(XNUMX) Seek the Dharma with respect and humility 

Before we started this course, a lot of fellow practitioners signed up. Those who signed up were motivated by people who surfed the Internet. There are all kinds of people. Most of them came to see the fun and get together. Of course, there is also the intention to learn Buddhism in the course of cultivating, but the foundation of respect for the heart cannot be compared with the fellow practitioners in our dojo.

Therefore, among the fellow practitioners we signed up, we observed that even if there are some people who are better at their own qualities, they are more sensible, and even such people don’t really know how to be respectful, so this ministry It is true that we feel very serious, so today we are going to give you an in-depth explanation especially in this area.

For example, when we first signed up, there was a female layman from this mainland who could not be regarded as a real layman. They were about seventeen or eight years old. The so-called real layman, "living" means cultivating at home, and "skilled" is Scholars, that is, those who are already quite educated, learned, and practiced at home, are called lay scholars.Well, most of us think that the lay people are called laymen, but in fact, this is a condition that has no substance in polite words.

Then, this young kid came to sign up. I will give you this example to give you a taste of the current situation of young people. This little girl is studying in mainland China and she seems to have graduated from this university in Guangxi. It is a very good little girl. She is eloquent and her literary level is pretty good. She also has considerable contact with this Buddhism, and this can be regarded as both past life and Buddhism.

She had been close to the Tantric Guru, so she thought she was a Buddhist practitioner, and of course she surpassed the average person in the world in terms of good roots. Because she was probably in her early twenties, she knew how to get close to the Three Jewels. This is also very rare, but because From the very beginning, I came into contact with Tantric Buddhism. I didn't start learning from the basic precepts and rules, and I didn't establish a good attitude of respectfulness.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Respect the monk and treasure like the Buddha, don't be light 

The Tantric Buddhism actually pays great attention to respect to the teacher, so it is called the four treasures. What is the extra treasure?Guru.We should treat this master as a Buddha and treat it with respect as a living Buddha. This is a very important basis for helping disciples to truly gain in the Fa, but her so-called closeness to Tantric Buddhism actually does not have a real apprenticeship, no.Generally believers who have been in contact with this guru, then after a period of contact, of course, they have also learned some so-called tantric methods, mantras, and some teachings, etc., then they will mistakenly think that she is also an old practice, she Speaking of this teaching, it's really a point.

The little girl was actually very arrogant when she signed up. Then all the photos of Anita Mui posted on her news are her idol, and all of them are photos of the same person. Everyone can imagine this person. She’s personality, how dashing and self-willed, I don’t care what other people think of it. Generally speaking, there is an introduction to her own life dynamics or all kinds of content, so all of her dynamics are Only a photo of a person shows that this person's character is also quite unique, a maverick person.

Then when she came to sign up, she told me that it was because she saw the solemnity of my Dharma, and then she wanted to come close to Master as a simple idea, and then she did not come for the Dharma after getting close, because it turned out that she did not come for the Dharma. It is the master who is close to this tantric school and feels that he has some practice. In other words, he just came to make friends to make friends with me.

But because I teach on the Internet, I never make friends with people. In terms of my dynamics, although the nature of Facebook is generally to make friends, it is such a platform for interacting with friends and family members, but I From the very beginning, I set up the teaching of this wide-ranging class very quickly, so it is equivalent to the nature of the classroom.

Then, of course, if she wants to come close, she thinks she wants to sign up for our general discussion class. Then I accept it. Anyone can sign up. But after signing up, we have to go through a period of review and learn from our CD-ROM to write reports. Make sure that you are consistent with our goals in this law so that you will be admitted, and then you will enter this classroom where another club specializes.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Observing karma from the heart

So this kid, when she first came to sign up, her habits were very serious. Because she regarded me as a friend, she was not big or small, but her mouth was very sweet. When she came, she often praised Master: Oh, Master, you are so solemn. I like you the most!I’ve never seen a mages so solemn and can speak everything, and it makes you feel natural and sincere, because she feels like she can’t lie, and she doesn’t bother to lie. It’s cool. Little girl, she is also very eloquent, and her temper is a little willful and she doesn't give a lot of face.

Then we are on the Internet. Everyone knows this platform on the Internet. People around the world can see this Facebook platform. They can see it with chance. For such a handsome little girl who doesn’t block her mouth, just When she came, she seemed to behave very friendly and came to make love for admiration, but in fact the attitude was very disrespectful, she didn't know it, and she didn't understand many rules.

The words used in the speech, which she thinks are very handsome and very close, like treating you as a buddy, this kind of tone is nothing to her, because she thinks she wants to come to me to show that she likes me , She just wants to come, this has already given a lot of face, and now many young people are like this.Then some of our fellow practitioners, who have already signed up earlier, will kindly want to persuade her. Then these assistants will give you five or six sentences if they persuade her. At the end, no one dared to persuade her, because She is very eloquent and no one can tell her.

I don’t think I can do anything about a situation like this, so I must correct her immediately, otherwise this is a very bad example, so I am very strict in correcting her, and I will not spend too much time. In this regard, because if you really want to come and learn you must abide by the rules here, so I won't have many opportunities to give each other, at most once or twice. If she doesn't listen, I may ask her to leave.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Purifying body, mouth and mind is a virtue possessed by Buddhist disciples

Fortunately, this kid is very clever and has a good look. It is useless for the assistant to persuade her. As soon as the master speaks, he immediately: Yes!Yes!She will say this, so that you can't be angry at her at all and you will definitely forgive her, such a little girl, indeed we are from our club so far, and yesterday we said that there were XNUMX people who signed up, and we really accepted it for a few months. There are about twenty people. These people are from eighteen to sixties. Everyone has good roots, but everyone’s eloquence can’t be compared with her, because they are indeed very eloquent. There is also considerable skill in name and appearance.

But the problem is that her thoughts are unstable and do not have a central thought, which is the result of miscellaneous practice. She has learned a lot of names and appearances, but this little girl is still very hardworking, so her arrogance is also due to her. background.So in a situation like this, she would listen to the rules at the beginning and change quickly. When I corrected her, she immediately told her that all the Anita Mui idols on the dynamic side would be changed.

Because I know the current people very well, you have to teach them: you have to understand the rules, you have to learn the Buddha, and keep the precepts!These general words generally have no effect, because even if you want to learn, you don’t know how to do it. This is my experience, so I teach students now and I will tell her directly, you can do it wherever you need to do it, then if it is true If you are willing to learn, you will usually change it immediately. Then I directly ask her to use the dynamic idol, because you are a Buddhist disciple!We must pay attention to all aspects of this "body, speech, and mind" outside.

