Dream ginseng old monk: Buddha is not omnipotent, people have to save themselves!

Dream ginseng old monk 2024-10-24

If I think that the recitation of the Mahayana scriptures is complete, and I come up with a million reasons, is there any way that I can obtain this Dharma without having to pay? No! I'll be honest with you, I've been a monk for more than 60 years, and I've been looking for it all the time! You have to drill the road and learn the tricks, there is no one!

No matter which lama you receive an empowerment with, even if Shakyamuni Buddha himself comes and receives an empowerment with you, the Buddha can't do anything, the Buddha can't do anything, the Buddha can't eliminate your karma.

There are three no's for a Buddha. The Buddha can knowBeingsAll kinds of natures, billions of eons of things, the Buddha can know. But the Buddha can't save the sentient beings who don't have a chance, and the Buddha can't transform into a Buddha, which is the first thing that the Buddha can't do.

Second, the Buddha can empty all appearances and achieve all the wisdom of all the laws, but he can't destroy the fixed karma, which the second Buddha can't do. The Buddha can be immeasurably affectionate, you watch ""Jizo SutraThere are so many sentient beings in the earth, and even the Buddha's eyes are innumerable. Manjushri measured with the eyes of heaven, and there were so many people who had attained Buddhahood, attained bodhisattvahood, and even attended puja in the heavenly realm. But in the eighth rank, King Yama asked the Buddha, "I don't know one thing, the power of the Jizo Bodhisattva is so great, so greatAvatarI see that the beings he saved came back after a long time, why? Didn't he go out? Why did you run back again?"

The Buddha said that this is the karma of all sentient beings, and it is difficult to adjust the strength and subduit, and it is not something that can be done once or twice! That is, the Buddha can be immeasurably sentient, like the Jizo Bodhisattva, but the realm of sentient beings is inexhaustible. Even the Buddhas that we respect the most and honor the most, all Buddhas are like this, all Buddhas are saving sentient beings, but the realm of sentient beings is far from so many and endless.

We just said that there are more than 6 billion people on this earth, which is a lot, let's look at the fish, turtles, shrimps, crabs and how many marine creatures there are? That's all sentient beings! Therefore, we should be aware of one problem - that is, to "self-study". You have to work your own, and there is no such thing as being skillful and convenient, just say that I don't cultivateCertificationEven if you see Jizo Bodhisattva in person, Jizo Bodhisattva can't help you, Guanyin Bodhisattva can't help you, you have to "save yourself".

Therefore, instead of fantasizing about a sustenance that can save you, it is better to ask your own heart in turn to dwell your heart in a certain dwelling place.

In the "Diamond Sutra", it is said: "The mind should be born without dwelling", and the mind can be born without dwelling! What kind of heart is this heart that was born? It's no dwelling! You dwell your mind on non-dwelling, which means that everything is not attached, so that you can attain attainment, you can get liberation, and you can no longer find anything else.

So things don't need to know so much, we can break the confusion, it's very amazing, as long as you can break the confusion, at least not in the three paintings, not yetSix reincarnationsCirculation, we don't want to talk about it very high, very big, very satisfying, but to do it, we still have to implement it step by step and do it in a down-to-earth manner.

In addition, we should not take what the Buddha talked about to this type of sentient beings to another type of machine, because this will not work, because we don't have a Master at this time, we don't have a good teacher to give guidance, and we can't see the root mechanism of our many lives. So you will cause confusion, as if the masses who are obviously the root mechanism of Mahayana tell them the Hinayana sutras, and when they face the root mechanism of Hinayana they say the Mahayana sutras, and when they hear it, they think, "Why should I learn that?" I'm still open-minded! A pillar of incense in the Zen gate, evidencebodhiHawkers! Or go and learnZen!

These questions create confusion for us, and who gave us this confusion? It's us who brought it ourselves, because of our karma, so we don't meet the Master.

Once upon a time, a fellow Taoist told me that he wanted me to introduce him to a Master so that he could get to know him, a Master like Master Hongyi and the old monk Xuyun. Every time I go to him, I want to tell them about their past experiences, but I don't talk about them, in fact, there are higher masters than them, like the four famous monks of the Ming Dynasty, you just hear the names, when you really get close to them, they are not holy! Shakyamuni Buddha was no better than the foreign way in the eyes of the Indians at that time, but he was just a different Buddha! It's not as mysterious and mythical as we propagate the Buddha in the East, which is unrealistic. When I say this, people may not be able to accept it, but I am telling the truth, and this is my experience of being a monk for more than 60 years.
