(XNUMX) Sincerity is the key to the achievement of the Pure Land Method

Sincerity 
A deep indifference, true faith and willingness are revealed from it;
Without being disturbed by all circumstances, the natural virtues are naturally rounded.

This poem is too!It is the beginning to talk about the main scope of our Pure Land Method. The first two poems lay the foundation for us to seek the Dharma.The first praise of the teacher and the second salute, the content of these two verses!It is the foundation that must be laid for all sects and sects, that is, the correct attitude. As a disciple, you must be respectful and able to be able to teach the teacher; the teacher's teachings must be able to be truly followed.

So the people now!These foundations are generally lacking, including monks and nuns, male and female laymen, and even more!We generally don’t have people who study Buddhism. At school, students don’t know how to be respectful to teachers and children at home to their parents!This is a common phenomenon, so in the first two verses we emphasized that this foundation must be achieved, and it will take at least two or three years to put it into practice.

So what's next!No matter what discipline you are majoring in, there is a way to truly have a starting point, so especially our Pure Land Method. This subtitle is sincere and the key to the achievement of Pure Land Method. Respect for the Three Jewels and even the teacher is particularly important. , Because this method is entirely dependent on the blessings of the Amitabha Buddha. If there is no respect for the teacher and the heart is false, the letter and vows sent must be false, then there is no way to respond to the Buddha’s aspiration, that is to say What to say!No matter how you study, there is no way to achieve it.

So how do we learn the Pure Land Method?In fact, in this verse, as long as we truly achieve it, the Pure Land Method can achieve the goal of rebirth in this life, and even we can confirm our confidence in rebirth in this life. In this life, we will surely be able to be reborn in the world of bliss. Become a Buddha, so our chanting!These ten recitations have indeed covered all the core points of the Dharma practice, so the third recitation is aimed at the conditions for the achievement of the Pure Land Dharma.

A deep indulgence, true faith and aspirations are revealed from it, how can we be sure that our faith and aspirations are true?Old practitioners all know that the condition for the achievement of the Pure Land does not lie in your study, not the condition of precept, concentration and wisdom, but in faith and willingness, especially in faith and vow. Master Huiyi said, whether or not to die depends on faith in aspirations. Yes or not, so as long as the condition of faith and wish is established, we can die, but the key is whether our faith and wish are true. If it is false, then of course we cannot die.

(XNUMX) A deep faith that can prove the bliss of survival

So how to make sure that the letter is true?As far as we said in the first sentence, the key is to have a deep and indifferent mind.Is it possible for a person who has true faith and desire to ask for a world of bliss with one heart and one mind? Is it possible for a person like this to practice miscellaneous practice again?Is it possible to practice the Ksitigarbha method again?Repair the pharmacist method?Is it okay to take a walk to the east and take a look at hell?There should be no time!At least you have to die first!After being born into the world of bliss first, we will be able to clone into the ten directions, full of supernatural powers and wisdom equivalent to Amitabha Buddha, and arrive at the ten directions in an instant.

Therefore, normally speaking, an ordinary man of sin and karma who has not yet been saved and is sinking into the sea of ​​suffering, once he truly feels the suffering in this world really gives rise to people who are disgusted and demanding to live in the bliss, then his mind should be wholeheartedly concerned about the bliss in the west. The world is all concerned about the Pure Land Method. Every day I only think about practicing according to the Pure Land Method. The condition of faith and willingness continues to deepen. Therefore, a deep and undifferentiated mind can prove that your faith and desire are true. If you can’t do it, Then I'm afraid don't be too happy too early.

Ordinary!I like to deceive myself and others unconsciously, thinking that this kind of disgust is true. Everyone can say that I must die in my life. It is easy to say, often!I was also deceived by myself without knowing it, so relying on this word is not allowed to rely on deeds. We have to see if our behavior has changed. Once we initiate a wish, the idea of ​​surviving Buddha and even words, we send this After wishing, has our body and mind changed?Has our daily behavior changed?This is the most accurate.Even if the letter you sent is not true, in principle you know that the world is suffering, anyway, if everyone around you wants to live, let's go together!Make a vow together, but the renunciation of this letter and vow does not come from the heart, even if it is so, as long as your behavior is truly taught, you will definitely die if you go deep into it.

The patriarch said that it is better to be a deacon to abolish the principles than to abolish the principles. In terms of things, we have to follow the conditions of the pure land method to achieve a deep, true belief and a willingness to recite the Buddha, then we must be able to respond to the Buddha's wishes in this life and die. It is inevitable that Mon Amitabha is willing to be led by force to be able to die, so it is!The faith in the rebirth can be established right now. This can be assured. As long as our body and behavior correspond to the Buddha's aspiration, the inevitable confidence in the rebirth will naturally arise in our heart, and we will be liberated right now!You didn't live in Elysium before you passed away, and you can taste that taste now.

(XNUMX) The life of a person with a true Taoist heart will change drastically

What does it mean to be unable to live, life is very stressful, and being dragged away by work, many people have such helpless voices!In fact, let's compare the great virtues of Patriarch, what kind of person is really like a Dao-minded person?Look at Lay Pang Yun. Lay Pang Yun is enlightened. The great virtues of the Zen family are all enlightened. His wife, son, and daughter are all enlightened. What does it look like?All the family properties are thrown into the sea, and even the money for the next month’s meal is not saved. Is there anyone who can’t make it through as a cultivator?No.How do they live their lives?Straw shoes.Eat one or two meals!Life is easy.

Some practitioners are the same now. They live in the mountains for several years without going down the mountain. No one will starve to death. But if our hearts are really greedy for the world, then you will always be chasing your own thoughts. The things you need, the food, the food, the food and the sleep, are always inseparable from the five roots of hell, so it is obvious that the stronger your Dao Mind, the natural your Dao Mind you will transform your environment, and you will make a big difference. Each adjustment of the amplitude changes.

On the contrary!Some people have been cultivating for decades. In XNUMX to XNUMX years, there is a person in front of us. It is only now in XNUMX to XNUMX years that we have only started to stop eating for lunch. We have an audience at the scene. In fact, the change is also great!It's not easy. It's only an instant when you think that fate is really going to change, but when fate hasn't arrived!This old man has been studying for XNUMX to XNUMX years and he is still sinking into the world!

It is reasonable to say that such good roots should have become a monk a long time ago, and there has been this cause but you have missed it. Then once you have missed it, once you return to the world, you will inevitably be easily trapped by some worldly things, and it will become more and more stumbling. The deeper you stumble, the less liberated you will be, unless you have a stronger cultivating fate to pull you back, so it will always be like this and always float up and down in this world of bitterness!Once it sinks and flickers, it means that there has been no change in decades. It is polite to say that there is no change!In fact, it is becoming more and more degenerate, because our blessings will be more and more damaged, and our karma will become heavier and heavier. This is an inevitable trend.

So!Especially in terms of the Pure Land Method, ask yourself whether you can achieve it, and learn other methods to see if you have changed, and whether our time and our spirit are really used in the Fa. If you have the intention, no matter how difficult it is, you will go. Exclude, for example, what should I do if I have a wife?Of course you can't say that you will get a divorce right away, that won't work!Someone will protest!It doesn’t conform to the compassionate spirit of our Buddhism, but you will definitely find a way and work hard to find a way to transform this situation, such as establishing a Buddhist family, otherwise you will cry and beg and beg him to let you go. If there is a way, what should children do?Send them all to be novices and novices. This is also a very good way. There is always a way to look at your personal fate!

