Liu Suyun talks about the "Amitabha Sutra" again, Episode 51
Dear fellow practitioners: Hello everyone!Amitabha!
Today, we begin to study the 33rd verse, the title of this verse is:
【Advice to the 33rd
Starting from this passage of scripture, the Buddha explained to us the situation in the Saha world.Before this, I will tell us the situation of the Pure Land.
The Buddha tells us that the sentient beings in the Saha world have deep karma and habits, the three poisons are strong, and they are in the six realms, and they are suffering from it.Let us explain the truth clearly and clearly.In addition, in this chapter of the scripture, the Buddha also encouraged and told us to be disgusted with suffering, stop evil and cultivate good, and encouraged us to practice diligently and seek rebirth in the Pure Land.
Fellow practitioners can think about it this way. Apart from the Buddha, who can explain our current situation clearly and clearly three thousand years ago?Only Buddha.As a result, our infinite admiration for the Buddha will arise naturally, and we will sincerely praise the Buddha's great and unparalleled wisdom.
This passage of scripture is very important. It talks about the situation in our Saha world, which is the actual situation of our current life. I hope that fellow practitioners can study it carefully.
Please read the scriptures:
【The world is not urgent to fight for.In this dramatic and extremely bitterness.Diligent in business.To support yourself.Highness and inferiority.Rich and poor.A little longer.men and women.Crazy thoughts and accumulate thoughts.For the heart, I will be in charge.】
There is a sentence in this passage to help you with self-sufficiency. That word is a polyphonic word, and you will send it to ( jǐ）sound.What does giving mean?It means supplement.For example, we often say that self-sufficient, for example, the army needs to supplement supplies, maybe we usually read it as ( gěi） It's wrong, and you have to read it ( jǐ）。
If we explain this passage in vernacular, what does it mean?
People in the world (that is, we) are driven by their false minds and are fighting to do irrelevant things, but they are indifferent to the issue of life and death leaving the three realms.Therefore, in this extremely bitter world, they work hard to manage and create, and are busy every day.Why?It's nothing more than to satisfy one's own desires.Whether it is the superiors, the rich and the poor, the young, the young, the men and women, people from all walks of life are driven by their delusions and try every means to plan and work hard every day.Their thoughts and all their actions are mostly harmful to others and for their own benefit.
This passage of scripture is a general statement.In short, it means that people in the world cannot recognize themselves and the environment they live in due to their confusion, and are confused and confused.Often, we ignore what we should do, and do what we should not do.
At the beginning of this chapter, the Buddha told us the truth.If the Buddha does not tell the truth, we may continue to be confused and delusional, not distinguish between truth and falsehood, right and wrong, and not discern the evil.
So I just said that this passage of scripture is particularly important, and I hope that fellow practitioners will listen carefully.
Look at these words:
〔Extremely bitter] This extremely evil refers to the ten evil karma, and extreme bitter refers to the suffering retribution of the five turbidities and evil worlds.
〔Diligent business is one's own hard work, and business refers to business creation.
〔Comprehensive thoughts and accumulations] This complex thought is about missing the past, while contemplation is about worrying about the future.
〔To be a person who is sent by the false mind.
Let’s continue to look down, what is [no urgent matter]?Let’s see how Buddha answered us.
What is a no-urgency?Not rushing is an irrelevant thing, an irrelevant thing.
Modern people are busy competing for these irrelevant things.
Looking around us, there are mostly busy people now, and few casual people.It is precisely these unimportant things, but people in the world think they are very important and important things.What's going on?Fame, fortune, wealth, and five desires and six dusts are fighting desperately.Don’t you know what you are fighting for?Fighting for the six realms of reincarnation.
So we must know that reincarnation is created by ourselves, not given by others.You should know that if you can abandon these desires, your life will be more comfortable.
Nowadays, many people complain that they live so hard and so tiring, and have nothing to rely on.The Buddha tells us here that if you can give up these desires and greeds, you will not suffer, you will not be tired, and you will live a very comfortable life.
Look at this sentence:
〖In this drama, the most tragic 〗
〔Destroy evil means committing ten evil deeds, which are common confusion and attachment to ordinary people.What we do is these things, and it is the thing we should do the least. It is precisely because of our confusion and persistence that we are working hard to do such things.What do you create?The three evil deeds of killing, stealing and adultery;The sin of lying, slandering, frivolous speech, and abusive speech;Intent is to create greed, anger, and ignorance.
