A smile can be smiled, and boundless joy can be formed. 13 All things are achieved through patience. It is better to be patient than to be able to argue. 14 As a human being, you should be like a candle. In your limited life, you can emit some heat and some light, giving people light and warmth. 15 Be kind to others when you are successful, because you will need them when you are down. 16 The hope of tomorrow makes us forget the pain of today. 17 Experience is extracted from pain. 18 Love creates a gap in intelligence. 19 Changing oneself is to save oneself, influencing others is to save others. Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. It’s fate that someone cares about you, and it’s fate that no one cares about you. That is to say, everyone in the human world has many people who care about him, so this person is destined, then everyone ignores him, he also has fate, but it is an inverse fate. Therefore, don’t always complain that your talents are not appreciated, you are wronged, and it is hard to find a close friend. Why not think about it for yourself, do you have the great compassion of the same body? You have to think carefully about everything Master tells you. People who are always compassionate will not have many complaints and will find good causes along the way. What is the Great Compassion of the Same Body? It hurts me when someone hurts me. In modern terms, it means thinking from someone else’s perspective. Therefore, knowing people's suffering will lead to enlightenment. This is what Master said. Only when you know that others are suffering can you become enlightened yourself. When you see your mother getting cancer, you will think about why she got cancer. That is because she did not learn Buddhism and ate a lot of live seafood in the past, so there was no Bodhisattva to protect her. ah. Because people are most likely to lose themselves when everything is going well.
When things go well emotionally, career goes well, and everything goes well for you, people begin to get confused. In modern terms, people cannot be carried away by success. Master tells you that we should not always think that we are right in everything. If we do this for a long time, we will kill ourselves. Therefore, we must learn to take refuge in our own nature. After that, we must have awareness, our heart must be upright, and our nature must be pure. Then you can't be obsessed with evil. What does that mean? Evil thoughts and confusing thoughts will not stay in your heart, nor will they arise, so you must be righteous. As human beings, we should have fewer desires and be content. People with fewer desires are more contented. I am very content. I have a mouthful of food today, and I am grateful. I have a place to sleep today, and I am grateful. This human world allows me to study Buddhism, and allows me to directly enter the Four Noble Paths or the Western Bliss from this human world. World, then I have to be grateful. Everything is in gratitude. Only in gratitude can you convert yourself. Therefore, if you are content with few desires and can stay away from wealth and lust, your mind will be able to take refuge in righteousness, and your thoughts will be free from wrong views. What is the surrender of the mind? It is your mind that generates righteous thoughts. After your mind has righteous thoughts, every thought you have will have no wrong views and will not be misunderstood. Therefore, it is because of no wrong views. Everything in your mind is righteous, so you have no wrong views. This is why you have no wrong knowledge and no wrong views. Don't be selfish, have high achievements, be greedy and persistent. Many people think they are good, have done a lot of merit, think they are great, and often complain about how others are not doing well. This is the beginning of their own greed and attachment. Therefore, those who truly learn Buddhism must know how to liberate themselves. We must know how to save all sentient beings. If you think about it openly, when we endure hardships in this world, we are actually taking supplements. What supplements are there? Make up for the karma caused by your past actions and make up for this loophole. To endure hardship is to take nourishment. Although you have endured hardship, you have gained it. Achieving bodhicitta means transforming a pure heart into pure faith. Your heart must first be pure, and then your faith will come out. Faith is very important. Master asks you to first have a pure heart and then transform it into pure faith. There is a sentence in the "Heart Sutra", "Because there is nothing to gain. Bodhisattva." Think about it, everyone, this sentence is very important in Buddhism. "To gain nothing" means to realize that there is nothing to gain, that is, you realize There is nothing in this world, which is called "enlightenment of nothing". Everything in this world is unobtainable, which is called "no gain". Only when you have no gain can you put an end to worries and become non-attached. Therefore, if a person can get nothing, he will feel that this world is a world where nothing can be gained, and he will have no worries. If you have nothing to gain, you have nothing to live in. If you don’t get it, where do you have the heart to live, and where can you live? You have