We must have a repentant heart to study the "Ten Wheels of Ksitigarbha Sutra" in the sutra, called the "Two Wheels of Repentance", which means that we must repent of our past sins and purify our sins. With wisdom, you will know.The Ten Wheels of Sutra tells us what you did in the past and what suffering you will suffer now, so that we can know our sins and mistakes.
This time I studied the "Ten Wheels of Ksitigarbha Sutra of the Mahayana Collection" and I had no confidence in myself because I could not find the narratives of the ancients and the reference materials.You may say the wrong thing. The ancients have said the sutras we have said before many times. There are reference materials to refer to. If you say it wrong, you can also shirk the blame;Those great masters all said this, and it has nothing to do with me, but if others have not explained this sutra, they cannot shirk their responsibilities.
This sutra is very heavy, with a total of eight chapters and ten volumes."The Chapter of No Responsible Action" and "The Chapter of No Responsible Action" account for five volumes;Adding the previous "Preface" and the subsequent "Preface" to "Preface" and the "Preface to Entries" to "Preface to Ten Wheels", there are not many intermediate volumes.The Ten Wheels Chapter is about: using the Ten Wheels of Buddha to cure the ten wheels of ordinary people.The second is "The Repentance", "The Legend of Good and Evil Karma" and "The Legend of Futian". Although there are not many volumes, the principles in it are still very complicated.
《The Preface of the Buddha praises the merits of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the merits of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva worshiping the Buddha and praising the Buddha, so there is no general idea in the Preface of the Buddha.
We need to learn this sutra with a method.It must be combined with your daily life.This sutra tells us how to live;In daily life, don’t create karma and do wrong things again, because after doing it, you will not be able to bear it when you receive retribution and it will be very painful.If you can learn in combination with daily life, you will use the "Ten Wisdoms of Buddha" or "Ten Powers of Buddha" to transform into a Buddha.
This sutra was translated twice, once in the Sui Dynasty. Who did not know who translated it because there were shortcomings in the translation.The second time was translated by Master Xuanzang. During the Yonghui period of the Tang Dynasty, Master Xuanzang returned to China from India and 16 years later.The translations in writing are somewhat different from the "Divine Ksitigarbha Sutra" and "Discovery of Good and Evil Karma".Master Xuanzang translates according to the text and meaning.For example, "Buddha and World-Honored One" are called "Bhagavan".
《The "Preface" of the Ten Wheels Sutra" talks about Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, because this sutra mainly focuses on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva as the preacher.However, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the sutra comes with rejoicing, including Bodhisattva monks, Arhat monks and ordinary monks. Everyone gathers to talk about the "Moon Cang Sutra";When this sutra was almost finished, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva came with rejoicing, not to ask the sutra to preach.The Buddha used this cause and condition to talk about the merits of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also praised the merits of the Buddha. This is how the cause and condition of this sutra was caused.Before talking about this sutra, we talked about the "Mahayana Great Collection of Moons and Clan Sutra".As soon as the Moon Cang Sutra is completed, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva comes. Everyone can see the state of his coming in the scriptures at a glance.
The scriptures related to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: "The Sutra of the Original Vow of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the "The Sutra of the Ten Wheels of Ksitigarbha Sutra of the Mahayana Collection", the Sutra of the Retribution of Good and Evil Karma", the Sutra of the Ten Kings of Ksitigarbha", the Dharani Sutra of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the "The Supernatural Records of the Three Kingdoms", the repentance book of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and the repentance method of Ksitigarbha, these are all methods of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.As long as you understand one, others will be in touch.The "Ksitigarbha Sutra" and the "Ten Wheels Sutra" are similar, but the difference is different in the method of "transforming the karma of sentient beings".The Ten Wheels of Sutra are used to practice meditation and contemplation. The Ksitigarbha Sutra is used to create statues, repent and recite the holy name of Ksitigarbha, and to practice.The Ten Wheels Sutra initially taught you how to practice and attain "meditation". If you do not enter meditation, you will not be able to achieve enlightenment. It teaches you a method from shallow to deep.It sounds simple, but it is not that easy to use, which is the six words "counting, following, stopping, observing, turning, and purifying".
