All beings who are kind in their hearts are Bodhisattvas

Always practice compassion and remove resentment and thoughts;Great compassion brings feelings to all living beings, and sorrow and pity turn into tears.

Buddhism is based on compassion. The so-called compassion means caring for sentient beings and having a heart that gives sentient beings happiness;If you compassionately feel like living beings and have the heart to remove the pain of living beings, you will be compassionate.Guanyin Bodhisattva has both a broad heart of love and extraordinary compassion, so his reputation is called "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva" who is great compassionate and merciful to save suffering and suffering.

In fact, Buddha is not that mysterious. Zen Master Danxia once passed by Huilin Temple in Luoyang. It was the harsh winter season, and it was cold and winter.So he carried down the wooden Buddha statue in Huilin Temple and burned the fire to keep warm.

When the abbot of the temple saw it, he was furious and said: How dare you burn the Buddha statue!

Zen Master Danxia replied calmly: Oh, I want to burn the Buddha statue out of relics!

The abbot asked in surprise: Can a wooden Buddha statue burn out relics?

Zen Master Danxia said: Since you can’t burn out the relics, it’s wood, not Buddha, even if it’s done.

Later, Zen Master Danxia was safe and sound, but the abbot lost two eyebrows due to his heart fire.

All sentient beings are suffering, but only by keeping one's own heart with great compassion and kindness can one have happiness in suffering.If you have good thoughts in your heart, you can be called a Buddha.

There was a man who worshipped the Buddha infinitely, ate vegetarian food, recited scriptures, and burned a lot of incense, and wanted to see what a living Buddha looked like.

So he prepared the travel expenses, brought enough dry food, and prepared to go to the famous ancient temples to find the living Buddha.After climbing thousands of mountains and wading through thousands of water, he finally arrived at a famous temple at that time.The abbot of the temple received him.He told the abbot about his hard work and begged the abbot to let him see the living Buddha.

The abbot said: Go home, Buddha is already in your home.The one who is undulating his shoes and his hair is spread out and he opens the door for you is the Living Buddha.

One morning, he returned home and knocked on the door, and was eagerly waiting for the appearance of the living Buddha.

The door opened, and it was his wife who opened the door for him with his shoes and his hair loose.After knowing that it was him knocking on the door, his wife had no time to put on her shoes and comb her hair, so she hurriedly opened the door for him.

He suddenly realized that the Living Buddha was all the kind mortals around us.All the mortals who have given us care and help.

As long as you do things in a straightforward manner, you will practice Buddhism.The wooden Buddha statue cannot burn out relics, it is absolutely true.As the saying goes, the mud Buddha does not cross the water, the gold Buddha does not cross the furnace, the wood Buddha does not cross the fire, and the true Buddha sits inside.After all, the conditions that determine our own value are not the external things we obtain, but our own mind and behavior.Because the true Buddha is in the heart of a person.

Buddha nature has always been in our hearts, but we don’t know how to value it.It is the root of human life and the ship of human soul. It carries our hearts across the world, but keeps the depths of our hearts as intact.
