Discussion on Examples of the Issues of Being a Monk
2021/10/06
Friends^^ An An Auspicious!
Today I am in great interest. I would like to have an in-depth exchange with you on the topic of "returning the secular". Friends are also welcome to leave a message as much as they like. As long as they are well-intentioned, they can feel free to post them, and I will try my best to reply and communicate.In addition, I should take myself as an example to predict that I will be "probably" on June 2029, 6 (if I did not count the wrong date), that is, on the 15th anniversary of my ordination, I will declare my secular life and end my life in Buddhism. The cause and fate of the stage, if after this day, if I still have a fate with Buddhism, then there will probably no longer be the thought of returning to the vulgar afterwards.
The word "return to vulgarity" is a derogatory term in most people's understanding, meaning retreat, negativity, failure... and so on.In the Buddha's mouth, returning to the vulgar is just the phenomenon of the birth and death of another kind of identity and practice.It is a neutral word, neither good nor evil.Therefore, in the precepts, monks can have seven opportunities to return to the vulgar. For example, if you want to get married and experience love, or you have to be a soldier, or you have to deal with something at home, etc., you can go back to the teacher at any time and ask for the precepts. The public has only one chance to return to the vulgarity. Once declared to return to the vulgarity, there will be no chance in this life to receive the ordination and become a bhikkhuni, but they can still become novices.
It’s not easy to become a monk or ordination, and it’s very simple to go back to secularity. As long as you make a formal verbal declaration to a person who understands people, you are still secular (instead of deciding whether or not a person is qualified to decide whether or not a person. I have returned to vulgarity.) If by then I am really vulgar, not only will I give up my identity as a bhikkhuni, I will never accept my layman status when I first entered Buddhism. I will completely abandon all the identity tags in Buddhism and become A free person who is more in harmony with this world, for me, this will be a kind of ascension, rather than the result of so-called retreat, negativity, or failure, because at this moment, my physical and mental condition is better than Most people are good, merit and wisdom are still quite enough to use. The idea of thinking about being vulgar is not a temporary impulse. I'm just living with my fate. What kind of fate is helpful to my spiritual improvement, I will face it with the fate, and will not be influenced by the subjective perceptions of others. Life is in your own hands and actively creates the value of life. Only in this way can it conform to the laws of nature.
The monks in the period of the end of the Dharma are very different from the past Dharma-rectification and even the ancient virtues of the monks.Some people fled to Buddhism because they were too poor to eat.Some people are in pain and unable to deal with themselves, so they fled to Buddhism to seek peace.Some people get involved in Buddhism to enjoy all kinds of conveniences and satisfy their own desires for rights and status...Of course, there are still people who have real righteous thoughts and Dao-mindedness in order to attain the supreme bodhi and seek help for the cause of the Dao.And my karma for becoming a monk is not so noble, but it is not so inferior. My karma for becoming a monk can be said to be destined in this life. It was in a situation that I did not expect, when I was talking to the master for the first time. I was persuaded to shave at a young age.At that time, I hadn't really entered the Buddhist sangha. I just listened to the scriptures and taught myself at home. I wanted to ask students to immigrate to the perfect world of bliss. concept.When I really realized that I started to be like a monk, that was when I received the two monks and three altars under the seat of the next old monk in Hong Kong in 2002. I was lucky at that time. Among the more than XNUMX ordinations , I was chosen as the waiter of Karma Achali (should be drenched in the light of the Holy One Master). In the ceremony of ordination, there is a section where the three masters will go around and pass all the ring of the tiger (five body throwing on the ground) on the ground. The child’s head passed by, and as the waiter holding the tool, I followed the monk behind. During the whole process of nearly two hours, the tears in my eyes did not stop for a moment, and my sight was not clear for a moment. During the period when Duan slowly orbited, my bodhichitta was unconsciously aroused by that sacred and solemn scene. At that time, during the whole process, my heart was almost completely free of distracting thoughts, only full and extremely powerful. The righteous thoughts can only be deeply admired and grateful to the Blessed One (Sakyamuni), so he naturally initiated a desire to become a "true Blessed One" who can be respected and admired like the Blessed One. In the future, I will be able to unconditionally spread all sentient beings just like the blessed world's grace to save my Dharma, in return for the great grace that I have saved at this moment.Today, more than XNUMX years after becoming a monk, when I think of this ordination situation again, I am still full of passion. As long as I taste it once, I will be useful for my life. I am really grateful.
But today, why did I have the idea of being vulgar again?It's not that I'm going to abandon Buddhism, nor is it that I am troubled and retreat from Taoism, but that I can see clearly and follow the cause and conditions.Nowadays, Buddhism is full of the skill of Dharma meetings and Buddha affairs. There are few opportunities to really use me to promote Dhamma. And the practice pattern of living in the Sangha has sometimes become a constraint.Objectively speaking, if you are in the traditional jungle system, you can still lay a considerable foundation for beginners, develop good living habits, and have the opportunity to establish the righteous thoughts and righteous actions of the good law of human nature. On the path of ascension and liberation, and even the realization of the bodhisattva path’s experience and training, it may appear to be a lot of obstacles. The more motivated, the more capable people, the easier it will be to attract all kinds of suppressions called moral norms... , I won’t talk about the details of this part. People who have lived in the Sangha will naturally understand that this is also an inevitable phenomenon in the Ordinary Sangha of the end of Dharma.Therefore, I think about giving myself and the Sangha a few more years. If there is fate at that time, I will dispel the idea of returning to the vulgarity afterwards. If no fate, then from now on, I will cherish these last days even more. After all, I have adapted and liked the role of a monk so much, and I am willing to fully believe in and practice the Dharma, but if I really need to let go of these attachments to goodness, I will become even more selfless. Being immersed in the boundless red dust of the universe, I am also willing to rejoice and follow the fate. I believe that everything is the best blessing of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and I am confident that I can always feel useful and happy.
Finally, I would also like to express my gratitude to my master, the master of upper enlightenment. If he hadn’t had such a difficult path to become a monk, I might not have been able to make it to this day, because it was he. When I had no idea about the Buddhism Sangha, I took the initiative to become a monk. At that time, there were many resident pure people in the dojo, and they had been cultivating for a long time, and the master had not yet agreed to help them ordination.It was also not long after he asked me to shave my hair for the second time and return to my permanent residence, but he had no reason to follow the law, or because his master brother could not tolerate me, he expelled me from the Sangha, and told me to return to the vulgarity in person! Kind of angry words..., if it weren’t for him at that time with such a great blow to the fate of Kusugaren (Hui), I would not be able to take a sigh of relief (death is not a vulgarity). To be able to achieve a little bit of achievement, and the reason why I can make such a calm prediction today is that I am already willing to escape and let go of the curse of karma in the past.Now I have no obvious ups and downs in my heart for Master Enlightenment, and even for all human factors. The different identities of being a monk or being a secular are just a sign of appearance. It is also the natural manifestation of my usefulness on the Tao. Calm, calm, natural and surrendered to the present. This is the state in which practitioners should stay in the heart. No matter how the relative causes and conditions change in the future, I will not deviate from this right path. , Will continue to devote oneself to practice until the director achieves Bodhi Consummation.
