think about your ability to save sentient beings. Really enlightened people don’t dare to think that they have the ability to save sentient beings. They just feel that the more they learn, the more they feel that they have many deficiencies. It is absolutely impossible to think that they are capable of saving sentient beings. Layers are often encouraged to respect the monks, not because we want to be respected by others, not because we feel that we should be respected, no!It doesn't matter if you respect or disrespect us. If you respect me, there will be no more flesh, and if you disrespect me, there will be no less flesh.

It’s because we have to clarify the words and the truth clearly, so that you can know how you can get real merits and how you can truly enter Buddhism. You have to talk about this. Some people avoid ridicule and fear that you will suspect that others want it. You are respectful and dare not talk about this. We don’t want you to be respectful to any one of us, but to respect all monks equally. Only then can you truly feel the cause and fate of your practice instead of just cultivating blessings forever, so why do you do this? I don't know about karma, because there is no "respectful heart."

I didn’t learn these rules, I don’t understand the reason, it’s just a kind of blind motive. At the beginning, the motives are actually deteriorated in the end, because people are selfish. Otherwise, why do you want to open an account, right?When I was a beginner, we just couldn’t get in. People said, "You give us a magic weapon, and I want to donate it with you." I said, "You donate to the school. I don’t charge money here. I don’t have time to help you. I have to donate the money for you. It’s very troublesome.” Right, it’s very simple. If you accept other people’s support, how do you settle this account?

(XNUMX) Keeping the precepts is the foundation of the virtues of the Dharma

What's worse is to fight against the monks and grab the believers. The monks are the best way to help them. Everyone is motivated, and the laymen save each other. We don’t often advise you to hurry up and invite relatives and friends to learn Buddhism. Sentient beings, everyone is living well together. The problem is that you should not compare with the monks. Many laymen like to challenge and ask hardships with the monks, thinking that if they compare themselves with the monks, it means that they practice better. I will tell you, all After all of the monks were defeated by you, I told you that the Buddhism would perish and there would be no Sangha. Then where do you go to become a disciple of the Buddha, right?

This is the same as the story of a two-headed bird. There is a bird that has two heads. This head is not pleasing to the eye and the other head wants to poison him to death. It turns out that he was poisoned to death one day. Then what is the end?I'm also dead, so I don't know that the situation is really bad, so I will scold him when I meet this kind of person, but I will simply talk to him and say a few words, because I will not listen to it and talk about it. Your mind is doing our part. You're absolutely welcome. If you want to establish your own Dharma predestined, that's great!Go and learn by yourself. Don't challenge the monks. Outsiders will read jokes. You don't have that ability. You really can't compare to you.

Because the real strength starts with the precepts, you have never learned the precepts, to what extent can you achieve it? I don’t believe that the merits of Dharma come from the foundation of precepts. The better you hold the precepts, the better your righteousness. The stronger you are, the evil is invincible. No matter how good your eloquence is, it’s useless. In the end, you will lose miserably. Of course, monks won’t win or lose with you, but they will guide you skillfully. , But I will never follow you, follow you to create karma, this is what a layman must do

Respectful excerpts from the disciple Chengmeng (approved by Master Renjing)

(XNUMX) It is the duty of the layman to protect the Three Treasures at will

How to "do your best"? Respect the Three Jewels, truly protect them, and do whatever you can. How much doctrine you get, how much motives you have, and support according to your own standards, more or less without comparing with others, just In your sincerity, then you are truly respectful, not to take advantage of Buddhism, that is a thief, unless you are incapable, the ten parties are also very welcome and happy to support you, you really want to practice ,well!But few people are incapable, right? One piece and two pieces are the same.

Everyone knows the koan of two pennies, it is "sincerity", because it is all his property, the proportion is all, and the merit is great, so you have to see if you have fulfilled your duties. This is a layperson. Otherwise, you will not be considered as a disciple of the Buddha. You have listened to the Dharma, received the favor of the Buddha, taught you the Dharma and did not collect money from you, right? Then you have the right, do you have to fulfill some obligations? Ah, so I should listen to the Buddha.

The Buddha arranged to confess, "You must protect the Three Jewels as you please." Otherwise, the monks have to go to confession. He is not willing to go back to the secular world. Then he wants to practice, but he has no food to eat. The body does not have this body of practice. , I had to rush to confess the scriptures, engage in a lot of charity, or engage in a lot of activities to attract people to Buddhism for all kinds of good roots, that is a last resort, so there are dharma conferences everywhere now in the temple, that is a last resort.

