(One)Impermanence is the fate of enlightenment

 (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 fellow practitioners, good evening, Amitabha!

Thank you very much for the enthusiastic arrangement of the Dongfa Lay, and also thank the Dharma Dharma of our Singapore Youth Propaganda Group for your assistance, and of course also thank all of us Bodhisattva Lays here today!The attendance was very enthusiastic. Maybe everyone was originally prepared to participate in the first Buddha one, and they all signed up. I will explain this cause and condition to you later. Today's change in this cause and condition also taught me a lesson, that lesson ?Impermanence.

Impermanence is performed by our side at any time. It's just to see how our hearts perceive impermanence. This is a very good course. If we really understand it, we can be considered enlightened from a certain angle!You see, such a good cause can also help us to enlighten. If we don’t know how to use our heart, we will think, alas!Why did it happen? I finally asked for leave, and then I was looking forward to it for so long that there was a rare meditation conference, the Buddha's first Fa conference was so ruined.

Damn!At the beginning, we have troubles again. Originally, we practiced for happiness and liberation. As a result, because of the various changes in causes and conditions in the dojo, oh!Worries are heavier, as is usual!Some fellow practitioners went to the dojo to practice together. One moment for this little thing, one moment for some changes in the operation, they became troubled. They didn't know how to use their minds and didn't know how to practice. Then who would suffer in the end?Own!

Oh!So if we know how to use various causes and conditions to experience different courses, we will have the opportunity to enlighten at any time. Therefore, from the perspective of this and this Fa, I think this is a good thing, and I am also a little more relaxed. If it is to take the Buddha one, it is taken from morning to night, and now we only need an hour and a half to get off work.

You are very comfortable sitting over there, I am very nervous here, why is it so nervous?Some people say, oops!Isn't Master Renjing still nervous after giving lectures for more than ten years?Let me report to you that today our guardian of the Dharma gave me this topic. It is also a test for me. I have been a monk and have studied Buddhism for almost XNUMX years. I have made friends and have never met, but what do I think?I am also very grateful that if there are no such great virtues as our guardians to open this topic with me, and this test question is given to me, then I will not have a karma to form a relationship with the Medicine Master Buddha, so I also cherish it, but it is because of the comparison in the past. There is no friendship, so if the introduction of our Pharmacist Buddha Tathagata is not detailed enough, please bear with me.

it is good!Well, I see many old fellow practitioners here, who look very kind, so I think today's cause and fate are also a rare opportunity for our gathering. When was the last time we met? It's been a year!What happened last year, oh!Last year, because we formed a Dharma predestined here last year, everyone was very happy, and some of the new practitioners who were spreading the Dharma here also signed up for the first Buddha one.

So, originally, we wanted to say that it’s best to continue this karmic condition. It’s not just our old fellow practitioners on Facebook. We can have a very solemn dojo where we meet regularly for meditation. At the same time, we can also take care of it. These members of our propaganda group are just new practitioners to me!

Of course, this is ideal for these newly formed cultivators, but if the cause is not mature, the same is true. Just like the principle we just talked about, we also treat it with joy and give us a kind of realization and education, so maybe , You see my eyes are wide open today, alas!Maybe, after seeing you this time, I don't know when I will come next time. Really impermanence is like this.

This impermanence, it’s hard to tell if you don’t see each other. There are many factors. There may not be a good destiny, or a good destiny. Maybe I will die tomorrow, because it is more dangerous for me to fly. It's hard to say, this is all impermanence, but what?As long as I...I believe that as long as I have the opportunity, I will cherish the Dharma predestined with fellow practitioners in Singapore, but if we can continue to mature and maintain the relationship with the fellow practitioners in Singapore, I will leave this to the Bodhisattva.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Lianying

(two)Adhere to the Buddha's teachings and propagate the Dharma without talking about transactions 

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

In the sutras, we see that each sutra has six kinds of achievements at the beginning, and one sutra is the Buddha's preaching!The Fa conference that teaches the Scriptures must have six causes. Those who want to teach the Fa and those who want to listen to the Fa, so you all have merit when you come to listen to the Fa.

Then none of you come to listen to me alone, you can’t tell it to the camera, you have to have a venue, and the law protector is very hard to arrange, all of these must have at least six factors to be sufficient, so our gathering, although Just an hour and a half is very rare, and it takes great blessings to participate in such a special puja together. Therefore, on the one hand, we are grateful and cherish fate, and look forward to the continued continuation of this fate. , But if there is no such predestined condition, it does not matter if the blessing is not enough and the predestined condition is not mature enough!We can go online, and I will continue to teach on Facebook, then I believe that, on our side, in fact, everyone is very close to the Fa. It’s the second time to come these days, and the fellow practitioners of the Propaganda Group here are also very good. Support, I am also very grateful to them.

But why this time the Buddha will be cancelled?The main problem is also the system, the system, because the last time we came... we held a fa conference for lectures, just like tonight, there will be no problem, but if the Buddha is one, we will practice together in one day. , That involves some of the past practices that they operate, and some of the practices in the system.

Well, I actually don’t understand this aspect, because my lord has been a monk to preach the Dharma for more than ten years. From the standpoint of a monk, we must follow the precepts given by the Buddha. We absolutely don’t talk about it. Transaction, no price, so I don’t have a public account on Facebook anywhere.Some people want to protect me and still ask for a long time. Master asks you to give me the account. After I have checked it, I know that it is for the sake of the Fa. You are for this reason for cultivating the correct cause for yourself and protecting the Three Jewels. Will give, because if you don’t give it, you can’t do horns. This is stipulated by the Buddha. The family must have the opportunity to grow blessed fields. Therefore, I have always followed this principle. Because I am a monk, I must It is necessary to keep the precepts, but the lay people also have their position, and we cannot say that it is wrong.

Especially this time, we also noticed, wow!It turns out that Singapore charges a lot more. In terms of doing any activities, including those in the Buddhist world, I think it is more supportive to me than other propaganda groups. They did not charge me, but they charge you. That is Their past practices were not directed at me. We also have to respect other people's systems!

But when I heard, ah!Toll?And at that time, our posters had already been printed, and many fellow practitioners had already started enrolling students and began signing up. It was a normal procedure, and after a while, I answered the message saying that the meeting is now held and the internal meeting is decided, because Many people are involved in decision-making.

That’s not what Dongfa’s layman meant. I know, because he originally prayed for me to preach the Dharma. He is also very happy to hope that I can often form bonds with you here, but he also has to respect everyone’s opinions inside. Later, I learned that, as a result of the meeting, everyone was charged XNUMX yuan, not much!It's cheap for them!It seems to have heard that Singapore also received XNUMX yuan and XNUMX yuan, but there are still quotes.

This...I finally gained more knowledge, and then I thought about it, because when I heard it, I immediately felt that it was not good. Although I respect and understand their practices, it is because my image is not me. In order to maintain my personal image, I want to maintain the position of Buddhist precepts.

So later I discussed with them, I said whether a compromise method could be used, and we must also guide the public, that is, I provide a merit box for everyone to support and rejoice. Later, I didn’t pass it. If I didn’t pass this suggestion, I would just Otherwise, we will cancel it temporarily, and we will continue to make this dharma fate after we have a consensus.Then I think they made this decision. It was not very sudden, because it is like this in many places, and why many people set prices. I thought about this issue later, including our famous master in Taiwan, who published books. You can see that our magic weapons are all. It's getting married, it's free, but many famous masters also charge for this accommodation, and some avenues also charge for it.

Then of course we cannot criticize. I never criticize any person or any group, because each has its own position. As long as you can be responsible for this cause and effect, you are OK. Later, I thought I didn’t charge, never set a price, and I did it again. It's very good, why do you have to do this?I just understood in detail. It turns out that most of the lay practitioners, Dharma protectors, and fellow practitioners they have experienced will not take the initiative to support them, and most of them will not. Therefore, they have difficulties in operation. Taking into account a situation in this regard, so this is their cause and fate, and they have to use this pricing mage.

