(XNUMX) The attitude of listening to the scriptures and the law (this master has not yet finalized the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merits are boundless!)

Dear Master Yamato is merciful, and respectable fellow practitioners of the great virtues, good evening everyone, Amitabha!

Tonight is the last night of our ten-day lecture. Our old monk once said that it’s better to arrange for three days of lectures during this period. I’m afraid that few people will come to listen. .This is a common phenomenon. Some people want to hear it, but there is no way to get it. Some people have a lot of magic weapons now, and there are no people who really have a sincere heart. As long as it rains a little bit, whenever there is a disturbance, any show will go. , I think of listening to the scriptures and hearing the Fa as something that I only do when it’s really boring.

As I mentioned before, there is a very good fellow practitioner in Malaysia. He is very busy and the owner of a company. He is very good!I have only received English education for XNUMX years, and I have been studying for more than XNUMX years. I really have good roots.Then I got married and had three children, the youngest was just over two years old, so he was the boss and the company was very busy, but he was able to report every day for ten days without being absent for a day, and he had to drive for more than an hour to listen to the scriptures. After listening to the scriptures at half past nine, I will drive home for more than an hour.

I am very worried that his wife will be angry, but fortunately, his wife is very understanding, this is very rare.Some other practitioners, because our Dharma is blessed by Amitabha himself, as long as someone who has heard of it will be able to generate joy, no matter the depth of his good roots, he will definitely be able to generate joy, but he can have sufficient causes and conditions for in-depth study, then this is not the case. It's easy! 

Everyone has this shallow and deep difference, so we can truly have this destiny, especially if we know how to ask for the Fa. Such people are really not ordinary people. At this time, sentient beings themselves have heavy troubles and greed. With the five desires, the respect for the Three Jewels is generally relatively poor. Even those who want to learn, because of heavy karma and various obstacles, do not have sufficient karma to listen to the scriptures and the Fa.Therefore, the old monk said that it is more appropriate to schedule the lecture for three days, but I personally give a lecture. I don't care about the number of people, but whether there are people in the same class.

In some places, the audience is very enthusiastic, one or a hundred people, but some are mostly the dojo of lay leaders, and some presidents themselves pay more attention to the cultivation of blessings, so listening to the scriptures is also a supportive attitude.Speaking like this, we are only talking about people who are Hengshun sentient beings. We talk about some relatively superficial content, and there is no way to truly enjoy it, and talk about what we like to say in our hearts, but it is also rare for our fellow practitioners to get it.

Today is the tenth day, and many people have not yet died. Maybe many people can still get the perfect attendance award. Of course, the first place is our Yamato Master.He can’t run because he is the abbot, but because I have noticed that every time he listens to the lecture, he is really a very good example, his body, speech and mind are upright and respectful. This is not whether I speak well or whether I have a reputation. It’s that his own Fa-study attitude is really worth learning and acting with us. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary laymen to do this. It is indeed more visible among monks, but now it is less and less. Up.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Xiuqing

(XNUMX) The cause and fate of teaching the Fa in the mainland (the master of drafting has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, and the merits are boundless!)

Like me twelve years ago, just about ten years ago, after graduating from the training course, I used to live in Beijing for three months in Mainland China. At that time, I was a novice and placed orders in the only female dojo in Beijing. , It was the ancestral court of a Lvzong, and we were the two female monks, the earliest advocated by an elder, Nitongyun, the dojo, and the fate for me to place an order is also very rare.

It is difficult for ordinary people to place an order there. We have some classmates who have been a monk in the training class for a long time, and they want to place an order but can’t put it up. It happened that I had a good relationship with the abbot head. She originally wanted to stay and stay with me. But because I lived for three months and my visa expired, I left. During that period, I was going to place an order. The relationship with this master teacher was made in Singapore, but I didn’t want it. ...She left me the address. I didn't want to find her before, so I really have a chance.

I started studying Buddhism. Everything was arranged by the Buddha and Bodhisattva. I didn’t have any plans myself, including this cause and condition. I was also very mature. I had a good relationship with her, but I didn’t expect to go there. It was through a senior Arrangement, even arranged me to her side, the seniors originally arranged me in a hotel or a layman's house, I said to avoid it as much as possible.

Our precepts also stipulate that this layman’s family cannot stay for more than three days. Try to live in the dojo, so the senior arranged for me to go there. As soon as I met, he...had a good relationship in the past, so he specially asked for it. I was promoted there to say that this cause and condition can be said to be unprecedented, or it may be unprecedented, and it may be difficult to have this cause and condition in the future.

why?The first I am a Taiwanese. This is very dangerous. I will be caught by the police at any time there. Ten years ago I will be more nervous. Then I am a novice novice. It is even more unlikely that novice novices will rise to the throne. The scripture is very strict. It is very difficult for people in other provinces outside of Beijing to teach the scriptures, not to mention that we are Taiwanese and compatriots on the other side. This is very sensitive and involves the promotion of the Dharma. The problem of narrating ideas.

Many of their monasteries have some policemen who wear plain clothes coming in and out, so when the master asked me to invite me, he told me that you want to say that you are a Fujianese, and that is really to make a convenient lie for the benefit of all beings. , Then I also look like a mainlander. Many locals think that I am from mainland China and not like a Taiwanese, so I haven't been wearing a gang for three months, nor have I been caught by the police.

That Daxiong Hall was full of three...Almost three hundred people were seated, and it was the first time I ever encountered a sandstorm when I grew up so big. I haven’t seen what a sandstorm is, because Taiwan hadn’t seen it at that time. I really couldn't see my fingers, and there was a vast expanse of white in the sky, where there was strong wind and sand.Because we have to walk from the squatter to the Daxiong Hall, we still walk outside the door, wow!That windy sand came oncoming, it was really impossible to reach out, and I couldn't see who the person next to him was. It was so serious!It's also full!The nearly XNUMX people in the Daxiong Hall are really touching.

At that time, I was invited to Huairou, one of the eight suburbs near Beijing, about four hours away by car, and even more remote. That was the dean of a Buddhist college in Fujian. After he retired, he would return to his hometown. To build a temple over there, only one of the four heavenly kings halls was built. We talked about the four heavenly kings halls, and then the other one was empty outside.

A large piece of land is a small palace of the Heavenly King. It turns out that there are people of all ages and families who come with their families to listen to the scriptures. The mainland can often encounter this situation because they don’t have many opportunities to hear the scriptures and the teachings. They are very respectful and cherished, so I was the identity of the novice at that time. When I was promoted, the abbot headed, that is the women's dojo, the only women's dojo.

She asked for a teacher, there was Wiener, and then there was an incense burner, she also invited the teacher, and then he prayed for three prayers after ascending. This is the rule.It is not a person who honours the master, but a person who teaches the Fa, that is, a person who teaches the Fa represents the Buddha.She gifted the Three Treasures, all the Three Treasures in the ten directions, she is the ancestor of the Lvzong!Be well-informed, and show it to us, oops!I was scared to death at the time. I was novice, the elder Niye, the abbot of the house, but I immediately thought about it. This is not a courtesy to me. How can we do!This is all performing for us.So after three months, I want to leave. She wants to stay with me. I thank you.

Then she told me, I really admire you, what am I talking about?She said that you dare to tell, here is really... I invite you, just tell, this is very dangerous!It is very likely that you will be taken away in the next second, and there will be no place to bury your life, because we don’t know where you died. Sometimes the atmosphere in the mainland is really like this. Then I told her, I said it doesn't matter!I said that if you dare to ask me, I would dare to talk about it. If something happens, I will have a companion. The master is not easy and courageous.

I was also invited to mainland China in October this year. Because of our seniors, the third senior Jieqin Master, he is also a rare good knowledge. He is in the mainland, and now he has four temples in his hands at the same time, two of which are completed. Now, two...three are still in progress and have not yet been completed. The first is a very majestic and very large temple.I asked him, I said, senior, why do you want to build so many temples, it's very tiring!And at the same time, there are two or three places on the cover, different provinces, and practice meetings everywhere.So let's not look at other masters' practice meetings all day long, each person has a different cause.