Who is unwilling to do the Taoist with peace of mind? This is because the layman has not fulfilled the duty of the layman. Of course, he will not be able to train people who are capable of spreading the Dharma. You can't hear the Fa-rectification. This is a relative vicious circle. You are unwilling to protect the monks. , That’s okay, you practice diligently by yourself, and you come to save sentient beings when you become a monk. We are also very happy, right, and very good!As long as someone is willing to practice and save sentient beings, it's good. It's not that the layman is not allowed to protect the Dharma. You can't promote the Dharma. No, but you are in this role now. The role of this role is to protect the Dharma.

(XNUMX) As deep as teaching practice

I also want to be a Dharma protector. I used to be a Dharma protector. Now I am tired of promoting the Dharma. After a long time, people may not accept it. The sentient beings are not saved, and there are a lot of slanders and jealous obstacles. Yes, the old monk said: "If you don't speak well, no one will look down on you. If you speak well, you will be even worse. You have no way to go. Everyone obstructs you wherever you go." This is true, but we are not afraid of it. Huo Lian.

I don’t know if there are obstacles outside. I don’t know if there are any. Because my Dharma predestined is pretty good. If Dharma predestined is good, there must be obstacles, but I don’t feel it. I will not pay attention to these things. I only do what I should. What we do, as long as sentient beings are predestined, we will do our part to make good destiny, and if he can get benefits, we will be very happy, and the merits will be fulfilled. The rest has nothing to do with us, so this is the duty of a layman.

Then you have to "teaching practice", you have to really learn "precepts", listen to the scriptures, recite the Buddha, and practice practice. People who listen to the scriptures don’t understand the truth, so you don’t know how to practice, so this The foundation is very important. For example, some fellow practitioners are also very good. They think that you should not have a view of the right to be equal. Therefore, the dojo is very busy running here, there, and everywhere. In the end, nothing is cultivated. This is not equality, this is doing. "Humanity Buddhism", equality is our inner equality. Don't exclude others.

Practice must be "one deep", one deep in the Dharma, and one deep in the dojo. This is called "sincerity." You really have the heart to practice in a dojo and use all the facilities and activities there, and then at the same time You also have to do your part to participate in all the parts that can be motivated to support. You are too busy to be too busy. What energy do you have to support everywhere? To speak nicely is to support everywhere. In fact, our heart is uncertain. This is us. Misunderstood.

(XNUMX) Contentment, gratitude, cherish and not greedy to climb

Thinking that we are cultivating equanimity, in fact, our mind is unstable. Then there is another situation, that is, we haven’t encountered the Taoist and Dharma that really make us correspond very well. Then you can see the relationship everywhere, and wait until there really is. If you respond accordingly, you have to "live in peace", so that it will help your practice. For example, "You really love a wife. If you really love her, you can't make girlfriends everywhere. Your time and energy are limited."

Didn't the Buddha tell us to love all people?It’s the heart to love all people. It’s not to marry everyone home as a wife. Then which house do you go to during the Chinese New Year, right, so you’re not sincere. You are good to this, sorry to that, right? That's ok, sorry for this, it's not used like this, and equanimity is not used like this.

Including learning, you respect your master, and you really want to practice your Fa, you can only be single-minded. When the Fa at this stage has been achieved, you can improve again. The ancient virtues are like this. Master sees what you think If this Fa is achieved, he asks you to go out to study, and if you don’t leave, he will drive you away. It is completely for your needs. He will achieve you what you need at this stage. Then it is definitely not a good thing for people to run around now.

Think about it for yourself. It’s because I don’t correspond to this place. The reason is not here. I still don’t correspond to the Fa. Or I have a little regret. Then you can communicate as much as possible. Look for the good and not the bad. Look, there is no Consummation, there is no Consummation Dojo, and there is no Consummation Dharma. For us, because our own hearts are not yet Consummated, so we have to look at the good side, and we should be "contented, grateful, and cherish." Greed, running around is also "greedy, climbing", the heart is easy to get distracted.

