(XNUMX) Feel the change of Buddha's blessing

(This time, the drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Dear President Wang, be merciful, and honorable fellow practitioners of great virtue, good evening, Amitabha!Today is the last night of our study together here. In the past few days, it’s rare to see fellow practitioners from nearby schools taking turns to join us. Some chairpersons also came here in particular, indicating that our portal in the Johor Bahru area is gradually recommending ourselves. It's a little more open, especially today, our Gulai president and his wife all rushed back together.

Today is particularly extraordinary, because some of our fellow practitioners have devoted their minds to the three conversions and the five precepts, so because our dojo has changed to a new place and only performed the purification ritual a few days ago, there may be some fellow practitioners whose news is not so. Being wise, this depends on the predestined condition, and the predestined relationship with us is deep enough to catch up. Usually, we often hear that some fellow practitioners are our Fa conferences, and we only know the news after the lectures are over. So this really depends on the predestined relationship. Copies.It’s very rare for us to have a fellow practitioner present today. The reason for his three conversions to the five precepts today is also due to his motivation. This fellow practitioner is already an old fellow practitioner and has been studying Buddhism for more than XNUMX years. Receiving the five precepts, but this time you make an effort to receive the five precepts again.

We monks also have this precept. The fellow practitioner’s motivation, he told me, because he recently felt that the five precepts he requested and received in the past have not been implemented very well in his life. In fact, he can It’s not easy to perceive this way. This should be the blessing of Amitabha Buddha’s power, because this year, after this fellow practitioner came into contact with the thoughts of our Master Shandao’s Pure Land, he particularly felt this kind of induction with the Buddha and received Amitabha Buddha. Blessings.Then the person who really accepts it will really make a change like him, and be able to reflect on himself more, and then be able to improve this intensive study. Not only will it be motivated, but it will also be truly implemented. In this way, it is truly accepting the Buddha. The blessing of strength is not because of our discipline, and the threshold for learning is very low.As long as you believe that as long as you are willing to die, you can decide that there is no problem. It will not be easier and more relaxed afterwards because of the low threshold. If this is the case, there must be a problem. So this fellow practitioner, also do it for us. This is a very good demonstration. Not only did I ask for the Five Precepts this time, but it also made it possible for other people to have this predestined condition, so this merit is really unimaginable.

This is like a snowball, and it’s getting bigger and bigger. It’s not just the cause. In the past, it was probably last month. When I came to the town of Skudai, Johor Bahru, there were a total of XNUMX days of lectures. He also reported every day. It's all a natural reaction. People are veteran fellow practitioners and veterans for more than XNUMX years. Is it necessary to be so diligent like this?The ten-day lectures have not been closed for a day, have not stopped, and have not missed classes, so this time I specifically told him that you should not come for the five days. Take good care of the family and work hard at home. Fortunately, I told him not to come, because We already have a family, and we have to take care of it at home, but this is a good example for us. It is indeed the change that appears after a kind of touch from the heart, even if some people are single, Then we will simply start to become a monk. It will be more thorough. So our study today is mainly to continue the essence of the three-time system that we talked about yesterday.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Lianying

(XNUMX) The unique teaching methods of Zen Master Zhongfeng and Master Shandao

(This time, the drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Then there are two key points in the essence of the three-time system. One is the teaching of Zen Master Zhongfeng, and the other is the content of the Amitabha Sutra. Then I will leave a little time for everyone later. This precept has also been talked about a few days ago. , So we are now making subtitles among the discs we recorded in Muar more than half a month ago, and fellow initiates can watch them by themselves when they are circulating in the future.We also have a circulation about precepts, and the three conversions and five precepts taught by the old master should always be listened to. So today we will seize a little bit of time. We will focus on the key points in this Zen Master’s teachings, and we will study, and then finally carry out the three. The ritual of converting the Five Precepts, I won’t talk much about the precepts here.

Yesterday we talked about some of the key points in the first discourse. I also mentioned yesterday that I said that the scope of study with everyone that I proposed is different from the way that the old masters or other masters explained it word by word. I take the method of the essence, and the method of the essence, the scope I have selected, is all in terms of the facts, that is, after we have listened to it, we can really start and hold these teachings.

Then I won’t talk much about the exquisite realm that the Zen master has attained. The fellow practitioners who are more rooted and self-examined may have enlightenment after reading it a few times, but our Pure Land method really has to be achieved. This is to become a Buddha in a lifetime. , So if we have to rely on our own enlightenment is still very limited, just follow the teachings of our ancestors, and we rely XNUMX% on the blessings of Amitabha.In this way, our study is easy and stable, the achievement is quick, and the results are the most outstanding. Because many fellow practitioners have seen Zen Master Zhongfeng’s teachings, most of them are in a very high and wonderful state, so they will feel that this practice is his This teaching is different from the Pure Land Three Classics and even from Master Shandao. In fact, there is no difference. Why is it said that there is no difference?Because all theories must be more satisfactory from two aspects.One is from the self-nature, that is, from the rationality, and the other is from the aspect of the matter from the outside. The directors are the same. In reality, there must be something reasonable, and something must be reasonable, so we are careful. Looking at it, most of the essays will actually cover both aspects, so that it will be more complete.