The ten evil phenomena are now common in this society and are becoming increasingly serious.Let’s take a look at our current life. Is it like what the Buddha said in the Three Thousand Years?This matter, the old master said, is very troublesome.Everyone uses any means to compete for fame and fortune. Whether it is won or not, it is very hard!They are all committing ten evil deeds.The suffering that cannot be obtained is still suffering.
In the extreme pain, people are restless and at a loss. Is it the reality of our lives today?You said how hard it would be to be like this!This is the common karma of all living beings in contemporary society.
The old master said, can the common karma be resolved?able!How to resolve it?The more people study Buddhism, the more people really work hard. The big disasters can turn into small disasters, and the small disasters can be eliminated.Who depends on this?It depends on the joint efforts of all of us.
What to rely on?Relying on this "Amitabha Sutra" and the name of Amitabha Buddha.
Extreme evil is a great cause of evil, and what you get is a great result of suffering.But everyone was not aware of it and continued:
〖Diligent in business 〗
This [diligence] means doing evil deeds very hard.This [business] is operation, and [business] is manufacturing and manufacturing.
〖Self-sufficiency 〗
We must understand what this sentence means, which means fighting for fame and fortune by any means, which is called self-sufficiency.
〖Highness and inferiority.Rich and poor.A little longer.men and women. 〗
These eight words include all people from all walks of life, almost all of whom are committing evil deeds and fighting for fame and fortune.
Let’s see, is the reality really like this?
〖Crazy thoughts and accumulate thoughts.For the heart, I will be in charge. 〗
〔Comprehensive thoughts and thoughts are what we usually call concentrating. What we think about every thought is mostly to harm others and benefit ourselves, regardless of the interests of others, and the security of society, and only seek self-interest.
〔This [mind] is a false mind, and the body and mouth are dominated and commanded by false thoughts. This is driven by false thoughts, so it is committed evil karma.
Think about it, let’s take an example.
For example, fraud.Now, there may be such an idea in everyone's mind. It seems that it is not easy to find real things. Whenever you mention anything, it is fake.Let’s talk about fake cigarettes, fake wine, and fake medicines, which we often encounter in daily life.You said that fake cigarette, if real cigarettes are smoked, it will be harmful to the human body. If you use fake cigarettes, will it be even more harmful?Do you think that fake wine will be harmful to human body if it is drunk?What is particularly harmful is the fake medicine.Many medicines are life-saving, but your fake medicine is not life-saving, and sometimes even life-saving.When we see the situation in front of us, we think about the Buddha’s understanding and understanding of these things three thousand years ago, and told us that we are ahead. Should we praise the Buddha’s great wisdom and great virtues!
Look at the following passage:
【Have no land and worry about the land.Don’t worry about home.Family property.Have a common worry or not.There is one less one.Thoughts and desires are all waiting.Suitable for small possession.Very worried.Water and Fire Thieves.The enemy creditor.Burning and robbing.Dissipate and erase.】
What does this passage tell us?
That is to say, all sentient beings want to fight for land, family, and property when they don’t have it, but they are afraid of losing it after they have it;There are times when I feel less and less, and I don’t have contentment.I always want to compare with others and to compare with others (that is, to compare with others).I just owned it, and I was worried that I would lose what I had.For example, floods, fires, robberies of thieves, dissipation of enemies, erasing of creditors, etc.I just didn't think about having it, I was afraid of losing it and was worried.
Let's look at the following words:
〔It's also very worried. This refers to something unexpected.
〔Elimination] This grinding is torture the body and mind, and this destruction is to eliminate.It means that all the money and property are lost and nothing is left.I got it, but lost it again.
〖Have no land and worry about the land.Don’t worry about home. 〗
This is what we are talking about today, and this real estate includes land and houses.Our people’s desires are getting higher and stronger, and the more real estate such as land and houses, the better. They are really a bit insatiable!
〖Family property 〗
This [family] refers to parents, wives, and children.The [property] here means that all property except land and houses are included in this property.
〖Have any worries 〗
This is easy to understand, which means you want to get what you don’t get, and try your best to fight for it. After you get it, you are afraid of losing it.For example, many people now have this mental state, and they are afraid of depreciation if they have too much money.
