Lesson 53

Let's continue to learn the pure land law of Tibet. Now some people say: I don't want to go to heaven, I want to go to hell to transform all beings. This statement seems to have some truth, but careful observation reveals that it is unreasonable. Jizo

The Buddhist scriptures say that if you want to go to hell, "if you don't threaten God, you need karma. If you don't do these two things, you can't get there. " It can be seen that if you want to go to the underworld, you must rely on the power of power or the power of evil karma. If you are a saint who climbs the earth, of course you can be like Manjusri.

Like King Gelsall, Bodhisattva and Avalokitesvara directly transform all beings in hell with magical powers. But if an ordinary person reincarnated in hell due to karma can't save himself, how can he save others?

Ruyibao, the French king, once said: "Some people wish to save all beings in hell after death. This is a statement that they can do nothing. If they don't even have the ability to save all beings in the world, it will be even harder to save all beings in hell. " have

Some people may make such a wish because it is easy to save all beings. In fact, saving all beings is not as easy as they think. When we go to release animals, even if we use all our strength, we dare not say how much we can save from the butcher.

It is even more difficult to save all beings in hell from the jailers in Yamaraja. In the past, the French king Ruyibao made many wishes: after death, he would go to the Elysium, and with the blessing of Amitabha, he would gain infinite merits such as perseverance, magical power and wisdom.

After that, I will return to the mother god's world to transform infinite beings. As a disciple, you should also make a wish with the French king Ruyibao.

In the Song Dynasty, there was a lawyer named Zhao. At first, he was not interested in the pure land of previous lives, and vowed to live in a troubled world and help the suffering beings. Later, when he was watching the Biography of Becoming a Family, he saw the teachings of Master Hui Bu-"The land is not mine."

I wish, if 10 takes pleasure in robbing the lotus, why not save all beings through the way of three sufferings? "Since then, I have strengthened my own ideas, not only have no confidence in the Pure Land Method, but also vilify other people who practice the Pure Land Method. Many years later, lawyer Yuan Zhao was seriously ill.

When he was ill, he was pale and confused, and he was completely uncertain about life and death. Only then did he realize that his moral strength was insufficient, and living in filthy soil was just unrealistic talk. Later, I read Ten Doubts of Pure Land by Master Ming.

See discussion: "An ordinary bodhisattva. You must always be with the Buddha. Endurance and achievement. Can be in the three realms. In an evil world. Save the suffering beings. ..... tie up ordinary people. Show great compassion for others. May you have a bad life. Save the suffering beings. Nothing. " since then/from then on

After that, he repented and concentrated on practicing the Pure Land Method.

The canon says, "For example, a baby can't leave its mother. If you leave your mother too. Or fall into a pit. Thirst for milk. Like a bird with unformed wings and feathers. I must tie the branch to the tree. Not far away. " Therefore, just like a baby has no ability to live, it cannot be separated.

Open the mother, the young bird's wings have not grown up, and it can't fly away from the branches. In the same way, ordinary people are born and cannot leave the Buddha. Some people think they are in good shape and don't need to go to Elysium, but they can.

Directly in the world of women. These people should not be too confident. Although there are three treasures blessed by the guru, ordinary people will have some spiritual realm for the time being, but they are unstable and easy to lose. It is necessary to be on the safe side.

Vow to live in Elysium and follow Amitabha forever.

Not only do we swear to live in the pure land in the afterlife and never leave Amitabha, but we must leave Amitabha forever from now on, and we must read Amitabha and pray for Amitabha while living, sitting and lying down. In the practice of guru yoga, we should visualize that the guru's three points of light merge into our own three points [1].

Then imagine the guru transforming light from his Fan Jing point into his heart, and his heart and the wisdom of the guru become the same. If you clear four obstacles, you get four kinds of initiation, and now you are in the top four positions. We can put Amitabha's ontology view

Practice for the sake of guru, so that you can never leave the blessing of guru Amitabha. Not only Amitabha, but also when practicing any Buddhism, the Buddha's body should be regarded as a guru, in order to quickly obtain the blessing of the Buddha and the guru.

The above practice is tantric enlightenment. Some people want to be enlightened, but they always suffer from not being enlightened. In fact, enlightenment can be achieved through the above methods, and it is not necessary to have a real guru. Although in

When you first enter Tantric Buddhism, you need a real guru to initiate, but then you can initiate through visualization. This practice is very deep. On the surface, it is very simple to imagine that light is integrated into your body.