In other words, Singapore may also suffer from a...this is because of the environment, the Western education!The notion that users pay, etc., has created such a ethos, so we are just talking about understanding objectively here, and don’t comment on it. If there is a cause, we will try our best to be in the Fa, and we cherish each other. It’s fine if there is no cause, it doesn’t matter. As for my decision to cancel the Buddha, the main thing is to insist on this donation.it is good!So I also hope that everyone can be considerate and tolerant.

(three)Lawyer Guo Qing maintains strict precepts

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

Well, today’s topic, let me talk about this. Just now our protector introduced one to us. He said that he advertises and helps us advertise. He is also very dedicated to protect us. Then this cause, we just talked about I would like to pray to Lawyer Guo Qing, the elder of Taiwan's religious circles, this is... Lawyer Guo Qing is the master I rely on.

I followed him to learn the precepts at the beginning of last year. Of course, in the past two years, I have to pay special attention to the precepts because the monks will stare at them and even memorize the precepts. Today, I don’t bring much because there are some inconveniences. Some of the notebooks were not brought over in Malaysia, and the entire script was memorized, because attorney Guo Qing, he specializes in the study of commandments and is very rigorous.

This year, he is in his sixties and has become a monk for more than XNUMX years, and he is practicing asceticism. It is a rare virtue of strict precepts, because modern people don’t like to take precepts very much. It seems that monks, including monks, often develop predestined relations... open predestined relations. Because it’s inconvenient to keep the precepts rigidly and rigidly when you go out and stay with everyone, the ethos of precepts is becoming less and less prosperous.But the reason why our lawyer Guo Qing was able to become Taiwan’s treasure, represents the most respected position of the Lvzong in Taiwan’s religious circles, in addition to his own strict discipline, his monk’s precepts, his This experience and the current work of the master who is also responsible for the two monasteries, so we, especially his own practice, will also briefly introduce you here. Have you heard of the Banzhou Sanmai?This practice.You must have heard of the retreat!Retreat means to close the door and it is called retreat. You can also watch it at home, but this is not the case in other people’s retreats. He retreats once for three years and closed three times. So what is going on here?Cultivating Banzhou samādhi, Banzhou samādhi is to walk around the Buddha, ninety days without sleep, ninety days!And he didn't sit down, and had to travel around the Buddha for ninety days all day.

If I collapse in one day, I am still young!It seems that I can't do it in one day, wow!How much perseverance is needed. He eats one meal a day and one meal a day. For more than XNUMX years, I have also tried one meal a day, because it is not easy to be his disciple, but also to pay some grades. This is not easy. Ah, when there was an eclipse in the sun, I took a group to worship the Buddha, and I almost fainted when I went down, and my eyes were shining brightly with Venus.This must have conditions. You must have perseverance, and your physical fitness is still good enough. So I am not good enough to have a long-term relationship, but I also work towards this goal. Now I can only do it after noon if I don’t eat after noon. I didn’t eat it, I also saved afternoon tea, saved afternoon tea, saved dinner, and saved midnight snack.

Many fellow practitioners and lay practitioners around me have followed this precept with me, saving a lot of money, and getting better and better. You can do it with your heart, so that you don’t have to count the six days of fasting and ten days of fasting. It’s very simple. Eight passes every day.I just briefly introduced that. Lawyer Guo Qing’s strict discipline, so his status in Taiwan is very respected. How can I give you another example to let everyone have such a concept, because how do we admire everyone? It's hard to say...very consummate.

As for him, we hold this national fasting dharma conference once a year in Taiwan. His virtues can call five or six thousand monks to make offerings, and he can take a five or six-hour car ride all the way to come, isn’t it For a little support, it was very tiring. I sat back and got hungry again. It was so far away... five or six thousand monks, tens of thousands of lay priests.That day, he worked together to accomplish this conference. He is the chairman of the Zhai Sang Conference, and the top leader is a great virtue. If you don't have this virtue, you don't have the effort to participate!What's more, the great virtue of the layman has contributed money and efforts, and tens of thousands of people have come to support this Fa conference, which has been held for a long time once a year.

This is his most...From these things, you can imagine that he is very busy, very busy, in a very busy situation, and Southeast Asia does not seem to have preached the precepts, so I hope that through me It’s my heart that if the fate is mature next year, I will try my best to pray for a lawyer with my law protector in Malaysia.When you ask a lawyer to preach the precepts, I can preach the five precepts, and a master can preach, the bodhisattva precepts need three masters, a Wiener and waiter, and five masters. It’s not easy for them to take the time to come out. It costs a lot of money to run the Fa conference, renting a venue, and all kinds of expenses, but we are willing to make the effort. Of course I have no money. My guardian, I am responsible for praying, because the monk is not willing to agree to it!

Not everyone can agree to the request. I also ask for a long time. Monk, you must agree to me. If the destiny is sufficient, then I hope that for fellow practitioners in Singapore and Malaysia, I will be able to accomplish a very rare preaching conference. At the moment, it is tentative. The monk verbally promised that I can pray that he can arrange time. He is very old, and he has very little time to work in this area.

I can’t get busy with affairs in Taiwan, so he promised me verbally, then I am also motivated. There is no problem with the law protector, but there is another problem, which is the number of applicants. If the number of applicants is small, How dare I please?Right! Wait for the five masters, there are only three who receive the precepts, can you see it?It is possible to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, Taiwan dollars!It's not that Singapore dollars are going to scare people to death, and pass the precepts to three people. These three are too bad fortune, oh!So although we are scheduled to be around December XNUMXrd next year, we will start enrolling students now.

(four)Grasp the cause of ordination right now

 (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 I think this enrollment task is not easy for me, why?Because many laymen, including the old practitioners, have a wrong concept of taking precepts, they have been in Buddhism for a long time, and even the longer they dare not take precepts. Including our Dongfa laymen, I am also admonishing him now, and it is best to come. Initiate the precepts, then why?The concept is wrong, I feel that I must do the five precepts and complete the bodhisattva precepts, and then I will take it, or else I will break the precepts or what will happen, I tell you, if you really take it well, you will do it well, and you don’t have to take it anymore. , I really feel that I have done it, and I don’t have to suffer at all if I do it!What are you doing?right?Sleep at home and don't waste this time.

Think about it, everyone. It’s because you don’t do well, you don’t maintain the precepts well, you need the blessings of the Three Jewels, you need the monk’s inheritance of the precepts, and the master’s explanation, telling you how to keep this precept well, when the precepts are generally violated. How can confession be clean, and don’t be afraid. If you are a non-precepted person, you will be more at ease to violate the precepts by judging by common sense, right?But don't forget it!You take the precepts with peace of mind, you go off the precepts, you go off the precepts secretly, and quietly, are there any results?Have!One more thing, if you have never received the precepts, after the results you receive in the future are reported to the Three Ways, and then come out after the immeasurable calamity, is there any way to meet the causes and conditions of taking the precepts, or even encounter the Dharma?Very difficult!Because you didn't get that fate.But if you take the precepts today, even if you break the precepts and fall to the hell of the most serious hell, you can still encounter the Dharma, and you can also encounter the causes and conditions of the precepts. You must be a Buddha. How big is the difference, one is The endless reincarnation is that no matter how you receive the reward, you will surely become a Buddha sooner or later in the future.

