Cultivation can be cultivated from the branches and leaves, or it can be cultivated from the root, from the branches and leaves, basically, it is rare for one or two people out of tens of thousands of people to achieve success, because in the Saha world, the practice is always advancing and retreating.If you know how to cultivate from the root, then you can cultivate all the cultivations at one time, and realize all the realizations at one time, and the effect is quick and incredible. The Huayan Sutra says that all dharmas are based on the mind. This is the fundamental truth of the Dependent Origination of the Dharma Realm. Since all dharmas are based on the mind, if it is considered a difficult thing to practice at the beginning, plus ordinary people’s cultivation always advances and retreats. , without the confidence of achievement in the heart, there is basically no possibility of achievement at all.So first of all, we must first believe that Buddha Shakyamuni said when he was proving the Way under the Bodhi tree: "It's amazing! It's amazing! All sentient beings have the wisdom and virtue of the Tathagata, but they cannot achieve it with delusional attachments." As long as delusional attachments are removed, Right now, you can realize the inherent wisdom and virtue of the Tathagata.If you truly believe this sentence in your heart, you will have hope of success in your future practice.The so-called: "Faith is the source of the Tao, the mother of merit and virtue, and grows the roots of all good things." Now I have really come here because I have really come here, and when I look back, I realize that the biggest obstacle to all living beings is here.If you really have deep roots of goodness, plus you believe that you can achieve it, and you can follow the guidance of the Three Jewels, you can say that you will be able to realize the Tao right now, and then you will start to cultivate after enlightenment.

The Buddhist scriptures say that there are XNUMX ways to practice, and there are countless ways to expand. This is just to adapt to the gradual and convenient way of practice for most people who have not yet matured in their cultivation roots. The real core of Buddhism is only one way, that is, clear mind. Seeing one's nature, seeing one's nature, one becomes a Buddha. This is the only transcendent Dafa that does not share worldly laws.As long as you are really willing to start directly in this direction, you don't have to worry about those XNUMX endless branches and leaves of cultivation practice. When you truly understand your mind and see your nature and enter your own door, you will be able to Consummate in the realm of your own mind right now. This is a once-for-all, incredible result.Let me give you a simple example. If a person is in a bad mood and has poor ability, you have been teaching him to start learning to be a good person, to do good deeds, and to sacrifice himself for others. What should he do? Can he do it?Even if it makes sense to agree with you, he can't do it, because he is in a state of being unable to protect himself, suffering unbearably, not pleasing to anyone, and unable to raise his energy. Therefore, the most effective method at this time is First, let him be in a good mood and confident. As long as he is in a good mood and has confidence, then everyone will be pleasing to the eye, and he will be willing to cultivate anything, because it can be both joyful and beneficial, so why not do it?Therefore, cultivation is to transform from the heart. This is the fundamental foundation. After the heart is transformed, the state of mind will be different, and the outside world will be different, and the practice will be relaxed and happy.

So how do you make yourself feel good and have real confidence?We must first find our own treasures, that is, the self-nature mentioned here. In our self-nature, we already have all the truth, goodness and wisdom, all the immeasurable treasures and blessings, and all the talents and abilities. You don't need to go out to learn from a teacher and learn the same way, just go back to your home and get it.According to the Buddhist scriptures, in our self-nature is a piece of pure light, pure goodness and purity, as long as we enter here, our good side will appear, our mood will become happy, and we will immediately emerge extraordinary and unique. After entering, we can take these back and face the test of all the people and things in the world. At that time, you will feel as if you have suddenly become an invincible superman. There is nothing in the world that can be hard to beat You, no one will dislike you, no one will make you unhappy, everyone is a Buddha and Bodhisattva in your eyes, and your performance will make people feel like a Buddha and Bodhisattva, so everyone Everyone likes to be close to you, and you will naturally have no disadvantage. Every day you live a life like a paradise of bliss. At this stage, you will start to cultivate after enlightenment, and you will cultivate without cultivation. Cultivation becomes a very happy and easy thing. At that time, the five precepts, the ten virtues, the three studies, the six degrees, the ten vows, and even all the good dharmas in the world will be improved one by one, and implemented one by one, until one's own strength is also perfected, blessed and wisdom can be perfected, and one can achieve Buddhahood. , This is the fastest, easiest, and most extraordinary practice stage for achievement.

So how can we go straight to the Self?If the level is very poor and stupid people can get in?Usually this kind of person is more likely to go straight into the self, but it is half a bucket of water, and it is not easy for those who are not really smart and dishonest to enter.Because the key to going straight into the self is to be truly obedient, and the methods described in other chapters in this book are all interconnected, so here I will mention a simple and straight-forward blueprint.First of all, you must learn to calm your mind, no matter what method you use, you must chant Buddha, meditate, and do things. First, let your body and mind stop paying attention to the things in the world. No, in the interval after finishing, you must put your body and mind on meditation, through listening to sutras, reciting Buddha, meditating, worshipping Buddha... first study and practice like this for three years, maybe in less than three months, you will directly enter your own nature, that's it A simple straight path.During this meditation period, you should try to get rid of all bad habits in your life. This is to help you meditate smoothly, such as eating meaty food, eating snacks, having fun, watching TV, going out, etc. Let it go first, concentrate on learning this unique martial art of becoming a Buddha, and then pay attention to your thoughts at all times. You must not let it show evil thoughts. Any thoughts of greed, hatred and delusion must be destroyed first, and no When you go to recall the past and plan the future, just focus on the present meditation at all times. As long as you focus on doing one thing well, the goal is to "meditate", so that the mind will always live in silence. Don't ask for it, it doesn't interfere with what you should eat and do in your life, and try to live as simply as possible, which is more conducive to meditation.The Buddhist scriptures say: "Peaceful aurora is enlightened." When your mind is calm to a certain level, and no thoughts will arise from time to time, then at some inadvertent moment, you will suddenly have a supernatural power, and this supernatural energy will appear. It's so big that it makes you look like another person at the moment, completely reborn, and you don't need to do any special cultivation, and you'll become another saint. Such a big change itself is an incredible magical power.And this cause and effect is also very reasonable, because all these treasures are inherent in our self-nature, so through the method of meditation, to find the way to enter the door of the self-nature, then it is also reasonable and reasonable for you to become a wealthy elder overnight. in accordance with the law of cause and effect.Having said that, as long as you do it, you will definitely gain benefits. I won’t explain much about the truth here, because this way of becoming a Buddha cannot be understood with the brain, so no matter how much reasoning and theories you understand, it’s a waste. Time, you must first enter the self-nature from the gate of "meditation", and then learn a lot. At that time, you can get twice the result with half the effort, and it will be really useful.