It’s just that some focus more on the physical performance in this realm, just like Zen Master Zhongfeng, so it’s so difficult for most people to see!It’s so high-level, but in fact, when we look at it carefully, he also teaches us in terms of things. He is no different from Master Shandao, except that Master Shandao is pure and completely engaged in phases and directly teaches us how to do it, just like the Amitabha Sutra. In the same way, he doesn't tell you the advanced theory, but directly teaches us how to do what we want.In fact, this is the most straightforward. It doesn’t go around at all, and it’s the most essential. The Zen master’s discourse is a bit like Guanjing. The reason in the front of the Guanjing is that the sixteen views are because of the prayer of Mrs. Vettihi. , Asking the Blessed One to teach me thinking to teach me to experience, that is cultivation, because the sentient beings at that time did not know that there is a pure land method, so of course I generally want to say that cultivation is precept and concentration.

The Blessed One first followed Madame Vettihi’s request and told her that he had taught the sixteen insights, and in the last part of the circulation, he explained how Ananda and the participants in the meeting should accept this sutra. The method presented is straightforward and very simple. If you are engaged in physiognomy speaking, you can hold the name of the Buddha, if you hold the word, that is, hold the name of the Buddha of immeasurable life. Just one sentence is the focus of the entire meditation, the focus of practice. And it's that simple.How are you going to accept this sutra?The Blessed One explained to Ananda that the simple way to receive this sutra is to recite the Buddha well by name, but when most of us look at it, wow!The Buddhist scriptures talk about sixteen methods, which we can’t see with our eyes. Fortunately, the Patriarch’s great virtues point us out, and only the Patriarch’s great virtues are like Master Shandao’s fusion of Pure Land Sutras. It’s really true. Cheers to the Buddha.

Such a great virtue dared to speak such words, so that he could speak perfectly and cleanly. There were no contradictions in every aspect. He did not need to explain for a long time and directly taught us how to do it, and his tone was very positive. Even some other patriarchs did not treat us. The theory of the Pure Land Sutra, the ancestors of other sects, did not explain our theory of the Pure Land Economics very clearly, even a little bit deviation.

(XNUMX) The core practice of the Pure Pure Land Method

(This time, the drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

The masters of Shandao dare to directly talk about the ancient and modern times, and correct the teachings of those patriarchs. That is to say, the four-post book of Guanjing has been noted. This four-post book of Guanjing has been lost for more than a thousand years, although it has been lost in China for more than one thousand. It spread to Japan in the year, and to the present, the status of the ancient and the modern is affirmed and respected by the great virtues of the ancient and modern sects, so it is taught in a tone like him, although it only teaches directly on the matter. What do we do, but we really have to follow the teachings.He doesn’t explain so many theories to us, just like parents teaching their children, just tell you what to do, and you just do it. He doesn’t need to explain so many reasons to you, explain so many reasons, what the parents say It's definitely right, and you should just follow the teachings. I have to explain to you that it's not necessary for a long time!Master Shandao is instructing us with this attitude, and he is also fully sure.

Enlightened people dare to have this kind of tolerance, so today we have to learn the teachings of Zen Master Zhongfeng, and we have to be good at learning. If we are learning the Buddhist scriptures, then we will scare ourselves away, wow!I can't understand it at such a high level, so I have also cited some lectures on physiognomy in the past two days.In fact, we also learned some yesterday. From this teaching, we can see that he is no different from what Master Shandao said, because there is only one kind of true pure land practice, and there cannot be two. The core practice is also faithfulness. Yixing means that some people's faith and Yixing from other patriarchs explained him very well, relying entirely on their own strength. It really does not correspond to the original cherished wish of Amitabha Buddha.The forty-eight vows issued by Amitabha Buddha are to save the dead, evil, life and death, ordinary people, including the three evil ways. You can see that they are definitely not capable of practicing on their own. How can it be possible to open this special method and set the standard very high, so how can it be possible? Having saved the sentient beings in the ten directions, how could his wish be fulfilled, so it must be very simple, and there are three ways to be universally covered, and all sentient beings in the ten methods are perfect.

