(XNUMX) The person who prescribes the medicine alone is the monk treasure


(XNUMX) The person who prescribes the medicine alone is the monk treasure

Dear fellow practitioners, hello Amitabha!

Yesterday we gave many examples to talk about how to respect the teacher and cultivate sincere respect.This is because I hope that the fellow practitioners can establish this very important foundation before studying the Fa, and only after this foundation can they be truly absorbed in the Fa-study.

At the same time, we also gave some practical examples to remind fellow practitioners to be careful not to inadvertently create all kinds of karma for the three evil ways because of disrespect in the process of learning. Take this as a vigilance and do not commit the same mistakes again, because these mistakes are very serious sins.Even if we committed it unintentionally because of ignorance, there is no way to avoid this retribution, and in order not to form evil ties with sentient beings, often good knowledge will stay away from you and refuse to teach you.Then in the process of studying, you will never get out of your blind spots and misunderstandings by discerning the law.

At the same time, we practitioners must also integrate what we have learned and experienced, how to integrate respect into our daily lives, and make it a part of our habits, so that we can hope to achieve true merit in our studies.In particular, you must avoid not being able to look at the faults of others, and to keep the precepts that you are not precepts to others, especially the Three Jewels of the family inheritance of the burden of Tathagata.

If we are disrespectful to the Three Jewels, not only will our Dao Karma fail to achieve Dharma discrimination, but also our morals and happiness will be very detrimental. Therefore, many fellow practitioners are also in Buddhism and have cultivated a lot of blessings. Why can't we still feel good results? A lot of troubles, this is karma.What you cultivate is a blessing with leakage, just like a cup filled with water, this is a blessing, but there are holes in the bottom of the cup, and it leaks while it is installed, so it is for nothing, and even the karma created is more than what you have cultivated. blessing.

So we have seen the current situation of many practitioners in Buddhism. Why can't they benefit from their studies? It's not that Buddhism is not working, but that we have cultivated wrong.We need to know, especially the monks. Now that the Buddha is not alive, the monks represent the Buddha. The three treasures of the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha are one body, and the Dharma must be promoted through the monks. Respect like a Buddha, this is the right attitude.

In this respect, the teaching of Tantra is particularly strict, but it does not mean that only practice of Tantra requires respecting the master as a Buddha. No matter which school, school, or method we learn, this is all necessary. condition.This is because only the consummation of our inner spiritual virtues can be enlightened. In fact, even if the monks don’t have full enlightenment, the Dharma he teaches is the realm of the Buddha’s personal witness. This Dharma is like a medicine list. The prescription of the medicine, but the prescription must be based on the right medicine, for each person’s different symptoms, and a separate prescription for you, then this job lies in the monk’s treasure, for the monks.

So in other words, if you don’t respect the monks, then this is detrimental to the way of the teacher. Don’t think that we are following Buddhism by saying that the monks are not enlightened. As long as you respect the Buddha and the Dharma, it is enough. If there is no monks to prescribe these medicines. , Then your disease is incurable.Just like what we said, it is necessary to make an agreement and also an opportunity. The work of this opportunity lies with the monks, so it is natural to respect the monk.
