(XNUMX) Learn from Mrs. Wetich to see through the world and put it down

Good evening everyone, Amitabha. 

Yesterday we learned from you. Many fellow practitioners have never heard of the cause of the initiation of the "Sutra of Buddhism". Today our president also said that he had never heard of it, and I was surprised, but never heard of it. After listening to it, I understood that the roots of this kindness are very deep.In fact, this sutra is not as difficult as we can remember, so yesterday’s lesson was mainly to clarify that the "Guan Sutra" is not a practice of the sixteen insights, and the "Sutra of Guan Wu Shou" has another name called "Sixteen Guan Sutra". ".

This is because since ancient times, many of his ancestors have practiced according to the sixteen concepts in the "Guan Sutra". If you want to practice insight, you can do it, because this sutra has two purposes: one is to practice the samādhi of the Buddha and the other is to recite the Buddha. Samadhi.But it is really in line with the characteristics of our Pure Land Method, this special method. It corresponds to Amitabha’s forty-eight wishes to save sentient beings in the ten directions. The original concept is to practice meditation on the Buddha's samādhi. This purpose is the most in the real "Guan Sutra". Core practice.And this point is very clear to us only by Master Shandao, the people of Amitabha's retreat who wish to come again.

In the past, the old monk also talked about "Guanjing" according to the four posts of Master Shandao, because "Guanjing" is very important. It is one of the three classics of our Pure Land Three Classics, but because the old monk he The main purpose is to promote the "Blessed Life Sutra", so many fellow practitioners are relatively unfamiliar with the content of the "Guan Sutra", and in fact it is closely related to our study.

Yesterday, I mentioned the origin of the "Guan Jing", which is actually very exciting and can be made into a movie. Moreover, Mrs. Vettich, the crasher, although she grew up in the palace, she is a hard-working woman, so we are actually too. The crash of "Guan Jing", especially now, although the kind of suffering we are experiencing is different from that of Mrs. Vettihi, the kind of suffering may be worse than that, so we learn this one. The classics should be regarded as teaching us.

As long as we think of ourselves as Mrs. Wetich, of course we should not be as unlucky as her. Having this son caused a family change, but one thing we have to learn from her is that when she is facing this kind of adversity, she is How to make a choice, she can give up all her glory and wealth in the palace, and don't want to stay in this world for a moment, so she asked the Lord to introduce her to a worry-free place. 

This is called true seeing through. People are so bitter, and people who really understand suffering will see through. Then we are suffering every day, haha, and don’t know how to solve it.If we are really like Mrs. Wetich, you know how great this result is. Not only do we use this crisis, the so-called crisis is a turning point. When this crisis becomes a turning point, we can die in this life. Elysium becomes a Buddha, and the taste is the third grade of the previous generation.

(XNUMX) Put your mind at ease before loading into Fashui

So don't be polite, everyone, when we study this part, we not only confirm that our method is sure that everyone can die, but also that the taste can be top grade. If you don't open your mind, it will be difficult for this method to get into your heart.In the past, the old lay Li Bingnan, when he accepted the old monk to seek the Dharma, he negotiated a condition with him. The teachers who the old monk was close to in the past: Master Zhang Jia, Professor Fang Dongmei, those are all great knowledge, and what they teach must be a very extraordinary truth. .

But the old layman Li Bingnan also asked him. I don’t recognize the past! This makes sense, because if you come to learn new things with past prejudices, you won’t be able to pretend to be in, so we have to remember in every one At the moment, when we learn this thing, we will relax our minds so that you can be blessed.After this Dharma has entered your mind, you can compare it objectively and objectively to see which Dharma you compare to.

If you block an idea from the past at the beginning, the Fa won’t enter, and wait until you want to think about it, uh...what new things have I learned, the more you think about it, the more time it seems that time has passed and you haven’t learned it. New things, because what you pretend in the process of listening and what you pretend in your heart are all past events. We are not talking about past events and never give up. It’s all wrong. It’s not like this, but let it go temporarily. Only in this way can our mind be broad.

Why this Buddhism uses the sea as a metaphor, that is, it can accommodate hundreds of rivers, our minds have to be so large to accommodate the water of Dharma, and all kinds of water of Dharma enter our hearts, so adjust this mentality so that each of us can follow Like Mrs. Wetich, we learned this from the explanation of Master Shandao, which is not what we imagined. I probably mentioned the structure of the "Guan Jing" to you yesterday.

(XNUMX) A sense of great rewards in holding the Dharma and generosity

This is because when I was a beginner, I was conscious. I accidentally heard the old monk speak "The Sutra of Infinite Life" on the satellite TV station.I can say that within ten minutes, I devoted myself to studying Buddhism, and devoted myself to this pure land method. I only wanted to live in the world of bliss, and I didn't want to preach.At that time, I immediately let go of everything. I just didn't have a job, and I didn't need to resign. I immediately closed the door, almost a whole month without going out.

Eat...all the other housework is put down, just one person, just close the door and work hard, there are many realms in that one, and when you see the Buddha, you seem to smile at me when you worship the Buddha. I’m not sure, but it’s true. Very lifelike feelings.So afterwards, I also got a big heart. I used a loan for the first two or three years. I am not very rich because I will spend it when I have money. I am a person who can’t save money. The life I live is better than Wang Yongqing is okay. He is very frugal. I ate abalone and shark fin at the time.Amitabha, I am eating it as a snack, and I dare to spend as much money as I can. I have this personality and I enjoy life very much.So there was not much money at the time. At that time, I saved a little money. I don’t want to get a loan. My family and my grandmother said: What will you do when you get old? I'll talk about it when I get old.Loan, and then buy a small house to set up a circulation agency, and I can only get in and out of it wholeheartedly.

At that time, because there was a little balance, my aunt helped me take care of the interest income every month. After two or three years, I didn’t have any income. All day long, I listened to the scriptures and heard the law, and there was a magic weapon for circulation. .The generosity in those three years was really done quite thoroughly. Although I didn't do it in the tens of millions or hundreds of millions, I did it with all my strength, so the induction was also very strong. Later, I had such a good cause for learning the Fa with the old monk.

(XNUMX) Be good at learning after listening to the scriptures and the Fa

So during that time, I listened to a lot of old monks’ teachings, and I often heard uh~ how to talk about this today and that tomorrow, and the big difference is, for example: In the "Diamond Sutra", the "Diamond Sutra" is about empty , Then the Prajna Sutra, the Prajna Sutra; then the Ksitigarbha Sutra and our Pure Land Sutra belong to the two series of sutras, namely, there are free doors and there are doors in Buddhism.Then when the old monk is giving these two different sutra teachings...you will find that the difference in the teachings will be more obvious, so let's compare them.