This is the purpose of Amitabha Buddha’s forty-eight vows. Since he has been fulfilled ten calamities ago, it must be a simple practice to fulfill his vows. In many ways, we truly correspond to Amitabha Buddha’s true core theory of this Pure Land Method. In the future, all the contradictions in the past include the contradictions explained by other patriarchs from the standpoint of self-reliance, and you naturally have the ability to distinguish them.Then we can't say that they are wrong, but because of their fundamental nature, they can cultivate like that and then go back!Personal freedom, personal karma!But in that way, two or three people are rare among XNUMX people. You have to be quite stable. At the end of the day, there are no innocent creditors. You can cope with it. Even if you can cope with it, it is really dangerous, so it’s okay. About two or three people out of XNUMX can go. That way, it doesn't really rely on the blessing of Amitabha's aspiration!It's no different from your other methods, anyway, it's still very hard on your own.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Lianying

(XNUMX) The relationship between Amitabha and us

(This time, the drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Let’s look at the second section of the discourse: “I’ll become a Buddha now. It’s too late for the Lord of Lebang. It’s more desirable. Regardless of when the reincarnation is gone.” These four sentences are Zhongfeng. The Zen master’s painstaking persuasion tells us the feelings of Amitabha Buddha, so I specifically cite this paragraph in order to let everyone experience Amitabha’s mood together. This is the key to helping us to further understand Amitabha.We have mentioned before that Amitabha is waiting by our side anytime and anywhere. He is very anxious. If you have seen our XNUMX vows, you will know from the previous speech, especially at the first and second vows. These most bitter sentient beings make these two wishes first, and then we can deeply understand Amitabha’s feelings and how anxious it is, just like when we talked about kinship, this is the kinship, advancement, and enhancement of kinship that Master Shandao talks about.

This is a relationship that other Buddhas do not have with us. Amitabha has these three relationships with us. Affinity means close relatives, relatives' relatives. The word “kissing” stands on a tree and sees each other. This is very vivid. Words, like a mother, this evening, the sun goes down and I haven't seen the child come back very anxiously. Then Ligen Limu is standing high on the tree and looking at it.Damn!Why the child hasn’t come back? This kind of relationship shows this feeling. The relationship between Amitabha Buddha and us is more ardent than the mother’s caring for our children. Therefore, we are now in constant reincarnation. After so long, we still don’t know how to look back quickly, so this section of Zen Master Zhongfeng Of course he can understand it, so he advised us to become a Buddha now, because it is too late for Amitabha, and he has been waiting for us for a long time.

Do you feel that there is a Buddha waiting for us every day, and we still feel like a person is lonely and no one cares about us all day long, and we can’t see the truth at all, just like many runaways now? Teenagers, even in elementary schools, ran away from home and became gangsters. The gangsters have a meal without a meal. It is inevitable that sometimes they feel depressed and feel very pitiful. In fact, are they really pitiful? No!My parents are very anxious at home!These young people can’t realize that kind of mood, so both sides are suffering. As long as we turn around and experience the mood of Buddha Amitabha, he is really a Buddha born by words, not in the portrait, although it is said that the self-nature Amitabha is pure land. .Amitabha Buddha is the Buddha in our own nature, but the Buddha in this self really appears in the Western Paradise, and is also a Buddha born of words. He really cares about us and is anxious for us with his heart. His mood is indeed like this. If we really look back and realize this, our destiny will change throughout our life.

If it’s my personality, I’m like this. Right now, I can make my mind and body to become a monk, and even entrust my life to the arrangement of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Induction with Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, in this way, in our lives, we will find the true and correct direction, and it will be very fulfilling.You will happily move towards this goal. Of course, you will let go of the moment thoroughly. Many people have changed one hundred and eighty degrees. Is this difficult?Not difficult!Only in one thought, so we have to learn, we must lock in this range and often go to Xunxiu to experience it.

This range means to experience the relationship between Amitabha and us from all aspects, instead of asking you to read the Prajna Sutra again when you have nothing to do, telling you that everything is illusion and empty, nothing, wow!Amitabha is gone, so you are not asking for trouble and hitting yourself. Is there or not?There is or is not right, and there is no difference in emptiness, but this is another level of realm, and we don't realize it now.We start from practicing the Pure Land method, that is, we enter from the door. The more you are attached to Amitabha, the better, and it is true or not. There is a paradise and Amitabha, so we must lock in this direction and constantly in our daily life. Or in the sutras, in this area of ​​sutras, you continue to strengthen your relationship with Amitabha, just like you want to talk about love, you want to marry someone home, you have to communicate with her often every day, and become more and more familiar with it. Finally moved by you and married home.

You still have to work hard! Okay! We just want to keep closer to Amitabha, we can truly understand the relationship between his heart and us more and more. We are not unmoved!The xinxing will be completely softened, and I feel very happy every day. It turns out that I am not an orphan.It turns out that in this world of ours, you see that the world is full of turbulent causes and conditions, and there is nowhere to escape. It seems that there will never be a day of liberation. But when we feel that it is different from Amitabha, not only will there be places in the future, but also a lifetime. Become a Buddha, and now...you will no longer feel the suffering of the suffering in this world. The heart that arises is just hoping to replace Amitabha to repay the grace, to be able to do more things instead of Amitabha, to save some sentient beings and let them follow us. You can also get away from suffering as soon as possible. Just do this and you will be busy, and there will be time for troubles.