There is no end to what people worry about.The delusions of worrying about gains and losses cannot be calmed down.Why are people uneasy?It is your delusions that will make your mind uneasy forever.There are so many things you care about and worry about!
For example, the online fraud we hear is really hard to guard against!Your passbook and your card were already in your pocket, and no one came into contact with it. Alas, but the money inside disappeared.This is what I saw on TV. This is called online fraud, and it is all gangs, even from home and abroad.So, rich people, do you think they are worried or not?Because he unknowingly lost his money and it was difficult to get it back.
If the people who have no money and poor worry about each other every day, then look at the fact that the rich are more worried than the poor.What was he worried about?I was worried that his property would be lost, and I was afraid that his money would be deceived by others.So whether we have the same worries or not is the deepest feeling today.
〖There is one less one 〗
With this and that, I have less of it. I compare this and that with others all day long. The more I compare this and that, the more I feel, the more unbalanced it becomes.I don’t have what others have, and I feel unbalanced;I have what others have, but others have better than mine, and I still feel unbalanced.
For example, it makes me feel uncomfortable to see someone else’s house bigger than my own house;I feel sad when I see someone driving a brand-name car, my car is not a brand-name car;I feel sad when I see other people's children going to prestigious schools and my own children going to ordinary schools.If you compare this every day, you feel sad every day. How hard it is to be like this!
Each of us matches the numbers and see if we are like this?If you compare yourself with others every day, you will feel sad every day, and your life will always be bitter.Why don’t you jump out of this suffering?
What is true happiness?The old master’s answer to us is: Be at ease, don’t worry all day long, have no worries or concerns, this person is the happiest person.After hearing this, are you convinced?
Let me say it again:
What is true happiness?Be at ease, don’t worry all day long, have no worries or concerns, this person is the happiest person.He has the greatest blessing.It is definitely not a person with wealth that has blessings, nor is it a person with power that has blessings.If you are rich and suffering, it is better to be poor and happy.It’s better if you have nothing to do in your heart.True happiness is that there is nothing in your heart.
Chanting Buddha’s name honestly is a real important thing, and it is true happiness!Nothing else matters.Reading scriptures and chanting Buddha’s name honestly is the only big thing for enlightened people!
There is one less one is a common problem in the world.Do you understand? What is there one less one?Is it a common problem of foolishness in the world?If you are foolish and you will have this disease, and if you have this, you will feel that I have not yet, then you will live in pain.
〖Thoughts and desires are waiting 〗
These sentences are all the truth and the reality of our lives.
〔Thinking and wanting to be the same as others.Is it possible?impossible.Why is it impossible?Because it can't be done.What is the reason that can't be done?Because the causes of the races in the world are different, the consequences they receive are naturally different.
Compared with others, what others plant is the cause of others, and what you plant is your cause.Because it is different, you ask for the same result. Is that reality?So, is this a pure delusion?
《The Four Lessons of Life" says that those who have the virtue of a hundred generations will definitely have the descendants of a hundred generations to protect them.Who is the example?Confucius in China is an example.During the Master's life, he taught sentient beings with a pure heart.He has been engaged in education and teaching for life, teaching people to understand the human ethics and be a scheming person.If everyone is at peace and self-stakes, society will be stable and world peace will be peaceful.This is what he did in his life.
It has been passed down to this day, Mr. Kong Decheng, the 76th generation grandson of Confucius.Think about it, is this what I said just now: Those who have the virtue of a hundred generations must have a hundred generations of descendants to protect them? This is really a practical example.Now that Mr. Kong Decheng is abroad, he is treated with special courtesy when he hears that he is a descendant of Confucius.What's this?This is the light of virtue accumulated by ancestors, and this is the light of virtue.There is another saying: Those who have the virtue of ten generations must have ten generations of descendants to protect them.
In China, some emperors of all dynasties can enjoy the power for hundreds of years, while others can enjoy it for decades. This is because the ancestors have accumulated a lot of virtue.What does it look like if you don’t accumulate virtue?Even if you can defeat the world, it will be over in a few years.
Let’s look at history. The changes in each dynasty and the separatist rule of heroes. In the end, the success is the ancestors who accumulate virtue and have their own virtues, so that they can achieve great success and achieve great achievements.It can be seen that what can seize fame and power is not force, but blessing.This is the valuable experience left to us by our ancestors.
