(XNUMX) The Five Precepts are the basics of being a human being (this time, the master of drafting has not yet finalized the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Dear Master Abbot, Master Yamato is compassionate!Dear fellow practitioners, good evening, Amitabha! 
This evening is the eighth lecture of our ten-day lecture. It happened to be our eight fasts and three-time pujas tomorrow. This cause and condition is very extraordinary, and it happens that we are studying the "Infinite Life Sutra" this time. The main point is that we will also talk about the precepts for the content of the scriptures in the next two days, so this time is also properly arranged.The old monk Guangqin was a great virtue in Taiwan, and some fellow practitioners went to ask his old man, how should we practice as a layman?The old monk Guangqin went to Zen in his early years. Later, he specialized in Zhuhong Pure Land. The people who participated in Zen talk very clean and neat, and there will be no more words that are narrative. Therefore, the old man’s answer is very straightforward. He said: "Layee! Xiu! Cultivate blessings, just recite Buddha!” It means that it is really difficult to talk about practice in your family’s daily life. At most, you can have the opportunity to cultivate blessings in Buddhism, and when you are free at home. It is very rare to recite the Buddha. This also shows that practicing at home is a lot of obstacles and not easy.

What is practice?Generally speaking, the precepts at home start with the three conversions, which are the five precepts, eight precepts, and bodhisattva precepts. But in fact, when we study carefully, we really want to talk about the two words of practice. Strictly speaking, it should start from the monkhood and practice at home... What is practice?Our old monk said, Jingkong old monk said: "correct my wrong thoughts and behavior", but our fellow practitioners understand it very well!At home and even in life, let’s not talk about outsiders. My family members are not too dare to remind us of some habitual problems. If you say a few more words later, you will not be happy to turn your face... I’ve spent two to three years remembering this hate. If it’s not good, you can keep it for a lifetime.So now no one among the colleagues or even family and friends dare to remind, that no one dares to remind us that our own habits are not easy to find, and the authorities are fascinated, so this is a very difficult place. It is really not easy to practice at home. It is especially special to practice at home. It lies in action and practice. The real purpose is to transform some of our bad bad habits, behaviors, and a deeper level of our minds. The various thoughts and bad evil thoughts in our hearts must be transformed into them. , This is not easy!Therefore, the standard of laymen has actually fallen to a very low level. 

The Five Precepts are the "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith" as referred to by Confucianism. The Five Precepts are just the basic conditions for being a human being. If you fail to do these five precepts, you are not a human being.To be able to be called a good person, then you have to do well with the ten virtues, the five precepts are to stop evil, and the ten virtues are the cultivation of blessings. Now you see that it is not easy to be able to do the five precepts. The standard should start with the bodhisattva vow. The lowest standard for this bodhisattva vow is "six-fold and twenty-eight lightness." This is the beginning of self-discipline, and it also fulfills the obligations of a buddha disciple.It stands to reason that we enter Buddhism!Three or five years, the longest three or five years should be the time to start to receive the bodhisattva vows. I personally asked to receive the bodhisattva vows in the second year of entering Buddhism. So the five precepts and the three conversions are the beginning!This rule respects the teacher and respects the Tao, just like when we are going to school, we always have to sign up first. This is also a rule and a sign of respect, so we formally take refuge in the three first, and then learn the five precepts, so that we at least these basic bad habits You have to surrender, so that you can look like a Buddhist disciple.

Then, after a period of cultivating, you are no longer a beginner. At this time, you should start to perform a little obligation, because the five precepts are purely self-interested, and the bodhisattva precepts begin to be altruistic, and there are some obligations to be fulfilled. For example, the bodhisattva vows are obliged to provide for the Three Jewels. In fact, this obligation is that the Buddha's supernatural powers and wisdom are perfected. Will he be short of people's support?No, it is mainly stipulated that the layman should protect the Three Jewels, and the most important thing is to benefit the layman himself to actively cultivate blessings.Without blessings, you can’t do anything, and it’s very difficult to practice. In the future, you will have to save sentient beings. You look shabby. People look down on you, and you can’t save sentient beings. So the main purpose of bodhisattva vows is to help. Layers are more active in achieving true blessings and wisdom. For example, there is a precept. Someone in this forty miles speaks about scriptures. Of course, it is our related method. Then they are obliged to listen to them. They cannot stay at home and watch TV. Watching a movie and running out to go shopping.Unless you don't know, you must come and listen if you know, otherwise it is a violation of the precepts, and this has some obligations, so in fact, the main purpose is to achieve yourself.

The Buddha's ordination was definitely not meant to restrain people. All beings have the habit of laziness. If it is not prescribed for you, I am afraid that I am still obsessed with the five desires without knowing it.Even after entering Buddhism for ten or twenty years, looking back, he is still tacky, his habit has not changed at all, and his temperament has not changed.Logically speaking, we Buddhist disciples should be very compassionate and close. Most people should be vegetarian. People who are vegetarian should be pure in body and mind. Even animals dare to get close. That dog likes to bite people who eat meat. The dog’s nose is very good. Spirit, the taste of meat-eating people is different. Is there anyone here who eats meat-eating meat?If so, try as much as possible. If you can eat vegan, it will take about 7 years at most. All the cells of our entire body can be metabolized once. At that time, our inner temperament and even our physical condition are completely renewed, oops. !This is very special.

Then we have fulfilled the precept of not killing living creatures, and we can do it more perfectly. So this is because we are also one of the four disciples of the laymen and students of the Buddha. After receiving the teachings of the Buddha and gaining academic benefits, of course we must Do a little duty.On the one hand, we continue to actively accumulate blessings, and on the other hand, we are also doing our part as disciples. We help the Buddha, cooperate with the four disciples, become a monk and be responsible for spreading the Dharma and protecting the Dharma at home. This can truly enable us to "stay the Dharma for a long time, continued." "Buddha wisdom life", this is the responsibility and obligation that each of us should bear.So what to do?Of course you have to learn first, how do you learn it?You have to ask for precepts first. This is a rule and procedure.

Respectful excerpts from the disciple Meiling

(XNUMX) Asking for a sense of precept to be guarded by the guardian deity (the master of the draft has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Some people have wrong ideas, oops!I am not able to hold the five precepts well now, and I dare not ask for precepts. This concept is completely reversed. When you hold them well, you have become a Buddha. What precepts are you going to ask for?It's because we don't do well that we have to be big-hearted to learn the vows, so before we learn the vows, we must first ask for vows, and after we get the vows, we will formally learn the vows, and then after we learn well, we can do as much as we know.The refuge certificate we teach the five precepts says "learn, do, and follow." No one can achieve Consummation as soon as he takes the precepts. The same is true for our monks!After taking the precepts, we women have three hundred and forty-eight precepts. How could you have your hair shaved and achieve all three hundred and forty-eight precepts? It's not the Buddha's wish to come again. No one can do it, so it's the same!After you ask for the precepts, you must listen to the precepts and learn the precepts, and then continue to hold them one by one in your life. If you do not do well, you can repent and repent.