(XNUMX) How to see through, let go of your heart and seek pure land

(This time, the drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

There is nothing to care about in this world. Once you come to the world of bliss, you will get what you want, everything will be done, and there will be nothing to care about. There are Qibao all over the ground, and you don’t want to take it home. trouble!There is nothing to worry about, now one or two houses are all day long...like my mother does too, oops!It is simply a housekeeping slave. After buying a house for one house, he stopped going out, and almost never went out. He stayed in that house. This sentient being is very pitiful.There is nothing in this world that is worthy of our embarrassment or concern. There will be some things that should be there, and those that should disappear will naturally disappear. Why should we put our heart in our hearts, so we have to really appreciate the heart of Amitabha , I died earlier, so I also tell my children and parents directly that you should also teach your children to make a wish as soon as possible.

Some people say jokingly, oh!Master Renjing specializes in teaching people to die. When I see a child, I also ask people to die. I told his parents if it’s good. You have to run first. You have to go first. Don’t care about your child. The coffin is pretending to be dead. You don't pretend to be an old man, you don't wait until you are old before you die. You don't plan a future with him first.Everyone has equal opportunities in the Elysium, and everyone has the right. It is not until he has suffered so much in this world to persuade him to survive in the Elysium. If he can really go early, what is a pity, Mrs. Vettich gave birth. The Blessed One died in seven days, alas!No matter how you give birth to a child and you die, the world’s people’s concept is that people actually go to heaven to enjoy the blessings. What’s so good about this world? As a Buddha, you’ll be rewarded immediately, and the debt will be paid off in seven days, so some children Ah, I passed away at a very young age or what was an accident. In fact, parents don’t need to be too sad. It is not necessarily a bad thing for a child. The real bad thing is not knowing where to go?

There is no chance to hear the Buddha's name introduce this method. That one is really pitiful and hesitated. Usually it goes to the three evil ways, and it is not easy to get the human body. Therefore, the Zen master said that the one who is more desirable is the one who is still learning. This learns the miscellaneous miscellaneous studies that reciting poems and composing the right ones, and the knowledge of the world is enough.You always have to learn what you should learn in your field of expertise. Don’t be greedy. Like Su Dongpo, the great Buddhist scholar, Tan Kong said that he doesn’t sleep at night, but he doesn’t have any effort at all. When I met that Zen master, I forgot what he was called, and I was a good friend with him. It's also fighting back and forth. I didn't hit Jiang with a fart. I didn't have any effort. I would get angry and get angry immediately. Learning so much is useless. Even Buddhism doesn't need to be miscellaneous, not to mention the knowledge of the world.What is more is to talk about some general knowledge, the knowledge of the world, and when the reincarnation is gone, doing this is just continuous reincarnation, even if it is the good law of the world, don’t be greedy, just do whatever you want, and the real thing is to cultivate. The transcendental law also requires the cultivation of blessings and generosity. The mentality of cultivating the transcendental law is different from the mentality of the transcendental law, and the retribution is different.

What is transcendental law?Just don’t ask for rewards, don’t ask for rewards, I won’t want me to come here again in my next life to enjoy the blessings, to enjoy the rewards. The Bodhisattva does not ask for rewards, nor does he want to enjoy the blessings. The Three Realms!I didn't even say in my heart, oops!How many charities I have done, still waiting for others to return.To tell the truth, people report that we have to think about how tired we are. If we think about it, we will feel tired. Enjoying happiness is also very tired. It is really like this. When you are an Arahant, he eats one meal a week and offers two Buddhas. Eating one meal a week, no other things outside of the body are needed, it really feels cumbersome.

After I became a monk, of course, I did it at that time. I didn’t touch the money ring and came in order for many years. It can be said that I am close to three clothes and one bowl. I often travel abroad, but there are one or two suitcases, but most of them are magic weapons, very comfortable. Otherwise, you often run a lot of luggage abroad, what should I do?There is no place to put it.This year, a small abode was settled down because I was too old to run, and I couldn’t run anymore. There was a little thing that was needed in the permanent residence. They were all delivered by others. I was thinking, oops!I have to worry about how to deal with this in the future. On the contrary, I find it very troublesome. There are more and more things, so I have to cultivate... Regardless of the cultivation of blessings and wisdom, we must use the heart of the world. That is real merit, real freedom, this way. It won't... Even if we have created too much karma in the world, no matter how much it does not prevent us from leaving the Three Realms, the so-called karma of course refers to good karma.

