(XNUMX) Talking about the origins of the special lectures on propagating the Dharma in Brazil

Respected abbot of Amitabha Temple, Master Shouzhi is compassionate, and respected great virtues, bodhisattvas are compassionate.
The fate of our gathering today is very rare.Generally speaking, this cause and condition are the blessings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, so the current cause and condition, the most important factor, I personally feel that our abbot is called by the mercy of our abbot.The origin of this, I am here to give you a report.

This time, Xue Ni came to Brazil to establish Dharma fate, and also to the United States, this is the first time itinerary is arranged.At first it was an invitation from the American Purity Society, so I arranged to come to Brazil by the way. Then I came to Brazil, which was originally just for reward.Because more than four years ago, when I started teaching on Facebook, I knew a good friend at that time. She was Brazilian, a very devout Catholic, and a female congregation.Well, she has been with me on Facebook for about two years. The whole process is actually very special. She is a Catholic herself, but she also came to learn Buddhism from us.The attitude is very respectful and sincere, so after about two years, she invited me, hoping that I could come to Brazil to teach Dharma.

I was very surprised by the reason why I was invited to turn to the Falun, because this is not a trivial matter! This is the relationship between the country and the relationship between the teaching and the teaching! Through this invitation event, it is possible to show the superiority of this.At that time, as soon as she raised it, I cherished and moved very much, so I immediately agreed.Then I started arranging, only to find out after checking, wow!The airfare from Taiwan to Brazil is so expensive. At that time, I had the impression of NT$XNUMX or NT$XNUMX, and it seemed to be a direct flight. It was not very clear because I didn’t know Brazil very well at the time. In addition, I knew the woman who invited me. She is an ordinary housewife with poor financial conditions, but she is an environmentalist, and her job is related to this, and she is a very ideal person.Therefore, under the evaluation of all aspects, I thought, it is better to wait for future causes.But I told her that I will definitely come because of fate in the future.Because at that time, if I arranged it right away, I would spend XNUMX to XNUMX yuan on air tickets for the itinerary for a few days. This was supported by the ten parties!My money is spent on the cutting edge. Even if I want to promote the Dharma, I have to plan carefully. In addition, her financial situation is not very good.

She was very motivated and said she was going to beg for alms, and she wanted to buy me a plane ticket, various arrangements.I think it was like that at the time. If it were really done at the time, it would not be appropriate, so I will cancel it temporarily.Well, this cause and fate will mature after another two years, because what we have said must be done, then this time the United States invites the United States to buy air tickets with us! Arrange everything, and my own on Facebook The students are also very supportive, so I arranged for Brazil as a fate.

So when I came to Brazil this time, I wanted to go see her! Because it was temporary! I decided to arrange it temporarily, but I didn’t expect that she would ask me to give a lecture again, so I gave a lecture in their hometown, and this lecture Very special, this cause is worth mentioning.This cause is in Meijing City, a part of Meijing CityHoses, This is Brazilian, right?A park should be regarded as a national park protection area. Then their park usually has regular lectures on environmental protection.

So this time, on November XNUMXth, I originally invited a nun, but the nun had a big obstacle, but it was cancelled. I heard that the reason for the cancellation was that I was worried that the religious color was too heavy, but I didn’t expect it to be me in the end. Go to present this lecture.That's also very strange!I am also a monk representing Buddhism, but we do not have this obstacle, and we have a very special relationship with you over there. Then I think this should have a great relationship with the Buddha and Bodhisattva.There is also the topic I mentioned: "Purification of Body, Mind, and Environmental Protection", so this topic is less sensitive.

Then I advocated that everyone should be vegetarian, and even put forward the idea of ​​not eating after lunch, we are monks and precepts.There is also refusal to drink milk, because milk will pollute the environment. It takes a lot of food to raise dairy cows. If everyone does not drink milk, there will be no refugees in Africa. There is such a big difference.There is also this pollution emitted by dairy cows. Everyone can't think of it! Their pollution is more serious than the smoke emitted by cars.Then after communicating with you on this topic, because all the people here are environmentalists and animal personnel.They are all professionals, so they listened, they were very helpful and very corresponding, and many people started to become vegetarian, so the lecture was very special.

(XNUMX) The four disciples sincerely support and achieve together  (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, before this, I didn’t know that there could be such a complete effect. One of the most important reasons for the achievement of this cause is the achievement of our Master Shouzhi.Because all the people here are Brazilians and they all use Portuguese to translate, so when he invited me to hold this lecture, I had a headache.Damn!How to translate this? I can't even speak English well, and I still speak Portuguese.Later I thought that since he was so caring, we tried our best and he couldn't find a Chinese to translate, so I had no choice but to think of a way.I will let me be a student in the United States! Because she is a Ph.D. Ph.D. is very good, and she is good at all aspects of computer science. Anyway, it will be good for her.I told her to go online and check it out for me to see if there are any Buddhist groups near the beautiful city in Brazil that can participate in this cause. As a result, I checked and checked a lot. There is also a Tibetan dojo, and one of them is us. Mi Tuo Temple.

At that time, I must first understand the situation in the dojo. Because the Tibetan tantric practice is not corresponding to ours, I will not consider it. Then I will look at it again. Our Master Shouzhi and the introduction of Mi Tuo Temple. Look, Master Shouzhi looks impressive, I also know a little bit of common sense!The mage looks very compassionate, what do you think?Thicker lips are more compassionate. This is from the face, of course!We still have a month or two to communicate in this process, or a little longer.When I asked him to ask for help, he was very loyal and really implemented the attitude of our monks as a family.