This is very important!So in our whole lifeWhen encountering Buddhism, we can also encounter the causes and conditions for preaching the precepts. The truly pure... the monks with pure precepts come to help us preach the precepts. How rare is this cause and predecessor!If you do not grasp it and plant a seed first, it will be difficult to have such a special cause. If you miss it, it is really like this!Don’t think that there are Dharma everywhere and you will preach the precepts everywhere. The problem is that you don’t necessarily have to do it anymore. It’s hard to get it. It’s not that after you do it, it’s not necessarily without obstacles. Maybe your family members will hinder you, or your relatives and creditors may hinder you. You can’t go if you want. It’s not that simple. So everyone must know that hearing this cause and condition now means that you have this blessing. Only if you have this good root, the cause and condition will arise in front of you.

Well, if you are not sure how to say it, the good roots are not enough, not enough, although there is not enough, you missed it face to face, so of course, there is no way to describe how wonderful this cause is and how rare it is, and there is no way to do it in a short time. Change everyone's fear of asking for precepts.There are still some mistakes about this. On the one hand, I suggest to talk to you as much as possible. On the other hand, you can go online to listen to me if you have a fate. I also recorded eight episodes of Sanskrit.com in Toronto, Canada the year before. In the lectures on the bodhisattva vows, from the very beginning, I talked about many concepts of vows and the order of our practice.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Lianying

(Fives)The second stage of practice begins with the heart, taking precepts, learning precepts, and keeping precepts.

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

To practice, you have to come from the order of taking precepts, learning precepts, and keeping precepts... This is called practice, the correct order. If you have not taken precepts, have not started learning precepts, have not started precepts, you will never be practicing at all. It's useless to listen to more sutras every day, or say, yes!I'm a vegetarian. I don't kill, steal, swear, or talk falsely. It just seems to be practicing.In fact, you have no precepts, no precepts, the mind you hold may not have bodhichitta, and your concept may not be correct. All these factors, that is to say, even if you are taking precepts and are practicing The way of keeping the precepts may also be blind practice, because you didn’t follow the steps, so everyone, I’m going to say it briefly. There is no way to explain this principle very clearly at a time.

Briefly and directly tell you what the correct order is. The first one is to ask for the precepts first. Just like when we enter Buddhism, take the three refuges first. You are the true Buddha disciple. You did not underestimate this ritual, or say that this is a motivation. , If you don’t have this action of taking three refuges first, it means that you have come to Buddhism as a guest, tourist.You are not from your own family, and your sincerity has not been expressed. If it is a bit ugly, it is my own!I am the one to give you an experience!It's a bit ugly and suspected of law theft, wow!Strictly speaking!Yes, do you want to sign up when you go to school?Then the school will give you a student ID, just like our conversion certificate!You didn't sign up to go to the classroom, can you?No way!right?Is it an eavesdropping? This is my own inference!

We are just going to experience it. Of course, Buddhism is not so strict. If you want to come, it is Amitabha, come and come!It's ok,There is no stipulation that you must take refuge in the Three Jewels, but as a master, I encourage everyone and explain this truth. Indeed, we did not go to Buddhism. You said that you want to practice and you want to learn Buddhism, take refuge in the Three Jewels, and follow Buddhism. The monk learns, but you don’t mean to have this intention. Is this heart sincere?You think you have your heart, you are really determined to come to learn the Fa and Buddhism, and you may also have good intentions, but I just said that it is like a tourist, a tourist!You are not from your own family, so how effective is your learning?It must be bad, right?It must be bad!It’s yourself that loses. You are not easy to sense, and it is not easy to understand when you listen. If you don’t understand, people will become enlightened when you listen to it. If you listen to it ten thousand times, you won’t be enlightened. That’s the foundation. The root of what you should do is not taken. under.

Taking refuge in the Three Jewels is a starting point. When you come to practice, you must start with the five precepts. Then how do you hold it?You must first ask for precepts and feel a precept. The bodhisattva will inherit this precept with you. After that, he will have this blessing power and you have the guardian god to protect you so that it is not easy for you to break the precept, and it is true. When you want to break the precepts, you can actually give up the precepts first. You don’t have to worry about going to hell. If it’s not that serious, there must be a way to deal with it. There are many ways. In my Brahma Net Sutra, what is said in the notes. It is very clear. If you listen carefully, you will feel at ease. Then you have the bodhisattva vow, wow!It's hard!I haven't maintained the five precepts. These are two different things.

The bodhisattva vows also contain the five vows. Killing, stealing, licentiousness, and arrogance cannot be committed, and they must be maintained!It’s not that you can’t do it. Everyone will do it. Everyone has the opportunity to repent, but the bodhisattva vows will be more difficult?No, he just said that there are more precepts, and that there are more precepts, and not every one of them will get XNUMX points right away, no!Just let us learn more, and learn more is better, right?

When we learn the five precepts, we only graduate from elementary school, and when we learn the bodhisattva precepts, we just graduate from college. If we learn more, then how much you learn, how much you do, and how much you count, must be better than not learning or not holding on. It is definitely only good to gain merit. There is no harm. We generally think of the harms. Those who are afraid of the east and the west are actually not the heart of practice.

(six)To cultivate the Mahayana method, you must start from the beginning of the bodhisattva path

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

In fact, many of the fellow practitioners here are old cultivators and they are very pious. You really want to practice. You have to go the right way and the method is right. If you don’t have the foundation, you may waste decades without seeing the results, especially this bodhisattva vow. More extraordinary, why?Because of our Mahayana method, the Buddhism we practice in China is based on the Mahayana method.

What is the biggest feature of Mahayana?Everyone knows this, but there is no microphone to speak to you. Let me tell you that the characteristic of Mahayana is that it is different in origin and bodhicitta. What is this bodhicitta?It is the mind of practicing the way of Bodhisattva and the mind of saving sentient beings. This is the characteristic of our Chinese Buddhism.

If we want to become a Buddha, we must also practice the path of the Bodhisattva. After passing through this stage of the path of the Bodhisattva, if we have not developed bodhichitta and we have not received the bodhisattva vow to hold the bodhisattva vow, is there any way to become a Buddha?It's impossible, and you can't skip a level, you can't skip a level, of course!Our fellow practitioners in the Pure Land know that I can go to Buddha Amitabha to become a Buddha. It is possible. That is a shortcut, but the question is can you go?Can you go?Let me tell you, you are not willing to accept the bodhisattva vows and do not follow the bodhisattva way. Unless you have no cause and condition, you have met with a cause and condition. I advise you, if you don't go, you can't go to the world of bliss, unless you have no cause and condition!

You still encounter the Pure Land Method of Amitabha Buddha at your deathbed. You can also die, but you have a cause and condition to encounter the bodhisattva vows, learn the bodhisattva vows, accept the bodhisattva vows, and follow the bodhisattva way. There are opportunities, but if you do not do it, it means that you have not developed bodhicitta and that you are not corresponding to Mahayana, right?Then how should you feel Amitabha Buddha come?There is no way to sense it!Your faith and wishes are false, not true. People who really wish to live in the blissful world have a characteristic of seeing through the five desires and six dusts of this world, and no longer pursue them. This world is too bitter, I don’t want to stay. I'm going to the Paradise of Elysium, what are you still thinking about since it's too hard?Can't you give up a lot of things?Can't you give up your time, your money, and your labor?How can you die if you don't let it go?How to give it up?Practicing the Way of Bodhisattva.

Practicing the way of the Bodhisattva is asking us to give up, so we really want to be faithful and willing to save sentient beings and pay for them, right?This is reasonable!If you are unwilling to do it, on the one hand you say that I am going to Paradise, on the other hand, the people here are unwilling to give up or let go, then how to go, how to go?Oh!Impossible to go!

Like our fellow practitioners, many of our fellow practitioners have performed very well. I have started classes on Facebook for two or three years, and have been taking classes every day, as long as we have listened to this class from me, as long as there is a real wish to specialize in Pure Land People who have heard the method only have to hear it once. People who did not have faith in previous rebirths have built their confidence, and those who did not have aspirations before rebirth, have made a vow, and have this blessing power.