So after I learned to teach the scriptures with the old monk, I have a deeper understanding of the principles in it. It turns out that the teachings should take into account the seasons and factors of various skill, so there is no fixed method for the law.There is really no way of fixing the law. If you cling to the words, you will die. You must die under the teaching.So we have to be smart, what should we learn, and what should we learn? What should we listen to? We should listen to what is meaningful, beneficial, beneficial, can enhance our confidence, increase our dao karma, listen to those words, and those words. It was for us.

If you listen to it and make you lose your confidence, make you annoyed, make you more stressed, or even a little desperate, study... alas... there is no chance for liberation, then you put these in, you are yourself Not good at learning, that is, good roots are a bit worse.So this is very important. Not everyone can understand this listening scripture. Many people hear it wrong, so it can't be achieved in a lifetime.

It’s not that if you really listen carefully, you can achieve good results, not necessarily! You see that many people, many people do charity, and many people give a lot of money. What is the result? There are many people like this.So we have to be careful. Often I think we fellow practitioners are really serious. We often listen to the scriptures and the Fa, but we must be good at learning. If we hear it wrong, we will die under teaching.

(XNUMX) Those with three hearts must be born in another country

Then when I was waiting for the clean room in the lounge just now, I was thinking about delusions. Our delusions will inevitably occur. I don’t know what I’m thinking. Suddenly there was a voice. This ingestion caused me. Note that it turned out to be the "six-character hongming" voice of our public chanting Buddha.Uh... This voice suddenly attracted me and overwhelmed my delusion. I didn't seem to have this reaction yesterday. I didn't notice it yesterday.

What I just wanted to talk about today, I think it suddenly made me feel that our fellow practitioners here are indeed on the doorstep, like our chanting in various realms, and cultivating together is really... our President Yuan and Vice President Zhang, so Driven by the concerted efforts over the years, we fellow practitioners really have good roots. I heard a message from this Buddha name. It has a feeling of sincerity in it that attracts my attention and has the power to treat me. I was really touched by the delusion to interrupt, this is very rare.Everyone reads very attentively, and there is sincerity in the concentration.

So don’t think about sincerity. Our top students talk about sincerity, deep-heartedness, and aspirational aspirations. It seems that sincerity is very difficult. Sincerity reaches the extreme, the old monk once said: Zeng Guofan said that a thought is not born. Sincere.That is the highest standard. Sincerity does not have to be achieved. Of course, there are differences in the depth of this sincerity, but as long as we have the ability to focus, respect and do something truly and sincerely, there is sincerity in the moment. Inside.So we can do this three-heartedness, and this is all set according to the standards that ordinary people can do.

So often the old monks talked about how we should cultivate a pure mind. This is a standard improvement. We try our best to follow this standard.It's necessary to do it, but doesn't it have to be that way? If we become virtuous and holy in this way, we don't necessarily have to go to the Paradise of Bliss. We will create a land of Buddha ourselves.Okay, so don't hit your own confidence, but increase your confidence. This is a very important learning attitude.

Okay, then we are going to start learning the scriptures of the high-grade ascension. Please put your palms together and turn to the fourth page of the fourth page and the scripture: Buddha tells Ananda and Vettihi: "the upper-grade ascension, if there are sentient beings willing to live Those in the other country have three kinds of hearts, even if they die.What is three?One is sincere, the two are deep-hearted, and the three are votive; those with three-mindedness will be born in the other country. "Good to see this short paragraph first.This passage can be said to be the conditions, methods, and theories of rebirth disclosed in the "Guan Jing", which is a very important light.Here it is very clear to tell us that a person with three minds must be born in the other country and be born at the top grade. This passage is a scripture on the top grade. Therefore, as long as we can master these three hearts, everyone can be able to be born at the top grade.

Just now, the old monk mentioned that the three blessings of the clean karma must be done to be able to die.In fact, as long as we have these three hearts to learn, we can know that there is no contradiction, no contradiction.Because when Master Shandao explained the three minds, he said: "Although the three minds are the top grade, they have the top XNUMXth grade, and they are all good at the same level. 』In other words, the conditions of these three minds, although he puts it in this paragraph of the Sutra of the Supreme Grade, but "all the way to fix goodness", that is, the whole sixteen views, including the three blessings of pure karma, all must have this. Three hearts, and then go back to be able to die.On the contrary, the first sixteen views, the thirteen views are for assimilation of goodness, and the latter three views are the three blessings of sanctions and purifying karma. Even if you have cultivated to perfection, you will lose one dedication, which means you don’t have this. Three hearts, that is, faith and wish, these three hearts are true faith, true wish! If there is no true faith and true wish, can we die?No! So in fact, the key to rebirth lies in these three hearts. With these three hearts, this paragraph tells us that you must be born in the other country. Without these three hearts, you can't be reborn. This is the key.

(XNUMX) No two directors

So does it matter if the Sanfu of the Clean Karma is not achieved? Does it matter?It doesn't matter!But it’s not that you just do it casually, don’t explain it yourself, you really have these three hearts, and the more true your faith and wishes, the manifestation of your behavior, whether it’s the Three Blessings or the good laws of the world. , These three blessings have been included, your behavior must be better, the two are one, inseparable, you must understand it this way.

If you truly believe in the wishes, you must work hard to implement the three blessings of pure karma. If you don't take these three blessings casually or even you don't pay attention to them, it also means that you have no faith in your wishes, so you can't die. That's what it means.It's not that Sanfu must do it, but you must do it and try your best.The old monk said that he must do that... He often has a frightening tone. This is also an emphasis, because some people and sentient beings need to scare you like this and tell you how serious it is.If you don’t study diligently, you can’t do anything. We have to understand the inner intentions and work hard!

Otherwise, I said all of a sudden that the three blessings must be done, and it is enough to cultivate blessings, right, what is the real truth? It is the condition of rebirth, and the key is to "believe in the wish", and there are people who truly believe in the wish. They will definitely implement the Three Blessings. Those who believe in and wish deeper, the more diligent the Three Blessings will be, the more consummate they will be.

This way everyone can experience it, so the key to rebirth lies in the existence of three hearts.There must be three blessings if you have three blessings, but three blessings do not necessarily have three blessings. If you have no dedication, if you are willing to go to the sky in the next life, or come to the world again, then the Buddha has nothing to do with you. How can you die? The same.The key to rebirth lies in the three-heartedness, which is "faith and willingness." Here, the three-heartedness talks about the deep heart and the heart that believes in the most. I would like to believe and do the same.