Unless you are really capable, you take good care of every place. Just like a man, you can marry three or five wives. You want everyone to be happy and not complain. That's okay. You have the ability. , The old monk also said: "You have to study the classics, one at a time, unless you have the ability, you can learn three or four at the same time, it doesn't matter." This Fa is not dead, the question is whether you have the ability.

Respectful excerpts from the disciple Chengmeng (approved by Master Renjing)

(XNUMX) Protect the dojo with respect

I met a layman in Taiwan asking me a question. I was in my XNUMXs or XNUMXs, and he seemed to be unable to cultivate well. She complained to me. She said, "Master, I have maintained many dojos since I was young. Shan, Tzu Chi, I ran around, but now I am old, and now I find that I am now worried that no one will come to help me when I die, and I am worried that there seems to be no one to help her..." I said, "You are not Have you gotten a lot of fate?", she said, "Yes, but it seems that I don't kiss anywhere."

You run around. It’s been a long time for people to see you once, or you come to practice together, and then you don’t care about things, and things need you, if you disappear, then they just treat you as a guest, yours Fate is originally a guest. You don’t have deep fate. Although fate is everywhere, but fate is not deep. So in the end, you will find that no one will help you because you are not sincere. You are not really in one place. Putting your time, energy, motivation and even cultivating in-depth, you don't really invest a lot.

You have to know that you will never leave "cause and effect" for what cause and effect, so if you run around like this, there is a cause and effect of running. It is just that you have a lot of conditions and you know a lot of people, but this condition is very shallow. It didn't help much, so she became uneasy when she was old, worried that no one would visit her and care about her when she was old, and no one would come to help her when she died, and then she complained to me that "Buddhist people are very realistic."

I said no!Many people are very happy and satisfied!Why are you discouraged and disappointed? If you look at yourself, she complains that Buddhism has a problem with Buddhism. You have to think about how you run around and your relationship is very shallow. May I ask who is obliged to take care of you, from the monk to the abbot at home? Those who place orders, everyone comes to the monastery to make their minds, all come to practice, all come to pay, who is obligated to take care of you, are you right?No one has an obligation.

Respectful excerpts from the disciple Chengmeng (approved by Master Renjing)

(XNUMX) Support the dojo with a dedicated heart

So the old monk said: "If you want to kill someone, it’s better to ask him to become the abbot." It’s really because the abbot is not good enough. The abbot has the heaviest responsibility and does the most work. He pays the most. You see something like this. The layman will blame the abbot, blame this dojo for not helping her, no one owes you, the dojo does not owe you, the abbot does not owe you, the abbot also came to volunteer to be a volunteer, how could he owe you, everyone who came to practice People come to get their hearts out, and they do more than you do.

Then why do you think it’s strange that people didn’t help you? They are very realistic. You have so many connections in Buddhism, but Buddhism doesn’t help you. Is this a problem with your own ideas? If you want someone to help you, it’s you. Sincerely go to form a good relationship with others, they are willing to help you happily, you have inspired yourself, and you do not have this condition, which means that you have not planted the cause of the inviting, although you have formed a relationship and you have done charity, If I go to this place as a volunteer, but it is very shallow, and the relationship is very shallow, and the retribution is not easy to come forward.

So you have to figure out not to make karma and complain at the end of your cultivation. Then who do you complain about?Complaining that the Sangha complained to everyone in Buddhism that you are sorry for being a monk at home, then you are not creating karma? You slander the Three Jewels, no one owes you, others can get great rewards if you cultivate; if you can't cultivate, you have the problem It’s not that there’s a problem with the Fa. You have to reflect on the reform to find out the reason, and then you can naturally feel the reward.

Like "Yu Jingyi", "Yu Jingyi" is the best example. If you practice the wrong method, it will be even more miserable. When others see it, alas!How can you cultivate like this when you practice Buddhism!It is even less confident when I watched that, but once people turn around, look!The destiny has been changed in three years. It is really our own problem. We can't blame the outside world for all the problems, and what causes and results.

This is a duty of our true lay Buddhist disciples. Dun Lun has done his best to do at least these three aspects. From "respecting the Three Jewels, protecting the Three Jewels, and further "practising like teaching", we must truly cultivate. Then you are at home. You have fulfilled the duty of a buddha disciple, and you can be a model of your family, a model for others, and a learning object. The first four sentences enlighten you: Good practice", we will simply stop here, because time is very limited.

