(XNUMX) The broad theory of the Pure Land Religious path supersedes the Bodhi path and the broad theory 

The subject matter of this theory is presented in the form of recitation, so I will compile and organize the content and textual principles in accordance with the classics and the teachings of the patriarch, and there will be no personal creativity in it.

There are several characteristics of this wide theory. The first one is the "Buddhist Path Di Guanglun" of Chaosheng Tibetan. How can we say about it?Many fellow initiates are familiar with the theory of "Bodhi Paths and Stages". This is a very important work on Tibetan Buddhism, written by Master Tsongkhapa.

Tsongkhapa is a very well-documented great practitioner. Why are we here to talk about our "Pure Land Religious Taoism", which can surpass the book written by Tsongkhapa of Tibetan Buddhism. What about the Bodhi Path?Of course, it is not my personal realm that can be compared, but the main idea of ​​our book is completely based on Amitabha. Amitabha is the king of buddhas. This is the realm of Amitabha. Since it is the king of buddhas, it is of course surpassing.

(XNUMX) The broad theory of the Pure Land Religion is more superior than Zen

The second feature is that it is more superior to Zen. Zen is in China. Among the eight sects of this sect, it can be said that the achievement is the fastest. The current point of view is that the human mind becomes a Buddha. Indeed, the achievement of Zen is very fast, but You must be a root person to be able to learn this method accordingly.The origin of Zen Buddhism was when the Blessed One spoke at the dharma meeting, "Blessed One smiles at the flower Kassapa," and at the moment the heart and heart are in contact with each other. This is the method of mind.

The Fa between the master and the apprentice, because of the process of such a small movement, the Fa can be taught right away with the initiation of the heart, but as ordinary people, we can’t see anything after watching it for a long time. Above, there are still many disciples in the seat. All of them didn’t feel it after watching for a long time. Only Kassapa can understand. So although Zen can be directed at people’s hearts and can be seen as a Buddha, not everyone can have it. Comprehend.

Well, the practice of Zen Buddhism, in fact, we can see from the way Master Hui Neng, the sixth ancestor, that he introduced it is indeed very fast and simple. In fact, the method of imparting the Dharma, which is to attract sentient beings, is actually very simple. The question is whether our foundation can grasp this state.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Allusions about not thinking about good and not thinking about evil

The Sixth Patriarch Master had a famous saying at that time, that is, when his brothers wanted to chase him down and grab back the mantle, he later repented and asked him for the Dharma. Then the Sixth Patriarch Huineng taught to him and pointed directly to the hearts of the people. How to refer to it directly, tell him "don't think about good, don't think about evil." "That" is the original face of the Lord. This sentence is very famous, but there are still many great virtues who have interpreted it wrongly. The solution is very mysterious. It's wonderful, people still can't understand after watching it for a long time.

In fact, how do you explain this sentence?It's very simple "don't think about good, don't think about evil." "That" is the true face of the Lord, it's "that". When you don't think about goodness and evil, what is "that"? Will you?The moment when you don’t think about good or evil is the moment when you have no thoughts. You don’t think about good law or evil. The moment that is pure and thoughtless is “that”, which one?I still can't find it, so this is what you need to know.

Many people misunderstood and interpreted him as "Which one is the original face of Ming Shangzuo", "Which one"?If you want to ask which one, you have to wonder which one it is.In fact, he is pointing directly at the human heart, that is, telling you directly. "That" means that if you can know it right now and feel that moment, that kind of silent state, there is no distinction between good and evil, no thoughts, "that" is it.If you realize it, "that" is what it is. Our Buddha nature is pure and untainted. In this Buddha nature, the state of "that" with no distinction, no attachment, no good, no evil, and no thoughts is "that". Everyone, go back. Experience it.

It’s really possible and it’s not difficult. It’s just that this kind of experience is deep and shallow, just like this is the earliest Zen way of picking up the phone. It’s actually very simple, but later people’s minds are more complicated, so they think at first. A lot. When you think about it a lot, you simply forget to pay attention to the moment you are pure. You can’t feel it and there is no way to calm down and grasp the moment, because your attention is focused on your mental consciousness, so Slowly such a simple sentence, such a clear guide to your true face, but everyone has no way to understand it.

(XNUMX) How to talk to the head of Zen 

(XNUMX) Causality is at the same time the superiority of the Pure Land Method

So why is our method very simple? Because this method is actually very similar to the characteristics of Zen. It directly asks you to believe in the Buddha.If we believe in the realm right now, we have entered the realm. When we enter the realm, we do not see our own nature, but become one with Amitabha. Amitabha’s aspiration has been fulfilled, and the forty-eight vows have been fulfilled. Then we only need to believe that the whole body depends on the vow. Amitabha, then at the moment we are united with Amitabha, we are Amitabha, and Amitabha is us.

Although we haven’t achieved it, Amitabha has achieved it, so we can do it right now when we truly believe in our desires. It’s so fast! And it’s as fast as Zen Buddhism, but we don’t have to spend a long time. We don’t necessarily have that understanding as long as we are willing. As long as you are willing to make a wish and be willing to believe, it is enough to say that it is more superior than Zen Buddhism from this perspective.

It is true that our method is very noble. The Zen master who is thoroughly enlightened is also the ancestor of our Jingzong. He told us: "When we recite the Buddha, when we recite the Buddha, it is when we become a Buddha, that is when we become a Buddha." Just in our sentence. We have become a Buddha right now when we recite the name of Buddha. That's what it means, so how fast! We have entered the realm right now, and more perfect than this Zen Buddhism.

why?In Zen Buddhism, when you see sex, when you see sex, you know your mind and you become a saint. You are an Arahant. After you see sex, you have to practice three A Sangsang Tribulations before you can become a Buddha, become a Buddha, become a Buddha, and become a Buddha. To teach the Buddha there are still three great monks. He just saw it first, and he had to cultivate after enlightenment. What about us?We don't need it. We become a Buddha when we recite the Buddha. What kind of Buddha is this?Yuanjiao Buddhism is incredible, "when you become a Buddha, that is when you become a Buddha", so it is more surpassing Zen Buddhism.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Teachers and good friends are the fate of continuous learning

It’s really hard to imagine this realm, it’s incredible, it’s all due to the blessings of Amitabha Buddha’s aspirations, but the difficulty has its own difficulties. The difficulty is that we can’t really believe in the real aspiration, even if the real aspiration arises. It is also very difficult to have a long-term perspective. It is very difficult to be able to truly be without doubt, without intermingling, and without interruption. The difficulty lies in this place.