Wow!Is the host so good?It’s not that I’m great, but Amitabha is great, because I introduced the Pure Land method according to the thoughts of Master Shandao and our Pure Land Master. He is the one who Amitabha Buddha will come again. The deity came to teach us, then I use his this. Thinking and teaching methods, I can prove my own benefits, and then I will share with you, so everyone can easily feel the blessing power, then feel the blessing... this is a very short time!

Those people who are uneducated, stupid, and have no money and no blessings can get the induction very quickly, but the induction, what is the reaction after the confidence in the rebirth is established?Immediately send bodhicitta and follow the bodhisattva way. Many of our fellow practitioners are like this, so this can prove that your desire for rebirth is true, and it can prove that you can definitely regenerate into a Buddha and achieve your goals.It depends on your behavior!If your behavior has not changed, you will be pursuing things in the world every day. It is impossible to rebirth. It is absolutely impossible. Therefore, those who have not been motivated must hurry up, because there is such a good cause to help you, this is to learn well. Bodhisattva vows, help you how to practice the bodhisattva path. According to the correct method of vows, some people don’t know how to spend money and donate it everywhere, and they have created a lot of karma. They may not really be able to practice the bodhisattva path. There must be a method, so be sure. This opportunity.

(Seven)Medicine Buddha and Amitabha are one

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

So we just talked about this time. We have these registration forms here. If you have a bit of change, please leave a phone call after it is over. Pre-register. Don’t worry, you still have time to hesitate. , And... there is still a year for you to listen to the scriptures and learn the precepts. After you are truly relieved, the cause and conditions will naturally mature at that time, because I just said that if the number of people is not large, I will not pray. I can be fulfilled, I hope everyone has this blessing.

This has nothing to do with me. I have already received the bodhisattva ordination, and there are still scars on the bodhisattva ordination, oh!This is a very glorious thing, but you do not need to burn it. If you are afraid of pain, you can not burn the scar. It doesn't matter. This is all you need to take care of when you are a layman.

it is good!Because of today’s theme, I haven’t talked about speeding up as soon as possible, or I’m very disrespectful to the Pharmacist Tathagata!Regardless, I had already communicated with the Medicine Master Buddha just before I came here. I confessed to him first. I said that the disciple accepted your teachings for the first time. If I did not speak well, please ask the Medicine Master Buddha to forgive me.

That's because of us... this, but there is one point that I will never make a mistake. It's not that I made a mistake. Of course I won't make a mistake. There is one thing that I can definitely say very satisfactorily.Although I am not very acquainted with the Medicine Buddha, his twelve great wishes are to worship the laymen of the Buddhist Corps this time and pray for me to have the opportunity to study. It is not very in-depth study, but there is a reason I understood very early.That is to say, the Medicine Buddha and the Amitabha whom I have been familiar with for nearly XNUMX years are actually the same, they are the same. Since they are the same, although the twelve great wishes I said may not be very detailed and very familiar, but forty-eight hopes I am familiar. That's it, so I think of him as Amitabha.

For this theme, the reason they originally prayed was because there was a pharmacist Dharma meeting recently!With this cause and condition, I hope that I will lead you all. But when my heart moved, I wanted to set this theme, and compare the wishes of Amitabha and Medicine Buddha, and compare the corresponding points, because he is originally the same Buddha, then How to say there is the same one?The names are different, one in the East and the other in the West. How are they the same?It looks different but in fact it is the same. This is called reality. The real phenomenon is the same from the perspective of reality. Then you don’t believe it is normal, because our ordinary wisdom hasn’t arrived yet... hasn’t opened yet. Enlightenment, you have not seen emptiness and reality yet, of course you only trust your own eyes and your own conscious judgment.

Of course, the East is different from the West. How could it be the same, but I can’t prove it to you right away, let you know that He is one, but I can... Excuse me, what your eyes see, your brain Is the first in it absolutely correct?Maybe not!

No one dares to say that it is absolutely correct, so you think that the East is different from the West, and you think that Medicine Buddha is different from Amitabha. Is it possible that the judgment is wrong, it is possible, right?So keep it first and don’t insist on your own attachments. Keep it first, and you will have a chance to become enlightened in the future. If you say it’s impossible now, then how can it be the same anyway?Then there is nothing to talk about, and you will not have a chance to become enlightened.

At least first let go of your own ego and self-seeing, and let go of some previous prejudices, and then, because we have limited time, we can’t explain it in detail to you, and emptiness cannot be explained clearly in a few words, so First of all, I have a little impression that the East and the West are one.Time and space are derived from all the differences in names. What are the benefits of understanding this concept first?The benefits are great, oh, so you won’t think that when I introduce the Twelve Great Vows to me, I’m too partial. I always speak for Amitabha, and it turns into opposition, saying that we use ordinary hearts, for example...I First, do you have any fans of Pharmacist Tathagata?

Have!One, three are not good enough, otherwise I will throw the egg over, then I will tell you that you all know that it is one!There is no opposition. I am a disciple of Amitabha Buddha, and I am also a disciple of Medicine Master Buddha Tathagata, because he is one body, and it is a Buddha. This is true, not a joke. It is convenient to say, why are there so many Buddhas if there are one body?It's because all beings like it, all beings are persistent!

Some sentient beings, Amitabha, I don’t want Amitabha to take me to death. He will be afraid. I also meet believers. Master: I don’t want to recite Amitabha, I want to recite Avalokitesvara, and I want to recite Ksitigarbha. Amitabha does not respond, he is not afraid of hell, and he does not dare to go to the world of bliss. There are all these people's thoughts, right?So there is no way, Amitabha had to change another identity as Medicine Master Buddha. He had no choice but to change Guanyin Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, all of which were changed by Him. This is true, so there is a saying called Amitabha of Self-Nature, Pure Mind.

What does Amitabha Buddha stand for, why does he...why does he be the king of the Buddha?Buddhas are not all flat, why is he the king?Because all buddhas and all bodhisattvas have emerged from him, like clones, we can understand it like this, just like clones, anyway, they are one body!It is such a situation that a Medicine Buddha, a Guanyin Bodhisattva, and a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva emerge from his oneness. Do you understand?This is a fact. I use a relatively simple way. Let's not talk about it so mysterious. Those mysterious truths say that I want to sleep.

I don't like to talk so mysterious, but it can be very deep and profound, but let's talk in a simple way, and you are all very smart in the vernacular!It's easy to understand, and you just need to believe it. It doesn't matter if you don't understand those very profound truths. You can also graduate. You believe me, and then you will graduate if you believe in the content. What do you graduate?You are a researcher. Do you know that Buddha, Buddha and Tao are the same? All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are one body. The realm of this truth is very deep, so you don't know why!Many people don't know why?

You need to be enlightened. If you believe it, and you also know that this happened, your wisdom is higher than the average person. This is right view. This is the course of the graduate school. So why do you have to talk about this first, because you don’t have to wait. If you fight, the East and the West on both sides will fight. Of course, the Buddha will not fight. If the believer fights, it will be troublesome.We ordinary people are like this, oops!I especially protect my mage, I especially protect my dojo, so I have no choice but to oppose other dojos and other wizards. Ordinary people can easily have such a habit. , So oh!I am very scared when I talk about this topic. I must first show my friendship. Everyone is a family.

(Eight)Make a wish to be the messenger of Amitabha

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

At this time, I started to introduce these twelve great wishes and make a comparison, so that everyone can better understand the meaning of the wishes issued by these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.I interrupt here first, because I really have a lot to share with you. I haven't gotten into the topic yet, and the time is almost up.

When it comes to making aspirations, the first-inspiring practitioners are the most...the most brave. I don't know if you really have aspirations?I was very brave when I first started my mind, and then I hardly went out for a month, praying and reciting the sutras from morning to night, and worked a lot of induction. It was such an investment, and then within a month I wanted to say that I wanted to make a wish. Amitabha Buddha made forty-eight vows, I want to make forty-nine vows, I have to surpass my teacher, not that I have to be stronger than him, but that I have to be more motivated than him, so that I can repay my gratitude.