It must be changed anyway!Otherwise, if you say your heart, no one will believe it if you say a wish. Can you believe it yourself?Probably it is very reluctant, but people!Ordinary!It's easy to deceive yourself, so where do we look?The achievement of this Pure Land Method depends on whether you can specialize in a deep-rooted mindlessness. If you even practice the method as a miscellaneous practice, then you don't have to talk about faith and wish at all!You may still be interested in other methods, so the goal of your study is uncertain, uncertain, or even!You are still sinking into the five desires of this world!

(XNUMX) Those who truly believe in eager to survive can stand the test of realm

So let’s talk about "not being disturbed by all circumstances, and all virtues of oneself will be naturally rounded" and not disturbed by all circumstances. When our faith arises, we have already gone deep, but can you really be smooth and not mixed? Uninterrupted until the rebirth of the Western Pure Land, there will be many tests in the process, which will test you... Some people say oh!I make a wish, I have faith in it!Then I started to follow the special training, but it is also very likely to be superficial, and I still deceive myself and others in the same way.

It looks like he also specializes in pure land. In fact, whether he really believes in the Taoist mind, and whether he really believes it or not. It seems that he specializes in pure land. In fact, it is because he is too lazy to practice other methods so he does not know how to do miscellaneous practices. In fact, he even does pure land They are not really specializing, on the surface they just follow the Buddha and follow the meditation, if they are such a person!When the realm comes to the test, it will immediately turn back.

So some people say alas!You have received the blessing of Fuli!Belief will give rise to the rebirth. People who have established confidence will never turn back. This is true and will never turn back.But why do some people seem to specialize and send a letter of wish, why would they retreat?It's because that specialization is also false, and of course the faith is also false, so the realm was tested as soon as it came. It was not because the realm was not strong enough to test it before.

So go one step further later!Explain that to be able to not be disturbed by the total realm of the realm, people will tell you that this method is actually just a convenient method, there is no blissful world at all, everything that is transfigured is transfigured, and from the perspective of the empty door, it tells you that all aspects are false. Don't be persistent, wow!It's so eloquent!Don't talk about such a big idea, but the old Wang next door is a little familiar with you, he is very good with you, he will not lie to you, wow!Now he is afraid that you will die sooner and he will be unaccompanied, so he desperately grabs you and prevents you from running. Everyone has selfish intentions, and even his wife and wife in the family need you, so he will hold you no matter how he died. what!Do everything possible to make you turn back.

Any cause and condition that make you retreat is the cause and condition of obstacles. If it is ugly, it is a devil, so devil!Let's not think so terrible, as if it looks like a horrible ghost, no, as long as it is an obstacle to our cultivation, it is a devil.

(XNUMX) Face different methods with a respectful attitude

Therefore, Master Shandao especially used a lot of space in the Buddhist scriptures to remind us that even if the Great Bodhisattva comes to persuade us not to practice this method, it will not be affected. You said that the Great Bodhisattva is already in a very high realm. Why can't he believe it?Of course you can't believe it, because the Great Bodhisattva is not yet complete.

For example, the ancestors of other sects have their own practices. The ancestors of each sect have different methods of practice. And he hasn't reached the realm of Buddha. Of course, he has some insufficiency in his practice. Then we too. It can’t be said that he explained it wrong, because some patriarchs can use that method to cultivate and go back, but we can’t, we can’t achieve it.

So if you believe in his patriarch’s method of cultivating the Pure Land from the standpoint of his ancestor, it’s very difficult, or he even thinks that he doesn’t believe it. Some methods... For example, they may have some genres nowadays. With special emphasis on their practice, then their practice may feel as if it is in conflict with our Pure Land, so there are some sects who do not agree with the Pure Land method, so they are also great virtues!Good knowledge also contributes quite a bit in their own field. The words of these people are also very powerful. The Master of Good Dao reminds us that even such a great Bodhisattva will not be affected by persuasion.why?Because he is not a Buddha.

The Pure Land Method is the realm of the Buddha. The realm of the Buddha’s fruit ground is given to us to cultivate the cause, and the fruit ground is used as the cause. At the same time, this realm can only be understood by the Buddha, and the Bodhisattva still has no way to fully understand it. , So they still have to recite the Buddha's dedication, and wait for enlightenment Bodhisattva to follow this method to study like us, relying on faith to recite the Buddha to live in the world of bliss!There are many things in this sutra... Manjushri also survives, Nagarjuna Bodhisattva also survives, not to mention Guanyin Bodhisattva, the messenger of Amitabha.Samantabhadra is also surviving!They are all waiting for enlightenment Bodhisattvas to believe and wish to recite the Buddha as we do, and rely on the Buddha’s loving power. Only by relying on the Buddha’s aspiration can we rebirth to the blissful world. To persuade us not to practice this method. Can you believe it?You can't believe it.

but!Master Shandao also reminded us not to slander or antagonize, just tell them that what you say is very good, and the law you say is also very good. I am also very admired and respectful, but it!I have my karma, I have my root nature, this method is more suitable for me to cultivate, so we are grateful, but we!You don’t follow, but you have to be respectful and grateful, because there is no opposition in the first place. If there is opposition in the Fa, then this mentality does not correspond to the Tao.

It’s just because the roots of sentient beings are different, so the Blessed One has performed a variety of different methods. These are just medicines to be prescribed for different symptoms of different roots of sentient beings. There is no absolute right or wrong, good or bad, and there is no level at all. It is also convenient to say, so the Dharma is Consummation, and we can't have a good or bad attitude, or even criticize this mentality. Then we respectfully admire and admire all the methods respectfully.

However, we still have to insist that our Fa is the best. For us, the Fa that suits us is the best and the most complete. To have such firm confidence starts with our initiation of faith and wishes, and then truly achieves a deepening of our body. This kind of mental behavior can keep facing various realms without being disturbed, so at the end of life, you will inevitably die, and after you die, the Buddha's self-nature and all virtues will be naturally rounded, and there is no need to cultivate one by one for a long time!Becoming a Buddha as soon as you die, it is so incredible as soon as you become a Buddha.

(XNUMX) The foundation of practice starts from keeping the precepts

So this part of the poem is the key to the achievement of the Pure Land Method, the core teaching method.Master Shandao also told us: "Blessed bliss, non-doing, Nirvana, and miscellaneous goodness may be difficult to reproduce. Therefore, the Tathagata chooses the methods and teaches Amitabha to rehabilitate." If this is not done, I am afraid that it will be difficult to live, our verse. You can't specialize in what you said.I'm afraid of miscellaneous, I'm afraid that you can't go deep, because of what?This is the realm of bliss and inaction and Nirvana!The Buddha's fruit land realm!How can you be able to sense if you don't specialize?

By relying XNUMX% on the body and mind of Amitabha's aspiration through specialization, this kind of sincerity can be sensed, empathized... Sincerity and empathy, the achievement of this method is nothing else, it just depends on whether you can empathize, and is empathetic with the Buddha's aspiration. .Then only with sincerity can you show sincerity, and only with sincerity can you understand it. So this is the most important and no other conditions are needed. If you do this verse, you will surely die.