In fact, none of us here should be beginners! Many of them are old cultivators, and we all know that Buddhism is the same as in society, where dragons and snakes are mixed.The same goes for the dojo, there are good ones, and there are evil ones.So, in fact, according to reason, our monks are a family, and even our four disciples are all a family.This is theoretically speaking, but it is not necessarily true, because everyone is still ordinary beings! They are still in the process of practicing hard!Therefore, we can only look at this phenomenon with tolerance.So actually, it’s really not easy for everyone to cooperate with some things, so when I communicated with Master Shouzhi on the message, I felt that he was really willing to help. This is a kind of affection. A kind of heart.

Otherwise, I am a woman who came so far alone and could not even find the body if something happened. This is difficult to tell, so we are also cautious.Then the cause and fate were smooth and mature, and Master Shouzhi helped me find Lay Zheng, one of the great guardians of our Mi Tuo Temple.Well, I just mentioned that the two-hour environmental protection lecture of the Fa conference was so successful.The most important thing is that I think this is the origin. If there is no intention of Master Shouzhi, then, with his blessing to inspire feelings, and the heart of Zheng Lay, this Fa conference would not be so complete.It is indeed very influential, even the supervisor of their environmental protection unit, and even every audience is very happy.And not only did they talk about the topic of environmental protection, they asked them questions on the spot, and they also enthusiastically asked me questions about Buddhism; what sect am I practicing?How is the routine of our monks?What is Dharma?They are actually interested in these questions, and they have to be more mindful.

If it's Christianity, it won't be possible!Christianity, we really hope to be able to follow the Catholics and be friends with Buddhism.Don't misunderstand that we are the devil again. Some people misunderstand that we are the devil. It doesn't matter, don't be nervous.The majority of Christians are still very good, because they are also very happy every day, and it is also very good to be loved by God.It's just that there may be a little misunderstanding.Therefore, this time of exchange, through such an excellent translation by Jushi Zheng, the two sides have a very good one, forged a good relationship and understanding of the Dharma, so this is of great significance.What made us think even more was that after our master Shouzhi had already made a careful video recording, I went back and watched it carefully, and I found that our Zheng Jushi spoke better than me. His translation! His demeanor! And that intention, Concentrated, he really took the camera away.

This is true, why?Because the first one is a motivation, he is really committed to doing it.Secondly, it is his first time, maybe it is the first time he has participated in such translation throughout the whole process, or it is the first time to cooperate with me, then we should not underestimate the first time.I am considered an old fried dough stick. Sometimes the old fried dough stick does not necessarily perform well. It depends on the feeling or the lecture sometimes depends on the feeling, the reaction of the audience, and the overall magnetic field.However, according to the scriptures, there is a sentence that makes a lot of sense: If you start your mind, you are more than a Buddha!So let’s not underestimate this first time. Our first experience is actually the most beautiful and perfect.So if you can keep your first intention, the first intention, that degree, in fact, you will be more than enough to be a Buddha, just look!So the first performance is actually the best.

It's just that we feel pressured because of the people involved! All kinds of things will feel not good enough.This kind of goodness, where does this perfection look? It's not from the proficiency, some proficient is like the old fritters, which can't move people.The first heart is the most precious and perfect because he is very sincere and works very hard to do one thing.If there is no such dedication, it is not the first intention, and if there is no intention, it is false.The one who really started the heart really touched the heavens and the people, the heavens and the earth, the ghosts and gods are moved, and they all come to support.So why are the three altars of precepts, monks and monks! Those who have just become monks, there is no practice! There is no proof! But many people like to go to the precepts to protect, because the heart of the first heart is very brave and diligent, then you The merits of maintaining these new precepts are boundless.So you see, everything is arranged so well.This time, I was so happy.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Yishan

(XNUMX) Briefly talk about Master Shouzhi's compassionate accomplishment and dharma  (This time, the drafting master has not yet set the school, if there is a typo, please report the error, the merit is boundless!)

Came to Brazil, in this lecture, with the help of Master Shouzhi, and then Zheng Jushi devoted himself wholeheartedly to draw a successful conclusion in the park of Meijing City.That’s because everyone’s fate is so good along the way. Master Shouzhi probably thinks that I’m still passing, at least he won’t come here to pollute everyone. If I’m a wicked person, he will definitely not invite me, because everyone It’s because the fate is very good. Through the exchanges and exchanges of information on the Internet for a period of time, and the actual cooperation this time, he is also very compassionate, and then he sincerely invited me to come here to form fate with everyone. .

That’s because he has helped me so much! He has also achieved such a special predestined condition and dharma predestined. If I don’t hurry, it won’t work, so I should have been there for the past few days. It’s still in the beautiful scenery. City, and then temporarily arranged to come here for three days.In fact, it is said to repay the favor, and it cannot be said like that. In fact, it is also the achievement of Master Shouzhi. Compassion made me come here this opportunity to form a bond with everyone. Therefore, I believe that our cause here is related to Meijing City. Friends of other sects have completely different causes and conditions, but I believe that this kind of superiority is more than that. Why?Because getting rapport over there is the beginning, and getting rapport with everyone is also about being vegetarian! Keeping the precepts! I also teach them yoga and worship.But we don't want them to give up their beliefs and follow us in practice. There is no need, as long as they can get the benefits they need.So it's a superficial fate over there! Although it is of great significance, but after all, the Dharma Fate is still very shallow.

