When we are no longer obsessed with the pictures on the screen, we will understand that every flower and every grass is full of Dharmakaya, and every gesture is prajna.

10. Anfuji 04 An Fulisheng--: "Life is the turning point of practice": In our lives, only when we can be a qualified person can we talk about how to practice hard, because human nature It is the turning point of the Six Paths and even the Ten Dharma Realms, but whether it turns upward or downward depends on one's efforts!

15. Anfuji 04 Anfusheng - "Buddhism": The Buddha is in the heart, and a pure heart is the most important thing in dealing with things; teaching is in words, and caution in speaking is the first thing when dealing with the world. The heart should be straight, without form or action; the words should be soft, with sound and color. To learn Buddhism, you must first purify your mind. If your mind is extremely pure, you will have no thoughts, no worries, no worries and no fear. To learn Buddhism, you must first be proficient in words. If the words are clear, you will have feelings and meanings, talk and laugh. The heart and mouth correspond, the appearance and the inside are the same, it is incredible, this is Buddhism.

16. Anfuji 04 Anfusheng--: "The Call of Beauty": There are many beautiful things in the world, and the existence of each thing also reveals or implies a beauty, and continues to Develop along a beautiful path. Our life is also a beautiful thing. Both what has been expressed and what has not yet been expressed can be even better. The meaning of life is that it is always calling us to be better!

17. Anfuji 04 Anfusheng--: "On the Road": On the road...the broad road goes forward, and the bumpy road goes forward. It doesn’t stop when there are piles of garbage, and it doesn’t stop when it’s beautiful and picturesque. The poor and the sick also shake hands, and the dignitaries also shake hands. Being shrouded in smog is not the beginning, nor is the clear sky being clear. You should raise your head when you are in a good mood, and you should raise your head when you are in a bad mood. You need to keep your steps steady when you cry, and you need to keep your steps steady when you laugh. Smile even when you succeed and smile even when you fail. On the road...that's life!

18. Recite precepts. "Precepts" are manifested as "rules" in daily life. Without rules, there is no rule.

19. Anfu Temple 04 An Fulisheng--: Zen Enlightenment 1. The highest state of perceptuality is compassion, and the highest state of rationality is wisdom. When the two go hand in hand, the Dharma can be achieved. 2. Ordinary people see right and wrong, and Bodhisattvas see cause and effect. 3. What is happiness? Happiness is altruism; what is happiness? Happiness is compassion; what is dignity? Nobility is respect; what is wealth? Wealth is the heart of giving; what is liberation? Liberation is the heart of forgiveness.

20. Anfu Temple 04 Anfusheng--: "Lengyan Sutra" says that troubles are all guests, causing guest troubles. As long as you like to keep this "troubling guest" in your home, the trouble will be longer; if you don't keep it, it will go away on its own. All the troubles in life are in your home because you are willing to keep them. If you are not willing to keep them, they will leave immediately.

21. Anfuji 04 Anfusheng--: "Happy Care": Enlightening the heart is true happiness! Only caring with your heart is considered caring, happiness is the path to liberation, and caring is the path to Bodhisattva. Only these two paths are the way out of life. Others are dead ends. Scholars must not know this!

22. Anfu Temple 04 Anfu Sheng--: The present thought is the place where we live and work. Always pay close attention to the place where there is no thought and no birth, and know it with awe. Why are there mood swings? Why care about right and wrong? How can there be any distinction between good and evil? Only this word "knowledge" is the door to all the wonderful things. Grit your teeth here and keep it tight. Over time, you will be able to shatter the void and fully understand the original nature. The rest is just gossip and gossip, which will be of no use in a lifetime.

23. Anfuji 04 Anfusheng--: People are often influenced by the outside world and their own hearts, and they often lose their temper, but it is very painful for them to do so. What should they do? First, when we realize our mistakes and do not want to continue this wrong thought, it means that our practice has progressed and the power of mindfulness has arisen. I may have made mistakes in the past without feeling that I was wrong.