How to overcome it?There is only one way, that is, even after we have a faith and wish, we will not be able to leave the teacher and fellow daoists until we die. As long as we can continue to help, then we will be able to smoothly until we die without turning back.Because in this process, we don’t need to practice Kungfu, and we don’t need other conditions. As long as we can believe in our wishes, we can wait for Amitabha to pick him up smoothly. This is something we chanting Buddhists should pay special attention to. .

So don't want to say: Oops!Anyway, I have already made a vow, and reciting the Buddha is very simple. I can chant everything by myself. I just need to believe in the vow and deepen the vow. I also rely on myself to recite the Buddha.It seems right to think this way, but it’s actually too naive, because we really want to be able to smoothly not regress until we die. The most important factor and the most important condition is to rely on teachers and good friends. Then we are most afraid of There is no such cause.

Well, if we have this wrong concept and don’t pay attention to this fate, it is very possible that the karma of our beings is incredible. In this process, until the process of death, this factor of regression is too great. There are too many, so if we know how to make good use of this aid, we will be like Master Hui Yi said, after your belief arose, until you die, even if you only recite one Buddha's name a day, you will definitely be able to Die.

What is the most important thing to be able to recite Buddha without interruption?Fate! If you rely on yourself, it’s easy to forget to recite the Buddha. Sometimes it’s possible to forget the Buddha's name for a few days, so this depends on the environment of the teacher and kind friend. If you forget to recite, others are reciting it. I will remind you that as long as someone reminds you that you think of chanting Buddha, your faith and wish will not retreat, then you will be able to die smoothly. This is a point that we must pay special attention to.

(XNUMX) Practicing the path of the Bodhisattva with a straightforward commitment

So the part of the Pure Land Method is that it is difficult to benefit others, and it is also difficult to bear directly. That is, as we just said, in fact, when we recite the Buddha, we have already become a Buddha and we are also a Buddha. This realm is true, but we can’t imagine it. , There is no way to experience this state, so it’s hard to believe, it’s hard to bear it straight, admitting that we are doing Buddha when we recite the Buddha, but this is the truth, so we can usually try to experience it. You are right now. Foye, do you dare to admit it?

Oops, I’m sorry I’m an ordinary karma! It is true that we are ordinary karma, that is from the perspective of our own cause and effect, but once we can take advantage of Amitabha’s aspiration, then we will not see this "I" right now, we This ordinary person is gone, we become the incarnation of Amitabha! Think of ourselves as the incarnation of Amitabha, you are a Buddha, you are welcome, and we ourselves have Buddha nature.So in fact, we can try to experience it in this way. In this process, especially when practicing the bodhisattva path and being altruistic, you will have a special sense of accomplishment and will be particularly positive.

That kind of mentality is easier to achieve true merits. You are a bodhisattva and a Buddha right now. With such a mentality and such an incarnation to practice the bodhisattva path, the feeling is different. The merits are great, and you will do it yourself. Very happy.But you shouldn’t go everywhere and tell people that "I am a Buddha". The truth is that there is nothing wrong with it, and there is indeed nothing wrong. Then we can try to understand and see it in the process of learning. , Don’t talk to others everywhere.

So the third characteristic, the third characteristic of this theory is "superior teaching.""Jiaoxia" refers to the eight sects in China. Among them, Weishizong, Tiantai, Huayan are all, as well as Madhyamaka. This is the study of the teachings, so it is called the teaching.Consciousness-only learning is the most difficult, and I think it is the most headache because it is called Buddhist psychology. In psychology, because the mind and thoughts are very subtle to study, it has a lot of nouns. Especially many.

It is said that it takes eight years to learn the basic names and the basic names of the only knowledge-only names, and it will take eight years to memorize them. Then after you have learned all these basic names, you have to study further. This is what we call the eight consciousnesses. Alaya consciousness is the eighth consciousness, mona consciousness seventh consciousness, and up to the first six consciousnesses, analyze the function of the eight consciousnesses, its activity status, that is to say, our heart-moving thoughts. Status.

Then this part belongs to the scope of the Vishi Sect. It is to explore the Buddha nature from this angle. Then at the end of the exploration, its theory is that "all dhammas are changed by consciousness", which emerges from the Alaya consciousness, then this Part of what you want to learn is not something that ordinary people can be able to sustain. Just memorize these names and you will be stunned (unclear).

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) The Three Learnings are not the pure practice of the Pure Land Method

This other sect, the eight sects in China, in addition to the practice of Buddhism, all sects must follow the order of the three disciplines of precept, concentration and wisdom. After you have concentration, you must enter the deep meditation, and then it is possible to activate the prajna wisdom. This time, there is no way to make tricks. You must follow the steps step by step.

Let’s take a look at it. It’s very difficult to keep the precepts even the five precepts. Therefore, if we have to learn the precepts and concentration on our own, then other denominations don’t have our share. So we do compare and analyze in this detail. Our method is indeed It is better than other sects. Then some people have been reciting the Buddha for a long time, and they also know that it is really simple, so why do we still have no way of benefiting after reading for a long time?

I believe this is also the doubt of many people. The real key reason is that we have not grasped the pure practice of our Pure Land Method by cause and condition. We have introduced this part of the essence of the Pure Land Three Sutras, and the magic weapons that have been circulated before have been introduced to you. In the past, We learn the Pure Land Method, mostly based on the teachings of the patriarchs of other sects, and Tiantai Huayan only knows the methods of recitation of Buddhism taught by the patriarchs of these other sects.