This verse is about the practice of our Pure Land Method. The next fourth is the commandments. I put the major of this Pure Land in the third because ah!This world is impermanent!I don’t know when we will die, so we have to pave our way first, first build up our faith in the rebirth, and then what will we do after it is established?It's not nothing to do!Haven't died yet!Then we must start from the basics and learn from the basics.

"The five precepts, ten virtues and rituals are required for walking, staying, sitting, and lying down. Always repent and stay in the world and accumulate good fortune and virtue."

Then the Pure Land Scriptures tell us that if we recite the Buddha’s conditions for rebirth, we only need to believe and do, and we don’t need to practice any kung fu at all. The precepts are not among the conditions for rebirth. Why should we learn this chant?Why do you still need to learn these commandments?That’s because if a person is truly disgusted with this world, then he must do the Dao with one heart and one mind. You will no longer want to chase the five desires and six dusts, so you will inevitably focus on the Fa, and you must start from the basics. .

If you have all the causes and conditions, you can recite the Buddha all day long, then all the good dhammas and precepts are perfect. When you recite the Buddha, your body, mouth, and mind are absolutely the purest and most complete at the moment, but usually we can’t do two or six in our lives. We always recite Buddhism constantly, so we must start from the precepts to learn and uphold. This is also an inevitable phenomenon, the body, mouth and mind of a person who has received the blessing of the Buddha in his heart!It must be more and more responsive to Tao. This is a natural and inevitable response.

Well, because ordinary people have very heavy karma, even though some people are really reborn immediately, after receiving the blessings of the Buddha, the whole person's body and mind will be transformed like a prodigal son looking back!There are also people who suddenly become good people, but most people have not changed so much, so we have to start learning from the precepts in an orderly manner. Then this is also the foundation of our disciples' discipline. After the attitude of the Fa, we will begin to practice next.

The practice must start with the precepts, precepts, concentration, and wisdom. The practice of "faith, willingness and action" in the Pure Land Method does not hinder precept, concentration and wisdom. There must be precept, concentration and wisdom in the practice of faith and willingness. Don’t think that we don’t need precepts when we recite the Buddha There is no need to cultivate and pay attention to the wisdom of Prajna. No, it just means that we don’t rely on it to die. Although we don’t rely on it, we still have to learn and hold. This is the only way for a Buddha who truly believes in surviving. Personally.

(XNUMX) It is not difficult to establish correct concepts and methods

Especially monks!The five precepts and ten virtues and the "Novice Laws" are the most basic. As a disciple, you must be able to observe this basic precept, and furthermore, the precepts of bhikkhus and bhikshuni precepts are getting higher and higher!If this basic part cannot be done, then of course a monk!You can't fulfill your duties.

So it's the same for the lay people. The basic precepts for the lay people are the five precepts. We have talked a lot about the five precepts!I often advise fellow practitioners to devote themselves to observing the five precepts. After you ask to receive the five precepts, you must learn and keep the precepts. So asking to receive the precepts is the beginning.Practicing the ten good karma, even the family members of the "Novice Laws" can start to learn.

One of the main reasons is that it is still inconvenient for family members not to touch money. We can work on food and drink. Recently, about twenty days ago, we encountered a blessing of great kind knowledge, lawyer Guo Qing. So because he has formally obeyed him and learned the law from Monk Qing, that was more than twenty days ago!When meeting his old man!He is also very concerned about my learning situation, especially in terms of commandments, because of myself!I have also held the precept of not eating after lunch before, and monks from novices... novice monks and novices must follow the ten precepts in the "Novice Laws".

Well, because of the great pressure of studying the scriptures in the past, there was a pressure ulcer, stomach ulcer... After that, I didn’t take this precept anymore. Now, many people are also inconvenient due to various factors. Many people have predispositions and many monks. I can’t stop eating for lunch. It’s been a few years. It’s a convenience. Just eat some oatmeal in the evening to avoid hyperacidity. I have tried it several times because of hyperacidity. I don’t even want to eat again for lunch. The method was successful, because I had tasted the benefits of holding this precept before, and I wanted to hold it very much, but because of the karma of the physical body, I couldn’t help it. I tried several times without success.It was only when Guo Qing met attorney that he broke through this obstacle.

It turns out that our knowledge is wrong, we thought we were suffering from this bloating!If a person with a bad stomach has no food and no food, the stomach acid will secrete too much!When the time is up, it secretes stomach acid as usual, then your stomach didn’t give him something to digest it. Naturally, we will have an illusion that we are about to have a stomachache, and then the stomach will swell. At this time, it will be very nervous, and our knowledge thinks That's right, this fasting state will definitely cause stomach pain, and it will cause stomach pain, so I am very nervous. I quickly surrendered after a little abdominal distension, and I eat a little oatmeal, so every time I fail.

(XNUMX) Initiate a wish that everyone can hold the lunch smoothly

Then I thought at the time that it was all right!The lawyer asked us not to listen. I thought about it in my heart. Then I decided to start holding it. I was really ready to take the stomach medicine and take it with me every day, but it was incredible. When our wish was given, I tried it before. Many times, as long as I haven’t eaten it for a day or two, I feel bloated and then I really feel a little pain, but this time I didn’t even have it after I made my wish. There was also a little bloating for the first two or three days, but there is a way we can drink non-timely milk. , We can drink juice without fiber or honey with water, even rice and porridge!

You can cook the rice that hasn’t been broken, and the very clear water that hasn’t been broken. But it can’t be cooked until it is thick. The rice must be broken before it is thick. No, the rice has not broken. The soup can be cooked at a time, but this is really troublesome. I haven’t eaten this yet. I just drink a little molasses occasionally, and even some fruit juice can be drunk, but the mashed fruit juice is not acceptable. Yo!If there is fiber, you can deliberately beat it to very fine and very fine. Milk and soy milk will have powder after drying. Is it a food?No food, let’s not eat after lunch!You can only drink non-periodical pulp that is completely free of scum. It's ok like a drink.

In fact, my stomach medicine was also prepared, and then I also prepared non-periodical milk, but I found it easy. After only two or three days, I didn’t need to prepare these things at all. I didn’t even take any medicine. I have never taken one of the stomach medicine, and I did not expect it to be so smooth. The lawyer asked me to hold it. After that, I will still have medicine stones for the evening. I didn’t touch it that day. I started to hold it on the same day. When I felt a little uncomfortable, I didn’t have stomach pain, and I immediately drank a little non-periodical milk for the abdominal distension, and it was fine, and it went through smoothly.

So this time, a few days before coming to Indonesia, our itinerary was scheduled for XNUMX days this time. There are Buddha one in Singapore and Indonesia. Before coming here, there were some familiar lay guardians in Singapore. They used to I didn't even dare to think about not eating at lunch, and I had thought about wanting to take this precept, or even some people!He hasn't even eaten vegan, but it's weird!This time, when I mentioned it, they immediately made their minds on the same day and it went smoothly. It has been more than a week when I came to Malaysia. Every one of them held it well. As long as you have this wish, you can do it too. It went well.

(XNUMX) Practicing at home should also start with no food at noon in the law of novices

Of course, I also provided some methods, such as not eating after lunch!Generally, we are in the monastery. If you do not leave the house at home, try to use it up before twelve o’clock and brush your teeth. If there is stuff between the teeth, this is considered a break, so that it really ends. Zhai, try not to open fate, but if you go out...just like when I go out, open fate, time to open fate, otherwise it will not be easy to succeed.

