Master Xuanhua: If a sentient being is determined to practice universal virtuous conduct, the Bodhisattva will silently give him such a touch

Master Xuanhua 2025-02-24

Master Xuanhua compassionately lectured:

The Bodhisattva of Universal Virtue stood up from his seat, bowed to the Buddha's feet, and said to the Buddha: I have been the prince of the Dharma with the Tathagata of the Hengsha, and the Tathagata of the Ten Directions taught his disciple the Bodhisattva Root, cultivated the Universal Virtue, and established a name from me. World-Honored One! I listen with my heart, distinguishBeings, all knowledge. If in another place, outside the realm of the Ganges, there is a sentient being who invents universal virtuous actions in their hearts, and at that time, I will ride a six-tusked elephant and have hundreds or thousands of clones all arrived there. Even if the obstacles are deep and they cannot see me, I will secretly rub my head with them, support and comfort them, and make them succeed. The Buddha asked Yuantong, I said the original cause, the mind heard the invention, and the distinction is free, which is the first. ”

"Universal Virtue Bodhisattva": He is a great virtue, his deeds are the greatest, and he has ten great wishes.

These ten vows are in the morning and evening homework, namely: one is to pay homage to the Buddhas, the second is to praise the Tathagata, the third is to practice extensively and make offerings, the fourth is to repent of karma, and the fifth is to repentFollow the joymerits and virtues, the sixth is to turn the Dharma wheel, the seventh is to invite the Buddha to live in the world, the eighth is to always follow Buddhism, the ninth is to obey all sentient beings, and the tenth is universalTurn, these ten are called the "Ten Wish Kings" of Puxian Xing.

In the "Avatamsaka Sutra", there is only one product called "Universal Virtue Fulfillment Product", and his wish power is particularly large, and this kind of action power is also very large, so he is very destined to be with all sentient beings.

What is he riding? He rode an elephant. His six-tusked white elephant, white means that this is the only Buddha vehicle in white, six ivory bodhisattvasSix degrees

Bodhisattva "immediately stood up from his seat, bowed to the Buddha's feet, and said to the Buddha": Bodhisattva got up from his seat, bowed to the Buddha, and said to the Buddha.

"I have been the prince of the Dharma with the Tathagata of the Ganges": In the past, I have counted so many princes of the Tathagata for the sands of the Ganges.

"The Tathagata of the Ten Directions taught his disciples the root of the Bodhisattva, cultivate the universal virtuous conduct, and establish a name from me": The Tathagata of the Ten Directions taught all his disciples, if they have the root of a bodhisattva, they must cultivate the ten vows of the universal sage, which is the name given to me from here.

"World-Honored One" I smell with my heart": I don't need to hear with my ears, I smell with my heart, "Distinguish sentient beings, all knowledge": I distinguish the mind of sentient beings, not a discriminating mind, but use my sincerity to analyze all the roots of sentient beings and all what they think in their hearts.

"If it is outside the boundary of the Ganges": Not only is this world like this, but if it is in the land of another country, outside the world of the sands of the Ganges, it is very far away from here, and it is too far away to calculate that kind of distant law.

"There is a sentient being who invents the universal virtuous practitioner in his heart": There is a sentient being who wants to practice the universal virtuous practice in his heart.

"At that time, I rode a six-tusked elephant, and hundreds and thousands of clones came to their place": When he was making up his mind, I rode on a white elephant with six tusks, and transformed into hundreds of thousands of trillions of bodies, not just one body; These hundreds of thousands of trillions of bodies go to this place of sentient beings.

"Even if the obstacles are deep, they cannot see me": Even if this person's karma is too deep, he cannot see me.

"I secretly rub my head with him, support and comfort, and make him accomplish": Although he cannot see me, I also give him this kind of topping in silence, protecting this person, comforting this person, and commanding himPracticeAll of them have been achieved.

When we practice the Dharma and practice, sometimes we feel as if there are insects crawling on our heads—as if someone is moving our heads, or as if there are insects crawling on our faces. I advise you not to scratch it with your hands, not to scratch it with your hands! Why? This may be the Bodhisattva and Buddha who come to give us the top! When you are attentive, you will know that you feel this way; When you touch it, there is nothing at all. At this time, it is the Bodhisattva who comes to bless us! So you don't touch it with your hands. If each of you has a little sincerity, you will feel this way.

"The Buddha asked about the enlightenment": Now the Buddha asks each disciple about the enlightenment.

"I say the original cause, the mind hears the invention, the distinction is free, this is the first": I said that I originally invented this relationship with the earth, hearing the knowledge of all sentient beings in my heart. This true distinction is a kind of freedom distinction, and it also obtains a kind of freedom, and I think this method is the first!

Also, we should not have a temper; If there is a temper, there will be demonic obstacles. So this anger must be smaller!Learn BuddhismThe law should be serious!
