(1) Forming a law with Malaysia

Dear Presidents, Dear Fellows, Dear Organizers, Good evening, everyone!

Starting tonight, we are about to hold five consecutive days of lectures in the conference hall of the Widder Hotel in Muar.The cause and conditions for the initiation of this conference can be said to be completely blessed by the light of Amitabha Buddha.The main benefit of our Fa conference this time is, especially for us, the old fellow practitioners of the Three Pure Sect Associations in Muar. Secondly, of course, with such a special venue, I hope that there will be more beginners. Can come and learn together.So our organizer this time, as far as I know, he particularly hopes to be able to let all the old fellow practitioners of the Muar Jingzong Society learn from each other through the karma of turning the wheel of the Falun this time. Opportunity to communicate together.So this time we were able to gather the fellow practitioners of the three Pure Sects in Muar through this conference. This cause and condition can be said to be very rare and unprecedented.

So today is the first day of the Fa conference, and the practitioners participating in it are obvious, and it seems that there is a bit of yin and decay.It seems from this situation that it is true that our fellow practitioners and veteran monks in the Dharma-Ending period say that it is easier for women to achieve it.But it is indeed very rare. If it were not for the blessing of Amitabha's power and light, I am afraid it would not be easy.Therefore, it is a great honor for the final school to accept this prayer and return to our Muar area again to participate in this very meaningful study.At the same time, I am very grateful to the relevant persons in charge of our Weide Hotel for their kind support.

Not long ago, about a month ago, I was invited to our Muar Mahalari Pure Sect Society and had seven days of study with everyone.This cause is also very special. It can be said that since the establishment of the Mahalari Society, no master has given a lecture for seven consecutive days.In addition, the fellow initiates were very enthusiastic during the seven days of attendance; from the first day of forty to fifty people participated, it may be that the news was not well informed, until the last day it was full, and more than a hundred people couldn't be crowded.What is even more remarkable is that the fellow practitioners attending the meeting, whether they are beginners or old ginsengers, all have their faces filled with Dharma joy! Obviously all of them can receive the bright blessings of Amitabha! Fellow practitioners, it is true that good roots and merits are well-founded.So on the last day of the seven-day Fa conference, the practitioners were very motivated to ask for the three conversions or the five precepts.This kind of situation is also rare, so it is true that the number of fellow practitioners in Muar area who will be able to recite and become a Buddha in the future will definitely be quite large.So with this time, the cause and condition of coming back again, we still have five days here to discuss in depth.I hope that in addition to growing our old fellow practitioners and increasing their confidence in this method, of course, I also particularly hope that we will be the first to attend the lectures by the Miao Yin Jingzong Society and the fellow practitioners of the Muar Jingzong Society. We can also get the same induction.

So during these five days of lectures, we, the organizer, also specially prayed for the public, and hoped that at the end of each evening of lectures, we can arrange half an hour for everyone to ask questions on the spot.This will help everyone break through the current academic bottleneck in just five days more directly.I hope everyone can ask questions enthusiastically, but don't ask too hard. If it is too difficult, I will go back and ask Amitabha first.

The main scope of our study this time is the topic "The XNUMX Vows of Infinite Life Sutra" that we have set.This part is the range that we must learn for Buddhist chanting in the Pure Land. The forty-eight vows were proclaimed for us by Amitabha himself. Through the retelling of the Blessed One, then these forty-eight vows are also related to whether we can complete our studies in this life. achievement.

Therefore, we especially lead everyone this time, and we work together to deepen and continuously cultivate this core part, hoping to help everyone in a certain moment to be able to develop the confidence to decide to die.Everyone here, whether it is an old bodhisattva or a child, everyone has a chance, because our method is XNUMX% blessed by the power of Buddha! So as long as we use the right method, we will naturally be able to fully sense and completely in a certain moment. ’S entry.

(XNUMX) When encountering a monk, the master should ask for the law and do not play with it

(XNUMX) When encountering a monk, he should ask for the Dharma and do not play tricks

So first of all, I still have to briefly introduce myself, because today many fellow practitioners met for the first time.So at the same time, our CD-ROM this time is very likely to be circulated to provide for the public. I hope that all those who are destined to form Dharma destiny can now develop the confidence to decide to become a Buddha.So in order to prevent some fellow practitioners from seeing me, they always asked: "Why do you want to become a monk, Master? Why do you want to study Buddhism?" Some people asked, "Will it be a shame that you became a monk at such a young age?" I don't know how to answer, so I just take this opportunity to hope that in the future fellow practitioners will go to watch the CD by themselves if they have any questions. Sometimes I feel embarrassed to ask, how could it be a pity?

This one was particularly impressive. I used to befriend some fellow practitioners in various places in and outside the mainland. Then once I was waiting for a train at a train station in the mainland, and there was an oncoming man who looked like a handsome entrepreneur. Then he was very polite as soon as he walked over, and immediately stood up and let me sit, bowed at ninety degrees and said, "Master, please sit down."Did you know? The mainland is full of people. It’s really not easy to have an empty seat. Then I saw him being so polite, so I accepted to sit down. After sitting down, he was right next to me and introduced himself to me. At the same time I also talked about the understanding of the "Diamond Sutra". The "Diamond Sutra" is in the concept of ordinary people. If you can understand the principle of emptiness in the "Diamond Sutra", then maybe this person's realm is quite high.

Generally speaking, intellectuals like to talk about empty talk, just like our great writer of Su Dongpo, who always talks about empty talk and never sleeps at night.Because I was very polite and accepted the position he gave me, I had to listen patiently...After listening for a few minutes...I found out that I already knew how many levels he had, so I was still very polite to continue listening. He talked a few more times. I can't go on in minutes, because there is no expectation.Suddenly he changed his conversation, "Master, why do you want to be a monk? Isn't it a pity that you are a monk so young?" His tone was a little bit of a chattering, which made me feel humiliated. I was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. .

But of course he didn't have any bad intentions. This is the habit of the people of the world, and the conversation between men and women is probably the way they are used to.So when I heard it at the time, it actually didn't feel very good and I wasn't used to it.Then I'm not good at socializing, so my face is a bit pulled down right now. I have been sitting for a long time and being polite. Anyway, I have listened to your performance for a few minutes. At this time, I will not be polite to you.I said, "It's rare for you to meet a mage and a monk. Why don't you take the time to ask something that is helpful to you? Why am I going to be a monk? What does it matter to you if I become a monk?"

This is fierce! There is no way, because I felt humiliated at the time. In fact, in my heart, I didn't mean to blame him.It’s just that I always feel that in terms of the previous concept, the conversation between men and women needs to be a little measured.Not to mention to the monks! It seems that it is always impolite to talk casually, then he was very embarrassed at that time, but fortunately he was full of grace, if he didn't turn his face, I really didn't know how to deal with it.

So I took this opportunity to introduce myself briefly. Although I feel that I don’t have anything particularly worth introducing, I always give you an account of my personal learning experience.

(XNUMX) Inspiring the karma of learning Buddhism

(XNUMX) Inspiring the karma of learning Buddhism

I encountered Buddhism in 1996, about 15 years ago. It was an accidental opportunity. I still have no way to understand what is the situation? What is the reason? I can only say that it is the blessing of the Three Jewels! A very peculiar cause. One day I was sweeping the floor at home. Usually I watched only two TV stations, one is a news station and the other is a Western movie. But that day, the TV at home unexpectedly jumped to the Buddhist station. There were dozens of them as soon as they left. How could it be possible? It's impossible to turn it carelessly! What's more, I didn't move it at all.