From a country to a family, we must cultivate good deeds and accumulate virtues.If ancestors are virtuous, their descendants will benefit;If ancestors have no virtue, they will harm their descendants.
Don’t compare fame, wealth and prosperity with others. If you want to compare, you will compare virtue and blessings.Buddhism teaches us to be content and always be happy, without competing with others and without seeking in the world.What is the richest person?The Buddha told us that the old master also told us that contentment is the richest man.
Don't everyone want to be rich?So what is the richest person?Contentment.People who are unsatisfied are insatiable and will never be satisfied, suffer so much.
〖Suitable for small possession.Very worried.Water and Fire Thieves.The enemy creditor. 〗
This [small and small] means that after hard management, life has been passed.
But [and worrying too much], this is because you are getting and afraid of losing, and you are asking and afraid of losing. This is a heavy psychological burden.Which ones are very?Isn't it too worrying?
We said earlier, the water and fire thief.The enemy creditor.
Ordinary people are very concerned about gains and losses, and they will be anxious. This is the actual situation.We often see and hear in our lives that when encountering these situations, such as the ruthlessness of water and fire.
Some people accumulate family business for their whole life and burn all their fire, which is very special.
〖Burning and robbing.Dissipate and erase. 〗
This refers to a very disaster.The accidental disasters mentioned today are difficult to avoid.What should we do if Buddhism teaches us?Give up wealth and cultivate blessings.
Remember: Buddhism teaches us to sacrifice money and cultivate blessings.Only those who truly cultivate blessings can survive any major disasters they encounter, because they are blessed.
Is there any way to protect this blessing?The old master taught us a trick, and I will name it a trick.
The old master teaches us to do three things and protect this blessing.
The first thing is to give alms to Buddhism and circulate magic weapons.
It is very concise and very easy to remember: donating Buddhism and circulating magic weapons.
The second thing is to release animals.
How to put it?Do it with the flow, not deliberately.If it is for the purpose of releasing animals, it is wrong.This is the second thing: release animals.
The third thing is to help the suffering of the disease.
Help those who are sick and need our help.
These are the three tricks that the old master told us about Baofu.If you accumulate virtue from these aspects and accumulate merits, you will definitely have blessings in this merit. No matter what great disaster you encounter, you will not suffer.The three tricks that the old master taught us are very simple, it depends on whether we believe it or not or whether we do it.If we truly believe and do these three things, your blessings will never be lost.
Look at the following verses:
【Stingy heart.Incompetent to give up.Give up donations after death.No one follows you.The rich and the poor are the same.Worry and suffering.】
What kind of heart is the heart of sentient beings?Stingy means being stingy.Some of them don’t like to give to others and are reluctant to let go.But at the time of death, he could not take anything he had.This phenomenon is the same, no matter how poor, rich and noble it is, and everyone has endless worries and distress.
〖Stingy heart 〗
This stinginess is greed, stinginess, and stubbornness.
〖Incompetent 〗
I just can't let go and can't bear it, but I can't take it with me even after I die.
〖Give up donations after death.No one follows you. 〗
The ancients often said that if you can’t take anything with you, you can only follow your karma.Everyone who studies Buddhism knows these two sentences.We are born into this world because of our past karma.Life brings nothing;Death, I can't take anything with me.Evil karma, pure karma, and good karma, these three karmas can be taken away.
If you understand this principle, you must use all your energy to cultivate blessings, good deeds, and pure deeds, and never practice evil deeds.
Because you can take these three karmas when you leave, you can't take anything except these three karmas.This time, we must be clear and clear about this principle after listening to the explanation of the "Amitabha Sutra".
Practice in Buddhism, practice wealth and charity, practice Dharma and charity and charity and charity and charity and charity will lead to health and longevity.The Buddha said that if you practice these three causes, you will definitely receive these three results.
Children and grandchildren should be educated and raised well.But tell us not to leave money for him, but to cultivate blessings for him and accumulate virtue for him.This is one of the truths that we modern people need to understand the most.
What we want to leave for our children and grandchildren now is basically property, but we didn’t expect to accumulate blessings and virtues for our children and grandchildren.If you leave him blessings, your children and grandchildren can get real benefits.If you keep your property for him, he thinks that wealth comes so easily, and he doesn't know how to cherish it, he will easily fall into depravity and create karma.
Most of the heroes and heroes in history, Chinese and foreign countries, come from a poor family, and have few children who have made their debut.