If you have true faith and eagerly chanting continuously, you must practice chanting in accordance with the teachings.It’s just that it emphasizes sincerity and sincerity in the Buddhist scriptures, because we want to be high-grade, so this sincerity is particularly important. Simply put, because top-grade is the highest standard, so your faith must be very true. And this is really not a thoughtless thought, but our ordinary standards can do it.

(XNUMX) Think about it every day 

If you say low-grade rebirth or middle-grade rebirth, the taste may be half or half of your faith and wish. It may not be so earnest, but you can also die. As long as you have faith and wish, what you cultivate will get what you want.Therefore, the conditions for being high-quality and high-quality are especially emphasized and sincere, which is to tell us what is the key to high-quality?The same is inseparable from the letter and wish, but the letter and wish must be particularly sincere, special and true.

So whether or not you can die depends on faith, and you are XNUMX% dependent on the Buddha. We have made this very clear inside.But if we want to be high-grade, we have to ask ourselves, is this faith really true?There are deep and shallow truths. The depths are different. If we want to be high in taste, we have to work harder on our sincerity. We ask ourselves, not questionnaires, and don’t ask if no one raises our hands.Just now, an old Bodhisattva told me: "Master: I'm telling you. Actually, I have the confidence to die, but I don't dare to raise my hand when I see no one."

I told you that last time I talked about forty-eight wishes, and I have always been open, showing that I have the confidence to die. This is based on the basis, and it is also taught by Master Shandao, we must be thinking about it! This is also the case. Our practice, the skill of the Master Master’s teaching, is also one of our homework! Every day we think that if you can’t die, you really can’t die. That’s an obstacle.

Therefore, Master Shandao reminded us to think carefully, and he gave a special explanation in "Shu Tie Shu".We follow the teachings! Tell ourselves every day, tell others that we must die, and this is really respect for Amitabha, not a show off to ourselves! We introduce to others full of confidence in Amitabha and confidence in this method, others Only then can we have confidence and sincerely praise and offer to Amitabha.

If you don’t dare to bear it yourself, and you don’t have the confidence to introduce others, how can others have confidence? This is a simple truth.We are not trying to show off ourselves, because this method is XNUMX% dependent on the power of the Buddha, not our power. What good is there to show off? We are ordinary people of sin, life and death, and only rely on the Buddha if there is no way to go. This is the only method. Only then have the opportunity to leave, what we have made clear is the inability to leave, what can ordinary people show off!

Therefore, to speak of confidence is to have no doubt about Amitabha's will power, compassion for Amitabha's ability and wisdom, and no doubt and confidence in this law.Of course you have to talk if you are confident, why don't you dare to talk?This is the best way to truly promote this method, and it's also what the "Four Tie Shu" talks about to be creative.Master Shandao taught us something like this. This is the mystery of the practice.If you think of it as I'm showing off, of course you are embarrassed to say that, let's be humble, and we need to be clear about this concept.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Zhixiang, approved by Master Renjing

(One of the eleven) Self-strength three-heart and other strength three-heart 

Next, let’s watch Master Shandao explain to us what three hearts are, saying: "One is sincere.The most true.Sincere is true.To understand the practice and practice of all sentient beings, speech, mind, and karma.Must be true to heart.There must be no appearance of virtuous and diligence.Embrace falsehood.Greed, hatred, hypocrisy and treacherous one hundred end.Vicious and hard to invade are the same as viper.Although from three industries.Named the Goodness of Miscellaneous Poisons.Also known as a false trip.It's not a real industry.If you are such a safe starter.Even though hard work in mind and body.Go hurriedly at twelve o'clock in the day and night.Such as the burning head.The goodness of miscellaneous drugs.Those who want to return to this miscellaneous poisonous journey to survive in the Pure Land of the Buddha.This must be done.Why.It is when the Amitabha Buddha is traveling because of the Bodhisattva.Even at the moment of thought, the three karma cultivations are all done in the true heart.Whatever you do, be fun.It is also true. 』

Well, this paragraph is the sincerity that Master Shandao explained to us in the narration. Simply speaking, "the most sincere is the truth, the sincere is the truth." It means to be sincere. If you want to be sincere, then we are ordinary people. There is no way to initiate true sincerity.There is no way to initiate sincerity on our own, because our ordinary people have the three karma of body, speech, and mind. The so-called three poisons are the body. Even if we arrive... When I grow old, cultivate to death, wait until that moment, is there still greed, hatred and ignorance?Have.So there is still no sincerity. If we rely on ourselves to purify these three poisons, it will be impossible for our sincerity to manifest.

In general, practice requires immeasurable calamity, and then show your sincerity, so of course there is still a method. If there is no method, it is impossible to teach here, so there is actually a key to the sincerity here. For this sincerity, let’s talk about the three hearts as a whole. Let's first explain the whole three minds. There are "three minds of self-reliance" and "three minds of other power".The three-hearted self-reliance, this sincere, deep-hearted, and revolving aspiration, depends on us to generate this sincerity. It is also very difficult to believe in true aspirations, and it will be defeated at random.

Today, I heard that I was very confident. Oh, I have confidence in me, I have confidence in the Paradise of Elysium, I really want to go, I really believe it, you believe it now, feel very confident, right?The next day the president does not necessarily refer to our president Yuan, someone who is very representative and knowledgeable, or even said that the old Wang next door has a good relationship with me for XNUMX to XNUMX years, and he has cultivated for so long. He told me: No way! How can it be that simple? Your karma is so heavy.

Wow, he is miserable. He has a status and status. Oh, I have said so much, and he has such a good relationship with me. There is absolutely nothing wrong with him to persuade me, why do you say this letter is true?Shaken, right? , The person who can be unshakable, speak once without shaking, twice or three times a hundred times. Do you see it unshakable? Your confidence is shaken, so our faith and wishes are actually unstable. Then instability is not true. Yes. Change is not true.

Say you really want to leave now, do you want to go?There may be a few, but you say all of them, maybe I believe that everyone who comes here to listen to the class has almost made a wish: "I am willing to go to the Paradise of Bliss." But are your wishes true?If it’s true if you just say leave now, otherwise it’s not insurance. You will inevitably think about it, oh... my money hasn’t been spent yet, oh... my will hasn’t been written yet, so what? Yes, as long as you have a piece of grass still nostalgic, that wish is not true.

A piece of grass is more important than going to the Paradise of Elysium. How can this wish be true? You will know it as soon as you take the test, and you will fail the test immediately! And this is the case in all cases, because we are ordinary people, maybe I don’t have many An old Bodhisattva still has a true wish, so what should we do? We can’t get these three minds, there is a way! What this master master teaches us is to rely on "the power of the three minds."