(XNUMX) Giving is selfless dedication  

Let’s talk a little about the "Six degrees of generosity" in the back. Originally, we were going to talk about the Pure Land practice today. Let’s talk about the "Six degrees" a little bit. Yesterday, we mentioned a little bit about this. Giving, true giving is to give from the heart, and the method of giving is also very important. A wrong mentality can create karma, and a correct mentality can make you feel very rewarding. The most important thing is "no demand, no return." heart of".

Everyone should know that if you donate, if you donate, you really donate, then it’s not yours. Otherwise, how do you call it, so many people are like this. If you donate more and donate less, you think it’s my donation. So when I go to Buddhism, I have the right to take care of everything, even the donated food and food. Anyway, I have the rest, I pack and take home... Yes!He took it for granted that I gave it to him.All this is wrong, then this one has no merit, but instead has this sin karma.

So here I will tell you a very good example for everyone to learn. We are all familiar with the "Amitabha Sutra", only for the lonely garden. This "for the lonely elder" everyone knows that he is the great protector of the world-honored. Everyone knows that this is sincere and very sincere. After that, he did not interfere with Buddhism. How could he manage the monks of the Sangha? At that time, the monks were very respectful to the monks, and then they donated it. After that...because it is also the same in the precepts of the monkhood. "The monks must make decisions for the monks. The laymen cannot control it. This is called "rudha".

So after the "for the lonely elder" he just donated it, he continued to go to the ashram three times a day, bringing some food in the morning and evening to support and support, and then medicine or something... just take it with him, and then he keeps on going. Almsgiving continued to give, but he couldn’t get in and out. One day his family was lost and the money was almost gone, because he didn’t care how much money he donated. In order to donate this land, the prince would make things difficult for him, so he didn’t care about it. When the gold came to shop, I desperately gave it up. It was really sincere. It was terrible. Then, of course, if you donate this way, you will of course donate it.

(XNUMX) The retribution of a pure heart's generosity is incredible

I was also very rich in the first three years. I was quite rich when I was a layman, and the donation is over, but it’s not over. That means I’m not afraid, I’m happy to be poor, anyway, I can work, that’s how to give. , Not afraid!My grandma is more afraid of what she will do when you get old?But those of us who are in school feel the joy of learning, and we are not afraid!As a result, this "for the lonely elder" donated to the wealthy people who later had no money. Then this ordinary person has long since retreated, and the Buddha Dharma is not working. How can the family be in trouble when offering to the Buddha?

This allusion was recorded in the Dhamma Sutra, and then one day "To the Lonely Elder", the guardian spirit in his house was the guardian god we talked about. I couldn't help but talk to his master: "Don't donate anymore. If you donate to the family, you won’t even have food to eat.” I was really nervous and persuaded him, but what was his reaction to this “for the lonely elderly” and kicked him out without saying anything, “please You leave now, my home does not need you to guard, I have the Three Jewels, I have the Buddha to guard, I don’t need you to guard”.

This guardian elf didn’t think that the master would chase him out instead, and there was nowhere to go, so he went to find "Di Shitian," the "Jade Emperor" we are talking about now. Then Di Shitian had magical powers and said to him, "It doesn't matter. , You do a good deed to make up, and then go back to confess to your master, he will forgive you and let you go back again.”

Then this Di Shitian told him, "I tell you, because your master used to do good deeds, some people borrowed money from him and didn’t pay it back, and he didn’t ask for it. These people didn’t pay it because they didn’t have money. , But their ancestors hid a lot of treasures, and all these treasures rushed to the bottom of the sea, and no one knew about the bottom of the sea! They didn’t go to fish for it, and there were some unowned treasures on the bottom of the sea. For example, many robbers robbed the money. In the end the ship sank, similar to this kind of treasure without an owner and no owner."

If the emperor had magical powers, he told him, He said, "Take them all out and fill your master’s house." He taught him this method and gave him this message. In the end, he did the same and put the money. Find out all of them, and then go back to confess to his master. In an instant, "for the lonely elders" became a wealthy family, and more money than before.This is all causal, so don’t expect the retribution. The retribution will appear before the present. If he loses confidence at the time and retreats, then the retribution will not appear before. The ending is not like this, and history will be rewritten.