The most important and most valuable thing is our desire to get the precepts. When your heart is sent, half of your merits have been obtained. Don't let half of your merits go for nothing, right?As soon as we ask for ordination, we will have this guardian god. There are twenty-five guardian gods with the five precepts alone. They are by our side day and night. After we ask for the precepts, we will have the guardian body. What is the guardian body?Generally speaking, there are four kinds of precepts: precepts, precepts, precepts, and precepts. Precepts are divided into two types: monastic precepts and family precepts. Precepts, body, are the physical body, body The character of the body.After preaching the precepts to you through the preceptor, the whole ritual process, and his teaching, after such a ritual is completed, the spirit, ideas, and methods of precepting have entered your heart, and then Naturally, there will be a kind of righteousness!

Those of us who want to take the precepts will have a sense of righteousness. This is invisible, but many fellow practitioners were originally afraid of taking precepts. Later, after changing their concepts with him, after asking for precepts, they would walk with their heads upright and their hearts would be different. Very safe.Because we know that we have a guardian god, and there are guardian gods and guardian gods around us, to help us protect this precept, this is that we will have changes within us, and those who ask for precepts are different, so ask to receive the five precepts. Asking to receive the bodhisattva vows is different. The five vows are just for benefiting myself. From the beginning, I want to stop evil, to be a cleaner person, and to improve as much as possible. That's why there will be such a blessing.If we are receiving the bodhisattva vows, then the mentality is different. Starting today, not only will I cut off evil and cultivate goodness, but I will also show compassion and benefit all living beings like a bodhisattva, wow!The temperament that appears is different again. There are more guardians of the law and guardians of the ring. Is it difficult to hold the vows of the Bodhisattva?It is not difficult to keep, the five precepts are five, and the bodhisattva precepts are six plus twenty-eight, how much?There are only thirty-four precepts, thirty-four precepts!If there is enough time tomorrow, I will also talk to you by the way.

In fact, it is not difficult for us to practice these precepts. The most important thing is that we must be motivated. For example, when we see a sick person, we can’t ignore him. If you ignore him and ignore him, see him fall on the side of the road. You have no reaction at all, where is like a Bodhisattva?The Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva hears the sound and saves suffering. Where there is suffering, we are the first to run away. Then we have received the bodhisattva vow, we just want to learn to be a bodhisattva, and the seven emotions must be like a bodhisattva, so there is a vow in it. If you see someone is sick , You should try your best to take care of him, help him, and visit him.It’s not difficult for you to do it. The people’s rewards are so great now. It’s really not easy for you to see a person on the side of the road who fell ill. You have to cultivate fortune!That opportunity is not necessarily there, and this patient is in this sad field, and the blessing we cultivate is the greatest, and the best blessing we want to cultivate is from here.

Don't keep seeing it, wow!Only famous masters can provide support, and only the avenues can provide support and support, and then some small characters and small people are ignored, then you are wrong, and often you will miss some opportunities to achieve real merits and blessings, so you must really want If we know how to keep the precepts, we must understand the teachings and listen to the scriptures, know that we must learn from the Buddha and Bodhisattva's equanimity, and follow our predestined conditions.Moreover, in this precept, there are also "opening, covering, holding, and breaking" in keeping the precepts. It does not mean: Oh!I am holding this precept now, and I accidentally committed it. What should I do if I am miserable?In the beginning, you are born with troubles, but in fact, sometimes you can open up the relationship. Don't fall out with your family for the sake of keeping the precepts. It becomes difficult to get along with others.

For example, if you have the Five Precepts not to kill and want to be vegetarian as much as possible, then when you get home, you will split it into two groups with your family. You eat meat and I am a vegetarian, and then you have to buy a new set of pots. Otherwise, you will get the smell of meat, there is that smell of meat, and even this kind of almost innocent behavior, people will see you very strange.So as much as possible to achieve Consummation, it’s best to bring all your family members to a vegetarian diet. It’s also good for your health. If their fate is not yet mature, don’t try to force them, you can still cook meat. It’s okay to give it to your family, but you have to recite the Buddha's deeds in your heart. This is compelling. This is called Kaiyuan. Kaiyuan can be opened. Kaiyuan is a convenient last resort, and when it is really for the sake of others, don’t do it. It is not for your own convenience to make others feel troubled at this time. It must be for the benefit of sentient beings or to avoid the troubles of sentient beings. Only then can we open up the predestined relationship and open up this convenience, but try not to open up the convenience as much as possible.

Like me, I expect myself as much as possible, especially the precept of not being liar is difficult to keep. Many people are wise. I want to save sentient beings. Therefore, I have to seduce with my desires, and then I will become the wisdom of the Buddha. I talk a lot all day long. Lie, then tell yourself, anyway, I'm doing him well, I want to save him!Is this right?We are not good at keeping the precepts, and we are not good at saving ourselves. Are you still capable of saving others?So it is difficult to keep the precept of not being liar. We must try our best, that is, don't open up the predestined condition, don't open up the predestined condition casually.What kind of talent is qualified to open fate?Dharmakayas and Arahants really have a pure heart, and everything they do is for the benefit of sentient beings, not for their own sake.

Respectful excerpts from the disciple Meiling

(XNUMX) Asking to learn the precepts to keep the precepts can avoid creating karma (this time the master drafting master has not set the school, if there are typos, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

We ordinary people are not planning for ourselves all the time, including our parents, who seem to have nothing to say to our children. No one is closest to our parents and children. It seems that they must be unconditional for their children. In fact, they are not. Looking for a girl to become a phoenix, isn't it to satisfy your vanity?Compared with others, my family’s Xiaobao’s classwork is better. Our sister also learns piano and what violin, and shows off to others, regardless of whether they have studied hard or whether they are interested or not, even parents are like this. , But the parents did not intentionally, because people are like this, people!Ordinary!This is human nature.Therefore, we must not take too much of our three poisons, greed, hatred, and ignorance. We must restrain our own body, mouth, and mind through the precepts, so that we will not unknowingly continue to do evil karma without even noticing it.If you can detect it, then you will usually not continue to cause evil, because you always believe in cause and effect!It is not too outrageous. The problem is that most of us have no way to detect it. It is too natural for us to do evil, and we are too accustomed to it. This is the habit of our ordinary people!So you must be required to take the precepts, and you must learn the precepts. After you learn, you will know how to avoid karma and how to truly achieve real blessings and wisdom.So today I just met this cause and fate, and I am also very happy that I just rejoice in your heart.

Today we have so many fellow Daoists here today, and you are all like monks today. Oh!We are fellow Daoists, you are a post-student and I am a senior. Although the hair is not shaved, but the precepts we hold, the eight precepts seem to be eight precepts, but in fact they are nine precepts, two of which are combined together. , Is also close to the ten precepts of novice monks. There is only one precept of not touching money or not touching money. You did not hold it. This is not among the eight precepts.However, starting from morning till night, you will be able to learn and maintain the precepts with diligence and peace of mind under the compassionate arrangement of Master Yamato from morning till night, so that means that all ten precepts can be completed.You have to cherish such a good opportunity, such a good environment, and how to arrange it with your heart. It is really rare. Then the greatest merit and benefit of this eight-pass fast is that as long as we have received the eight-pass fast for one day, we will be sure in the future. There is an opportunity to become a monk, but it is not so simple.