I asked him why he did this?He said that if we are not motivated and the monks do not motivated to do it, would it be for the laymen to do it?Nowadays, many laymen are managing the monastery. If you understand the commandments of the Sangha, it would be great to manage it!The question is, how many understand?So he is really thinking about our Tathagata family business, and he has this heart, otherwise the seniors will give lectures very well. He doesn't let us teach them, and it's even more rare. It is true that he is running outside and knows how to do it.We generally think, oops!Why does this monk love money so much and go to climb fate all day long? Some people misunderstand this way. In fact, the monastery he built really made everyone work hard, just like our practice here every day, it is really the blessing of the layman. .

The monks are so motivated!He really did his best to lead the people in practice. His disciples and the disciples he received were also very good and outstanding. Everyone respected Master, knowing that Master really sacrificed himself, working so hard all day, for the burden of family business, for It benefits sentient beings, so if there is a good environment for Taoism today, monks don’t have to sacrifice to go to practice meetings.The best place is to preach the scriptures, this is the best demonstration.The problem is that monks don’t do strange things, and lay priests don’t come to worship. You must hold some pujas and some activities, so that everyone can be very happy, or cultivate blessings, these charity activities.

This is how sentient beings in this age are, so many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have to show themselves and have no choice but to persevere sentient beings, so we see this situation.We should think about it, have we laypersons fulfilled their duty of protecting the law?Are you really motivated?This mind that wants to seek Tao really wants to practice steadfastly.If there is, then you will naturally feel good knowledge to lead the crowd, teach you the scriptures, and lead you to really work hard in the industry. This is relative.If there are people in the audience who really want to ask for the Fa sincerely, then we are the ones who speak!I was very happy and felt that time was not wasted. Sometimes among the listeners, although beginners don’t understand, we can speak a little bit more shallowly, but at least if he has a bit of good roots, then we can also plant a seed for him first.So this cause is actually our own feeling.

We really know how to use our sincerity, the heart of seeking truth in real practice, we can naturally feel the presence of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to help us achieve Dao Karma.Some places seem to be thriving, but we can feel it, and we can know what exactly these audiences are looking for?How much do you want?We can probably know that if the desire to seek the truth is not so strong, but just want to cultivate blessings, then there are many people who can receive the crowd, and we don't necessarily need to use us, so we may not want to get connected frequently.Because time is limited!We must leave it to those who really have Dao-minded people, no matter how many people there are or few people, so here to talk about it, even if there is only Master Yamato, it is enough.But it is very rare for us, and there are still many fellow practitioners here to study seriously, which is very rare.

(XNUMX) How to do everything steadily (this time, the drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Okay. Next, let’s continue to talk about the "Thirty-sixth grade". This is the continuation of the "Thirty-fifth grade of turbidity and suffering" that we learned yesterday. We will further explain the cause and effect of the five precepts, the thirty-fifth grade. The content of is to tell us that this exhortation that we must observe the five precepts, then the thirty-sixth product will be discussed further. What kind of evil will there be if we do not observe the five precepts?They all talk about the karma of the five precepts.

Let’s look at a passage: “Don’t follow your desires and commit all evils. Be in harmony with your words and actions, and be masters in your actions. Look at your actions and calm your actions. Behave in a hurry, but you will regret your failures. "Well, let’s see here first. The first two sentences always say, "Don’t do whatever you want, and don’t commit any evil." This is a continuation of the previous scripture summary. We advise us not to indulge in the five desires and six dusts, we must Keep the five precepts well and don't continue to commit these bad habits.Then what appears is that words and expressions should be harmonious. Our attitude, our face should be kind and gentle, and it looks like Maitreya Bodhisattva laughs at Mimi all day. This is to form a good relationship with others, and Buddha disciples should be To be like this, it must look very kind and kind.

Being a professional is a kind of concentration, concentration.This Zen Buddhism is practising meditation, there are dynamic meditation and meditation, then dynamic meditation is walking, standing, sitting and lying, every movement, we eat, walk, and drink tea, we must be very focused at all times, focusing on everything we do. As far as things are concerned, this is to be professional, so every sect and every school of practice are mutually integrated, and the boundaries are not so obvious. When we recite the Buddha, we are also cultivating meditation, precept, concentration and wisdom, although we do it from faith and willingness. Starting with it, this also includes precept, concentration and wisdom, and the Dharma does not hinder it.

"Look at the action and be steady." If we can do "the words and the colors are in harmony, the body is the master." The action, our body, mouth, and mind are shown to be very stable, so that we will not make mistakes. , Not easy to make mistakes.All day long, if we forget things and forget things, sometimes if we do something... if we do big things, it will have a great impact.A little carelessness... For example, when the captain of an airplane, he presses a wrong button, he may crash, and the lives of one or two hundred people will be gone. This is not a joke.So all the time, you see many powerful countries in the world now, they have nuclear bombs, nuclear equipment, and they are managing the entire operation of this avant-garde computer room. If one accidentally enters a few passwords, you can't think about it, and on impulse, Wow!If that is miserable, the world will be destroyed, so our body, speech, and mind must be kept in a state of concentration and stability anytime and anywhere.

If this is not the case, "work in a hurry, and regret it later. I don't care about it and lose our effort." This is to remind us that most of us are very restless, those who are not practicing, and those who are not able to practice. I am in a hurry. I am rushing in and out, thinking about this and thinking about that. There are beginnings and ends in doing things, and there is always change and change. This kind of people can't do big things, and they often regret and fail. After regretting, you can do nothing for nothing.

"Don’t know what to do, and lose your effort." Not only do we have to work in vain, we also create karma, so we don’t rush, don’t rush for quick success and quick gain, because your heart is not stable, why not? There is greed, and the greedy want to hurry. To accomplish one thing, or to do more, in the final analysis, all the evil laws come from greed and greed headed by greed, anger, ignorance, and greed. As long as our heart is not greedy, our heart will be settled.The mind stabilizes our body, mouth, and mind. What naturally manifests itself is stability and stability. We have to learn!This is very specific to tell us that how we pretend in body, mouth, and mind, we must not rush, do things in an orderly manner, do not rush, it doesn’t matter if we take the time, we must do it more practically and naturally. Can be done.

I remember when I was in elementary school when I was a child, because I belonged to a monkey, my monkey nature was also very heavy, and I was also in a hurry, more lively and outgoing, and this habit was also very heavy.But speaking better is more efficient.But as far as the practice is concerned, you also need concentration and stability in order to be effective, and you have to do it well.Then we didn't have this skill at that time, we just moved very quickly.

I'm very confused in studying. I listened very carefully when I was in class. After listening, I didn't review it anymore. I took a look the day before the exam. Then I was considered a top student, and my ranking was pretty good. The ranking in the front position, but doing homework in this way is not so practical. If it can be more practical, then I think it should be very good. When I was a child, I liked reading, and I really liked studying.

Then there is one of our classmates, her personality is different from mine, she is a little...relatively a little too slow and tidy, for me, wow!It feels like a slow doctor among a female crowd. Once in class, the teacher gave us homework, then I hurriedly, very quickly, my movements were very fast, I had finished my homework before the class, so I Ready to play.

I also play kung fu very well. No matter what I play, high jump or sandbags, I am the first and second child, so my life in elementary school is very fulfilling. I also play baseball and avoidance with men. I can play ball and basketball. My development is all-round. The past is also explained in the schoolwork, but it is mixed. Because of the limited time, I have to do a lot of things.

Well, although it's not bad to be mixed, but compared to this slow doctor, then I can't compare it.She was the same as me. That time, she finished her homework in class and we had time to play after class. However, when the class was over, she saw that the word she wrote was very scribble, and she even tore it off. Rewrite in ten minutes after class. I said, "Don’t be kidding, how can you finish writing in ten minutes? There is no more play, no time to play, it doesn’t matter if you don’t play, how can you finish writing? What should I do if I hand in?" I really admire her and I was shocked!