not obtained these things, you do not have these things in your heart, so how can these things remain and stay in your heart? Having nothing to gain means having nothing to live in. The Dharma taught in the human world is called indifference. It’s gone, it doesn’t matter anymore. It’s not nothing. In fact, you have really seen through it. You feel that you have nothing. If you don’t have nothing, you have gained it. You have gained it again. If you are empty, you have gained it, because what you have gained is emptiness, emptiness. Only then can wisdom be produced, and only by emptiness can wisdom be stored. If there are too many distracting thoughts, how can wisdom last forever? Everyone must understand that "because of nothing", taking nothing as the root of cultivating the mind, you must understand everything in the world as non-existent, and you should not get things that you can't get in the first place. This is what you want. The root of learning Buddhism is not being greedy. Everything is empty. If you think about it clearly, all the matter in this world comes and goes empty. The two most important points in Buddhism are called Madhyamaka and consciousness-only. Consciousness only is consciousness alone. Let me first tell you about Madhyamaka. The Middle Way is to look at everything within it. The Middle Way is within, not outside. That is to say, when we cultivate our mind, we should not focus on the appearance, nor should we focus on the inside. Not outside, not inside, then where is it? Isn’t that right in the middle? If you look at an issue and do not regard it as left or right, then you will view the issue neutrally. Both parties in a quarrel will tell you that the other party is not good. If you do not say that this is good, you will not Well, if you say that, you stand in the middle, this is called the Middle Way.
Because it is not common, you can have a clear view. We don't often encounter those troublesome things, and we often don't come into contact with those dirty and trivial things in the world of mortals. Then you can have a clear view. What does this mean? Many people like to say, "Tell me what he said?" He begins to see it. To cut off one's views is to cut off all one's seeing, hearing and knowing. Only when they are gone, can you be neutral and only then can you meditate. If you see something and say you haven't seen it, that's called cutting off your views. Many people who have cultivated well will say when they meet others, "He said something about you." "Oh, I didn't hear that." They will stop their own foolish opinions. Therefore, in common and unconventional views, it is called Madhyamaka. I often see many things without taking them to heart at all. It seems that I don’t see anything. One left and one right. In the end, you see it but don’t see it, you don’t see it but you seem to see it. In fact, when many people answer the question, “You Did you see it?” “No,” in fact, he saw it. Many people say, "Have you seen it?" They have seen it, but they say they have not seen it. Isn't this the Madhyamaka? I saw it, but I thought I didn't see it. I didn't think it was reality, but an illusion. That's why I started with the middle view. In the words of modern Buddhists, it is materialist dialectics. The second important point in Buddhism is consciousness, which is the outside world, the external world, and the outer world. Your body feels cold, right? You open the door and go out, and a cool breeze blows towards your body. At that time, your consciousness-only begins, because this is the consciousness that is directly felt by your appearance and your heart. Then this consciousness is called consciousness-only, and it is the only consciousness. One realization: I feel really cold. If he is not a consciousness-only person, no matter what others say, he will not believe what others say in his consciousness. Why does Master want you to learn these things? Do you know why we need to know these things? In fact, this is a classic for studying Buddhism. Otherwise, you won’t be able to save people. You don’t know what they are thinking in their consciousness. No matter how much you talk to them, give them a book or a CD to read. It is his original consciousness that cannot save him at all, so you must understand these consciousnesses. The heart is the heart, and there are two types of heart: the outer heart and the inner heart. On the surface, how is my heart? In fact, there are many kinds of hearts. The feelings of the outer heart are like this heart is the headquarters, but it is also There are many commanders. Who is the commander? They are the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. His heart relies on what he sees with his eyes, what he hears with his ears, what he smells with his nose, what he feels with his tongue, what his body feels, and what his mind can understand to move your heart. They are the changes in your heart. basis and conditions. Why do some people's hearts change? Because he heard people talk too much. Is it because of his ears? Because people told him: Come over quickly and take a look, that's what happened. He looked at it and believed it. He changed his consciousness, so his heart began to change, and his consciousness began to change, so it is called external heart.
