May mercy and compassion touch my heart, and light will be like music.
The most extensive theory of bodhi Taoism
What is the best way to help all beings?
The merciful Buddha thought and observed deeply in many of his lives and found that only bodhicitta is the most beneficial to all sentient beings. With it, infinite beings can easily achieve the fruits of supreme perfection and equality.
As we all know, Buddha is the most merciful to all beings. No matter in the land of karma and karma, what the Buddha thinks in his heart is to benefit all beings. We can also learn this from the book "The Legend of the Buddha". In every case, whether it is giving body or doing other things, the Buddha's only purpose is to benefit all sentient beings, which is his ultimate goal and wish.
In many hardships, the Buddha has been thinking repeatedly about the best way to help all beings in order to benefit them. Finally, he found that bodhicitta has considerable benefits for all beings, and there is no other good way to compare with bodhicitta's benefits.
Buddha is the only teacher.
From the perspective of famous sayings, who is the thinker? The Buddha who fully sees the reality of all laws and tells the truth is not what we usually think, "This man is very good, reliable and trustworthy, so what he said is right". No matter how good or great a person is, sometimes he will talk nonsense, but Buddha will not, just as Sakyamuni is the only judge in Sakyamuni's theory. How long is it? Not for a day or two, but for a lifetime.
Some scientists have racked their brains for years and decades to invent a product, and they think it is great, but the Buddha has been thinking about it, not for years or decades, nor for hundreds or thousands of years. What did you finally find?
Because of ignorance, all beings are trapped in reincarnation, which is very pitiful. Only bodhicitta can completely save them from the suffering, suffering and suffering of reincarnation and obtain eternal happiness.
The former monk Dade said, "If you want to repay the Buddha, you must predict how the Buddha will treat us." How to treat it? Benefit all beings by bodhicitta. When Guru Rinpoche saw Maipeng Rinpoche in a bright dream, he said, "The only way I can repay you is to make a vow to benefit the public."
Healthy. "
"On the Solemnity of the Middle View" also says that all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have no other job except to benefit all beings. In what ways do they benefit all beings? It's bodhicitta.
Therefore, after in-depth thinking and repeated observation, relying on wisdom, the Buddha found that only bodhicitta is the most beneficial to all beings, and all beings can successfully obtain Buddha's fruit according to this bodhicitta.
To achieve Buddha's fruit, one must have bodhicitta.
From ancient times to the present, from the beginning of Sakyamuni's Buddhism to the present, for more than 2,500 years, how many people, whether they are studying Buddhism, tantric, or practitioners of Han, Tibetan and Southern Buddhism, have achieved supreme perfection and equal consciousness by relying on bodhisattvas? It can be said that there are countless.
So, is there anyone who can succeed without relying on bodhicitta? Absolutely not. Some people may ask, "Didn't you use bodhicitta in your previous life?" Impossible, without the continuous bodhicitta, there would be no one who really died. It is also said in Pure Land Teaching that all bodhi resources (including bodhi mind) have been completed before the death of the beneficiary.
With bodhicitta, the Buddha's fruit will be very smooth, unlike the heretics who have to go through all kinds of asceticism, such as pulling out their hair, jumping on the kang, bathing in the Ganges, and setting themselves on fire. Some people may ask, "aren't there many cases in the Buddhist scriptures that obtain Buddha's fruit by asceticism?"
Sakyamuni Buddha experienced six years of asceticism, and many eminent monks and great virtues also experienced many asceticism in the process of studying. Isn't this asceticism? "Of course, it is asceticism, but Buddhist asceticism and heresy are very different.
The asceticism of heretics will indeed cause unbearable physical and mental pain, while the asceticism of Buddhism, such as the bodhisattva giving up the hands and feet of his master to others more than once, is because the bodhisattva's altruism is particularly strong and has reached the supreme realm, so even if she cuts meat, she will not feel any pain like mowing grass.
The same is true of the asceticism of learning Buddhism. Some people think it's hard to become a monk. Where is the asceticism? In fact, for people who have confidence in Buddhism and have a strong interest in all beings, the asceticism of becoming a monk is nothing compared with the pain of family life.
Since ancient times, monks and great virtues have lived a carefree life in the mountains. On the surface, they seem to have a hard life, but in fact, their inner happiness is unparalleled. I really don't know who is suffering compared with those people who live in luxury houses and live a luxurious life in the world. !
Bodhicitta is really the only panacea.
Bodhicitta is really the only panacea. Now some medical scientists and nutritionists think that "I invented a product that is very beneficial to health and psychology", but in fact it may have great side effects. Even if it is really beneficial, can you guarantee good health all your life? And these drugs are about to expire. Will Bodhisattva expire? Definitely not.
Some nutritional health care products may be effective for some people, and the effect is very good after eating them, so they help to advertise on TV and say how good this product is. Others think that after buying and eating, they should have lost weight, but they have become fat.
But bodhicitta is not like this. As long as the karma is mature, for Mahayana people, bodhicitta will certainly have tangible benefits for themselves. So we should remember that bodhicitta is the essence of Buddhism and the crystallization of Buddha's wisdom.
After deeply thinking about the three great monks' robberies and observing the convenience of all beings, all Buddhas found that this bodhicitta is the most beneficial to all beings, because with this bodhicitta, all beings can easily achieve the fruits of supreme bodhicitta or win happiness. 〗
