Master Confucianism and filial piety: This fellow initiate's question is very important. Let's discuss this topic. According to the thought of Hua Yan Jing, the Buddha said that reaching the supreme bodhi is the ultimate goal and a long-term goal. When we are inspired, one is to "seek enlightenment from the heart", which can be said to be the goal of the world; Second, in our ordinary social life, "self-sacrifice for others" lacks a goal, that is, the link of "seeking enlightenment from the heart"
Studying Buddhism at home is equivalent to bodhisattva. Because the reason why you study Buddhism is to pursue the consciousness of life, you must have this goal. Without this goal, there is no need to find Buddha, just because you live in the atmosphere of this world, so there is deviation. The life of a monk can be summarized as "doing things with peace of mind", and the core is to pursue "just waiting for enlightenment"; Living at home is actually dealing with all sentient beings. If you have a selfless state, serving all sentient beings is a bodhisattva. Bodhisattva is a warrior and can measure all beings. The Buddha in Hua Yan Jing? The content of consciousness in Pu Xian's "Wishing Goods" includes the world and the world, and the goal is nothing more than two-awakening life and dedicating life. Realizing life is our thought, and dedicating life is our behavior.
There are fifty-three participants in Hua Yan Jing who are good at money, and each participant is the content of world life. To put it bluntly, the content of life is the content of practice. If a person who walks in the world has an ideal in his heart, and the goal is to realize and contribute to life, then everything in the world, except the evil law, is the realm of life that he should know. We want to help everyone. When we are close to all beings, we need to have an identity, a career and even a certain amount of wealth. If there is no wealth, what will you pay? Even mentally, if we don't understand the importance of giving comfort to others, how can we give him comfort? I didn't realize. How can I give it to him? Therefore, from the practice of Mahayana Bodhisattva, all the contents of life are the realm of practice. The difference is that he has not forgotten his purpose and goal in his heart.
There are three parts of exercises that we must pay attention to. The first is to join the club. Do we want to be bodhisattvas, arhats, or important people in the afterlife? We hope that these honors in the world will benefit others in a positive way, because people who speak lightly and have no status will not benefit others; The negative side is to reserve resources for yourself. If we can't even get the human body, the Buddha's teaching method will not be heard. Therefore, in order to get this person, we must do some good deeds to protect our future, which is in line with life science.
To sum up your questions briefly: the first is motivation, the second is behavior, and the third is summary. Whether practicing or not, all the contents of life are the realm of practice. Only people who have Jaken, my views and bad views get corresponding results in their troubled lives. This fruit is "the six divisions in the wheel of karma", and his future will get an imperfect life form, which will prevent him from improving his wisdom and exerting his subjective initiative and unlimited creativity.
So these three links are very important, please remember. The first is initiation or goal, the second is method, and the third is introspection, which is called reform or summary in Buddhism. In life or society, no matter what you ask for, there is no direct method, only indirect method. Even if you don't know what you want, your subconscious mind and your heart will tell you that you are seeking the fruits of reincarnation. You are dealing with the phenomenon of life with the concepts of greed and ignorance, and the final "product" is the six divisions in the wheel of karma-an imperfect life form.
Maybe you don't know your own motives, but you still live in faith. No matter what you love, you have an object of love-wealth, fame, food and sleep. If you love, you will believe. If you believe, you will read and work hard in that direction. You may not know these are bad, but you must have your goals, which is the universal law of life. You have created many achievements unconsciously, and you won't know until you practice. But when this result comes out, you will feel dissatisfied and have new complaints and expectations. In this way, I have been tossing and turning all my life, just like being fascinated by ghosts. I can't get out, so it's called reincarnation.
If you have foresight and know that this is a misunderstanding, you may have an opinion about life or the world. When you have a kind heart, heaven and earth will send you some signals, and your good roots will touch your compassion or the softest part of your life. Your conscience will make you uneasy, and you will feel that you have never had a happy day in such a mediocre life. This shows that you have thought about life. Because of this kind of thinking, you are willing to pursue the wise and look for resources, so that you can understand why there is so much helplessness in this life. In fact, there is a belief called wisdom belief and life exploration. In fact, you have begun to realize. This vision determines your goal in life and is a holistic thinking. This holistic thinking is due to good karma.
By studying Buddhism, you know that Bodhisattva is like this, and you also know that Bodhisattva guides the world selflessly and passionately with the concept of six-degree practice in real life. Bodhisattvas are all man-made, and bodhisattvas can do what people can do, so bodhisattvas are courageous people. We are men too. The so-called gentleman is because he has a big blueprint for life, is willing to pursue it, and expects to get this realm of life. This is a bodhisattva. Formally speaking, what Bodhisattva does is the same as what we do, and the content of each of our lives is this form of expression.
Why is the final result different? One is to live actively, have foresight and set goals for life; One is that unconsciously, life goes with the flow, because of the insatiable realm and the sensory stimulation of money, color, food and sleep, so the consciousness and spirituality of life are getting lower and lower.
People usually judge people by their ideas. I think there are no bad people and good people in this world, only good thoughts and evil thoughts. Each of us is relative, good and bad. It seems biased to judge a person by one thing. But some people really go too far. People think they are really bad people, but that doesn't mean they don't have Buddha nature. Like you said that dogs have Buddha nature? Can dogs become buddhas? My answer is yes.
Every living thing has different feelings about life, which can be roughly divided into life forms. There is no denying that human beings have a high starting point. Just because dogs are affectionate and some people are not as kind as dogs, it cannot be said that humans are not as good as dogs. This is the wrong logic. Don't think so emotionally, but also acknowledge the individual differences and the starting point of the whole life.
You know, society is the lowest standard of spiritual norms required by human beings. Society's evaluation of our good people is too low, which is not suitable for our life. Our pursuit should be perfection, sage and virtuous. These achievements are not difficult. With such resources and possibilities, why don't we use them? It depends on the initiative and passivity of life.
If you let go of this heart, all darkness is possible; If you pursue this heart, all the glory and light will appear. There are too many ways to pursue depravity. If you pursue the promotion of life, because there is a Buddha, it is a difference in mind. The Buddha brought us these resources with his life. The question is, in Baoshan, do we know this is a treasure?
There used to be a baby in Tibet named dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi-dzi is a living body, and it is a magnetic field. If you have that state of mind, put it on, it will feed you and you will enjoy it. If you treat it greedily, it is useless to wear it when everything is digital in your eyes. It's like a superstitious legend: diamonds are better for women, while magnetic fields are too rigid for men, which is not conducive to life. There is no such thing as good or bad in the world, let alone our hearts.
When we know this, we must be awed and conscious. We should discover the great creativity of life, believe it when we find it, and share it when we believe it. You can actively plan your life with foresight, and the content is to learn Buddhism. In fact, apart from this matter, nothing else can compare with the ultimate life answer.
Today's wisdom growth point:
1. All the contents of life are the realm of practice. The difference is that I have not forgotten my goals and objectives in my heart.
There are three important links in practice, please remember. The first is the heart or goal; The second is the method; The third is introspection, which is called regression or summary in Buddhism.
3. If you let go of this heart, all darkness is possible; If you pursue this heart, all the glory and light will appear.