Then she will change it as soon as she talks about it, and all of it will be replaced by my teaching content, all!So you see this character is very cool!Then I replaced her headshot with my photo, and treated me as an idol. Moreover, this sharing of hers changed so much and surpassed the intentions of other practitioners, so these are all very good.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Respect must really arise from the heart

But then I decided to drop her out of school. Why?Because after we observe carefully, these things are actually obedience on the surface, obedience on the surface, and respect on the surface. Anyone with a little cleverness can do this, but we observe from the heart and from the bones. In your situation, this little girl is actually close to me, really like what she said at first, that is, seeing the Master is very happy.

After I came here, I studied with us for a period of time, and I thought it was good to the Pure Land Method, that is, it was good. Then I didn’t want to change the past tantric methods and the habits of miscellaneous cultivation. I didn’t want to change it. I didn’t think about it. To put it down, of course it is difficult for her to make such a request, because she did not come here to repair the Pure Land, she came only to come close to me.Because she wanted to get close to me, she also learned the teachings of the Pure Land Method for a while. She also felt that it was good. In the future, she still has to make a wish to survive in Paradise and become a Buddha. This is something she can also absorb.

The problem is that our people’s habit of karma is really incredible. According to the scriptures, the karma of sentient beings is incredible. Even if they are already in the situation, they are afraid of being forced to leave by me, and then in order to please me and to cherish this condition. , So she has done very well in all aspects, not inferior to other fellow practitioners, but I found that her personality is unstable. Many young people are like this, and they are uncertain.

Of course, what will appear in the uncertain state?I want to make a boyfriend, I want to eat, drink and have fun, and then I want to go to miscellaneous practice, especially the practice of secret practice in the past. In fact, that is not the practice of secret practice. The real practice of secret practice is very strict. You must do this four-plus practice first. , One hundred thousand prayers, one hundred thousand mantras, etc., are also practiced steadily.Cultivation is not a concept like ordinary people. It is said that as long as you have been close to the master to give you an indoctrination, you are the practice of tantra, not like this.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Shangen merit is a factor in the achievement of learning the Pure Land Method

That’s because of her background, although you can’t ask to let it go, but at least you have to have that heart. I later observed that she did not have this heart, and the most important thing was that her temperament was unstable, and her thoughts were also biased, because she pretended to have a lot of celebrities. It is difficult for us to correct some of her subjective opinions after the encounter. This kind of student is very difficult to teach, and she has a strong subjective consciousness.So she would often come to me to chat with me if there is nothing to do, chat with me on my message and talk about some of her ideas, some of her ideas about the Fa in the past, and then come to me to complain if there is nothing to do, and tell me about her when she is annoying. When she was happy, she came to share with me. She treated me as a friend and told me her situation. Tell me her views on the Fa, what tantra and what sect, then think about how much time it will take. .

And she just took my Fa I want to teach, she just took it lightly, in other words to deal with it!Follow everyone to read the post and click on it. If you don’t observe it in depth, you won’t be able to see this part, because on the surface she did a good job, and she didn’t mean it. She has absolutely no malice, but I’m here. I have observed that this student is not easy to teach, and there is a problem with knowledge and perception, and then I will say that the mind is uncertain. This is a course for our specialization. If the mind is uncertain, there will be no way to achieve it.

Then why are there habits of these phenomena? In addition to the habits of the past, the main reason is that she does not have respect and does not know how to respect. That is because she is a very persistent person with her own knowledge, so it is not good to teach. Teaching, usually I teach students and choose a little stricter. Just like the method mentioned in our Amitabha Sutra, the achievements of our Pure Land Method "cannot be born in the other country with less good roots, merit, and destiny." So if it is less good roots, It is difficult to teach people who have little merit.

Because we don’t have many esoteric theories, we are not using theories to attract sentient beings, but the good roots and merits of sentient beings. Then we will introduce this cause and condition to those who are predestined, so if it is to teach through some theoretical debates, then this is not The practice of our Pure Land Method is not a characteristic of our Pure Land Method teaching, and I personally feel that there is no need to spend time on sentient beings whose roots are not yet mature, but we must still plant this good cause for them on an equal footing, and make good destiny first.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Respect starts from observing the rules

So in the end, because this respectful heart was not enough, I decided to ask her to drop out of school, instead of letting her formally participate in the specialization, and enter the professional club classroom to study.So this is an example, because someone so smart like this has a good relationship with us and will not reject people from the Pure Land Method. Because they don’t know how to be respectful and are hard to teach themselves, we have to abandon such a one. student.

Then I dissuaded her, and I said: Do you want to think about taking part in the dynamics to learn more freely, and then she was very unconvinced at the beginning and immediately asked me why, so everyone can imagine if this personality is true for me Let her take our class, I really have half my life left soon. I have to explain to her why all day long, and explain to her that she is happy, otherwise, in case she is not happy, wait for the whole world to broadcast to me. It's very troublesome. You will know when you become a teacher.

We teach students to consider all aspects of the problem, because the troubles of sentient beings are endless, then we also avoid her to create karma, even if we have the ability to deal with it, but we must avoid others to create karma, and don't waste too much time and cause a lot of twists and turns. So she said, I also expected that she would tell me like this, she said: Why?Then I calmly told her, I said: Because you can't fully comply with my strict requirements, the rules are many and very strict.If she said that, she had nothing to say, so she accepted it.

After accepting it, usually people in our class who were persuaded to drop out or who felt that various causes and unable to continue the class will continue to stay in our dynamic part of the school, because the dynamic part is free and not received every week. There are five days to go online and all kinds of these regulations, but after she came to the dynamic self-study for a period of time, it has been several months now. During the period, she often came to quarrel with me about going home three times, just want to return to ours. The class comes to class, so this relationship can be considered very deep.

But during these three times, I also changed a few times, because we tried our best not to give up any sentient beings, and at the beginning we were very diligent in attracting her, hoping to change, because I was young, and then I also had a lot of diligence in Buddhism. We even hope that she can become a monk in the future to promote the Dharma and benefit her students. Of course, we will be very happy with such an object. We hope that she can achieve it. So when she came to arguing about going home these few times, we also had a little consideration, but then I Still insist.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Respect the teachers and accept the teachings and principles into the heart

The main reason for persistence is to consider the issue of respect. Therefore, if we do not have respect for studying the Fa, not only will we not be able to obtain the benefits of the Fa, but we will still waste time in the future. You see that many of our fellow practitioners are in Buddhism. Why is there no way to get the benefits of practice?There is no way to subdue troubles and turn on wisdom?It is because of the respectful heart that does not understand, so many people do not understand this part, it is not that they are unwilling to do it, so it is necessary for us to study and study in depth here.

Let’s give some concrete examples, let’s take a look. For example, once this kid was interacting with me, she would ask me to say, "Master, I think it’s good to talk about the Pure Land method, but because I’m very Busy, and what else do I usually do, so I hope you only need to teach me what I want to do, and that's it." With such a learning attitude, do you think it is respectful?