Then we are different here. Our fate! It is the fate of the West! After this fate is formed, we will bless each other and achieve each other. What will be the future result?Everyone can become a Buddha!So at this moment, although we only have the cause of one lecture, if everyone feels the Fa happy, even if it only has one thought or only understands one sentence, it will be useful in the whole life.why?Our goal in this life is to be reborn in the blissful world, as long as we can truly die and become a Buddha!This one becomes a Buddha! You can get everything, complete wisdom, and complete blessings. Therefore, in our lecture today, this is extraordinary! It can be said that it far exceeds the Dharma Destiny of Jingjing City.Well, of course, this greatest merit is our abbot monk. Behind the abbot monk there is a group of great protectors. Oh, this has also opened my eyes for me these days, because I always thought that Brazil was a bit behind, and then I wanted to go to the Amazon. Take a walk over there and make friends with black people, no, with those indigenous people in Africa.

I thought it was such a situation, but I didn't expect to come here! Our guardians here have cultivated so well.And that virtue! You see, it’s not easy to protect our Mi Tuo Temple for more than ten years. This is something we can only see when we experience it with our heart.But it’s not difficult to see from the aspect that they have cultivated very well, they look very gentle, and the men are very considerate...not the kind of fierce and vicious, they are all very good, I can see it, so this fate It’s not easy. I’m thinking about how overseas Chinese can be overseas Chinese. It’s not easy to achieve this level! Because it’s hard for you to learn Buddhism overseas. It’s not ordinary if you can come here. Good roots.

Because I have been studying Buddhism for more than ten years, and I have been studying Buddhism for almost twenty years. I have been connected with Dharma in many places at home and abroad, not only in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, mainland China, Taiwan, and many places. Indeed, many dojos are very lively.Of course there will be more people than here, and there are fewer overseas Chinese after all.However, most of them are engaged in excitement, cultivating blessings and forming bonds.The motivation is not very true. Those who come to recite the Buddha do not really love to recite the Buddha, and then the ones who come to support are not really coming to cultivate fortune, but to engage in fame and reputation and power struggle, so it seems to be very prosperous.

In fact, it is truly a pure land for practical cultivation, a real dojo, you have to have a way, there are not many real dojos.So now I look here and see this cause, I feel very surprised!I am very impressed!Behind this! There are also many people, including the leadership of our Master, and everyone's genuine intentions, only then can there be a way to achieve such results.Then this is the common cause of all of us, everyone's blessing, and your blessing. I'm probably just here to arrange flowers first.Your blessings are really great. In the future, you will live in this place and practice together, and you will die as a Buddha as soon as the time comes. This is a great advantage, even more than the tens of billions you have earned in the world.

Because in the Paradise of Elysium, there is gold everywhere on the road! Diamonds! You have everything you want, it's just like a stone, nothing, nothing unusual, so the things in this world are really nothing remarkable. Go for it, even if you get it. So what? So I think that the fellow practitioners who came here today have a very special chanting of Buddhism. The tune is a mainland tune. After listening to it, I feel very familiar, very happy, and the magnetic field is very good.

(XNUMX) Constantly check whether your heart is truly eager to survive for 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!)

So, should we? I want to make a questionnaire first. We are here for everyone to study and practice together. We should know the usual teachings of Master Shouzhi.What do we recite for?The purpose of reciting the Buddha is to ask to be born in the world of bliss, right?Take a questionnaire. Those who have already issued a vow to be born in Paradise and become a Buddha, please raise their hands.Don't laugh anymore, there are too many surprises, don't be embarrassed, raise your hand first.At this time, as long as you want to go, you don't have to think that I have the confidence to go or whatever, you can raise your hand as long as you want to go.Not a lie, right!Oops! I was scared to death. Almost no one raised their hands just now. You are welcome. I will have another questionnaire, which may be more difficult to answer. You are so polite now.

Okay, not bad!It’s already more than half of the time. I’m just asking if you have a vow to go. I’m not asking you to go right away. I’ve asked before, you really asked to raise your hands right away, but I was the only one, and I was the only one who raised their hands. , More than a hundred lotus friends, I said that you have been chanting for more than ten years in Buddhism!right?I immediately passed the test. I recite the Buddha every day and asked for death. As a result, I said that we will have a seven-day Buddha and die immediately at the end of the seven days. Do you want to leave? Those who want to go, please raise your hand, I’m not asking now. You guys! It's so cute, and the reaction is so fast, then that's sincere.

A lot of them are fake! Don't think that you are deliberately deceiving, but you are yourself. We beings are greedy, hateful and deluded, and you will deceive yourself unknowingly!So this is not surprising, I have watched a lot and I am not easy to be deceived. Every time I heard it before, oh!This lotus is friendly and heartfelt!So moved!Why is the Dao-mind so strong, and the result is all right? What is the most common thing, the old Bodhisattva?You see, many old Bodhisattvas recite Buddha! Those who seek death.

Then there is a koan that is very typical, that is, it is very representative.An old Bodhisattva went to the monastery every day and cried to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva: "My daughter-in-law abused me and married me. My son didn't love me and didn't obey me." Nian Nian Nian... complains like this every day, cry!He said very sadly, "Amitabha, you come to pick me up now! I'll go with you right away." As a result, one day, the incense lamp master of the temple thought, "Really? I cried like this. Let me try. She clicked, it was real or fake.” As a result, one day Master hid under the Buddha table. Some Buddha tables in mainland China are covered with tablecloths and hide inside.