Visualization, some people think it is similar to some achievements in the world, but its merits far exceed the world. If some people especially like to practice kung fu, they can practice according to the above methods.

Anyway, in today's era, the method of pure land religion is a very suitable method. Whether you are a monk or at home, whether you are a wise man or a fool, whether you are an old man or a young man, whether you are studying acting or learning secrets, everyone should practice the Pure Land Method and make a vow to live in Elysium. Today, we sent Thangka to Taoist friends in Elysium. Always observe, pray and make a vow to live in Elysium.

I would also like to remind you that practicing the Pure Land Method requires a certain degree of priority-first, you need to know ten kinds of bad karma, and then stop ten kinds of bad karma. On this basis, you need to study Buddhism diligently before you have a chance to go to Elysium. Some people think that

In favor: you don't need to practice according to the times, you can go to the pure land as long as you concentrate on Buddhism. Although this situation is not ruled out-some people have planted extraordinary good roots in their last lives, as long as they read a Buddhist name, they can solve all the problems in this life.

You can successfully go to Elysium, but for most people, you must practice according to the above time, otherwise you won't even understand the ten most basic evil deeds, and you will continue to get rid of them. It will be difficult to go to the pure land.

You can't get through the top ten bad jobs after listening to them, so keep them in mind. If our memory is too poor, we should take notes in class and read more books after class. Faben is a guru without hatred. He can do it at any time.

In order to ask "him" for advice, unlike the real guru, he answers your questions when he is happy, refuses to answer when he is unhappy, and even loses his temper with you. Finally, he didn't understand: I asked so many times that the guru not only didn't want it.

Answer, but very unhappy, how could he be like this? So everyone should obey the law, a good guru who has no hatred and answers questions. After learning the truth about ten bad jobs, we should not stay in theory, but look back at ourselves.

Body, to see if there are these evil deeds, if there are, be sure to cut off.

Let's start with "Ten Bad karma" to talk about alienation. The so-called alienated language refers to the language that provokes others' relations. Some people have a glib tongue. Originally, some people had a good relationship, and it was quite wrong for him to turn these people against each other in a few words.

Judging from the seriousness of the consequences, alienation can be divided into big alienation, middle alienation and small alienation.

Great alienation refers to breaking the peace with monks, that is, provoking the relationship between Buddha and his family. In the past, when the Buddha was alive, God Da also committed the crime of breaking a monk. Now, because the Buddha is dead, there are no monks who stand on the opposite side of the Buddha like the god Dharma, and the Buddhist relics and eyes are not even dead [2], so there will be no real broken monks. The same is to provoke the relationship between monks and their families. In the last French era, there were many people who provoked the relationship between Master Kong and his disciples. If they provoke the relationship between Confucius and his disciples and break their secret vows, the results of such people will be quite serious.

The alienation of China people refers to the destruction of the relationship between temples or between two groups of monks with more than four monks and less than eight monks.

Now some people seem to have great confidence in the guru and are particularly concerned about him. They ran to the guru and said, "I am your only child, and I have special confidence in you." Don't you know? A guru once said something about you.

Lost ..... ",spreading disputes in such language, the guru immediately believed after hearing these words, and there was a contradiction with other gurus from then on. This act of spreading disputes is the reason for falling into endless hell.

I heard something recently: monks in a temple are divided into two factions, and the relationship is very stiff. In order to reconcile the relationship between the two sides, the leaders of local religious departments went to the temple to do work. But both sides not only refused to accept the adjustment.

Solve, but say that the leadership is unfair. Later, those leaders were very unhappy and said, "Originally, the monk wanted to solve the contradiction between family members, and now you have contradictions. We kindly help you, but you take this as the way. "

Aren't you ashamed of our attitude? "

In the late French era, there were many such monks, and they were not harmonious. Although some monasteries are small, the monks in them are divided into many factions. On the surface, the factions have a good relationship, but secretly they repel each other and even openly contradict each other.

And conflict. Monks in some monasteries get along well with non-Buddhists, but they are particularly exclusive to monks in other monasteries. Because of the disharmony between monasteries and monks, their followers at home are also confused.

Cloud, in the end, all monks and customs have committed terrible crimes.