But she has absolutely no malice. She still feels that she is very close to Master, because Master looks very compassionate. She is not good at swearing, because she has not been scolded by me, and she has not really eaten incense board, because the fate is not deep enough in the initial stage. She will be more controlled when she starts, so she just asked me and asked me.I saw her message at the time. She was on my message, which was not publicly disclosed. I would reply to her immediately. But that time, I really gave her the incense board. The first time I rewarded her with the incense board, I just Tell her, I said: "It's not that you told me what I should teach you, but what I teach you, what you have to do, this is the respect for the teacher."

Many fellow practitioners did not think of how to respect the teacher, just like this example.Like many people, even though you didn’t directly ask the master to ask: You can teach me these things, and I don’t want those things, but do you think so in your hearts?Look at it for yourself, right?You will pick what I want to learn. I want to do these things in this dojo, and I don’t want to do those things. I am more interested in this part of the things taught by the master. That part is too difficult and boring. If it doesn't suit my appetite, what will happen to you?

Even if you don’t show this unacceptance, what did the master say in front of the master: Okay, yes, yes, knowing, but have you done it behind the scenes?Nothing!right?Although she is not as direct as this kid, she has not concealed herself, she is very naive and candid, but in fact eight out of ten are like her. Don't think you are respectful, right?Think about it for yourself, but you didn't notice it. You didn't think you were disrespectful.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong, Compassionately approved by Master Renjing)

(XNUMX) A sincere heart is a sincere heart that is selfless and seeks not to choose between likes and dislikes

You still feel like saying, "I have come to study the Fa with great intentions today. Look at the people outside, and he would not ask them to listen to the Fa. I already have good roots, and I will even use money to support Master. , I can also protect the dojo and sometimes do volunteer work. I’m already great. I am respectful and very mindful. This is not called respectfulness. No matter how much you do these things, it’s because you like what you want. Do it, not what you think you should do.

Everyone thinks that when we are giving, we will be attached to what we are giving, how many things we have done, how much credit we have, and how kind we are, but seldom look back: I am careful about whether there is something that should be The part to do-the duty.For example: when you go to the dojo to practice, the dojo does not collect money from you, and the master teaches you and does not collect money from you, does that mean that everyone will have his own duties, he has to be aware of it, he has to go Part of the initiative.But most people seldom think of this. They only think that they will only pay attention to the part that they have already paid, and then proudly admire themselves. In fact, these things you do, in the final analysis, you still want to do it yourself. Own selfishness.

It's like saying that a boy says he loves a girl, and this loves a girl. If you want to possess her, then is this love true?If you really love a girl, you will definitely do things that are beneficial to her. That's usually not it. Usually you see men and women being together... Why do they quarrel?Because what you want is unhappy when the other person is not satisfied, so what is this kind of love?It is your own lust, what you like is your own lust.It is not the object, so when the object becomes ugly and not the way you like it, you no longer like it, so this kind of like, this kind of love is fake.

Then the same thing you did in the dojo, doing volunteer work, offering the Three Jewels, etc., the part you did is actually just in a good mood, and then you think you can do it for others, or if it’s okay, I don’t ask for anything in return. Then I still have the Dao Xin, so I am willing to do this, and this level of standard is still determined according to my own preferences and joys.This is not yet respectful and sincere.True sincerity is to follow the teacher's standards, to be obedient, to have no intentions, and to follow the rules of the Three Treasures of Buddhism, not to do what you want to do.What you want to do as you want, no matter how much you do, you can’t be regarded as truly respectful. Do you understand that?

This is very difficult to understand and not very good. It is said that you should be able to experience it yourself, because it is difficult for ordinary people to detect, you will be in the picture, so the more you do, you will feel that you are very protective and respectful of the Three Jewels. Three Treasures, you support this mage so much, you support this dojo so much, so your respectful heart is enough, in fact, it's not necessarily true.This is all superficial. You do so much because you are happy now, and you were not happy that day, so you would not do it, right?

The true respect is what the teacher wants to do, what the dojo needs you to do, and even if you are not able to do it, you will do your best to ask yourself to do it. This is called respect.If this principle is used, it does not depend on whether you do more or less, but whether you do your best. For example, you donate more and donate less. This is not the point. The point is whether you do your best. Do the teachings that Master taught you, and be obedient!

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) True respect is true respect

Usually our teachers will tell us to start our practice with renunciation, giving away our internal and external wealth, and then letting go of our worries and so on.Then if you do it with all your heart and energy, this is true respect, obedient and obedient.Instead of saying that the teacher teaches you a concept, teaches you a commandment to tell you to do something, and then you didn’t listen to it right away, and you didn’t know how to talk about a lot of reasons to debate, like this little girl would definitely be able to In this way, when there are debates all day long, she will have her own ideas and there is no malice. She will bring them up because you are the teacher and you are the teacher. You should help me solve my doubts, so there will be a lot of endless A lot of problems are born, but to me, these are all spectacles.

Because the fundamental nature of learning the Pure Land Method is to be honest and obedient, and you can do what you teach you. This kind of students are those who are rooted and mature.If there is no way to do it, with this respectful heart--absolutely obedient, then it is difficult to go deep in the Pure Land Method.why?Because in the future, you now have a respectful heart with the teacher, then in the future you may have a respectful heart with Amitabha.You are a living person in front of you, and you can't generate respect and practice according to teachings. Where is the Buddha?He doesn't know if you are doing bad things now, will you really follow the teachings?Harder.

So why the status of the Tantric Guru surpasses the Buddha is because the Guru is the representative of the Buddha. He comes to contact you in a living person, directly teaches you, directly points out your shortcomings, and directly guides your teaching so that you can have a personal experience. A feeling, a feeling of practice, so the relative condition, the condition of practice surpasses the Buddha, because the Buddha is invisible and formless, and your knowledge of the Buddha is still a predestined condition, so this is the reason of the master. The role is particularly important in Tantra.

So this study is the most important thing. Like when we choose students, I personally choose students so strictly, because for our class, it is a guarantee class to guarantee Buddhahood!In order to achieve this goal, I have to screen strictly. Otherwise, I had to teach myself very hard when I was elected. I must have lost half of my life, as long as I met one.What's more, if we want to make sure that everyone can achieve smoothly, we must strictly check in this part. We can also use this example to reflect on it. If we want to encounter a truly good knowledge today, we have the intention Teach us the good knowledge that we want us to achieve. Should we have this attitude?It must be, otherwise you will never meet it.

So you see now, there are many masters and magic weapons in Buddhism, but can you really find a master who can really teach you?It’s difficult. Most of them are self-study. What the real master is like? Directly teach you to point out your habits and illnesses. They know you very well and know your personality very well. Therefore, unless he has his own understanding, a well-known mage is right. As far as you are concerned, no matter how good his practice is, no matter how famous he is, he will not be blessed, and you may misunderstand when you read the CD. Then this is not the best good knowledge for you. The real good knowledge is someone who understands you. , Even if you are predestined with him, if you are willing to listen to him, he is your good knowledge.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Respect starts from observing the teacher's words honestly

Do you have such a person?There are very few such people around us, and the people around us are not convinced by anyone, so now we are persuading each other, and even parents are afraid to persuade their children.There are many elders who persuade their children, what is the result?There is a lot of news about this example of being killed by their children. Nowadays, some young people are very scary.