Then one day, the old Bodhisattva came again, often.She came again the next day, started the whole set again, and started crying again. She was also crying very sad, crying very sad, then you have to believe it, that is, I will tell you right now, I am too bitter, indeed this world is very Suffering, we often just have this idea and don't want to stay.As a result, even though it was so bitter! I cried so sad! Then when that day came, Master Xiang Deng wiped her tears after she had finished crying, and she felt better and wiped it.At this time, Master Xiang Lan made a voice, deliberately making a voice under the Buddha table: "Are you really going? You really want to go, I will take you to the Paradise of Bliss now, okay?".

Just a very gentle voice appeared from under the Buddha table. As a result, when the old Bodhisattva heard it, hey? Alas! Is there a ghost? Where does the sound come from?Did not see Amitabha, heard the voice.She took a look, her heart began to grow hairy. The feelings and painful feelings were gone. She thought if it was really a Buddha coming: "Please give me a few more days, Amitabha, I will go back and deal with it first. "Finding a reason, she still dare not say no, for fear of offending the Buddha, find a reason to quickly slip away.This is really typical.Many old Bodhisattvas have suffered so much throughout their lives. Some are poor, and their daughter-in-law is not filial. That is really very pitiful!But you told her to go, should she go?not necessarily.So we usually, let alone our young people, oh! I still want to marry a wife!I still want to marry a good husband!I still want to do a big business..., so whether our intention is true or not is not necessarily true.

I'm asking again now, are you really going?Hey! Give it one more time, this time it will count!It seems a little bit missing, really or not?Then you just held it for fun, I am analyzing now, you know, what is death?If there is no majesty to the world of bliss, and if there is anyone who can't really understand the five turbid worlds in this world, the surviving life is all false, and all ten and nine are false.Well, our method is actually very simple. Ten thousand reincarnated Buddhas, without any conditions, no matter how stupid you are, even if you are demented, you are already unconscious, anyone, a cat or a dog can die. , All animals can die, too many examples.

(XNUMX) Tired of Li Sapo, Pleasure for 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 power of Dharma is great and incredible. I'm afraid that you don't really want to go. Master Ouyi said: "Whether you will die or not depends on whether you believe in aspirations." If you have faith, you believe that there is Amitabha and the world of bliss. If you are willing to go, then it's OK. When the time comes, Amitabha will pick you up. It's that simple.We can't cultivate other methods, meditation, flying to escape, you still talk about concentration even if you do not hold the five precepts? This method does not need to be practiced, it is unconditional, it is saved by the power of Amitabha Buddha, everyone can go. Really, don't be afraid.

Encountering it is like encountering this method, just like encountering a treasure. Everyone can get a perfect treasure. Just like a treasure, I am afraid that you dare not take it, and dare not take it! If you are too good for you, you will Afraid! Really or false? You don’t believe it! Do you? All beings have no blessings, no wisdom, and are really kind to you. You’ll be scared! Right? You’re used to being abused and suffering. .Now people are giving you one million. Do you dare to take one million? You absolutely dare not take it, "Oh, from now on... I wonder if this million is a conspiracy? Is it stolen money? Yes. Bring me here, it’s going to cause me to go to jail?", right? You don’t believe it, "Oh, what is your purpose?" Is it? "It’s so good to me, what’s the purpose?" You don’t have any at all. There are ways to believe, so the most difficult aspect of our approach is to believe and wish.

So, which two kinds of people are most likely to be satisfied with faith and wish? The kind of people who are the most silly and the most stupid.Uegen Richi, he understands that in the Dao, the world of bliss really exists, the real road is gold, and the seven treasures are majestic everywhere. He also believes that in this world of five turbid and evil, nothing is true, all is empty, all is False, all some fame, wealth, status, and even our body are also false. The combination of earth, water, fire and wind is all false, temporary, dependent, and just a temporary convergence of causes and conditions.

The people from Shanggen Lizhi understand the Dao, so his wish is true. He will put it down, without hesitation, and leave. This is a cesspit. Why don't you go? Eat shit in it, every day. Live this way.That's right! We are the worm in the dungpit, so scary!? But it is true, because each of us is deceived by the phenomena we see in front of our eyes: "Wow, the abalone and shark fin are so delicious! What is so fun...", it seems that it is true, but it is temporary, so this kind of happiness is "bad and miserable" in Buddhism, but it is not true.

For the time being, when you don’t have it, it’s very painful for you to lose! Hearing people say I love you, oh, I don’t love you tomorrow, you just say, "I'm going to die, I don't want to live...", you today When there is money, the stocks fall, wow! There is nothing, and many people commit suicide, right? That suffering will appear immediately, so happiness is not true. Nothing in this world is true. The more you cling to it, you will The more pain and lack of greed will be induced, and then you will be more miserable. In fact, it is all suffering. Those who are wise can understand, so they are very cool, and they just leave.

The Elysium is so solemn and perfect. If you don't go, then you're really stupid, right? There is no way to go, do you want to take your children? Yes! Go together.No, don’t say: "Oh, Yoshou! Tell him to die now at such a young age." Not to die, but to die, not to tell your child to die, Elysium is so good, you want to go. Why don't you let them go? You see, this test will be known as soon as it is tested.If you really understand that the Elysium is so great and the world is so bitter, why not let your children go? Why not let them be a monk and practice? Don't get infected with the sufferings of this world.