This precept is not easy for you to succeed. Why?You will be very inconvenient. We have to take care of the Mahayana bodhisattva precepts so as not to annoy sentient beings. Some people can’t understand. If you want to eat all you can eat before twelve o’clock, then you have to open a restaurant and order food at half past ten!right?Or if you have to prepare food early in the morning to cook for you, then these will cause a lot of inconvenience, and even some people just wow!It’s so miserable that it’s too late, because some people are slower to serve food, wow!If you don't dare to eat it after the time has passed, then if you don't eat it today, you will eat it tomorrow, and you will not eat it the day after tomorrow, to ensure that your stomach must have problems.

I used to have stomachaches related to this. When I used to hold it, sometimes I had to worry about it at night because of my younger generation!It’s a kind intention to make friends with us!The results of it!I just ate Kaiyuan and ate it. Sometimes I didn’t eat it. I really felt a little uncomfortable with this stomach. It aggravated the degree of ulcers. So we should try not to Kaiyuan for stability. When you go out, you can open up the fate in time. Why do we understand the origin of the ring-making process? This is how I did it. Then I will give you a reference. Of course, try not to open up this fate, but I think it is very difficult, especially It's a layperson. If you really want to keep this precept, you may have to encounter this problem.

We need to know the origin of this precept. This precept is to reduce our appetite. If your appetite is lessened, it will help to do the Tao. Other wealth, body, name, food, sleep will naturally be reduced, and many benefits will give you Good health.Even after we made a vow this time, I still heard some related messages. It turns out!Not eating for lunch will not cause stomach problems!Stomach discomfort, not only can’t, but it can also treat stomach problems. This is a completely different concept from before. It’s just the opposite. It’s the reason many of us don’t dare to eat lunch and don’t eat after lunch. I’m afraid of gastrointestinal problems. Well, this concept is completely opposite.

Moreover!Some people say that the nutrition is not enough, what should I do?This concept is not right. We actually have enough food for one meal a day. We still eat two meals a day. If you take the precept of not eating after lunch, there is absolutely no problem with nutrition. It is not enough because we have a habit of eating. , We have many delusions, so we feel that we don’t have enough nutrition and consume this energy very quickly. In fact, it’s entirely a matter of mind.

So today we have to realize that your body will be healthier if you really don’t eat after lunch. Why?Your intestines and stomach have more time to rest, then its function will become more and more strengthened. After strengthening, although you don't eat much food, its absorption capacity is good, right?Then once your stomach and intestines are strengthened, because our body is a small universe!Every organ has its own healing power!Once your gastrointestinal health is healthy, your other organs will be better. This is a theory that doctors can understand. For every organ, as long as one organ is bad, other organs will also be affected. If one organ is healthy, other organs in other places will be affected. It will also be affected by the good. The whole body will become healthier and healthier because you take the precept of not eating after lunch. Therefore, for health and spiritual practice, we should take this precept, whether we are a monk or at home. , This is really starting to practice.

In fact, the five precepts are nothing to start practicing, the five precepts are just the basics of life!Confucianism talks about benevolence, righteousness, reason, wisdom, and faith!The five precepts of killing, stealing, licentiousness, delusion, and drinkingIf you do, you are just a normal good person!It's not really a practice!The real practice starts from the standard of not eating the "Novice Ritual" after lunch, so the family members should also take care of it.

Our disciple rules!It is for the four disciples, including the lay disciples, to also learn the "Novice Laws", and follow them as much as possible according to their own abilities. If you are willing to hold the precept of not touching money, it would be great!But it's difficult, because you don't have to hold this precept to live as a layman. Many monks now have to open fate too!There is no way, because of the environment.

Therefore, this place must be studied, and it must be required to take the precepts. Whether or not the confidence in the rebirth is established, you must learn the part of the discipline you have to practice.and then!These rituals!The five precepts and ten virtues, rituals, walking, standing, sitting and lying are all required to practice. It is not to practice at the dojo. You must form a habit at any time. The precepts are not to restrain us, but to help us adjust a good life and rest and even mentality. The precepts are to help us get rid of greed. Annoyance, ignorance, get rid of some bad habits of the five desires and six dusts, and develop good habits, so when you get used to it, you will feel that it is only more comfortable and free for you, without any sense of restraint.

It's like I held it for more than XNUMX days!Oops!Very happy, now I think I can work a lot of time and save a meal in the evening!Then when we worship the Buddha, we usually worship the Buddha. When we worship the Buddha, we feel that our stomachs are particularly light. Before!You have something to eat at night, even though you don’t eat much, you still feel like you have something!There is still something in the belly, so the feeling of worshipping is still a bit heavy, so it is!Just as you work hard, you will feel special joy and peace, so you can take care of this part.

(XNUMX) How to overcome physiological factors

Then there is one more thing to pay attention to, that is, you will inevitably think about food in the first few days, especially when you smell the fragrance later in the evening, and then your stomach growls again. At this time, it is easy to "frozen Wei Tiao" and easy to fail. , I want to eat it first, and then start holding it after two days, so there is a way, when there is a thought and the appetite arises, hurry up and change your thoughts, and don't keep thinking about the deliciousness of the food. This is very important!

I used to not eat at night before!Sometimes, if there is no problem with my stomach, and I didn’t even eat cereal or even simple medicine stones, then I was busy doing things. As a result, I didn’t sleep for more than sleep time that day. I didn’t sleep when the time came. I was hungry when it was too late and I didn’t sleep. It's so powerful. At that time, I suddenly thought of something that I usually like to eat, wow!At that time, I would really "freeze Wei Tiao", and I would think about it!Eat!It doesn't happen occasionally anyway, I haven't violated the precepts either!I didn't say not to eat it either!right?It's just occasional when it doesn't matter!Can you eat?Yes, I ran to eat.

But what about this situation?Occasionally!Once every few months!I really haven't slept for more than the time, usually why?There is no bondage of willingness and no bondage of precepts!If you feel that it has little effect, then you think of that delicious thing again!The saliva keeps flowing down, so you will eat it all out of ten. Eating a meal and having a midnight snack is actually bad for your health, but it has an impact, but it is occasionally anyway!That’s how you do it, not to mention that you are usually used to eating dinner and even eating midnight snacks every day, so when your thoughts begin in your life, stop as soon as possible. This is something we can control and we can control.

Because we have already made a vow, we must hold on to it. If you continue to think about making yourself very painful, and your saliva will flow more and more, so hurry up and change your mind.I don't think it is difficult!Then after you hold it, you will find some people!He doesn't have any restrictions of this kind of commandment!He not only eats dinner, but also often has afternoon tea, right?Drink coffee!Have a biscuit and bread!Afternoon tea, dinner, and sometimes late night snacks, three meals!In addition to two meals in the morning, one meal at noon and one meal in the morning, there is really nothing wrong with "holding five". Five meals a day is also called holding five meals.It just happens to be five, so you can eat five meals a day for your expenses all the year round!And the rest of your stomach!Although you fell asleep at twelve o'clock, you fell asleep, your stomach is still working!How can it be better if you don't rest day and night? 
Really need gastrointestinal health!It must be held at noon to reduce its workload, and then!After you finish eating at noon, you can save the afternoon dinner and midnight snack. How much can you save in a month?There are too many benefits, is it difficult to do it?It’s not difficult. We just said that it’s just a wish. You can get used to that habit in about three to five days a week. We are also experimenting in the past few days!This layman has never really held this precept, but they do it naturally!