Respectful excerpts from disciple Zhixiang, approved by Master Renjing

(XNUMX of XNUMX) Self-strength three-hearted and other strength three-hearted

If we don’t rely on his power, our ordinary people are just like what the Master Shandao just said here: "Although the three karma is called the goodness of miscellaneous poisons." Even though we seem to be very diligent in reciting the Buddha all day, we also require life when doing charity. But because we have three poisons in our hearts, we don't have a true heart, so "it's also called a false trip, and it's not a real karma."If you want to "want to go back to this miscellaneous poisonous journey, to survive the pure land of the other Buddha, this must not be done." There is no way! So why his ancestor ruled that he must be a bodhisattva to be a bodhisattva of the highest grade. He is from the "self-strength three minds" "I'm an ordinary man, he initiated this three-hearted self-reliance, and sincerely believes in true wishes. This is really impossible for ordinary men to do, so they will guess that this is a bodhisattva that can do it.

In fact, the Bodhisattva can't do it, because to go to the world of bliss, to the pure land of the Buddha, that is to be absolutely pure, you are the Bodhisattva waiting for enlightenment Bodhisattva, waiting for enlightenment Bodhisattva, and the first stage of ignorance, you still have to go back and rely on the Buddha. Power can die.You see, if Samantabhadra Bodhisattva doesn’t perform with us, he also wants to go back, and he goes back to the world of bliss, so no one can do it by self-reliance and three-heartedness. It must be achieved by the will of the Buddha and blessed by Amitabha. Waiting for enlightenment Bodhisattva besides the need, let alone us.

Therefore, this practice does not teach us to rely on our own three-mindedness, nor does it rely on ourselves to generate these three-mindedness.So if it is to rely on his power and three minds, it is very simple. Let me give you an example to understand why it has been emphasized that this method is XNUMX% relying on the power of the Buddha to believe in the Buddha. This letter is willing to "believe", Master Hui Yi In the explanation of the six beliefs, he talks about all aspects, believing in oneself, believing in him, believing in truth, believing in things, believing in causes, and believing in effects.

He talks about all aspects, but what we really want to believe in this discipline is "believe in him."This is the key, which is to believe in the power of "Buddha".What is this situation like? Just like we are a drop of water, our water is very turbid and evil, full of the three poisons of greed, anger, and delusion, but once it flows into the sea, it is Amitabha’s great wish that the sea is immediately purified and disinfected and integrated. , We also become the sea, so Amitabha's three karma is... all are pure.

Only a person who is pure can become a Buddha, so we only need to rely on the Buddha and become one with Amitabha. Believe in him is to rely on him. The way to become one with him. We don’t doubt XNUMX%, and leave everything to Amitabha. This giving is to be one with him. You have to believe in you to give it to him and give your life to him. If you are willing to give your life to him, it means that you really have faith. If you rely on him, you will There are often some inductions. Whether we see it or feel it in our heart, we can interact with the Buddha right now. This time is true faith in the present.

And this true belief is different for each person, but you really taste that taste. At this time, you are in the state of inanimate dharma forbearance. Belief in Xi Wu Ren: believe in forbearance, Xi forbearance, and forbearance, forbearance is forbearance. There is already that state of entry.So how do we have the three-mindedness? The key is to rely on the power of the three-mindedness or the power of the Buddha. The cultivation of the three-mindedness is the same. The closer you rely on XNUMX% to believe, you can really not give it to Amitabha. Arrangement, this letter is XNUMX% letter.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Zhixiang, approved by Master Renjing

(XNUMX) Leave everything to Amitabha

If you are half-believing, then you are almost sure, at least you still believe, and if you don't believe it at all, you can't feel it, then it's not the foundation of this method.Then the stronger you feel, the more rewarding you can feel. Why is there a lotus bud in the womb? This good guide master described it as a palace fetus, and it is also the suspicious city of the border in our "Infinite Life Sutra", this All belong to the lotus bud, because there is doubt, what is doubt, doubt about the wisdom of Buddha, right?There is no XNUMX% belief in the doubt of Buddha.

But I have a little faith, and I really want it, so I will still be born into the bud and wrap it up first. When your suspicion is resolved, the flower will bloom to see the Buddha. Then the taste is relatively poor. There are three generations and nine grades. According to you The level of suspicion, the level of your good roots and the depth of the ninth-rank difference, then the time of being wrapped in the flower bud is different.

If we are XNUMX% dependent on the eighteenth wish and XNUMX% dependent on the Buddha, we don't think about anything, and we should recite the Buddha wholeheartedly and give all of our body, mind, and even life to Amitabha.What I think every day in my heart is like Master Yinguang put the word "death" on my forehead, reminding myself every day, always reminding myself that I want to live on the power of Buddha wholeheartedly, and the Buddha will definitely come to pick me up, without the slightest doubt, then In this case, when you die, you will see the Buddha immediately.

When the lotus came, Amitabha took the lotus and did not wrap it up. It was open from beginning to end, and the flowers bloomed immediately to see the Buddha.Do you see the Buddha's mind, you have no doubt about the Buddha, and then take yours and sit on the lotus to the Paradise of Paradise and the Paradise of Paradise.Amitabha Buddha is to repay the Buddha, and the world of bliss is the manifestation of his pure heart. He is to repay the Buddha. Of course he lives in retribution. We are one with him, of course.Moreover, the Pure One Retribution in the Paradise of Bliss is not the four soils that the Tiantai Sect judged, but he can judge that way. He can judge from his point of view, because he uses his own strength to practice morality, concentration and wisdom, and then purifies his mind according to his own skill level. The depth, the four soils convicted, that is another kind of practice.

(XNUMX) True faith, true willingness to receive the rewards, the most complete and the most victorious

Our Pure Land Method, according to Master Shandao, is to rely on the power of the Buddha. It is to directly follow Amitabha, and really take Amitabha’s forty-eight vows. We merge into the sea of ​​his forty-eight vows. When we are with Amitabha, he lives in retribution and we of course live in retribution. Ah! So don’t be clinging to the words. The words have different causes and conditions. They have different realms, and each has different realms. This is the most complete and the most extraordinary.

The retribution is the most extraordinary. Then it is in line with all the good people who have passed away. They will meet in one place. They will make up for the whole life. They are like Buddha Amitabha. All these merits and benefits are used. They are equivalent to the Buddha. Buddha, if we are not merged with Buddha Amitabha, why should we be equal to Buddha? We are not integrated into his merits. On what basis do we receive everything, merit and wisdom are immediately the same as Amitabha.So this is what we're talking about, the most extraordinary is this way, the top grade can really be obtained.Through the blessing of Amitabha's aspiration, we truly believe in the true aspiration-accept it, and accept it XNUMX%.The retribution is the most complete and the most extraordinary.

