Master Da'an: Does it also require inheritance to practice Pure Land Sect?

Chinese Master 2014-11-20

Question: Some people say that if you practice Buddhism, you cannot achieve success without inheritance. Does it also require inheritance to practice Pure Land?How to achieve it?

Answer: If you practice Buddhism, you cannot achieve success without inheritance. This view is correct in principle.No matter what kind of practice we practice, we are inheriting the teachings of Master Shakyamuni and practicing according to the principles and practice.Specifically speaking, the ways of expressing inheritance in various sects are diverse.Some pay attention to the inheritance of form (such as mantle, etc.);Some people focus on the inheritance of their spirit;Some focus on intergenerational connection;All there is is the silent response of the mind across time and space.Buddhism is alive and cannot be comprehensive.

Master Da'an: Does it also require inheritance to practice Pure Land Sect?

For example, the inheritance of Pure Land Sect focuses more on spiritual inheritance across time and space.As the master of ancient Indian Mahayana Buddhism, Nagarjuna Bodhisattva passed on the teachings of Master Shakyamuni's Pure Land, and judged the common teachings and the Pure Land Buddha's chanting method as difficult and easy paths.He praises the Western Pure Land everywhere.Master Tanluan used his spiritual wisdom to touch the Pure Land Sect spirit of Nagarjuna Bodhisattva, and used this as the basis for establishing a argument to annotate the "Sutra of Rebirth" by Bodhisattva Tianqin, which directly conveyed the heart of heaven and the compassion and wishes of Buddha's heart.Master Tanluan worships and worships Bodhisattva Nagarjuna as his deity.At the time of death, he received a dream of Bodhisattva Nagarjuna to show his rebirth. An extraordinary person can obtain an extraordinary inheritance, which is also a good story in the history of Pure Land Buddhism.

As the master of the Pure Land Buddhism in China, Master Shandao’s inheritance is also wonderful.Master Shandao made a vow to annotate the essential meaning of the "Amitabha Sutra" and define the past and present.Recite the Amitabha Sutra three times a day and recite the Amitabha Buddha thirty thousand times.In every sleeping dream, a monk often comes to teach the mysterious meaning of the "Amitabha Sutra".After the comments are finished, this monk will never be seen again. The monk in his dream may appear as Amitabha Buddha. It can be seen that the "Four Posts of the Contemplation of the Sutra" directly inherits the Buddha's will, and we should respect it as the sutra.

Master Fazhao, the fourth ancestor of the Pure Land, obtained the Pure Land inheritance of Manjushri Samantabhadra and Samantabhadra in Mount Wutai, at the Great Sage Zhulin Temple.Master Shaokang, the fifth ancestor of the Pure Land Sect, was at the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, and was inspired by Master Shandao's "Western Transformation and Dao's article".In Chang'an Shandao Yingtang, I was also reminded of the teachings of Master Shandao's image as the second ancestor to the fifth ancestor.

Master Yanshou of Yongming was enlightened and became the third generation of the Fayan Sect.However, he also took the castration piously in front of the Buddha and chose the method, and obtained the castration seven times.All good things come to the Pure Land together, and the four materials of Zen and Pure Land are the principles of the Great Treasure and the turtle mirror for practice.Master Chang of the Seven Patriarchs of the Pure Land Sect, Master Huiyuan formed a club to recite the Buddha's name, and formed a club to guide the nobles and nobles to recite the Buddha's name for rebirth and prosperity.After Master Chewu, the twelve ancestors of the Pure Land, became enlightened, he followed the sect of missing Buddha, including Manjushri and Samantabhadra, Ma Ming and Longshu, and other great masters, such as the wise, Yongming, Chu Shi, and Lianchi, all envious of returning home. Who can I dare not return home?Therefore, we will practice and promote the method of chanting Buddha's name.

Master Yin Guang, the thirteenth ancestor of the Pure Land Sect, "taken the purpose of Shandao's special practice, explains the subtle details of Yongming's materials, the middle is like a lotus pond, the skill is like a cloud valley, the Xianzhang Lingfeng (Master Huiyi), Buwu Zifu (Master Chewu)" (words by Zhou Mengyou). His Pure Land heritage is pure and upright.It is sufficient to prove that the thirteenth ancestor of the Pure Land Sect of China has the sincerity, and may receive the blessings of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, or be inspired by the spiritual responses of the previous ancestors. The above is consistent with the principles of the ancient seal of the Pure Land Sect's holy words, and the lower is the bloodline of the people of Zhendan, but it is inherited from the same lineage.

Therefore, as long as we all beings truthfully follow the saints of the Five Sutras and One Treatise on the Pure Land and the thoughts of the Chinese Pure Land patriarch, we will obtain the pure inheritance of the Pure Land Sect.Then, I firmly believe in the wishes and uphold the six-character name of Namo Amitabha Buddha, and take Amitabha Buddha as my deity as my great teacher. I will definitely be able to receive the blessings of Amitabha Buddha's vows, transcend the three realms with karma, be reborn in the Pure Land, and quickly become a Buddha.May this faith, wisdom and correct view be used as a guide to the practice of pure karma.You cannot be swayed by different interpretations, dissent views, or different actions, and sigh at the great sigh of the way to the rise and fall of the sheep.