(XNUMX) Only when you truly recite the Buddha can you talk about practice

(This time, the drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

it is good!Look at the next paragraph: "You won't return if you don't return. Who can fight for the smoke scenes of the five lakes. The golden arm often hangs day and night. Only pedestrians are allowed to commit themselves. Bai Yuhao is not ignorant in the past and the present. It is all based on the wish." The teaching means that no one can take away from the Paradise of Elysium, as long as we are willing to return to the hometown of our own nature, which is revealed from our nature, everyone has it, for fear that we will not go back and will not go home, and we will be really tired of playing outside. , The Six Paths of Reincarnation has been a long time... Tired!As long as you turn around, you can go home and you will be there immediately. No one is vying to go.This independent committee is about returning to life and relying on it. As long as we are willing to rely on Amitabha, we can obtain all the forty-eight aspirations and virtues that he has issued for us. From the name, we can receive all of them through this medium, so We must know that if we usually encounter any disasters, accidents, and anxiety that cannot be resolved, we can handle them satisfactorily by using this name, because it contains immeasurable merits, and we are afraid that we will not have confidence. Without confidence, of course there is no way to sense it.The Baiyuhao mentioned here refers to the light of the Buddha. The ancient and the present are not ignorant. It is all based on the wish. That is, the Baiyuhao refers to the light of the Buddha. It has been illuminating the ten directions from ancient times to the present. This means that Amitabha is always by our side. If we really want to return to the hometown of bliss, as long as we make a vow, the one who accepts it, as long as we make a vow, you see, it still lies with us! He didn’t say... Zen Master Zhongfeng didn’t say that you have to attain his realm in order to live and live Realizing a pure land of bliss in the self, no!He didn't tell us to cultivate like this!right?He said that it is all based on wishes, and you can get it as long as you want it.

Look at the third-time teaching: "Ancient humanity. The clear pearl was cast into the muddy water. The muddy water had to be cleared. The Buddha's name was cast into the chaotic mind, and the chaotic mind had to be the Buddha." The fellow practitioners are no strangers to this sentence. It refers to the Buddha's name. The greed, anger, ignorance and ignorance of our sentient beings are like a cup of muddy water, so when we recite the Buddha, the whole pearl is transparent and very pure.The muddy water couldn't penetrate in when it was just thrown in, so as long as there is a Buddha's name, it appears pure, so the more we recite the Buddha, the better, the muddy water will have nowhere to go... There is no place to stand, use this The method is straightforward. If other methods do not work, what other methods?It is eighty-four thousand dharma, and you can learn it by yourself, so Zen says that you should cultivate after enlightenment.Really relying on self-cultivation means that after enlightenment, greed, anger, ignorance and ignorance can be purified by itself, just like our cup of turbid water. The ink in this cup must be washed first. This time it means enlightenment. At that time, you will pour Dharma water into it. Then we have enough greed, hatred and ignorance. Even if you pour more water into it, it’s useless. The water inside is still as dark as ink. Except for chanting this Buddha sign, we all cultivate other methods. No, it is indeed the case, it is the so-called root!If you don't have this root, how can you grow flowers and fruits, then the Fa can be absorbed only after it is completely purified, and then we can become a Dharma artifact, so it is not easy to practice by ourselves.

Ordinary people... The old monk Guangqin also said that lay priests can’t talk about cultivation at all. It’s not bad to recite the Buddha and cultivate blessings. It’s not that expectations are low, but that this is a fact. It is impossible to do real cultivation. , I can barely say that the practice is from being a monk in the Sangha. Under such a standard, it is called true practice. So we also mentioned that two days ago, wow!This leader, especially like the president, is best to go to become a monk, at least for a short period of time to exercise and exercise, to truly experience the life of a monk, and ensure that you will be respectful of the Three Jewels.Besides, it is very important that you know how to protect the Dharma correctly.I think this approach is the most straightforward, otherwise you won’t know how to lead the crowd for a long time. Leading the crowd is not that simple, and the sentient beings are not so good. Anyway, a man can be a monk seven times!If you go to exercise and go back to the vulgar, there are still many opportunities. For example, in Thailand, it is common for men to become a monk for three months, at least!Damn!This is very difficult to experience. You see, the world is full of pollution, and even the school education is not very clean. Then those of us who really want to learn should go there to learn, especially moral education. Only the Sangha is the only ethical education. Maybe there are other religions too. It’s not clear, but the educational environment in our Sangha is really perfect and strict.The so-called ethics is really... uh!It should be said that compared with the world law, the various educational institutions in the world have done more thoroughly. Our monks follow the precepts, and those who are high in precepts, of course, have higher generations and greater rights. They receive the precepts for the same year, like I was the first to enter the altar, the first altar, and all the following ones are under my hands. This generation has clear ethics and is implemented in life.

Everyone talks about the rules. Of course, the seniors shouldn’t mess around. They should also follow the precepts to learn with everyone. The juniors will truly respect the seniors in their hearts. This can be truly implemented in life and can be seen in society. It’s upside down. Dutiful sons are filial sons, and parents are filial to their sons. It just happens to be upside down. Now that the teacher is fawning on the students, I am afraid that the parents are unhappy. The children go back and sue the parents for their unhappy.Then naturally we can’t learn anything, and there is no way to practice. Practice is to correct our own habits. Even if no one dares to tell you how you change, you can’t see it. So if you have the opportunity to practice in the Sangha, that’s it. What a blessing.