Then, of course, what they teach is based on the concept of their own discipline, that is, precept, concentration and wisdom. They must practice Kungfu as well as meditation, so the name of chanting Buddha is also used as meditation practice. The method is to practise the samādhi of the Buddha, and not to have one thought. This is all meditation!Using this Buddha name as the goal of meditation practice, and finally after deep meditation, after the so-called samādhi of Buddhism is obtained, it can inspire our Prajna wisdom.

This concept is the first stage of the three studies of "precept, concentration and wisdom". Of course it is very difficult. We just talked about the other denominations according to the stage of "precept, concentration and wisdom."There is no way to be sure, so we are practicing Buddhism. Although we are also practicing Buddhism, it seems that we are also practicing Buddhism. In fact, we are not practicing the real Buddhism.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Good guidance thought is pure pure land thought

The true practice of Buddhism does not need to practice Kungfu or precepts, concentration and wisdom. It only needs to believe in willingness and do the three resources for rebirth.So if you are following the concept of precept, concentration and wisdom, relying on your own strength to achieve chanting and samādhi, you must be in touch with the Buddha, and you must enter the realm of the Buddha. From the realm of the ordinary people, we have to rely on our own strength to get into Is the realm of Buddha possible?It is absolutely impossible, so it is very difficult. From here, it can be determined that this is definitely not a pure Pure Land method. Why?

The practice of the Pure Land Method is known as the three quilts, which can take all the benefits and dullness. It is simple and easy, so why is it so difficult?Of course it’s not the Pure Land Method, and it’s not corresponding at all. So until the recent decades, there have been many masters in Taiwan, especially young masters, who almost came into contact with the thought of good guidance. Our second ancestor of Jingzong, Amitabha Buddha, will come again and be incarnate. The pure land thought taught by the master good guide again, this one is the purest pure land cultivation method.

In the past, most people practiced Buddhism according to the teachings of his patriarch. This is because the teachings of Master Shandao have been lost for more than XNUMX years, and there is no cause for people to promote it. It is only in Taiwan in the past few decades. It began to develop slowly, and this has its destiny.

Then we are very lucky. Now we can finally come across the teachings of Master Shandao, which is the pure Pure Land Method, and then we can be liberated right now.The present can be like Zen. Zen refers directly to the human mind and you will graduate when you see the true face at the moment, and you will graduate from the practice of Zen, and you will see the nature of your mind.

Then when we encounter this practice, we now have faith and aspirations that we can truly trust Amitabha, relying XNUMX% on his power. We forget ourselves, and give ourselves to Amitabha Buddha to become one. We have graduated right now, and now this pure land After graduating from the Famen, the confidence of the deceased is established, and the rest is the magical power of games!Waiting for life.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) A solid foundation, true faith, eagerness to be natural and true

If there is a cause and condition, we can introduce this Fa to those who are predestined. If there is no cause and condition, we will recite the Buddha well, and the self-reliance part has already been resolved.Then we have to study the general outline that we will talk about next. The part of "A-One Renewal" is also the Pure Land "Additional Path". This is a supplement, a supplement that we did not have a good foundation before.

This part of the old repairs must also be re-taken up for this course, so that it can help us to truly see through it, to let it go, and to truly feel the taste of liberation.If you have not cultivated this part of the credits, even though you have built up your confidence, you can only rely on the Buddha's name to produce Dharma happiness, or rely on the Buddha's name to hold down your troubles, but you have all kinds of things in this world because of your attachments. I haven't seen it through, so I will still feel a lot of troubles, and the liberation in my heart is not so thorough and not so comfortable.

So for beginners, if you haven’t had the heart to ask for the pure land, you have to start from this stage, from this part, to practice first, then the foundation is very solid, you can really see through, let go, and realize this. With the phenomena of suffering, emptiness, and impermanence in the world, you can naturally have your faith and aspirations, and your faith and aspirations can be true.

If it is true, then of course there is no accident and no situation when you die. Otherwise, you may think that you have made a vow, and then Amitabha will not come. What is the problem?The problem lies in your faith, which is not true, and you have not noticed it yourself.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Only by deep experience of suffering can there be true renunciation

Next, we are going to talk to you about the first part of this outline. I divided this general outline into three parts. This is done in accordance with our traditional scientific judgment. The first part is " "Sequence points", this is a forward-looking homework. In this part of the content we talked about "suffering, emptiness, impermanence, and non-self." From these four aspects, we can understand it to help us see through and truly see through this world. If we really see through it, we can let it go.

Now we can’t let go because we haven’t seen it through. In fact, most people haven’t really let go. We have been chanting for a long time, and we remind ourselves every day that this world is very bitter, and we must ask for the pure land. Have we let go? Not necessarily, ten There are none of them, we can examine it through this study.

"Suffering, emptiness, impermanence, and non-self." It contains the doctrines of the Great and Small Vehicles. This is the fundamental doctrine of Buddhism. This is what we should learn. In particular, we should learn this part of Buddhist chanting. We have to recognize it. To help us see through the truth of this fact, this is the main purpose of our study.

What about suffering? Everyone knows that the world is suffering. Everyone admits that the world is suffering. But how real you feel about this suffering is that we have to understand it very carefully. If your feeling about suffering is It's really deep. Then you should be willing to die right away. Let's think about it. If you are very young and only seventeen or eight years old now, would you be willing to go if you want to die?

Usually it’s not. Usually everybody thinks that it’s not a pity to live in their XNUMXs or XNUMXs, because they can live for a few more years and do a little more. This is not seen through, you need more What do you do, do you create more karma?Still suffer more?

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Discrimination from the perspective of letting go of family affection

Let's think about it calmly. If you really feel the suffering in this world, you have really felt it, and then we will use your children to test it. There is a piece of meat in the heart of your own birth, which is called your children now Do you want to die soon?Definitely not. If you are kidding, you will definitely think: Oops!Isn't that a pity?If the child is still so young, tell him to die, tell him to die, he is okay, and the child is even more impossible, and even more impossible.