There was an example in Taiwan not long ago, but Taiwan is really a beautiful treasure island. I will cite some examples that are not good, but they are actually a small number.There is a high school boy, because he was brought back to raise him since he was a child. Then he was brought up by his grandparents. He was behaved when he was a child. Then he went bad when he got to this high school. When he got bad, his grandfather would say a few words to him and skip class. Go to class and watch TV at home all day.

Grandpa often recites him a few times. Why is he always watching TV at home and not going to school, so he only recites him a few times. One night he killed Grandpa with a knife and hated him very much. The fruit knives were bent and stabbed two times in total. Fourteen dollars, the heart seems to have been dug out, and then in the middle of the night, grandpa was injured and ran away. He fled to grandma's room and called for help. He also threatened his grandma not to call the police, and then calmly said: Wait for me to wash some hot water. In the bath, I will call the police and surrender myself. Don’t think that he has already thought about surrendering in his conscience. He said that since I’m only 17 years old, how many years can you shut me down?With such thoughts, such cruel behavior, and after doing things to create a killing karma, he still feels that he is not ashamed or horrible. Anyway, after a few years, he will be fine. How terrible, then why is it so?It's just that Grandpa reads a few words from him!

Therefore, in our lives, we want to meet people who can really speak out and point out our faults. So if we want to practice, of course, we have realized that this world is very difficult and wants to stop evil and cultivate good thinking. If you want to improve your realm, you will be motivated to enter Buddhism. Then, since you are motivated to enter Buddhism, of course, you must first be able to feel good knowledge to teach. It is absolutely impossible to achieve blind practice by yourself, but you will take detours and go wrong. road.How to feel good knowledge is that what we just said must be respectful, so don’t underestimate this part, you don’t even know what you don’t know, so the time of Buddhism will soon pass for a few years. It passed in a blink of an eye, and there was no progress in this place.

Let me give a few more examples that are easy for everyone to learn. What is meant by "respectful heart." There is a disciple who is a monk. If the master wants to go out, he will explain the flowers and plants of his temple. If you want to water the flowers every day, remember to water the flowers and explain. Then I left, and then I left after I left. It rained for two days. If it rained, it rained every day in a row. Then guess whether this apprentice watered the flowers, did not water the flowers, should I water the flowers, it’s normal People will feel so stupid, so why do they water the flowers when it rains?Waste water, right?This is called being wise, according to the standards of practice, this is called being wise, in terms of world law, wise!correct!This person is very clever. You think he will plan not to waste the water he usually lives in and it has already been watered because it rains. Why do you need to water it? You are an idiot if you water it, it must be!If the standard of the world law is like this.

But what is the perspective of the practice of the transcendental law? As far as the master and apprentice are concerned, the apprentice and the master, you can see why Zen can use heart initiation as a method of spreading the Dharma, that is, between the master and the apprentice, the apprentice and the master. There must be a considerable tacit understanding and trust between them, so that your Fa can be taught and a tacit understanding can be formed.Then this trust starts with being obedient, and after a long time you will have a tacit understanding and trust in each other.

Otherwise, today the master will explain to you what to do, thinking that this kid might not know what else he is going to make, and if he doesn't follow it, it is impossible to generate trust.So sometimes too smart apprentices are not easy to teach. It's all their own knowledge: yes!That's right, I'm right to think this way!I save water for my permanent residence, what's wrong?It seems to be right. The problem is that one of the worst mistakes has been committed, that is, being disobedient and not straightforward!

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Respect is to believe in the teacher's teaching and practice sincerely

We often say that straight-heartedness is the dojo, and people in the world are always distinguishing what is good, what is bad, what is right, and what is wrong, and practice lies in the heart.Although this good apprentice is very obedient, even if it rains every day, it seems to be a little waste of water. That is a matter of fact, but he can show respect and obedience to the master. Then such a apprentice, the master will definitely be able to trust him. The law passed to him must be unreserved because he knew it would not deteriorate.

Otherwise, when it is passed to him, he has his own explanation and misunderstood your meaning, which is very troublesome and will cause a lot of trouble.After misunderstanding, if he disagrees, wow!It's against you, it's very serious, and it will give rise to many problems.Therefore, for those disciples who know a lot about seeing things, Master basically won’t teach you too much, especially the Mind Fa. Can you understand this?

So we must learn to be straightforward, not to learn to be smart, but to be obedient.You can do it as much as you can listen. You can start by listening to your parents and teachers. Of course, this person also needs to be respected. If you think there is a problem with him, of course you can’t do it completely. .

However, everyone should know that the standard of practice is different from that of people in the world. Practice is to put aside life and death.Master told you to die and jump off this cliff, dare you?This is straight-hearted, to be more thorough. A straight-hearted person is when the master tells you to jump, and you just jump. Even if you tell you to die, you will jump. Let go of life and death. Master will definitely not harm you anyway.Some masters in Zen Buddhism are enlightening their disciples. They have all kinds of strange tricks, including beating, scolding, kicking, and insulting. If you don’t accept, doubt, turn around and leave, or even enmity, then of course this Fa won’t pass. ,right?Must stand the thrilling test of this process.

There is this example in the Buddhist scriptures: one example is that a person looks stupid. This is not a master and apprentice, but the meaning is close. One person is stupid, and then another person is very clever, so he deliberately wants to punish him and tell him: You Jump down from this tree, jump down to the cliff, if you jump down, you can become an immortal, he really believes it, it’s simple, he really believes, and then he jumps down, because He believes, believes deeply and believes in everything, and he will truly gain the Tao, ascend to the heavens to gain the Tao.Then he lied to him and thought: How could this be?I just talked to him casually, how he really gained the Tao, he himself began to believe it, jumped down himself, and died.People really have no doubts, he is trying, right?That intention is different.

So if Master tells you to jump, he definitely has his intentions, and the cause and effect are also his responsibility. Do you dare to listen, you dare to listen to this one hundred points, you even give your life to Master, this is the best apprentice .People nowadays can't find this kind of person anymore, because now people have a strong root of "greed, hatred, ignorance, slowness, and suspicion." It's hard to doubt Master.Like when I was a child, I didn't believe my grandmother. She passed away last year and went to Paradise. My grandmother loved me very much. I absolutely believe this, but even though it loves me, I doubt her wisdom because the old man didn't read much.