In addition to praising the merits of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also praised the Buddha.The purpose of Buddha and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva singing together is mainly to destroy our "ten evils".The ten evils are the killing, stealing, and adultery that happens to us;The false words, frivolous words, slander, and bad words that are spoken in your mouth;The ten karmas that are thought in the mind are greed, anger, and ignorance.Evil karma is also called the "evil wheel".Greed and angry in the heart, and evil views arise. Ignorance means evil views, and evil views means incomprehension, confusion, and ignorance cause are caused by "greed, anger, and ignorance".If we are not greedy, not angry, or not ignorant, it is good karma.Describing the ten good deeds is the "good wheel".The wheel is constantly moving, which means change.Why do we never stop in the six realms of reincarnation?Can never be circulated?It is because of "karma".To achieve the "ten wheels" of good deeds, is the "ten wisdom".Turning the evil of sentient beings to the "five violations and ten evils" is the most evil "ten evil wheels". The "Letter of No Responsible Action" and "Letter of No Responsible Action" also talk about this "ten evil wheels".
Let’s first talk about the “Ten Evil Wheels” of the Buddha to cure sentient beings.Because the name of this sutra is "Ten Wheels", why is it called "Ten Wheels of Ksitigarbha"?The Bodhisattva who was finally told to remember and flow and protect this sutra was the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of Void.The "Teaching Heavenly Chapter" of the "Divine Ksitigarbha Sutra" is also the Void Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.In the "Avatamsaka Sutra", Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva refers to accepting everything and containing everything.The "hidden" in the void hides means treasure."Void" is not this void, but describes him as having attained "emptiness of nature", "true heart", and the ten phases of the "Zhancha Sutra"."Void" contains all dharmas but is not empty.This sutra is told to spread and promote it.
When these ten chakras have not stopped, whether they are good or evil chakras, when will they stop?When your mind is calmed down, the Buddha and Buddha have attained the state of ten chakras and attained this "nature body", so we can achieve this goal, so it is called "Mahayana".
“The biggest one is our heart.The "Dafang Guang Buddha's Avatamsaka Sutra" also has the word "big" and the "Mahayana Lotus Sutra" also has the word "big".The word "big" indicates our mind and body.All methods, the body of the great general appearance method, is the great."Chi" is to carry. If you follow these ten good deeds, you can carry you to the ultimate "narcissification". Being able to "narcissification" is the Buddha's fruit.The meaning of "emptiness" is in Sanskrit, or "noncion";Or "silence", they all describe "emptiness".However, it does not say "empty". There is no word in Chinese. If we cannot translate it, we will use the word "empty" instead;But once we use "emptiness", we mistakenly think that it is the same as emptiness. When we talk about "emptiness", many people fall into "expiry view" and think that "emptiness" means nothing!"Empty" is not gone. "Empty" refers to "all dharmas of dependent origination". Its essence is "emptiness in nature". This "emptiness" includes all "dependent origination dharmas". How can we show this "emptiness"?How to realize this "emptiness" by using "dependence and origin"?"The origin of dependent origination and destruction" can attain this "emptiness".
“There are two explanations for the Great Collection: First, in this Dharma Assembly, there are many sentient beings gathered, how many are there?countless!You will know as soon as you read the scriptures, how many Śrāvaka monks are there?Over quantity.If it is calculated using quantity but cannot be calculated, it is called over-number.How many Bodhisattvas and monks are there?Over quantity!Anyone who talks about the Ksitigarbha Dharma has two places except for the "Sutra of the Sutra of the Great and Evil Karma": one is in the Tushita Heaven, the other is in the Seven Gold Mountains. This Mount of Karma is in the desire realm and the form realm, and is not something that ordinary people can reach.Then the place is special, and only when you gather there can you accommodate it.
All the numbers mentioned in Buddhist scriptures should not be calculated using numbers from our world, but using one, two, three, four, five, and six.How many billions, good?We cannot calculate, so when the Buddha uses the Ganges sand as a metaphor.The sand of the Ganges River, the Ganges River, seven or eight thousand miles away, are there many numbers of sand?That is not something that human intelligence can count.So in terms of numbers, you should understand it like this.
Another explanation is that if you can hear the "Ten Karmas", you can carry you, invent your mind, achieve your "nature", and achieve your "Virusana", and achieve your "Great".Therefore, these congregations collected in this Dharma Assembly are all destined people.Now we can learn this sutra together. Maybe we are the sentient beings who have not achieved success at that time and will come here, so that we will have fate. Without this fate, we will not be able to encounter it.
Everyone must learn to understand the level. How can they be considered to understand?Can be used!When you use it, there are no obstacles. When you practice visualization, there are no obstacles. The Ten Wheels of the Sutra are asked to do it.
