Core Tip: Many good ideas in the world are said by many people, and few people practice them. Without practice, it is impossible to get its true meaning. Many people only care about how to become a Buddha, which often adds to their troubles. The Buddha is not in the Buddhist temple, so I no longer imagine it. Buddha is in life, in action, in the sacrifice of salvation. Even if it is such a small thing as helping others, we should try our best to make him the best. In this process, there is naturally prajna wisdom. Excerpt 1 Tan Sitong and Liang Qichao talk about Buddhism at Fayuan Temple in Beijing. Tan Sitong interprets the trend of Huayan Sutra and understands the realm of Mahayana Buddhism: Buddhism has evolved strangely since it came to China. From the beginning, everyone failed to really grasp the essence of Buddhism, but worked hard on the form. The path of Buddhism is invisible, but people who pretend to be Buddhists make it more and more tangible all day. Hua Yanjing has "backward products". People who claim to be bodhisattvas should "return" to the world, from birth to WTO, and lay down their lives for all beings. This kind of sacrifice after the "return" is the real Buddhism. But when Buddhism spread to China, China people only knew that they were born, but they didn't know about joining the WTO. They only walked halfway, thinking they had finished the whole journey. The goal of their life and liberation is "nirvana", and they think that negativity, nothingness and the extinction of the will to live are the goals of this line. They are all wrong. They don't know that the essence of Buddhism is only halfway here, and if you want to finish it, you have to "turn back". When it comes to "turning around", Buddhist figures have all done it, but they are just obsessed. In the late Five Dynasties, Zhou Shizong pointed out: "Many monks and nuns sacrificed their lives, burned their arms and practiced their fingers, nailed their hands and feet, hung lanterns and bells, ruined their bodies in various ways, teased props, forbidden the left way, lied about being reborn, and were enchanted by the holy water lamp. They are all gathering people to dazzle the vulgar and confuse the vulgar, and everything will stop in the future. " It can be seen that this kind of sacrifice is just a trick, not really for the people. At the end of the Five Dynasties, when the whole country was in financial difficulties, Zhou Shizong ordered the destruction of bronze Buddha statues in the world to make money. His reason is: I heard that Buddhism regards life experience as vain and eager for quick success. If the Buddha himself were still alive, he would even sacrifice his real body to save the people, not to mention these bronze masks. This theory is the theory that really understands Buddhism. At the end of the Ming dynasty, Zhang "slaughtered the people, spread all over the counties, and passed away." One day, Li Dingguo, his subordinate, met the monk who broke the mountain. The monk pleaded for the people and asked not to massacre the city again. Li Dingguo called into the pile and took out mutton, pork and dog meat. He said to Broken Mountain, "If you monks eat these, I will seal the knife!" Broken mountain said: "The old monk is a living creature, why don't you cherish the Tathagata!" I showed it to him right away. Li Dingguo had the ability to steal, so he had to seal the knife. Zhou Shizong and Zen Master Broken Mountain are really first-rate people who are well versed in Buddhism, because they can really break the "hold". In Buddhism, there are "I hold" and "law hold": I hold what most people think is subjective; Law enforcement is regarded as an objective world. Because they are well versed in Buddhism, they can "serve millions of beings", destroy the Buddha's golden body, and open the Tathagata to quit. Generally, Buddhist figures talk about worldly laws all day long, but they can't really understand and practice anything. Buddhism is believed by these people, and it is believed by these good men and women. "If the Buddha knows, he should cry and mourn." Excerpt 2 About "Giving up one's life for righteousness", people with lofty ideals in ancient and modern times only appeared in the evil world after birth, which is exactly what Buddha said "let nature take its course" and Confucius said "seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence". Finally, I am willing to shed blood for all beings. Without me to save all beings, I will bring about my own destruction and ruin my family, which is also a good destination. This is the real so-called sacrifice. There are Tathagata, Manjusri and Bodhisattvas in the temple. This is the so-called "Hua Yan Er Xian". I think they will agree with my explanation from Hua Yan Jing. The Buddha has three bodies: Dharma Body, Report Body and Respond Body. When the sun comes, it is the Buddha's dharma body. There are three incarnations in Buddhist scripture theory, the so-called "self-correspondence", "otherness correspondence" and "non-body correspondence". The second kind of "otherness correspondence" has the saying that the devil turns into a Buddha's body and the relic into a goddess. I think this incarnation is the real body of the Buddha. From this perspective, the Manjusri Bodhisattvas sitting here and standing on both sides are actually false bodies. He himself is a statue, which just proves the falsehood of this kind of modeling. If wood carving is spiritual, how do these three people feel pretending to be in an evil world? It's over if you don't get worshipped in the Ursa major? A real Buddha or a real bodhisattva has never been like this. So, I think the three of them are really upset! Instead of entrusting them with the idea of wood carving, it is better to be possessed by people with lofty ideals