A poor man knows that working hard and his ancestors and parents have good deeds, which will greatly benefit him and will definitely be able to develop.
After listening to this passage, we need to understand a truth: What to leave for our children and grandchildren?Keep blessings and virtues, and not wealth.
〖The rich and the poor are the same.Worry and suffering. 〗
Because people in the world do not understand the truth and commit extremely evil karma, they suffer extremely suffering and will most likely fall into the three paths after death.
Look at the following passage:
【People in the world.Father, son, brother, husband and wife relatives.Should love each other.No one hates and jealousy.Whether there is or not is connected.No gain or greed.Always be harmonious with your words and expressions.Don't go against each other.Or sometimes the mind is arguing.Angry.A drama that was reincarnated in later generations.It is a big grudge.Things in the world.More harmful.Not temporary though.I want to solve the emergency.】
This mainly talks about how the people in the world, father, son, brother, and husband and relatives should get along with each other, and tell us this truth.
Look at the following words:
〔The existence or not is connected] This existence or not refers to the existence or not in property, and mutual communication refers to mutual help.
〔Violation] This Violation is Violation, Violation means viciousness.
〔Heart disputes means having opinions in your heart and being unable to tolerate them.
This passage of scripture is the Buddha exhorting us: It is said that people should get along with each other, especially family harmony, and we should be clear and honest and fulfill our duties.
This passage of the Buddha's teaching is exactly the same as the ethics mentioned by Confucianism.Chinese society is an ethical society.Ethical education was advocated by Confucius, and the Master’s great virtue advocated ethical education.The Chinese nation has lived in the Yellow River and Yangtze River Basin for thousands of years but has not yet perished, and is due to the Master's education.We are deeply grateful to our most holy teacher.
〖Father, son, brother, husband and wife relatives.Should love each other. 〗
Tell us that we should respect and love each other, and these are our closest and most beloved relatives.
〖No hatred and jealousy 〗
Don't hate each other or envy each other.If you hate each other and envy each other, it is a serious sin.
〖Whether there is or not 〗
Whether there is material life and spiritual life are included here.
Brothers and sisters should always care about each other, support each other and help each other, and be able to communicate with each other spiritually and materially.In our modern terms, we must contact and communicate with each other frequently, which means this.That is to say, our current society does have big problems in this regard.Whether it is a father or son, whether it is a brother or a couple, in this regard, it is almost done, not to mention the obstruction.So, three thousand years ago, the Buddha explained our situation today clearly.
Let's continue to look:
〖No gains and greed 〗
You must not be greedy or stingy.A family is your own body. Don’t think that both parents and brothers have nothing to do with me. If you know each other like this, you would be wrong.Even brothers never interact with each other, that is wrong.Being able to regard a family as one of oneself is just like caring for oneself, this is filial piety.We don’t advocate filial piety, so how can we fulfill our filial piety?If you care about this family, your parents, and your brothers and sisters, you are fulfilling your filial piety.
Because you have done your filial piety, your brothers and sisters are very harmonious, your parents do not worry, and your parents do not worry.Because what parents most want to see is that their children and grandchildren get along well, respect and help each other, so that their parents will feel at ease and feel happy.This filial piety not only means how much and good you offer to your parents’ material life, but also requires the heart and ambition of fostering parents.
If the siblings are not in harmony, parents will be worried;The descendants are not virtuous and the parents are worried;Parents are worried if their descendants do not study hard;Parents are worried if their descendants don’t work well;The descendants have a disagreement in their families, they quarrel today and divorce tomorrow, and their parents are worried.
If a person is filial and his family is perfect, you say that the old man is so happy.To make the elderly happy is true filial piety.This is not easy to do without good ethical education.
〖Constantly harmonious 〗
This tells us to be tolerant, tolerant, and to be harmonious.
〖Don't go against each other 〗
Even if both of them can tolerate each other, there will be no offense.
〔Violation is Violation, [Violation] is violation, that is, brothers and sisters must not be violating each other, be kind and kind, not fierce, like enemies.
〖Or sometimes the mind is arguing 〗
This tells us, what should we do if we sometimes have different opinions?It should be reconciled.For example, if the family is not harmonious, the family will become enemies.There is a saying that is, it’s not that enemies don’t get together.