Especially women who are married, you young people can hear clearly, don't go astray, and those who are not married, try to really think about it.If you are married, then you can confess your fate! Pay your debts happily, and when the debts are over, you can go to the Paradise of Bliss and become a Buddha, and you have to fulfill your duties.If you don’t have that kind of karma, don’t just fall into it. It’s very bitter. I once heard people giving birth to a caesarean section. Yesterday I heard our senior sister Afang talk about it, oops! I got goose bumps all I heard. It's painful! And it's dangerous.

I’ve heard the screaming of the parturient woman before, wow! It scared me to death, it’s horrible! Then after taking care of the children, I have to take care of my grandchildren. What’s so good about working like this for the rest of my life? What’s good about women getting married? How comfortable, right? Wandering around, too comfortable, don’t you envy it? I just shave my hair off, and it’s cooler, don’t be afraid to say, "Oh! I can't do a hairstyle!" Right? "Not beautiful." !" You don’t know how cool it is to shave. I don’t believe you go to shave and watch. Short-term ordination is also possible! One week, shave and watch.This is true happiness, and it's easy to disappear. We shouldn't be trapped by the five desires, wealth, color, food and sleep in the world. That is suffering or not happiness, so there is nothing that can't go away if we really understand the truth.

(XNUMX) Gain true faith and keep foolish thinking of 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 other one is very stupid, he is stupid! Do you understand Taiwanese? Is there a way? You can understand all Fujian dialects.He is stupid, what do you say to him, he just said, "Oh... like this... Amitabha! Oh, it's good to go there! It's too poisonous here, okay, let's go together." I will still find companions! If you want to go, I will also go, everyone can continue to contact; otherwise, you see that this world is dead now, and you don’t know where to go in the next life, right? Our family loves each other and we have a very good relationship. People, even more, have to go to the world of bliss. After they go, they will never be separated! Because everyone has magical powers and perfect wisdom, they will never be separated.

If you are here, oops! You and me! If you can’t separate it, it’s even worse! The black and white impermanence will take you away. There is no way, I can’t find it in the next life, I don’t know where to go, I don’t know where to find it. To.So stupid, if someone invites you to go, what kind of person is that? Let’s not say that he is stupid. In fact, he is the person with the most kind roots, that is, he is very kind and does not doubt others.Parents! Good friends introduce to you, tell you, Master tells you, you will not doubt that Master will not harm you, Master will harm you, and the Three Jewels will harm you yourself and go to hell. What good is it? No good! It is impossible to eat and have nothing to do to deceive others, right?

Some people are very kind, so they won’t doubt it, this kind of person can also die, and his beliefs and wishes are true, he won’t doubt it.The most troublesome thing is that I think I’m smart. Several of my students are Ph.Ds, Ph.Ds! That mind, I scolded them, that mind is broken, and the brain is broken. Reading as a nerd, especially biology. People who are engaged in science and technology disciplines, philosophy people are better. Philosophy is still closer to life...some truths.

You do that kind of technological stuff. Except for your majors, everything else is almost incompetent and incompetent. I scolded students very fiercely. I cursed behind closed doors. I said that you are really incompetent after studying and getting a Ph.D. They don’t even take care of themselves, they don’t know how to cook rice, they don’t know how to sweep the ground, they don’t even go back to see their parents, filial piety to support their parents, and they don’t understand. Do you know? My heart is broken when I read and I have no feelings. I just know that I want to make money. Then I am very arrogant. I am a PhD! So the higher my students read, the worse I fix them.

Someone talked back to me and said, "Master, I think you are biased against the Ph.D." Talk back to me, I said you think you are biased, then you go! If you are biased! Then you don't believe what I teach. !? Then you go! Look, it's not easy to teach! The more books you read, not everyone, but generally speaking, she knows what she sees, she feels smart, and I am better than you.Yes! Many of my students are better than me. I can’t. I don’t know how to use computers. I don’t know how to do many things. They are professional! They think, teacher, I’m better than you! So what we said, She may not be able to listen to every sentence, this kind of student is difficult to teach.Because of our Buddhism, what the Three Jewels teach us is the truth of life, the science of life, and the realm that we can't even imagine. The supreme wisdom can't even be imagined by you. Then you can only be obedient. If you teach you how to do it, just do it. If you do it slowly, you will realize it. You will become enlightened and become enlightened.

If you are not obedient, doubt this, doubt that, and tell you that there is a world of bliss, you don’t believe it. If you don’t believe it, then you don’t need to talk about it, right? Tell you to practice precepts and recite the Buddha, and you will be transformed. Destiny, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to become a Buddha. You can also have a good family. You can ask for wealth, begging for children and children, you can do it according to the methods taught by the Three Treasures. Things are done, there is a wishful fulfillment.But the most important thing is that you have to be obedient. If you follow your own ideas and do not have respect, then it will be useless for you to stay in Buddhism for a long time. No matter how you recite the Buddha, there will be no induction or induction.