In the past, when the Buddha was alive, there was a person who wanted to be a monk. The Sariputra and their Arahants had very limited magical powers. He went into concentration to see if this person had good roots. It took considerable good roots and conditions to be able to become a monk. For a long time, people didn’t have good roots, and they didn’t plant the good roots of a monk, so they didn’t shave him. Later, when the Buddha came back, he just met the Buddha and said that he could shave him because the Buddha’s supernatural powers were more perfect. He knew that he was long, long, long ago. Once planted a little bit of good roots, with this little bit of good roots, you can become a monk, and the destiny is mature.Therefore, even if we have only received the Eight Passes in our life, we will be a monk for one day, and there will be a cause for becoming a monk in the future. If we only practice at home, we can at most attain the Three Fruits, and the Four Fruits Arhats will not. If we practice on our own, In other words, there is no way to consummate the Dao Karma, and you still have to become a monk to be able to truly consummate the board of directors. Therefore, it is a great merit to hold the eight passes.

This is different from the nature of the bodhisattva vows. Although there is only one day, its merits are not inferior to those of the bodhisattva vows, but its nature is different. Consummation means that he will live to the fullest life or the future, and this precept can exist for all generations in the future. Different natures are very unique.Those who have received the Eight Passes by predestined conditions today, especially young people, should let the predestined conditions mature quickly and become a monk in this life. Now the social environmental education environment is so bad, you spend a lot of money to learn skills in cram schools. Learning knowledge. In fact, those who really often lose their wives and break soldiers, learn a lot of bad things and come back, pollute our body and mind, grow our self slowly, and learn a lot of knowledge and technology. As a result, our morality and body are not purified, so now we have to learn to improve ourselves.

The best place is the Sangha, so men who become monks can also be monks. Whether you want to beg a wife or not, it’s better to be a monk and do exercises. It’s a habit like Thailand, and men will be monks for at least three months. Short-term ordination, this is a very good experience!Can make you truly become a real man, not the same.Because the ordination itself is something that a non-general can do. This is something that a big man can do. The big husband surpasses the generals and prime ministers. Such a... this kind of commitment person does something that is not easy to do. , The burden of the Tathagata family business, so the lowest standard, at least devote yourself to a short-term ordination experience, in the future, if you want to be a protector of the Dharma, you can do better, and you will truly know how to respect the Three Jewels.

You see the monks that you can usually see outside. Those are the habits of the lay laymen, chatting and joking with you. There is no such thing as the monks in the Sangha!If you look at it, you will naturally have that kind of awe, like when we see the bhikkhu, we are trembling with fright!Don't dare to joke, we are very strict in the jungle of the Sangha, we accidentally called you to hit the incense board and kneel in front of the Buddha to beat you, how dare you be a stranger, how can you see people like you?You see our Master Dahe is so easy-going, he won't be angry no matter how you joke with him, that's Hengshun sentient beings!All day long, telling you the precepts with a stern face, if this doesn't work and that doesn't work, you will soon run away, alas!Since it is so difficult to practice, I immediately retreated, so I had to wrong myself, so I couldn't stay in the mortal world for too long.

I didn't dare to stay too long, and I would soon run into the mountains to hide, or else the tacky habit would show up again after staying too long, and it would be bad if the habit was contaminated with the red habit unknowingly.Therefore, a monk, especially a young person, really has to make the mind. Not only can you spread the Dharma and benefit your life, but also benefit all living beings to take on the family business of the Tathagata. Even if you are a short-term monk, you can greatly improve your body and mind. This is what you don’t learn in the world. It’s so good that it’s free, and it’s free. You see, the Buddha and Bodhisattva has kept the blessings for XNUMX years and provided for the cultivation of our four disciples. We all depend on the Buddha for food. What merits and merits, such good resources should not be used. 

Then in the society, they spend money arbitrarily, cheating people everywhere and failing to learn good things, including school education. The quality is not good, and it is really not good. According to the standards of our practice, and the school The environment is becoming more and more complicated. The teacher is afraid to teach the students, for fear of being threatened by others halfway home, or sue the parents. Tomorrow the principal will come to punish the teacher and become like this. Then who dares to teach?So even if in school, people form parties and don't join a party, someone will immediately fix you, which is terrible.So how do we improve ourselves?It’s not enough to study on your own. If you work behind closed doors, you will not be able to really improve in your life, but will increase your ego. This kind of obstacles to know, you think you know a lot. If you don’t really correct your habits and behaviors, you are not qualified. When it comes to spiritual practice, no matter how many Buddhist classics you read, it will be useless. You will forget all of them when you get older, right?When the memory is lost, it is forgotten, and it is of no use at all.So practice is talking about real guns and live ammunition!It's really a bad habit of treating oneself, and it must be corrected.

Then we women don’t need to hear and say, oh!There are so many three hundred and forty-eight precepts for women, so how do you keep them?In fact, as long as we learn it and we develop habits in our lives, these precepts are actually to help us live a very healthy, very law-abiding, very comfortable living habits and lifestyle, very comfortable!Don't want to say that keeping the precepts is a very restrictive thing.Actually not, you just have to learn it and use it in your life. After you get used to it, you won’t feel bound. It just sets you up some more standard life routines, so you can hold it and wait until you develop a life. Habits, why do you feel tied hands and feet?Nope!On the contrary, people in the world are in a mess, things are messed up, things are not organized, and they don’t care about hygiene. You will not be used to it, so you will keep these precepts in your life. You don’t think you are keeping the precepts, it is natural, so from this concept Turn it around first, and you will know how to cherish this opportunity.

Learning to learn is to help us continuously transform and improve our dignity and temperament. Otherwise, you are usually yourself, we women love to be beautiful, like makeup and wear beautiful clothes, and want to dress up more attractively, and it takes a lot of money. Is the money effective?It may not be effective. Too much skin care products and wait for allergies to go to the doctor. It is very hard. To really make yourself attractive, you have to transform from the inner temperament of our temperament, as well as our body, mouth and mind, and the majesty of walking, staying, sitting and lying.After you have learned it, you will naturally be able to show this different attitude. Even if our facial features are ugly, but as long as you have a good temperament, many men like it, and the men who really have connotation and cultivation are looking at it. A person’s temperament is not based on a person’s appearance, how thick or thick the makeup is. That is, people with poor qualities will appreciate the appearance, so we really smart people must transform from the inside, so that learning the precepts and keeping precepts can help us become There are too many benefits for a person who is truly attractive and loved by everyone.

Respectful excerpts from the disciple Meiling

(XNUMX) Bodhicitta has always been dedicated to reciting Amitabha Buddha (the master of the draft has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Then we will talk about the scripture again tomorrow, so we will continue to talk about the commandments, and then we will continue to study this topic "The Essentials of the Sutra of Infinite Life". Yesterday we learned the seventeenth article. , Next is to look at the "Eighteenth Rare Super-World", from the eighteenth stage to the twenty-fifth stage of the third generation of rebirth. These few grades talk about the dignity of the captured sentient beings, that is, the rebirth to the world of bliss. The dignity that all sentient beings can obtain, that is, if we are reborn into the bliss world, we can get the special rewards.From the eighteenth product to the twenty-third product, it is about "retribution," and the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth product are about "cultivation of the cause." With the cultivation of the cause, you can naturally feel the retribution, so we start from Let’s look at the two products of "cause" first, the "Twenty-fourth of the Third Generation" and the "Twenty-Fifth Cause of the Departure". We must first be able to die, and we must be able to cultivate the cause before we can feel all kinds of things after we die. Guobao, we see that there are a lot of content in the XNUMXth product of the third generation of rebirth in the scriptures. It seems that there are many conditions for rebirth. In fact, if those conditions are to rely on self-cultivation and then return to survival, then of course you have to go to those The conditions are maintained as much as possible, and then those merits can be turned back.