and practice Buddhism with their lives! Excerpt 3: From Wang Anshi's dream, we can see the realm of Hua Yan's "return". People who are "dying" Wang Anshi's "Dream" poem: knowing the world is like a dream, asking for nothing, and having nothing in mind. Just like chasing a dream in a dream, it has achieved the merits of a river and sand dream. What a high realm this is! What a beautiful "backward" state! Wang believes that life is like a dream, with nothing to ask for. He pursues nothing and has peace of mind. However, in one dream after another, he left countless merits for the world. This realm is the realm of profound understanding of Buddhism. Such wise men, benevolent people and brave people who joined the WTO after their husbands are all "dying". When people reach this temperature, they are buddhas and bodhisattvas. And this heat finally became one of the homes by killing a person's body, that is to say, it was this dream that came true, and the body was not fake. Most Buddhists know Buddhist scriptures, but they are all wrong. The spirit of Buddhism is to turn yourself into falsehood first. After the falsehood, there is nothing lovely and regrettable, and then come back and turn the falsehood into reality. This is the positive solution. Joining the WTO after birth is to return to the world of mortals after "seeing through the world of mortals". At this time, people in this realm really have a body in their eyes and no body in their hearts. He tried to save the world, but he didn't care about gains or losses. He advanced and retreated slowly and calmly. This is the real Buddha, the real bodhisattva. Attach a story about Buddhism. Once dharma entered the meditation room and watched the monk meditate. He asked, "What are you doing?" A monk said, "We are meditating and becoming a Buddha". So dharma took a tile and kept grinding it on the ground. A monk asked, "Why are you grinding tiles?" Dharma replied, "I am grinding tiles into mirrors." The monk smiled and said, "How can you make a mirror by grinding tiles?" Dharma replied: "grinding tiles can't make a mirror. How can meditation become a Buddha?" ! "Buddhism categorically denies the' meditation' method, because the minor method is hard to see! So he said: what you can't see, what you can't hear, and what you know is the truth! Jue said: I am a native of this land. I preach and dispel doubts. When a flower blooms with five leaves, the result is natural! ? Why is meditation practice a secondary method? Great wisdom must come from life and cannot be separated from it. In other words, the spirit comes from and is restricted by matter. I feel that the so-called practice of many people is often divorced from life. If you don't sum up and reflect on your past life experiences, you will separate yourself from the outside world. It is "how to become a mirror by grinding tiles and how to become a Buddha by meditation". Father Dharma said, "What you can't see, what you can't hear, what you know and don't know". This is what we often call "knowing the society". Only by understanding the profound and complicated society can we know ourselves better. It is to "face the bleak life and face the dripping blood." Just because you can't see it now doesn't mean he doesn't exist. It is the subjective "I" who wants to combine the objective "invisible things". If one doesn't understand the sufferings of all beings, there will be no so-called "great compassion", "great wish", "great wisdom" and "great merit". The suffering of all beings lies in our understanding of the sufferings of farmers, the grievances of workers and the joys and sorrows of working people living at the bottom in social practice. Of course, in the observation of daily life, it is more important to consider the feelings of various people at the bottom. In order to save his mother, the Bodhisattva went to hell. It was in hell that she saw the suffering of all beings, which inspired her to make a big wish that "hell is not empty, and she will never become a Buddha" and vowed that "all beings will be exhausted before they can prove Bodhi". Most of us study Buddhism, and we only know what the Buddha says, but we don't know much about the Buddha's heart. The Buddhas are deeply aware of all kinds of sufferings in the world and gain great wisdom. " The Diamond Sutra refers to "cultivating the mind", and the word "goodness" is understood differently by everyone. The stronger a person's personal feelings about "evil", the more he will cherish and appreciate the importance of "goodness" and protect it with "heart". Only by constantly doing more and more extensive good deeds can we enhance our feeling of "evil". So many times, I think it is the so-called "practice." It is also a process of making up one's mind. The problem is that it is easy for us to do small acts of kindness, but it is not easy to continue doing small acts of kindness. It is more difficult to open your mind to the complex society and do good, and it is even more difficult to continue to do small things for the sake of good. Great goodness necessarily means punishing evil, which may be small evil or great evil; It may be obvious evil or hidden evil. The process of punishing evil needs both rigidity and softness, which is neither pure violence nor pure education. Many good ideas in the world are talked about by many people, but few people practice them. Without practice, it is impossible to get its true meaning. Many people only care about how to become a Buddha, which often adds to their troubles. The Buddha is not in the Buddhist temple, so I no longer imagine it. Buddha is in life, in action, in the sacrifice of salvation. Even if it is such a small thing as helping others, we should try our best to make him the best. In this process, there is naturally prajna wisdom.
