Sodaji Khenpo: Modern people live in the abyss of danger, and the fundamental reason is that people lack Buddhism

Tibetan Master 2017-05-07

Now is the time when Buddhism is in decline, and people are very lacking in the dew of Dharma, just like being forced by thirst.Indeed, Sakyamuni Buddha's Dharma is fading away like the sun in the West. Now practitioners are increasingly unpredictable to the precepts, and eminent monks and great masters have also passed away. At this time, people lack spiritual comfort and happiness, especially in need of Buddhism. It can be said that it is like the desire for sweet springs by those who are forced to suffer from thirst.

On the surface, people's material living standards in today's era have significantly improved and science and technology have developed rapidly, but this has not brought inner health and happiness to all living beings.If people's mentality becomes increasingly unhealthy, then no matter how rich the material life is, it cannot make up for the inner shortcomings.Now, human kindness is becoming increasingly weak, moral standards are declining sharply, and noble behavior is extremely rare, so people's body and mind will also face huge crises.The recent food safety incidents such as toxic milk powder are caused by weak moral concepts such as not believing in cause and effect, only considering oneself and not considering others.

I think terrorists are not very scary. The bin Laden group has blown up a few houses at most, but the overall moral standards of human beings decline, which is very dangerous.In real life, many businessmen make large quantities of toxic products for their own selfish interests, causing countless consumers to consume, causing many people to live in the shadow of terror, and even drinking water in daily life has become a terrible thing.Some time ago, at the "Second International Charity Forum", a person spoke that 70% of tap water in big cities now has toxins.After listening to his report, I was a little scared when I drank boiled water.To be honest, the sugar people eat, drinks they drink now are not safe because the inventors and manufacturers do not believe in cause and effect and use impure raw materials without any scruples.

It can be said that modern people live in the abyss of danger, and the fundamental reason is that people lack Buddhism.If you have Buddhism, you can at least not harm sentient beings, because the basic content of Buddhism is to not harm sentient beings. On this basis, Mahayana Buddhism also benefits all sentient beings.Therefore, if a person learns Buddhism, his actions will definitely contain altruistic elements, so that he will not produce products that are harmful to his health.

So I think that today's human beings should seek Buddhism with the mentality of dry mouth and tongue craving for sweet springs.Indeed, in today's era, the education of Mahayana Buddhism is very appropriate and timely.Without such Buddhist education and relying solely on legal punishment and high-pressure policies, it would not be possible to solve all social problems, and at most it would only destroy a part of the evil people.However, in such an environment, people who commit evil deeds will continue to emerge.Therefore, people today need compassionate education in Buddhism.In fact, Buddhist concepts can not only bring happiness in this world, but also have a decisive effect on the happiness in life and life, so we should cherish it like a treasure.

Fortunately, although the Buddha has entered Nirvana, many of the good teachers who have emerged from the Buddha are still promoting Buddhism in the world, and sentient beings still have the opportunity to receive Buddhist education.In the Nirvana Sutra, the Buddha said: "Don't be sad. In the future, I will become a good teacher and benefit you."When the Buddha showed his nirvana, countless people and heavenly people were heartbroken and tears were hard to suppress, and Venerable Ananda was also very sad.While comforting Ananda, the Buddha promised, "Don't be sad. Although I have shown Nirvana in front of sentient beings who are always attached to the deepest, I have not left you. In the future, I will save you sentient beings with fate in the form of a good teacher."It can be seen that although we do not have the fate to see the Tathagata's honorable face in person, we still have the blessing to listen to the Dharma sounds of good teachers with Dharma appearance.Therefore, whether the good teacher shows the appearance of a saint or an ordinary person, we must regard him as the incarnation of the Buddha.