But Master Shandao told us that if according to the most standard and purest method of the true Pure Land method, the reason for deceased rebirth is based on the eighteen vows. As long as the eighteen vows have sufficient "faith and willingness to do", XNUMX% of the Buddha's power can be used for cultivation. Thousands of people go, no matter what our skills, old Bodhisattvas and even children, as long as they motivate Amitabha to come and lead them, they will become Buddhas as soon as they die, and then the taste of the rebirth can go straight to the land, that is, to transcend these three generations, here Above the third generation!This is the most extraordinary, so we don’t have to be in these three generations when we die, and we don’t have to meet the various conditions mentioned in the scriptures of this grade before you can die, no.Of course, it’s okay for you to cultivate like this, it’s more difficult, and two or three of XNUMX people may be able to die, and these two or three may not have our share. Go back and read the twenty-fourth grade of the scriptures and the standards of that. It’s not so easy to do, but we have to learn and do as much as possible. The simplest method is also the most stable. Everyone will be able to die. That is to rely XNUMX% on Buddha power according to XNUMX wishes. It is really a method that Amitabha Buddha wants us to hold.

So if we don’t rely XNUMX% on the power of Buddha to die, and if we don’t surpass these three generations, if we go straight to the land and see the Buddha immediately, we still have a little doubt, then it will be based on the depth of our doubts and our sin obstacles. The depths are different, and the same will be born into the third generation and the ninth product, but we just think, oops!My karma is so heavy, even if I die in the next generation, this is not the case. If we are to judge with our skill, let alone the next generation, we have no share at all. It is not that simple, relying on ourselves.So what if the three generations died according to the teaching of Master Shandao?It is all about encountering fate. It depends on what kind of fate we encounter. The three generations of the previous generations are encountering ordinary people. All three generations are aimed at us ordinary people. We are all partakers. If we follow the teachings of other ancestors, then the older generations are all great people. The kind of kung fu where the Bodhisattva reappears can only be done. Then we don’t have a share, but the master of guidance is the Amitabha reappearance. He told us that these three generations were originally created for our ordinary people, of course everyone has a share. .

Then the greater our mind is, we encounter Mahayana, and then our confidence is stronger. Such people die in the third rank of the upper generation, and the third rank of the middle generation meets the small ordinary people and the Hinayana people. Be careful and ignore others. It’s good if you die as soon as possible. This kind of person dies in the third rank of the middle generation, and it is also based on our doubts, and the level of confidence, etc., these are all related factors, the third rank of the lower generation meets ordinary people, It is the five evils and ten evils mentioned in the "Guan Jing", we can die if we break the precepts, don't be afraid, oops!This is afraid of breaking the precepts and dare not ask for precepts.The six-character name of our method "Nanwu Amitabha" has boundless powers, and all kinds of sins can be eliminated. We learn the precepts and hold them as much as possible. It is really bad. We repent and recite the Buddha to eliminate karma without hindering death. The scriptures in "Guan Jing" of the third generation and the ninth grade are very clear. Who are the people of the lower grade and the third grade?Doing the ten evils means that the ten good will not do well. On the contrary, it is doing the ten evils. Then who is the next-generation middle-grade person who dies?People who break the precepts.Lower grades are born with five evils and ten evils, killing fathers and mothers, killing Arahants, and breaking up the monks. Such serious crimes have already been committed, and they are still reborn.

We are not that bad!So this method is really incredible. It is completely saved by the power of the Buddha. It is accomplished by the power of the Buddha's will. Otherwise, how could it be possible that you who are going to go to hell after all the evils and ten evils, how can you be reborn to become a Buddha? To become a Buddha, it is the most correct according to the theory of Master Shandao. He is Amitabha Buddha who will come again. Then other patriarchs are from the standpoint of other sects. It is not wrong for them to cultivate in that way, but they have not mastered the core pure land. The practice inside.Then it depends on our fate and the kind of statement you respond to. People who really have great virtues and virtues, when they hear XNUMX wishes, wow!As long as I rely on the Buddha’s forty-eight vows for salvation, I only need to believe and then I am willing to make a vow. The method is very simple. When reciting the Buddha, it is always contemplation, that is, what is said in the cause of rebirth. It is to send Bodhicitta and pay attention to it. Sending Bodhicitta is "faith." It has always been dedicated to "action." Like the purpose of the "Amitabha Sutra", "belief and wish to do" are based on the power of the Buddha. We believe XNUMX% of Amitabha's salvation.Confidence will not be shaken, otherwise others will tell you, oops!You don’t want to go to the Paradise of Bliss. That is fake. Where is the Paradise of Bliss and Buddha?We are confident of Amitabha's Pure Land in our hearts. When it's miserable, you just think, it's only in my heart, not outside, and your confidence will be shaken, right?Can't stand the test.

How did Master Shandao tell us that even if the Buddhas in the ten directions, the body of the Buddha appears...The statue of Buddha and Bodhisattva comes to us to persuade us, don't go to the Paradise of Paradise, it is more solemn to go to our Buddha land.There is a place called "Xiangji Kingdom". He will be enlightened as long as he eats. It’s so good that he can get enlightened as long as he eats. You don’t need to listen to the scriptures and the teachings. The Medicine Master Tathagata is also very solemn there. If there are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, even if there are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Of course, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will not do this kind of things, and Buddhas will not do this kind of things. Then some monsters and ghosts will also show some weird appearances to shake our confidence.Therefore, Master Shandao reminds us that even if it is the Buddha from the ten directions, he showed us before us and advised us not to go. We are not moved, do not doubt, really believe that Amitabha is in the world of bliss, in the world of bliss in the West. , As long as we have a thought and really want to go to the world of bliss and become a Buddha, we have to leave this five-turbid world, this world of Sao Po is too bitter!It’s really hard to say, so I’m determined to go. As long as our willingness is determined, Amitabha will definitely pick us up, and none of them will be missed.

In fact, the world of bliss is not very far away. It is not outside the land of one hundred thousand remembrance buddhas. It is convenient to say that the world of bliss is right now, and Buddha Amitabha is beside us. This is a fact, but it is difficult for us to understand it only by our wisdom. La!But we know this fact is good, so when we, regardless of whether we died accidentally or in a coma, if you read the scriptures, "If the Buddha reaches three thousand, the Buddha's mighty virtue and belief can exceed", the whole earth will burn. Don't be afraid, when it's time to die, Amitabha is standing by and waiting for us at any time.The lotus flower will appear immediately, and you will go up. Your spiritual consciousness will go up. It doesn't matter if this body burns out. Don't be afraid. There will be no accidents. Oh!If others take away, you will be left. It is absolutely impossible to miss you and not take away, unless you are unwilling to go. Our method is so simple, so Amitabha’s kindness to us is really too great.