Suddenly, the voice that came from behind me was our old monk, Jingkong old monk, who was explaining the solemnity of the Paradise of Bliss.I remember he was talking about at the time that if we were to die into the Paradise of Bliss, everything would happen if we wanted to.If we want to eat, we have to eat when we are hungry, and we don’t have to cook it. If you think about it, the food will appear immediately.You don’t need to wash it after eating, the thought disappears immediately after a move...I heard this particular interest, because I was only in my twenties at that time. For this kind of food, I had to cook three meals a day, I had to eat it after cooking, and washed it after I had eaten it. It was greasy and it felt real. It's also a big trouble.Three times a day is not a trivial problem. As soon as I heard this refreshed and caught my attention, I threw the broom aside, and I sat down and listened carefully.

At first glance, the old mage looked very solemn.This complexion was flying, and it was a kind face, and it didn't seem to be a lie.However, what he said is too mysterious! It is really difficult for me to believe it, but the kind of heart at the time... I really hope it is true, I have a little expectation, so I am not here. After scanning it, I directly saw the Jingzong Society, this circulation office, and immediately checked the contact office on the computer as soon as the TV was turned off, checked the address, and immediately borrowed a set of "Infinite Life Sutra".

I was locked up at home for a whole month. In fact, during that month, I had already become interested.It can be said that after reading it... I accidentally saw that after the old monk introduced this paragraph, about ten minutes later, there is actually a very strong hope in my heart, I hope it is true, I want to go to bliss The world! This thought has arisen, so through this month, my whole person has been involved. Of course, I follow the teachings during the day, worshiping the Buddha, reciting the Buddha, and reciting the sutras. The first thing I recite is the forty-eight vows, and the fourth Seventeenth grade: "If you don’t cultivate blessings and wisdom in the past, you cannot smell the Dharma here..." The verse is easy to memorize, and there are many feelings for a whole month. The so-called day and night have dreams, and sleep at night is a big deal. Piles of scriptures float up, and Buddhas are often seen, and Buddhas are seen in dreams.This is something that many fellow practitioners have. Let's not think so mysteriously, think about it day by day and dream at night! When I was a beginner, I often got the blessing of the Three Jewels.

For about a month, I woke up suddenly one day, and I felt awakened. I saw my time passing so fast. I hardly went out for a whole month, and I ate casually.Although it has not yet reached the kind of fixed position where you don't know the taste of meat in March.But it was true that the whole mind was inside, and suddenly there was a feeling of fear, an emotion came up... It's over... My whole person has changed!

How did it change? It changed to what I did every day, the things I did at that time, and the things I did every day. I actually forgot everything. The mood at the time was really a bit scared! What are you afraid of? As soon as I walked out, people regarded me as a neurotic! It seemed that I was different from the people in society, and I felt a panic in my heart. Then of course my pace slowed down.In the situation at that time, after studying for a few years, I went to the mainland and visited a lot of good knowledge. I also asked them, and they said it was a pity.If you fell into it at that time, it would take less than a year to recite Buddhism and samādhi, and you might have hope and devote yourself!

So when we learn this method, whether you are an old practitioner or a novice, equal cultivation causes and equal achievements depend on when you can enter into it.Therefore, this time our five-day Fa conference is possible anytime, anywhere in the moment, and we are confident that we will graduate and be confident that we will be reborn as a Buddha in this life. This is not a word of encouragement. This is to say the truth!

(XNUMX) A large number of magic weapons in circulation

(XNUMX) A large number of magic weapons in circulation

Then I found out that this was not possible, and there was no target at the time, so I could ask about that level, so I started to slow down.Then I contacted the Jingmeihua Collection Library in Taipei, which was very early or about 15 years ago, contacted the master there, and then started to circulate the old monk’s magic weapons.I borrowed money to do charity. I borrowed money to buy a house with a loan. I bought the house and owed the bank money! Then I kept a little by myself. Fortunately, a relative in our family is very good at managing the accounts, and he takes my money. The remaining money will go to a fair, so the interest is very high.I don’t have to worry about this. There is no problem in my life every month. I have devoted three whole years to circulate the magic weapons of the old monks wholeheartedly. Of course, I have seen almost all the magic weapons that the old monks circulated during that period.

So when I circulate, I also circulate a lot, not just at one point, we set up a distribution agency ourselves, and I drove around to find good points, like Carrefour hypermarkets.I have borrowed a large window from them. When the magic weapon is released, there are thousands of people coming in and out every day, and the circulation is very large. I remember the most points, probably eight or nine, nearly ten points.I'm busy with these things every day, going in and out, and even devoting myself to teaching children to read the scriptures for a week, and it's great to give a class.

That’s why the first-time heartfelt feeling is really strong! I often dream of the old monk sometimes.To the old monk, we are not attached to this person, but are grateful for his introduction! Let us encounter such a good law, so we all dreamed: dreaming... just happened to have a bad person wanting to shoot him...because this society is very chaotic... Then I dreamed that I would run forward, using my body to block the gun and block the bullet! Similar dreams often occur...when I was a beginner.Therefore, for beginners, people say that it is more than just becoming a Buddha at the beginning! If we can maintain this kind of mood for the Three Jewels, that's terrible! All of them can be born at the same time.

(XNUMX) Not seeing the teacher past

(XNUMX) Five hundred Zen disciples retreat to Zen

(XNUMX) Five hundred Zen disciples retreat to Zen

In the past, there was a head of the Bodhisattva Sangha, a layman, who has now passed away in Taiwan.He led a group of bodhisattvas who participated in Zen and enjoyed an international status. They also received considerable attention in the Buddhist world in Taiwan. Some of his Zen disciples who followed him were also very good, and very loyal and very loyal. Respect and love him as a teacher.Before he died, he actually began to slowly guide his students to study the Pure Land.Then before they die, I ask them to obey his will and obey his will.So on the same day, all of the disciples who followed him to practice meditation, five hundred people at the same time turned to the Pure Land Dharma and studied in the Pure Land Dharma.

Of course, this is all because of the respect and love for the teacher, because people who usually go to Zen do not look down upon the practice of Buddhism.Fundamentally, it is also the foundation of great disagreement, so they trust the teacher completely, and the teacher is a kind of guilty feeling towards them, and is responsible for their students.His teacher deeply believed that in the end of the Dharma, only the Pure Land Method can be achieved, and he came to the conclusion of this experience through his years of meditation practice.

Many people think that he is a fully enlightened person. I don't know this, because I don't know him, and I can't see it because I don't have a complete enlightenment.But it is true that from his quotations, I have seen some of his aspirations, his changing aspirations.This person is very courageous, really like the kind of Zen that is completely Zen, the kind of reckless style of Zen and son.He not only entrusted his students to study in the Pure Land Method, but at the same time ordered him to destroy all the writings on Zen in the past.It’s really Zen, this Zen and son's style to do it so thoroughly and let it down cleanly. It really doesn't take away a cloud with a wave of your hand.