Because every one of us doesn’t eat, and you don’t have anything to eat, that’s the atmosphere. Of course, you may have a little difficulty at home, so you have to arrange your homework. If you have dinner, you should do your homework as soon as possible. Don’t let yourself be free. Arrange yourself and you will find that you finally have more time!Hurry up and use it!Of course you won't wait there and keep thinking whether I want to eat it or not.Want to eat?Don't eat?Want to eat?Don't eat?Have been struggling over there, no need.After you make up your mind, you have to tell yourself that you can do it. In fact, it is not difficult to do it. You have to tell yourself that you must hold onto it.

(XNUMX) Try to keep your heart and precepts to perfection

Regardless of whether we take the five precepts, or any of the precepts, we must make the effort to truly take them. We can’t take any form. If the five precepts are not taken well, we will go to hell. Then what do you say?No one can do nothing. There is no one who can hold it purely. So there are ways. We try to hold it to Consummation. When it really doesn’t work, you can give up the vow as soon as you are about to commit it, and give up to one person.

For example, when two people fall in love at first sight, they are about to have an affair. At this time, you think of our ordained person!Of course you can’t have an affair!If you really have an affair, don't you want to commit adultery!You may have lost your wives, "Dazhi is really big", so this vow must be kept well.But sometimes when a husband and wife in the past have agreed to continue their relationship in the next life, what do you do?What should I do if the wronged creditor ran into?If you don’t have the five precepts, you’re sure to commit a crime eight out of ten, so now the divorce rate is so high!There are still a few children outside, and there is no blessing of the precepts. If you have received the precepts, then the situation is different. It is very likely that you will keep it. Why?It's not wrong that you can give up first, but it is!You have to be to one person; to one person.

Because we can’t guarantee that we won’t break the precept, right?Then you really can’t accept that you have to give up the vow to someone first, and say that I have to give up this vow first, if you give up first, you won’t do it, if you commit this thing, but at least you did not break the vow. You won’t fall into hell. It’s very simple you just tell someone I’ll give up first, and you can ask for it again in the future. It doesn’t matter countless times. If you don’t give up the vow, you just do the wrong thing, then you break the vow. One more vow to go to hell, then you who ask for vows will know this rule!You must know that if you want to break the precept, you must give up first.

Then another one!We ask that there are twenty-five guardians of the five precepts, and he will bless you in the dark to transform your mind power so that you don’t really do evil, don’t break the precepts, which are all blessings, plus This rule is very clear. You must give up before you commit a crime, then you can avoid this relapse.

For example, sometimes it seems unreasonable for two people to fall in love with your object. We seem to be not very good with this person, but it is!His friend saw her like Xi Tzu, and her lover saw Xi Tzu, and some factors just happened to be no one, wow!The lighting is very romantic, and then the past karma and so on are all ready, it's really hard not to make mistakes at this time.

Then if you have taken the precepts, you may really break the precepts. At this time, at least you who have taken the precepts, you will think that you have to give up first!Otherwise, you are going to hell, that's for sure, then what do you do if you leave it alone with no one?You have to give up to your partner, and you say sorry. Wait for me. I will give up the precept of non-prostitution first. In this way, I believe that after you finish this process, the other party may also regain reason.

That impulse just now!Sometimes making mistakes is just a momentary impulse, so does this form also help you calm down, right?Sometimes after you give up, you probably don't have much interest in either of them, and you regain your senses.Because it is indeed this lewd affair!It will cause great sequelae. Killing, stealing, lewdness, delusion, and alcohol are serious crimes. According to the standard of the Hinayana method, there is no way to repent. You can't do it casually, so ordinary people!Who dares to say that he has never committed killing, stealing, adultery, or arrogance?It's hard!

(XNUMX) Those who receive the blessing of Buddha will learn more intensively

What a lie!Unknowingly, you have played liars several times throughout the day. It is impossible not to do it in a day, and you are used to it; the habit becomes natural, and naturally you have not noticed it.It's okay if you say that you don't have an affair. As long as you don't have an affair, the layman will not commit it. But if you are inspired by the Mahayana standard, you will be a little bit more interested in that idea!Seeing that the beauty is in good shape!All of these are considered offenses. He is only divided into seriousness and seriousness. There are also various seriousness and settlement standards for his crimes. If you want to do it, do it, and if you do it halfway and complete it, you have all the points. There is a difference between the severity and the severity, so there is no way to be truly pure.

Master Hongyi's strict precepts all felt that he did not follow the precepts very well, and he often repented, let alone ordinary people, so we should have repentance every day, often repent and reform, and then we must recite the Buddha to seek death and run away, otherwise Rely on your own words!It is definitely difficult to obtain a human body in the next life, because it is very good for you to hold the five precepts, so in other words, you must fall!

So in the present, we must do our best to do the five precepts and ten virtues as much as possible to avoid in case we don’t die. Fortunately, we have access to the Pure Land Method. If we don’t learn the Pure Land Method, we really have to do it all out of ten. Depraved.Plus you don’t ask for the five precepts anymore!Create as little karma as possible, then you are sure that you have fallen deeper than anyone else. It may be difficult to tell if you go directly to hell or from the path of hungry ghosts to the path of beasts. Nine out of ten fate is like this.

Say it, Lord!The next life will be able to get a human portrait claws on the soil!It's like touching a little bit of soil on the inside of your finger, so you can't get as much dust and sand on your body as the earth!Then let's look at the five or six billion people in our world. Don't look so far. Are we qualified to be humans among the people around us?Maybe we are all worse than others, and karma is heavier than others, right?There may not be us in the proportion of such a rare person who can gain a human body, and we do not have our share, so this is at least a good practice of the five precepts!This can save the human body and avoid falling. Then, you have to use a heart of repentance, always repent of your past karma, and then try to accumulate blessings and virtues and nourish your virtues.

This poem!If you don’t have the position of a person who recites the Buddha, if you do not do your best to do better, then you have not received the blessings of the Buddha power. You will definitely...Although we chant the Buddha do not emphasize the precepts or even break the precepts and ten evils. When you die, you should be more precise in your behavior than those who have not studied Buddhism, and even better than those of other denominations who have learned morality, concentration and wisdom!It is normal to surpass them far, so that your faith and wishes are true.

Then you really have received the blessings of the Buddha power, interact with the Buddha power, and the Buddha, and get the power of this blessing, so you can judge our realm in behavior, and where we are going to be in the next life, you can't comfort yourself!It is a delusion to think that I must be able to do what I must do, and that is not allowed!Not insured!So even if we have done the third verse and established the confidence in the rebirth, then we must start to learn the precepts steadily.

(XNUMX) The attitude that a disciple should have is to follow the teachings from the true heart

Next we look at the fifth recitation, and the fifth recitation is taught.

"The teachings taught by the teacher need to be received from the true heart, let go of my perception and slow clinging, and the nectar of the water can get in."

Here's a step further!In emphasizing the attitude of learning as a disciple, this part is not only aimed at Buddhist practitioners. You must follow the standards discussed here when you practice any method, especially the Pure Land method, which is completely dependent on the power of the Buddha. Any teachings taught by the teacher must be received in the true heart, and cannot be the slightest falsehood with the teacher.