Reading "Ah! This Amitabha! It doesn't work, it doesn't work." It's also blamed that the Three Jewels have no magic power. In fact, we can't find a way to get started. What is the way to get started? Respectfully, be obedient. .So you are very clever, you understand this teaching, and the teaching you just told you understand, the grandeur of the world of bliss, the turbulent evil in this world.Or you just have to learn to be honest and stupid. The more stupid you are, the greater your achievement. In three years, you have not died! In three years, you will develop wisdom.

Respectful excerpts from disciple Yishan

(XNUMX) Observe the precepts and recite the Buddha and 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!)

Recite the Buddha honestly, recite the Buddha respectfully and happily one sentence after another. You don’t need to practice kung fu, and you don’t say how good you want to read. Just read it honestly. This respectful heart will be able to respond. It’s okay for a year, and even stupid old Bodhisattvas can do it. A child is even more powerful. He will have induction in half a year or a year. All inductions are not necessarily about seeing the Buddha or seeing anything. Sometimes the magical powers are also us. be careful.

What is the biggest induction? From a very stupid person, suddenly became enlightened and opened up wisdom, because your heart is very pure.You know our sixth ancestor of Zen, Huineng, you know? He is only twenty-four or five years old. Because he doesn't know words and his brain is very simple, he will not say that he is great and arrogant, so he just heard a word. , "Diamond Sutra": "The mind should be born without a place to live." At the moment there is no delusion in the mind. When there is no delusion, the concentration is present, wow! Suddenly the Buddha nature and wisdom that we have in our hearts all appear Come.So you young people should know how to read a book well, not by memorizing, but by calming down.

Calm your mind, through chanting the Buddha, through meditation, everyone sees what you have to practice, honestly cut off evil and practice good, keep the precepts and recite the Buddha, to a certain level, it does not take too long, six months, one year, three years, the longest Three years, truly honest, don’t have to wait for death, you can achieve it now, and suddenly that wisdom is fully developed.The sixth ancestor Huineng didn’t know words. After he was enlightened, he would know. You can ask him for any reason, he can tell you everything, he knows everything! Compared to that great scientist and great philosopher, his ability and wisdom More than those people, President! Some of these great people in our world are not as good as him, because he has become a Buddha and has reached Consummation.You see, that's why we enter Buddhism! It's really a treasure.

Entering Buddhism and practicing well, we can get the reward of becoming a Buddha, and we can get it now; but here in Brazil, I see that the reward is so big, it’s not easy to get it now. I just said, three years, You can get it after three years of hard work.It doesn't matter if it really doesn't work, we just keep practicing for a long time, really want to make a living, see through the world, the slowest life, and rebirth to the Paradise of Bliss, you can become a Buddha.

This is not just talking to you and comforting you, it is true! Otherwise, why should I let go? Many young people of us now become monks! We are not saying that we have been traumatized by feelings, or that we have run out of money and have no money. , I had to go to Buddhism to eat together. Buddhism’s food is not good! The food of monks is not good. If you don’t practice and don’t digest, you will have diarrhea after eating. It’s better to make money at home. It’s a good day.That is to develop a big heart, to save sentient beings, so that you can eat the food in Buddhism, and you can eat it, otherwise you have to go to the three evil ways in your next life to pay off your debts.

It’s because we have seen and truly understood the triumph of the Three Jewels. You can get such great benefits in Buddhism, and nothing in the world can compare to any benefits. In addition, we have a karma to become a monk, and we can also get such a happy life at home. Good, but if you have, you don’t have the troubles of your family, and your family is willing to do it, then you can, plus you can be more motivated, be a celestial teacher, and be willing to be the Buddha of the Tathagata family. Then if you set your mind on becoming a monk, accept the test, and improve yourself, the benefits you get now will be even greater.

Of course, being a monk is different, and the types of challenges to be accepted are different.But no matter what, if you are a monk, you can get it as long as you are in Buddhism. In the end, you can get the reward of becoming a Buddha, but you have to go the right way! If you go the wrong way, you can see if you go to the Mi Tuo Temple. Wrong! Because our Mi Tuo Temple relies on the power of Amitabha Buddha, we don't need to cultivate. He simply unconditionally gives us the merits of his cultivation. It is so simple.

If we rely on our own cultivation! I think our fellow practitioners here (shaking their heads) really want to tell the truth. You can’t praise you casually, and you can’t praise you casually. Why? Because your good fortune is relatively large, and it is difficult to get good fortune. Spiritual.Ah, ten of the nine said that they are going to die, that’s right! You still have a lot of that thing to pursue! Men: I’m going to do something big! Even monks can’t be obsessed if they want to build temples. No matter how great my merits are, this will not work. I have to follow the fate.

If you have a predestined relationship, try to bear it as much as possible. If you don’t have a predestined condition, you will pursue it deliberately. It may not be necessary for you to gain fame and gain. We must be very careful about this. It's not that it's bad to cultivate a blessing for yourself, it's also good to cultivate blessings. After all, these are all good deeds, but the results are different for different thoughts.

(XNUMX) Recitation of Buddhism is the result of Buddhahood and Buddhahood  (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 most extraordinary thing is to be able to completely let go of the world, there is no self in the moment, you have no self in the moment, you are an Arahant! What a joke, saint! That is really the moment to become holy, so the heart of faith can really arise. Let go of this world, this is no longer ordinary people, so the scripture praises us that the Buddha chanting is a Fentari flower! The Fentari flower that blooms only once in three thousand years is so rare and so precious that it is the best among people. The master, the good person, the wonderful person, praised by the great virtues of the Patriarch.