Well, I once saw in his works that this work was not easy to come by. This is a collector's edition secretly cherished by some of his big disciples around him.Then I saw that there was a description in him, which was what he said in the realm after enlightenment.He summarized the entire Buddhism, used very simple, and used age to determine its realm. He said: "The Agama Sutra" is 20 years old, the Hinayana scriptures that we know, and the four Agamas.Prajna Sutras are also "Diamond Sutras" and "Heart Sutras". This type of Prajna sutras that talk about emptiness, the Blessed One spent 22 years talking about Prajna sutras. Then this great virtue said: "Prajna Sutras" are 30 years old.So 【Zen Buddhism】40.Strange! How can Zen be at the level of forty years old! This wisdom at forty years old.So 【Esoteric Buddhism】XNUMX, 【Pure Land】XNUMX.This is a real understanding, at least everyone thinks so, but his level is really not low.He really understood the truth, at least what he said after understanding the teachings.

Therefore, in this method of ours, the only people who can truly believe in the truth are those who gain the roots and benefit the wisdom or the fools.Indeed... Either you really have a way to understand the teachings of the various sects, and then you can see the clues.Because our Pure Land Method is that only Buddha and Buddha can know!

Respectful excerpt from disciple Xue'e.Approved by Master Ren Jing

(XNUMX) After enlightenment of Zen Buddhism, you still have to practice

(XNUMX) After enlightenment of Zen Buddhism, you still have to practice

So why is Zen only forty years old? Generally, we think that Zen Zen is of a high standard, high-style, and very standard people like to participate in Zen. Intellectuals...They think that chanting Buddhism is an old man’s, very tacky, and it’s a kind of superstition. Faith.This is a general misunderstanding, so why do you say Zen? In fact, Zen is very deep, and Zen is the mind of the Buddha! Of course the mind of the Buddha is deep. The problem is that the Buddha mind it talks about is logically speaking, it understands the mind and sees the nature. Seeing the mind of the Buddha, seeing the self-nature into emptiness.This is of course very deep. The problem is that we also know that Zen is to... but also to cultivate after enlightenment, so he has to start after seeing the nature, and then start to practice. This view is only to achieve his fundamental wisdom, and furthermore. Spend the three great almsgivings, and slowly cultivate and gain wisdom. In other words, it can only attain the fruition status of an Arahant.

So in fact, as far as this realm is concerned, as far as the entire realm of Buddhism is concerned, it is only a real entry into the void.This is really the real entrance to the empty door, through the empty door, and into the realm of the Buddha.But this Buddha is judged from the rooftops: Zang, Tong, Die, and Yuan. There are four different degrees of Buddha. This is the lowest Buddha of the lowest realm. Then this is not the ultimate Buddha. After all, the Buddha is the Yuanjiao Buddha. We Amitabha. It is Yuanjiao Buddha! The highest level.Because starting from the understanding of the mind and nature, it takes three three aksangs to practice the path of the bodhisattva, and to cultivate the six degrees of ten thousand actions, in a state of three-wheel body emptiness, because he has entered emptiness, so at this time he cultivates The bit by bit is indeed a real merit.But you have to reach Consummation. What this Huayan meeting talks about: ten dwellings, ten elements, ten directions, ten places, waiting for enlightenment...until attaining the Buddha's Miao Enlightenment, the three great A Sangsang cannot escape from the robbery, and even countless. Robbery.

(XNUMX) Pure Land Buddhism is now being a Buddha when he recites

(XNUMX) Pure Land Buddhism is now being a Buddha when he recites

And when our Pure Land Method directly recites the Buddha, where is our realm? It is the realm after the Arahant has to cultivate Immeasurable Calamity, which is incredible! That is, the realm of perfecting the Buddha and perfecting the Buddha.Why? The Pure Land Method does not rely on our own practice, but directly corresponds to Amitabha's fruit and becomes one with Him.As complete as Amitabha Buddha is, we are as complete as we are now.This one is an extraordinary cause and effect, very incredible! You can become a Buddha without cultivating! If it really depends on us to cultivate, then we can’t do anything about it. I think we may have to fall into the three evil ways in our next life. ! This opportunity is very big! Not to mention the cultivation of immeasurable karma after enlightenment.

Therefore, the realm of the Pure Land Method, the great virtue said it is the most complete at the age of sixty! It is because it is not an ordinary cause and effect. An ordinary cause and effect first cultivates the cause and then obtains the effect. By maintaining the precepts and practicing concentration, you can gain wisdom, step by step. ! This is relying on one's own strength-first cause and consequence.But our Pure Land Method is completely complete, and it is not understandable by the concept of human beings in the world. It is the simultaneous cause and effect.So our Pure Land School is also called "Lian Zong". This is a metaphor based on the characteristics of the lotus. When the lotus blooms, the lotus seeds have already formed at that moment.Therefore, when the cause and effect are at the same time, the state of the cause and effect at the same time is the Buddha's Dharma realm, and the causal form of the Buddha Dharma realm is the simultaneous cause and effect.

So when we recite the Buddha right now, we should recite the Buddha one by one, and recite the Buddha accordingly! If we know how to recite this Buddha name, we are now being a Buddha! Don’t have to cultivate slowly by ourselves, it’s incredible! It’s amazing! It’s amazing! !

(XNUMX) The tantric practice is cumbersome

(XNUMX) The tantric practice is cumbersome

Then the great virtue said that Tantra is fifty years old, and Tantra is also very wonderful, and it is also at the same time of cause and effect.So it has a visualization deity, and I am a Buddha right now! I use this visualization of this Buddha, and I start practicing from the Buddha status, and the three secrets correspond.But why is it positioned at the age of fifty? Because Tantric Buddhism is not easy to cultivate, Tantric Buddhism is based on many aspects, including its practice of this ritual, and the offerings are observable. There are many full of them. There is also a saying that, Tantric Buddhism is a method practiced by wealthy people. You already have to spend a lot of money just to equip it.And you have to provide for your guru, you have to provide for it like a Buddha. If you don’t have blessings, you have no way to cultivate. It’s very expensive if you can’t afford to cultivate! There is no way if you don’t have enough blessings and you don’t even have the basic practice. Equipped, how can you fix it if you can't afford it?

Moreover, its cultivation method is very cumbersome and subtle, and requires cultivating insights and holding mantras and seals, so if you are not a person with very good roots, you are not qualified to cultivate, you can't cultivate, and you are easily obsessed with it.If your mind is not correct, because of the tantric method, it can directly cultivate all kinds of magical powers, so if your mind is not correct, you will be obsessed by the magical powers.

So I used to run a distribution agency, a magic weapon for circulation. We bought an old house on the first and second floors. The door was open, and we often met some weird people and women... Fortunately, it was women, she and me Say I am Guanshiyin Bodhisattva...she came to us for alms, I am the person who is the incarnation of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, and I want to make two thousand Taiwan dollars with you... It seems that she is talking about her eloquence, articulate... at least the level of a college student, she looks so good Solemn, young, she speaks eloquently and unambiguously...but she is really obsessed with her, and she has overcooked her...he has cultivated too seriously...and she has cultivated very well...so it seems to be true, she really thinks of herself I am a Buddha, I am a Guanyin Bodhisattva, this has been overcrowded, and she is now in that realm.