Some people are willing to talk about our precepts, our bhikshuni’s precepts, we have to talk about faults between our colleagues, and there are methods to persuade us three times in private. We don’t persuade us to have faults, and our colleagues have the obligation to persuade each other. , Then what is right and wrong, of course, according to the standard of the precepts, it is not right or wrong if you think it is right, so people are not convinced, not convinced!So fortunately, we really have a special method in our lives that depends on the Buddha's name, so any problem can be solved.If you truly recite the Buddha honestly, you can also talk about practice. This is called Dao Miao, I don’t know the truth. Anyway, you just say one sentence after another. Every Buddha sign has this power and has this effect. This can also be regarded as practice. It depends on Amitabha Buddha. The blessing is in the practice.

(XNUMX) How to take six pure thoughts one after another

(This time, the drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Look at another paragraph: "When the arrogant mind is chaotic. You can lift up a thought. Like to benevolent. Set the six-character red name. One by one mouth enters the ear. Then this chaos. Naturally silent with the thought. One thought. And to ten thoughts . Even the thoughts are not shifted. That is, the so-called pure thoughts in the teaching are also the ones who succeed." This paragraph is the Zen master’s teaching us how to deal with our delusions.

We really have delusions, just like I have been specializing in Pure Land for fifteen years. Of course, we all follow this Buddha name, regardless of whether we follow the Buddha name or other practices. It is true that we still see a lot of thoughts every day, but now We understand that the thoughts have not decreased, but one big difference is that these thoughts are gradually purified, and they gradually change from more evil thoughts to more good thoughts, and from more good thoughts to more pure thoughts. This is the change. , So we must not want to say, oops!I recite the Buddha or I practice precepts and meditation. The purpose is to abandon our delusions. If you abandon you, you will become a vegetable, a wood, and troubles are bodhi.

We also become Buddhas relying on our thoughts. If you don't have a heart, you will become dead!So we don’t care about practicing Kungfu and reciting Buddhism. How should we treat this delusion and get along with him in peace. We absolutely cannot say that I will fight with him because I want to practice Kungfu. You really hate this delusion, so many, I’ll be one by one. To kill you, many fellow practitioners are like this. They think that vain thoughts should be treated through reciting the Buddha, or through other insights and meditations to conquer it. You see what we usually talk about, To stay down or to break off, in fact, the term is quite scary. It should be to accept it. He is ourselves. There is no difference between good and evil, and there is no true and false distinction. It is we who make the distinction.

When we accept orders from him and accept all good people and bad people, you will find that the world is peaceful, but it is not easy to be able to do this. You need to be quite deep in the teachings, and you will understand the truth more after you understand the truth. How to deal with this delusion, now the easiest way for us is generally when the delusion comes together, our ancestor taught us to be able to lift a thought.For example, when we chant this Buddha name to reduce our delusions and distracting thoughts, and when we can subdue our troubles, we can also... This Zen master told us, as for the compassion, imagine that Amitabha is here. Among the names, this power is great and very real!

We have said before that Amitabha actually lives in this Buddha name. This Buddha name is his soul, his life, and his entire life. He uses the Buddha name as a medium to contact us. This is a fact, so this name corresponds to our name. It’s not the same. Our name represents sinful ordinary people, as well as some common nouns, cold names, but this Buddha name has the most complete spirituality. The so-called Wande, Wandehong name, He is talking and It is boundless, if we despise him, we don't know it has this effect, then of course it won't work.

This person is Li Jinyou, but if you see that he doesn't know him or even look down on him, then of course he can't help you, right?We need to get to know him before we can get the blessings. According to the six-character red name, this is no stranger to our fellow practitioners. The great virtues of the Patriarch taught us to hold on to this name. When we recite it, we will be clear. Then you hear it in your ears, from your heart, from your mouth, from your ears, and then put it on your heart. This way, the heart of good and evil will naturally be in the middle of one thought after another, and it will naturally calm down. This is the so-called pure thought successively. .

Then, we have to realize the continuity of pure thoughts. In the past, we all knew that one sentence after another would be right, but in fact, many practitioners didn’t feel the sentence after another sentence, or they always saw delusional thoughts and got annoyed. It hasn’t diminished, because the heart is waiting for the achievement of his own kung fu, whether there is a sense of gain or loss, and I can’t feel the power of the words of this name, just like the Zen master said to be kind to you. Respect, only by reciting in this way can you develop dharma happiness and receive blessings. Only with this kind of meditation, joyful thoughts, can you achieve the succession of pure thoughts. It is not that you can purify thoughts after one sentence. , You still have to know how to use your heart, people who really know how to use your heart!