(XNUMX) Repaying the victorious by giving fruit with the body

Is there any reason for the previous cultivation?Yes, but the retribution will not appear, because you have lost confidence right now, so there will be no such developments in the future.There was also a poor couple with good roots, but they were not able to provide for them. When they saw someone offering to the Buddha, they wanted to do so. One day he was sad and crying. His wife said, "What are you crying for?" He said: "Others have the opportunity to make offerings to the Buddha. I have no chance." His wife was also very kind and said, "Then you sell me." There were slaves in ancient India.

She said you sold me, you went to make offerings to the Buddha, and then her husband cried harder. He said, "No, I can't sell you, I sell you, what should I do by myself?", The two people talked about it and said, let's sell it together. If we sell it together, we will have money. It is really to support the Buddha. This is called "physical and mental support."It’s really offerings. When we become a monk, we also "repay this body and mind, and we call it repaying Buddha's grace." We are really repaying grace, we are offering alms, both body and mind, so these two people are very cute and sell themselves. Then, he took a sum of money from the owner, and made an appointment for seven days before going to work.

Then he had to make offerings to the Buddha for the past seven days, but he was busy making arrangements for a long time. It was only on the sixth day that he found out that the day he was going to make offerings happened to be offered to the king. It was miserable!On the same day, he was a poor couple. How could it be compared with the king? The date was on the same day, but the king ordered them to reschedule, but they did not comply. They said that I had to support me when I died. So resolute, the king will give us death, and we would rather die than surrender.

Later, the king thought, who was so bold that I would not listen to my orders. There was no way to call them for questioning. After asking, I realized that they had such a courageous heart and wanted to support the Buddha regardless of their lives. The king was very moved. As a result, At the moment, it was because they insisted that they were not afraid of death, that the king summoned him, right?Then the king gave them a large piece of land, and overnight, you see that you have become a rich family. This is a sincere feeling, really sincere.

(XNUMX) The merits of a pure heart to give a pure feeling

Regardless of whether we practise generosity, we do everything from the heart without asking for rewards. Naturally, when the causes and conditions are ripe, the retribution will come forward, and it is not just to give up one thing, you can’t imagine it at all. , You really help a person sincerely. When the fate is mature, it might not be for you. Life can be given up to return you. Life is priceless. It depends on what you used to help others. When they return to you, it is absolutely More than your share of the heart, there is interest, and interest must be added. This is reasonable, and it is in good manners, for sure.

Therefore, we plant whatever cause and get what effect, and we don’t leave the cause and effect in everything. We don’t feel the effect of generosity because we don’t understand the method. We often have to listen to the scriptures and learn how to use the correct mentality and method to give to others. It’s people’s business not to make good use of it, because it’s not yours anymore, it’s the cause and effect of others, yours has been fulfilled, and the present heart of your donation is pure. You are pure merit, and there will be results in the future. .

This thing is not yours anymore. What are you worried about? It’s also a matter of others whether it’s good or not. Otherwise, don’t donate. If you don’t donate, it’s still yours. Then you can worry about this. Well, because you need to know how to make good use of these resources, there are causes and effects!It is right for you to worry about it, so that your mind will be pure. If you don't have this mind, then you simply don't give alms, so as not to create karma.

Why do you want to doubt whether people have used you well and put them down, is it creating karma?Others accept your offerings from the dojo, and the monks accept your offerings. He also transfers charity for you to make merits. They are also volunteers, and you have to be suspected of being unlucky by you, so many monks are unwilling to do so. When accepting offerings, he shouldn’t cause these troubles. Anyway, the Sangha has food and shelter everywhere. Don’t be afraid that there will be no food. Why do you need to accept the extra offerings and then transfer to charity?

However, the Buddha stipulated that "no" you must accept offerings to give the laymen the opportunity to plant a blessed field, and you must also establish relationships with others. Only in the future will there be karma to save others. Therefore, the Blessed One made this precept and took the initiative by begging. It’s not that the Blessed One is so rich and blessed to befriend someone, so why would he go to beg you if he has no food, so everyone must be respectful, and the monks are not without food.