This can’t be handed in. I will be punished by the teacher later, but she is not satisfied, because the writing is too sloppy, she would rather rewrite it, and rewrite it word by word. The result is really done for her, at the last second. The clock was completed and passed smoothly. As a result, she wrote the most neatly written characters. My characters are compared with her, oh!It's really ashamed. 
If I write again like her, I am afraid it is because of anxiety in my heart!There is no way to write so neatly, she is a natural slow doctor!Slower than the average person.

But if this is used in practice, this is very good. It is used in the company. Generally, current company bosses also emphasize efficiency and may not necessarily be used to it.But in terms of cultivation, cultivation depends on the process and your quality. The more solid your process, the real kung fu!Therefore, in our lives, how to arrange our body, speech, and mind well, we must grasp this key point.

Do everything in a down-to-earth manner. The basic standard is the five precepts. The five precepts are implemented here. Never commit the five evil karma, such as killing, stealing, licentiousness, lying, and drinking, and then you need to be more upright. , Always stay awake, so that you will find that your wisdom is easy to grow, your chances of making mistakes are less and less, and you can do things more satisfactorily.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Xiuqing

(XNUMX) How to practice in this world

"The thirty-seventh product is like a poor treasure." There is a scripture: "Cultivation of goodness here prevails in other countries, among the Buddhas, and be good for a thousand years." This sentence is very important. All these scriptures are forty-eight vows. It’s more important for us to understand the key points to learn. Don’t put every name and form too obsessively on a noun. The key point of what it says here is this one sentence: “Cultivating goodness here is better than others. , In the kingdoms of buddhas, thousand years for goodness.” The scriptures before and after this paragraph are meant to tell us, what they really want to tell us.

In fact, many fellow practitioners misunderstood that they wanted to tell us that the world of bliss is the real one, and that other countries are really good places to practice, and our world is too difficult to practice, so there are really people who can practice in such a difficult and evil one. In this environment, you can still devote yourself to practicing, even if it is one day and one night, that merit is incredible, and it is a thousand years of goodness to surpass the pure land of other places. This is a metaphor!Using such a metaphor to say that it is difficult to do it, it means that there is no way to practice at all. What he is talking about is this, and what he points out is the truth.

How to practice in this world?It's almost impossible, so if you really have a way to surpass it day and night, even if it is day and night, the merit is like surpassing others. Among the Buddhas, one thousand years of goodness, why? "So what, the other side is natural, there is no place for evil, but in this world, there is less good and more evil, bitterness and poison, and no rest." The point is to explain this, so don't get me wrong.

Some people say that if this is the case, then we will cultivate in this world, and then you will slowly cultivate. You want to come here faster, and one day will exceed the thousand years of the paradise of the land of Buddha, or It is for the goodness of the scriptures in Hundred Years. These hundred and thousand are just descriptions. Don't misunderstand it. Some people just misunderstand it like this.

But after we understand this principle, should we cultivate?We still have to cultivate. Try to eliminate karma in this place and eliminate as many karma as possible. This is also very good. It can increase our taste. Anyway, we rely on the Amitabha Buddha. After we die, our karma will be lighter. Of course, our taste is ours. Faith can be strengthened, and the natural taste can be improved. It doesn't really make us better practice in this world, because the achievement of merit is faster. Then the Buddhas in the ten directions, why do they persuade us to go to the Paradise of Bliss?In fact, the reason for this is very obvious, but because many people are stuck with this text, this is called death by teaching, and many people misunderstand it.

"Cultivating goodness here is better than others, among the Buddha kingdoms, being good is a thousand years old." Since you are victorious, then cultivate here!Just reading this sentence will make you misunderstood. This is to tell us that this world is really too difficult to practice.There are obstacles to what you do. Good things are hard to do. Really, the more things you do, the greater the obstacles. There are no obstacles when you don’t do things. But people look down on you. That's it. What kind of things do you want to do?

The more you wish, the more you have to be prepared to grind, impede, and criticize others. This is inevitable. Not being jealous is mediocre. If you have a little talent, you are prepared to give others jealous obstacles. This It is the current situation in this world, no one can escape, so you see that we have a lot of good knowledge nowadays. If you don’t have a reputation, then don’t talk about it. No matter how good people are, there are still people who slander. The relatively few are the old monks Guangqin. , Because of austerity, and our holy one old master, if you practice asceticism and save money all your life, then people have nothing to say.

All beings use this image. Actually, running around includes the practice meeting we just talked about, running around outside, and the movie version of the old monk Xuyun, which has been widely circulated at home and abroad recently. There are more than two dozen movie versions. A mage took his apprentice to sell paintings to others for money, where is the money!As a result, he was looked down upon by others. You see that this monk is so greedy for money, but they say that.

There is a plague in their hometown. You have to beg for money for a while, and you don't necessarily get money. Selling paintings is to save people's homes, so that the villagers have food and clothing, so we can't look at the situation!All living beings look at things, so unless you show asceticism, it is inevitable that you will be slandered in everything you do. Even those who practice asceticism disagree, but they are not good at speaking any more, they have already suffered. If that's the case, how can you criticize him.One eclipse during the day, working all day, all the support is for the benefit of sentient beings, there are still people who want to talk about it!Oops!If you don't enjoy the blessings, you see this foolishness, there are people who criticize, but don't take it.

What kind of person is the old monk Guangqin?Some people went away admiringly, some high-ranking officials and intellectuals went to ask for the Fa, but the old monk Guangqin had supernatural powers!At a glance, you can tell what this person's intentions are, and he came to ask questions?Still watching the excitement?Just look at it.Tell him nothing, "Recite the Buddha honestly," and I will give you the most satisfactory answer, but you can't understand it!

I didn't understand, but when those people heard it, they went back...Ah!What kind of monk's great virtue!I can't say a word even after asking for a long time, so I just ask people to recite the Buddha. Maybe it's a vain name!This is also a disapproval, and it is also a criticism. Therefore, the old monks often say that the Buddha looks at all beings, and all ordinary people are Buddhas in the Buddha's eyes. This is true. He respects all the Buddhas, and we ordinary people!Even if the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are shown before us, each becomes ordinary.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Xiuqing

(XNUMX) I have always dedicated myself to the name name (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!)

Our hearts are polluted by the three poisons, and the external realm that appears is dirty and impure. Therefore, to save sentient beings in this world, you must really be wronged. You must be misunderstood, tortured, and slandered by sentient beings. I’ve been aggrieved, so I really deployed my heart to save sentient beings. I’m all... I can hide as much as possible, because I don’t want to. I don’t like being wronged. I feel wronged, alas!It's really...it's not a taste!

It's really clear to help you, even if you don't appreciate or be grateful, you don't want you to be grateful, but you want to slander, misunderstand, and ruin you. There are such people, weird!Because he is crazy!He didn't mean it, so you can't be angry with him. If you are angry with him, then you don't come to save sentient beings!This is really the case, so I admire those who are willing to do big things.

I can’t run away so I will tell you about the Fa to form a bond. There is a bond, and we can’t do it if we don’t do it before!This is not as good as the Fa. It is not a cultivator, but it is absolutely impossible for us to find things to do on our own. It is thankless.We only eat two meals a day!Our clothes have been worn for ten years, and the ones that are really used on us are very small, and they will become less and less. Then why do we have to make trouble for ourselves!

When I was a beginner, I didn’t... I couldn’t get the Fa and I was uneasy. Of course, I had to study everywhere, to practice, and to achieve Dao karma from suffering. After we had a certain experience in the Fa, alas!Really, especially in our discipline, I really want to close the door and recite the Buddha, and reciting the Buddha is also the achievement of self-interest and altruism!And no one will ruin us. It is really a happy thing to associate with Amitabha Buddha every day, so being able to run as far as possible is really, natural, this kind of mentality is natural.

If you truly understand the grandeur of this Buddha name and master the most complete practice, you will want to let go of everything, and everything that includes Buddhism will also want to let go. This teaching is just a guide!Point out a way, after you find this way, you have to go!Go, how to go?Recite the Buddha!Therefore, in this world, if the real experience is very deep, no one would not want to leave quickly and quickly go to the world of bliss to practice, even if it is really, there is really no evil fate, and achievement is slower. The problem is that there is no concept of time at all. , You don’t feel like practicing.