Wow!Later I found out that it was so difficult!I have been making a wish for a long time, but I can’t make it. I said it’s strange that every Buddha and every Bodhisattva has a wish. Why can’t I make a wish?Because I sent it out today and looked at it the other day, I thought it was weird, or that I couldn't do it at all, so I realized that it was not easy to make a vow.

All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have deep principles in their wishes, but fortunately, I have been studying for XNUMX years now. After nearly XNUMX years, I finally made a wish. I made it eight years ago, and finally made a wish. Now, the true wish, I share with you, because you can also do it, what wish?I made a vow to recruit students for Amitabha Buddha. Have you done it? His forty-eight vows are so fulfilled. Why should I make forty-nine vows? We can't compare with Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in any way we send them!They are full and wise people, and the vows we send out are not fulfilled no matter how we send them. Zhang San didn't take Li Si into consideration, and we were going to turn our faces later.

Later, I was grateful because of my cause and fate. About eight years ago, I was able to build my confidence in the death of life. It’s the kind of joy of the moment. There is no words, so I made another wish. That’s the wish. I enrolled students for Amitabha. To be the messenger of Amitabha Buddha, this is my nickname. To be the messenger of Amitabha Buddha, do the same work as the Buddhas of the ten directions. The Buddhas of the ten directions recruit students for Amitabha. We do... how sacred this wish is to be with the Buddha. What you do is the same, not just a small wish, so you can also make this wish together, and you can definitely do it.

(nine)Amitabha has the same wish as the Medicine Buddha

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

After talking for a long time, I was still talking about Amitabha Buddha, which took a lot of time. I'm a bit sorry for Medicine Buddha. Fortunately, I just made it clear that talking about Amitabha is talking about Medicine Buddha, because he has emerged from the body of Amitabha.

it is good! OK, we...Although so!But Amitabha...Since the Medicine Buddha has made the twelve great vows, we still have to come to know and take care of this vow in terms of things, because there is still his different meaning, every Buddha and every Buddha Bodhisattva has different wishes, and has his own special meaning.

Let’s look at a paragraph, first of a paragraph of this vow, the first vow, I just read this scripture briefly. His first vow: "May I be bright and blazing when I have the three Bodhisattva Amitala in the next life. However, it shines on countless boundless worlds, with thirty-two men's appearances, eighty companions, solemn body, so that all sentient beings are no different from me." This is the thirty-two aspect of the hair, eighty companions are good, that is, Said that when he became a Buddha, he hoped that this... of all beings who are predestined with him would be able to obtain it. The so-called thirty-two aspects are perfect and perfect, just like the Buddha, the solemn aspect, and the eighty accompanying persons. Well, all kinds of figures are good, not just looks and figure!In all aspects of the hairstyle, the eighty accompaniment means that everything is the most solemn and equal solemnity.

Is there in this forty-eight vow of Amitabha Buddha?You all made it clear!Most of it, right?You should all know it!Yes!There are hair.All we use this theme is the corresponding point. The Pure Land of Bliss is the pure land of Amitabha Buddha. With his wish, his forty-eight wishes fulfilled, let’s compare the corresponding points, and we can see a deep truth in it, etc. You can compare it and you will know that the first wish, you see, is the same as the wish of Amitabha.

The second wish is: "May I be like colored glaze in the next life, clear inside and outside, pure and unblemished, bright and majestic, with great merit, good and peaceful, and the flame net is solemn, more than the sun and the moon. Nether living beings, full of knowledge and dawn, Feel free to enjoy and do various careers." This wish is still for the nether beings, mainly from the nether beings. Where are the nether beings?It is hell and ghost realm, mainly the most bitter sentient beings. All beings of the three evil realms include, mainly the nether realm or hell, the realm of ghost realm is the main being, and only they are predestined with him.

look!These three evil ways are not only the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but also the Medicine Buddha, but all of us, then, do you think Amitabha has done it? Yes!In the forty-eight vows, as soon as you open your mouth, you will start first, first for the three evil beings, because they are the most bitter, make this vow for them first, the same is true for the Medicine Master Tathagata!It's all the same, the Buddha's mind is the same.

(ten)Only one in-depth specialization in one method can be achieved.

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

Here comes the third wish: "May I get Bodhi in the next life, and when I get Bodhi in the next life,With infinite wisdom and convenience, all sentient beings can receive endless things, and no sentient beings are lacking.'

You see, I don’t read it smoothly. This is a bad supplement. I can make a mistake these days, but I can grasp it without making a mistake. Because of the difference in the writing and phase, we can’t finish learning it in a lifetime. We can grasp the fundamentals. The difference in name and form is actually the same in every sutra. The name and form are different. Of course, there are different levels of realm, but in the end they are all the same. Unless it is not Buddhism, as long as it is Buddhist scriptures. It's the same, so in fact, smart people shouldn't learn so much!One sutra is enough, one in-depth, but I can’t say here, fans of your Pharmacist Tathagata must follow us in this one-in-depth pure land method, no!If you have a predestined relationship with the Medicine Buddha, you will follow the Medicine Buddha deeply, specializing in the Dharma, his Dharma, anyway, in the end, he will still take you to the Paradise of Bliss, the same, this will be discussed later. The same, but if you are destined with Him in this world, you can do the same.We also advise to specialize in one method, so that you don’t have to work so hard, because what we have learned and practiced is the same, so if you learn so many names, will you be able to Take up your time and energy.

That principle is the same. Every sutra, every Buddha will bring us to the same realm. Why are you so tired and idle, so specialization is very important, and specialization also shows sincerity. You have to be dedicated and show that you are sincere enough, and you have to be very loyal and loyal.If you say that you love your wife very much and you have made several girlfriends outside, are you loyal to your wife?No!right?The same reason, performance... Sincerity to people must be manifested in your single-mindedness and behavior. Of course, there is such an induction, and the feedback induction you get is the most extraordinary, right?

If you are so diligent to make so many friends, those people also care about you and don’t care about you. Similarly, the Buddha... Of course the Buddha is very compassionate. He doesn’t have these distinctions, but the problem is that we don’t feel it. Because our minds are too messy, we can’t get the blessings of the Buddha because of our insensitivity, so it’s also very important to study one method deeply.

Then you said that we are now coming to receive this medicine master Buddha Tathagata's law, do we have miscellaneous cultivation?It depends on what you use and what you use. If you want to specialize in the Pure Land, but you have a predestined relationship with this Taoist temple, and you have a predestined relationship with this Dharma. You can rejoice. Your mind is not messy, it is rejoicing!It's okay. You didn't find it on purpose. You should treat it as a bodhisattva, and take part in rejoicing your merits. Yes, this is not a miscellaneous practice.

If I feel that Amitabha is not enough all day long, I still have to look for this and that. That is miscellaneous cultivation, understand?In fact, the problem is... I am here. I can also recruit students for the medicine Buddha on this topic today. You can try your best to learn and participate in the Pharmacist Buddha's puja. But usually, we major in ourselves. Remember to be specialized and try not to Miscellaneous, don't take the initiative to climb the relationship, and, in the end, the Medicine Master Tathagata will still persuade you to go to the Paradise of Bliss. If you don't believe it, let's take a look at the vow to know.

(thirteen)Admire Amitabha's consummation

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

Here comes the sixth vow...Yes... Medicine Master Buddha made a vow. When he becomes a Buddha, all those who are very ugly and look very ugly, if you are not satisfied with your looks, hurry up and participate in the puja. Ask the Medicine Master Buddha to bless you, he has made a vow!Normal people are ugly, there are blind people, and this...this dumb, deaf, all these kinds of illnesses, I hope everyone is most familiar with the Tathagata, just like his name, As soon as I hear that the Medicine Master Tathagata is like this, if you are sick, you should find the Medicine Master Buddha as soon as possible, right?

