Chapter 20: The Foundation of Faith

If you want to cultivate the truth, you must first cultivate faith, you first establish your own roots based on the cultivation of the truth, and you want to learn to cultivate the truth, if you do not establish faith, you are not a person who cultivates the truth, even if you cultivate the Dan Dharma and obtain supernatural powers, even if your bones turn into gold, if you do not have this thing to build a foundation and establish faith, you are not a person who cultivates the truth, if you indulge in the love and hatred of the world, why not take a sword and go away with hatred, why bother to learn this truth?

If the intention of enmity and hatred is better than the intention of the true Dao, why should you come here to study? It is certainly shameful to set traps and harm others, but if you abandon your sincerity and intrigue with others, what is the difference between you and the villain? Why should you not give up your life rather than give up your Dao heart, and suffer some insults and grievances? It is true that you are wronged to work with villains, but is it easy to cultivate the true path?

If the foundation is solid, it is indeed easy to cultivate the truth, but most monks are unwilling to put more effort into the foundation, so they often complain that it is too difficult to cultivate the truth, and such people cannot achieve cultivation, isn't it the truth of the Heavenly Dao?

People who do not have faith are treacherous and ungrateful, who have learned the Dharma, forgotten their ancestors, and in turn bitten the sages a few bites, who will not be angry when they see it, not to mention the indiscriminate preaching of the Dharma, the punishment of heaven will come, and they want to educate people, and in turn, heaven and man will fight together, who can feel better in their hearts?

If you can't help it, you can take action yourself, but don't fool others into doing the same, you can control your own life, whether you want to do it or not is your own business, and if others do a felony to do it, will you follow suit? If you are willing to suffer a lot and are willing to do it, you will naturally follow your heart, and the orders of others will be the decisions of others. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Isn't it natural for everyone to be free to come and go, and who restricts whom? Those who are willing to bask in the sun will look for the sun, and those who don't want to bask in the sun will find shade? Everyone is practicing their own karma, and you may have entered the right path without retreating, but others may need to fall a few more times before they can do it, so you must know the cause and then you can follow the fate, if you don't know the cause, just keep your own heart and do it.

What's more, many evil ways in the world don't know that they are evil ways, they think that others are evil ways, they are the right path, and the karmic conditions of all living beings are different, so even if they are born in a family, the places they go to after death are different, and after more experience, they know that the world is impermanent and ordinary, and they have their own way, their parents have their parents' path, the master has the master's path, the disciple has the disciple's path, reincarnation goes back and forth, and there is no companion.

Reincarnation inside and outside, walking alone, understanding this, you will understand that the love and romance in the world is just a fantasy fairy tale country, even if you understand it, but how many people are willing to return to their original hearts? Because they are still entangled in the love of their own fantasies, they are reluctant to let go of this comfortable fantasy.

If they had foreseen it in advance, who would have dared to cultivate the Tao? Those who are selfish cannot learn the true way at once, but should learn the false way, so there is the appearance of the Tao to place their selfishness on that selfish heart.

When many people first learn the Tao, they go to the high reputation, because the people in the world respect the famous people, because the people in the world actually want to become the famous people in their hearts, so they respect the famous people, this is the greed for fame, they are greedy for this name just to enjoy the feeling of being respected, just for this little high name they have buried their youth, abandoned integrity and morality, and sold their souls, what else do they dare not sell?

An upright person looks at anyone by his own mood, I love and respect you to respect you, I am willing to give a courtesy, no matter what your reputation, I like it is like, if I don't like it, if someone has no greed for a tall reputation, he can do this, but there is half a point of greed, when they do things, they will think about it too much, they will think about it too much, they will think a lot of unnecessary things about false name and etiquette, they pay too much attention to this face, because they also covet this solemn face.

When someone gets angry, they will say, "I'll die for you!" Are you scaring others? Your life is your own decision, and if others don't cherish your life, can you blackmail others? It's useless to show it to anyone.

If it is someone you hate, he wants to disgust you, it is enough to just dangle in front of you, because you have disgust in your heart, you will be disgusted as long as you think about it, if you don't have disgust in your heart, whether he lives or dies, how can he affect you?

When parents and children threaten each other, they will force each other to death, and they have to compromise because of their feelings, this is because they covet that little bit of blood affection in their hearts, and they can't afford to let it go, so they have to throw away what they like and the other party doesn't like, so they lose a little selfishness of their own, this is because the selfishness of family affection wins.

A person who cultivates the truth would rather die than give up his Dao heart, no matter who wants to blackmail his ancestors in the eighteen generations, even if he kills himself, he will not give up his Dao heart, what is the use of forcing each other to die?