If you have to rely on your own strength, you can do it on your own. It is equivalent to the goodness, concentration and dispersion of goodness in this sutra. For all the cultivation methods, you can also cultivate the dedication. You can cultivate the three blessings of the pure karma. You can go back, but the result will be different, because your confidence is weaker.You will want to rely on self-reliance to practice. People who return to the Buddha usually have a little bit weaker faith in the Buddha.Why? Maybe it’s not enough to rely on the Buddha, but I need to cultivate a little and then go back. This is a manifestation of such a weak confidence in the subconscious.Maybe you haven't noticed it yourself. If you feel that you don't doubt the Buddha at all, and are confident, why do you still need to go back and forth on your own?

But this doesn’t mean that we don’t do anything else. We don’t need to stop evil and cultivate goodness and recite the Buddha, no! This is a state where the governing body is unobstructed. It is done according to the situation. There is his cause and effect, and the cause and effect of the ten virtues is the cause and effect of the ten virtues. There is a cause and effect of meditation meditation, but this is not about taking the supplies of longing for rebirth, and Amitabha takes care of all the supplies of rebirth.

(XNUMX) Going back to Buddhism is to be XNUMX% pure

And even if we have cultivated for a lifetime, we really can't accumulate a little bit of resources to go back to the pure Buddha country.We don't actually have this ability, so don't think about saying: We have to rely on ourselves, oh, accumulate a little more, and then pay a little more. This is more powerful, and the merit is greater.

Master Yinguang said what kind of power we ordinary people have, only karma since the beginning of calamity.Powerful is also "karma", which flows with the industry.IWe have cultivated to death, our three karma is still impure, where is the dedication of merit? Your dedication must be pure, and only those who are absolutely pure can return to the Buddha kingdom.If we go back to humanity, that’s all right. Go back to the ten good things of heaven. We must go back to the Buddha country to be XNUMX% pure. We can’t do this in our lifetime. How can merits be dedicated?

Although I recognize this fact, honestly I really rely on the Buddha XNUMX%.There is nothing we can do without Buddha, nor can we use other powers.So although we can't make use of it, we must try our best to do the three blessings and precepts.This is the same reason. The stronger your faith in the Buddha, the stronger you feel the blessings of the Buddha power, and the softness of your body and mind; you are now repaying the grace of the Buddha, because of your Fa, you have faith and tolerance, joy and tolerance, and enlightenment and tolerance. Naturally, you will try to do your best with these things about things, precept, concentration, wisdom, and the Three Goods.Do it happily without reluctance at all, and it is more efficient and effective.This is our Pure Land Method, one of the most shortcuts and a mystery.

If you start from here to feel the blessings of the Buddha, first have absolute confidence in Amitabha, and other things can naturally be done very well.This is to rely on the blessings of the Buddha to help us cut off evil, cultivate goodness and purify the three karma. This is the most effective method.If you can't sense the blessings of the Buddha, you can work hard on your own to practice. Everyone knows that practice is difficult, not that simple.Just ask you to ban your language for one day today. If you don’t have an ostomy, you can’t. You accidentally blurt out, habit! So simple "practice" we are not qualified to talk about practicing. Strictly speaking, we just start practicing if we barely talk about becoming a monk. If you are in a general orthodox Sangha group, because there are strict precepts all the time.There are three hundred and forty-eight precepts for women and two hundred and fifty for men. They are bound to you by body, speech, and mind. You will be reminded right away when you commit them. That is the beginning of practice.

A layman asked the old monk Guangqin, how do we practice as a layman? The old monk Guangqin said, "Residents, recite the Buddha well, and cultivate good luck." He said very politely, that's it. In fact, It means that there is no practice at all. How do you practice? It’s very difficult if you don’t create karma. How can you practice? That’s why the scriptures say good men and women, but when it comes to practitioners, we don’t dare to take this title casually. Claiming to be a practitioner, this is not comparable to the average person in the world.

Therefore, we have to recognize the truth clearly before we can truly grasp the starting point of the Pure Land Method, which is to rely on the power of Buddha.This three-heartedness also depends on the power of Buddha, so that we can learn from "the three-heartedness of the other."Because Master Shandao told us that the three generations and nine grades are indeed aimed at ordinary people; it is not like his ancestor, if his ancestor is a bodhisattva, he is relying on his own practice, relying on the three minds of self-reliance.Then I said just now that I can’t go with the three minds of self-reliance, so if I go, I will live in the same land as the sage. It is a very low one, not directly into the realm of the Great Bodhisattva and Amitabha.

(XNUMX) The three generations and nine products are all aimed at ordinary people

Master Shandao talked about the three generations and nine grades, it is the level of taste.The three generations are all aimed at ordinary people, and the level of taste lies in the difference in encounter: The third level of the upper generation is to meet the ordinary man; the third level of the middle generation is to meet the small ordinary man. This small includes the world blessing, which is the world blessing in the three blessings, which is the world. Good method; small is the Hinayana method, when the big is the Mahayana method, the third grade of the next generation is the encounter with the evil ordinary people.So today we are studying the Pure Land Method. This is the Mahayana method. The condition we encounter is the Mahayana condition. Corresponding to it also means that we are the root nature of the Mahayana.

Mahayana's root mentality is relatively large, because we want to develop bodhicitta, not only to liberate ourselves, but also to save sentient beings by multiplying aspirations.So, in fact, we should only have the third grade of the upper generation before we die, so why the old monk has said so many fellow practitioners, now that most of the roots of human beings really die in the middle generation, it is also possible.That's because on the surface we are learning the Mahayana method, but in our hearts we still look like our own people, and we still take care of ourselves. This mentality is not big enough, and the bodhicitta has not been developed very well.

So this is not about looking at the surface, focusing on the mind regardless of the matter, and focusing on the mind. Then the middle-aged rebirth means that you have a small mind.Of course, it's like the third generation of the middle generation that Master Shandao talked about. Those people who belong to the Hinayana or the world blessings do not develop great bodhicitta. This is how the third generation and the ninth product come from.If it's his ancestor, it's a completely different concept based on chanting Buddhism, precept, concentration, wisdom, and so on.

According to Master Shandao, we should all be in the third rank of the previous generation. Among the third rank of the previous generation, as long as we are sincere and sincere and true, we must be top-ranked. It is not difficult! Don't want to die, the result is false of.That's not true faith and wish, this is something that you can master, so if you want to be the upper-ranking or the lower-ranking, it's up to you. We can control it by ourselves. Don't dare to bear it.