So tantra is not something ordinary people can practice, and she does the same practice, and it takes a long time to practice to complete all the practices.So you see that Tantra has to initiate, one has to instill this one, another one has to instill that... After three years of retreat, you must first add four exercises, just that you..., the one hundred thousand worship of the big head, the mantra. How many times... You can't pass this level just by the first four plus lines.And their requirements, especially the Tibetan secret system, are usually what you want to teach in Manifesto... Just like the teachings we generally come into contact with, the Mahayana sutra taught by Manifesto, you must have at least XNUMX years of training. , And only after you have truly mastered the teachings, you will be eligible to enter the Shangtan Academy and formally learn the tantra.The master gives you initiation and teaches the Dharma. After you teach the Dharma, you go to retreat and start to learn the mentality that your master teaches you... How simple it is! You just listen to me and you can memorize it. I can't remember it, let alone repair it.

(XNUMX) Pure Land Buddhism is stable, simple and convenient, achieving rapid success

(XNUMX) Pure Land Buddhism is stable, simple and convenient, achieving rapid success

Then why does Pure Land Buddhism and Tantric Buddhism have both cause and effect at the same time? That is to become a Buddha.Tantra teaches that one becomes a Buddha, then we just talked about Pure Land Buddhism. One thought corresponds to one Buddha. The moment you recite the Buddha, you also become Buddha! That is, Buddha.It is also the fastest direct Buddhahood, with cause and effect at the same time.

However, in the Pure Land Sect, it only needs to use the name "Nanmo Amitabha" to solve all diseases, large and small... and even when you become a Buddha, you can use this Buddha name for all.In contrast, it is really too special for us!

Anyone can be sustained in their studies, and they can be accomplished without worrying about being caught. You can cultivate without money, and you can cultivate without blessings, and the achievement is fast and stable! Simple! It does not hinder your life and work.In terms of its outstanding achievements, fastness and convenience, it is no better than the Pure Land Method!

And all the superpowers, Amitabha Buddha is too compassionate and wise, all the merits can be put on this Buddha name! One Buddha name can solve all the diseases! This is really a very efficient practice, taught People are simple, and those who learn are simple.But achievement is the most extraordinary, high or not! There is really no way to compare!

We really understand that after analyzing this way, you will not dare to underestimate this Buddha's name.In addition, in the past few days, we have to further understand the so-called Wandehong name of the Buddha's name. What virtues are its Wande? How do we feel these Wande?

When we can really feel it, our inner heart will naturally be able to interact with Amitabha Buddha.Naturally, all kinds of Dharma happiness can arise in the moment, which can eliminate karma and grow wisdom, and you will naturally like to recite this Buddha name.This is the part we will lead you to experience more deeply.

So during the three years of my first study, through listening to the discs of the old monks’ lectures every day, on the one hand, I really borrowed money to make offerings.The fellow practitioners wanted to help seal the magic weapon. I said that you sent it directly to the Academy. I was only responsible for cultivating my cause. It was very simple! During that period, I visited nearby, it was in Changhua, Taiwan’s Changhua, Changhua City, at that time Every week, I will go to Changhua Jingzong Academy to practice together.But every time I went to practice together, I would come back after an hour and a half, without much talk.In addition, I can say... and occasionally one month or two months, I will go to Taipei to participate in the once-a-month one-day group training, also at the Jingmei Library. After going there, in addition to the group training, it does not If you talk too much, go back when it's over, then this kind of situation probably lasted for about three years.

During those three years, I hardly had any entertainment.The old monk said: If you want to learn Buddhism, you can't watch TV, you can't listen to the radio, and you can't read newspapers.Even my favorite Western movie, I dare not watch it.Don't watch TV either. Watching those news is always killing theft. There is no good news.Indeed, in those three years, my heart was relatively pure, and then one day, during a holiday, my only pastime during the holiday was to visit the Jingzong Society to see if there was any new magic weapon.

(XNUMX) Orientation Karma

(XNUMX) Orientation Karma

At that time, there was a cause and fate, and I went to the Taipei Hua Zang Pure Sect Society. At that time...you see, I have been listening to the sutras for three years...I don't know who the enlightened master is, such a famous master disciple, should be the second in the ranking. He is the second disciple of the old monk.He was in charge of the house at that time, and I did not know the house for many years. So when I went to the Jingzong Academy, I wanted to see what magic weapon there is, and I can invite it back to circulate, so I went there for the first time...

The volunteer Bodhisattva inside was very enthusiastic, and wanted to take me. Because I was young, I was only in my twenties at the time. It's rare for a young man to be so real, and he was very focused on choosing and choosing. magic weapon.So they all greeted me very diligently, and I hope to join them and say, "Master is rare in the dojo, and Master is very busy and often goes abroad. The first time you come today, you can meet Master here, which means that you will be rewarded with great blessings! I'll arrange for you to meet with Master, okay?" I said, "No!" I have never had any thoughts about that, nor did I know this person, nor have any other thoughts, so I'll be honest anyway.The old monk said: "You should practice well at home." We started to learn a lot of fellow practitioners, probably like me, but I can't say that.

Later, after the greet of the public, of course I followed the fate of the time, and Master Wudao received me.We probably talked for less than half an hour, then during the conversation...In fact, Master Enlightenment is not an ordinary person, he is an old practitioner.After talking about it for a few minutes, he will know where you are roughly, so he is also very happy. After knowing about my learning process... "There will be a ceremony of shaving in three days. Would you like to participate?" "Three days? ? "

I was also very...I didn’t know where the courage came from. I only hesitated for a few seconds, and I said, “If I can learn from the old monk.” Because I think it’s the same learning anyway, At that time, I didn’t understand anything. Anyway, it was the Jingzong Society. If I was learning to shave, wouldn’t I be able to stay with the old monk? I had this idea at the time, and we also knew that the old monk had already sealed the sword. It's impossible to follow him to shave.Then why would I think about this right now? Because in the past two or three years, I have actually given my body and mind to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.One contact is to make a vow for the pure land.What's the difference between being a monk at home? What's more, if there is a predestined relationship with an old monk, it is really extraordinary! So I only hesitated for a few seconds, I just said something like this... I said, "If you can With the old monk, then I am willing.” And I said one thing, it seemed like a rash... I said, “As long as I can learn the Fa with the old monk, I’ll be at the mercy of others, and it doesn’t matter what I want me to do.” In a mood like this, when he said such words, Master Wudao was very happy to hear it, so he immediately shaved, decided immediately, and settled it down.After three days, I really shaved, and my hair was gone. I grew my hair to the waist... At that time, many people wanted to pursue me, but suddenly disappeared after three days... I haven't recovered from this cause, you think. Arrangement, don't say that you want to arrange it. If you don't arrange it, you can't even think of it in your dreams.

Let's do the shading together, and there are two other brothers, one of whom has been close to him for more than ten years and has cultivated a lot of blessings.The other was a young girl from Singapore who was only XNUMX years old at the time, so I was the second child...in terms of age, three people just shaved like this.After only shaved for three days, I started to feel annoyed and miserable! My hair is missing and I can’t go home. What should I do? Because I didn’t know the Sangha at all before that, it was really hard to get used to...So you all have to become a monk It’s unavoidable to have troubles. This is normal. I mean... My karma is very heavy. I started to have troubles on the third day...