Actually now...I'm going to talk a little bit at this time. If I get sick, I don't go to the Medicine Master Buddha, who do I go to?Amitabha!why?why?Don’t forget the concept I just established: I’m not familiar with Medicine Buddha, Amitabha is better, no!That's miserable, that's antagonism, because the Medicine Buddha is Amitabha, so let's recite one, or just recite one. It's all the same, and all of them are read.Does Amitabha Buddha have power?Yes, how can there be no magic power in the same statue? Of course, if you are used to recitation of Medicine Buddha, then if you are sick, go to Medicine Buddha, OK, we admire it with joy, and it may not force you to bring you here, because you are not familiar with recitation. It's not easy to sense.

But remember that if you want to heal a disease, you can find a Medicine Buddha, but if you want to become a Buddha, you must find Amitabha. This is the point. It doesn't matter if you can usually major in Medicine Buddha. To get married, you have to do some homework, this is the most complete.

It's best if Amitabha Buddha will come to pick you up directly. You don't need to bother the Medicine Master Buddha to send another eight Bodhisattvas to pick you up, and then go around in a circle. Amitabha Buddha will pick you up. The chairman will pick you up. Of course it's better than the general manager, right?The most noble!This is our objective explanation. Of course, it depends on the individual's cause and condition. It doesn't make any difference to me. I think they are all the same. Of course, this vow is made in the XNUMX vows of Amitabha Buddha.

The seventh vow and the seventh vow are medicine. If all living beings who are sick have no money, no money to buy medicine, poverty, suffering, this He will also come to bless you to solve these difficulties. When it comes to this, let me first... I found one thing. Everyone doesn't know if you can see this taste, although I have only made up for it in the past few days!These wishes, but I see a lot of things, I don't know if you have noticed them.All the vows made by the Pharmacist Tathagata, in fact, from what we see here, in terms of the seventh vow, he first helps us all beings to solve the problems in front of us, right?All in fact, these vows are not the most important of his vows, they are not sinful, they are just made according to the needs of our beings, and the most extraordinary is there. I haven’t seen them yet. I’ll introduce them later. .

(fourteen)Only when you turn from female to male can you become a Buddha.

 (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 eighth wish is to change from female to male.If you have a husband, why do you want to change from a female to a male?There are also forty-eight wishes of Amitabha Buddha. Why do you want to turn women into men? Some women are unbalanced. It is better to be a girl, and there are many strong women in Singapore. Why should I be a boy?Of course being a girl, my life, and my abilities are better than men. Why should I become a boy? Some are like this. Some people even vow to Amitabha that I will be a girl for life and life.

Wow!As a result, I was scolded by the Buddha on the spot. This fool, of course, he didn't say that, because I often scolded students for scolding fools, so I blurted out. He just scolded him, you stupid!If there is no wisdom, wish can not be sent casually.Why do all the Buddhas have turned women into men?Help us to abandon this girl and turn it into a boy, because girls cannot become Buddhas, girls cannot become Buddhas, and there are lay laymen. Those who practice by themselves can only become Arahants, and they cannot become Arahants when they reach the Three Fruits. So in the future, if you don’t Those who seek to die will have the intention to become a monk, but there is also a cause and condition to become a monk. It is not so easy, so your practice will be limited.

Lay Buddhists can only attain the three fruits, not the four Arahants, and there is no way for us girls to become Buddhas. There are also restrictions. We must become boys. Why?There is a lot of time to explain this reason. Simply put, girls are worse than boys, and girls’ savages are worse than boys. To become a Buddha is to become the most perfect savages. How can there be a bad body to be a Buddha?

We girls have to recognize, really, the karma is more serious, at least we are not stronger than men, right?Oh!This sacrificial body is relatively poor. Maybe our wisdom and Buddha nature are equal. That’s not wrong, but we have Buddha nature, and we have it, men also have it, and we are equal, but our strength is not greater than that of others, we are still better than others. Weak place, so this sacrificial body is really bad, so we girls have to make a wish to turn female into male, don't...don't cherish this female body, otherwise you will have no hope of becoming a Buddha.

(fifteen)Establish a right view so that you will not be confused by outsiders

 (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 ninth vow is the vow of this medicine master Buddha. When he becomes a Buddha, he can help some sentient beings to establish right views, free from the shackles of some external ways, and some evil views can be expelled.We are very blessed to come here today to hear about the Dhamma, and the Buddha...through the Master...the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha are one body, through the Master to explain the Buddha’s Dharma, this is the Dharma, but those outside, those who worship everywhere with incense , May also be very pious, but also believe in cause and effect and dare not do evil, worship here and there for blessings, but many of them are knowing and seeing incorrectly. This is the so-called external way, seeking the Dharma outside the heart.

Buddhism teaches us to cultivate our own body and mind, to purify our body and mind, and to open up wisdom. This is internal learning.Those who are outside the Buddhism are called Outer Dao, and those who ask for the Dharma out of the heart are called Outer Dao. Then you see those who hold incense and pray everywhere, asking for gods, ghosts, and gods. That is the outer way of seeking Dharma out of their hearts. This is all incorrect. It's not right view.

If you want to become a Buddha, you must achieve right view, so the Medicine Buddha has made this vow to bless us. If you follow him and learn from him, he can help you establish right view.

(sixteen)All beings are like beings in jail for eternal reincarnation without expiration

 (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 tenth wish is...for those who are in prison, those who are in prison, these sentient beings, can be freed from all kinds of disasters, these people can be free from these sufferings, in fact, we want to say this wish again It has nothing to do with us. I didn't kill or set fire, and I didn't arrest them. In fact, they all have something to do with them.

Every one of us is in jail now, do you believe it?We are all in jail, what jail?In the Three Realms, the fire house is locked up. This is a big prison. We have no way to be free, no way to transcend reincarnation, but some people don't know, I don't know my current situation.We are like that. Let’s take another example of disgusting. You have eaten dinner. Those who ate too much vomit it out carefully. There is a description. We all are like maggots in a cesspit. That worm, each of us just Like that worm, it smells so good to eat stool every day!I was very satisfied with the food, and I didn’t want to leave that cesspit. We were in this situation, but he didn’t know, he didn’t know the smell, and he thought it was delicious!

We are all locked up in this three-world fire house. It is very uncomfortable. If you are interested in aliens, you know that there are really many aliens. There are many planets in the universe. We don't have the opportunity to travel!right?The world of bliss to go to is so hard, and Amitabha is required to come and pick it up.

The universe in this world is very big, and we are trapped on the earth, there are so many disasters, Singapore is so small, housing prices are getting more and more expensive, it is not easy to have a place to stand, right?Locked in this prison, isn't it?Therefore, each of us needs to rely on the wishes of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to bless us. Their wishes also help us see the truth. If sentient beings do not have this phenomenon, He will not make these wishes. These are all about us.

(XNUMX)The Medicine Buddha also made a vow to attract sentient beings to the Paradise of Bliss

 (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 eleventh wish, oh!This wish I just said is the same as the wish issued by Buddha Amitabha. When he becomes a Buddha, he must help all living beings to solve this hunger and thirst, so that he can eat and drink, and never do it again. The troubles of three meals, all of us from the beginning to now are basically these problems in life, such as sickness, diet, medicine, and various disasters to help you solve it. This is ingenious and convenient, because we are ordinary beings, first solve the immediate problems. The problem is more urgent. First eat full, and then take care of the Buddha. This...understand?So it’s more important to take care of your eyes first, but you have to know that there are very small benefits in front of you. What He really wants to give us is not this. If you don’t ask for this, you will be satisfied. What a shame!

