Read the "Infinite Life Sutra" and see what the Western Paradise is like; read the "Awakening of the World Sutra" again and see what the "Beijuluzhou" opposite us is like? You will understand whether the so-called social development is progress or regression.
Wouldn’t it be better if this evil world of five turbidities disappeared completely and everyone could be reborn in a better world? You must know that in the vast universe, the earth is not the only place inhabited by people. There is life activity everywhere in the universe. For example, Master Puqin said that after his death, he would be reborn in another world, where people have a life span of two thousand years, in order to be able to go there and practice the ultimate secret method in this life.
============North Kuluzhou============================== ========
Our earth is called Nanfangbu Continent, and the opposite side of us is North Kulu Continent.
There are many high mountains in Beikurulu, with many fragrant trees growing there (this tree is a very important blessing in the Beikulu people's fortune-telling), and there are also many grasses that are "four fingers long" , this grass will fall down if you step on it, and stand upright again when you lift your foot. The implication is that there are lawns everywhere and the greening is very good. Also "Yu Danyuezhou. Its land is flat and straight. There are no thorns. It is deep and thick forest. There are pits and screened latrines. The excrement is unclean. It is made of stone and rubble. It is pure gold and silver. It is neither cold nor hot. The seasons are harmonious. The ground is always moist." The grass is covered with trees, the branches and leaves are in full bloom, and the flowers and fruits are in full bloom. "The world mentioned in Buddhist scriptures almost always mentions "its earth is peaceful". In fact, this is the so-called interaction between the inner and outer human beings. , if the heart is fair, then the outside world must also be fair. Knowing this, we also know the reason why the outside world is uneven. What else can you say? If the land in a place is relatively fair, that means that most of the people here are basically fair-hearted. When our hair turns gray because of gold and silver, the people in North Kulu have no concept of greed at all, because they are filled with gold and silver, which is the world generated by their blessings.
Where do they live? Is it possible that they also have to pay attention to the level of house prices all the time? Is there anyone else who wrote "Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind" that says "The leakage in the bedside room has nowhere to dry, and the rain is like hemp at the feet"? Of course not. The people of Beikulu are incomparable to us, the people of Nanfangbuzhou. The people in our continent have basically endured hardships. If we compare it with a different perspective, compared to Kitakura Prefecture, our planet should basically be regarded as a "little hell". The people of Beijulu live in the woods, "They all live under the trees." "The leaves are densely covered. They are connected one after another. They are like grass covering the house. Rain does not leak." In these houses of different heights, The fragrance spreads everywhere. This kind of tree for people to live in is called "anzhu tree", which means a tree for living in peace. What is peace? There are no thieves outside and no worries inside. People on Earth wouldn’t dare say that. How to purchase daily necessities? It’s not that troublesome. People in Beikulu no longer have these physical and mental rushes. There is a tree there called “Utensil Tree”, which means various utensils grow among the trees. You said you want the coolest one in Taiwan. Computers are very simple, just pick them from the branches. There grows "natural Japonica rice" on the gold and silver ground. It is not cultivated. It is fresh and white, without skin and glutinous rice. When you want to eat it cooked, there are various fruits. It is called Dunchi. It is used as a gun and cauldron. It is burned with fire beads. It is true. Firewood. Fire comes naturally. Cook whatever you want. When the food is cooked, the fire will stop. (People in this continent have not yet learned the blessing of not cooking.) , grab a handful of rice without husks, pick a rice cooker from the trees, and pinch a leaf, which is a source of fire. I don’t know when the rice will be ready? Don’t worry, when the fire goes out, the meal is ready. Some people think this is too amazing and is science fiction. In fact, you can understand it from another perspective. Let’s compare it with a human from the perspective of a small mosquito. In the "Lotus Sutra ● Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva", Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva lives in a world in the east, where the height of people is 42,000 yojanas, which is half as high as Mount Sumeru in our world.
It is said that life is inseparable from water. Buddhist scriptures also mention this water when describing many worlds. The water in North Kulu Prefecture should be accurately said to be the water of the "four major ponds". It is "soft, sweet and light. It is fragrant and clean but not turbid." What about the big ponds here? You can't take a sip from any of them, otherwise five or six plastic bags will go into your stomach. Outside the four major pools, there are four major rivers, and the water is covered with various flowers. There are fascinating natural flower baths. When people in Beikulu want to take a bath, they put their clothes on the shore. Everyone takes a boat.
Ride into the water. Bath your body. "An interesting thing happened next, that is, the people who came ashore first after washing put on the clothes on the shore (no matter whose clothes they were) and left. No one shouted, and no one chased them ashore. "Why? ? The Yu Danyue people have no place for themselves and no one to protect them. "People in this continent have lost the concept of "person" and "I", and no longer have selfish distractions, so there is no concept of who is who. It's like picking a rice pot from a tree. If you want clothes, just pick it. , the difference is so clear, the tree is a place where everyone can enjoy it. When we see this, we really want to sigh, what is purity? In fact, it is a pure environment inside and outside the body, without the concept of self. This is the biggest characteristic of the people of Beijulu, and it is also the biggest reason for the induction of this continent. This is a state that we people on earth can only realize, and it is difficult to have it.