This is completely a gift from Amitabha Buddha, our great compassionate father, unconditionally gave it to his children.Inheriting property, you will not care about repaying property tax or inheritance tax. There are no conditions. It just depends on whether you want more or less.It’s okay if you want to be high-grade and reborn. You have to be careful. Then you are the middle-aged, and even the evil sentient beings, Amitabha, will not give up. You can repent and repent and live a life, but you can die, but the taste is relatively poor. .So the three generations and nine grades actually contain the objects of all sentient beings in the ten directions.No one will give up, each of us can die.It’s just that the difference lies in the level of taste, and the level of taste can also be determined by us. Of course, if you have not heard the teachings of Master Shandao, you will not understand. This is the correct practice, the most core and simplest practice, compared with the teachings of his patriarch Difficult, they have their seasons and conditions, and they have different roots.

It is very tiring to cultivate ourselves in a more difficult way, and it is rare for one or two of the XNUMX people to go.If you didn't meet the practice of Master Shandao, it would not be that simple. It is really not easy to die. We have also seen so many people who recite the Buddha and die. How many?This key must be grasped. The high grade lies in the three hearts. Whether or not you can die depends on whether you believe in aspirations or not, and who you believe in?Believe in Buddha!

It’s not enough to believe that we have Buddha-nature. Of course you can believe it. But the power of rebirth is not in believing that we have Buddha-nature. We all know that we have Buddha-nature. This is a fact, but everyone is still circulating, right? ?It's still reincarnation all the time! It's still worrying. It's right to have Buddha nature. The problem is that the dust can't be removed.So believe in him, believe in him, believe in Amitabha's aspirations, and be true.As long as we accept and do not doubt that power, the merits can be blessed on us, and the dust on our body can be removed from the dust on the Buddha nature. Once we are reborn in the Paradise of Paradise, we are equivalent to Amitabha.

(XNUMX) Convinced that we are now sinful, life and death, ordinary people

It’s not difficult to become a Buddha, it’s really incredible. If you don’t meet this condition, you will be infinitely circling from life to life; when you meet you, if you figure it out, you accept it, you will become a Buddha in this life, and you will not only wait until you die. Freedom can be achieved at the moment without reversal, and immediate entry must be guaranteed.According to Nagarjuna’s judgment, our eight common ancestors, Nagarjuna, judged that it is easy to follow the Pure Land Method, and it is difficult to follow the Pure Land Method.This easy way is sure to enter immediately, and you can prove it without turning back at the moment. It is the same as Master Shandao's teaching, and Master Shandao's teachings are all taught by teachers.

How did the three hearts originate?How can I get the fruit position of the top grade?It’s not difficult, then the key to believing in Buddhism is to truly believe in true wishes. This is what we have to work hard on. I don’t want to say yes. I want to believe. Then it’s fine to say that, if you don’t do anything, then it won’t work! not real.Faith requires us to keep growing every day. Through renunciation of evil and cultivating good, through precepts and chanting of Buddha, and through related teachings, we not only maintain our faith every day, but it also keeps growing.

Master Shandao taught us a lot in the "Four Tie Shu". It is very clear that the situation directly teaches us how to arouse true faith and aspiration. For the next conviction, Master Shandao has an explanation: "The two are deep in heart, and the one who speaks deeply is The heart of conviction is also. One decides to believe in oneself, and now it is sin, life and death, ordinary people; Kuangji has come and often does not flow, and there is no reason for leaving. The two decide to believe that Amitabha’s forty-eight wishes to take the life of the audience, undoubtedly worry-free, multiply He will surely die.” This paragraph is very important.There are many teachings taught by Master Shandao on how to be convinced in the Four Posts. We just cite a few paragraphs. This paragraph is very important and very direct.He uses different angles to grow our body and mind and inspire our confidence. He said: First of all, we must be able to believe that we are sinful, life and death, and that we are always in reincarnation and have never had the opportunity to leave. This is very cruel. Reality, the truth.

Master Shandao taught us to see clearly, to truly admit, to see clearly and no longer be self-righteous.I don’t think I am capable of enlightening and attaining fruit, my own karma is not that heavy... Actually, many people think so, arrogant.So this is a big obstacle. If you have those thoughts, you won't be able to develop true faith in the Buddha.So we must see this truth clearly. We have indeed been in reincarnation since the immeasurable calamity. Until now... until now, we have to say "If you want to know the fruit of the next life, the author of this life is."

Let’s take a look at the karma that we have created in this life. They are all three-coating karma, or if you can reincarnate in the next life and reincarnate, it seems that you should not be that bad when you recite Buddha, right?Give you your body again, you still have karma, you still have five desires and six kinds of things, so there is no cause for renunciation, and in the next life, you still have no cause for renunciation, and every day, this is indeed the truth. .

(XNUMX) Know the truth about this fact

Master Hui Yi is the great virtue of our law school’s strict patriarch. In his last lecture, when he was in his sixties, he described himself as less than a year in practice in this life. He described himself as being inferior to a beast. …How could it be possible at the time? How could he be so bad? This description is too much, it is difficult to accept, it is difficult to understand, but then I gradually understand that he is not exaggerated at all, not at all. Minute.

It is because they have a pure heart, strict precepts, increased wisdom, and a clear understanding of the truth.It's not like we are confused and can't understand it. This is his skill. He can see the truth clearly only when he has learned a lot.He held the precepts to the rigorous level. He described himself as an Upasian and regarded himself as a layman. The state of his own practice and the state of keeping the precepts were at most. He said that he hadn't been able to hold the precepts to perfection yet, so he was How subtle, how subtle people observe.

This standard is very high and detailed. We ordinary people think that they are good or good. None of us are good people at all. Not only are they unkind but also sinful. It is a fact that life and death are very sinful ordinary people.It is generally difficult to understand. Master Shandao teaches us to often visualize and experience this aspect.Every day you feel that you feel more and more that you are really evil, which means that your Dao Karma is growing, your wisdom is enlightening, see clearly, and stop living in a daze, because this is the truth.

If we see the truth, of course wisdom will open up. Then when we really realize that we really don’t have the opportunity to leave, is it easier for us to rely on the Buddha? So the two decided to believe that Amitabha’s forty-eight wishes to enlighten people, no doubt No worries, take advantage of his willingness to be sure to die.At this time, you have no way to go and no choice. Whether you believe it or not, you are willing to believe it. The weakest trust at first is the reluctant belief.