Nowadays, people are used to being false, so they often deal with the teacher. They said it carefully... but I didn’t do it. It was not intentional. In contrast, I really respect the teacher, but although you feel very respectful. , But in fact, is there any enlightenment to inspire this kind of religious practice from the true heart, and really do it XNUMX% steadily?That's hard to say.

It's hard to say, why?Because you have my view, my slowness, and my clinging, you must let go of my view and slow clinging. If you don’t let go, you can’t really follow the teachings from your heart. You may retain a little bit of the teachings taught by the teacher. After listening to this, I agree with it, so it is acceptable. The other part may not be understood or I don’t agree with it. Then you just set it aside, right?You still retain your own understanding of your own practice, and you don't really receive the teacher's teachings XNUMX% of the heart. This is a very common phenomenon.

Especially those old cultivators who I see, I am slow, and who look particularly good are easier, especially it is more difficult for us male laymen to learn the Fa from us than Kuni, male laymen; the men themselves!This kind of slowness will be relatively stronger than women, especially old Xiu, and men; women are relatively weak in the eyes of men. This is a kind of subconscious mind. !So if your teacher is female, then you have to overcome this in particular. We need to be able to let go. Only when we are soft and respectful can we arise, and we can truly put ourselves in the position of disciples. , You can truly receive the nectar of water before you can get in!You can receive the Dharma taught by the teacher in your true heart, and this water of Dharma can enter your heart.

The previous sentence "Let go of my seeing and slow clinging" is your obstacle. You must let go of the karma first, otherwise!There is no way for nectar water to enter your heart.

(XNUMX) How sincere to the teacher can get a bit of teaching

Do you know that your heart is false?I know; I must know, if I don’t know there is no way to be a good example, I must know.So he will teach you how much you are sincere. It’s like this. We are a kind of natural induction. If you are XNUMX% obedient, then you can get XNUMX% teaching. The teacher will plan everything for you. This method is to be taught to you. You just passed it on from your disciple!Don't pass it to you to whom?I'm afraid that you can't accept it. If you think of a set of teachings or even misinterpret them, you can absorb some of them and then merge some weird things into it. It will be very troublesome if you even misinterpret the meaning of the teachings.

Well, if you say that your heart is not true enough, of course it is only reserved, and you can get a little of this benefit, but the teacher will have reservations when teaching the Fa. This is inevitable.So the key to being able to be taught is whether you can receive this sentence from your heart and from your true heart. This is the condition for our pure land method to be both high-grade and high-grade, and even the middle-grade and low-grade are also given consideration to this condition.

Master Shandao mentioned it in the three sutras of the "Guanjing" and the Shangpin "shangsheng" in the "Guan Jing Si Tie Shu", he explained; he was explaining this "Guan Jing Shu" he was talking about this part of the explanation Three hearts, one is the most sincere, the most is true, the sincere is the truth, we know that the rebirth of the top grade is the most sincere, deep-hearted, and wishful heart!He explained that the most sincere is the most sincere and sincere is the truth.You just want to be real.

"If you want to understand all sentient beings' body, mouth, mind, and karma, they must be true to their hearts. They must not show virtuous and diligent appearances, or embed falsehoods inside." You see, many people seem to be very diligent!Also observe the precepts and recite Buddhism, appear virtuous and diligent on the outside, it seems to have cultivated very well, but what about the heart!Is there a lot of falsehood inside?a lot of.

Ordinary!His essence is greed, hatred, and delusion, so it is very difficult for you to tell him not to be false, and he himself is not intentional, so this poem is very important, it seems to be nothing, the problem is that you can’t do it, you didn’t do what we must We have to work hard here, let our hearts, this false heart become more and more watery, don’t play scheming, many people are playing scheming when getting along with others, and even this habit will also be used with your teachers. You think you are smart. Maybe the teacher might not be able to figure out what you are doing, maybe you have a better one. Therefore, there are often false elements in the process of teacher-student interaction. Then there is no way for such a situation. Can truly achieve a complete Dao Karma.

Usually people around me are unlikely to have this situation, why?If it had been long ago, bye bye!So what about us!The criterion for assessing students is not based on your fundamental advantages or disadvantages, but on whether you really want to study the Fa, then you can say that I am an ordinary person, it is impossible to be true, but it depends on whether you want to study the Fa with your sincerity, if you have the intention You will correct them, and you will immediately try to correct the mistakes that the teacher told you. Then you will make progress. You will become less hypocritical and straightforward. Don’t feel wronged, don’t play scheming. It's a waste of your time. No matter how skillful you are, the so-called skillful teacher can see clearly like a kindergarten in the player's house, and it is yourself that suffers in the end.

If the teacher can be deceived by you!Then don't let this kind of teacher, you can't learn things!The realm of a teacher is not what we can imagine. We tend to look down upon people. This is a very easy problem. You won’t suffer if you look at a person too high!right?Respect him is that every statue is a Buddha. You will never suffer. Whether he is a Buddha or not. Knowledge is his cause and effect. If we think about it this way, there is nothing wrong. We must protect our respect. We are sincere and straightforward to get close to the Three Jewels, otherwise the true water of Dharma will not enter your heart. Only in this way can you be truly taught. This is our subtitle.

So these few poems!We seem to be very ordinary, and we also write very vernacular. In fact, if you look carefully, there is no one that you can do, no one can do it, really... So our book "Guide to Follow the Teacher and Follow the Buddhist Disciple "The object is for Bhikkhus, Bhikshuni, Upasai, Upayi everyone to improve together and learn together. You will not be able to achieve Consummation until you become a Buddha until you are enlightened in this book. You can achieve this standard according to our Buddhist disciples. Achieve Consummation, because you can see from the back, the realm requirements behind us are getting higher and higher!We will be able to obtain the Fa after we have done all the previous things.

(XNUMX) Understand the standard of obtaining the Fa by understanding the mind of the teacher 

The sixth verse is to recite the Fa. This is the standard for teaching the Fa.
"The teaching of the Falai Sang is received by the teacher, knowing that the heart of the teacher is the initiation, and the will of the teacher is his own will, and the Dharma can be passed through through the veins."

This is the standard for teaching the Fa. Nowadays, people are learning the Fa with a master. It is difficult to learn the Fa with a master. Usually they have a good relationship. They know many masters and many monasteries. They seem to be very diligent in studying here and there. In fact, this They didn't really start studying the Fa at all. 


To truly start studying the Fa, you must have a teacher and a teacher, at least if you need it at every stage of your life, but in fact, we also talked about it in the morning. In terms of studying the Fa and Buddhism, it’s best to be able to go deep into the Fa and cultivate to the end, not like the world. Fa, you need elementary school teachers, middle school teachers, and university teachers. It’s not like that. The concept is completely different. 


So the real practice starts with you relying on a teacher to specialize, and then what is the completion of cultivation?What is Dharma?To understand the heart of the teacher, it is not that you think you have learned it, you have learned it, oh I have used it. For example, in our Pure Land Method, I have faith in rebirth, I understand the truth, and I really feel the Buddha blessed me. Now, I saw the Buddha and so on, these things don’t count. 