(XNUMX) The Sixth Consummation of Paramita starts with generosity 

The volunteers at the dojo are all motivated. They want to practice their own practice while achieving others, so they must be grateful to cherish, respect and respect others’ intentions, and they must rejoice in common support, don’t say you It’s great to take some money to the dojo to donate to you. Whoever owes you, no one owes you, everyone in it is a volunteer doing more than you, so if you don’t have the right mentality to donate, you will not only have no merit, but also create karma. There will be this reward in the future, so you have to learn it. Of course you don’t understand if you don’t. If you don’t understand, is there any reward for doing wrong?Yes!Your intentional killing and this unintentional killing both have results. There are differences in severity, but both have results.

This part is because every person’s practice needs to start with generosity in the six degrees, so it’s very important to study with your heart. The generosity is really fulfilled. "Precepts, diligence, forbearance, meditation." Among them, you can feel the result of Prajna wisdom in the end, and generosity is the foundation, and the final result is to turn on "Prajna Wisdom." Then "precepts, patience, diligence, and meditation" are all used as a method of concrete implementation of generosity. Some of the principles of the human rights, so just donating one to achieve Consummation, the front and the back are all Consummation.

As for the precepts, the three conversions and five precepts, the eight fasts, the bodhisattva precepts, and the three roots that the monks have sufficient precepts. The three roots that the old monks often talk about are all precepts. You must learn as much as possible. Patience is particularly important. Patience is " All dharma can be achieved by tolerance." If we can’t bear all our merits, we will cultivate for a lifetime, no matter how much you cultivate, all will be missed, which means you haven’t cultivated, so it’s also very important to cultivate "forbearance", so why? It is said that the layperson has nothing to do with practice. Let me give you an example for everyone to hear about what is meant by "cultivation."

(XNUMX) All Dharma can be accomplished by forbearance         

There is a "Guangqin old monk" in Taiwan. His apprentice has a bhikkhuni. One day he asked the old monk to give her special blessings. She wanted to work hard to achieve her merits. The old monk nodded and agreed, and then there was no news. no response.After a while, she forgot about this matter, and then one day a lot of high-ranking officials came, because the old monk Guangqin was a highly respected great spiritual practitioner, and many people from Taiwan came here admiringly.

Some officials, the rich and elders all came to visit Lao Shang. On this day, the old monk Guangqin deliberately asked this apprentice to entertain him. He served as a "Master Zhike" as a hospitality, poured tea and entertained the guests, and then always despised her from beginning to end. What kind of tea do you pour this? Can you serve guests with this kind of tea? What is your attitude? Your actions are so ugly, do you have the authority of a monk? "Nothing is right, no matter how you do it, in fact, she does it very well. , Deliberately picky about her.

Then she must be patient!The teacher can’t respond to the scolding, and can’t talk back. It’s not like you’re a family member, and he’s criticizing you for ten sentences, and there will be people who will do it later!So you don’t have to cultivate. This is the basic rule of being a monk. No one dares to contradict Master. No matter what the master, we can’t contradict him. If we see it, we bow to salute. Everyone must abide by this basic rule.The precepts of the Sangha are very solemn and mighty, and should not be violated casually.

(XNUMX) Adversity is the cause of patience

As long as you go to the Sangha, you have to abide by the rules. Bhikkhus, bhikkhuni, male laymen, and female laymen, all have to be distinguished by generation.Each has its own seniority, each keeps its own duties, and must not be small or small, so how he scolded her, Master doesn’t make sense, obviously she did a good job, he has been scolding all the time, and in front of so many people It was ugly to her, her tears were about to fall, it was too ugly and too embarrassing, she kept holding back, holding back, "Yes, I'm sorry", and then kept entertaining like this, and finally endured all morning and finally sent the guests away. .

After sending it away, she went back to the squatter, collected her own baggage and packed it up, she also wanted to leave, she couldn't help it anymore.She went to ask the old monk for leave, crying and crying: "Master, I know I can’t do it. I am not qualified to practice. I can’t do anything well. That’s why you scold me like this. Master is not wrong. It’s my fault. I Go home to confess and meditate on your own.” Because she thought the master didn't like her, she scolded her so badly.The master laughed, and he said, "Hey! It's strange that you didn't come to ask me to help you and bless you to improve your Dao Karma that day?"

At this time, she suddenly realized that when she heard it, it turned out that the master was going to give her real guns and live ammunition. The real scene, you see, the extras didn't pay for it!When people come by themselves, they come to act in a play, so real to achieve your forbearance, right, so real, see if you pass, pass your merits, you will achieve it, fail at least once experience.

