(XNUMX) Our Buddha-nature pure mind and delusion mind are one

(XNUMX) Our Buddha-nature pure mind and delusion mind are one

Good afternoon, fellow practitioners, Amitabha!Today is the one of the Buddha we learn every month. So this fellow lotus, who has worked hard for a day today, and has made bad merits, you should be very happy when you recite the Buddha, but the president cares about you very much and asks me I'm here to talk to you about the method of reciting the Buddha. I hope that your realm will be improved even more and that chanting can be more joyful, so we will delay you a little time here. Let’s talk about the method of reciting the Buddha. I believe it’s over. In the future, the taste of reciting the Buddha will be different later, the mood is different, the induction is different, you are so happy after seeing I have not said it, you really have a good root, but there is a way to have a good root, and you know how to do it. Only then can we receive the blessing of Buddha power, wow... that power is incredible, you can think stupidly, but it's very hard.

First of all, let’s talk about the origin of the Seven Buddhas. This fight against the Seven Buddhas is based on the "Amitabha Sutra" that we are going to study tonight. There is a passage "If one day goes to seven days, there is no confusion." Everyone is very familiar with the recitation of the Amitabha Sutra. This paragraph should be very clear. Based on this scripture, the great virtue of the Patriarch thinks that everyone, this intensive chanting of the Buddha, must be diligent in collecting evidence from one to seven days. It is possible to achieve the merits of rebirth, but this concept is the practice of other patriarchs and others. It is okay for the people of Regen to work hard on their own, and then cultivate themselves. This regards chanting Buddha as meditation, and thinks of this delusion. It’s okay, but it’s very hard work.

And the old Bodhisattva, do you have any kung fu when you recite the Buddha for so long?Is there less delusion?No, it's not bad if you don't read it more, right?Don’t talk about you, don’t doubt yourself. It’s like, "Oh, maybe I’m stupid!" No, I’m stupid just like you. I used to retreat to Buddha, but I still have a lot of delusions, and even more and more. In fact, this is not our stupid, this is normal, why?Worry is bodhi. Our Buddha nature, our pure mind and delusion and delusion are one mind, not two hearts, which are one body. We now recite the Buddha and want to practice Kungfu every day. We always want to take this delusion. Can you read it off?If you really read it to me, you will become an idiot. We can't become a Buddha. The truth is very deep. We also use this delusion to become a Buddha, not another second one. So there are too many hearts, and the righteous thoughts are dead anyway. , I don’t feel anymore, there is no life, then how to become a Buddha and save sentient beings, so don’t make any mistakes.

We recite the Buddha one sentence after another: Amitabha... Amitabha... seems to be fighting desperately against this delusion, treating it as an enemy, the more I read it, the more I read it, the more I read it, I used to read it like this, and I will lose my temper when I read it, because Inside the closed room, the door is closed and you can’t go out. It takes three months to close the room, and the room is not big. This one walks around the Buddha, wow... I feel my temper is getting bigger and bigger, and I almost hit the wall. Go up, why?That mood is fighting against delusion, "If you come out again, I will put you down, and I will crush you to death." Is there such a state of mind? It's not obvious, but maybe there is, do we want to recite the Buddha? Delusion, did you?Yes, it’s not. You don’t need to read it. We just need to read one sentence after another. Don’t have any thoughts. Don’t say that you have to read it. You have to be opposed to it. Then you will be very tired. The more you read, the more tired you will be. People are more relaxed, the more they read, the better the body, the more they read, the more joyful, why do we get tired as we read?It's like fighting a battle, wow... I'm exhausted.

Some lotus friends collapsed after being beaten on the seventh Buddha. They had to lie down for three days, recite the seven days and lie down for three days, and they had to be taken care of by others. I used to be like this. Why?Once I ran into a monk from the Seventh Lord, wow... he told us to chant the Buddha as soon as possible. He said that the louder we see the Buddha, the quieter we see the Little Buddha. If there is no sound, we can’t see the Buddha, so we are desperate. Chanting, and the speed is very fast: "Amitabha...Amitabha...", have you ever read it so fast?No, it’s very popular in Taiwan to go to the top to recite the Buddha and go up the mountain desperately. You see, we go from the bottom to the top of the mountain... Called the top. Isn’t it exhausting to run up the mountain?right?It really gave us accidentally enlightened Buddha samādhi, we died there too, and we have no strength to rebirth, so this state of mind is very important, this is not the correct way of thinking.