Second, if you know you are wrong, but the power of habit cannot reverse it for a while, this is because you have insufficient concentration and insufficient power of righteous thoughts. On the one hand, you can strengthen the power of mindfulness by meditating in accordance with the law; on the other hand, you can sincerely take refuge in the Three Jewels and recite the name of Buddha and Bodhisattva sincerely with a repentant heart. In "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's Universal Door", Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said: If there are many greedy living beings, if they recite my name sincerely, they will be freed from greed; if there are many angry living beings, if they recite my name sincerely, they will be freed from anger... Yes Saying the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva is a regular lesson. Third, through studying the teachings, understand that all dharmas are caused by causes and conditions, open up wisdom through clear principles, and tame worries

24. Anfuji 04 Anfu Sheng-: "What is it": Some people Shouting slogans to fight for interests exposes the biggest human weakness in the heart, which is self-centered personality. In the end, one can only rely on external systems to enforce restraints, euphemistically called the rule of law. If even the slightest selfishness in the heart can be liberated, the selflessness of life and the pure and peaceful brilliance of compassion will naturally be exposed, so why should there be any external coercion? This is actually the cultural difference between the West and the East.

25. "True Practitioner" by An Fusheng of Anfu Temple 07: You can't be satisfied with less, you need to cultivate your skills. Occasionally, I will be happy and understand, and continue to listen and meditate on the true Dharma. If knowledge and action are united, great potential will be achieved. Only when you let things go will you be able to be willful and carefree.

26. As meditation deepens, the experience of the mind changes from coarse to fine, and the realm of the object becomes more and more subtle and subtle. However, the method remains the same, which is to keep the mind tied to one state. Make it more and more obedient, stable and well-behaved. This is a bit like the method of connecting broken bones. For example, if a patient breaks his leg, the doctor will first straighten and connect the bones, then add a support to the outside to fix the position of the broken bone, bandage it, and then put a plaster on it. Don't let this area move. After a while, when the bones have recovered a bit, remove one layer and move slowly to prevent the leg from losing function. When it feels better, remove another layer. Finally, after all the restraints are removed, exercise and break the leg. Not only does the bone grow well, but its function returns to its original state.

27. Anfuji 04 Anfusheng--: French nectar: ??True practice is to have no fear, no confusion, no gains and no losses. If there are no obstacles in my heart, such as losing face or fear, and I have no worries inside, then I will be fine. Sometimes you have to be able to see things through, face challenges, adversities and favorable circumstances, and just go with the flow without realizing it. Once the thought passes through, everything is reality. What the world says about it is tantamount to not saying it. It cannot be said, and it cannot be unsaid. It is created by nature. It can be explained to those who know it, but it is difficult to talk to ordinary people!

28. Good teachers always use various convenient means to test us. When we really have no distracting thoughts and extravagant hopes in our hearts, our ability to adapt to the environment will also be enhanced. From a certain perspective It is said that the power of life has also been improved to a certain extent. No matter how the good teacher arranges it, if you can firmly respect and obey it, and study hard sincerely, you will definitely receive good blessings and training! To the good friends, I sincerely salute and be endlessly grateful!

29. Anfuji 04 Anfusheng -: If you keep others' mistakes in your heart, you will use a magnifying glass to find faults everywhere and torture others again and again, which is not beneficial to yourself; if you keep kindness, tolerance and gratitude in your heart, Life will be full of sunshine, and all the bad things about others will disintegrate in your broad mind. Whether life is bitter or joyful, the key depends on what you like to be with; choosing what to put in your heart is a science.

30. Anfuji 04 Anfusheng--: The greatest sorrow in life is not being able to see oneself clearly, being self-centered, being too persistent, and being lost in self-prejudice. If you don't have the mentality of letting things happen and ask for everything to be done as you wish, then no environment will be able to satisfy you. Only by rectifying your body and mind, using wisdom to resolve obstacles in your heart, and getting rid of attachments, prejudices, and delusions, will all your troubles disappear. 50 Zen Sayings of Master Dazhao