To recite Buddhism is to read without thinking, and to cultivate without cultivating!As soon as you go, you feel that you have become a Buddha. There is no question of whether or not to practice, what is the question of how quickly the practice is achieved, no, of course you must go quickly!Don't think with your own consciousness.Oh!Well, practice in this world is not bad!Anyway, this is actually the heart of the five desires and six dusts, greedy, so I make excuses. When I see this, I feel that the practice here is also very fast. This is self-deception. It is not to let go and not to break through this world. After all, suffering, emptiness, impermanence, and non-self cannot be seen clearly.

The next "Thirty-eighth Prayer to Buddha and Respect for Light" is to show us how to sense Amitabha.The Buddha told Ananda: "If Cao wants to see immeasurable purity and equality, and the land where the Bodhisattvas and Arahants live, he should go west and be nowhere on that day. He respectfully salutes and recites Nanwu Amitabha." This passage is the focus of this product. This is what the Buddha told Ananda and it also told us that if we want to see Amitabha, it is very simple, just call Nanmu Amitabha.

What we are talking about here should be westward, there was nowhere on that day!This is also a direction. Because we all have attachments, we have southeast, northwest, up and down in this world, so I will point you to a direction. In fact, this position is not fixed, so the focus is on chanting Nanwu Amitabha.Ananda has good roots. He immediately made a vow. The Blessed One said: "The living among them has been close to the infinite buddhas and planted all virtues. If you want to be born, you should return to admiration with all your heart." The focus is on one heart and one heart is praised. This is the purpose of our study of this sutra, which has always been dedicated to the study, but in fact, the three sutras are all the same.

Generally speaking, our fellow practitioners misunderstood the Sixteen Views. The first XNUMX views are for the goodness of meditation, and the master’s view of the good guidance, the three views and the three blessings of the pure karma are the scattered goodness, and the front is the goodness of meditation. Behind is Sanshan.Xiufu!These are called scattered virtues. They may not necessarily be more scattered. This is the view of Master Shandao. In fact, none of the previous ones are the core. They are just convenient methods. You can do that if you want to do it, it’s more difficult. You can do it like that, and then do miscellaneous practices. If you go back, you won’t be dedicated!The focus of the real "Guan Jing" is also the point of circulation at the end. In fact, it is very clear, but most people don't dare to point it out directly. Only Master Shandao has a discerning eye. He specifically pointed out that he said, "Ananda is good at keeping words. It is the speaker, that is, holding the name of the Buddha of immeasurable life." This is to explain Ananda, what do you want?You must take good care of this "Guan Jing".How to hold it?Those who hold, hold the word, hold the name of the Buddha of immeasurable life.

The method of holding is that the language represents all the content of the scriptures mentioned earlier. How do you really want to hold this scripture?It is to hold the name of the Buddha of immeasurable life. This sentence is the core sentence of the entire "Guan Sutra", and only Master Shandao will not emphasize it. The same is true for the Amitabha Sutra. The purpose of the three sutras cannot be different. The core and correct points of the practice standards must be the same. The convenient parts are of course deep and shallow. Everyone has different foundations, and the core is all. It is very simple. We have all misunderstood the undisruptedness of the Amitabha Sutra.

Other patriarchs used the method of self-reliance to practice, explaining that not being confused is not having a thought. Then who can do it?Then the three sutras all talk about the theories and methods of the rebirth bliss. Why is this more difficult?Isn't there a contradiction?The same is the most correct and core, it must be the same!There can be no contradictions!If it is convenient, of course there will be a different practice. If the most correct one, there must be only one, which is the same. Then we compare the Xuanzang version. In fact, this old monk also said that sometimes it depends on him. Grand Patriarch, sometimes it is based on the core of this pure land, and the old monk also said it!Taking Xuanzang's version, Xuanzang's translation, the explanation in it is not chaos in mind.

If you are not confused, there is no need to tell you to stop thinking about it!As long as you read it, it's the same as our three-time system. Isn't that always dedicated?Sentence after sentence!Read it when you have time!Isn't it because the mind is not chaotic?Not messy is not messy, just special!It’s always the same!right?Master Xuanzang based on the Xuanzhuang version is the scripture. We are based on the scripture. Therefore, the "mitabha sutra" is not chaotic, and it should be interpreted as the meaning of always dedicated thoughts and not chaotic thoughts.

No chaos means specialism, no chaos, no inclusions, one-minded one is the heart!The eighteenth wish to speak of the heart, this is the true practice of the Amitabha Sutra.The three classics are exactly the same!As long as we honestly focus on specializing and praising, the three sutras are all chanting Buddhas by name, not asking you to visualize, observe, and recite the Buddha. That is because his patriarch used other methods to cultivate it. The self-reliance of the practice, it is very good, it is OK, that is not wrong, if you are a Dharmakaya, you can recite the Buddha in reality!But we are not dharma bodhisattva, we are sinful ordinary people, we can only recite the Buddha by name, and we can only rely on the Buddha's aspiration to save us, so we can only rely on faith, aspirations, and deeds, and this is the core and purest method of the Pure Land Method. It’s the easiest way to practice, because it’s set for us!Of course it is for us to be able to hold it easily, otherwise how could it be possible for the three roots to be universally covered and ten thousand people to go?So we judge according to common sense, and then we compare the scriptures to know what is the correct practice, the correct pure land practice.

Based on the academic analysis alone, the XNUMX patriarchs of the Pure Land XNUMX Schools have three different genres of practice. This is based on the patriarch’s personal time and fate. In order to obtain an opportunity for reason, the Zen Buddhism was very prosperous at that time. He wants to guide those who practice on their own, at least so that they can persuade them to recite the Buddha, so it’s better to persuade them to practice on their own and return to the Pure Land. It’s better than nothing. It’s impossible for you to ask them to directly go to Zen and recite the Buddha. The inability to save is due to different opportunities for individual saving sentient beings, and different seasons and conditions.Let us not think that we are different in appearance. It must be right and wrong. No, there is no right or wrong. If we are right and wrong, it is our own fault. We are attached to ourselves, and we don’t know how to be objective. Understand, we are not good at learning.

Then this thirty-eight stage is that Amitabha Buddha is in the scriptures. When the Blessed One persuaded the fellow practitioners to make a wish, Amitabha Buddha in the West also responded immediately and immediately beamed to prove that the Blessed One’s statement is true. Yes, that’s right, as long as you recite Amitabha Buddha, you will feel that it will shine at that time, and the light he shines is superior to the ten directions. Under this light, all the realms appear dim and dull. You will know by comparison. !

Respectful excerpts from disciple Xiuqing

(XNUMX) Transform the body and mind through the induction of the Buddha (this time, the master of the draft has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

"The people of the heavens, and even those who squirm and wriggle, see the light, all the suffering, never stop, all the worries, all are free. All are kind and benevolent, happy and happy." This paragraph tells us that as long as you can reach it Buddha light, we have talked about this before, where is the light of Buddha placed?Put it in the name, so as long as there is a chance to hear the name of the person, even if it is a squirming, flying in the sky, crawling underground, all can be saved, and the people of the heavens can be soft at the moment.

As we have said before, we can all be kind, happy and happy.So how to implement the three roots of the five precepts and ten virtues, of course we have to learn them too!Learn one, do one, and try to do it as much as possible, but it really has a great effect. It must be induced by the blessing of the Buddha. The effect is very fast.You rely on self-reliance, how can self-reliance be compared with Buddha, Buddha has perfect supernatural powers and wisdom, so we through chanting Buddha, through faith in Amitabha, this induction!

So when we come into contact with the Buddha's light, recite the most sincere thoughts, and be able to interact with Amitabha Buddha, when we are in touch, our hearts are soft at the moment. Naturally, as mentioned here, we are all kind and benevolent, joyful and happy.The inner law is happy, you naturally can't do evil!Is anyone very happy, take a knife to kill when you are in a good mood, can you kill it?Impossible!You can't be very happy, and then yell at the same time. Isn't that insane?right?It’s impossible to get confused!is not it?