If we don’t rely on Amitabha’s aspiration and believe that Amitabha relies XNUMX% on Him, we just know that there is a world of bliss, and it’s very difficult for us to go on our own. There is no way, we can’t go.We are like a baby. If you have to climb the Himalayas by yourself, how can you have that ability?Impossible!You can’t walk at all. You still want to climb to the top of the mountain. How can there be a way to go to such a high realm as the Buddha's land? So we really have to rely on the Buddha, and only Amitabha has saved us. There are even a thousand Buddhas in this enticed wish, and the "Song of Tragedy" says a thousand Buddhas. He is not even willing to come to our world, because the sentient beings in our world are too strong and difficult to transform.If I can not come, I don’t want to come, but I can’t, because to be bound to Amitabha, Amitabha’s wish is our wish. Amitabha wants to save all sentient beings from all directions, and we must also save it, but it doesn’t matter as long as we are born into the blissful world. We have that ability. The other Buddhas in the ten directions are unwilling to come, because they think they are incapable!It's not that there is no compassion, and it can't be saved!It can be seen that our beings, the beings in our Saha world are really too strong and difficult to be transformed, so difficult to be transformed that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas dare not come. If they come, they will come in vain, and they can't be saved!It really is like this.

Respectful excerpts from the disciple Meiling

(XNUMX) Buddha Amitabha is the king of Buddhas (the master of the draft has not yet finalized the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merits are boundless!)

Our world is like a worm in a cesspit, we people!Heaven and human beings pass by, pinch their noses when passing through the sky, oops!It smells like that pig, it smells like we are smelling the pig in the pigsty. The Blessed One describes us as worms and maggots in the pit!It’s a pleasure to eat stools inside all day long. You are not accustomed to picking it up and washing it clean. He drinks bitter and poisonous food, and has no rest.Some people don't have the intention to leave the Three Realms, and they still think it's good to be a human being!Just like the maggots in the cesspit, they are obsessed with wine and property all day long. You see how smelly the wine is, but they like to drink like, wow!awesome!I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, and then I am very happy the more I drink, the happier the people around us will find it scary!It's smelly and the posture isn't decent, you see if it looks like these in the cesspit, this kind of karma is really heavy.Therefore, the Buddhas in the ten directions did not make a wish to be completely saved. Of course, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are very compassionate and come to this world to teach sentient beings. Don't give up, but the effect is very limited.

Look at the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's great wish, hell is not empty, he swears not to become a Buddha, he himself is not willing to become a Buddha, it is important to save all living beings first, but the problem is that after a long time, there are still many living beings in hell!After finally sending him out, he came back two days later.So he later found out that it was wrong. He seemed to be unable to complete this vow, so he made another vow. Then he would go to the world of Saha to save sentient beings!On the one hand, he rescued the sentient beings from hell, on the other hand, he was also first enlightened in the world of Sao Po, oh!Don't create the cause of going to hell again!I always save you, and the rescue is endless, so of course the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are very compassionate, but if they are not persuaded or enlightened, they can be completely resolved. Our karma is really too heavy.Therefore, when it comes to wisdom and compassion, there is really only Buddha Amitabha. He is the king of Buddhas. He is extremely respected in light. Our karma is so heavy. Only Buddha Amitabha can completely save us. He did not come to this world to teach us and teach us to be How to practice morality, concentration and wisdom, no, he directly asked us to go to his land, and he transformed us into Buddha's merits, and he has spent immeasurable kalpas to help us cultivate.

Anyway, he knows that we can't afford to support Adou, and it's useless to teach, so I will do the calculations for you.He walks the path of the Bodhisattva for us, and he helps us to fix it in time of immeasurable calamity!Just like that mother.Look at that father, Buddha Shakyamuni is like his father, oh!Teach you what to do, study well and behave well!He persuaded us for a long time that we might not be doing well, so the mother was reluctant to look at it!Damn!The children are also very hard, reluctant to suffer too much, and studying is also very hard. I will do the fortune for you. Amitabha, like a mother, loves us to the extreme.And only He has the ability to make us become Buddhas as soon as we die, wow!So it is worthy of being the king of the Buddha.So our karma is so heavy. After teaching other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas for a long time, we can’t learn, nor can we learn if we want to. We also want to learn the precepts, and we also want to keep the precepts. We don’t do well, right?So there is no way, there is really only one way is to hold Amitabha tightly, call him by the stalker, call him by his name, and tell him in my heart, I must die to your pure land, you Must come to pick me up, this is a wish.

Many fellow practitioners asked me how to send this wish?I said just post it like this!The Patriarch has spoken a lot of vows, and it seems to be very satisfactory, but sometimes the realm is too high, and everyone finds it so difficult. It seems that it is very difficult to make a vow. In fact, it is very simple. As long as you are willing to go, this is the vow. The focus is on you. If you really want to go in your heart, not just talk with your mouth, talk with your mouth, Amitabha has magical powers!He will not come.So there is only one reason why Amitabha did not come, that is, the vows you made were false. Besides, none of them would be missed. Why did Amitabha Buddha not come to pick you up when you said that you have been chanting for a long time?Because what you read is fake!Amitabha has his own mind. He knows what you are thinking. How can he come to force you? If you don't want to go, he won't come to force you. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas follow all beings.So these two products, the three generations of death and the cause of the death, are written in this scripture. For us, the practice is more difficult. We follow the guidance of Master Shandao. Just like the content we just talked about, this is The real reason for rebirth is to rely on the eighteen vows to believe and do, and to rely on Amitabha, as long as you make a vow, you can always meditate on more Buddhas when you have time. As soon as you rebirth, the upper, middle, and lower three generations, we Everyone in the upper generation has a share. It is still very difficult for you to want the next generation. You are not that bad, at least the middle and upper generations have the opportunity.

Respectful excerpts from the disciple Meiling

(XNUMX) The Elysium is a solemn retribution to the land (this time, the drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merits are boundless!)

Then after we pass away, we can feel these retributions. The nineteenth product of "receiving the feet" and "receiving the feet" means that we are reborn into the world of bliss!Whatever you want and what material conditions you need, everything can be met. As long as you move a thought, it will appear immediately, wow!How extraordinary this one is!So in other words you don’t have to make money anymore!No need to work, no money, we are busy all day long, for what?In order to meet our needs!You have to eat, wear, and use, you have to be extravagant, and enjoy it, and you will be a slave for these all day long!

We don’t have to work hard to go to the Paradise of Elysium. If you have a thought, you want to eat, the meal will appear immediately, and when you have finished eating, you will have another thought. It’s gone, and you don’t even need to wash the bowl!I am so happy to hear here for the first time!Damn!That's great, because I can't cook, and the dishes are greasy, oops!It’s better not to wash it. It’s great. Three meals a day are now two meals that save trouble. It’s also a big trouble to face every day!Then we have to go out for transportation, then we will go to the Paradise of Bliss, we all have magical powers! It’s very convenient for you to go there. You can eat, wear, live, and use. If you want to live in a villa, you can have a villa. If you want to live in a palace, you have a palace. You can also live in the air. You can be on the ground, whatever you want, it is really comfortable, whatever you want, women want cosmetics and beautiful clothes, you go to Paradise, oh!You have everything you need for jewelry, just a thought is enough, it is true.