Therefore, Taoist friends should be alert to their own language and observe before speaking to see if their words will cause conflicts between monasteries or monks. Don't talk if they feel so dangerous. Some people just don't pay attention to this aspect, which leads to serious consequences and even makes them regret it for a lifetime, but after all, it's too late to regret it.

Petty dispute refers to two or more monks and nuns who are harmonious, in love and harmony, or gossiping between neighbors and husband and wife, creating discord, causing them to have grievances and fighting.

This kind of alienation is the most common and its abuse is also very serious. Once upon a time, there was a man named Antingbai who was good at alienating each other. Once he annoys him, two close people will become sworn enemies. Antingbo destroyed the harmony of many families and relatives. Later, before his karma appeared, his cheeks ached, his throat and tongue festered, and he died tragically in a howl.

No matter how big, medium or small the alienation is, on the surface, it is just a sentence or two, which seems to be no big deal, but the speaker will make terrible crimes because of it. There are many disputes in classics such as Classic of Hundred Industries and Classic of Pi Naje.

English case-solving, in which the parties were robbed in hell for a long time because of a disagreement, and only after they came out of hell did they feel pain, which was very pitiful. Therefore, monks and friends at home must never talk about estrangement. have

Sometimes, the monk's discord seems to be more serious than at home. Now, my family gets up early every day and works like ants. They are so busy that they don't even have time to talk or do much, but they have time to say yes.

No, so monks should pay more attention to this.

Everyone should realize that telling lies directly or alienating others with flattery is the same crime as encouraging others to alienate others. From the way of alienation, alienation can be divided into two types: one is direct alienation, that is, straightness.

Then speak provocative language; The other is indirect alienation, which seems not to provoke, or even sounds like harmony between the two sides at first glance, but the real purpose is to sow discord. So some people are very good at alienating each other.

Yes Among the practitioners, some of King Kong's Taoist friends were very close, and later they turned against each other because of some people's provocation. In order to achieve their goals, some people in the world have also broken it by fiction or embellishment.

Many people's relationships.

What is the result of alienation? The meaning of alienation is greed, ignorance and three poisons, so its different fruit is to fall into three evils accordingly. The equivalent result of alienated language is that even if you are reincarnated, you will be at odds with your servant as soon as possible and don't want to live in the same place.

At home, my mind is very unstable, and I always wander around. Wherever I go, I will meet people who talk about alienation, and I like to talk about alienation from generation to generation. In this world, many people are feeling these results: some people don't care.

No, I never get along well with others. Everyone hates him and is often bullied by others. Even in different environments, I still have the same fate. Everyone should reflect, if they have these experiences, don't blame others.

Think of it as the result of my past estrangement.

The results of these alienation are clearly stated in Buddhist scriptures. The book "Principles of Buddhism and Dharma" says: "Anyone who has two tongues says that what good people don't praise is always despicable, and it is also evil." If anyone says estrangement, good people don't.

I will admire him, and this person will be reborn in a despicable place, such as being born in a discordant family or a discordant group. "Hua Yan Jing" said: "The sin of two tongues also makes all beings fall into three evil ways. If you are born, you will get two results: one.

Family relatives are deviant, and two relatives are harmful. Talking about alienation will make all beings fall into three evils. Even if they get a person, they will feel two fruits of equality: one is family disharmony, just like all beings in hell hate each other, and the other is family extremes.

No, everything is not satisfactory.

The law of cause and effect is subtle. Even if you say a word of alienation, you will also draw the seeds of bad karma on the speaker's Araya. Maybe the speaker didn't think it was serious at the time, but it will definitely hurt in the future. Every living thing

I want to be happy, but I don't want to feel pain, but because all beings are stupid and don't know the cause and effect, they often plant seeds of bad karma that cause pain. Some people generally know that they can't talk about alienation, but they know nothing about it.

Know, or often create bad karma of alienation. Therefore, we must attach importance to the thought of causality.

The result of alienation is terrible. If you have committed such a bad business before, you must try to repent. When you repent, you can recite Buddha's name, mantra, Prajna Sutra or Mahayana Sutra. Read "Weeds"

There is a case-solving in Hall Notes that splits the language industry by writing classics. There used to be a scholar in Jiangning who lived alone in the abandoned garden of his hometown. One night, while he was reading in his study, a gorgeous woman peeped at the window. male

Knowing that it was either a ghost or a fox, the woman was called into the house because she had a beautiful face and was not afraid at all. After the woman entered the room, she said nothing and didn't ask her anything. After a month like this, the scholar didn't know she was coming.