That is, you read every sentence very happily, and you miss it spontaneously and willingly. If you want to find time to read, it is very difficult for you to read each sentence. It is difficult for you to not want to read it. So how do you achieve it?Try to think of ways to make us like to recite this Buddha name, and feel intimacy with Amitabha Buddha, and first have a sense of intimacy, and develop respect for the merits of this name. This kind of need to ask for this kind of heart, you will naturally enter this state.If like we used to think, oops!Sentence after sentence is right. Yes, everyone knows that the problem is that he is still very troubled in reading and cannot be happy. This is because the pre-work has not been done well. You have to get familiar with Amitabha first, and make a good relationship first. I can really understand this passage. This is how the Zen master teaches us how to subdue, that is, how to deal with when the delusion is confused and the troubles are present. Of course, he uses this six-character hongming method to praise. He also teaches us to praise. He is not called. Let's go to observe the self-nature Amitabha, no!It is still called reciting the name of Buddha.

If you really learn this paragraph, you will also achieve Consummation in the Yuantong Chapter. The Yuantong Chapter talks about taking six faculties and purifying thoughts one after another. We also have fellow practitioners. After he really sensed that, he took six faculties and suddenly cultivated. For so long, he couldn’t take these six roots one by one, but suddenly he felt that the six roots were taken away, and once asked me whether my feeling like this was right or wrong. I said it was inevitable and right. , Because our hearts are held down and stable!We sensed Amitabha's...faith in Him.

We also know the practice of this method, and you will have confidence in the rebirth. The heart is held down, the stone in the heart is put down, and the real stability. That kind of stability will naturally let your six senses condense, and you don’t want to or do not want to ask you to go to miscellaneous practice. Look east and west, listen east and west, your six faculties will naturally come back. This is the blessing of Buddha power, an inevitable phenomenon, and you will naturally like to recite the Buddha, so you will do it as well. After graduation, if you rely on your own, fellow practitioners will still be the same for decades.Maybe in the past two years, I have been working hard in retreat. It seems that there are two retreats. One is out, two of them are gone, and the other six are not retreated. It’s not easy. Yes, if you retreat, just silence. One root and the eyes don’t look around, anyway, you’re shutting down. It’s possible to use this kind of deadly effort to temporarily stay down. You are facing the realm...What kind of habit is going wrong again, and the six roots are not honest. , So that useless, there is no way to truly make us become Buddhas, and the pure land method can be consummated.

(XNUMX) How to learn the purest pure land method

(This time, the drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Let's look at another paragraph: "Those who recite Buddha. They need faith and earnestness, just because they are awe-inspiring. It is sad to recite the cycle of life and death. Too much trouble is painful. Lifting up a Buddha's name is no different."

it is good!This paragraph also tells us what kind of mood we should use to practice this method, to recite this name, to be faithful and sincere. It just taught us how to deal with this thought. This is for us to bring up righteous thoughts, especially in Confidence must be very sincere, so whether we can practice learning to generate Dharma joy in our daily life, and like to recite this Buddha sign, the main reason is that our faith must be strengthened and continuously improved, so that we have more confidence in Amitabha.

The more stable you are in your daily life, the more joyful you are. How can you develop confidence and earnestness?The Zen master told us that we should always visualize and see the reincarnation of our lives. It is really sad. We are still being human. Being a human being is actually a shameful thing. Love is not heavy or not be born. Oh, it is all this kind of greed. Love, this love is not pure love, this love is called lust, not pure love, not the great love of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, so as a person, you should be ashamed, unless you come again with a wish, you can ignore it. He must always see this fact.

Don’t think that some people are very rich, handsome, and beautiful. Wow!This life is very good as a human being, but it’s all wrong. As long as it’s a sad thing to be a human being, the Zen Master wants to persuade us to often let ourselves be disgusted with this sannyasin, and disgust and renunciation often arise in the dust. This is the practice of suffering. This kind of feeling has been felt for a long time. The suffering, bad suffering, and suffering that our Blessed One talks about, sum up the suffering in this world, there are three sufferings and eight sufferings. From the perspective of the three sufferings, they are suffering, suffering, and suffering. Suffering is The so-called eight sufferings, birth, old age, sickness, and death, love separation, resentment, unwillingness, five Yin blazing.The eight sufferings are collectively referred to as suffering within the category of suffering, that is, their essence is suffering, so they are called suffering. The bad suffering is like happiness, but it will become bad, so it is called bad suffering, so the world is pure suffering without happiness. what!The so-called happiness is called bad suffering, not true happiness. There is nothing that will not change, so it is called bad suffering. Another person who does suffering will not feel it. I felt it very early, and I felt it in my teens. To, why?My country ran away from home at the age of ten when I was young. Why did I run away from home? Of course I feel very bitter!Elementary school is ten years old, good!After I grow up, of course I am in the Mood for Love. I am beautiful and generous with long hair. Many people pursue it. Of course, I have a very happy life, and my family still has a little blessing, so my life is pretty smooth. I have also enjoyed some blessings, but the experience of this whole process has never caused me a kind of greed and greed, so I really did not do good work in the past. I did not really do a job in the world because I did not have great interests, including If I want to make business money, I want this thing. I don't think it is necessary, and I think it's a waste.