(XNUMX) Participate in training courses

(XNUMX) Participate in training courses

After finally passing by...for about half a year, I can't bear it anymore. I have been clamoring to learn the Fa with the old monk and the master.In the end... Karma is still immature, because many times it is not what we imagined, so smoothly.Anyway, we have a very simple mind. I just want to learn the Fa from the old monk. This is the idea of repaying gratitude! Because the novice master is still an old monk, I insisted on it, and then... I left the master at that time in order to go. Get close to the old monk and go to Singapore on your own.Fortunately, I was taken in by our old monk, and the old monk has always been very compassionate to me.At that time, I didn't want to say, what I wanted to do, anyway, as long as I get close to good knowledge and learn the Fa, recite the Buddha honestly, and seek death with all my heart, that's probably the way I think.

So in 2001, I was ordained in 1999, then in 2001, I was already in Singapore at that time, living in Huslin.At that time, the fifth training class had all enrolled students. Some of our resident masters and a female group suddenly chatted with me one day.She said, "It's weird? You are a grandson of an old monk, why didn't you go to the training class?" This sentence suddenly appeared, and I thought: "Yes! Why didn't I go to the training class?" Without her fate , I think she is also the Buddha and Bodhisattva who came to help me, if there is no such predestined, without this question, how would I have thought of going to the training class? How can we do? We are beginners, just recently shaved, where can I dare miss you?

The standards of our training courses are very high. Most of them are appointed and recommended by the four famous mountains on the mainland, and the abbots of the top mountains.I have been a monk for more than ten or twenty years...mostly what...like the deputy dean of Jiuhuashan Buddhist College, the dean of Lingyanshan, the teacher of the Buddhist academy, etc....how do we have the qualifications, but we really belong to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas arrangement.When the master bhikshuni asked me like this... I thought, "Yes! Why don't I participate?"

In addition, there was another layman, the layman next to the old monk, who was doing this layman who followed up all day long, and it was also very good to me. She specifically revealed a message to me. She said that there is a mage in our training class because There is no way for the visa relationship, the mainland visa is not easy to handle, and there is a quota you want to go? This news is too precious! I'll be fine, then I ran to find the teacher.

At that time, I knelt in front of the old monk, and I said I was going to participate in the training class. He said, "Isn't the quota full?" I said, "Someone revealed to me that there is another quota..." Anyway...because we are very Just asking for the Dharma, the old monk is probably compassionate! Without thinking too much, he just said...that will make us, he said...he nodded and agreed.The process went smoothly. He said, "But you still have to respect Lin Chang. You have to report to Lin Chang and ask for instructions." I went, and the second stage was Li Muyuan, and he passed it smoothly.The third level almost failed. It turned out to be deliberately to scare me. It is the general affairs that we directly manage. I call him Master General Affairs.

Of course, the first two hurdles have been passed, how could he be here? But I don’t know I’m just very nervous, what if it happens? He asked me, “Why are you attending the training class?” I said, “Interested. "When he heard this, he was very dissatisfied with "What interest? Other classmates said that I would die on stage! I want to spread the Dharma for the rest of my life to repay Buddha's grace." It was very intense, and only I said two words: " Interest" because we don’t have anything... we didn’t expect to have this predecessor at all, nor did we dare to have this ability, and our level is very poor...beginner! Stupid! Then I’ll tell the truth, it’s really pretty good. I like it very much, watching people give lectures on the podium.

I admire the teacher the most, because when I was in elementary school, our grade teacher was named Cai Lixue. I admired her very much-a female audience, so I had a special affection for the teacher since I was a child.So if there is a chance, of course, this is something I like to do very much. I have been working in society for a few years, but in fact it is not doing business properly. I save a little money and go abroad to play... I will come back to work when I have no money. , Because of work in society, nothing really makes me...attract me.Until I became a monk, this profession is really extraordinary! I want to be a monk for my whole life, and I don’t regret it! This is the status of a human being, and this status is more noble than a teacher in the world! There is nothing more than this profession. Excellent? Well, at that time, even if the general affairs were not satisfied with my answer, I still had to pass it. That's it... I participated in the training smoothly.

(XNUMX) Graduated from the training course

(XNUMX) Graduated from the training course

I didn't expect it, because I felt that I was really stupid, so I had to be diligent and able to make up for it.I’m going to lose my master’s face! And I hope to do something for all sentient beings as much as possible. I really want to repay my gratitude, so I study very hard.At that time, our first day on stage, it was really... Today, when it was my turn to speak, from morning to night to night, before I came to stage, I pulled a total of seven times... until the stomach and intestines became inflamed.When we get nervous, our stomach will keep moving, so our pressure is really great.

I also have a classmate who has been a monk for more than XNUMX years—women, because when we first started class, everyone had to go on stage to introduce themselves for five minutes. The master was very good, and she saw that she had cultivated like a big man.As soon as she came to the stage, she introduced herself and said, "My life is to promote the Dharma and benefit my life, and to repay my teacher and Buddha!" As a result, the day when she was her turn to repeat her lecture, she finished...very well, and she seemed very determined. After all, she has been a monk for a long time. After getting off the stage, I lay down for three full days! Then we went to see her...she fell ill.This body can't deceive people, this pressure is too great, the whole body collapses, and you can't get out of bed.When we went to see her, she said, "I can't do it, I want to go home." She didn't mean to retreat, but she felt that she was incapable and ashamed!

This is too difficult! The pressure of studying! Of course, I graduated later, and there is no problem, so the pressure is great!

But I don’t know how to do it. After we graduate from the training, we have two scoring standards: one is the old monk personally give points and scores, the other is the points given by the classmates, and the scores of the classmates should be in... Seventeenth and eighteenth, we have XNUMX classmates, so there is no favor for this.Because I don’t have any good fortune, and I don’t give gifts and socialize with people, and I don’t have time to communicate with people for good fortune, no! I can’t be a human being... I didn’t do everything I had to do, I just stayed in the squatter all day, otherwise I would check in the library. data.So being able to get this ranking just shows that among our classmates, many are just people.You can score how you want to score. There is no consideration of human feelings, and of course there may be a few.

So the score given to me by the old monk, I was shocked when I saw this ranking! How could it be? It turned out to be the fifth place! I have nothing to compare with our classmates in terms of spiritual qualifications, virtues, and intelligence. of.This is indeed...so I can't figure out why, the old monk gave me such a score.

Then I think about it, the only possibility is...because I have learned from the old monk since the beginning.Many of our classmates are excellent talents sent by other schools.But maybe I am not as familiar with the Immortal SutraAnd the kind of fate with the old monk... centripetal force! There is also the fate with the old monk, this is a past life, can become his disciple, I can't even think of such a fate, this is definitely a fate of past life.What's more, the chance to encounter the Pure Land Method in this life is completely thanks to our old monk. This kindness is too great, this fate is too deep!

So after graduation, the old monk called the layman next to him and told me to meet him.Asked me if I wanted to go to Australia to be a teaching assistant. Of course I couldn’t ask for it... I said, “All of that will be arranged by the old monk.” As a result, soon after, this cause was not mature.We graduated in June, and the predestined relationship was immature, so I left in August.After leaving, after graduation, you will be unemployed! It's miserable! I don't know where to go?

