Retribution of evil lust 2024-02-25

1. Accumulate great blessings in a pure mind

The wealth of the rich is almost as rich as a country, and some people will be very surprised by this.Apologize，Feeling extremely incredible.In fact, celebrities and wealthy businessmen who are particularly blessed and envied by people in the world may not necessarily have created particularly great blessings in their previous lives.If he is lucky enough to encounter a particularly special field of blessings and has a pure heart, such a small blessing will also attract huge rewards.For example, the Wheel King we used to say that I, the Wheel King, used seven peas to offer sacrifices to the Buddha in the past life, thus becoming the Wheel King who ruled for less than 33 days.

If you feel rare about meager wealth and status, it means you are ignorant and have never seen a truly rich person; it also means you are too greedy for the present world and do not understand the law of cause and effect; or you just understand but do not really believe it.If you believe in cause and effect, you will not feel envious even if you see people with amazing wealth, unattainable status, and overwhelming power.Because I know that these are temporarycause。If it really arisesRenunciation，You will understand these worldly blessings without any stability and will disappear due to impermanence at any time, and you will not be overly attached.

Some people are puzzled why theyPracticeAfter so many years, you have become more and more attached to it and even doubted Buddhism? In fact, it is not because of your practice that you are attached, but because you do not follow the guidance of the Buddha, the guidance of a virtuous master, and the practice of listening, thinking and practicing according to the Dharma, conflicts and deviations arise.If you practice, your piousness will become weaker. At this time, it is not that Buddhism makes you lose your piousness, but that you are attached to worldly gains and losses, obsessed with the semantic study of texts, and have not applied Buddhism to your own heart.When you use your intelligence to increase Buddhist knowledge and immerse yourself in the field of Buddhism for a long time, Buddhism is just a science for you, not a wonderful method of cultivating the mind.In this way, faith in Buddhism will be faded and lost without realizing it, and in the end, even the devotion to the guru and the Three Jewels will be lost.Such a deviationLearn BuddhismThe method is that there is no effect of purifying karma, let alone trying to realize the true nature of the mind?

We Tibetans often use cowhide wrapped in butter to describe this kind of person.Because when the cowhide inhales too much ghee, it will become harder over time.Once we forget the Buddha's teachings, do not observe our body, speech and mind anytime, anywhere, and cannot regulate ourselves with Buddhism, we can easily become Buddhas who seem to understand the theory of Buddhism, but in fact they are far away from Buddhism.

2.BodhiHeart offering

Although the ability of ordinary people is very limited, the essence of the mind is empty and there is no power greater than that of the mind.If you can make good use of your heart, your limited resources can become infinite.Although there are millions of ways to accumulate unobstructed merit, they are all inseparable from Bodhicitta.The Buddha said that among the many ways to accumulate merit, the fastest and most extraordinary one is to develop bodhicitta and practice the Bodhisattva path; the most extraordinary offering is to offer it with bodhicitta.

It is undeniable that everyone has selfish intentions and wants to achieve Buddhahood.But as MahayanaBuddhist，If all efforts are just for oneself, it will contradict Bodhicitta.You should know that only considering one's own interests will have all kinds of harm but not all benefits; on the contrary, only thinking about how to benefit others will eventually make one's own achievements.Just like the pure karma and accumulation of resources that all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have done before they have achieved success are boundless for the sake of profit.All living beings，Without the slightest selfish desire to benefit oneself, we finally achieved the perfect Buddhahood.All living beings only consider their own interests, so they are still circulating in the cycle of reincarnation.

If someone wants to achieve success for their own benefit, this mentality alone is not considered a Mahayana Buddhist, let alone the five poisons continue to grow.troubleWithout knowing it.It's like putting poison in the medicine for curing diseases.Drinking this poisonous medicine will not do us any benefit.

In fact, if you put the benefit of sentient beings first, all good fruits will naturally come in a steady stream, just like lighting a pot of fire in the cold room, which will naturally bring heat; it is like planting rice seedlings, and stems, leaves and rice will definitely grow in the future.Whether it is when offering sacrifices to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas above or giving gifts to sentient beings in the six realms, as long as you support them with the Bodhicitta, your blessings will soon mature.

Therefore, in the process of doing good, we must eradicate the pursuit of worldly and self-interest.At the same time, you should look at all manifestations in a dreamlike way, and do not be overly attached.When we put the interests of sentient beings first, we repent of our karma, offer our offerings to Mandala, and practice our practiceSix degreesWait, we are gradually abandoning our ego. One day, we will naturally realize emptiness and will eventually become Buddhas.