One time, my ears were inflamed, and the ears were very painful. The old man didn’t have enough common sense. She thought that the ants ran in, so she filled it with water, and the inflamed ear was filled with water again, so the inflammation was more severe, so that time It hurts that I am my grandmother and I don't believe anything anymore.Later, people told us a secret recipe. This situation is: if it is really ants that run in, you have to irrigate with sesame oil, not water, even if real ants ran in, you can’t irrigate. You have enough common sense. We are such people. You can believe it naturally.

(XNUMX) Straightforward and submissive can comprehend the righteousness

So if we meet someone who we can't generate respect and trust, of course you can't be XNUMX% obedient, and there may be trouble if you obey, so it is also very important for us to choose good knowledge.So once you choose, your disciple regulation must do it. This is the disciple regulation.I just told you to jump down, and you don’t have to live it. This is a one-hundred-point disciple rule.Of course, these rules on the surface of the disciples are also very important, but the real thing lies in this core, which is to be XNUMX% respectful and obedient to the teacher.

The so-called respectful heart means that you are completely obedient, completely obedient, understand with your heart, and accept the instructions of the teacher.Then they don’t know how to be clever. Many people are clever. They don’t necessarily think that they have better ideas and can do better. You also think that Master’s intelligence is not enough. You are not as good as you, your method is better, right?That is disrespect, which is easy for many people to commit, and they don't realize it.

I felt that I was kind and wanted to make Master’s account better and more perfect. So in the process, I had some previous concepts, especially those who are strong women, capable or powerful guardians and great guardians. Career home. . .Wow!It’s even easier to fall into this problem. Use his own concepts to perform the things that Master has given him. Then he waits for Master’s praise after he finishes it. In fact, he is completely wrong. It should be the incense stick instead of waiting to receive the praise. It's that this disciple who doesn't understand the discipline of cultivation at all.

The real disciple rule is to fully believe in Master. If your own thoughts and actions show that you have doubts about or disagree with Master’s explanation, is it true that Master’s explanation? Is it worthy of being a disciple to question?Normally it is not. Since he is a master, he has his skill and method of teaching, as well as his own realm, which is often beyond the imagination of disciples.Take home practice and monk practice. Those are completely two-level things. Then, why can't the lay family respect the monk family?On the phase.I’ve been in the society with big storms and waves for decades to do such a big business, but what do you guys who have just become a monk know?It is often such a mentality.

But you have to know that from the perspective of spiritual practice, your social experiences are often more polluting, and they are things the Buddha wants us to put aside.right?After letting go, our original pure face will only appear.So all these things in your society, the part that you think is strong, that is the wisdom of the world, and it is often a kind of pollution, and the attachment is heavier.But these young men and women do not have these burdens. They are very simple, maybe very straightforward. As we just said, the master told him to water the flowers and water them as if it rained. This kind of people is easy to get the word. His realm is higher than you, and his heart is more pure, so he will have the cause of becoming a monk. Would you be willing to call you a monk?You still refuse to grin.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Patience is the foundation of all merits

So the level of realm, purity of mind, and the magnitude of merit are not your own subjective determinations, but there is a standard in the great path.We can all explain these clearly, and the scripture tells us clearly, the purer our minds, the less delusional attachments. This is the standard.right?After attaining Buddhahood, the delusional separation and attachment are all gone, and you will become a Buddha. Then, before becoming a Buddha, the less delusional attachment will be, the less self-consciousness. Whatever the master says, you will do whatever you want, even before you become a Buddha. Fate can be used.

In terms of this standard, the higher your skill, the purer your heart, usually this kind of person. . .Those people are more likely to be able to do it-those who are monks, innocent and seem silly, have the highest realm.It's because you don't know how to look at it, and use world standards to measure the level and depth of kung fu, so you can't develop respect for the monks. In fact, it's because you read it wrong.Therefore, we must remove these obstacles, so that we can develop respect, and then we can feel the cause and fate of the professor who is really good and knowledgeable.

To give another example, this effort is even higher.In the jungle, we know that we want to pass on to this successor. If we want to pass on the method, who will usually be selected?You see, sometimes thousands of people in the jungle, talented people come out in large numbers, there is a classic example of how the abbot chooses his successor, that is, there was an outside monk who went to the monastery ten jungles to place orders to attend school.

Because foreigners are usually excluded, you are not shaved here, but Shifang Jungle can still place orders, so go to order to participate in school, then the people inside will exclude him, do rough work for him, and pick dung. , Those who grow vegetables as fertilizer, and then are not allowed to enter the hall to listen to the scriptures, this has the rules.Because if you have a low level of seniority in the previous years, according to the precepts, in the first five years, the males learn the precepts and serve the teachers in the first five years, and the females are six years old, so you can’t study the classics.This all lays the foundation, cultivates respect for cultivating blessings and eliminating karma, serving teachers to learn how to be a good disciple, that is, learning the same principles as disciples. It takes five to six years to hone, and little bit in life. Drop to learn.

Then this person, he goes to this jungle to place an order, and of course he must start from the basics, and the treatment he receives is more difficult than ordinary people who study in the resident house. Everyone also looks down on him and often finds opportunities to fix him, deliberately looking for it. He was troubled, and even the abbot ignored him. He didn't say anything in his eyes. The abbot probably knew everything, but he deliberately didn't speak.Until one day he was about to find a successor, he never went in and listened to the passing, but on that day, he asked someone to call him to the hall, and then everyone guessed it. They were all very clever and passed the Fa to him. Give him a seat.

The abbot quietly observed and tempered him. On the surface, he ignored him and others bullied him. He didn't care about him. He deliberately wanted to observe his roots and deliberately asked him to hone his mind until a certain point. To determine the extent to which this person can really bear the burden of the family business. Being a leader is not that simple. If you are often held in the palm of your hand or you just understand some teachings, it is a problem for such a person to lead the crowd. So you can really stand up to the training, and even some masters will directly cheer you. Such a person is a person who is really practicing, and he can achieve real kung fu. Then a discerning person will definitely give him an important position.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Learning does not easily leave the cause and fate of the teacher of good knowledge

Then we study the Fa the same, if we go to the dojo today, we always like to have privileges, even. . .Alas, I went to meet the old monk. This old monk is very kind to me. It is good for me to eat and sit at a table. It is so good to have face. The guardian of the Dharma greets us very well. It is good to say that I feel very face. In fact, people with discerning eyes know it. You are definitely not the object of the old monk to teach.From here, we must be vigilant, what kind of person we want to be, you want to be a true practitioner, you don’t expect your master to be good to you, but to expect master to teach you, why can master teach you, Because you want to let him know that you can accept and you can obey.

Master teaches as much as you can listen. Master is definitely a discerning person and surpasses you.Of course, if you don't have such respect for the master, of course you are not suitable for relying on him to study.You must have basic respect, which is also the cause and condition of the world.Then the standard of measurement is not based on this reputation. These academic qualifications determine that the most important thing is that we ourselves must first have the conditions for learning Dharma tools. Natural Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will also help us arrange good knowledge to guide us.This is a typical representative of a magical implement.