Because of the law!Fa Lai Monk Biography!Received by the teacher, the Dharma is passed on to you by the master, then you have to understand the heart of the master, the realm of the master, and use this as your initiation, just like the Zen Buddhism who is smiling at the flower Kassapa. You don’t need to talk about anything. You have to understand. Master’s heart and understanding of Master’s realm will truly have a relationship with the teaching of the Fa, and you will obtain the Fa. 

What happens after obtaining the Fa?What about being a disciple?Take the ambition of the teacher as one's own ambition, so!It’s true that the Dharma veins pass through and the Dharma can be transmitted, and there is a real one who teaches the Dharma; a master who teaches the Fa and a consummation. This is the way to achieve this.

With the ambition of the teacher, for example, if we specialize in the Pure Land, then follow the Master to study, and in the future, you will dedicate yourself to promote the Pure Land Method. Of course, in addition to special causes and conditions, there may be a special cause and condition in any situation. Generally speaking, you should learn from the Master. Of course, this method has a door to door. If you have other causes and conditions in this life, it’s hard to say. You can also develop it. Generally speaking, you inherit the method passed down from Master and pass it on from generation to generation.

Zen Buddhism is the same!How many generations have we Chinese Zen?Passed down from generation to generation.But what are we focusing on now?It's because I understand my teacher's heart!Not a ceremony passed to you, oh!How many generations are you now!This is meaningless, so here is the standard for obtaining the Fa, a disciple; as a disciple, to what extent does he have to study the Fa with his teacher?To understand that the heart of the teacher needs to be recognized by the master, and then to continue the Fa taught by the master, this is the duty that a disciple should do.

Otherwise, the master has worked so hard to teach you the Fa, and after it is passed on, you will be a monk and you will be vulgar, or you will retreat from your family, or you will learn from other sects. Of course, if you can do the same. It's okay to benefit sentient beings, but it does!This must be a very special situation. Normally, it should be passed down to Master's Fa!right?This method must be inherited!Otherwise, what does he teach his disciples to do?right?Then, as a disciple, this duty can achieve Consummation.

(XNUMX) The Three Jewels protect all beings and non-all beings protect the Three Jewels

Our teacher has a great kindness to us, especially the monks. He allows you to be able to help you ordination, and then even achieve your ordination, so that you formally become one of the Three Jewels. The blessings of the Three Jewels are very great. Don’t everyone. It is wrong to think that the monks have no money, and some cultivators do not look very good, and they need the support of a layman to live on. In fact, they are all wrong. How can the Three Treasures' blessings be worse than that of sentient beings?

Because the blessings of sentient beings are too few, the Buddha asked the Three Jewels to allow sentient beings to plant blessed fields, and then use this cause and condition to cultivate the cause and condition to teach him the Dharma so that he can open up wisdom, so that he can continue to grow good roots. On the surface, it seems that the family is very poor and cannot survive. The monastery must rely on laymen to provide for and support in order to operate. No, this is a skillful way of attracting sentient beings. 
If you don’t have the Three Treasures for you to cultivate the cause, and for you to grow blessings, you will not be able to continuously improve. How can the monks have no money?No money for monks!But you don’t have to worry all your life!There is so much money! The monasteries in which all beings in the ten directions follow the law are all shared by monks, and every monk is qualified to receive it. The property of the ten monasteries in the ten directions is shared, and there is no private ownership, so there is no such thing as ownership. The question is not important. The important thing is that you have the right to use it, and you have the right to use it. In other words, you can't finish eating or staying, the whole world!All beings from all directions!You lay people have to work hard to make money to have food and housing, we don't need it.

Then you say it seems to be supported by the layman; no, this seems to be for the layman to support and cultivate the blessing; let you cultivate the blessing, in fact!We use them all; maybe some people still can’t believe it. This scripture also says that Buddha Shakyamuni originally had a life span of XNUMX years, but he died at the age of XNUMX years earlier, and the life span of XNUMX years is his blessing. The report is left to the Buddha disciples who will practice in the XNUMX years of his Dharma movement in the future, including the laypeople. If you are willing to practice, you live in a monastery, you have food and housing, and you don't need to pay tuition for practice!All are free, the Shifang is in the dojo and does not talk about trading. The practitioner is really the guardian of the Three Treasures!In fact, the Three Jewels are protecting all beings!It’s not that sentient beings are protecting the Three Jewels, you have to figure it out!

(XNUMX) The Three Treasures are boundless and boundless in virtue to all beings

So some people alas!If I support you, you have to listen to me, and then how many things I have done is completely upside-down. Having no money does not mean that there is no good fortune!No need to bring it!The kind of people who really don't have much money will put all their possessions on them, right?There are a lot of Ding Ding Dong Dong, and necklace diamonds are "vulgar and awkward" (extremely tacky), the really rich people!He doesn't care about those, and he doesn't use it at all, but when he wants to use it, it is really like this; it is really like this.

why?Because the blessings of the Three Treasures are shared and integral, how many do you think there are?Boundless and boundless!Then I am doing things for sentient beings. When I need to use them, my infinite and infinite three treasures can be used, and all are qualified to use them. As long as the causes and conditions are sufficient, you are truly virtuous and you call for it. Wow!Hundreds of millions of billions of dollars and talents have all appeared. If you want to build more solemn temples, how many things you have to do to achieve quickly, right?

You don’t need to take this blessing money out of your pocket. As long as you call, make a heart, and make a wish, your wish will be fulfilled immediately and the thing will be done. This is the original Three Jewels that have this blessing. The time will come right away. If you don’t have the blessing, then it’s useless to call for anything, right?The Three Treasures are boundless blessings, but you don’t have to show it off when you’re okay, you can’t use it!If we don't need it, we won't work on this, and give up as much as possible. When sentient beings need us, we give up as much as possible, and then we continue to cultivate the cause.

The blessings of the Three Treasures are boundless!What's more, we still have these foods left to us by Buddha Shakyamuni, and we can't use them all. Then we can't see it, it seems hard to believe. We as true disciples of the Buddha, we believe it, indeed we have not yet. Before the achievement, we all depended on the blessing of the teacher and the Three Jewels!Our TOEFL!Thanks to them!But once we have practiced ourselves, our blessings will become greater and greater as we have merits, and then our blessings and the Three Jewels will also be integrated, and the blessings of the Three Jewels are also our blessings.

Because monks in particular have no personal property in the first place, they are totally shared and shared equally, so once you have a predestined master, how great is the kindness of our monks and monks!right?How old is Ende?Give us the Dharmakaya and wisdom life and return us these boundless blessings, let us become a member of the Three Jewels!It also helps us inspire wisdom and give us the life of the Dharma body, so after we obtain the Dhamma, we should teach the Dharma and take the will of the teacher as our own aspiration!This is what you really have to do as a disciple. Don't learn a three-pointer or half a bucket of water and then run out and stand on your own, so that you can collect disciples everywhere as a teacher, so that your disciples will not do it.

(XNUMX) The four disciples, each in their own position, share the Tathagata family business

Okay now!It seems that the time is almost up, so let's study here first. 
Let’s talk about a recitation again. Let’s talk about a recitation, the seventh family karma, because the first to seventh chapters are a paragraph, so the eighth chapter starts with the realm and the realm of practice. So this part also belongs to the basic scope of the disciples rules.