It’s embarrassing today. If you rub your face a few times, your skin will be thick. If you scold me, I don’t respond. I used to be repaired. Sometimes in the big jungle, what you do is wrong, or what you do is not to him. Deliberately want to fix you, make you!You really love us. If you are not a magic weapon, or if you have not made any mistakes, it is impossible and impossible for others to tune you and adjust you. This is indeed the case, and you will be very grateful.

(XNUMX) Thanksgiving for adversity to achieve the merits of forbearance

When we truly achieve this kind of forbearance, we really only have gratitude in our hearts. The people who come to trouble this object are all very small things. He doesn't really want to enmity us, he also just talks about the matter. Ah, so when we get this kind of merit in our hearts, we are really grateful.There is a scene like this, which is truly to achieve us, and all kinds of feelings in our heart, this is the real kung fu.

Then where do you look for this kind of opportunity? It is very difficult to have a chance at home, so generally speaking, monks have the cause of this practice, and you have to be able to stay in the Sangha, so that your merits can be achieved, not just cursing you. Just ran away. Then there is no way you are not a magic weapon. Then you can go home to cultivate blessings, so it is not that simple to receive the ten party offerings. This ten party meal is not delicious. You have to be able to cultivate tolerance and humiliation. People are right. You have to be able to accept your training.

Therefore, the diligent "paramita with diligence" can be said to be "diligence" only when it is able to become a monk. For a layman, as long as we practice together for a long period of time every day, it is considered diligent. It doesn’t matter if you’re tired and half-dead every day, you can’t do your homework well. It’s okay to do a long time of homework. As long as you keep setting lessons and taking part in continuous study, it is considered diligent. If you don’t retreat, you can "progress" and that is "diligence." Yes, this is fine by the standards of a layman.

What about "meditation paramita", we will talk about worshiping the Buddha "Yuga worshiping the Buddha" in the past two days. We can't cultivate other meditations, but we can get meditation by learning this "Yuga worshiping the Buddha." "Ask or not to cultivate" but naturally we will get this "meditation" effort, which we will learn tomorrow.

(Twenty-three) Honest and straightforward is the real good rooter

Then this "prajna" is "prajna paramita", "prajna" is true wisdom. Nowadays, some smart people don’t have wisdom and are self-righteous. The behaviors they do are all disrespectful to the Three Jewels, not down-to-earth, and always picking other people’s faults. Show your own intelligence, that is not wisdom, real wisdom is like some honest people.

For example, there is a record in the "Pure Land Sages Record". This kind of person is truly wise. She has no culture. Her surname is "Yao" or "Yao Po". One day, she happened to meet "Fan Po", her neighbor. The surname is "Fan," and she persuaded her to recite Buddhism. She has good roots. Although she doesn't know anything and has no culture, she is honest and pious when she encounters this fate.As a result, it didn’t take long to recite "Amitabha Buddha." She was in good health. Amitabha Buddha said to her in the air: "I am coming to pick you up and die."

When she heard: "So fast! Okay, okay! Amitabha, wait for me, I will thank Fan Po, because she introduced me to Buddha, wait for me, don't leave!" Then she just said Hurry and ran to thank Fan Po in a hurry.As soon as Fan Po heard, you are leaving so soon, okay!I saw you for a ride, and she ran out. She said that Buddha Amitabha was waiting for me outside, and then the two of them went, facing the sky, Buddha Amitabha was still waiting there, and then Fan Po met her and stood there. Seeing off over there, she just stood and died.

You see that she has no culture, but what she does is "the lower roots have the upper wisdom".Her behavior showed that she was a wise person, so she could feel such a great reward. As soon as Amitabha came to pick her up, she died without illness, died without illness, and immediately became a Buddha.Yicheng Buddha has achieved all wisdom. This kind of humanity is a truly wise person, and we must learn from this kind of person.

The people we usually look down on the most are those who are truly wise. We think that we are very smart, but in fact we have no wisdom at all. On the contrary, how can you understand this truth if you haven't studied Buddhism or listened to the sutras?So you really have to be brave, humble, and then start from the "respectful heart" and the "respectful heart for seeking the Dharma". Only when the Dharma comes before you can it enter your heart.

Okay, we are up today, let's learn here first.Amitabha!

(End of the second game)

Respectful excerpts from the disciple Chengmeng (approved by Master Renjing)