In addition, there is another example. What does it look like to be Master's favorite disciple?Then it doesn't have to teach the Fa, or it doesn't have to be based on the object. If you want to serve as the abbot to manage the jungle, you must have a very strong mind.Then I’m going to give an example of Confucius and Yan Hui. Everyone knows that Confucius’ most dear student is Yan Hui. It’s not just because Yan Hui has good virtues, he is completely able to live in peace and happiness, and he does not pursue all the five desires. , A disciple who is dedicated to doing the Taoist.

Many of Confucius’s disciples were very good. Some were determined to be officials to serve the country, and some were to be businessmen to support their parents. Everyone had different ambitions. They were all very good disciples. Confucius carefully educates them. .But why is Confucius the most painful?It’s not just his ethics, but what Yan Hui’s greatest wish is, do you know?His greatest wish is not to make money to support his parents, nor to be an official to serve the country. His greatest wish is not to leave the teacher at all times, so the teacher loves him the most.

That teacher loves him most not because of selfishness. It's not because this disciple Yan Hui is very clingy to him. I just said that the little girl is the cutest. She is very good at acting like a baby with me. He said all the time: Master Daen, I love you the most.This remark is often left in the post, but I did not accept him as a study in our general lectures, so it is definitely not an emotional standard, this is fate.The first one is about fate. Yan Hui's ambition is to never leave the teacher because he emphasizes the law.Emphasize the Dharma, then if you really emphasize the Dharma, you will never leave the teacher. You must feel that being close to the teacher is the most important thing.

Therefore, among Confucius's disciples, only Yan Hui can hear about it.Zi Gong (Duanmu Ci), the other was originally a businessman, and he was very smart, and he was able to hear one thing, but only Yan Hui could know ten. No one among the disciples was not convinced by Yan Hui.So he is closest to the teacher, and he devotes himself to studying the Fa, so naturally he will not leave the teacher at all times.In the end, it was still very bitter and life was very difficult. Many students said that you can be an official or something, but he would not accept it. He said: His biggest wish is not to leave the teacher. After the final study, he also assisted. His teacher Confucius compiles and organizes "Spring and Autumn", and doing these things is also very meaningful and has immense merit. This is the best example of Fa-study.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Respect is the key to academic achievement

What are the other students' ambitions?The world law, he ran to do other things, you learned to serve the country and use it. This is all very good, but this law is not in the first place, and it respects the teacher and respects the Tao, and no one can do it. So thorough.right?So he is a good model, of course, it is not necessary to achieve this level. Every student has a good contribution in the end, and it is also a return to the teacher, and then according to his own destiny, he can maximize what he has learned. This is a limit of the teacher, this is also a show of gratitude and respect to the teacher, this is all right.But in terms of fate, there is no Yan Hui so close, no Yan is so close to Confucius.

In contrast, we can guess that there are ten disciples around the Buddha. The same ten disciples have a deeper relationship with the teacher and the Buddha's Dharma. Therefore, they are each representative in terms of spreading the Dharma: having supernatural power is the first, Wisdom comes first. . .There are so many disciples of the Buddha, but only ten of them are representative. What does this mean?Often follow the crowd.The most important representative among the Changsui crowd, this Dharma predestined is the deepest, and the deepest predestined relationship with the Master, this is Consummation, and here is the standard for our disciples to learn.Then see if we have done it ourselves?

Many of us now, especially those who study the Pure Land Method, have listened to one or two lessons, oh!I know, I believe it, I know that I am graduated, bye bye teacher.In this way, I completely forgot the teacher and thought I was enough. Anyway, I already knew how to fix it. I already got the password to open the door, so I left.Are you respectful?No respect.And it's not practical. Such people are not virtuous, they lack virtuousness, and they are not smart enough.

Because the Pure Land Method seems to be very simple, in fact it is the most difficult, because it is the realm of the Buddha, and what is it?The realm of the king of the Buddha is a realm that the general big bodhisattvas cannot understand.It's not that you can graduate by yourself after listening to your wishes.Although it can be achieved only by grasping this key, the question is, can you be sure that the three resources of your faith and willingness will never return?Can it grow?Or is it true that your current desire to do is true?There are big doubts about this.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Studying must be long-term and in-depth

If we don’t leave the good knowledge in the process of learning, even if we don’t want to say that we don’t leave the teacher at all times in our lives, at least we must "make a long-term mind" and try not to leave the teacher or leave the same reference. Fellow Daoists, in this case we will be able to guarantee success.why?The achievement of the Pure Land Method lies in "no inclusions, no doubts, and uninterrupted", so we can send our hearts to chanting Buddha without doubt, at least initially, then "no interspersed, uninterrupted", if we leave the teacher and the teacher together Participation is difficult to do.

Because mixed greed is a habit of our people, you want to learn a little when you see it, and a little when you see it, and you will think that I can add it, that is, to strengthen this merit, then these knowledge and opinions it's wrong.Only one can go deep, and only one can show your respect.Follow a teacher, follow a Dhamma, one subject to Consummation, this is the fulfillment of the true respectful heart.If you double-heartedly want this and the other, it's greedy, you don't have enough respect for the Dharma and the teacher, and you don't pay enough attention to it. You can see from this behavior.

Then it’s even more difficult to "uninterrupted". If you practice alone, maybe you can recite the Buddha for a few days, hit a Buddhist seven, and then start to work in society, wow!Business has been particularly good these days, wow!I made a lot of money, and then I have a good opportunity to continue the same thing, wow!I was totally addicted to it, and suddenly turned around one day, wow!It’s been a long time since I recanted the Buddha, and then I would comfort myself, oh, it’s okay!Anyway, I will be able to die by faith and willingness. In fact, this quality of faith and willingness has long been unable to withstand the test. It's just that you have learned later or deceived yourself.

In such a situation, can you die in the future?Certainly not.Because Master Yin Guang said: "Every sincerity earns one benefit, and very sincere respect gains very benefit." This is very obvious. There is no respect for the teacher and the Fa, and if there is no sincere respect, you will not get any benefit at all. To.Unless the cause is insufficient, there is no way to get close to the teacher, and there is no way to participate in the practice. This is when forced to have no cause, then there is no way, no way, it is not your own choice, does not hinder you, and will not harm you Xinxing.

If you are half-hearted, restless, and dishonest, then of course you are not obedient. There is absolutely no teacher who said that you have time to come and learn again, and there is no time for you to do your thing. It is impossible.There is no teacher who will not ask you to devote yourself to the long-term perspective, because this is the only way to achieve. So no matter what method we learn, first you have to choose your method, truly corresponding, and then you have to get close to the teacher. Good knowledge is truly capable of producing respectful good knowledge. You have to send this "long-term mind" to the end.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) To understand the true meaning of respectful heart

Only in this way can you truly show your respect for studying the Fa, and of course you will be able to get the benefits of Consummation. This is to give you some examples. We will understand more deeply what is called "respectful heart" and what is called "disciple Regulatory standards".Then I will give some more examples. What I just mentioned are just some of the basic standards that should be achieved. The next example is to remind fellow practitioners to avoid creating karma. These situations are also very common now, not only correct. The Sambo is not respectful, and very disrespectful.I don’t know how to build a respectful heart, and I’m so disrespectful that I have created a lot of karma, and there are a lot of these people around us.