Even when I saw the grievances and creditors, alas!Why does he look so cute today? He used to look so annoying, but he doesn't look so bad today!right?Because people are all...There is no absolutely good person in this world, and there is no absolutely bad person. There must be a good side among the bad people. Seeing from that perspective, there is no absolutely perfect person, so look at us. We are in a good mood, and we are willing to look at it from the good side. Everyone can become a good person, so the key is to transform our hearts first.

How do we make our state of mind soft, so we really have to always get close to good knowledge, because we don’t have concentration, we can’t transform this state, we will be affected by the environment, so we must get close to good knowledge, close to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, He will give us this kind of positive energy blessing, and we will often be very happy and happy. At this time, our inner karma will be eliminated bit by bit. When it appears, it will not cause evil, even Taking it a step further, we can also forgive those grievances and creditors, which can resolve grievances.Therefore, some people say that we are special like me...I am complete...because I know that there is not much time, and I am completely locked in the key to faith, wish, and deeds.I hope that through the induction of the Buddha, the fellow practitioners can draw their salaries from the bottom of the pot, and change their minds and bodies from the root. Not only are they confident in their rebirth, but with the five precepts and ten virtues of the moment, you will feel that the degree of..., the degree of implementation can be greatly improved. This is a skill and a real shortcut.

But some fellow practitioners don’t understand, they think that we ask people to recite the Buddha all the time in order to survive. If we are not doing well, how can we become Buddhas?This sentence is not unfamiliar, and it sounds very reasonable. It seems that the person who speaks this sentence seems to be very down-to-earth. Starting from the root, in fact, this is foolishness and doesn't understand the skill of this method.Okay!Then if you want to do it, do it with the five precepts and ten virtues!Our focus is on praying for the blessings of the Buddha. It does not mean that we do not do the five precepts and ten virtues, but do it, but it is really effective. Our focus is on achieving that effect!So you ask for the blessings of the Buddha, and you do it one by one. You have been more and more greedy, hatred, and delusion for decades. Don’t say that you can maintain the five precepts and ten virtues very well. It’s not that simple. The karma of sentient beings. Power!

Our Master Hongyi, a strict master, he criticized himself for nothing in his last speech when he was in his sixties. We were all shocked when we saw it. Why is he so ridiculous? He is really a precept. Strict!But he said that he is getting worse every day since his practice, alas!I couldn't speak what he said, and criticized myself very badly. What does this mean?It shows that he is really getting more and more clear in his brain, and he can see the greed, anger, ignorance, and even the subtle thoughts in our human nature very clearly, and see through to see the truth.

As long as you manifest as a human being, you will have greed, aversion, and delusion, unless you have no thoughts, unless you are the great bodhisattva who will come again, so even if you are a strict preceptor, look at us Master Shandao, Amitabha Buddha is willing to come again. Since he has manifested himself, he must be like a human being. He said that he is an ordinary man of sin, life and death, even if it is manifested, because he is here to circulate!Shixian came here to reincarnate and circulate, then since circumstance is an ordinary man, he said he is a mortal man of sin, life and death, and everyone who has proven to recite the Buddha and Samadhi, and those who have fully understood and mastered the Pure Land method all talk about themselves like this, so we always cultivate very well. Danger, always persuade people to be good at all, do well at all, do the five precepts and ten good things well, and still want to become a Buddha?It seems that there is nothing wrong with teaching others to guide others, thinking that this is the foundation of practice.

If you practice other methods, of course, follow this order, the basic beginning, the order of precept, concentration, and wisdom, first cause and effect; the problem is that our Pure Land Method is completely the realm of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. It is cause and effect and we believe in , Aspiration, deeds, faith is an introduction, but it also contains precepts, concentration, and wisdom.He doesn’t understand this, cause and effect. At the same time, when we can truly rely on Amitabha and receive the blessings of the Buddha, the realm of precept, concentration and wisdom is the real merit, because the merit of the Buddha is real, and we are in touch with the Buddha. Our own precepts, concentration, and wisdom are also real.

If you practice on your own, you will still be greedy, hateful, and foolish for the rest of your life!Unless you can surpass Master Shandao, can surpass Master Hongyi, so this person... This kind of person seems to be very clear and practical. You have to start from being a human being, but in fact, there is no practice that truly combines the theory of Pure Land. In this case, the achievement will be very slow. Personal good roots and merits are different. Sometimes the persuasion of the Patriarch’s great virtue teaches us to take the roots. Of course, this is just a matter of fact. It reminds us of the fundamental importance. We must be able to listen. .

(XNUMX) Why was born into the lotus pond in the treasure pond (this time, the drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, and the merit is boundless!)

"The Thirty-ninth Pinci Family", we read a passage: "Buddha tells Maitreya: The people of the other country have wombs, will you see them again? Maitreya said in plain words: Blessed One, I see those who live in the blissful world, such as Night sky, in the palace. I saw sentient beings, sitting in the lotus flower, and naturally metamorphosing. Why is that country has viviparous, there are metamorphosed?" Well, we see this paragraph, this paragraph is the Blessed One who told Maitreya Bodhisattva, deliberately wants to ask him, let him guide him to discover this problem, pay attention to this problem, then look!What can we also see from here?

Maitreya Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva of Waiting Enlightenment. If this question is not asked by the World-Honored One, he may not have noticed it, or he does not know how to ask, and does not know the difference at all, so ours is related to the direct retribution of the death. Tu, it is still necessary to live in the flower tire, there are three generations of ninth grades, so the following "Biandi Doucheng Fortieth" is explaining this content. Let's look at a scripture: "If there are sentient beings, cultivate all merits with doubts, Wish to be born in another country. Without the wisdom of the Buddha, the wisdom here is puzzled and unbelief. From the root of self-goodness, there is no faith. The way ends at the border of the Buddha, and there is also a pond of lotus, which naturally receives the body. Happy eating is like succumbing to the sky. The heart is not open , The meaning is not joyful. It is because of what it is called birth." I have simplified it, I only read a few important points, this paragraph is to explain that if there are sentient beings who practice all merits with doubts, they are willing to be born in the other country.

We have all talked about it before, because we have doubts, so we will be born in the third generation of the XNUMXth grade lotus bud. This scripture has explained it to us!Understand the wisdom of the Buddha and do not believe in what Amitabha Buddha agreed with us. As long as we recite the Buddha, we can die as long as we have enough faith and wish. This lack of confidence!And you can’t believe your own good roots, what good roots?Because we ourselves have Buddha nature and the virtues we have planted so many times.

What I just talked about has been close to the immeasurable Buddhas and planted the seed of virtue. Our good roots surpassed King Acha. This good root that has provided for XNUMX billion Buddhas is even more, but because we have been circulating in this life, we have been confused and forgotten, and I don’t know that we ourselves have Buddha-nature and perfect Buddha-nature, so we can’t bear it. We can really bear it. We are doing Buddha right now. Can you believe it?When you recite the Buddha, you become a Buddha. Didn’t we enlighten the Zen master to teach us?When you recite the Buddha, you see the Buddha.That is when you become a Buddha.Three times at the same time.Do you dare to take it?But don’t practice too much like some Tantras. He treats himself as his own deity and thinks that he is a Buddha. When he sees people, he says that I am a Buddha. Then there is a problem with cultivation. We have to understand this principle. It is indeed like this.

Although we ourselves are ordinary people of sin, life and death, it does not prevent us from reciting the Buddha or being a Buddha. The two are, this means that everything is not hindered and does not hinder, but at this state, you have to understand the "Hua Yan", you can only I can understand a little bit. In the state of mind, we are doing Buddhahood. In terms of things, because of the sacrificial body, of course, there is also this karma. In terms of mood, it is equivalent to doing Buddhahood.So why was born into the lotus in the treasure pond, because of doubts, this is the key point, and then born to the border of this Buddha country, the border is equivalent to the lotus is still wrapped, and the border is equivalent to being separated by a lotus bud. It's not that you are outside the world of bliss, on the edge of the earth, no, that's our misunderstanding.