(XNUMX) Ascetic style of traditional jungle

(XNUMX) Ascetic style of traditional jungle

And then it really was... there was a big Bodhisattva blessing all the way, so I went to and fro...because there happened to be a cause and condition during the training.Our old monks often admire the abbot of the Baolin Temple on Lantau Island in Hong Kong, the old master of the Shangsheng Xia, he is the disciple of the old monk Xuyun, the ninth generation heir of the Weiyang Sect.The ninth generation of Weiyangzong was passed on to only two people: one was Master Xuanhua from the United States, and the other was Master Shengyi from Hong Kong.The old monk Xuyun is a mantle, and the purple robes given to him by the Empress Dowager Cixi, he also gave it to the old Master Shengyi. I have seen it all.That's because his disciple is also a female group of Malaysian nationality, from Hong Kong specially to the Singapore Jingzong Society to join the school for a single month.

That fate was also very accidental. On that day, she came to us to learn to place an order. The usual driver asked for leave. It happened to be a substitute on that day, and then picked her up.When I picked her up from the airport to the school, the office was also off work, what should I do? The driver didn’t understand, so he took her directly to the floor where I lived. It is logical to say that the single room is not on our floor, since she has come. So I helped, and I helped her settle in our squatter on the first floor, and that was within a month, and I also had some assistance to her.So when she left, she told me: she came to Hong Kong to find me for a reason.Then I'm going back to Taiwan in August, so think about it, then go see her through Hong Kong.

This is the second dojo that I have come into contact with since I studied Buddhism... in the dojo.It is the traditional jungle, it is really the jungle of asceticism.It’s so hard that you can’t suffer any more! Now you can’t find it when you go to the mainland. It’s very difficult to find, because now there are many monasteries in the mainland, and the equipment is getting better and better.

I remember she came down the mountain to pick me up, and had to walk again after getting off the bus, which was nearly fifty minutes by foot.The mountain road was very narrow. On the way up the mountain, we also encountered two bisons. They were a specialty of Lantau Island. They were very fierce. The horns were so sharp that the trails could be seen everywhere on the cliff.These two bisons... one with its head on this side, the other with its head on the other side, the full one, that length just filled the whole road.There is a cliff next to it, only a little road is left, it’s miserable!! What if I get in the middle of the road? I can’t go! The master who came to pick me up, she is very powerful, she is a Malaysian female, and she came to Hong Kong since she was a teenager. Go and ask for shaving.This person also has good roots, but I was hesitating at the time: What should I do if I am miserable? How to pass? She held my hand without saying a word, and walked past the seam. I was really scared to death when I walked! Hurry up and recite the Buddha! Just in case this... these two cows pushed us down the cliff as soon as we moved. Just when we were going to walk safely, the bison was moving and scared me to sweat all over.

Then along the way, you can see all kinds of sentient beings everywhere.At that time, she was already qualified to live in thatched cottages. She had been a monk for more than XNUMX years. She became a monk when she was a young teenager. There are many small cottages near the Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island.Because her cultivation reached a level, that master Shengyi Master allowed her to live in a hut.I stayed there with her for a few days, and she kept wanting to keep me during the few days.She said, "I will take you to see Master." I said, "No, or no, I said no!" I have already made a wish to specialize in the Pure Land in this life, and to promote the "Blessed Life Sutra". After graduation, how can I...

Because I know her intentions, I know she wants to save me to stay.This is the Zen dojo, and I wouldn’t! And in case you take me to see the old monk, this holy one old mage, I have nothing to do with the old man, in case he tells me, how do you call it? What should I do...then what should I do? I can't say how to immediately refuse or how to deal with it. I don't know how to answer or respond, so just don't go to see it.I think so in my heart, but do you know? You can't help yourself when you get to someone else's site! Don't wait with her...you can't go down the mountain.

(XNUMX) Karma of receiving the two monks with foot vows

(XNUMX) Karma of receiving the two monks with foot vows

So after living for a few days, I went to see the old monk and the old master Shengyi...I just got down on my knees, and the first thing I told the old monk, I said to Master Shengyi, I said, “Master, I’m just here today. I bow to you! I have already made a vow to specialize in the Pure Land and to promote the "Blessed Life Sutra"." Let me talk about it first, otherwise, if he speaks, I can't refuse. The old monk is very compassionate...Master is very compassionate.Zen people are clean and tidy, and now they want to break my attachments.He immediately said: "The "Blessed Life Sutra" is the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" is the "Hua Yan Sutra"." Just saying that sentence, I did not respond, because I knew that he was saving me, he was breaking mine. Persistent.I can understand, so I don't talk, I know in my heart, and this is the first meeting.

After that, there was a cause and fate. I received the ordination there. The old monk Shengyi Master made me ordination. The application form for my application for ordination was written by his old man himself.His hands will tremble because he has been doing austerity all the year round. It seems that he has Parkinson’s disease for more than ten years, but his mind is very clear, and he is truly a great practitioner! I remember that when he took the precepts, this was the whole process. Yes... I just said that the bhikkhuni was very enthusiastic about it.I'm half pushing and half pushing, without any expectation. I can really say that everything is arranged by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

Then I went there and got close to the dojo. It was three or four months until I received the precepts. Master told me that I would go up the mountain to cultivate fortune, and then he said: "Good things are hard to come by, and everything is low-key!" Then I thought...I couldn't get it through. What does this sentence mean? Keep it low-key? Ok! Then I don’t want to talk about it during my training. I don’t want to say that I’m already a master studying Confucianism, and then I can teach the Scriptures outside. Don’t say that I specialize in Pure Land, anyway. Don't talk about it all.

If you don’t talk about it, it’s unclear. Many old practices in there are going to fix me, but because the precepts there are very strict, and their kind of interaction between the same parameters is really for the law and interacting with each other according to the standards of the precepts. Achievement, so we have nothing to say.They also came here anyway, so in that process, it really made me grow a lot, not only the physical toil, but I have never suffered from my childhood. I know at a glance that my hands have no power to bind a chicken. Type, but during that process, I got a great improvement both physically and mentally.The first time I tasted the taste of a practitioner, it was there, and my past studies were very smooth.Our Pure Land Method is the method of peace and happiness, and encountering the old monk is a great blessing, so I have never suffered.This is the best arrangement Buddha and Bodhisattva gave me.

I remember that I had just taken a flight from Singapore to Hong Kong, and then they habitually stayed in order to prepare for ordination after three or four months.I didn’t know at the time...Anyway, I had to place the order first. Then, two days before they met Guanyin’s birthday, they even had the vegetable soup and the soup, they had a kind of dish called soup, and they had to start grinding from the flour... themselves Make it into a soup.There is a kind of raw material that is probably natural powder. You can make it yourself, instead of buying it off-the-shelf like you usually do. Because there are so many people in the jungle, you can make everything yourself.

Then I happened to go there just two days before the Guanyin birthday, and I was very busy. From XNUMX:XNUMX in the morning to four o’clock in the morning class, I was busy until noon, and I was busy until ten o’clock in the evening.For two consecutive days, I called for help! Help is talking to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, not to others! When I was lying in bed, it really made me realize for the first time what it means to be immobile and immobile! At that time I want to get up and go to the clean room, but I can’t get up. I was so anxious but I still can’t get up. At that time, I really felt like I was happy and funny. I wanted to laugh. The mood was hard to describe. I didn’t want to laugh. Laugh with strength! I feel that I am really unable to move, and I finally realize it! I have two consecutive days...I can't bear it for two days if I don't have enough physical strength.