Let me give you an example: Not long ago, more than a week ago, not only. . .It’s been a while since I went abroad, and it was within this month. It was also on the Internet. There is a person in charge of our Malaysian Academy Dojo. He should be the person in charge, because he is here to invite me to teach and preach, then this place I won’t talk about it, and I won’t talk about the name. It’s just in Malaysia. Like this time, I arranged to be in Indonesia. This time I went abroad. I have already been to Indonesia and Singapore. Then the initiation of a dojo in Indonesia is also because of Facebook. They were very happy after reading my article, so they invited me to promote the Dharma.

Then this guild leader should be the guild leader. He also asked me to go to their dojo to preach the Dharma. At that time, I did not immediately agree. I said that the itinerary had already been arranged, and I would arrange it later if there was a cause for it.Then he would initiate the request. Of course, he also agreed with me to initiate the request. One day he just asked a question to my message. It was not made public, and it was not made public. His question was: "Master, please see Look, this three-time Dharma meeting to protect the country and alleviate disasters, is this name the same as the law?".

Do our classmates often hear "rule" in Malaysia?Fellow practitioners will ask, is the practice in the dojo the same?Is this the law?Is that person doing it the same way?Right, I hear it often, right?The question he is asking me now is that the name of this Fa conference is the same as the Fa?When he asked the question for the first time, he didn't talk a lot, but simply asked me like this.

Then I answered very plainly, and I said: There is nothing wrong with it! "I said, "Master Yinguang was in the Shanghai National Protection and Disaster Relief Ceremony, so it is like this!" I said, "There is also the enlightened master we learned. Didn't the old monk give him a "three-time monk"? They don't often do it too. In this way, is it an initiation meeting like protecting the country and alleviating disasters?” Because I personally don’t know how to do it, I didn’t pay much attention to the information in this area. I just had such a concept in my mind, so I answered , I said: "There is nothing wrong!" Then he replied a letter, of course he did not agree with my answer, either he replied, or he replied a message. This message contains three to five hundred words. many.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Selfless cultivation of happiness is true virtue

Then I just put forward a point here. Of the three to five hundred words, of course, they are all his opinions, and he does not agree with the name.He didn’t agree with the name, and then he talked a lot. For example, he said that the old monk taught us to respect the teacher and respect the Tao. How can we delete the name of the patriarch Zhongfeng and use this blessing to replace the name of the ancestor. This is not Is it a joke in the world? . .Waiting for such a long talk, very indignant, and seems to be very eager to protect the Buddhism, and then emphasize the respect for the teacher and the Tao, because the name of Zhongfeng Patriarch cannot be deleted.

Then he quoted the words of the old monk and said: "It's too late for us to eliminate the karma, what else do we want to pray for?" Because his name has a blessing!That sentence is a standard out of context. It is too late for us to eliminate the karma, so what blessings we still want to ask for, don't we need to cultivate blessing?The old monk dared not ask people not to cultivate blessings, only karma does not cultivate blessings, so the old monk lectures also depends on the target, if it is to a sentient being like him, it should be told to him, that's right!It's just too late for you to get rid of the karma first, and you still want to cultivate some blessings.

Some people only think of cultivating blessings in Buddhism!I have repaired a lot of blessings, but because of the heavy karma and the troubles, I quarreled with people, and had no peace!Although it seems to be a protector who has done a lot of things, but there is no need to be in a group, and there is no need to look back on yourself and cooperate with everyone, so the employment barrier is very serious. Of course, like this kind of person, the old monk will certainly say, "Then disappear. Karma is too late, so what kind of blessing do I want to cultivate." You must eliminate the karma first, and then the blessings you cultivate can truly be blessed!For such sentient beings, of course we will tell him this way, but it doesn't mean that there is no need to cultivate blessings.

Then he used the sentence of the old monk at this time to explain that the name of the three-time meditation cannot be used for blessing. If this is the case, it is not correct. It is too late to pray for the karma. You cannot use the three-time meditation. The name of the puja, it means it!Use the words of the old monk to deny the name, then read it, wow!After reading this long story, I spent a lot of time. I jumped and watched it. I probably knew that he was sulking and complaining to me.

It is conceivable that this incident must have caused some disputes in their dojo, so he came to ask me, and I also know who is in charge of the monks in this dojo. I know the general situation, I think. The person is not good, he asked me this question, it's very simple!Probably it is to find someone to support his views, or to agree with his views, or to support him. Fortunately, I am very smart. I am not in the middle. When I returned to him, it was very simple. I said, "I No objection", I said: "Just do what you want, I have no objection."

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) We must sincerely protect the Three Jewels without self-attachment

If I have any opinions, just one or two sentences will be fine. Whenever he thinks of it another day, he will talk to someone, talk to someone so and so, how and what Master Renjing said.It was miserable. Originally it was what he meant, but it turned out to be mine. I am a bit smarter now, and I won't be led or misled by others to jump into this trap.In fact, some people didn’t intentionally harm you, but he’s used to it. He wants people to support him, so he will talk about it everywhere, and then find many people to support his argument. Then when he quarrels with others, He can say so and so, all the same as mine, right?

Then after a week or so, another question came up. In fact, it was related to the previous question, and the matter has not been resolved yet!He came to ask me, he just saw one of my posts that said "causal conceit", everyone is causal conceited, then he saw this and felt his heart, because he agreed with my teaching, but It just so happened that another mage said that, it was the mage in their dojo.

He came to me and said, "Master, you said that causality is conceited. The laws of this world are like this for everyone. Why would there be a master who said that if there is something in the dojo that is not as good as the law, the cause and effect will be borne by him. Others don’t bear it. Does the mage have such a reason?”

He is now questioning what the mage said, so if I follow him to judge, then I must follow him to comment on the right or wrong of the mage!Of course I won't fall for it.

In fact, it seems that from this passage, he has a different opinion from that of the mage. I guess it, because I didn’t ask. I guess it means that if it is the name of the three-time system, because both are The person in charge is a monk and a layman. The two people have different opinions and can’t stand it. Then as far as I know the mage, he is also a very principled person. He will not be controlled by a layman. People in the Buddhist precepts also attach great importance to Buddhist precepts, so it is very likely that he will say such things, stick to his own position, and then say: "If there is something in the dojo that is not as good as the Dharma, the cause and effect will be borne by him."