You ask me to ask someone to buy it, but I can’t speak, so naturally it doesn’t respond. For the world’s things like pleasure, vacation, staying in a big restaurant, good food and good drink, I feel that it’s good right now, but It does not give rise to a kind of greed, and want to continue to indulge in that mood, no!On the contrary, what I felt was a kind of suffering, that is, oh, I wake up every day and spend the day like this, eat, work, play, and sleep. Day after day, it's natural that everything goes smoothly, and life is pretty good.I feel like being single from a young age. This appearance seems to be like this. It’s since I was a teenager, but... I haven’t really been happy before. I reflect on and observe myself. Really... That kind of happiness is just the moment when you are exposed to things. Fresh, normal... Young people are curious about everything, but that is not real happiness.On the contrary, what often arises every day is a repetitive circulation, which is suffering, which is very tired!So I feel like my teens and twenties are in this world, more so than all of society. After seeing through a circle, only a few years later, I feel so boring, so boring, and boring, and I’m very lucky. , I can't live worse than Wang Yongqing, eat better than him, and use no worse than him.

We, Wang Yongqing from Taiwan, do you know?Probably above Li Jinyou in Malaysia!It shouldn't be worse. He is very diligent. We spend as much money as we have. It's not at all polite, but I don't think there is any special fun. This is not because I am more powerful than Tone, no!But the essence of this world is anything, and its essence is suffering, so we don’t feel the so-called true happiness, but we can experience suffering. This is the truth, and then we can think about it for an instant. The thoughts of being also constantly arise and die.

The old monk rushed to return to the birth and death in the source view. How many births and deaths are in one second, billions. Maitreya Bodhisattva is a knowledge-only expert. They are specifically studying the birth and death of these thoughts. The birth and death of one second is unimaginable. Come on, come and go in an instant, this is suffering, so tired, wow!Birth and death, I feel very tired just thinking about it. I don’t know if you feel it. This is suffering.The life and death of our reincarnation from life to life is also suffering. The birth and death of thought is also the birth and death of the thought. From the perspective of thought, it is also birth and death. It is all reincarnation. Then naturally, I really want to yearn for the kind of bliss and inaction. Nirvana, the state of inaction, the kind of extreme annihilation, I really want to...I feel that I really want to live in that state is very enjoyable, very peaceful and then very relaxed.

The old monk talked about our delusions...Why do we eat so much and need so much food? Because delusions are so many, so we have to consume a lot of this calorie. In fact, more than XNUMX% of us are actually consumed by delusions, so delusions are very unpleasant. Tired things, if we have less thoughts, you will naturally feel light and relaxed, so I feel that we naturally want to pursue this pursuit in life and experience, oh! If there is less delusion How good, this is intuition, you will feel that less delusion will make us more physically and mentally happy.

Let’s take a closer look. If we have a lot of desires, oh how much money I want to make, I want to want that, if you just think about it, you will feel that your thoughts will cause your body to be very tired. Your body will become worse, and then the whole person, when you think about it, it seems very enjoyable, you think very well, if you want this and want that, after you think about it, you check and see, your physical strength is almost exhausted, you go and do it Doing experiments, so we are really pursuing a kind of purity and inaction, and the realm of a real Buddha is not like an Arahant. I don’t have any thoughts anymore, no!If you live in Duan Mie Kong, it is no different from the living dead. The Buddha's realm is still and constant, and the stillness is the same. The heart is empty, without many thoughts, but he can still work.

This photo is his light, wisdom, and supernatural powers, which can save sentient beings by shining all over the ten ways, wow!It's really wonderful, although he is not tired because he does it and doesn't do it, and his heart is still quiet, wow!This state is so great, and it feels really light and peaceful just to think about it, so our Zen master is to guide us, we must always observe our reality, the sadness of the various reincarnations in this world, and then persuade us to dislike all kinds of things in this world. Disturbances, and then the faith in the departed life should be constantly earnest, and bring up this earnest heart.

This is about the three-time system of thoughts. In each of the three-times, there are some examples. The enlightenment on matters helps us to learn the Pure Land Method, to interact with Amitabha Buddha, and also to teach us how to use it. Let’s make a sentence to help us subdue our delusions. Now because the time is almost the same, we won’t talk about the essentials of the Amitabha Sutra. We have to preach the Three Conversions and Five Precepts, because we have recorded the CD, so we can watch it by ourselves when we have the opportunity in the future.Then fellow practitioners who are going to participate in the Three Conversions and Five Precepts, please come to the front.