Because the Paradise of Elysium is a retribution, it is full of ten method worlds. Since it is full of ten method worlds, all of them are filled, then where else is there to put a border?So what he meant by coming to the border of the Buddha’s kingdom meant that the lotus bud was closed, blocked, and blocked the retribution. You have to wait until the flowers bloom to see the Buddha, that is, you enter the Buddha’s land, that’s what it means, because We don’t understand these truths and we have doubts, so we have no way at the moment, our hearts are uneasy, unhappy, and we can’t feel the joy of the Fa.

In fact, if we have been working hard to guide everyone, we must rely XNUMX% on the power of the Buddha to generate true faith and aspiration. As long as this true faith and aspiration arises one point, you can taste one point of Dharma, and when you have ten points, you can taste it. At a very high level of Dharma, you now seem to live in the world of bliss. Our state of mind is no different from that of the Bodhisattva of the bliss, and we can experience it in this way.It doesn’t necessarily wait until we die, so this place is where we begin our studies, the most important place, and the place where we can feel the most benefit, fundamentally.Don't start to repair slowly from the branches, branches and leaves!That is very hard, difficult, and does not work well, so we must master this point.

(XNUMX) Let go of greed and true faith, and eagerly wish to recite the Buddha (this time, the master of drafting has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Under "Forty-one puzzles, you can see the Buddha." If you fall into doubts and regrets. I hope that the wisdom of the Buddha. The vast wisdom. The root of self-goodness. Cannot be believed. By hearing the name of the Buddha. Faith. Therefore, although you are born in the other country. You must not appear in the lotus flower.” This is to talk about our lack of confidence. If we really get rid of this doubt, we will be able to see the Buddha in bloom.So even if we are born into the third generation and the ninth stage, there will still be the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion into the flower womb and tell us, so no matter what, we must make a vow. If we believe it deeply, we are very happy and happy now, but we don’t believe it deeply. Don't be afraid, anyway, just like a Buddhist chanting in Erhe Baidao, I have no way to go. I must make a wish, so wish is something we can control.

As long as you are willing to go, no one can hinder you, and Amitabha will definitely come to pick you up, so what are the real homework we need to do in life?Help us to see through, let go, see through, maybe we don’t have the wisdom to see through, we are emptiness, all illusion is emptiness, the principle of the Prajna Sutra, form is emptiness, emptiness is form, everything is dependent-originating without self-nature, we don’t understand, suffering, emptiness, Impermanence, emptiness is hard to understand, this suffering!We can't feel it, we must always experience the suffering in this world, and then help us let go, and don't be reluctant to let this world go.

Even if our child is very close to us, the child is very cute, the more cute you have to be careful, alas!This innocent creditor made me greedy, because the child, like our five-year-old kid today, is also my fan!He told his mother today, don’t tell Master, Master is very beautiful!I have another fan here, not bad.This kid!Children can especially make us feel greed and love. Then we must bring up righteous thoughts and truly love them. We must help them in the Tao, whether it is ourselves or the people around them, and help them live in the Tao. We must be called from an early age. He made a vow and told him to recite the Buddha.

Ask him to make a vow to go to Amitabha, because when we go to Amitabha, we, mom and dad, can be together and meet every day. You have all the toys and cartoons you want. You have to use words that he understands. Then he told him to make a vow immediately, not until he grows up, things are impermanent, and it is too late to wait until he grows up!And the child is very naive, and his heart is even simpler than ours.

There is also a son of the president in Malaysia. He has already made a vow, because he often listens to the master's lectures, he has made a vow, and then he will often think about it.The kid who really made the wish is very simple, so he often asks, Master, what kind of Buddha is that Amitabha?Oops!What kind of person is he?When he thought of it, he kept asking, what does this mean?Since they have made a wish to go, they have begun to care about Amitabha, what kind of things the Paradise of Bliss can be played with... and so on.

I often think about the people, things, and things in the world of bliss. People are more correct in their studies than we are. What we think is the five desires and six dusts. How much money will we make tomorrow?What to do?You see that we are not as good as children. We should learn from him. He is our good knowledge, so first we have to persuade him to make a wish. After we transform our family members into a Buddhist family, he will also become our good knowledge. The study is more diligent than us, and they often come to remind us to let go of the world's craving.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Xiuqing

(XNUMX) The Blessed One praises that the man who recites the Buddha is the fintoriva of the people (the master of the draft has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, and the merits are boundless!)

Below is "the forty-second stage of the rebirth of the Bodhisattva". This is the Maitreya Bodhisattva asking the world-zun, how many people will be reborn in the bliss world?This Blessed One told Maitreya Bodhisattva that there are XNUMX billion Bodhisattvas in our world, who have become offerings to the Bodhisattvas, so small Bodhisattvas, and the number of people who have just passed away is very large. Moreover, the Bodhisattvas of the ten directions are those who have just passed away, but It is said that there is no end to the catastrophe, and the world of bliss is only ten kalpas. It is a new land of Buddha. But in this product, you can explain to us that there are already very many people who have passed away from the ten worlds. This is a disclosure. A message.

Rebirth in the Paradise of Bliss is really simple, and as the scripture says, Amitabha’s Dharma is the best. The number of people who have reborn in the Paradise of Bliss is very large, and then from "Not The Forty-third Theravada" to "Wen After benefiting forty-eight", these products belong to the circulation points, and we have already talked about the authentic points for the first forty-two products.

Let’s look at a passage: “If there is a good man or a good woman who can hear the name of Buddha Amitabha, he will be able to give birth to a heart of affection. Returning to the feast, such as practicing. One should know that this person is for great gain. The heart is not bad, and it is not worthy. Knowing that this person is not the Hinayana. In my Fa, he is named the first disciple." Look!This tells us very clearly that the Blessed One's sermon said forty-nine years that there are three Tibetans and twelve books. The most important thing is this sutra. If you can learn according to this method, you are the first disciple, and of course the first disciple's cultivation is The first method, isn't it?This is very clear.

The Blessed One said it himself, the first disciple, so the Blessed One admires the Buddhas and truly aspires to live in the blissful world. Let us not look at our karma so heavy. In the eyes of the Buddha, we are people who will become Buddhas in this life, so he praised, Among people, Fentoria is the white lotus, the most precious among the lotus. It is a metaphor that we are the most noble person among people. So we should not underestimate ourselves, we will become Buddhas in this life, just like The crown prince fell to the ground, and the courts were pressured.

We truly rely on these Buddhist chanters of Amitabha Buddha. We are more noble than professors, doctors, and dignitaries. In the eyes of the Buddha, we are much more honorable than them. It is like a baby born. He is destined to be...he. Is it the prince!He is the prince, and he is destined to be a king in this life, so his abilities are not comparable to those of generals and prime ministers, as if we are not comparable to those of professors and scholars.

But we are already going to become a Buddha in this life, just like this prince, he is destined to be a successor to take over the throne, so his status surpasses generals and prime ministers, and these officials must bow to him, respect, and make offerings.Therefore, how can we be praised by the world-honored Ho Te, and blessed by the great virtues of the Patriarch and the Dragon Heaven Protector. Of course we don’t have the blessings and virtues, but because of the relationship with Amitabha, we rely on Amitabha. Fu, thanks to him.

We are indeed the Bodhisattvas of the Ten Directions and the Protector of the Dragon Heaven are very respectful and caring for us, because we are like the prince, and will soon be the successors to the throne. From this perspective, we are about to become Buddhas!So it is true, this is not an encouragement, this is true, so it depends on whether you want to go and whether you want to be a prince?We can choose.

It is stated in "The Forty-Fourth Article of Shou Bodhi" that because this method is not heard, I do not believe it, I do not believe it when I hear it, XNUMX million Bodhisattvas reverted to Agudala Sanya Sanbodhi, and reverted to this Buddhist path. He could have become a Buddha, but he has regressed, so if he relies on his own practice without the blessings of the Buddha, he will regress in all likelihood. Our world is going forward and one retreat, so we can’t regress without reaching the eight places of Bodhisattva certification. Three do not retreat, that retreat is inevitable, so we absolutely cannot take risks.