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Protect the Three Jewels with a sincere and respectful heart

This is our inference, but in fact, we don’t know if this is the case, but if this is the case, there is nothing wrong with this sentence. What does this mean?It's not that the real cause and effect will become negative for him, but he has this intention!Have this determination!He is willing to bear all the consequences. His mind should be like this. It does not mean that he wants to deny the law of "causal conceit" for everyone. This is not the case. It just means his personal intention.Because he wants to stick to his approach: If there is something wrong, I will be responsible.It may mean this.This layman explained it from the meaning of the word, thinking that it was originally "causal conceit." Why did he say that the cause and effect are borne by him? Is there such a reason?

So judging from these processes, this layman will have his own interpretation of the textual understanding, so communication with others will easily cause friction, right and wrong, and misunderstanding, all possible.That’s because it’s the second time I asked. I also think that since he didn’t have any bad intentions to ask me, I’d better persuade him a few more words, but I didn’t participate in this comment, I just persuaded him.I said, "Because everyone speaks with his own standpoint and reason, and everyone else may not be able to understand it after listening." Because I don’t think he understands the meaning of the mage, so I persuade him like this. Saying that others may not be able to understand it, just like the husband and his wife are talking, what the husband said, the wife may not be able to understand what the husband means, right?Will there be a misunderstanding, right?What's more, your layman has to understand what the monks say. One is to be a monk and the other is to be at home. The precepts are completely different. One is born into the world and the other is entering the world. There is really no way to imagine.

I personally became a layman and then I became a monk again, so I can understand that there is a big difference between the two. The direction of thinking and point of view are different, so don’t use your own standpoint to guess, and don’t use your own standpoint for family members. Guessing the understanding and thinking of a monk will make mistakes and misunderstandings, so I remind him in particular, I said: "Everyone has a different position, how do you know his motives and what they really mean, so we practice People must know how to look inside." At this time, I really began to persuade him. No matter whether he can listen or not, he probably won't listen, but I will do my duty.

You have come to ask twice. I always want to give you a little Dharma and tell you a little truth. I said, "A practitioner should look inward and observe his three karma frequently. Don’t look at other people’s actions. Wrong.” Look at his two questions, he was looking at other people, and then he didn’t agree with others. That’s why I asked him about this matter everywhere. Then I told him, I said, "Especial layman! Not only us Practitioners don’t look at the faults of others, and especially lay practitioners shouldn’t look at the faults of the Three Jewels. This is a big fault. You will definitely lose respect for the Three Jewels. It's absolutely nothing."

Respectful excerpts from disciple Guoxiong (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(Twenty-three) true monks never see the world

Because we just talked about so much, we emphasized the importance of respect. If you go to see the mistakes of the three treasures, you definitely can’t have true respect, so you must know how to protect yourself, even if there is something wrong with the three treasures. What's wrong with the law is their own cause and effect, and we must know how to protect our quiet mind.If you feel that this place is not as good as the Fa, it is a wicked teacher, and this dojo is not as good as the Fa, it is a cult, then don't get close, isn't it all right if you leave?

You don’t have to criticize, you don’t have to act as if you are acting for the heavens, as if you are right.Then you have to comment on them, or even enlighten them, and so on. This is too elevating yourself and forgetting your stand and duty. This is a very serious fault.It’s not our position, it’s not our duty, and it’s not what we should do. We don’t do it, and we don’t do it well. Just like our monks, the monks are determined to do things!The monks’ commandments The monks do wrong things, and the monks hold meetings and everyone decides that the laymen must not control the monks. If this is the case, there will be problems with the precepts, let alone lose their respect, so this is very important.

This is my simple answer to him, a persuasion to him!But I know it’s useless, because from the previous three-to-five-hundred-word, very exciting content, I know that I’m just doing my best, and then after I’ve answered, I will post our old monk’s writing on this post. Calligraphy "True monks, never see the world." Because we are little mages and our ability to persuade is limited, I will take out the teachings of the respected Master Shangjingxia Kong from his mouth. This seems to be more powerful. Ask the old monk to bless him and persuade him with me. Then I also respect the teacher, right?

Unexpectedly, wow!Even the respectful advice given by the Master in his mouth didn’t work, so he responded by leaving a message. At this time, the message was on the news and the whole world could see it, because my post was on the news, so he was there. The other side replied, he said: He would rather be a sinner in the world than to allow the masters to have behaviors that are inferior to the law, because the state has national laws and the family has family rules.Wow!As soon as I saw this, the house rules!What house rules?Did you make it?

What he meant may be determined by him, because every dojo has this permanent residence protocol, and he may be referring to this family rule.I thought to myself, wow!Our monks obey the "precepts of the Buddha", and the "Jungle Statutes" made by the ancestors of the jungle. As for the dojo, of course, every place, like our so-called "spirit of the precepts", also includes observing the law, observing the laws of the country, and observing everything. The law, this is all necessary, and the spirit is covered by all the rules, but who made this family rule and what the standard is? We can see from this answer that he does not allow the master to be inferior Acts of law.

Wow!I was really shocked by such a strict attitude, the attitude of discipline, the attitude of disciplining the monks, so it’s better not to ask me to give lectures from them, or wait and wait for me, because I’m a person. Sometimes you will break the "house rules" accidentally. Maybe you don't understand the house rules set by many laymen. I don't know if you accidentally break it. So it's better not to go. This is a very specific example.

(Twenty-four) the duty of protecting the Three Jewels

Our fellow practitioners in Malaysia, I have been close to Malaysia in the past two years and have made connections with many societies. Then I can see that the fellow practitioners in Malaysia are actually very kind, because the folk customs here are very simple, but it is because they are very simple. Kindness, when he comes into contact with the Dharma and wants to practice and protect the Dharma, wow!His very passionate attitude, the very intense and dedicated spirit and behavior, may not be comparable to fellow practitioners in other countries, so if his views and practices are wrong, it is also very scary, like the old Lay Li Bingnan said. "Why are Buddhism so messy? There are too many "good people"!"

These all the greater right and wrong are what they think is done by those who are good, and he doesn't know if he creates karma himself.What mistakes did this layman make?He used "Ji" to quit others, not himself, right? Then, he misunderstood the teacher’s meaning and teachings. He used the words of the old monk to support his arguments and criticize others. This is disrespect. Teacher, in general, disrespect the Three Jewels, slander the Three Jewels, and see others before. All of these are the causes of hell, which is terrible!

Then I see that there are many such people. Our feeling is that they are very pity for these people, because he did not intentionally, he is very motivated, but this kind of motivation is based on his own point of view, his own preferences, and his own. It’s just because we learned that it’s the Taoist style of curator Han Yu. The layman is in charge of the family, and the family is dedicated to support, so it really doesn’t matter how special his behavior is, but she really made a big difference. Master, so she has her karma and merits, we have to learn, we should learn from her achievements, learn from her kung fu, rather than learn from her harsh aspects, it would be bad if we learn it wrong.