So why is there such a reaction?That is, you don’t really feel bitter in this world, but you know from the truth. If you really feel bitter, you are scalded by fire in the sea of ​​fire, and you are about to drown in the dung pit in the five turbid and evil world. The seven orifices are all those. The things of feces and urine, we are the five turbid worlds, if you really experience this deeply, do you want your children to leave immediately?Will consider it!

So how we want to experience the truth of this world is to think deeply in this way, otherwise we say that this world is very bitter, it is very emotional, and the feeling is very shallow, so there is no way for us to arise immediately. The power of dissatisfaction means not feeling deeply about this suffering.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) The suffering of sentient beings can only be completely eliminated by the Buddha

Many people, especially the elderly, think that we young people are talking about suffering, and they seem to disagree, saying: Oh, we used to suffer a lot when we were young. Now you young people are more rewarding than the other, you are talking to us. There seems to be little convincing to talk about bitterness.So here I am also very willing to share with you my personal experience of suffering in this world. Let us refer to it. With an example of this fact, we can also understand the phenomenon of suffering in this world.

Some practitioners have heard the lyrics written by me. One of them is called "Who knows the suffering in the world". The lyrics are very simple, because there are certain rules for writing and filling words. Your writing is too complicated, and there is no way to show that. The role of the song, so the lyrics content should not be too complicated, but it must be able to show that it can achieve our goal of saving sentient beings. Writing this song is not for people to use as entertainment, but has the function of saving sentient beings.

When I was writing at that time, I did not expect to resonate so much later because I had no experience in writing words. This was the first poem. Later, I wrote several poems one after another, and they were widely circulated.At that time, I had no experience at all, and no professional training, but it was just based on a kind of inner feeling about the world. At that time, the first song was to get the composition and get the music. Then I heard this music suddenly. A touch.

There was a touch in my heart that brought me into the feeling of beings. The only feeling that arises is "suffering", so the song title of the lyrics is "Who knows suffering in the world". That kind of state of mind at that time, How bitter do you think this kind of suffering is?How bitter is it?Suffering so much that only the Buddha can understand it. This kind of suffering is deep and strong. Even the Bodhisattva has not been able to fully experience such suffering. So I wrote that only the Buddha understood the most clearly. The mood at the time in this lyrics is Written like this.

Later, these simple lyrics can also resonate with the four disciples, including the monks. I am very surprised, because this lyrics is mainly for beginners, especially young people, who would definitely not be interested in this chant. I thought it was an old man who listened to it, so I had to write Buddhist music for this beginner for some skill to attract these people. I didn't expect that even the monks could be moved. After listening, many people would burst into tears without realizing it. The face is full, because it resonates.

I also feel that this is indeed the case. Through this lyrics, we have written the eight sufferings in the world, which the Buddha told us, summed up the eight sufferings in the world, "birth, old age, sickness, death, separation of love, unwillingness, resentment, five "Yin blazing", then I made it into a vernacular to express it. It is indeed a phenomenon in the world, so it can resonate with everyone. This is my mood at the time, so I wrote it out. It is really feeling. To a very deep suffering.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) The suffering of all beings is like a shadow

What we know about this suffering is the so-called eight sufferings, which are the eight types of suffering we just talked about. Actually, the Buddha also summarized the three sufferings. The three sufferings are "suffering suffering, bad suffering, and acting suffering." The eight types of birth, old age, sickness, death, and separation of love belong to suffering, that is, their nature is suffering, so they are called suffering, and their nature is suffering, so they are called "suffering."

So "bad bitterness" means that he seems to be happy. For example, if you are happy in a relationship now, then after a while quarreling, it becomes bad, and that happiness has become bitter, so it is called "bad bitterness."It seems to be a happy thing, but in fact it will change, it will not keep this happiness forever, so that kind of nature is called "badness".This is usually not difficult for us to understand, for example, we eat, wow!Eating is delicious now, but after eating too much, I feel very uncomfortable. This is "bad and bitter." Therefore, what you eat is considered to be happy and enjoyable. In fact, it is also a kind of suffering, called "bad and bitter."

So it’s hard for ordinary people to experience suffering, and I realized that this level is really the kind of suffering. I can describe it to everyone. The "suffering" and "bad suffering" just talked about are common people's lives. It is not difficult to experience it. I have felt it more or less, but many people may not be able to experience suffering.

"Practicing suffering" means the constant flow. What kind of realm is the constant flow?From the perspective of reincarnation of life and death, it is also a kind of "suffering". It is a reincarnation cycle from one life to another. It is endless, walking, the stream is endless, the walking is always flowing, and it is constantly repeating. It is a kind of exhaustion. Because of our obsession with births, we can’t feel the suffering of this kind of reincarnation.

But where can we feel it? Thoughts, our thoughts also arise and die in an instant. This is also a kind of "suffering", but the thoughts are relatively subtle, and most people don't notice it.We can also understand from another angle, that is the part that I personally experience, that is, in life, eating and drinking Lhasa together every morning and going to bed at night, is this also a kind of "suffering"?

Repeating it every day, some young people think it’s not bitter, it’s very interesting: When I wake up every morning, I start thinking about what I’m going to do today? I seem to be very happy, so I don’t think it’s It's a kind of suffering, but I think it's fun, it's fun! That's because he hasn't come yet, so he can't understand the truth.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Suffering can only be noticed by people with good roots

Then I personally have this kind of deep experience, that is, every day, repeating this day every day is a kind of suffering. I feel very tired, tired of living, tired of eating, and tired of playing. I don’t know if you’re tired from living. You might think: Oh, it’s tired at work, and tired when going out...but you won’t be so tired that you don’t want to repeat it anymore. .

Most people will not feel this stage, that is, you don't want to do these things again tomorrow, you are doing these things every day, why do you have this experience?This should also talk about the cause and fate of the past life, otherwise, as I just said, maybe young people find it very interesting. There is endless hope every day, and I don't feel tired at all, and the days still feel full of fun.

But my experience is different from others. I did not study Buddhism because of sudden shocks. Some people are divorced or suffering, some are abandoned, some are career failures, and some People are always stimulating, and then they have no choice but to seek the support of religious belief. Many people are like this, but I am not.