A family is harmonious and they are loved by the closest relatives;If a family is not harmonious, it means that enemies are gathering.It’s just that the enemies gathered and they all got together.What should we turn our enemies into in-laws?It all depends on this ethical education.This is the expectation of saints from the world and beyond.If a family doesn’t understand this principle, it’s a gathering of enemies. How miserable do you say it is!
The Buddha said in the scriptures that a wife, children, parents, and relatives will never become a family without four kinds of relationships. We all know this.What four relationships?
First, repay kindness.
It means that we have been kind to each other in our previous lives, and those who repay our kindness must be filial sons and grandchildren. This is the first relationship.
The second relationship is to complain.
That's why I advise everyone not to make grudges with anyone, because if you make grudges, you must bear the cause and effect.Resentment is the cause. You must experience the result in the future. Those who repay the resentment will find your home.The more resentment you have, the more enemies you have.For example, if a prodigal son comes from complaining.Some children, no one can tell me, but one of them has a prodigal son.This prodigal son is a debt collector who comes to repay his grievances. He makes the family uneasy and even the family is destroyed.This is the second complaint.
The third one is debt collection.
This debt collector is called a debt collector.Children who collect debts are generally very popular.For example, he is well-behaved, knows how to deal with things, and is good at coaxing people. He is beautiful and likable, and this is a debt collector.After he came, because he came to collect debts. If you owe him little, he would die if he lived for a year or two;If you owe him too much, he will live in his teens, twenties, or even a little longer.
For example, there is such a person who is purely a debt collector. Some people just finished their college studies, some people just got their doctorate and left. We say that he died in the words of ordinary people.You said that such a child died just after finishing college and just got his doctorate.What kind of mood do you think of your parents? Are you heartbroken?Looking back now, is he a debt collector?It's really a debt collector.This is the third one.
The fourth one is to repay the debt.
There are two situations for repaying debts: if he owes you little, he can guarantee your life, he will not support you very much, and he thinks you can live a good life, so forget it;If he owe you a lot, he will provide you with a lot and make your material life rich.This is here to pay off the debt.
So the Buddha told us clearly that without these four relationships, you can't make do with them, right?We have made this problem clear and you can figure it out if you encounter some specific things.For example, I met a student whose son died just after graduating from university.So this student is so painful that he doesn't want to live anymore.Now that I hear this paragraph, you will understand that he is here to collect the debt. After the debt is finished, the other person will leave.You should not think about him so hard and free yourself as soon as possible.
In this world, there are only these four kinds of fate between people.If we figure this problem out, everything will be easy and will be able to figure it out, otherwise we will not be able to figure out some things.
Those who study Buddhism must remember not to make grudges with anyone.Remember this word any.Don’t make grudges with anyone, this is a truly smart person, a truly wise person.
We are mainly tolerant of enemies' debts.
Think about it, it’s just forever!If you endure it for a lifetime, we will pay off this debt.Therefore, you must learn to be tolerant, not be afraid of losing or being deceived.Suffering losses is a blessing, not a disaster, and suffering losses can eliminate disasters and sins.Tolerant decisions are correct. You cannot say that you are incompetent, but tolerant decisions are correct.You have to make sure you keep tolerant.
〖Things in the world.More harmful. 〗
Because people in the world do not have wisdom, they always revenge, and every revenge must be exceeded.To put it bluntly, you have to be a little too much. If you are not good for me, I will definitely make you unfavorable, and you have to be more than that.Such a result is endless revenge.We know this truth, so we don’t have to take revenge at all.
〖Not temporary 〗
Although this sentence creates resentment, there is no retribution in front of you.Even if you said I didn’t look at what the result looked like?You will know if you read the following sentence:
〖Emergency thoughts 〗
It means telling us that there is no such evil consequence now, and you must understand the truth of the matter.The truth is that you cannot make enemies with others.
The ancients often said that the mouth is the door to good fortune and good fortune, but our mouth is the door to good fortune and good fortune. We must be careful when speaking and do not hurt others.Why do I always tell you not to hurt others now?Because I know that the consequences of this hurtful person are not light.We often speak nonsense and say whatever we want, but we don’t know if we hurt others.But when the fate of your retribution is ripe, you must suffer the retribution.
Also, what should we do with those rootless rumors?If you don’t pass it, you must not pass it!If you don’t listen or believe, that’s even better;If you can't refuse to listen or believe, you must not spread it.