"The family inheritance of the Tathagata is passed down by the four people. The monk, the public, the lay, and the protection of the two are intertwined.

What I just talked about was inheriting the teachings passed on to you by the teacher. For example, when we cultivate the Pure Land Method, we will teach the Pure Land Method, taking the aspirations of the teacher as our own aspiration. Here is a standpoint of Buddhism as a whole, especially the monks, so let’s talk about it here. When it comes to the family business of the Tathagata, the entire Dharma must be passed on by our disciples, and should not be cut off in our generation. Then we are really sorry for the teacher, and sorry for the blessings given to us by the Buddhas of the ten directions.

After we are free ourselves, we have to pass on the Fa, understand?Don’t let me go out of the Three Realms by myself. Okay, goodbye, I won’t come, then if you are like this; therefore, the arahant was reprimanded, and the arahant was freed by himself, but the duty of being a buddha disciple is not true. To achieve Consummation, so you must develop Bodhicitta!If you want to come back to save sentient beings by wishing, then you must inherit the family inheritance of the Tathagata. The family inheritance of the Tathagata is passed down by the four deities. The "monk, propaganda, vulgar, and protection of the two intersect each other" must cooperate. A disciple of the Buddha!All have an obligation, right?To cooperate and then to stand on their own feet.

Because we have seen a lot of phenomena!It is this part that has a problem, so we have to specifically mention it. At home, we must be responsible for the protection of the Dharma, and the monk is responsible for propagating the Dharma. This is the will of the Buddha and the Buddha assigned it.The Buddha's distribution must have his wisdom, why?The precepts of monks are relatively high. Don’t say that monks are not good at cultivating right now. I have cultivated better. I have been cultivating with my family for a long time. I am quite well-trained. Then I was worried when I saw monks could not do well. It sounds very nice, and I am worried that no one will spread the Dharma, okay!I'm here to get my heart out, and the layman in white clothes rises to the throne.

It’s not impossible to ascend to the throne in white clothes. As long as you have enough, you are truly virtuous and hold the bodhisattva vows, and it is stated in the "Precepts". There are certain standards. After the monks and elders give you affirmation, even you have a teacher. , Your master has affirmed to you that your morality and morality are to a certain degree, and they meet the standards of a lay bodhisattva, and then this side!The monks can’t take care of the sentient beings here. Of course, it’s very good to help the monks. They can promote the Dharma. But now many laymen do not necessarily meet this requirement. Many even fight against the monks and criticize the monks. Speaking ugly, rob believers.

Because if you are for your own personal gain, fame and fortune!Of course believers are important, right?Believers are the source of support!It becomes an oppositional situation, which is very serious. If you really want to promote the Dharma with your heart, then it’s good. We are pleased to ask you to become a monk and learn the precepts step by step for five years. Develop a monkhood and get rid of your secular habits.

Look at those, some people, the layman who promotes the Dharma, doesn't even hold the five precepts!Didn't even hold the Five Precepts!Why do you sit on the podium and preach the teachings of the Buddha; the pure teachings?This is called "defeating the Dhamma by the body." The ascension in white clothes is the decline of Buddhism during the Dharma end period. This is not what I said. This is mentioned in many scriptures. There will be this phenomenon in the Dharma end period. The ascension in white clothes can be seen everywhere Now, this is not a good thing for Buddhism.

Maybe these people are very motivated. They think they really can’t bear to see that the Fa-rectification is not spread by anyone. It seems that monks are doing it everywhere nowadays!There is not much to be able to promote the Dharma, so they can’t afford to take it. Many people have a good heart. The problem is that many of us don’t have enough wisdom and don’t do the right way.It seems to be very good, but what I did in the end!The more you do, the worse you are, you are not smart enough!Instead, they want to benefit sentient beings, but it hurts sentient beings. It's not difficult for us to see this kind of thing.

Just like what we just said, if you don't have all the causes and conditions of being able to possess the virtues, you have done more than you are supposed to do, then what becomes of it?The monks are cooking for them to support these white-clothed ascending thrones. There are many Dharma-Ending periods like this phenomenon, but we must also try our best to correct them, and try our best to learn and improve together.

second round

(XNUMX) The four disciples each perform their duties and achieve each other

Just like our bhikshuni and bhikkhus, there is no bhikkhu to preach the Dharma, so we can; the monks can preach the Dharma and benefit life, but if there is a bhikkhu, then the level of his teaching is close to ours, then we must protect the bhikkhu, or If we say that we may have our Dharma predestined, the monks don’t listen to what the Bhikkhus say, we have Dharma predestined, then we do our best to do our own duty to promote the Dharma, then we have the predestined to protect the Bhikkhu, this is Buddha's wish!

The sangha is still dominated by monks. We still hope that the monks can abbot the sangha more solemnly, what if not?Then we bhikkhus should also be motivated, so when real bhikkhus and bhikkhus do not have the spare energy to take care of sentient beings of this generation, the layman can, you receive the bodhisattva vows, really hold the vows, and really want to keep the vows, it is not just a form.This kind of person is bound to respect the Three Treasures, and it is impossible for him to snatch believers. You really have the ability to teach sentient beings. You are not really for gain. We all hope you will save more!There will be worried that you have too many believers, I hope you will spend more and better, everyone will divide the work and cooperate!

Believers will never finish their lives!Where are so many sentient beings sinking!Of course we are rejoicing!I hope everyone can take their heart. The question is, can you really achieve a satisfactory result?Or is it ruining the entire Dharma and turning it into a decay of Buddhism?Then you didn't do it yourself!You didn't do the work of protecting the law!right?No one is cooking!I'll be a monk to cook for you, right?You are not making money!The layman wants to make money!If you don't make money, you can't protect the Three Jewels, and you don't have time to do internal wealth and volunteer work. You haven't done the duty of a layman!Do you want to replace the monks!So this phenomenon is also quite a lot at present.

Of course, there is also a big layman like Li Bingnan, and we all respectfully admire it. Therefore, it is a principle. You really have to achieve a satisfactory result, which can really benefit all living beings and respect the Three Treasures. Then there is no problem. , What if it becomes an opposition to the monks?Then there is a problem.This phenomenon also seems to be very similar to the description in the scriptures in the period of the end of the Dharma. This phenomenon is also very common, so it is specifically mentioned here to correct it, and then! The four disciples should each perform their duties, and one is indispensable.

Because the monk Buddha explained that you can do the Dao with your whole heart and accomplish it earlier, and then concentrate on the Dharma giving, and also be able to observe the pure precepts. Don’t have money dealings with others. So everything you do is free and you are a volunteer. Don’t have it. Don't make money for income, let the layman; because the layman still has a small family, you can't let go of all the world's ties in the world for a while, so let the layman be responsible for the financial aspect. This is how each achieves each other, and each has its own responsibility.

The monks are also Dharma alms!He is also a volunteer!There is no private property, and there is no charge to others!This is how the Buddha formulated the duty of the lay people and the duty of the lay people.The duty of a monk is to concentrate on practicing, to practice the Tao diligently, to observe strict precepts, and then to teach sentient beings and be responsible for the Dharma giving. Then the lay members are responsible for all the operations of the dojo, and some internal and external guardians of the Dharma. The work, then this way is really able to achieve discipleship!The standards of a monk and lay disciple can achieve Consummation.

Okay, then we will study here today, thank you everyone, Amitabha.