Don’t look at us being so stupid, looking stupid, with no wisdom and no blessings. Our true Buddha chants surpass other sects. Why? Because they are not blessed by the power of Buddha, or just a part of it. He mainly relies on his own repairs.Relying on our own cultivation, what can we cultivate? It is very limited! Right?Then we are relying on the good roots accumulated since the last life and the Dharma predestined with Amitabha Buddha. That is why we have this blessing, this blessing, the good roots, merits, and predestined conditions are sufficient. This "Amitabha Sutra" says: " It is not allowed to live in the other country with few good roots and good destiny." There are no other conditions, only good roots, good luck, and destiny.

We have had a relationship with Amitabha in our past lives. We have good roots in our own lives. When we meet, we are willing to believe, and only if we are blessed will we meet. When we meet, we are willing to believe and have good roots.Good roots, merits, and karma are sufficient, so that we can accept Amitabha’s immeasurable calamities as we have completed cultivation, and he became a Buddha ten calamities ago. According to the scriptures, the world of bliss has been waiting for us a long time ago. As long as we are willing to accept it, because we are His children! It is normal for children to receive the inheritance of their parents. Don’t be afraid. Don’t say: "Don’t lie to me. I don’t need to cultivate to become a Buddha? You don’t have to lie. Me, can I become a Buddha without cultivating?".

This is true. Don’t be like the poor man in the Lotus Sutra. There is a very interesting analogy in the Lotus Sutra. There is a rich elder, and this rich elder is like Amitabha.The rich elder had a child. He went out to play when he was a child, but he was taken away by others. He was taken away, could not be found, was missing, and the child was lost.I met one day fifty years later, and this father recognized it at a glance!This is the son of my son who has been separated for fifty years, wow! He is also old, he must hurry back to find his son and inherit the property! He called two servants, hurry up, he is very anxious, wow! Seeing his son, find The lost son was very happy! Very excited, called him two servants, very burly, to bring him back.

Originally, he was going to bring him back, but what happened? As a result, his son saw that because he was a beggar! He was a beggar when he wandered for fifty years, just like us, we suffer in this world! Just like beggars Ai.Really, no matter how rich people are in the eyes of heaven and human beings, they are beggars. That is nothing great! As a result, because he has been a beggar for too long, when he saw two sturdy men walking towards him, he I was scared, do you know? To take him away, to bring him back.

Originally wanted to bring him back to inherit the property, but because he didn’t recognize him, he hadn’t seen his father in XNUMX years. Of course he didn’t know, and he didn’t believe it was good. Do you know? Me, where are you going to take me? Are you going to harm me? I dare not go with them, dare not go with these two people.In the end, the two men insisted on taking him away, because the master wanted to tell him to do what he explained, and he must be taken away. As a result, I changed, and fainted in fear, and fainted on the spot. Look, you passed out like this.

If we don’t believe in Amitabha’s salvation, just like this poor man, it’s really yours. If you want you to go back and inherit your property, you won’t dare to die. You are so scared that you fainted.Said that this person is really funny, cute, and pitiful.We sentient beings are very pitiful. Such good luck made us meet. It is really a tribulation to millions of catastrophes, but we have also encountered the tribulations. If we dare not bear it, we dare not accept it, then you missed it on the spot.So you must, depending on what kind of person you want to be, one is to gain roots and to benefit from wisdom, and the other is to learn honestly.

To really see through the impermanence of this world! We have such a big reward for people here! How do you fix it? Asking you to leave here as soon as possible? It’s actually quite difficult, right? There are many things that are still being released. Reluctant to let go! It is difficult for men to let go of their careers, women's feelings, and children to let go.It doesn't matter, we can cultivate the view of impermanence, and you won’t find it hard for you to repay the great! Cultivating the view of impermanence.This is impermanence for the next second! Everyone knows that if you don’t come in one breath, there will be nothing! I also heard our sister Afang talk about this, and it’s quite fun. She said, "Come... my friend came to Brazil, I live here in Brazil. The Brazilian cheese is so delicious. I eat it every day.. I eat it every day. I eat a lot, and I lose my face when I eat it.”

What is crooked? Stroke! You can eat a stroke just by eating only cheese, you see, this is impermanence! Isn’t it? Not to mention there are so many out there... like robbers, thieves, and all kinds of things. These... these horrible causes, bad causes, and impermanence will come at any time! So what must we do? At least you can’t let go, there is no way, but we must know that we can’t wait any longer and go back, no Go back and start now. You have to recite the Buddha every day, and you have to recite! The habit of recitation, the recitation while walking, and the recitation while waiting for others! You can also recite while driving, and you will not quarrel with others, and you will not be in a bad mood, unless you To deal with things, that is different, that special situation, you are not angry inside.

If your heart is angry and irritable, what does it mean? You did not recite the Buddha, your heart left the Tao, and your heart was upset.Then we reciting the Buddha can help us peace of mind. After you feel at ease, you can turn the bad into the auspicious. There are many things. Don’t be afraid of disasters and resolve them for you. So you have to develop the habit of reciting the Buddha. I won’t force you. Whenever you go, he will come later. It’s exactly that we are very happy to be children of Amitabha, without pressure, and completely without conditions, but we must read it first, and let it go. , Reading habits.Then this vow must be issued. It doesn’t matter if you make a vow with others stupidly. Just like the people with deep roots of goodness I just mentioned, who are fools, they can go to rebirth, and you will become a Buddha as soon as you die! It is a person with sufficient wisdom.