The environment in which we grow up is constant. Drought and floods, no matter how hard you take precautions, floods and fires will happen every once in a while. What will happen to the end of the world? It has been written clearly in the Buddhist scriptures, "Everything will become holy... Everywhere it appears that the land has become empty and empty. "The establishment, continuation, and destruction of one world are transformed into the establishment, continuation, and destruction of another world. The process can be divided into four periods: creation, dwelling, destruction, and emptiness. They are called four kalpas in Buddhism. At the "destruction" kalpa At that time, there was first a fire, then a flood, and then a strong wind, completely destroying everything below the three Zen heavens (Lixi wonderful bliss land). So, is this flood a blessing or a disaster? In fact, this is the manifestation of the karma of sentient beings, and it cannot be done by human beings. The rain falling in Beijulu is the water of eight merits, and its color is milky white. "The rain is four fingers deep." The present place. That is, there is no place in the ground. Not to mention the flow. "There will be no waterlogging there, and there is no chance of drought unless there are fires, floods and strong winds during bad times.
There are four gardens on the four sides of a lake called Shanxian Pond in Beijulu. These leisure places are beautiful, and the scenery inside allows them to indulge in as much as they want. In addition to having fun, Beikulu people enjoy this because they have accumulated blessings. Therefore, this is also one of their "difficulties". Because such blessings are still in the realm of desire, even if the blessings of the next life are relayed to become a heavenly being, but the blessings of heaven are exhausted, they will fall immediately. At this time, they are dominated by ignorance and are guided by the confusion of seeing and thinking. It is really difficult to meet the karma again.
Having said so much, what do the people in this continent look like? How do men and women in this continent fall in love? Both men and women look alike. Their hair is blue, their teeth are white and neat, and their skin is as white as agate. When they have lust, men look at women and women look at men. , just by looking at each other, they understood each other. So, the two people walked to those magical trees (Anzhu trees). There is a problem here, that is, how to distinguish between close relatives (here and the earth) because they look the same. People must be together)? This separation is done by the tree. They walked under the tree. If the two people are not close relatives, then "the tree is covered with low branches." The leaves are lush. The flowers and fruits are fresh and blooming. He also made hundreds of thousands of kinds of bedclothes and bedding for that person. Then Xiang Xiang will enter under the tree. Have fun doing whatever you want. "If not, the branches will not droop and the leaves will wither immediately. After the joy, it is time to give birth. A woman is only pregnant for seven days, and she will give birth on the eighth day. It is so fast, why? In a word, this continent People with great blessings are something we in Nanfang can only envy. Women here suffer so much during pregnancy that it takes ten months for them to give birth. During this period, both the mother and the fetus are suffering. It’s terrible. They are accustomed to these hardships, and they don't know how to escape from this female body. People in Beikulu don't have such pain of pregnancy. Not only are they not as painful as pregnancy, but they are not as tired as raising a child. As soon as he put it in his mouth, he ignored it. However, the passers-by did not care about it and gave the child milk to drink (it flowed from the fingertips, which was also a kind of induction generated by no one). , they grow up, men look for men, and women look for women, and they continue to have fun. In fact, the acceleration of these "suffering" situations is because there is little suffering in Beikulu. On the other hand, men and women go from falling in love to getting married and having children. There are countless worries between giving birth to a child and raising them up. Where are the North Kulu people who are so free and easy-going, and where are the people there who are free? In the eyes of us people on earth, they seem to be heartless people. In fact, that is them. Cut off some causes of attachment. Attachment is a root cause of troubles.
People in Beikulu can live up to a thousand years, and they will never die prematurely. Why is this? Longevity is achieved by refraining from killing. This is because they refrained from killing in their past lives. Why did you throw something away? That's because you took something from someone else because you didn't give it back, either remotely or proximately. This result is absolutely unmistakable. When I write this, I want to say that if we don’t recite Buddha’s name and do good deeds, the possibility of being reborn in a good path (human, heaven, or asura) is very slim. Because the good path is the Dharma Realm generated by the induction of the Five Precepts and Ten Good Deeds. If you are greedy, angry, and delusional, you violate the nature of that Dharma Realm. You are like water and fire, and you cannot enter it at all. As far as we humans are concerned, the truth is that this condition is an insurmountable gap, because the human nature we are born with is difficult to change. Although there are good and evil in this human nature, most of it is greed, anger and ignorance that are inspired by circumstances and spread like fire. of poison. The Master said that if a person is not greedy, does not fight, does not seek, is not selfish, does not benefit himself, and does not tell lies, then he is more than ready to become a Buddha. Just asking us who can do it? Therefore, if you want to leave this world and go to a better place, it is an absolutely rational and wise choice to do good deeds and accumulate merit while relying on the power of Buddha to give you blessings. This is the best way to bring your karma to rebirth. "Impermanence" is the mainstream of the three realms, and people in North Kulu also have their end of life. The people of Beijulu "are destined to die. They will all be reborn" and they will all be reborn as gods.
When people on earth weep for death, the North Kullu people will not do this. They have put down their attachment to life and death, and have no concept of life and death. There is no heavy suffering to endure, so There are also fewer major troubles and causes. Just like when they were alive, when they died, they put them at the crossroads and left. At this time, birds "thrown the corpses on Yu Fangzhou Zhu". Because the people of Beijulu have no concept of self, their body and mind are pure. When they are going to defecate, the earth will automatically break apart, and "the earth will be reunited as before." Compared with the southern part of the country, this continent is really a clean place.