"Twentieth character of wind and rain", this is about our time to eat, and the wind blowing accompaniment music to tell us about the scriptures, and enjoy it while eating and listening to the Fa!When we go to the world of bliss, it seems that we are practicing, and we feel that we live in the most pure and happy state of mind all the time. No matter what we do, we dress, eat, listen to the scriptures, and even take a bath in the eight merits water. ,Damn!I am very happy and enjoy all the time, do you want to go right away, really smart people, oops!Why do you stay in this world and suffer?Even the children told him to go quickly, don't stay in this world and suffer!Some people say, oops!The child is still young, you told him to die, right?It seems unlucky, wrong. In this world, if you really see through, you still hope that the children will leave sooner than us, and it is better to go to the Paradise of Bliss earlier. To go truly is really to get away from suffering and enjoyment.

Make no mistake. Suffering in this world is for retribution. There are many last resorts. The Blessed One speaks of sufferings and sufferings. No one can escape from birth, old age, sickness and death!Wouldn't it be nice to let him leave suffering earlier?If you really understand this truth, you really understand how auspicious things we are to live in Paradise, and Amitabha Buddha, you know that good things should be shared with good friends, and if you don't give it to others, there is no such reason!I wouldn't dare to talk about this if I were to be elders and not studying Buddhism, oops!Cruel, you tell the children to die!He thought to die.Some people even heard about Amitabha and thought, oops!This is not auspicious. Every time they see someone dead on the side of the road, they hear this Buddha name when they are doing seven. They all misunderstand that it is not auspicious.

Those old bodhisattvas who don’t learn Buddhism actually don’t understand that Amitabha is the most auspicious of "immeasurable light and immeasurable life." So I made a video in Malaysia before. The disc in it also mentioned this because there was a misunderstanding by fellow practitioners. The Bodhisattva misunderstood, then her children are very filial, so she should ask me to enlighten her, so that she will turn around and really take refuge in Buddhism and start to dare to recite Amitabha.I found out later, wow!Many old Bodhisattvas have misunderstood that she can recite Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, but she does not dare to recite Amitabha Buddha. Every time she sees Amitabha Buddha, there is a dead person in her family!When he was doing seven, he would recite Amitabha next to the mourning hall. They would inevitably misunderstand it, because Amitabha's power is boundless, and no one can save a person when he dies. Only Amitabha has the ability to save. It can be seen that it is so auspicious, and it means immeasurable life. The concept needs to be clarified.

In the "XNUMXst Grade Baolian Buddha Light", this is to explain to us that there are lotus flowers made of seven treasures everywhere in the world of bliss, big and small, very beautiful, in this flower there is light shining, and in the light There is a Buddha, and the Buddha can speak for us. This kind of scene is hard to imagine!What does it mean to "determine the ultimate fruit" in the XNUMXnd product?The various living environments in Elysium are so beautiful, and you can listen to the scriptures everywhere.Therefore, as long as one rebirth proves that the ultimate fruit must become a Buddha, this is mentioned in the twenty-second stage, so because of the various extraordinary results, it is mentioned in the "Twenty-third of the Ten Directions of Buddhas" All the Buddhas in the ten directions are willing to come to praise and admire Amitabha's merits, which really surpassed them. They worshipped the wind, and recruited students for him, recruited students for Amitabha, and enrolled these disciples and students in their own land!All of them are sent to the Land of Bliss to study abroad, because it is faster to go there and become a Buddha.

Buddhas and bodhisattvas have no selfishness. As long as they can get the greatest benefit for us, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will never leave you around to hinder your growth. It is impossible. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are not like ordinary people!He doesn’t care about your Dharma body and wisdom. Anyway, you just stay by my side and do things. Patriarch’s virtue is like the old Zen sect. In the past, the patriarch’s virtue was not possible. You get close to him to a degree and he sees you. , He can teach you everything he can teach you, and you have a good root, and you can improve further, he will guide you a way, where you go to study again, that’s it, it’s all for us Dharmakaya thinks wisely.

It's not like many of them are ordinary people now!If you get close to me, you will follow me for the rest of your life. If you don’t follow me, as soon as you leave, you will betray your teacher. You have betrayed me. It doesn’t matter if you leave for the Fa or for whatever reason, this is Ordinary people, selfish, true practitioners, it's impossible, true practitioners like to be pure, oops!If you want to leave, hurry up. If you want to graduate and leave as soon as possible, I will be more relaxed.Our purpose is only to achieve others' Dao Karma. If you have achieved it, then I will have accomplished all the merits!Why stay by my side? I won’t be bored and don’t need others to accompany me. This is the mentality of practitioners, so of course we are unavoidably selfish. Sometimes people also value you and like you!Just keep you around, but this is all selfishness.

Respectful excerpts from the disciple Meiling

(XNUMX) Survival, Bliss, Fu and Hui Shuangxiu (This master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merits are boundless!)

Just like parents love their children and prevent them from going out to study, they will turn into flowers in the greenhouse. In the future, when their parents die, wow!When a child grows up, he can’t do anything, he can’t do anything, and people can’t do it. When he comes to society, he is incompatible with others and his wisdom has not increased. Then this kind of doting will harm him and hinder his growth. , So the selfishness of ordinary people is really terrible. Then this is the situation we are in. It is very difficult for you to learn Dao in our period of the end of the Dharma. There is no good knowledge!very hard.It’s rare to meet someone who is really practicing, but he’s already much better than other people, those who are practising falsely, but it’s hard to say that they have no selfishness at all. To be truly selfless, he must have the ability to watch. Where is your cause and destiny? How can he help you? There must be wisdom in this, so you must have people who are quite enlightened, and then you must have a lot of mind, so this kind of good knowledge is hard to come by!Rarely, then these eight ranks are all about the cultivation of cause and effect for sentient beings who have passed away to the world of bliss.

The next XNUMXth to XNUMXst products are all introductions. The Bodhisattvas of the ten directions also come to the world of bliss to offer to the Buddha and ask for the Dharma. "The Twenty-Sixth Dharma of Offerings and Listening", let’s look at a scripture: "Buddhas in the East The moments are like the sands of the Ganges River, the Bodhisattvas of the Hengsha, the rituals are immortal, the south and the north are four dimensions, and the upper and lower sides are also up and down. With respect, we will give all precious offerings.” Well, let’s see this section first, and this section will follow We have talked about many places. The east, west, south, north, up and down represent the ten directions. The Bodhisattvas of the ten directions have to go to the paradise, and go there to pray to the Buddha and hear the Dharma. Once they reach the paradise, they will become a Buddha quickly, so even if the Samantabhadra waits for enlightenment Bodhisattva, he is about to become a Buddha, let's make up for the Buddha!He is already making up for the Bodhisattva, and he still wants to be born into the blissful world, otherwise it will take a long time for him to cultivate on his own, and it will take a long time!Once they go to the world of bliss, they will soon be able to become Buddhas.