(XNUMX) When reciting the name of the Buddha, you must recite it with a penitent heart

(XNUMX) When reciting the name of the Buddha, you must recite it with a penitent heart

Recitation of the Buddha is very easy, and it is the highest enjoyment of life. In each Buddha's name, we can feel very happy, very relaxed, and very warm, without any pressure. It depends on whether we know how to use our heart. What I just said was a mistake. It’s a concept that other Patriarchs use their own Kungfu mentality. It can also be regarded as meditation, but it’s not our pure land practice. It looks like they are chanting Buddha, but their mentality is completely different. They are practising meditation and relying on their own strength, but our Pure Land Method relies on the power of the Buddha, so you don’t need to work so hard. The Buddha only looks at our deep and pitiful karma, so he has to make a vow to save us. How can we cultivate? It's bitter, that doesn't make sense, right?People are dying. You sent me such a difficult job. That doesn’t make sense, so how do we recite the Buddha?Of course, on the one hand, if we listen to the scriptures carefully and really know how to interact with Amitabha, in fact, you naturally know how to recite, but some practitioners have not yet sensed it.

So we are here to talk to everyone about what mood we should use when we recite the Buddha. From now on, don’t think that I’m going to practice Kungfu. Don’t say, "Oh! I see delusion and thoughts and then I am very annoying. "Don’t be so antagonistic, don’t care about it at all. It’s really normal to have delusions. In the future, you will only use this delusion mind to transform into an enlightened mind when you become a Buddha. So don’t worry about it, don’t care about it, just care about us. What should be regulated?Confession, do we have heavy karma, or we can’t feel it because it’s too heavy, right?Is it necessary to repent first?Therefore, when we recite the name of the Buddha, we must use a heart of repentance. We have to experience our own feelings. Have you ever repented? Have you ever felt sorry for someone?Is there a feeling of being ashamed of doing something wrong?Yes, sometimes the child is not taken care of, the grandson accidentally makes him fall, bumping his head, the family’s food is not cooked properly, and the husband doesn’t like to come back to eat. In short, half of them have some mistakes. , Then if we feel ashamed when we reflect on it?I'm very sorry to be sorry, just use this kind of mood.

We have created too many karma from life to life, we killed a lot of people, we killed a lot of people, and it was painful to kill a lot of people. This karma is very heavy, and even those who were killed by us are still in the three evils. Suffering in the Dao is still not free. If we know that our karma is so heavy, we recite the Buddha and chant one sentence after another. Oh, oh...Unknowingly, tears will stay. It’s really like this. I often say two or three sentences to me. At the beginning, wow...like a faucet, when we really cried, we cried for an hour or two until our eyes were swollen, confession, really, we have had too much karma since the beginning of the robbery, and created too much karma. Ah, so people who recite Buddhism, people who don’t cry, oh, really that heart hasn’t been opened yet, it just doesn’t have any feelings, we have to let our heart die first, and this heart will live first. Only in this way can we feel.

Whether it’s receiving the blessings of Buddha or all kinds of emotions, we have to feel it, not like a wooden person, like a machine, one sentence at a time, isn’t it... no wonder it’s tasteless, I don’t want to read it for a few days, if you don’t believe it, try it. , You use a penitent heart, you just think about it, and you know what bad things we have done. You think about that thing, with that kind of penitent heart, and in your heart you say Amitabha, and Amitabha Repent, don't you dare to apologize to your grievances and creditors, right?Then you face the Buddha Amitabha. When we are chanting, we don’t mean to walk in front of the Buddha and face the Buddha statue and start: "Oh, what did I do wrong, what I did." That is not true. You can recite the Buddha through chanting. During the process, you used this kind of repentance to tell Amitabha of your sins, and with this kind of mood, read, wow...you will find that you have no delusions at all, why?The delusion is existence that you can't notice at all. Your whole heart is as if you are in samādhi, you have been in the ashamed state of mind, and then you shed tears without knowing it. The tears have flowed out, and the karma is mostly eliminated. Soon, the karma will be eliminated quickly, but don't cry too loudly, wait until the person next to you is scared by you, and don't affect others when they practice together, and be considerate of others everywhere.