This twelfth wish, let's talk about it together!It’s just that you can get all kinds of this wonderful clothes, solemn and beautiful, as I just said, they are all the same, but with a different term, and this mosquito fly is cold and hot, which makes it annoying day and night.If you think Singapore is too hot, just recite the Medicine Buddha. He will help you relieve the cold and heat. You can ask Him if you are too cold or hot. He will make you feel comfortable in your life. Look!It's so warm!Take care of you in every possible way, this is His wish.

Then I just talked about this... the most important vow. He didn’t send it in these forty-eight vows. He mentioned the most important vow in a passage of scripture. So if you only see this vow, Maybe we don’t see the benefits that the Medicine Master Buddha really wants to give us all beings. Where is the greatest benefit?Maybe I can’t see it, I just remembered it wrong, thinking that the part I just talked about was in the Ten Wishes, the Twelve Great Wishes, but it’s not!It’s in a scripture, and I’ll read it again now, "Further time. Manjusri. If there are four people. Fuchu. Fuchuni..." First...this first takes a long time, just talk about the latter. Oh... "With this good root. I wish to regenerate the Immortal Buddha in the Western Paradise. Hear the Dhamma. But the undecided. If you hear the name of the Blessed Medicine Master Liuliguang Tathagata. At the end of his life. There are eight Bodhisattvas. The name is Manjusri. Li Bodhisattva. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva of Great Power. Bodhisattva of Infinite Mind. Bodhisattva of Baotanhua. Bodhisattva of Medicine King. Bodhisattva of Medicine. Color. Among all the treasures. Natural metamorphosis."

This is the key point, so when you recite the Pharmacist Sutra the next day, you should recite this paragraph carefully so that you will not miss the most extraordinary blessings. This is the wish of the Pharmacist Tathagata that he most hopes to give to all living beings, but he does not have it. Put it in the previous vow, because he has his expression, just like Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, he did not make this vow, because Amitabha has already issued it, is it already issued, why do you send it again?repeated.He will use the sound of the sound to save the suffering and come with a skill to attract you. There is no need to repeat it. The other Buddhas are the same, but he puts it in his scriptures. Everyone must understand, so that you can learn this. The most quintessential part, the most extraordinary part, which I mentioned just now, is to help sentient beings to the Paradise of Bliss in the end.

(Eighteen)The realm of the Buddha is that the directors are fully consummated

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

Now the time is up, we are XNUMX to XNUMX o'clock, but it is because of us.I don’t know whether I can get it or not. It’s hard to tell, so I want to leave some time for you to ask questions.

My schedule for next year, apart from just now, I just introduced the teacher first. The teacher is more important. Then this is a Fa conference for preaching the precepts in early December. Then my own schedule for next year has been roughly set, in March and October. Also in Malaysia in February, and even Indonesia, there may be a regular session of the First Buddha Fa conference. If you want to attend, you can also sign up, go to Facebook or drive for three hours if you really have the experience. .

In ancient times, people walked for a year or two to find a teacher and visit the Tao. You became enlightened before you walked there. Your heart, if you walk for a year or two, are you still not enlightened?Then if you don't go there for three hours now, you are still too far away, unless it doesn't matter if the cause is not sufficient, you have to grasp the chance.Every time the cause is every blessing, then Singapore has not decided next year, because I don’t know if the Buddha Corporation will pray to me again, and I don’t know if I will come again, because everyone’s ideas and practices must be able to Consistency, karma can be mature, then it doesn't matter, it is always the fate that we have made this time, and we all... feel that they are all perfect.

Fellow practitioner: It was mentioned earlier that girls cannot become Buddhas, but I seem to have read the Buddhist scriptures and mentioned that dragon girls can directly become Buddhas. What is the reason for this?Ask the Master to teach.

Teacher: Good, good!Good question. This part was originally planned to be talked about today, but I skipped over because of lack of time. Now, he asked very well. In the Lotus Sutra, the Dragon Girl became a Buddha at the age of eight, and the Dragon Girl is a girl, the daughter of the Dragon King. , Then she belongs to...she is not a humane being, she is the sea...that is, the beings in the sea, there are all beings in the Ten Dharma Realms!They can all become Buddhas.

Then... you must have not read the Lotus Sutra well, because you did not see clearly how the Dragon Girl became a Buddha, and was she still a Dragon Girl after she became a Buddha?no!As soon as she turned around, she showed jewels... and gave jewels to Buddha Shakyamuni. At that moment, she flew to the opposite side and turned into a male to become a Buddha. You didn't notice this paragraph!The moment she became a Buddha, she was transferred to a boy, so she became a Buddha. There was no way. There was no Buddha. After becoming a Buddha, she was still like a girl, no.That means you haven't turned around and turned halfway. There may be something wrong. Just like cooking rice is not cooked properly, something is wrong. There can be no such thing, understand?it is good!Ask questions again, if you want to ask...good!

Fellow practitioners: Good afternoon, Master, this transfer from female to male is a physical one, that is to say, if even females have cultivated...

Teacher: I know what you want to ask. You can go back and sit down. Hurry up. Have you ever heard that this council is adequate, things are matters, and rationality is rationality, and what you just said is rationality, right?In theory, everyone will become a Buddha. That's right, but you have never seen a Buddha. Is he incomplete?He has become a Buddha with a pure heart. He is still very ugly, not solemn, and has a lot of habits and problems. No, things are outside the situation.

When you have reached Consummation in your heart, you have become a Buddha in theory, and you are clean within, and your appearance will definitely be Consummation. Then what is Consummation?It’s called Consummation when boys are turned upside down. We just talked about turning girls halfway through and haven’t gotten better. If they haven’t been consummated, things will not be consummated yet, so they will resist. In theory, I am now enlightened. I have attained the realm of Buddha, I have become a Buddha, that's right!

You can say that you have become a Buddha, and there is indeed this stage. For example, in terms of Zen Buddhism, he is enlightened, sees his mind and becomes a Buddha, he sees that he has become a Buddha in nature, but you Have you ever seen him go to practice after he understands his mind and his nature? Yes!What should I cultivate after enlightenment?Consummation in practice, right?

Do you still want to cultivate once you become a Buddha?Yes, you must have sufficient directors. This Buddha is the Buddha of Consummation, not the Buddha of Reason, so don't say it, oh!It’s good for me to have a pure heart. Don’t keep the precepts. I don’t need to do it anymore. It doesn’t matter when you are outside. The outside world is not important. No, you are not truly Consummated, so those who are truly enlightened will definitely come back. Keep the precepts honestly.

Remember to sign up later!I said that there was no action for a long time. I said it for nothing, and there is still a year for you to think about making you regret it. This is really the case. Everyone should work hard and don't just understand the truth.To understand the truth is to liberate from the truth. It is not wrong and very important, but you have not practiced and practiced, and there is no real merit or merit. It is not enough. It's like saying, wow!You can visualize your meal as delicious, but if you didn’t eat it, your stomach is still hungry. You still have to be consummate in behavior. You need to eat to be full, right?

Are you full just thinking about it?Did your hunger go away?Nothing!You haven't really got that benefit yet, so you have taken care of everything. You should understand it. It seems that you still have wisdom. It will make sense at one point, so I know what you want to ask if you talk about it halfway.

Many old cultivators or those who pay more attention to theory or emptiness, and those who work on xinxing will think that this aspect of me is enough, or that I am more important in this aspect, and others are not important. , It's not right, it's not like this.

Look at the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, he emphasized the mentality, he told you to liberate your heart, but you have to notice that no one in Zen starts to cultivate after enlightenment. After enlightenment, they practice steadily from the beginning of precepts. This way, so we shouldn’t just look at the back and the front. If you don’t see the people at the stage of asceticism before enlightenment, then you have learned wrong and incompletely learned.