There is also a scripture: "I know the aspirations of the right people from the ten directions, I aspire to a pure and pure land, and be remembered as a Buddha." Amitabha is very compassionate. He also came to these bodhisattvas from the ten directions, knowing that their wish is Whatever, they also fulfill their wishes and help them to give credit, and they can definitely achieve Buddhahood. "Sing of the Twenty-seventh Product of Buddha", the content of this product is to explain that these Bodhisattvas can go to the ten directions immediately after receiving the blessings of Amitabha Buddha when they come to the world of bliss. , You see, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are doing these things all day, cultivating blessings and wisdom.It’s like we’re doing karma all day long, indulging in the five desires and six dusts, and it’s a great harm to our body and mind. You can see that we are very happy to play, eat, drink, and have fun, right?It’s okay if you don’t go out. When you go out, you’re more tired. Then your purse is getting less and less and empty again. The next day you are eager to make money, and you’re worried about your life all day. What’s so good about that?Is it okay to enjoy the five desires?The real happiness lies in the Dharma, and Zen pleasure is food!This is true happiness. People who truly have the Fa in their hearts naturally don’t need external materials. You won’t feel lacking, and you can really live in peace and happiness.

The Arahant eats one meal a week. Pichi Buddha eats one meal in two weeks. For example, we can only eat two meals a day at most. No matter how small the stomach is, the stomach and intestines will protest. It’s very hard. Everyone is used to eating dinner. In fact, if we don’t eat it, suddenly asking us to eat it will feel very hard. It feels like eating at six or seven o’clock. Then we all get up early to bed at midnight and feel like we’re not eating. We haven't finished digesting all at once, and we are going to sleep, which is very unhygienic.When we fall asleep, the intestines move very slowly and hardly move, so the food is very difficult to digest, oops!It feels terrifying when I think about it!There are Yoneda Ko in her stomach, it is really very unclean. Does Yoneda Ko know what it is?The sum of rice fields is just one word, indigestion, sleep and restless sleep, and then eat more meals, but you see that most people have to cook, eat, and wash, and spend a lot of time at least two hours can not run It is a waste of time, and the body is a burden.So skipping one meal and not eating will really make you feel safe!

In the future, you'd better not eat dinner every day, but some people will be uncomfortable and fear that this precept is not good, not to mention keeping this precept, and don’t deliberately regard it as keeping precepts, just as a kind of enjoyment, a good life. Get used to it, but most people just start. You won’t get used to it after you finish eating at XNUMX o’clock until the evening. So we can say, let’s not say that we hold lunch, we just eat a little at three or four in the afternoon, one or two slices of bread or It's biscuits and a cup of cereal.This is what I do, to prevent that sometimes you have to open fate, have a dinner with someone, the elders want to eat, you can't accompany him, then this means that if you don’t eat normally, if you eat suddenly, the stomach acid will not secrete gastrointestinal acid. Normally it is easy to ulcers, so we eat a little bit every day, or a little bit in the afternoon, and there will be no feeling of hunger, oops!Before going to bed, it seemed to be hungry all afternoon.When you are really hungry, there is a trick. You can drink XNUMX Cc of water, and you can fill it up immediately, and it is good to clean your stomach and intestines by the way. This trick is very useful. In this way, you can save dinner every day, and it can be a month. It saves a lot of money, and a lot of time to work hard, and the most important thing is that our body and mind will be at ease.

Your gastrointestinal burden has also been reduced, and it is also a kind of compassion to the sentient beings in the world. Then, we can use the money we save to cultivate blessings and provide the Three Jewels, and our hearts will return to this suffering Africa. Many suffering beings have no food to eat. Although we didn’t put the money in his hands, we made a wish in our hearts. We saved them and hoped that they would get food and clothing. This is the merit. As soon as your wish is issued, your compassion will grow. You see the benefits. There are so many, and it is not difficult to do. If you are told not to eat from lunch, it is really not easy.But if you eat a little in the afternoon, just like Kaiyuan, eat a little snack, don’t eat until you are full!That is equivalent to eating early for dinner, eating snacks to add to your stomach. This stomach is very tricky, and you can even eat a little bit slowly, meaning and meaning like this, what kind of cereal you drink like this, as long as it is not hungry, you Don't force it to eat. If you can't eat it, don't eat it. If your gastrointestinal discomfort is not good, you can eat it without eating, which is definitely good for your body. You can do it this way. 

Respectful excerpts from the disciple Meiling

(XNUMX) Amitabha Buddha is superior to all the Buddhas (this master has not yet finalized the draft, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

"The Twenty-Eighth Stage of Dashi Shenguang", this is an assistant to introduce Amitabha. There are two Bodhisattvas around him, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Da Shizhi Bodhisattva. Guanyin Bodhisattva has a very deep connection with us, and Ksitigarbha's connection with us is also It’s very deep. These two are collectively called the Three Sages of the West. When we are dying, they will come to us. The introduction of Guanyin Bodhisattva in this product is because Guanyin Bodhisattva has a very deep relationship with all living beings in this world, so Give him a special introduction. "May Lihong deepen the twenty-ninth grade", this refers to the Amitabha Buddha, this he made a vow to send sentient beings in the ten directions. This vow is very deep and truly surpasses the Buddhas in the ten directions. He is in the previous scriptures. It is said: "I have established a transcendental aspiration, I must be supreme. If I am not satisfied, I will not wait for enlightenment." The transcendental aspiration, he has surpassed the Buddhas when he made a vow based on the place, and the Buddha's completion is of course even more important. Surpassing, this is to say that He is willing to be powerful and profound.

"Thirty-Rank Bodhisattva Practice" and "Thirty-first-Rank True Merit", this is about the true merits of these Bodhisattvas after they have lived, and this we read a passage: "In that Buddhist temple, all the Bodhisattvas , Meditation wisdom, supernatural powers and mighty virtues, all perfection.” This is in the XNUMXth product. In the XNUMXst product, it says: "His heart is upright, skillful in making decisions, insatiable in discussing the Dharma, tireless in seeking the Dharma, and quitting like colored glaze. The inside and outside are bright and clean, and what they say is pleasing to everyone.” The contents of these two products are all about the real merits of the Bodhisattvas. As soon as we are born into the world of bliss, our realm is as extraordinary as theirs. Amitabha Buddha After we have cultivated it for us, only the Buddha and the Buddha can know this realm, and even Guanyin Bodhisattva can't even think of it. Therefore, our method is hard to believe. Therefore, we can't do a single word of the content in these two products. We can try our best Learning, but in fact we can’t do it. This is their realm, and their true merits, relying on our own cultivation to be immeasurable.

Relying on Amitabha Buddha to lead a rebirth, our previous vows are very clear. A rebirth is equivalent to a Buddha. Whether it is the external minister, there are six magical powers and various supernatural powers. This is clearly stated in the vow. The XNUMX I mentioned earlier I hope everyone must listen to it several times, and you will be very clear that through the scriptures and the annotations of the Patriarch, our true faith can arise. Otherwise, it is difficult for you to imagine that there are such cheap things. If you don’t need to cultivate and become a Buddha immediately, then you will miss it if you don’t believe it.It's a pity that you missed this kind of big benefit in person!Anyway, just believe it!You have no loss, right?It doesn't matter if you are deceived, this is a wise man, and you are willing to be deceived by the Buddha!It’s okay and face-saving. I’m not deceived by the devil. If you are deceived by the devil, you will create karma. It will be endless in the future, right?It is our face for the Buddha to form a relationship with the Buddha. Don't try to save the gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. If you believe in it, you won't suffer.