(XNUMX) How to recite Buddha with various moods and volumes

(XNUMX) How to recite Buddha with various moods and volumes

The voice of chanting Buddha is also the same. I mentioned it to me today. He hoped that the atmosphere of our chanting of Buddha would be good. Therefore, it is best for fellow practitioners to chant the voice. What I just said was with a heart of repentance. You have to read it out, you can hear it, and you don’t have to be too loud and harmonious to hear your own voice. We need to pay attention to the loudness and the loudness as a whole, not very sharp, and the whole audience listens to your voice alone. I thought it was very good. Everyone wanted to run but couldn’t run away. I abused others. It’s not good. You have to be considerate everywhere. It doesn’t make a sound. We sing it alone. I sing very hard and the overall atmosphere is not so harmonious. Make a sound, because it’s a group practice, so if you’re afraid of being too tired, don’t make it too loud. If you are in a good mood, such as a feeling of repentance, of course, maybe your natural volume may not be. It's too loud, unless you cry and cry, wow... if you can’t control it, you still have to control it. If you are too excited, go out and cry quickly, don’t affect others, you can come in after crying, then if it’s confession the mood is probably the volume. …This is natural, you don’t need to deliberately control it, go to that.. It will appear naturally.

One principle is to make a little voice for everyone. Why are you participating in joint meditation? In another mood, the volume may be very loud, and they are all chanting Buddha with gratitude and heart: "Oh, I feel very happy today. I’m in a very good mood, wow...the last few days I went out smoothly, everything I wanted to happen", it seemed that everything was solved at once, no trouble, then you are natural, wow...be physically and mentally happy, then this How did you feel at that time?Thanks, the blessings of the Buddha, I really help us to avoid disasters in the dark, we chant Buddhas have big Bodhisattvas waiting by their side day and night, they don’t need to rest, they don’t get paid (15:13), XNUMX Staying with us for four hours can’t be seen by ordinary people with the naked eye, so be grateful. If you have nothing to do, press your palms together and meditate in your heart: "Great Bodhisattva has worked hard for you, Amitabha has worked hard for you!" If you want to talk to them often like this, your heart will feel , Wow... I am so happy, so warm, so grateful, how can I feel bored?It is impossible to be in a bad mood or to be bored, and talk to them often.

Nowadays, people are very busy. Don’t be okay with your son and daughter-in-law and start grunting... Oh, people are so tired after hearing that they come back from get off work. You want to tell him whatever you think, good or bad. We have to pour out everything. Then no one can stand it. We will tell the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. It is okay to speak quietly by one person, or to speak in a voice. We can talk to them. The closest thing to us who recite the Buddha is Amitabha. If you want to have heart-to-heart with Him, how do you have heart-to-heart?You can speak alone, or you can talk to Him with your heart, or you can talk to Him through the Buddha's name when you are practising together, and when you recite the Buddha, Amitabha knows what we are thinking in every single Buddha's name. You are grateful, wow …The sound that you read, people next to you will feel, wow…with the blessing of your magnetic field, it’s different, he can feel that you are very happy, and the joy is chanting Buddha, so we must know how to use our heart.

The other thing is to feel that Buddha Amitabha is very close to us. When we are chanting this Buddha's name, it is as if we are chanting our relatives, and we need to use a kind of mood, what?The mood of self-cultivation is also possible, and there can be many different moods. The types mentioned today are more representative, because we have infinite admiration for Buddha Amitabha. He is "the king of the Buddha, the most respected in the light." , So every time we chant a Buddha's name, we can also give rise to a kind of admiration and respect for Him in our hearts, just like this Christian is looking at God, wow... the only true God, all people are sinners, and only one God is the true God. Gods are great, people are sinful people, and they are clearly divided. Then we are a little bit close to Amitabha, but not exactly the same. We rely on and admire Amitabha, no one in the world can surpass it. It’s better than the weight of Amitabha Buddha in our hearts. It’s okay to recite with this kind of extremely respectful and admiring heart.