But I finally got through it. Later, after taking the precepts, I was free to become a grown-up! After I took the precepts continuously, I went back for three years. , To learn the precepts, the most important thing is to get close to Master.So in the first year or two, I followed the rules, and it was very hard.The niche precepts are very strict, you have to do whatever you have in your generation.

In the third year, I can get close to the (old) Master and stay by my side for two hours every day before the rewards are finally realized.This is impossible in the jungle, because the precepts of men and women are very strict, so in that one...three, in the third year of Jie Xia’s residence for three months, there are two hours a day to get close to him, that pair My influence is too great.Therefore, the old Master Shengyi is the same as my second parent. Without him, I might not be sitting here today.Because in the past, our conception was that, anyway, you don’t have to be a monk when you meditate on the Buddha to die, and at that time, with my blessings, I really didn’t know how. Going to other temples is really not easy! So at each stage, there is a big Bodhisattva who is supporting us, so I completely follow the cause and conditions, and I successfully completed the karma, and then I also successfully received the precepts.

(XNUMX) Spectacular Three Altars of Big Rings

(XNUMX) Spectacular Three Altars of Big Rings

And how lucky I am to receive the ordination, our master shaved 27 people that year, and we went to receive the ordination together.Master Shengyi is the monk of the precepts. He is the largest in the whole three altars. Of course, among the 27 of us, of course, we will be particularly courteous. The disciples of the monks of precepts, but I am more fortunate than them, maybe so... plus Let's clear the blessings of the old monk.I was chosen to be the waiter of the monk Ari Li, I took this bed, so the whole ordination scene, the blessing to me was too great! Following the monk Ari Li, we are the second monk ring, male and female The multitude is separated, separated beforehand.

So girl... When this Azaili and Shanni are going out, the ring in the audience is to kneel, lie down, and crouch.Just like in ancient times when you want to see the emperor, the emperor has to walk in front of you. You can't look up to see him. Your whole head has to be knocked down on the ground, like a tiger, so it's called Hufu. This posture is called Hufu.Then I stood as a waiter behind Ah Hali and Shanni, which is like patrolling...every ring, passing in front of each ring, that kind of scene is really...I cried from beginning to end, it was spectacular! It made me feel At that time, our World Honored One is really too great! Buddha Shakyamuni is really too great! At that time, I deeply realized what is called "World Honored One"! It is really worthy of the respect and admiration of the world, that kind of scene is because of us It represents the disciples of the Buddha, and then followed this Ashiri monk, in front of so many ringlets...this kind of scene...we represent the Three Jewels, the noble Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. At that time, I was really moved. .

The true and profound respect for the Three Jewels really arises at the time! I didn’t know anything before, I just wanted to recite the Buddha to live in the blissful world, so the blessings at that time were very great, and this was also a rare and extraordinary cause.Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to get close to the second dojo with my motivation.It just so happened that our old monk wanted me to go to Australia because the fate was not mature.So next is the experience of going to the jungle to practice asceticism.Actually, he could leave after receiving the precepts in the first year, because Master Shengyi knew that I was... As soon as we met, he said that I wanted to specialize in the Pure Land and promote the Pure Land Method... He would not force people, and it was completely unconditional compassion to achieve us.

So I went... when I just went there, I remembered, because after receiving the precepts, I would go to thank my master and thank my master.Then he explained to me: "The Shurangama mantra must be memorized and the vows must be learned well. These two things." Because the Shurangama mantra is in the traditional jungle, this morning and evening class is fixed. If you don't learn this set, in the future If you go to other places, there is no way to take morning and evening classes with everyone. This is the most basic.There is a saying in the jungle called: "Repaying people's money for food", so in the morning and evening, you will have to do five homework.

Then I think the Shurangama mantra is so long, so I don’t want to recite it. Anyway, I just want to recite the Buddha, and I don’t participate in Zen, and I don’t want to live here in the future. Why do I recite it? I didn’t speak... When I went to see Master again in half a month, the first words of Master said, "Is the Shurangama curse memorized?" I was so scared that my goosebumps fell all over the floor, so I didn't dare to make any mistakes! Because in front of the major practitioners, his He is very strong, especially his meditation skills are very deep, then we thought at the beginning, the master seems to be because of Perkins disease, it seems that he has been sick for a long time, has been in a wheelchair for more than ten years, and the old man is very old. So big, and then there are so many disciples, he probably forgot once he talked about it.I didn't expect to ask me as soon as I met, and I was so scared that I hurriedly told me.

So this cause and condition has been the most important one in terms of the cause and condition of being a monk since I started to learn to become a monk.If there is no such a big Bodhisattva of Master Shengyi, in my eyes he is like the Bodhisattva of Earth Store King. Without such an achievement, there would be no me who I am today. So here I am also special and put this paragraph forward.

Of course, there is also a teacher who can't forget, that is, the enlightened master who became a monk in Hua Zang and became a monk at that time.If there is no karma for this ordination, of course, although the karma is not long... but it is always at the initial karma, which is very rare.This kind of cause is very subtle, and it cannot be seen by ordinary people with naked eyes.

So here, I also express my special gratitude. Although it is really a relatively shallow fate, because like our Hua Zang, now everyone knows that Master Enlightenment is based on the three-time system.Well, I don’t know anything about it, so this may be the cause and condition of Fa-study, so naturally there is no such corresponding relationship, but this teacher’s kindness is the same, we are very grateful in our hearts!!

(XNUMX) If you have any doubts, you should judge and believe

(XNUMX) If you have any doubts, you should judge and believe

Okay, then... I'm going to briefly introduce myself here. It seems that I haven't talked about it briefly for a long time.Now there is still a little time for you to ask questions, then we will have a little more time tomorrow, and tomorrow we will formally talk about the topic we are going to learn this time: 【The Forty-Eight Vishes of the Immeasurable Life Sutra】, then now Do fellow practitioners have any questions to ask? You are all so polite, are you all graduated?

Or, remember that the old monk said: People who have problems are not honest? So I dare not ask, the old monk teaches the Fa, but the Fa is not fixed.The old monk's teaching of the Fa is very profound. It varies from time to time and from place to place. It is necessary to make sense and opportunity.He said that he was dishonest because of the people who came to ask, all day long, he just wanted to ask, and he didn’t do it. Of course, he said that you were not honest! Some people sometimes said: Your doubts are an obstacle to spiritual practice, we The Pure Land of Xiuxue especially pays attention to faith: faith is willing to do! Therefore, if you have doubts, you must be suspicious, so that you can become faith.

So don't just listen to one sentence and just listen to it.In the future, I dare not ask any questions, I am afraid of being scolded by others, so this time the cause is very difficult. If the fellow practitioners are embarrassed to ask questions, then you can also write a note, but it is best to grasp the circumstances and take any opportunity to improve yourself. Break the ego.

Someone responded immediately, OK, then give him a microphone...

All: Why do I always have nightmares?

Teacher: You always have nightmares, how long have you been?

Zhong: I didn’t have it when I was a kid, but it was a dream when I was a kid... In the end, it seems that every time I dream of that...

Teacher: What is a funeral?...A funeral, has it been recently?..Or is it something that hasn't happened for many years?

Zhong: Quite a lot, quite a lot! Every time I dream of it seems terrifying, it scares me to wake up! I will dream again when I fall asleep again... There are also dramas... It will be like that when I wake up and sleep again. , Sometimes it looks like a series.

