Many people misunderstand that learning Buddhism means being a vegetarian or not pursuing fame and fortune. They just make themselves very monk and vulgar, and the whole person looks strange. In fact, the life of a monk is completely different from that of his family. Monks must abide by at least 270 commandments, and families living in the world of five desires have their due responsibilities and obligations. The Buddha never denied the happiness he enjoyed in his family, but told us that these happiness were fickle in nature and not worthy of infatuation. But he also knows that in his family, it is impossible to give up these comforts at once, so he teaches us to take the right path (that is, a gentleman loves money and takes it wisely), and not to do whatever it takes to satisfy his selfish desires, because we are psychologically prepared for the harm we have caused others, and even if we can't calculate the account in this life, we will one day return it to ourselves with interest.

What the Buddha condemns most is whether the bad monk is a hypocrite. In other words, as a family, it is not a sin to enjoy wealth, love, affection, fame and other happiness, and it does not conflict with practice. As long as it is based on the premise of "caring for your own heart", you can still go to the road of liberation and taste the cool taste of the law.

This is what I heard:

Once, the Buddha took many big monks to Casaro in ancient India and lived in a village in that country. There is a family in the village who believes in Brahmanism. His name is Canudoro. He heard that the Buddha seldom came here and admired his holy name for a long time, so he went to the Buddha's residence and asked some questions.

When he saw the Buddha, he bowed respectfully to him and sat down. He asked, "Gotama! I am a family member and an ordinary person. I have worldly desires, a wife and children. I live in a bustling city, wearing fine clothes and enjoying delicious food. I hope to keep all this, but I also hope to learn enough from you to practice, so that I can live in the afterlife after death. I wonder if this will conflict with your teaching? 」

The Buddha said, "Lay people, there is actually no conflict. In my teaching methods, there are some ways to help you enjoy the happiness in the world and improve your mind at the same time. 」

Quinudoro was very excited when he heard the Buddha say this. He asked the Buddha to explain what to do for him.

The Buddha said, "Buddhists, I will now explain to you ways to help you practice.". Please listen carefully and remember. 」

"Thank you," said Cunudoro. "I will listen to your explanation carefully. 」

Buddha said: "As a family member, we must cultivate empathy and keep the following thoughts at all times, so as to give consideration to the happiness and practice in the world. At home, he should think like this: "I clearly know that if someone tries to kill me, I will be unhappy and I will be afraid." If I don't like it, others won't like it, so how can I kill other people's lives? 』

When he is so right in thought, he will sincerely accept not to kill, and he is unwilling to kill in his heart.

Ditto, "If I don't like people stealing my property, of course others don't like it. How can I steal other people's property? " ? So I'd rather not steal, not steal. 』

Just like the above truth, "I don't like others to seduce, harass, violate and rape my wife and daughter (or husband), and of course others don't like being treated like this. How can I seduce, harass, violate and rape other people's wives and daughters (husbands) now? Therefore, I am willing to accept the precepts of abstinence. 』

As mentioned above, "I don't like being cheated by others, and so must others." How can I lie to others? Therefore, I am willing to accept the commandment of not telling lies. 』

As mentioned above, "I don't like others to sow discord between me and my relatives and friends, and others must feel the same way." How can I sow discord between others and their relatives and friends today? So I can't do anything to sow discord. 』

As mentioned above, "I don't like others to scold me, and others must do the same." How can I insult others? So I shouldn't speak ill of others. 』

As mentioned above, "I don't like others to say insincere or meaningless dirty words to me, and others must do the same." How can I speak English with others? So I shouldn't say those insincere sweet words or useless swear words to others. 』

These are seven ways to help you practice. Let's call it the Seven Commandments. If this family can have a correct understanding and firm belief in Buddha, Buddha and monk, then this family will prove that he is not bad. He can decide his future destiny and say to himself, "I will never fall into hell, animals and hungry ghosts again. All the evil benefits have disappeared, and I have achieved the first fruit." 』」

After listening to the Buddha's explanation, Queenidoro was extremely happy. He said to the Buddha, "It's really rare! Buddha! From now on, I would like to convert to Buddhism, to your teaching method, to all the monks, and to be a standard Buddhist disciple at home all my life until the end of my life. 」

Original text:

If I smell it, At that time, the Buddha and the big monk marched in the country of Azzaro and entered the Brahman village of Saro, named Que Newdoro. The Brahmin monk of Kut Niudoro heard: "Gotama, the son of a monk, became a monk from Sakura and marched with other monks to Kut Niudoro. Another venerable Gotama praised this as a good name, saying, "The venerable is a filial, upright, well-behaved and good at dying, a secular solution, a supreme teacher, a master of heaven and man, a Buddha and a venerable. "He is in heaven, magic, brahmins, shamans, brahmins, and all the people. He said he had proved himself, proved himself. He said that he was good at the beginning, good at the middle, and good at the end. He had sufficient methods to show righteousness and reason, showing a pure Brahma. Very good! I have to see such a confession. At that time, Peter Newdoro's wife Luo Jushi came to the Buddha's residence. To myself, to salute the Buddha, there are people sitting on one side, people talking with the Buddha to celebrate comfort, joy and inscription, people sitting on one side with their hands folded, people saying their names in front of the Buddha, people sitting on one side, or people sitting silently. Bai Shizun, a New Zealand Brahmin Buddhist, said, "Respect Gotama! We are like our desires, ambitions and interests. We said: We were born in troubled times with many children and grandchildren, got a shroud and sandalwood, enjoyed luxury, fragrance and fragrance, enjoyed gold and silver, and died after death, and were born in a world with good interests. Gotama! Please show me the law, who is as interested as I am, so that we can get a shroud called sandalwood, hold gorgeous incense, paint incense, enjoy gold and silver, and live a good life after death. " "Lay people and so on! I'll tell you the way to be self-interested. Pay attention. When I do something good, I will say it. " "passive! Dade! "Morning glory brahmin lay has promised the Buddha. Buddha said, "Lay people, etc. "What is egoism? Lay people, etc! Here, the holy disciple should think like this: "I want to live, I don't want to die, I want to be happy, and I hate pain." "I want to live, I don't want to die, I want to be happy, and I hate pain. If someone takes my life, it is unlovable and incomprehensible to me. He also wants to live, not to die, but to be happy and tired of suffering. If I take away his life, I will become unlovable and incomprehensible. What is unlovable and incomprehensible to me is also unlovable and incomprehensible to him. For me, it's unlovable and incomprehensible. What can I do with him? " If so, then avoid killing, and persuade him to avoid killing, praise from killing. If you are a marginal layman, wait! Once again, the holy disciple thought, "those who steal when I don't cooperate with them are unlovable and incomprehensible to me." If I steal from him because I don't like what he does, then I'm not cute and meaningless. What is unlovable and incomprehensible to me is also unlovable and incomprehensible to him. What will make me unlovable and incomprehensible? What can I do with him? " Think about the choice, leave without taking it, persuade him to leave without taking it, and admire him for not taking it. If so, the edge of the body is clean. Lay people, etc! The holy disciple thought, "If someone has sex with my wife, it will be unlovable and incomprehensible to me. If I have sex with his wife, I'm not cute or likable. What is unlovable and incomprehensible to me is also unlovable and incomprehensible to him. What will make me unlovable and incomprehensible? What can I do with him? " If you think about it, you will get rid of the desire to do evil, persuade him to get rid of the desire to do evil, and praise him for getting rid of the desire to do evil. If so, the edge of the body is clean. Lay people, etc! The holy disciple thought again, "if someone harms my interests with false words, it is unlovable and incomprehensible to me." If I use false words to harm his interests, then I am unlovable and incomprehensible. What is unlovable and incomprehensible to me is also unlovable and incomprehensible to him. What will make me unlovable and incomprehensible? What can I do with him? " After thinking about it, I left the empty talk, advised him to leave the empty talk, and admired the empty talk. If so, the margin of words and deeds is clean. Lay people, etc! Once again, the holy disciple thought, "If someone alienates my friends by alienating me, it will be unlovable and incomprehensible to me. If I alienate his friends by alienating him, then I am unlovable and incomprehensible. What is unlovable and incomprehensible to me is also unlovable and incomprehensible to him. What will make me unlovable and incomprehensible? What can I do with him? " If you think about it, you will alienate yourself, persuade him to alienate himself, and admire alienation. If so, the margin of words and deeds is clean. Lay people, etc! The holy disciple thought, "If someone speaks ill of me, it will be unlovable and incomprehensible to me. If I speak ill of him, I think it is unlovable and incomprehensible. What is unlovable and incomprehensible to me is also unlovable and incomprehensible to him. What will make me unlovable and incomprehensible? What can I do with him? " Leave when you think about it, persuade him to leave, and praise him. If so, the margin of words and deeds is clean. Lay people, etc! The holy disciple thought again, "If someone swears at me, it will be unlovable and incomprehensible to me. If I scold him, I feel unlovable and incomprehensible. What is unlovable and incomprehensible to me is also unlovable and incomprehensible to him. What will make me unlovable and incomprehensible? What can I do with him? " If you think about it, leave foul language, persuade him to leave foul language, admire you. If so, the margin of words and deeds is clean. At that time, the Buddha's achievements proved to be pure, saying: "His buddhas are righteousness, righteousness, conduct, good death, earthly understanding, supreme master, harmony between man and nature, Buddha and Buddha." "The achievement of Buddhism proves purity, saying:" The Buddha's Buddhism is to be good, to see the present, to come at the right time, to see the guidance, and the wise should know it. After achieving his goal, the monk said, "The voice of the Buddha is a wonderful walker, the voice of the Buddha is a straight walker, the voice of the Buddha is a reasonable walker, and the voice of the Buddha is a respectful walker. This is called four pairs of eight generations. The voice of the Buddha, people should please, please, support, and cross their hands. There is no greater blessing in the world. " If you are happy with saints, don't break, don't wear, don't be miscellaneous, don't be clean, be detached, be praised by the wise, and don't take it, you will get the samadhi commandment. Lay people, etc! According to these four wishes, if he wants to be in the right place, he will remember his differences, and he will come to the following conclusion: "Hell is exhausted, all animals are exhausted, hungry ghosts are exhausted, evil beings are exhausted, and when they are in the right place, they will become the first stream, enter the dharma, settle down and benefit." ""If you say it. Bai Shizun, a New Zealand brahmin, said, "What a rarity!