(XNUMX) How to deal with delusions and sincerity from the heart to learn Buddhism and reciting Buddhism

(XNUMX) How to deal with delusions and sincerity from the heart to learn Buddhism and reciting Buddhism

Look at the kinds of things I just mentioned, it’s enough for you to be busy. Different moods, different...you can use different moods in different situations every day. A good mood means gratitude. It’s just to talk to Him, communicate, this It’s a kind of admiration, it’s okay, a bad mood, a repentant heart: "Oh, I’ve been fainted today with deep karma", it doesn’t matter if it’s faint, you just doze off and repent, or you can, or You can continue to recite, or you can recite very attentively at any time. How can you have time to pay attention to delusions? Don't pay attention to delusions. Although there is no such thing as there is no delusion, then don't you just practice kung fu, right?

Why do we have delusions, because we pay attention to it, it becomes more and more remarkable, wow... more and more self-righteous, more and more powerful, let us pay attention to it, just like children, children are very naughty, you always Pay attention to him. In fact, he is acting deliberately to show you. If you ignore him, wait a while and fall asleep. There is no drama, you keep saying, "It can't be like this, it can't be like that, oh! You can't do this, you are not obedient..." Oh!He did it deliberately. He saw that many people were paying attention to him, so he used that idea. There were more and more tricks, right?We are dealing with delusions in the same way, you keep paying attention to it, wow!It becomes more and more mad at every thought, so the best way is to ignore it.

The Great Virtue of the Patriarch often taught us not to ignore it. It's nothing wrong. Then what should we do if we ignore it?It’s very boring. Ignore it. We do more important things, that is, we can use these kinds of moods to recite the Buddha's name intently, and we can read each word clearly. This way of reading our feelings will change. Very good, and easy to concentrate, easy to sense, what does this mean?It means that we are sincere and respectful. If we are inattentive like this, are we sincere?No, if we really have the sincere heart, as the older generation said in the "Guan Jing", there is a sincere heart, a deep heart, and a desire to make a wish. We recite the Buddha just to ask for life, so we recite The goal during recitation is to be in the world of bliss. It is to sense the presence of Amitabha Buddha. With this mood, we must have the three minds. We will die in the older generation. When we feel the sense, we will be wow!The Three Sages are mighty and mighty. These Patriarchs have all the virtues, not just one person, wow!That scene is very vast, the stronger the induction, the more outstanding the reward.

Then the sincere heart that Master Shandao said is "Don’t look virtuous and diligent. Embrace falsehood. Greed, hate and hypocrisy." Of course not. It will fall after a few days. I won’t dare to come next time. Otherwise, I’ll think of a lot of reasons: "Oh, there’s something to be done today... something is going to happen tomorrow..." Come to recite Buddha?It is for the purpose of sincerely asking for rebirth. This goal is very clear. Come to learn Buddhism and recite Buddhism from the bottom of your heart. Under that condition, the induction will be very fast. Who do you want to talk to, and talk to demons with a false one?What is false will attract some demons, some ghosts and gods, why some people will be upper body?If your mind isn’t right, you really can feel those things. Now many ghosts and gods like to possess other people’s bodies. They also have to do things, they also have to practice, or if they do bad things, they have to borrow other people’s bodies, so we must To recite this Buddha's name with sincerity, sincere and respect, it is the blessing of Amitabha that is naturally induced, and it is absolutely impossible to be enchanted.

Many people participate in Zen, because they don’t have the blessings of Buddha power and rely on themselves, so when their minds are a little bit wrong, hypocritical, for selfishness, in order to feel magical powers, for whatever reason, the mind will come in very much. It’s easy, so it’s very dangerous for people who practice on their own. We must be able to recite this Buddha name with sincerity and be blessed by Amitabha. This sincerity is sincere. Don’t pretend that I like to recite Buddha, pretend that I work hard, then It doesn’t work, everyone doesn’t seem to know it. Our old fellow practitioners come to participate in the Seventh Buddha once a month. It’s very rare. They have good roots. The most important thing is to know what mood to recite the Buddha's name, so wait a moment. When you want to read, don’t think about it again: “Oh, I’m damned. Be clean. The mage just taught me, I’m going to be mentally diligent.” Then you start to fight this delusion. Wow, it’s miserable, then go wrong. Kung fu, no, relax, but relax is not a good sleep, and it should not be too loose to be moderate.