Teacher: It is better to dream of that comedy next time! It is not good to dream of this, but it is better to dream of Buddha.

Zhong: When I was a child, I dreamed of Buddha, and then in the past few years I became...

Teacher: When I was a kid, I dreamed of Buddha! That is very rare, because your appearance also seems to be very blessed, so this should have a special cause and condition. Okay, please sit down first.

In fact, if we dream of some bad realm, then it must belong to the category of karma, then we must find a way to solve it. This is definitely not a good thing. There must be something that needs to be solved by you.There are several situations: One is that someone who is predestined with you needs you to help him, and I hope you can help him supersede.This is one kind, but if it is another kind of situation, your kinsman and creditor, he came to make trouble to make you feel uneasy. This is also possible.

But in fact, if we want to solve all the problems we encounter in our lives, my answer now can actually answer many, many questions of many fellow practitioners.Whatever you encounter in life, no matter how big or small it is, the best way is not more than this sentence: the power of "Namo Amitabha"! When I want to talk about this method, I actually have a lot of things behind it, I want Explain...why? Because many people look down on the power of this Buddha's name, and don't realize the power of this Buddha's name, so I am very afraid that when I answer this way, when I suggest, he thinks in his heart: That's it?

(XNUMX) To deeply appreciate the power of merit of Amitabha Buddha

(XNUMX) To deeply appreciate the power of merit of Amitabha Buddha

In fact, this is the most extraordinary method.You go to meet a lot of great virtues, you see [Quotations from the old monk Guangqin] You see some high-ranking officials, intellectuals, and people who come here to ask him, specifically to ask him questions, how to solve the situation? He said Go back and read: "Namo Amitabha".With such answers, it is impossible for the eminent monk to be ignorant of other methods, and it is impossible to perfuse you.Then why are all suggestions made like this? Indeed, this Buddha name can solve everything.

When I just started, I gave you this concept first, so when we are down for five days today, we actually have to deeply understand the power of this Buddha sign.You truly understand how to recite it, and you truly appreciate the power of this Buddha's name.Only then can you use the correct method to sense it, and then get useful from it.The method is very simple-just recite the Buddha.No matter how big or small things are, children have a fever, are not easy to bring along, karma is possessed by relatives and creditors, everything else can be solved with this Buddhist name! But the problem is that you have to know how to read it and let it happen. Strength? This is where we need to work hard.

So if you go back now, you can recite the Buddha seriously first. From morning to night in the middle of two or six o'clock, you can recite the Buddha whenever you have time. When it is convenient, you can recite the sound, and you can save others by reciting the sound as much as possible.

It’s inconvenient...the side is Christian, so don’t read it out, just read it in your heart.At mid-twenty or six, even before going to bed, you must go to sleep with the Buddha's name.This way, it can definitely be improved, but if you study with your heart and hold the Buddha's name, the power will be great and great!

Good! I was on the side of Yong Peng not long ago... Because I came to Malaysia this time and I have been in many societies for more than a month. I have already made friends with everyone, so I happened to live in a layman's house in that place.

This time I lived there for four days. On the first day I went in, I felt that the nearby dogs kept barking and crying.You know the sound of the dog barking. It doesn’t need me to perform. It’s not very nice. It keeps barking and I think: This is a problem. Maybe there may be some undead moving around here. Many dogs are crying all the time, not barking... Crying, it’s not called like that...it’s the kind of crying, a very miserable sound, it is usually seen by ghosts, they will cry, or they will be afraid! Very desolate sound, I think there is a kind of sound nearby problem.

Later, on the second and third day, when I was sleeping at night, I felt a cloud of gas next to me.Between half dream and half awake, usually when I dream, I feel that I am still awake. I know I am dreaming. I always do this. At that time, I realized there was a cloud of gas next to me. I was sure that it was an undead. It's ghosts and beings.Because I once saw it with my own eyes when I was awake, and at other times I have never had a direct connection with these beings.This is because I used to tell Buddhas and Bodhisattvas: You tell these sentient beings not to come to me, and wait for them to be done again.If you have something to do, go to Amitabha, don't come to me, because your ability is limited.Our women are relatively weak, and if the ghosts and beings approach us by any chance, they can't bear it!

(XNUMX) Confidence in the Buddha's name can produce power

(XNUMX) Confidence in the Buddha's name can produce power

So someone made my idea. We have a president here who wants me to be a master monk in the three-time system.No, no, no! We don't have that ability! At that time, I felt it had a mass of gas, that power was a big mass, maybe there is not only one sentient being.Then I'm right now... I don't have any thoughts, I immediately read one sentence: Namwu Amitabha! Just one sentence... The gas immediately left, disappeared, and I don't know where it went.

Because we often hear that there are beings, there are ghosts, and they are oppressed by ghosts.Many fellow practitioners have this kind of experience, being crushed by ghosts! It may want to press me, but there is no way to press it, it is right next to me... Then I... Nammo Amitabha, one sentence is gone! I feel that it is not by my side , Because it is moving, I will feel it obviously if I'm around.Then, after reciting this sentence, I immediately visualized the three holy sages of the West and brought them to the Paradise of Bliss, so that I was more fulfilled.Regardless of whether it is a debt collector or a meritorious person, it is right to send it away anyway. This sentence is very powerful, and it depends on whether you have confidence.

When I was a beginner many years ago, it was useless... I think it was useless to recite this Buddha name... Because I didn’t have confidence at the time, and I also recite Buddha in my sleep... I only recite three Amitabha... Why didn’t it work? ? I read again, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva... There are a lot of delusions, and I have a kind of mindfulness to see if it works... I think many fellow practitioners come in this kind of mood...

No matter how I read it before, I have had nightmares. Anyway, I recite three sentences of Amitabha, but it doesn’t work... I should recite Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva... Anyway Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is in charge of ghosts, many The fellow practitioners thought this way, and it didn't work.At that time, I was very troubled about this matter, and it was miserable! What should I do if the Buddha's name didn't work? It turns out that we can't read it! If we have the confidence to know how to read it, the power of a sentence is very great.

So you have to come to listen more, listen to the scriptures more, and truly understand the merits of this Buddha name from the pedagogical aspect.And the most important thing is that you have to practice it yourself. Although you still don't realize that this merit can't produce power, but in the honesty of your recitation, you will naturally understand it, and you will have confidence in this Buddha sign.Because when you are reading, you naturally have the feeling, you will feel as if things are really going smoothly and you can avoid disasters.I will give you some practical examples in the next few days to increase your confidence and avoid disasters.When this...has not yet passed away, we can get all kinds of blessings from the Buddha's light, and even many inductions. We will bring this up in the past few days.

Then today's time is up, then we will study here.This fate is very rare. I hope you all go back quickly and try your best to bring all your neighbors. We still have a little room to fill it up.This is an opportunity for me to save people and become Buddhas for you. I am obligated. You quickly bring me to be responsible for helping you save, and your merits are counted.How did you hear the Dharma if you didn’t bring him? How can you become a Buddha? Just bring it, and make sure that he can become a Buddha! It’s not my power, it’s the power of Amitabha! So you have to use some skill or bribes... I invite you You have to eat, this big restaurant... It's good to have a meal! But only if you want to be a vegetarian, don't eat meat for the sake of listening to the scriptures.Good! Then we will continue to study tomorrow.Amitabha!

(End of the first game)