(XNUMX) Learning yoga and worshiping Buddha is the highest enjoyment for body and soul  (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 time is up?! Why is it so fast? I haven't started to talk about the subject yet. I was going to talk to you about a very special section, but I didn't have time to talk about it.It is the method of chanting Buddha in the "Amitabha Sutra". I have never talked about this content because it emphasizes that the sound of chanting Buddha has eight characteristics: clear, smooth, sad, bright, subtle, subtle, harmonious, and elegant.This realm is very high, deep, and beautiful. It can help us to experience the taste of the Buddha's name while chanting, and I haven't talked about a single sentence yet.It doesn't matter, I will talk about it later if there is a cause, and then I will record it, and then I will give it to our abbot monk to share with you.In addition, I was supposed to teach everyone yoga and worship Buddha, should I teach it? Yes.Okay, let's seize the time now, we invite....

Put your palms together, and this abdominal breathing is very important to delete, and abdominal breathing, you know, did you see it? Okay, OK, then I won't talk about it.Abdominal breathing means that the belly bulges out and retracts when vomiting. That's it, it's the opposite of normal breathing.Then start to put your hands together, close your chin, don't raise your head, you will fall down! It will be unstable! When you close your chin, you will stand firm.

Okay, then slowly go down, slowly straighten your hands, and now all speed up.When we worship, the slower we usually formally worship, the better, you can pray for one and a half hours, wow! I will worship you as a master, that requires a deep concentration to slow down.You can see her praying like this, this action is right.Then, yes, at this time, try to lean your face toward your knees, so that the tendons will be tightened.If you pull it here, it will have the effect of stretching, and then the effect will be achieved. Many old Bodhisattvas can't bend, right?You can just stop here.

Then when I get here, the tendons are pulled very comfortable, and the hips are lowered at the beginning, and the knees can be bent.When you bend down, your hands can naturally reach the ground, so don't worry about your bones being so soft.Then the knee, the knee is slowly bend, this time you will press on the stomach, our internal organs, internal organs can be pressed, you can exercise, other exercises can't be done.You can't beat your internal organs, right?If it breaks, it will be troublesome.Yes, so this action is to stimulate our internal organs.

The action is also well done. In this place, most people will not do well, that is, you have to do it. Yes, this is called Diamond Boxing. Her gesture, one direction, you have to be straight, straight, straight. Come in, is it very tight, right? It's very tight! Only then will it be pulled, and it will have that effect.You remember the direction you are coming in straight, and when you come back, you will be straight. If you turn left and right, you won’t feel it, right?Yes, that's it? Straight, straight direction, that's it.

This movement of turning the palms, if you say that you turn the palms, if you turn from the left to the right, the feeling of turning from the left to the right, there is no tension.If it's straight, you can now look at it, and it's very comfortable.Yes, straight, straight inward, right?Then bend out again, that's it! If you are, if we turn the palms like this, if we turn from the right to the right, is it not feeling, and there is no tension.But we are now bending inside, coming straight in, straight, and then like this, and then turn around and turn the palms.This tendon is stretched very tightly, and it will be very comfortable after it is stretched.

We still have a visualization movement, which we won’t talk about now.We are praying to the Buddha, so don't worship in the Daxiong Hall for this action, unless the Master arranges for you, and everyone worships the Buddha and cultivates together.You usually worship at home, do your homework, go to other monasteries, go to the dojo. Don’t just lift it up like this at the beginning. People will treat you as if you’re upset, because they don’t know this. What are you doing.So this is for you to do your spiritual homework. You usually go to the monastery, and you just do the traditional three-pray worship of the Buddha.

Okay, at this time, this is a yoga movement, all our movements, this Buddha worship includes the reflection of western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine acupoints, as well as yoga movements. These three parts are combined.This is not my own invention. One of our masters in Taiwan is called Daozheng Master. She is a Western medicine. She is a Western medicine. Then there is a Daxing Master who is a Chinese medicine doctor. I combine their holding movements and add myself. I learned yoga at home before, and these three are combined.The spirit of yoga is similar to our practice of Buddhism.We mainly want to pull up in this action. You have to have the feeling of pulling up, hanging yourself in the air. You are not like a look, it is useless.You have to work hard, every movement must work hard, and must cooperate with the abdominal breathing and luck.

Our Chinese qi is a great learning, foreigners don’t even know, where is qi? I can’t see it.Why do we sweat for three prayers and ten minutes? Because we breathe through our abdomen for luck, so we have to work hard for every action!But this effort will not make you tired, it will give you the effect of exercise. That qi, qi and blood will go away, and the qi will flow, so the effect is very good. Very quickly, you will sweat after three worships.So when you go up and up, it will be better if you can stop a little longer, and let it go when you are tired.Then it feels as if the upper body is separated from our lower body. It feels like you have to hang it up, and it feels like you have to pull it up. This is the standard movement.

In this way, you will sweat once, and you don’t have to pray for three times.Do you know that? Do you know? Feel it? It's a lot worse, if you just make a move, you won't feel it.You know this, these key points.Then it ends, no matter if you pray one prayer, or ten prayers, one hundred prayers, at the end you will let go of your palms, ask questions, and let go of your palms.You can worship anywhere, as long as you have a prayer.Well, we thank her for her demonstration.Do you know that?Everyone should study hard.