(XNUMX) How to master the taste of reciting Buddhism and enjoying Dharma joy

(XNUMX) How to master the joy of reciting the Buddha (how to master the taste of reciting the Buddha and enjoying the joy)

Relax and feel relaxed. It’s rare to come for a day on holiday today. There is no need for pots and pans at home. Children are noisy. Someone will come to look for it after the phone call. Such a quiet day and such a quiet dojo is for us to enjoy. Yes, enjoy reciting this Buddha's name, this is called Xiangqingfu, people are already here and are chanting, have we enjoyed this Qingfu? Have you felt it? If not, wouldn’t it be a pity, I’m already If you read it for nothing, you should use the feeling of enjoyment to read one sentence after another. If you have energy and strength, you should read it louder. If you don’t have the energy, it’s okay to speak quietly, but to give Wei that little face, don’t be silent. , He reads very hard, and with your voice, the magnetic field of the entire field of chanting will be more solemn. Everyone’s power is integrated. Wow, that’s harmonious. Everyone will do their best to create this magnetic field. come out.

In this way, everyone, this is called "Liu He Jing" what is said... "Seeing and understanding together", what does this mean? Anyway... Oh "intention and common wishes", everyone is equally immersed in this kind of chanting of Buddhism. Faxi, oh, do you think that if everyone knows how to pronounce like this, you will feel wow...every of us lotus buddies are closer than relatives and friends, just like a family, we are all in the same mood? When you recite the Buddha, you are all receiving the blessings of the Buddha, and then you are all enjoying the same Dharma happiness, wow... this kind of predestined relationship is too rare, will you find it very happy when you listen to the scriptures? I am very happy, and I have not read it. I'm all very happy, just saying this, I feel wow... it's great, you see that being able to recite the Buddha soberly and peacefully, this great blessing is not available to everyone.

Some people don’t know how to see the blessings in front of them. He just noticed his karma, he noticed that I was so drowsy, noticed my troubles, and brought the troubles at home to the Buddha Hall. For your own worries, when you enter the chanting hall, throw all your worries out of the door. Don’t bring them in. You bring them in and still think about it. No wonder you can’t enjoy the blessings of chanting Buddha. You just want to enjoy yourself when you come in. In the time of the church, every Buddha's name is in heart and communication with Amitabha, and we are talking to him. We have no place to say anything, we will recite the Buddha secretly and talk to Amitabha. If you want to say a lot, you just speak loudly. A little bit of chanting, after finishing chanting, wow...it's completely vented, all emotions are vented, and all emotions are vented. It is very simple to know how to recite the Buddha in this way, so that the old bodhisattva will know how to do it. This is called mindfulness, not forcefulness: " Wow... I'm desperately trying to practice your kung fu, and wanting to kill you." Oh!I feel tired just thinking about it, right?Mood is very important, and you will enjoy it when we adjust your mood.

Then, after we understand this method, and after we have tasted the joy of chanting the Buddha, then we should encourage ourselves to find time to chant as much as possible. It is best to stay at home when we don’t have time for meditation, and we can shut it down by ourselves. When I open the door, I close the door. From morning to night, I enjoy this all day long. Smart people, like me, I’ve always wanted to look for this opportunity to see it. It’s okay that my body can move. It’s okay to grow vegetables, and to sweep the floor. It doesn’t hinder the chanting of Buddha, but forbidden words, chanting all day long from morning to night, wow...you will feel like you are living like a god, because chanting Buddha is very enjoyable, of course Have to enjoy it all day, right?The more time, the better. If you recite like this in less than three years, you will be able to recite the samādhi of Buddhism. It’s terrible, unknowingly wow... How can I be so powerful, suddenly I can enter the world of bliss to drink the eight merits. Water, there is a fragrance on the body when I come back.