But it is also a kind of accumulation of suffering. It is also suffering. I feel suffering. Therefore, when I encounter the Dharma, I will make a wish to live in the blissful world within ten minutes. There is no need for persuasion from others. This has an antecedent, except Extending beyond this reason for the past life, as far as this life is concerned, from the childhood to the total suffering, this, ah, it's a long story.

Let me talk about this when I was young. When I was young, because I used to be in my twenties. There was a period of time when I was in my twenties, and I had a very enjoyable life. I've seen the world, I went to stay in a five-star hotel, travel abroad, abalone, shark fin, alas!Amitabha, I have eaten all of them, and later I also cooperated with my friends to open a restaurant, a very high-end restaurant, in Tianmu, Taipei.

The area of ​​Tianmu is all foreigners. The general manager's foreign company is sent to work in the villa area in Taiwan, or the high-level residential area where some officials live. In the area of ​​Tianmu, Taipei, there is a small room. The ping is not big, but it is a very high-class restaurant, a western restaurant. I used to have a big meal that day, because I invited a Frenchman at the bar, then a Filipino singer, and then the chef is a Cantonese. Cantonese are good at cooking. , He is cooking Chinese food and western food.

We are made in the style of a western restaurant, but the meals are all high-end. This set meal costs five to six hundred yuan at least. Many years ago, it was almost the same.Yay!This is how I talk about my age. More than XNUMX years ago, I was in my early twenties. I was the owner of the restaurant myself, and I was the general manager. I asked employees to do it.

The owner of the restaurant eats big meals every day. For seven days a week, the chef cooks seafood set meals, steaks, and eats every day. If you don’t eat enough, you have to go out to eat shark fin and abalone. After a while, it’s not. Very long, just a few years, just a few years, these so-called things that ordinary people pursue, especially women who love to wear beautiful clothes, and then also love to enjoy them.

At that time, I also often travel abroad. I can travel abroad alone. I often like to do this. I go to Australia for a month and China for a month. If I don’t have time, I will even stay in a hotel in China, a five-star hotel. After staying in a restaurant, I didn’t go out for a week. I just ran upstairs and downstairs all day long. Oh, the gym and sauna. It’s just a vacation. If I didn’t go abroad, I didn’t have time to spend a vacation in the country and enjoyed it. For a period of time, these are the lives that many women want to pursue, and I have experienced them.

But after experiencing this, I will talk about fundamental issues. Many people are likely to be addicted, but when I have experienced it, it is really good now, yeah!I think it’s fun. Who doesn’t like to enjoy it. Abalone fins are also delicious when they eat. They are delicious. We also go sightseeing. We also go to the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong to buy clothes. The set is XNUMX to XNUMX Taiwan dollars. It costs XNUMX to XNUMX Taiwan dollars at random, and you have to go out shopping at least once a year. This is the day that women enjoy most.

But after I have experienced it, I think it’s nothing, but it’s just like this, and it’s true that I’m tired of eating. Most people may eat a big meal once a week. I eat it every day. I remember once a friend asked me to go to a British-style high-end restaurant steak house. It’s not an ordinary Western-style steakhouse, but a British-style traditional steakhouse. It’s very high-class. For example, a typical steak may be XNUMX per order. One thousand, they want to sell two thousand, such a high-end restaurant.

As a result, I have salad and soup. After the appetizers are eaten, I am full. Because I often eat big meals every day, it is really the main course. I can't eat a bite. It is such a high-class and delicious thing. As a result, I acted because there was almost no one There will be, at least you have two or three bites, but I didn't move a bite. The general manager of the restaurant came out to greet him personally and was very scared because the customers didn't take a bite.

This will hurt their professionalism, self-esteem, and service. Maybe the signboard will be affected. They are very worried. He can completely give you another set meal without any problem. They are afraid of poor service. At a high-end restaurant in Beijing, when the general manager came out to find out the situation, I really felt very sorry, but I still couldn't eat a bite.

You don’t know if you can experience this kind of feeling. All the pleasures in your world are nothing more than this. After we have experienced all the fun, we feel good now, but if you repeat it a few times, you will feel the suffering. If I don't think it is interesting, I will experience some real conditions, and of course I also have some experience of suffering in this world from childhood to adulthood, then this is part of the suffering.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Recognize that everything in front of you is false and unreal

In addition, it is not difficult for us to experience "impermanence" in our lives. In the process of interacting with friends, we will see that we often go out and have some friends, friends of friends, everyone gathers together, and the men regard us as It’s buddies and friends. If you have a girlfriend by yourself, of course your wife won’t know about it, but we will all know it. Don’t be taboo. Let’s play together. After we watch too much, we will see people’s impermanence. "People are unreliable.

They all look good. They are all small and medium-sized enterprises, and they look quite honest.
But nine out of ten people still secretly make girlfriends. This is a phenomenon that we often see in our lives. People's hearts are impermanent, and again and again, you will feel this impermanence in your heart before you know it. , Is to appear around us at any time, including ourselves and our hearts, you can be sure that you can love someone deeply in your life, do you not change your mind?I'm afraid it's difficult. As long as one person changes his heart, the other person must be very painful, so impermanence will also cause pain.

Especially once, probably in my early twenties, I finally encountered my own test, because it doesn’t count to see others. When I see myself encountering it, that’s my real experience. I’m probably in my twenties. When I met a member of the opposite sex, he looked a lot like Chow Yun-fat. I like Chow Yun-fat the most. I don’t worship idols but think that he is really very temperamental. Unlike the ordinary one, he is particularly stable.

Then I realized that this man was tempted for the first time. I felt tempted. I thought to myself, wow!So perfect. He is a billionaire. He is a billionaire and the same hometown as ours. The most important thing is that he can’t see it. He doesn’t look like the son of brother at all. So I say he is like Chow Yun-fat, Chow Yun-fat looks like It's very simple. It just so happens that we are all quite close to each other. We are introduced by friends. Many of our friends know and are common friends.