Rumors stop at the wise, and you will end it when you are here. Don’t continue to spread it.A wise man will stop the rumor immediately when he hears it and will never pass it to a second person.Spreading rumors is to create big words, to commit sins and evil karma.
Read the next passage:
【People are in love and desire.Living alone and dying alone.Go alone and come alone.You will be happy and happy.There is no generation.Good and evil change.Chasing is born.The roads are different.Meeting is endless.Why not be strong?Work hard to cultivate goodness.What should I do?】
This passage of scripture is a bit longer, what do you mainly tell us?
For example, this sentence: 〖Chasing 〗It refers to the place where it is born, and the consequences are followed and reluctant to leave.What kind of cause you create will definitely be rewarded.Therefore, you will get good results when you have good causes, and you will get bad results when you have bad causes.What does this zhi mean?It means following you, always following you.
〖People are in love and desire.Living alone and dying alone.Go alone and come alone.You will be happy and happy.There is no generation. 〗
These words are quite important!We must deeply understand these sentences, because this is the truth that the Buddha is telling us.
The time between people is very short. After death, everyone will have their own consequences, and they are all led by karma.Even if you meet in the six realms in the future, you will not know each other.Because of what?Sacrifice your body and receive your body in the six realms, and your appearance will change, that is, your body and appearance will change.For example, if you are a human body in this life, you will be degenerate in the future, and you will become an animal body.Who knows whom?I don't know you at all!
Therefore, I often tell you that you must remember:
If you reincarnate in the six realms, you will definitely be alone in life and death.Go alone, no one will be your company.That's true.We must deeply understand these sentences.
Why are we reincarnated in the Saha world?It’s because we have great love, that’s because we have great desire.There is no such thing as saying, love is not heavy, and you will not be born in the Saha world;If you have different thoughts, you will not be reborn in the Pure Land. This is the truth!Because our desire for love is too strong, we come to this world to be reborn.
What is the problem here? Many of our fellow practitioners who study Buddhism do not understand the truth.For example, if a person who recites the Buddha's name is sick, he immediately thinks that this treatment must be the business of the Medicine Buddha.Originally, he was chanting Amitabha Buddha or Guanyin Bodhisattva. This time, he changed to chanting Medicine Buddha. He believed that this matter had nothing to do with Amitabha Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva.If he encounters any disaster, he immediately thinks that Guanyin Bodhisattva is to save suffering and the matter is not under the control of Amitabha Buddha, so he hurried to recite Guanyin Bodhisattva again.
Everyone should know that everything is one, and one is everything.If you want to like to recite Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, you should recite Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and concentrate on chanting Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. This is nothing wrong. Dedicate this merit to seek rebirth in the Pure Land, because the condition for rebirth is to recite Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.What am I talking about with this example?It means you must understand the truth that Buddhism gives us.If you are sick, I will tell you that you do not need to chant the Medicine Buddha instead, but you still chant Amitabha Buddha. It is easy to use and you do not need to change it over and over again.
Only living and dying alone, these two are telling us that after a person dies, he is lonely and helpless, and no one will be your company.When a person is dying, he has not yet died. What phenomenon will happen?He will see many ghosts.And these ghosts are transformed into the shapes of their family members who have passed away, such as mother, father, brothers and sisters. These ghosts will become the shapes of your family members.What to do?Come to confuse you and seduce you.Once you think this is your relative, you go with them. Okay, they will immediately change their faces and collect debts from you.So what's going on with you?Being confused and tempted, you are truly in the clutches of devils.We have heard this state many times in the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" and all of them have understood it.
So when we are reborn, we must remember who will guide us?It must be our true deity Amitabha Buddha who comes to guide you, or the Three Western Saints come to guide you together, or the Three Western Saints lead the Bodhisattvas to guide you to rebirth.
You must be sure to see: Amitabha Buddha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.
Some people say that if I was reborn, it was Sakyamuni Buddha who came to guide me, would I go with him?I tell you not to follow me!That's all changing.Because of evil demons and heretics, they can change into the form of other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, but they can never change the form of their deity.Why?The guardian of the Dharma God in Weituo Bodhisattva is in charge, and that is not allowed. You cannot change the form of the deity.