(XNUMX)Use the counting device to develop the habit of diligent work

 (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!Also...Are there any questions?it is good!Let me report another piece of news. There are prizes to be sent to you today, and some of you have invited them!Because we were transported by air and the plane could not take too much, I only brought some counters with you.Then this counter has another purpose. I hope you all use your spare time to count Buddha recitations every day. It doesn’t matter whether you schedule classes sooner or later. The most important thing is to encourage you to recite Buddha counts in your free time and count these. ..You don't need to spend any more time deliberately, because everyone is busy, right?You use the time you walk, the time you take the subway, or you drive. Driving cannot be calculated, but you can calculate a time, about how many Buddhist names you can recite at your speed, and the time to go to the toilet. Some people have a bad stomach for half an hour. Wow!You can recite a lot of Buddhist titles, and there is time to be in a daze. Try it, and you can recite at least XNUMX sentences a day.

I usually want to say wow!I calculate that it seems difficult to recite Buddha for one to two thousand and a half days. In fact, if you really do it, you will find that XNUMX sentences are easy, but it doesn’t matter whether XNUMX sentences or XNUMX sentences are fine. We have one on Facebook. Recite the Buddha's dedication area, help you...all the obligation to help you this general dedication, your own dedication is not the same as everyone's dedication.Every Saturday afternoon, you will count all the children who recite your prayers this week, one to two hundred sentences, two to three hundred sentences a week, three or four-year-old children can also add to our general dedication, we now have a weekly total How many backtracks are there?

You can recite a week by yourself, at most XNUMX or XNUMX. At that time, I went to the Buddha One. In addition to the six incense sticks a day, I chanted XNUMX sentences. In addition to the six incense sticks, take a shower and eat. , I’m walking, I’m reading when someone rests, and it’s XNUMX sentences at most, so I can’t go up again.

Oh!This is the case for a person at most, but we have an average of more than XNUMX million sentences in a week. Only a week, there are so many totals on average. We do the total dedication together. This is powerful and can benefit everything in the law world. The sentient beings are not just us and the people around us in the future.This is a... After many people participated in the Huixiang, his benefit was too great, why?Because the whole family is chanting Buddhism, it's easy to become fellow daoists!It doesn't matter if you don't listen to the scriptures, it doesn't matter if you don't learn Buddhism, you can always read a few sentences!

Everyone recites the Buddha together and turns into a Buddha-like family. Then, the most important thing is to develop this habit of working hard every day without knowing it. If you just usually do morning and evening classes, morning and evening classes for an hour, or half an hour. , In fact, you are all lazy, right?Will be lazy, because I used to be lazy too.When you are a layman, you can’t be lazy in the dojo. Everyone will go to class together in the morning and evening. You will definitely be lazy in class. It’s hard to last. But we participate in this...This chanting dedication does not limit the number of you, and it’s in your free time. You can count the time, it’s easy and you will find it too easy, and very happy, you will like to do this very much, unconsciously find that you are working hard, and you will constantly schedule lessons every day.

I used to study Buddhism for so many years, and I couldn’t develop a habit of setting a course. I was too lazy, or there were too many obstacles. Now you can do it easily with this method. It doesn’t matter if he has a hundred sentences a day. There are a thousand sentences in one week!You can participate in the chanting of the Buddha, and share this message with you.

(twenty)Do your best to keep the precepts even if you are not perfect

 (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 we have almost too much time. Please tell me later that it is not convenient for some fellow practitioners to go back. Now they are a little reluctant to give up. Will you?I feel a little reluctant. It’s the second time to sit here today. I feel very kind. There are videos and photos taken today. I took a lot of photos!

Everyone... we will also share it on Facebook. After that, there will be causes and questions...

Fellow practitioners: Master, I would like to ask, when is the latest time when chanting is not allowed?

Teacher: What do you read?

Fellow practitioners: recite the scriptures.

Teacher: What time is it!

Fellow practitioners: You can read it.

Teacher: There is no limit. The great virtues of the Patriarch of the People have been working hard all day and all night without rest.

Fellow practitioners: Is it necessary to be a vegetarian to hold the bodhisattva vows?

Teacher: No!It’s not necessary to be a vegetarian to hold the precepts of a Bodhisattva, but at least one of his precepts is six days of fasts, six days a month, but if you listen to me, you will know that it’s too simple and you can do it. If you really break the precepts, you will have Way to repent.If you are really not sure about the sixth day of fasting, don’t take this precept. Yes, our Brahma Net Sutra has ten heavy and XNUMX light precepts. There are a total of fifty-eight precepts, big and small, which one do you think you are now There is no way to hold it, you can not hold it for now.

Of course, if you accept the bodhisattva vows, you will follow you from life to life, and you will always have the opportunity to be a bodhisattva, but you can’t take every precept in this life to perfection. It doesn’t matter, just like the five precepts, the five precepts. There are also less points. You can receive less points, you can receive more points, and you can receive full points. That's how you can get points.If you receive two precepts, it doesn’t matter if you can't accept all five precepts. If you take two precepts and one precept, it is called less points. If you take the precepts, you will be Upasai or Upayi!The men are Upasai, laymen, you are not qualified to be laymen if you are not ordained!It's just a family member, and when you receive the ordination... the males are Upasai, and the Upayi women are Upayi.

If you receive less points, you will get less points for Upasai and Upayi. Three or four points are more points for Upasai and Upayi. All five points are full marks, and there are such points. Therefore, the precepts do not mean that each item is accepted.You are sure you can accept it, so can everyone accept it, right?And we take it slowly, we learn one and accept one, in case this one is accidentally committed, repent, there is a way to repent, it is not so scary... If there is such a scary XNUMX, it would have been hell!Article XNUMX how do you learn?

Learned it all overnight, is it possible?It's impossible, always take the precepts first, then learn the precepts, and then take them one by one. This way, the same, this is the right time!Don't think about how well I have to learn before you ask for the precepts. You will never learn well, and I assure you that you will never learn well and hold it badly, because there is no blessing of the Three Jewels, and it is easy to learn wrong and go wrong!Oh, it's dangerous, and keeping the precepts will make you wrong!

(XNUMX) Ask for the blessing of the Three Jewels

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

Any question?

Fellow practitioners: Can I hold the bodhisattva vows again?

Teacher: You can hold it again, yes, you can take the gain vows. The question you asked is too good. This is what I just wanted to talk about. You can take the gain vows many times, many times.Increasing benefits is called gaining precepts. Increasing benefits. Every time you receive, there will be every blessing. Of course, you don't have to be fun, but a pious heart. Then the blessing of the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha of the Three Treasures Hall will be different.

Then you have to be well-founded. Not everyone has such great blessings to participate in this puja for taking precepts, especially the number of pure precepts is decreasing. Really!There are fewer and fewer people who keep the precepts and are pure.Attorney Guo Qing is a rare elder with pure precepts in modern times. I don’t have time to elaborate on this introduction, but I also rely on him to learn the precepts. I also get close to him to learn the precepts. We generally feel that we are holding the precepts very well. Well, it’s enough to die. Actually, it’s not good. At home, we have the duty to be at home, the precepts to be kept, and there are standards for being a monk. We should all learn well and keep it as much as possible. This is the right thing to do.

We all have defects in holding, which are not corresponding to our Taoism. How can there be a lazy Buddhist disciple who does not earnestly learn the precepts? It can't be said that your Taoism is false, so what do you wish for? There will be no induction, no use, this is very important, good!If we continue to talk about it, it will be dawn, and we will go back and forth, and we will clap our hands together.

I wish to use this merit to solemn the Pure Land of Buddha, report the fourfold grace, and go through three ways of suffering,

If there are people who have seen or heard, they will fully develop the bodhichitta and do this to live in the kingdom of bliss.

Namo Amitabha!Namo Amitabha!Namo Amitabha!

Nanwu Pharmacist Tathagata!Nanwu Pharmacist Tathagata!Nanwu Pharmacist Tathagata.

it is good!This is fairer.