At the beginning, there were several times of contact, and I didn’t know it for a long time. I began to fantasize in my heart. You know we are very fantasizing in our twenties. I just wanted to marry him in the future, and this idea has already begun to arise. This is the first one, the first experience. When I had this idea, he officially invited me to have a meal at his house because he was very busy. The big entrepreneurs on Sunday paid me back on Sunday. To work, he had no time to pick me up, so he asked his driver to pick me up.

Then he went to his house to be a guest. When he got to his house, he was still busy, and there was the director of the company in his house. He was still signing checks. I think, one million or two million signed like this, and then I was there. Next to him, he said, "Excuse me, sit down and watch TV." While greeted, he was busy dealing with business affairs. Then I suddenly became alert at that time, wow!This is the person I want to marry, but if I marry him, he will be so busy in the future and ignore me, what should I do?This is an.

In other words, because we usually see that some men will make girlfriends, and the honest men will also make girlfriends. What if one day he also has an affair?I started to think a lot, because I had already thought about marrying him, so I started to think about it, thinking a lot, a lot, and finally, I went back after the meal, and he called after a few days. , I told him: "You don't come to me again in the future, we don't want to associate anymore."

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) The essence of illusion is suffering

I scared myself in just a few days. I don’t need to actually perform this scene. This performance is a lifetime thing. We can’t escape even if we want to, because we really meet a person we care about, and then we go. Think deeply. This is what we call "right thinking," and we can draw conclusions. We can almost see what the future will be like.

And I have observed that with my personality, I will definitely go crazy, and I absolutely cannot allow such a result to happen, my own personality problem, so I was thinking, no, this thing cannot be done, including ourselves, Can we guarantee that we will remain unchanged?Impossible, if your spouse, you were very good when you got married, don't smoke, don't drink, smoke, drink, gamble, play with women after marriage, wow!If it's different, will you still love him?

It is changing all the time, human affairs are changing, and human minds are also changing. This is impermanence.Have we experienced it deeply? I personally scared myself so deeply, and scared a prince charming away for nothing. Fortunately, I can look back in time, otherwise it will be endless, this It is the suffering that impermanence feels. Among them, the one that makes us feel the hardest hit, that is, the most helpless, and there is no way to solve the problem, is the "suffering".

At that time, I hadn't encountered the Dharma and I didn't know how to solve it. Think about it, the ideal marriage partner has also been lost. Isn't the most important thing for a woman to find a good husband?I can’t even walk this road anymore. I start to think a lot about how I will live in the next half of my life. Life is really hard, and then I have some experience of eating, drinking and playing, but I feel nothing. That kind of life is really miserable and boring. To the extreme, living is very meaningless, very empty.

Look, what are people doing in the world?Busy to make money, to make money and to enjoy, there is nothing left to be busy, I am not busy, I have played what I should play, I don’t think there is much, I don’t want to continue pursuing, and then I don’t have fun but I can do it What is it? I don’t expect to get married. It’s not reliable to take this road to rely on men, wow!It's miserable, how will I live in this life? So this kind of suffering, life has no goal, meaningless, hopeless kind of suffering, every day I have to face this kind of suffering with my eyes open. It's probably harder for this average person to experience this profoundly.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Only by awakening from the illusion can we realize that the world is suffering

One afternoon, the weather was very good. At that time, I still had a lot of money in my passbook, which was enough, but it was really boring like this, and then I didn’t know how to do it, so I ran to buy it for some reason. Forty sleeping pills, I didn't understand anything and didn't study Buddhism at that time, so I just wanted to say okay, just eat it!When I went to buy it, I made a joke. I told the boss that I bought forty sleeping pills. Before that, I had never taken sleeping pills and had nothing to tranquilize. I had never touched those things. I bought four. Ten.

Then the boss said, "Whether you want to buy the whole can is cheaper. When I heard it was silly, I actually had an idea about what to do, you know, the boss told me to buy the whole can, wow!"As for doing business, I also said that it is cheaper and you can save a little money. I was stupid on the spot. I said what kind of world this is. It's too ironic. Isn't he afraid that I am going to think about it?It's really like a farce, the kind of black joke that is very ironic, and it makes my heart really feel dark at the moment.

This world is not cute at all. The businessman wants to make money, and he doesn’t care whether you live or die. Then I’ll just buy a can, and I’ll buy a can and I will eat it. My mood at the time was just bored, impatient, what is it? I’ve experienced impatient life. There’s no excitement, no shock at all. It’s just too boring, so boring that I don’t want to spend it even if I have money, and I don’t want to spend it all. Nothing, that's it, just do it.

Then when I ate...I remember, the drink that I ate at that time seemed a bit expired and very disgusting. I still ate it. It can be seen that my heart is very firm and I am not afraid of death, but because I have never had this experience. , I don’t know if you eat forty, you won’t die, yeah!I was rescued, so my gastrointestinal tract was not very good later, maybe because of messing around before.

Friends who didn’t know what to do came to rescue me. They said that I was funny. When I was sent for gastrointestinal cleansing, I was still joking with the nurse: No, I’m just dizzy. I have a cold and dizziness. I know I’m ashamed. After doing this kind of thing, I was rescued, but I am a stranger, this is karma, inexplicably less than a week, I ate again, this time I ate all the rest, about XNUMX pills.

Really determined to do it is not a joke, no joke, no sadness, no sadness, there is nothing to worry about in the family, the grandmother is her, the children and grandchildren are full, and there is someone to take care of, I just did it like this, just want to stop Such boring days, day after day, this is the so-called emptiness, there is no goal in life, the second time I was rescued, I can’t die if I want to die.

After being saved, the whole person’s state of mind is different. If you want to die, you can’t die, you can’t survive, you can’t survive, it’s really in this state. Then you can't die, if you want to die, you can't die!After eating twice in a row, it was not for others to see. At that time, everything was exhausted. In the end, there was no way to end it. What did that state of mind become?The walking dead, the state of mind, the walking dead, boring to the extreme, that kind of mind just doesn't have too many thoughts.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Only by pressing renunciation can we honestly believe in Buddha

Do you know that after Fan Si Xun, don’t you meditate for three days and three nights without delusion?Then he was determined because he was destined, but he couldn't change it anyway, and there was no delusion to fight. I was in the same mood at the time, and I didn’t have any thoughts every day. This is called a zombie. It’s good to be alive, but you can’t die anyway. , Then it’s like that, there’s really no thoughts, no fun, no suffering, just no feeling. I used to feel very bitter and wanted to be relieved, but now I don’t feel anything, that’s it.