"If there are sentient beings, use this scripture. Write, provide, hold, read, and speak for him in a short time. Persuade and hear, and no worries. Even day and night thinking about the other temple, and the merits of the Buddha. In no way, We will never retreat.” This tells us how we can’t retreat. In the current situation, we must always cultivate, we must stand up to ourselves, and we must persuade others to be self-interested and self-interested in teaching and learning.

We persuade others to remind ourselves that we continue to cultivate and persuade others to hold on, then we can safely guarantee that we will not turn back in this life. Don't say, oh!My faith and wish have arisen, so I will start to be very negligent and slack every day. This is not possible, and you may not be able to die, because your faith and wish may not be true, so you can't make a joke.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Xiuqing

(XNUMX) If you have enough faith to hear about the Buddha's title, you can also die (this master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

We are more diligent in chanting the Buddha, keeping the precepts, and persuading others to practice, not because we have to do more because we are afraid that we cannot die without being safe, no.Do it for the sake of what you want to do and you should do it, so there is no pressure and you do it happily, and doing this has this kind of cause and effect. When we keep the precepts, practice intensively, and cut off evil and cultivate goodness, we will also have this cause and effect.In the next life, we will be able to use it again by wishing. These blessings, the good destiny you make, this will reproduce the previous and future causes and effects, and the cause and effect will not be lost!Cause and effect are not empty.All dharmas are empty, and cause and effect are not empty, so we do it for this reason. Those who truly believe in the Buddha and who believe in seeking survival must show compassion and benevolence!

We just talked about soft body and mind, and then you will prefer to recite Buddha. What if you didn't do it like this?It is certain that there is something wrong with your faith and wish, and it is not safe. So even if we still don’t feel a strong faith and wish at once, it’s okay. Then we should do it steadily, recite the Buddha honestly, stop evil and cultivate good, hurry up and ask. Receive the five precepts, bodhisattva precepts.Start by skipping a meal at night, lose weight and detoxify by the way!And your skin will become more and more beautiful, you don't need to wipe those cosmetics, and you waste money, now the chemistry, look at the businessmen!Many have not studied Buddhism, and there are very few who really want to be so conscientious, not without, very few, so it is best not to trouble yourself, use the correct method!

Let’s go to the "Forty-fifth grade, leave this sutra alone." The point of this product is to tell us, "The past world will be destroyed, and I will use this sutra to stop a hundred years. There are sentient beings, those who hear the scriptures, Whatever you want, you can get salvation.” This paragraph of this sutra alone tells us one thing, this sutra is the only method that is most capable of saving sentient beings among the twelve books of the Tripitaka, even the last method. The scriptures have already lost their magic power and can no longer work. This scripture can be saved, it is really the most extraordinary.

What is the most extraordinary is that it can save people. No matter how expensive this medicine is, it is useless. It is a good medicine if it can save people and cure good diseases. Therefore, we can see from this sutra that the Buddhas in the ten directions are indeed the most admired. A sutra, because it saves the most people, right?He even destroyed all the sutras of the Last Dharma, and this sutra can still live in the world for a hundred years, and it can save many people during this one hundred years old.

At that time, the human roots were very poor, and the vegetation was all soldiers. When I saw a piece of grass on the road, I pulled it up and used it as a knife. I wanted to kill someone!What were you doing when you met without speaking?I think you are not pleasing to your eyes, and then quarreled, just pulled it up, there is no holiday!Now there are many people who are not doing their jobs properly. Don't just look at people casually. When you see some teenagers, if you accidentally see him, he thinks you have bad intentions!Then he will hit you, right?It was accidental, and you didn't have any malice. He looked at you, and he suspected that you were looking down on him, he was troubled, and he hit you.

At that time, people were like this. It was not pleasing to anyone, and they were always fighting and killing, so how could it be possible to ask him to listen to the scriptures?How is it possible that you call him Xinyuan?So what power allows him to save?It is the power of the Buddha name. Even if the Buddha name is already there, this sutra has disappeared for a hundred years after living in the world. In the end, people who can hear this Buddha name can also be saved, which just proves that the eighteenth vow of Master Shandao is the pure land method. With a pure practice, anyone who hears the name of the Buddha can die, right?

People in that period did not have the sutra of the last hundred years, and they could still live in the past when they heard the name of the Buddha. Of course, it was the power of the name of the Buddha, because the explanation of Master Shandao was even more thorough. The meaning of, the meaning of going back and making a vow, the one who speaks about Amitabha Buddha is his deeds, and he will be reborn.” Namwu Amitabha Buddha has the connotation of faith, aspiration, and deeds. Namwu is a refuge!Don’t you have enough faith, aspirations, and fulfilling your faith and wishes?That Amitabha is good!Faith, willingness, and action, he said very clearly, so the Buddha's title contains the three resources of faith, aspiration, and action.

There are some fellow practitioners, some fellow practitioners in Malaysia, including President Yu, he did not hear it completely, because I also talked about reading the four characters.But he thought that he could only recite the six characters, and desperately asked others to recite the six characters. In fact, you have the meaning of Nanwu in your heart. It means to take refuge and convert your life with all your heart. That's okay, so you can also recite the four characters, even if you do. If you don’t come out, you’re going to be Buddha, Buddha, and you’re almost out of breath before you die. It’s okay to recite a Buddha. It’s most important to have that wish in your heart.

Don’t cling to the word "I". After listening to it, he will increase his confidence, and he will have confidence in his death. He tells people everywhere that Master Renjing has taught very well. He must read the six characters for all kinds of things. I said, please don’t hurt me. After a while, someone said that it was passed around, saying that Master Renjing said that only six characters can die, that would be miserable. After a while, those who specifically read four characters will ask me to settle accounts, don't hurt me!I went back and explained it quickly. In fact, we usually talk about it. Maybe everyone didn't pay attention to it. "Diligent cultivation and adherence to the forty-sixth grade." This is also a further persuasion that we must study diligently, "The law is the law, and the long-term stay will not be destroyed." This is also the obligation of our four disciples. We should study it ourselves. Not only do you have to practice diligently, but you must also work hard to allow this Fa-rectification to live for a long time, so that you can also benefit sentient beings.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Xiuqing

(XNUMX) Long-time Xunxiu, promote the letter and wish to recite the Buddha faithfully (this is because the master of the draft has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

"Forty-seventh Grade Fuhui Beginning", this verse is best for everyone to memorize. I really like this verse. I will read this verse briefly. 
If you don’t repair Fuhui here in the past, you can’t smell it 
If you have already provided for such a thing, you can believe it with joy 
Evil arrogance, slackness and evil views, unbelievable Tathagata subtle methods 
For example, blind people cannot enlighten others in the dark 
You can only cultivate after the Buddha planted all kinds of goodness to save the world 
Wen has been held, written, read, praised, performed and supported 
If you want to be pure, you can decide to rebirth in Paradise 
Suppose the fire is full of three thousand Buddhas and Si Nengchao 
Tathagata, deep and broad wisdom, the sea is only Buddha and Buddha can know 
Hearing that billions of tribulations think about Buddha's wisdom to do its magical power unpredictable 
Tathagata Buddha knows that only the Blessed One can teach 
It's hard to find a Buddha in a person's life 
If all sentient beings go as Buddha and go beyond the universal sage 
It’s the wise man who believes in my teachings to tell the truth 
If this is the magical method, it is fortunate to hear that one should always recite the Buddha and be happy 
Sustained the breadth of life and death, Liu Buddha said that this person is true, kind and friendly

When I first came into contact with this method, the first thing I recited was the forty-eight vows, and then after the recitation, I would recite the forty-seventh stage, because this verse is easy to recite and the content is very complete. It starts from the basics. At the beginning, it said that if we hadn't cultivated the blessing and wisdom since the immeasurable calamity, we would not have been able to hear this Fa-rectification, or if we heard it, we would not be able to joyfully believe it.

Then there is an analogy. It’s like you want to tell a blind person how to take the road ahead, and he won’t be able to see it. You, a person with a lack of good roots, are useless to persuade him. If you won’t accept it, you must “only cultivate the goodness in the Buddha and save the world.” The journey of salvation is really the method of salvation. We can’t read every word lightly. This is The unbelievable method is purely a method of salvation relying on the Buddha’s will power. If the roots of goodness are not deep enough, there is no way to believe it, and it is impossible to practice with one's heart. Therefore, in the Amitabha Sutra, it is not allowed to live with a few good roots and virtues. That country.