We understand here. If we send someone to rebirth, we must tell him that we must follow Amitabha Buddha and the Three Western Saints, and not follow other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
I want to say something to you here, I remember that I told you before we passed away, there were so many people who couldn't let go of them.In our Saha world, we can't bear to leave our children and grandchildren, which is a very delayed thing.You have to figure out where your relatives are?Your relatives cannot be seen in the six realms because you live alone and die alone.Go alone and come alone.
Your relatives are all in the Western Paradise. When you get there, you will know that there are too many relatives in the Western Paradise!And you have to know that if you are reincarnated in the Saha world or in the six realms, you will be free from suffering and happiness.No one can replace you without a generation.We must understand this truth and we must understand this truth.
〖Good and evil change.Chasing is born.The roads are different.Meeting is endless. 〗
It’s what I just said, if you reincarnate in the six realms, don’t think about seeing your relatives again, and you will be in a desperate situation.
What else should I say here? It means that because good and evil change are too fast and too big, what issues should we pay attention to when we send us to rebirth?Because before and after he passed away, all his behavior changes were not controlled by him, we must understand this issue.So what should we do?It is Buddhism that you must not touch people eight hours after their death, because it is because of the changes in good and evil.Chasing the truth that comes from birth.The old master tells us here that at that time, his soul did not leave his body. If you touch him, he would be in great pain. He would fall down with hatred for a lifetime.Therefore, when we send rebirth, we must pay attention to this issue.
Some people have asked this question about the bardo body. Here I will use the answers given to you by the old master.The old master told us that there are three situations where there is no bardo body:
The first situation is that the Buddha comes to take him and goes directly to the Western Pure Land to become a Buddha or a Bodhisattva. This has no bardo body.
The second type is that there is no bardo body when ascending to heaven.This means that this person has great blessings. Once he dies, he will go to heaven. He has no bardo body.
The third type of person who does not have a bardo body is to directly fall into the Avici Hell and the Avici Hell. This kind of person does not have a bardo body.
Except for these three types of people, there are all bardos.Although he died, his spiritual sense has not left yet, which is what we call soul.If the spiritual consciousness does not leave, if you touch him at this time, he will feel troubled and in pain.If he feels angry at this time, he will definitely fall into the evil path and fall into the evil path.
Therefore, those who send rebirth must pay attention to this aspect!
When you are dying, it is best to chant for him, chant Amitabha Buddha, do not touch him or touch him.
I suggest that you don’t visit it in a while, and see where it’s hot and where it’s not hot. I don’t recommend doing this.
You are just persuading him to chant Amitabha Buddha wholeheartedly, and everyone will chant Amitabha Buddha for him. This is the safest thing.Why don't we adopt this safest approach?The six realms of reincarnation, which path to go is the thought of that moment.In an instant, he might have gone to this road;In an instant, he might have gone to that road.So we'd better pay attention to this matter.
I also have another suggestion: before a person is dying, or eight hours after his death, it is best not to keep his family members in front of him. This is one of my suggestions.Why?Because everyone has feelings, once family members are in front, it is easy to cause their attachment to love, which is not conducive to their rebirth in the Pure Land.
〖Why not be strong?Work hard to cultivate goodness.What should I do? 〗
This is the Buddha's earnest advice that we are healthy now and when we are very strong, we should work hard to stop evil and practice good, and not wait any longer.Many people say that learning Buddhism is a matter for the elderly. We are young and strong now, and it is the time to do a career. We have to do something. Let’s talk about it after I retire and learn Buddhism.This concept is absolutely wrong, and studying Buddhism will not affect your career.
How to deal with this issue correctly? I said this, do you see if it’s right?
For example, after I retire, I will study Buddhism again, and then it will be too late.But as far as I have come into contact with is my classmates or colleagues, I know they have this idea, but they are just about to retire, but they have not retired yet, or they have just retired and their lifespan is gone.What's going on if your life span is gone?Leaving, dead.You said that your life span is gone and you still want to learn Buddhism, how do you learn it?You don’t have a lifespan, how can you learn?So I advise some people that if you want to learn Buddhism, your concept must be changed.Now, while you are strong, listen to the Buddha's advice and study Buddhism well from now on. This is right.
Don’t let time pass, don’t let this opportunity miss!This is very, very important!
It can be said that the Buddha repeatedly encouraged us again and again, and he was truly extremely compassionate!Can we feel this kind of compassion of the Buddha?
Today's time is here, so that's all.
Thank you everyone!Amitabha!