(XNUMX) Experience the solemn beauty of the world of bliss, and pray for rebirth in the world of bliss

Like the first time I heard, the old monk introduced the "Blessed Life Sutra" so beautiful, Elysium does not need to cook rice or stir-fry when eating. If you think about it, you don’t need to wash the dishes.I hate washing dishes the most, so I was very happy when I heard this, and then described the Paradise of Elysium as being well-dressed, thinking of food, and wishing to achieve what I wanted, how could I think about it?The more I think about it, the more ridiculous, such a perfect place, the description of fairy tales is not so good.

When we were young, we liked to read fairy tales-Grimm's fairy tales, what Snow White, Prince Charming, he described it as beautiful! Some descriptions of Elysium are beyond our imagination, we can't even think of it, we can't even dream of it.But at that time, why did I immediately ask for the birth of bliss? You said that it is impossible to enter the world immediately. The roots of goodness are not so deep, but I asked myself to believe in it, because I must go to this place. It is so beautiful that it is a fake. We have no loss, why not?You might as well believe it, this is called strong letter.

At first I reluctantly believed in myself, because this world is too bitter, too dirty and evil. As long as there are other opportunities, we will not let go, not to mention that there is such a good opportunity to be worth a try. This is called strong belief.We must ask ourselves to believe, not to be so suspicious. The first reaction to what others tell you is...really?Then the more you think about it, the more you doubt it, even if people treat you well and really want to help us, they think it is very bad, what do you have in mind, how do you do, this will save the gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain.Ordinary people, greed, anger, and ignorance, are followed by suspicion, arrogance and suspicion are very serious, and this habit is very serious.Therefore, we have to force ourselves to believe. At first, we reluctantly believe, and in the end you will really feel that there is indeed no second way to go besides relying on the Buddha.

(XNUMX) A buddhist who recognizes that his situation is like Erhe Baidao

Master Shandao also talked about the "Erhe Baidao" metaphor in the Four Tie Shushu, which is about this kind of situation, with this mentality, he advised us to be like Erhe Baidao reciting the Buddha, to realize that there is no way back behind us. And chasing soldiers, kinsmen and creditors have been coming, then the Buddha Shakya tells us this method, you only need to go west, there is Amitabha in front, although this white road, two rivers, white roads are two rivers, water and fire represent greed, anger, ignorance, and the middle one is very narrow. Bai Dao represents a little bit of good roots reluctantly believe.In this situation, I think about it anyway. I am embarrassed on all sides, and the kinsmen and creditors from behind are coming step by step. Even if I have to stand still and don't leave, I will definitely die immediately.Even if we don’t listen to the Lord telling us the way ahead, the way to liberation, even if we don’t want to listen or believe it, it’s a dead end for you to stay.If there is no way to go anyway, just rush, when this determination is made, the letter and wish are sent, then when you start to move forward, you will have a sense of friendship with Amitabha.

At that time, there were all kinds of things in the heart...because of receiving the blessing of Buddha, you can taste the realm of faith, joy and forbearance.So no matter how weak our faith, faith and wishes are, we must force ourselves, we must tell ourselves that we really have nowhere to go, and we must initiate faith and wishes.When we decide to initiate a vow, the heart will be able to receive the blessings of the Buddha power, and then our faith and vow will naturally grow during the meditation, and you will realize that there is really a true belief and aspiration, then it is in line with the top grade. Conditions of ascension.

(XNUMX) Feel attentively to make yourself feel ashamed

"Next is to decide to be convinced that the Buddhas in the ten directions of the Ganges in the Amitabha Sutra are persuading all ordinary people to decide to live." This is another way to teach us to be convinced.The fellow practitioners of the Amitabha Sutra are very familiar. All the Buddhas in the six directions and the ten directions are persuading us to show us a long tongue to prove to us that the pure land method of the teachings of the Buddha Shakya and us is absolutely correct. We only have to If you want to do so, you will surely die.

Everyone is familiar with it, but if you really believe it, not to mention that a Buddha of the World-Honored One gave us a testimony to us. All the Buddhas in the ten directions have come to prove it, but we still don't believe it.Seeing the level of our sins, it is really unbelief. Think about whether you believe in yourself and whether you put these Buddhas in your eyes.Nothing!If you just say something from the old king next door, you will retreat. If you really believe in it, you won’t retreat. You won’t be shaken by someone telling you about it.

This is a fact. We don't believe it, so we don't even believe what the Buddha said. What's more, I'm a little mage, so I didn't say anything. I'm just quoting scriptures and exhorting each other.We don’t believe the Buddha’s words, so we dare not, nor dared to make a wish to save sentient beings. How can we save sentient beings, sentient beings are not so good, greed, anger, ignorance, suspicion and firmness. The Buddhas in the ten directions persuaded him for a long time, and the old monk lectured. For more than fifty years, have you believed in it after so long?There are a few true beliefs. It's not because people said it badly, but because our karma is too heavy.

So are we sinful life and death ordinary people?Yes, this is true.When we experience it, we will be very serious, and we will feel ashamed and dare not be arrogant anymore.Your arrogance is completely subdued right now, and you have to feel it with your heart to make yourself feel ashamed, face the reality to see the truth, we don’t even believe in the words of the Buddha, you see how there is no good root, then how to rebirth, we must Good roots and virtues are born in the other country by fate.

(XNUMX) Relying entirely on the merit

It is said that there are no conditions and there are conditions. This condition is not based on our strength, and that there are no conditions because we do not rely on our strength, merit, and power.All the prerequisites are that you must have good roots and virtues. Karma is that you have to encounter this method. If you can't meet how you will die, of course there are conditions.If you have this condition, then how do you believe when you encounter it, you have good roots and are deep enough to believe, you have to be able to smoothly and profitably, and unswervingly adhere to this method, then you are a blessed person.The greatest blessing is to have money and leisure. You can recite the Buddha from morning to night all day long. Now someone is guarding you, then you can’t recite the Buddha in the room and let you recite in it. You can’t recite, and there is no blessing. Others If you serve you, you won't be able to enjoy that blessing, so you must have good roots and virtues.

Therefore, in our method, it is very simple to say that it is difficult to say that it is difficult to say that it is very difficult to say that it is simple to say that if we have accumulated the good roots of immeasurable calamity, then the karma of this life is mature and we will meet again. It is very simple. There are really no conditions.The difficulty is the difficulty. If we are not deep enough, then it is useless to talk to you for a lifetime, and persuasion every day is useless. The difficulty is the difficulty here, don't believe it!It’s hard to believe in the law. I have studied at the Institute of Buddhism. The people I am close to are all the professors and classmates of the Education Bureau who have registered and affirmed this institute.They don't believe it! Many of the Pure Land methods are despised. Oh, this is called... in terms of Buddhism, Shizhi Piancong.