It was at this time that I encountered Buddhism. Before I encountered Buddhism, I had read some psychology and Confucianism. I also thought about how to enrich ourselves and let our lives produce some vitality. There was no way...until we encountered the Pure Land. No matter if it is true or not, I hope it is true anyway, so my renunciation is very real, so I don’t need to persuade it.

And just like Master Shandao said, telling us that if we think that we are sin karma, life and death, there is no other way to go. My mood was like this at the time. I hadn’t met Master Shandao’s teachings, and I knew that I felt There, anyway, we really have no way to go.Because I have tried every path. I can only rely on the world of bliss. I hope it is true. It is saved by Amitabha’s aspiration, so of course I will hold on tightly. This aspiration is true. .

We are like Master Shandao said that there is really no way to go. Few people can understand how many people can experience. If you really experience it, you will definitely not half-hearted.So I used to be a person who changed XNUMX bosses a year. I didn't have any interest in any industry. I didn't seem to be a person in this world. I didn't have any fun. I doubt it is my own uncertainty.It has been nearly XNUMX years since I encountered Buddhism and has been studying the Pure Land. I haven't wavered, and I haven't wavered with a single thought. So it's not because of my uncertainty, but because it doesn't correspond to the law of the world.

I have lived in such a short period of more than XNUMX years. At that time, some people would become addicted after a short period of time. I will not. This is also the cause of the past, so after the experience, I feel a little bit more real. It has no meaning, and the world is full of evil.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(Twenty-three) all dharmas are empty and inaccessible

Actually, I experienced this suffering when I was a child. I will mention another example. When I was in the third grade of elementary school when I was a child, I was about ten years old. I ran away from home for a day. At that time, I went to a classmate’s home to do my homework. I think At that time, I tasted a bit of "Samadhi". It is easy for children to appreciate that realm. They do their homework in a classmate’s house. The very quiet atmosphere is very engaged. As a result, the time passes quickly without knowing it, and it is more than going home without knowing it. Time is up.

When I went back, I was beaten up because my family members were also worried. I was beaten badly, not because I was abused. I felt wronged because of being disciplined. At the age of ten, I felt that the world was very miserable and I felt wronged. Well, so I ran away from home early the next morning. I didn’t bring anything and didn’t dare to find friends, so I hid in... our house is a temple next door. I hid behind the temple and hid in a straw pile for a day. .

When I got hungry in the evening, I heard the announcement from the temple: "Eh! So-and-so! Your family asked you to go home for dinner!", I went back quickly, and the curtain ended. No one knew that I ran away from home, but at that time When I was young, I already felt that I couldn’t stay at home. Generally, "home" is the port we rely on, right? The only place I can rely on is that I ran away from home. The children felt that the home was unreliable and wanted to escape. That kind of suffering, so this suffering is felt very deeply by yourself from a small moment.

So let’s talk about the "emptiness". We just talked about the part of "suffering, emptiness, impermanence, and non-self." This part of emptiness is more difficult for ordinary people to understand in life. Here we will also briefly talk about it, if we say We truly understand emptiness. The Buddha often mentioned in the Prajna Sutra and Prajna sutras that "all dharmas are empty." All dharma is empty after all. We have to experience this phenomenon by ourselves in our lives. It is not easy.

For example, all dharmas are empty, and all dharmas include people, things, and things, all of which are empty. That is obviously there. We can see it so clearly with our eyes. How can it be empty?Even if I tell you nothing, you won’t realize it. This part is very difficult, but if we can really appreciate this part, then you will be able to completely let go of it. The so-called attachment, our attachment is because we think we are talented. You will be clinging, if it is something empty, how can you cling to it.

In the Prajna classics, the "Heart Sutra" that we are generally familiar with, there is a paragraph in the Heart Sutra that says: "Lace is emptiness, emptiness is form, form is not also empty, emptiness is not also form, perception and consciousness are also the same." The physical form is emptiness, and the physical form is the "all phenomena" that we see, which is called form. The Buddha told us that all phenomena are emptiness.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(Twenty-four) all phases are karmic and coherent nature is empty

Why is it empty?Because it is selfless, how can it come about because of the harmony of all conditions. For example, in our Fa conference today, there are people who preach, people who listen to the scriptures, people who record videos, and there is a total set of facilities. Get up, so many causes and conditions are combined to form a Fa assembly, so this is called "dependent origination." This temporary phenomenon that arises from the gathering of causes and conditions seems to exist, but we will leave all of these after a while. Are there any more?No, it doesn't exist in the first place. It didn't exist here before we came. This is called "the original empty". The original face is empty, and our nature is empty.

The sixth ancestor Hui Neng pointed out that the present moment of "not thinking about good and not thinking about evil", "that" is our true face, which is originally empty, and there is no originally. Then why we see that there is because there are some causes and conditions that come together A temporary phenomenon, because it is only temporary, so the Buddhist scriptures have a noun called "wonderful existence", it is there, but it is "being" plus a "wonderfulness" because it is not really there, it is temporarily existing as if There is, so it is called "wonderful existence", "vacuum wonderful existence". It is said that existence is not true, so it is said that there is wonderful existence, then what is true, emptiness is real, "vacuum wonderful existence.

How do we experience emptiness?For example, that Buddha statue is empty in its physical nature. If we know that it is empty in physical nature, then we can see the nature and understand the mind. For example, if we see this Buddha image, we see that the Buddha image has an aspect, then how should we go? To appreciate its emptiness, because emptiness is invisible and formless, how can we experience this emptiness? When we experience it, we will understand the mind, and we will see that emptiness is called the clear mind, the clear mind that understands the nature of the mind. .