Calendar One day, the scholar asked her again and again. She picked up a pen and wrote: She was an Hanlin's concubine in the Ming Dynasty. Because she is good at alienating each other in life, the Hanlin family is incompatible with each other, which is a bad karma. After her death, she fell into a dumb ghost, and she has fallen into a ghost path for more than 200 times.

In 2008, if you can write ten diamond sutras for her, you can pull out the pain. The scholar helped her write ten diamond sutras. On the day when the book was finished, the woman came to thank the scholar, picked up a pen and wrote: By writing scriptures and repenting, I am now out of my mind.

Interesting, but I still want to be a talking Sargam III because of my sins in my previous life.

What needs special emphasis is that among all alienation, the most serious one is to destroy the harmony between monks and the masses. Now, although there is no real break-up between monks and monks, it happens from time to time to provoke the relationship between teachers and disciples or monasteries. Because some people

Some masters and monasteries broke up and even attacked each other. The masters and believers in these temples don't know who is right or wrong, but they want to attack each other behind their backs. This phenomenon is found in overseas buddhas.

The teaching profession is quite serious. There are still some people who are Buddhists on the surface, but actually don't care about the afterlife. As soon as they open their mouths, they say the mistakes of other sects of eminent monks, and we dare not repeat his language. Sometimes it seems that two languages

Evil people really don't do things, just as the Buddha said in the book of Chinese calligraphy: "If you are evil, you will be tongue-tied so that others can lead you." Don't be kind to others, don't do innocent things. "

Such alienation is very serious. Its retribution is similar to the sin of infernal affairs. For example, "Manjusri Shili Foundation" said: "There is a person who created the contradiction between the temple and the guru, just like a stick, stirring the blood."

People will immediately fall into endless hell after death. "Such alienation is also very harmful to all beings. In the past, when devadatta broke up with the monks, all sentient beings in the whole world could not have good roots [3]. Similarly, if there is a dispute among monks, even before the monks are not harmonious, all local beings will fall into hell because of anger. It seems that no seedlings will grow in scorched earth, and there are countless merits in practicing Buddhism within ten days in the places where disputes occur.

It can also be seen from here that the environment of practice is very important. Tibetan places pay special attention to the environment of spiritual practice. If something happens in a Dojo, such as destroying the monk group, criticizing the guru, and being polluted by people who break their vows, practicing there is not only not

It will produce merit, but it will violate the destiny. A good place is prone to the merits of practicing Buddhism. As the French king Ruyibao said, after the 1950s, especially during the Cultural Revolution, Buddhism in Tibet suffered great violations.

However, the Larong Valley, where the college is located, has never been polluted, and practicing dharma here is easy to produce merit. In addition, in the big cities of the Han nationality, it is difficult to produce good thoughts such as confidence and compassion, while troubles such as greed and anger are constantly emerging.

It is also difficult to produce the merits of spiritual practice in these places. Everyone should try to stay away from these unclean places. However, some people are deeply troubled because of their bad personalities, and they have a clean Dojo, but they don't get along with anyone.

I often have conflicts with others and finally have to leave the Dojo. This is his own problem, and we can't think that the Dojo is not clean. )

The book "Advise the Heart Sutra" says: "It is better to stay away from all kinds of troubles than to stay away from it for a while." Some monasteries are noisy every day, and there are many contradictions between monks, so they stay there to contact each other.

If you can't calm down, how can you talk about the merits of listening, thinking and practicing? Therefore, the harmony and unity of monks is very important. When the French king Ruyibao established the Wuming Buddhist College in Larong, he set three commandments-unity, harmony and purity.

Pure abstinence and meditation, the French king often emphasizes the unity of monks and nuns. Thanks to the blessing of the Sambo guru, monks and nuns in the whole hospital have been getting along well for many years, and everyone's meditation has been very successful. Unity and harmony are indeed right or wrong.

Usually very important, I think any group needs unity and cooperation. Without unity and cooperation, it is impossible to succeed in doing things.

Nowadays, most people talk nonsense between men and women at home, between urban and rural areas, between neighborhoods and temples, causing disputes and creating chaos. This is simply creating evil karma under the sin of infernal affairs. It is very important to control your mouth.