People who are truly wise have good roots, and we, the roots and roots of the stupid people, can respond to this method. People who are truly wise to a certain level don't believe this method and understand it.Know the goods, understand, and have the ability to recognize that this is a gemstone, not a glass bead. Don’t think that this method is really hard to believe. The more knowledgeable people are, the less likely it is to believe. Very heavy.

Therefore, the accomplishment of this method depends entirely on good roots and merits, so that you can receive the blessings of the Buddha.I will draw you directly from kindergarten to a PhD in graduate school and let you graduate. This is completely dependent on the power of Buddha. So we really have to believe in the Buddha. We must understand the relationship between us and the Buddha. The Buddha’s compassionate power will increase our confidence. , Thanksgiving, relying on the heart.

(XNUMX) Always remember to get closer to Amitabha 

What is refuge in the Buddha, refuge in the law, refuge in the monk?Many people have undergone rituals, but have not truly converted. Those who have truly converted will never fall into the three evil ways. You only have received the three refuges. Don’t rely on Amitabha. You just converted to the Three Jewels. The result is that you can never fall. Three evil ways, why?With your inner reliance, you truly believe in the Three Jewels in your heart, and you are willing to rely on him. You know that the Three Jewels have power, then it will be produced. If you really have the power you can receive, you will not fall into the evil way.You don't need to do anything, and you don't need to repair. You just rely on the Three Treasures as the faith and the reward is so extraordinary.

But many people didn't really take refuge, it was just a ritual, that was useless, so this refuge is a great knowledge.The object of our Pure Land Method to take refuge is Amitabha, the forty-eight vows.You must work hard every day to increase your faith in this area, and you must continue to get closer to Amitabha. The more you realize the Buddha, his wisdom and his compassion, the more grateful you will be, and you will... The more there is a sense of dependence, happiness, and relief.Faxi and confidence are constantly rising in all aspects, and your aspirations will become stronger and stronger. You will be very close to Amitabha, and you want to go quickly, yes!Just like wanting to see a lover, I don’t want to wait for a moment, I don’t want to wait, right?The Patriarch’s Great Virtue urged us painstakingly, some people regard Amitabha Buddha as a lover, as a parent, or as a good friend. You can visualize it yourself. Wouldn’t it be very sensitive to you?

If we don’t think about Amitabha every day, we will not feel Amitabha when we recite Amitabha. We don’t know that he is a living saint.The relationship between Him and us is so real. If you don’t feel it, then you will be very intimacy and strange. If this is the case, even if you have read the true Amitabha for a lifetime to pick you up, you still feel that you are not familiar with Him, so embarrassed to sit. Doesn’t it feel strange on Lotus?

So how do we cultivate? First of all, we must always remember to get closer to Amitabha. This is an expression of sincerity.Do you have the sincerity to practice this method, have the sincerity to be willing to regenerate the bliss world, may you not get closer to the leader of the bliss world? This sincerity must be manifested in behavior, true faith and eagerness must be manifested in behavior, in addition to breaking evil, practicing good, holding In addition to precepts and chanting of Buddha, what is more important is that we should always get into his heart with Amitabha.It’s really amazing when we get into the Buddha’s mind. Our current realm is very high, and this method has a magical coincidence; when we give XNUMX% of our body and mind to Amitabha, relying on him, completely When we take refuge in Him, our current ego is broken.

This is called cultivating without cultivating. This theory is very wonderful, and this way is so wonderful that I am gone without knowing it. To melt myself into the sea of ​​wish of Amitabha Buddha is the fastest way to break the ego.That realm immediately improved, and I didn’t feel that I was practicing. This is Amitabha’s wish and skill. He has a way to make us a Buddha quickly in our lives, because we already have Buddha nature, but when the obstacle is removed, the Buddha nature will appear.Therefore, Buddha Amitabha is really the most skillful teacher. We can achieve it quickly as long as we are obedient. This is not very mysterious and superstition. He really teaches us to manifest our own Buddha nature and allows us to gain infinite merits.

(XNUMX) The most important thing is to start with deep heart

And in the end we will also understand that we and Amitabha are indifferent, one, and one in the first place.This director is very deep, so this three-hearted, the most important thing for us to start is deep-hearted.That is to say, we must find a way to be convinced that the more you believe in the Buddha, the stronger your desire to be born. This is a very critical direction.So Master Shandao gave us many methods in this respect, and on the other hand, we can start from here.

We have to constantly visualize that this world is really bitter. If you can think that you don’t want to stay for a moment, then you can guarantee your death, and you can always encourage yourself every day.Seeing that the person next to you is so kind to you, you have to think like that...Oh, this innocent creditor is here to drag me, don't confuse him, don't be fooled by his good times; then visualize this again The suffering and happiness in the world are false and changeable, and suffering is real.

Then it’s best to write down the will as soon as possible, and take care of some things that you may worry about, and make sure you are ready to die at any time.This aspiration, this aspiration, is the effort we have to make. Starting from these two aspects is the most direct, and we continue to increase our confidence from the Buddha's side, because we rely on him and the Buddha's power.Therefore, the growth of our confidence must be achieved through the understanding of the Buddha.So what about the willingness to regenerate? Help us to let go of our current situation as soon as possible. The two complement each other.Complementing each other, this is what the ancestor said: The practice of "passing through the wisdom of the Buddha, and the way is wonderful." There is a deep truth in it.But, fortunately, we don’t need to understand so much, we just have to do it. If we all understand this principle, then the beard will be white if you learn it...not to mention that you don’t understand the old Bodhisattva for a lifetime, so you really don’t need to understand the truth, just obey.

It is also praised in the Buddhist scriptures that the chanting of the Buddha is a fantali among people. Avalokitesvara has the power to be his victorious friend, and he should sit in the dojo and give birth to Buddhists.Seeing that we don’t understand anything, the Blessed One praised us as a fantarian among people. As long as we are willing to be obedient, we really do, we really want to chant the Buddha honestly, whenever we have time.That wish to regenerate, although it was not very real and weak at the beginning, but I always wanted to grow it every day. Such a person is now the Blessed One who admires the Fentoriva among people.We have twenty-five great Bodhisattvas like Guanyin Bodhisattva who guard us day and night, day and night.They don't need to sleep anymore. Very much, we are the Fentoriva among the people. He takes care of me in every possible way. Where is he willing to rest and leave for a moment, and protect us well until we pass away smoothly.It depends on how honorable our status is and how great our rewards are, so we don’t have to say... Oh, we have to clarify the truth. If we accept that we are such a person now, the rewards will come forward.

Well, the time is up, continue to study tomorrow.

Amitabha. . .