How to experience this emptiness, this Buddha statue, here is that "color is emptiness, emptiness is color" and "emptiness" is one with "color". Therefore, if we want to experience emptiness, we must experience it from this color, and color is one. Image, where is that emptiness?In this image, how do we experience it? It's this material. Does the Buddha image have an image? Only if there is an image, there will be a Buddha image there.

Then this Buddha statue must have a physical nature and a emptiness in it, just like we have a person, but we have a soul, and the soul can’t see it, but we know there is, if not, it’s a corpse, and the divine consciousness is gone. Only the corpse is left, so this is the principle that "formity is emptiness." Form and emptiness are one body, and there is emptiness in every substance.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(Twenty-five) Experience emptiness from the gathering and dispersion

For example, for this Buddha statue, this image is matter, it is physicality, then its emptiness is like its material. Without this material, how could it be made into a Buddha image, right, so where do we see emptiness? Sex, how to see the nature of the mind, and to see the emptiness in the "phase", then if we see the origin from the equanimity, we will see that this is all kinds of materials.

The gathering of various causes and conditions is called "seeing nature". From the aspect to see the body nature, this emptiness, this false existence, and the wonderful existence, that is, to see this truth and reality, this aspect is completely false. It's just that various causes and conditions are temporarily formed and formed by gathering. From the perspective of phase, if you come to see sex, this is called seeing sex. Therefore, seeing the sex with the mind is actually seeing through. There is no difference in emptiness. From this "being" To see this emptiness.

We see from the world of phenomena that everything is false and empty, and emptiness is the real state, and all dharma has no self-nature.If we can experience this real phenomenon, we accept it, and we experience it, then we are the people with a clear mind. Can everyone experience it?From this point of view, we can in our lives bit by bit, everything is fake, it is the gathering of causes and conditions.

For example, our bodies are also combined with the four elements to form "earth, water, fire, and wind." Then when these materials and these conditions are separated, they are gone. Wherever our people have gone, a person's life span is only short. In one hundred years, there are still people who live to be more than two hundred years old. At most, this is the case. Then after this period of time, the four major separations are gone, and there is no more. He returns to his original state of emptiness, nothingness, nothingness. This is the truth.

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Observe and experience emptiness from life 

So if we can see this emptiness in the realm of phenomena, everything is false, not real, will you still be clinging, in order to possess some things, these things will disappear after a hundred years Yes, including matter, including life, things that will disappear. Isn’t it funny to be attached to it?Including our children, our own life, it is originally an empty thing, not real.

If it is true, there is only a real world, in the world of bliss, it will always be true and will not change, that is called "true", you have it temporarily, you will have it after a while, if you see The truth is that everything is like this.

So in the Heart Sutra it is said that form is emptiness. The Blessed One directly tells us that this form is emptiness, and things that are emptiness don’t really exist. Where is the emptiness?Emptiness is form, and emptiness is in this materiality. The two are one. Without materiality, where are you going to find emptiness, there is no.

So the enlightened people say, where is this Buddha?It’s everywhere. Buddha-nature is emptiness. Wherever the Buddha is, it has emptiness in any materiality. We call it "dharma-nature." If we call it dharma-nature from a material point of view, we It is called Buddha-nature by itself. When we see this truth, we are the sage, the enlightened one, who sees the truth with our mind and our mind, and is enlightened.

This part is actually not difficult to understand. If you understand now and learn the truth of the truth that the Blessed One has revealed to us, you can also observe it in your life. It seemed like everyone got together very lively the other day. There is a real party, but after a few days, your impression is getting faint, and your memory is getting faint. Did it ever happen? It seems that there is and it doesn’t, so in fact it is not real at all. existing.

Only temporarily a cause and condition arises, so Buddhism talks about the retribution of cause, condition and effect. This condition is very important. Condition determines some conditions in the phenomenal world. For example, if there is a cause, there must be an effect, but you must have the condition mature and the condition is sufficient. You will have a result, a phenomenon, and these are what the Buddha told us: "the truth and reality of the world."

Respectful excerpt from disciple Yanmei (Master Renjing's compassionate review)

(XNUMX) Deeply understand the truth, naturally see through the void and let go 

If you can really see through, you will definitely let go. If you don’t let go, it means that you have not seen the truth of this world clearly. Only then will you be attached to this false existence, will create karma for it, will be nostalgic for this world, and will not immediately survive to bliss. The world, the world of bliss, is a real world, it is real, it is the realm of perfect and pure Buddha fruit land.

People who really see through, no one doesn’t want to die right away, and they must first send their loved ones’ children first, so that’s right. If you can’t generate this kind of cognition, it’s not self-deception, but it’s a kind of cognition from the bottom of your heart. You didn’t really see through, "Suffering, emptiness, impermanence, and no-self." You didn’t really feel deeply about these four types. You just need to feel a little bit about these four types. As Mrs. Vettich showed, it’s the deep feeling of suffering. .

Because she suffered a family change, this son wanted to kill his father and kill his mother. It was very painful to suffer from such a family change. The pain was so painful that she didn't want to stay for a moment. Then this kind of suffering is indeed everywhere in this world. It’s just whether you feel it, so we can comprehend every day from these four perspectives in our lives, helping us to really see through, to really let go, let go of the external matter, and even our various attachments to this body, We must really let go.

So what will happen to people who really let go. If you can become a monk, you will become a monk. You really don't want to be a monk. If you become a monk, you will change your status. You have endless hopes in the future.Because the world is fake, then play supernatural powers. If you want to play, of course you have to play a better role. You won't go to be a beggar, hey!Some people are just like that, the great virtue of Zen is not a beggar either.

After Lay Pang Yun was enlightened, all of his family’s property was thrown into the sea, because he was a manifestation of the great virtues of Zen, anyway, everything is empty, don’t even do good things, and then how to live, weave straw shoes to live, This is a manifestation of them. When they see emptiness, they won't be attached anymore, and can let go of everything immediately. Therefore, if we haven't seen it through, we must step up from these four aspects to come up with thinking and contemplation every day.

Okay, let’s study the part of today’s "Pure Land Adding Path" first. Thank you everyone, Amitabha!