Respectful excerpts from the disciple Meiling

(XNUMX) Master Shandao said that our situation is that of the Buddhist chants on the Erhe Baidao (this time, the drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, and the merits are boundless!)

Master Shandao tells us an analogy in the "Guanjing Si Tie Shu", called "Erhe Baidao". He taught us to write like this. He knew that it is difficult for us to believe that this world of bliss is so great. We can die as long as we make a wish. To become a Buddha, you don’t have to practice on your own. It’s really hard to believe. Therefore, in order to strengthen our confidence, Master Shandao talked about a metaphor called "Two Rivers Baidao."The two rivers are two rivers, one is water and the other is fire. This represents greed, hatred and ignorance, and a small and narrow white road in the middle. The white road means that our roots of goodness are very subtle. The water and fire, greed, hatred and ignorance often pour into this. Coming from the top of the white road, that is, it often overwhelms our good roots, and finally believes a little bit, and then suddenly doesn't believe it, and confidence has receded. This is us, our situation.There is the Buddha Sakyamuni to the east to persuade us, tell us this method, you hurry to the west, you will walk through this little white road, it’s okay, don’t be afraid, there is Amitabha on the west side of the opposite bank, and he will be waiting to pick you up.

As long as you are willing to make a wish and you are really willing to go, you can go this way. This way is when we recite the Buddha "Namo Amitabha", we make a wish and are willing to go, and then you just go straight forward, it's the so-called " It is very simple to recite the Buddha.When you initiate a wish and really decide that you are willing to go forward, just go like this, and you will surely be able to see the safe arrival on the other side. Buddha Amitabha will be there to pick you up. Then at this time, the Buddha Amitabha is also constantly calling from the west, hurry up. Don’t be afraid to come here. Just come here. I’ll be waiting for you at any time. This is the Blessed One of the Two Earths. Then we, the Buddha chanters, we are the Buddha chanters on the Erhe Baidao. We stand here on the east side. .There are also a lot of grievances and creditors behind, some monsters and ghosts, some tigers and beasts, and a kind of outsider. He is telling you, hello!It’s better to practice our discipline. Don’t practice that pure land discipline. That’s not true!How can there be such a cheap thing, there is no free lunch in the world, there must be a cause before an effect!If you just tell you these things and make you lose your confidence, these things belong to people with wrong views.

At this time, our confidence is even more difficult to build. What should we do?Just hesitating, standing at this crossroads, do you want to listen to the words of Lord Shakya and go forward, or just stay on the same road, in case I want to live and go, wow!The two rivers of water and fire are constantly pouring up, whether I will fall down, I am very scared!What Master Shandao describes as this person who recites the Buddha is talking about us, our state of mind is like this, and we are hesitating whether to move forward or not.But at this moment we have to recognize that these venomous snakes and beasts are innocent to the creditor. He is leaning on us one step at a time, so even if we want to stay where we are, we have a dead end. In other words, we have no choice. There is only one road ahead, and there is no other way to go, so we must listen to the words of Lord Sakyamuni, and go forward bravely on this white road. With the determination to break the boat, we have no way out. Once we turn around, we will be the innocent creditors. Indeed, they It is forced to come step by step.

What are those kinship creditors?The good times and bad times in our lives are all these people!Adversity adds to your worries all day long, makes you greedy, anger and ignorance, these good times make you greedy, make you stubborn, oops!More and more reluctant to give up, and then the last two people made a vow again to make an appointment to be a husband and wife again in the next life.Damn!Life after life is endless. Obstacles you can't regenerate into a Buddha. These are all kinsmen and creditors who have been chasing you. So even if we want to stay where we are and don't want to live in the Paradise of Bliss, we are dead.This is the situation that Master Shandao told us, so we must listen to the advice of the Blessed One, go forward, all the Buddhas in the ten directions have proved it for us, what we are afraid of, even if we believe it wrong, there is no Amitabha on the other side, anyway There is also a dead end here!It’s death anyway. It might be better to die on the other side. We won’t suffer. This is an analogy given to us by Master Shandao to strengthen our confidence and help us develop this desire for life. It is indeed our current situation. That's it.

After you have listened to the scriptures, you must think carefully when you go back. Even because our memory is not good, it is not like Ananda that can be written down once, so we have to constantly revise every day. We have CDs in circulation, and we have to listen and hear every day. You have heard it very well until you were born. You can also go to talk to others, teach each other, and keep reminding yourself that the Blessed One was living in the world, and the big disciples around them were all people who had attained magical powers. They heard the talk. After going back, I will add steps and start to think about the meaning of law.It's not like watching a movie after listening, forget it after listening.Oh... I've heard that I know, I know it's not done, it's a lot worse!Only by doing this can you gain benefits, transform your body and mind, and be able to get away from suffering and enjoy happiness!You know it’s useless. No matter how much you know, it’s useless to have a relationship with you. At most you can be a mage, and you are not a very good mage. A really good mage is to do it by yourself. With the heart, there is righteousness.

You see, I kept saying that I didn’t read the manuscript. I recognized it by myself. I understood the truth. Then I typed out my own experience. After I recognized it, I said it. I told it from the bottom of my heart and shared it with you, so I listened to the scriptures. You must be very respectful and continue to cultivate. Don’t treat you as a master giving a lecture, making fun with you like watching a show. This master speaks well, and it’s not bad. Then what is going on is not for your evaluation, but to take this Fa. Put it in your heart and become your own thing.How to become your thing?You have to practice it in your life. If you understand it, you can do it. You can also prove it. Prove it yourself!See if the teacher is right?Is it really so good?Will it really transform the body and mind?Is it really more enjoyable than five desires and six dusts?This kind of Dharma music is true and false. You can verify it yourself. This is the most scientific attitude. Buddhism talks about science. It doesn't talk about superstition. If you say what I say is right, you just want to listen, no.

What is said must be correct. The problem is that it will let you do it first, so you can do it!So we don’t just comment on the right or wrong of others. You have to do it yourself, and your realm surpasses him, then you have the ability to comment on the right or wrong of others. It's not like you!Feel free to comment on others. He has never heard of what they are talking about, and even you have to do it. After you really do it, you really understand it, and you are qualified when you enter that realm. To objectively analyze the level of people's realm, right or wrong, so Buddhism is to be studied in this way.It's just useless to listen. "Wearing, thinking and cultivating" is the stage of Dharma practice, and the Blessed One told us.Let’s hear it first!So it’s very important to listen to the scriptures and not break every day, and then do as much as you understand, and do as much as you can. When you look back and listen again, your realm has improved and you can understand better. It seems that you didn’t understand it the first time. Listen to it after you practice it in life, wow!It seems that the feeling of enlightenment is slowly approaching, and the realm experience is getting deeper and deeper. This is the complete way to learn Buddhism. This can get real benefits and transform our body and mind. We Now you can get away from suffering and be happy. 

it is good!Today’s time is up, let’s learn here first, Amitabha!