He did not say that he could not be rich with wisdom and wisdom. He did not say that!His condition is good roots, then it's not our ability, right?Good roots means that we must accumulate blessings, blessings, wisdom, good roots, goodness!This past life has to be predestined with Amitabha Buddha, so this life will be met again by cause and predestined conditions. This is the condition, you see that there is no contradiction at all and it is very consistent.

The theory will soon be understood without any contradiction, and then there are many clues in the scriptures to prove that, you see, "The journey of salvation can only be achieved. Then if you are seeking a pure remedy, you decide to live in the kingdom of bliss, if the fire is full. Three thousand, the Buddha's mighty virtue can be super." This is not relying on our strength, single-minded survival, no matter what the situation, even if it is a disaster, it is not afraid.

Don’t run around when the disaster comes. Just sit in front of the Buddha or sit in the living room. You can recite the Buddha, and expect Amitabha to pick us up quickly. Don’t be afraid, so the disaster is also a fate, otherwise we It’s hard to go. I haven’t practiced that kung fu, and I can’t do anything if I want to go early, right?It is a good thing for us.

"The forty-eighth level of learning from the scriptures", we read a passage: "All the sentient beings are the aspirations of the Amitabha Buddha, and they will all be reborn in the world of bliss." When we hear this method, we can arouse joy and truly believe in aspirations Those who want to die, we all have a deep bond with Amitabha Buddha, the bond that has already been formed in the past life, so we should not dare to bear it.Oh!There is no such good thing that you can be a Buddha in this life. Of course it is not that simple. It is because we have a deep bond with Amitabha. It's just that we have caring for life and life, and we haven't really let go.

The reason why we can’t rebirth is because we have not let go of the world’s attachments and cravings. This is the most important thing. If you let go of one point, your willingness to regenerate, then raise one point, let go of five points, our willingness to regenerate. Just increase by five points, and the relative confidence in our rebirth will also increase. As soon as the faith in the rebirth increases, our Dharma joy and self-confidence will make our hearts more stable, right?These are all related to each other, so we must put it down as soon as possible.

Ask yourself every day, can I let go of my husband?Can I let go of my child?I am concerned about the money, my fame, fortune and status, the property under my family's name, and even the various treasures that I hide, can I put aside?Ask yourself in the same way, and then ask yourself whether it is true or false to let it go?Ask yourself, I know best that this is the homework we have to do every day. Kungfu is here, and the effort to let go is not for you to practice unhindered.

This so-called no thought is born!It is impossible for us to read what is not born with a single thought, it is absolutely impossible.And you don't have the idea of ​​not wanting to be born with a single thought. This single thought will hinder you, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve not having a single thought. You still have a thought to block you!Obstacles you, the thought of one thought that you want to ask for will prevent you from gaining one mind. So how does one attain the Buddha Samadhi in this state where one thought does not regenerate?We got it without asking for it.

We don’t need to ask, we will get it by thinking honestly. The real effort is the greed for the world. We have to look back at this like ourselves. Which ones of us are more greedy? Let us give up first from the most reluctant place. If you don't really let it go, it's best to do it. Don't say: "Yes! I let it go!", and then you didn't do it.

I'm a monk, it doesn't matter if I don't need to be a monk!Then you are not a monk, can you guarantee that your mind is a monk?Nine out of ten are fakes. Otherwise, if you want to shave now, you don’t have to have a destiny. It’s not that simple. You can only become a monk if you have a great blessing. Once you become a monk, no matter whether you cultivate well or not, you are a human being. The identity of the teacher.

You look like a teacher in a school, the standards are also uneven, but the identity of the person is the teacher, right?Therefore, it is not that simple to truly be able to become a monk with a good destiny!You have to make a vow first, and then often suffer from the Eight Passes, and plant this cause, so that you can be satisfied. So you have to give up first, give up first from the place where you are most uncomfortable, then you are truly a person with great roots.

If you send out things you don’t like first from a small place, and give away the things you don’t need first, and then give it away little by little, then you will feel the rewards that you will feel in the future. It will be very hard and painful. If it is the cause, it is the same. If you don’t want to live, don’t be afraid to give up even your life. If you give up this smelly body, you will get an incorruptible body.

Lightly dwelling body, non-dwelling body, your body can be filled with ten methods, the more thoroughly you give up, the more you can get. This is really the case, or we have to give up the things outside of our material body, so we have to give up our thoughts, so practice It is to learn to be honest, not to learn to be wise, for the sake of increasing and decreasing of the Tao, not to learn a lot of knowledge, views, and Buddhist names to teach others, so as to be a teacher.Like I used to like to talk about a lot of things, talk about self-nature, talk about prajna, this seems to mean that we are very good, because women generally think that this woman generally has a metaphor that is not good, big-hearted and brainless, the more loving Dressed up means that this person has no connotation. The pronoun of women is lack of wisdom, so we like to talk about "prajna sutras", talk about emptiness and self-nature with others, so that people feel that we are genuine. Have worked hard!

But now, I really don’t like to talk about it. I’m really showing off. It’s not necessary. You can learn it and use it for yourself. It’s really joyful to read the Prajna Sutra. It’s very liberating now. Everything is illusioned and let it go thoroughly. It helps. We let go and see through this emptiness. All laws have no self-nature. After all, emptiness is not available. But you can tell others that you want to save sentient beings and call him to recite Buddha. It’s impossible. He doesn’t understand, right?And it's not our realm.We seem to understand, and we can experience a little sense of relief at the moment, but that is in principle, at most it is enlightenment rather than enlightenment.

Enlightenment is not that simple, but it is also a slow process. Therefore, a person who is truly wise and practiced must be altruistic. Just like Amitabha, he will use the simplest method, the most direct and the most understanding, and the most direct and the most understandable by others. The way to benefit from it won’t be elusive to you. Of course, it’s his practice. We are not commenting on it, because it’s a different personal cause.However, in contrast, the simpler and more concise it is, the easier it is to benefit sentient beings. This is the true meaning of the existence of the Dharma in the world!It is to save sentient beings from suffering and happiness.

So this is the homework we usually do, and we have to ask ourselves every day, are we letting go more and more?We have to do this here. On the one hand, we must also enhance our faith, honestly rely on the Buddha, honestly admit that we are worthless and have serious karma. This is true.No one can escape, no matter what your status or status, it is sin, life and death, ordinary people, no exceptions, unless you come back on a wish, remind yourself every day, and then the most important thing is to read the Buddha honestly instead of pretending to be big. No matter how much you pretend, it’s useless to increase your knowledge and time, unless you don’t understand it!The reason is not clear.

Then we have to cultivate, and we must also focus on the relevant Scriptures related to the departed life, especially the core of faith and willingness. Therefore, the CDs we circulate must be cultivated every day. This is after I get the benefits through my own. The key points that I have compiled for everyone are based on the knowledge of the Patriarch’s Great Virtue.

The old monk talked so much, and his focus is on the part of the rebirth, the part of the resources for the rebirth, the great virtues of our ancestor, the core point of persuading us, I will sort it out for everyone, and it is relatively simple. In terms of methods, this is something we often need to cultivate. This is not recommended because of what I said, but because this part is indeed the most important. Even if you want to refer to the content of other masters or other scriptures, it is also To be locked in this range.

Cultivation every day, increase faith and desire, behavior is to carry out the door, and we have always focused on the purpose of this sutra. Only when we focus on the purpose of this sutra, true faith and willingness are sufficient. Absolutely not to be mixed, you are not mixed, you are not. Respect, the faith may be false. It has always been focused on uninterrupted, and it will naturally be able to achieve Buddhism samādhi without knowing it. Regardless of whether there is samādhi in the present life or not, there is definitely no problem in rebirth anyway.

Okay, that's all for our study today. This time the ten-day lecture has been completed. I wish everyone, everyone can be reborn with the highest grade, Amitabha!