This is true. Everyone can do it. Now in the Jiuhua Mountains, there is a Bhikkhuni master who is XNUMX years old in the Jiuhua Mountains in mainland China. She is still there before she leaves. She has already attained the samādhi of Buddhism, because She still has Dharma destiny. Many people seek her to see a doctor. She just needs to touch her head to get better. Wow!She doesn’t have to take medicine or talk, because she doesn’t talk. She is chanting Buddhism from morning to night. She is very kung fu, and then she is very famous. Many TV stations go to interview her: "Oh, Master, why are you doing this? That’s great, how do you practice this kung fu?” Then the microphone and the camera were all directed at her, and she said “Amitabha...Amitabha...", how to ask her, she said, "Amitabha...", really deep concentration, really There is concentration, from morning to night, oops!I really admire her, and I want to do the same.

(XNUMX) "Zheng" means to do true and honest chanting of Buddha

(XNUMX) "Zheng" means to do true and honest chanting of Buddha

Seize the opportunity, you old Bodhisattvas seem to be very blessed. If you arrange your time, do so as long as you arrange it yourself. Don’t distract yourself, but of course you must first be able to understand what I just said and let yourself understand. When you recite the Buddha with your heart, you are very happy, otherwise you will feel, "Wow, chanting Buddha from morning to night is very hard, it’s half tired." You need to adjust your mood first so that you like to recite, and then you will hurry up and recite. You won’t get drowsy. Some of us are fatter and have poor blood circulation. Those are all karma. Drowsiness means namelessness and karma. Then we should walk as far as possible, sweep the floor, pull the grass, and chop when we are strong. Chopping wood, eh!It is good for the body, and it is good for treating drowsiness, and you will feel better, because your body’s blood circulation will be good, and your mood will be good. Maybe when you die, there will be no sickness at all. This is what we can do now, this Call it real.

We only need to rely on "belief and wish" when we rebirth in the bliss. After we truly believe in our wish, we must "do." This "do" is to do it, and to recite the Buddha honestly, but if you don't practice Kungfu, you will be tired of recitation, and it is true. Read with your heart, let yourself... think of a way to stay awake from morning to night, don’t be so drowsy all day long, and it’s not like that... what kind of polar bear, all day long, sleep in winter all the time. Not enough sleep, hibernation. Now many people are hibernating every day. The drowsiness is a long time and wastes time. They must hurry up to recite the Buddha, and then we will make our departed Ruixiang more special. We are not afraid that we only need to have faith and wish, but always Don’t say it’s ugly to walk away, oh... I’ve been ill for several months and let everyone take care of you. When people see, "Oh, how can Buddhist practitioners have such a bad skill to get sick so badly!", then compare it like this Ugly, we walked better.

There was also an old Bodhisattva and a Filipino layman in her eighties. She went to the temple to worship. After the worship, she had to walk out of the entrance of the main hall and just walked to the entrance of the main hall in the middle, and she just stood still. Then her daughter-in-law walked over to pull her, because it was not good to be in the middle of the door. As a result, she didn’t breathe after she passed away. She was so powerful. She went to finish incense and walked to the entrance of the hall, and died standing. She should be considered to have died on foot, walked, and stopped there when she walked, wow!This is really good, the old man, the old Bodhisattva didn’t say how high the kung fu was. No, it’s just chanting the Buddha honestly, but she knows how to use her heart, and she chants the Buddha joyfully every day, whenever she has time. Do not talk to others when reciting Buddha.

So you have to do two things now, one is to adjust the mentality of chanting Buddha, and the other is to cut off all the chatting time. There is nothing to talk about. It is more important to talk with Amitabha. Every time you talk, he will bless you. In one sentence, you will be closer to Him, "Wow... I think Amitabha has come to live in my heart." No monsters can get in. Don't be afraid. Then you will become more and more solemn. If you are in a good mood, your face will be better. , It’s getting better and better, how nice it is to live this kind of life every day, right?So this is very important. We have to go. This is called true work. We have to work hard. We should use our heart to recite this Buddha's name like this, and then we should hurry up and recite more.Okay, now the time is up. I won't delay everyone enjoying Buddha chanting, Amitabha!

Respectful excerpts from the disciple country and county (approved by Master Renjing)