If there are alienated people in a group, it will do great harm to the whole group, and such people are not welcome anywhere. When the Buddha was alive, six groups of monks often distinguished right from wrong among the monks and passed on this man's words to them.

That man, in turn, passed on that man's words to this man, stirring up the whole monk group. Later, the Buddha severely reprimanded the six monk groups and asked them not to talk about alienation in the monk groups in the future. Nowadays, when many departments recruit employees, they are

A person who doesn't like gossiping, even if the candidate has a higher diploma and more skills, will not be hired if he likes gossiping.

People can't be without faults. Many people talk about estrangement from each other. Some people repent after learning Buddhism and often confess in front of Buddha and Bodhisattva, but others don't, probably because they are meaningless.

I know mindfulness probably because I used to be very used to it. As long as I meet someone, I will hold each other and whisper, "I have a lot to say to you, but I have never had a chance." I finally met you today. You should pay attention to what others say about you.

How ... "These people are still looking around when they talk. In fact, when you speak ill of someone, the person who is said will often appear. This is a secular origin, and as a result, both sides are embarrassed. I hope these gossips.

Be careful, don't alienate people, and don't spread unfounded language, otherwise you may be in a very embarrassing situation. Some women who love to tell lies are happy at first, but they finally get to her.

I couldn't say anything when I landed on my head. At that time, I could only wipe my tears silently, which was unnecessary.

Generally speaking, it is easy for ordinary people to go their separate ways because of slanders. Only the saints who climb the ground will not be alienated and broken, mainly because ordinary people like the new and hate the old, frivolous and frivolous, and have a lot of distractions. Every fool is like this.

Just like, as long as a little wind blows into his ears, he believes it without observation: "It's really like this!" " ""He really did this to me! The Collection of Laws also says: "Trust strangers, stop bad guys and give up hastily. "

Friends, fools, three ways. "(this teaching certificate is so good that everyone should observe it and see if he is so stupid. )

In fact, whether we are monks or laymen at home, we are all brothers and sisters under the guidance of Sakyamuni Buddha. Especially those who practice pure land Sect, we are all disciples of Amitabha, and we are all influenced by Amitabha's compassion and wisdom.

The people you care about are Taoist friends who died in bliss. Don't listen to rumors and abandon Taoist friends. The Collection of Laws also said: "Don't give up friends and companions because of other languages, observe what others say, and those who want to provoke others should look for opportunities, so don't alienate each other."

Language. "The man's words are very cow force. Things that haven't happened are often heard, so we should observe the right and wrong in detail. People who want to provoke often look for opportunities. If they don't trust others, they won't lead.

Seduce yourself, so don't believe what others say. In the future, if someone says something wrong to himself, he will either say his mantra silently, or pretend not to hear clearly, or pretend to doze off, or change the subject, unlike some people.

Sample, when it comes to Buddhism, dying, talking about right and wrong is in high spirits.

Generally speaking, people who are hypocritical, shameless, flattering, sweet-talking, ruthless, duplicitous and nonsense are good at alienating each other, so don't get along with such people day and night. In karma,

He said: "Treacherous, stingy people, people who sow discord, wise people should not be close, and should not associate with evil friends." If we stop evil friends, we will become evil people, so we should stay away from evil friends and get close to good friends who can promote our progress.

People around us are very different. Some people like reading Confucian classics and talking about self-confidence and alienation. It helps a lot to communicate with such a good friend for an hour. In some biographies of Dade,

It is said that some people have touched themselves greatly and benefited for life after contacting a guru or Taoist friend. On the contrary, some people are irresponsible and reverse right and wrong. If you get close to such a person, you will completely ruin your appearance.

Go on. Of course, what kind of people you can meet is related to your own blessings, but in any case, try to stay away from the wicked and be close to your good friends.

[1] That is, the white word "om" enters the brow, the red word "a" enters the throat, and the blue word "bang" enters the heart.

[2] Breaking up monks does not last long. However, under the teaching method of Sakyamuni Buddha, only the two venerable figures, namely the Buddhist relic and the Buddhist monk, can be integrated with other monks, so there will be no real separation of monks when these two venerable figures are not alive, otherwise there will be no middle way. For details, please refer to "Questions and Answers on All Abandonment".