The biggest weakness of everyone is greed, if there is someone who loves each other, then catch the person you love, you have to obediently obey, even if you are a person who cultivates the truth, because the heart of love is coerced, you will naturally compromise with his heart, and the master also has weaknesses, as long as you hold the disciple, then the master will be submissive, what is the use of cultivating to a higher level? This kind of affection can still trap the immortals.

As long as there is a little entanglement or greed in the world, there is a weakness, if the demon king takes the opportunity to seize the weakness, even if you cultivate ten thousand calamities, you still have to obediently obey? Don't say that the gods are ruthless, if the gods are ruthless with you, take the heart of the Tao will be sad, take the heart of the Tao will be sad, the heart of the Tao will be sad, the heart of the sad heart and the heart of the Tao will be hateful, the heart of the Tao and life is better than death, the reincarnation of affection, the immortal is really difficult to escape.

In the sea of love, ordinary people are short-sighted, do not know that life often hangs by a thread, all kinds of weaknesses, close to death, if the foundation is not real, the good do not advance, the little good retreat, the immorality of the devil, the key, do not know, all the dust charming or cultivate real people, there is this difficulty.

Husband and wife together, dare to say that they are not lonely?

If it is two people, it is really a lonely person, if the husband is sick, the wife can not be replaced, if the wife has children, the husband can not be replaced, the woman's suffering, the man can not be replaced, the man's worries, the woman can not be replaced, when a person is old, the partner has no replacement, life and death are separated, can not live together, reincarnate in the next generation, and do not know each other, even if they are in the same bed, and different dreams, one day companion, and different thoughts, hobbies and trade-offs, there is also separation, a lifetime of companionship, really lonely, only life and death, support each other.

Friends in the world, who can't support each other? Because of the support of friends, not private, it is to find a companion, to accompany the secret line, to entrust selfishness, private affection, self-heart, all lonely, concubines, death indefinitely, do not think about the long-term, bury a life, born as a man, how to do the corresponding thing for the world!

Ode:

Born as a human being, studying for a lifetime, rejoicing in great achievements, chasing fame and fortune, expelling goodness, abandoning benevolence and righteousness, scolding morality, destroying righteousness, hurting the hearts of saints, destroying the law of saints, digging the tombs of ancestors, skinning the skins of ancestors, born as a human being, how can you be a son of man!

Knowing and knowing, it is better to be ignorant, ignorant sin is less, there is knowledge of sin, the sin of extreme evil, sitting through hell, although hell is destroyed, his sin is not destroyed, the person who knows, no virtue is sin, don't say that there is a lack of virtue, less virtue is sin, virtue is not worthy of knowing, that is, it is a great sin, but also with selfish desires, abuse of the holy word, the sin is extremely evil, leaving a hundred disasters, and causing harm to children and grandchildren, who will pity it!

When there is a human being, the sin is extremely evil, leaving a calamity to the world, the sages weep, forsaken the Holy Communion, descend to the world, preach Orthodoxy, relieve the evil and dissolve the sin, what is the virtue of the other person, disturb the sages, what is the virtue of the world, see the sages for the time being, the sins of others, not to mention a thousand eons, the tears of the sages, ten thousand eons of suffering.

What will be the matter to force the sages to death, what will be the cause, to obtain this serious crime, to be worthy of their knowledge, to be worthy of virtue, to be unworthy of virtue, to recreate evil sins, to kill their fathers and mothers, to injure their sons and grandchildren, to be virtuous, to burn the virtuous chapters, to learn from the side door, to respect the evil ways, to bow down to evil ghosts, and to cook and kill the dragon.

Blood stains Kyushu, smokes the five internal organs, wears the skin of the sage, eats the flesh of the sage, recites the words of the sage, removes the bones of the sage, sits on the sage seat, teaches the sage and sage, the ghost is the teacher, the night is respected, the gentleman's bone is worshipped, the evil spirit is offered, the son is a ghost, the ghost takes the throne, the morality disappears, and the holy weeps blood.

What will be done, for this evil deeds, with its immorality, no taboos, wanton indulgence, no evil, auspicious and hidden, phoenix flying away, evil ghosts and evil spirits, casting poison, dragons turned into snakes, turtles are boiled, no virtue is bold, destroying heaven and earth, the Jade Emperor and the king of Hades, are also deceived by others.

What a world, so bad, called seeking immortals, seeking ghosts with a solid heart, although kneeling as if coming, and deceiving the Buddha, the heart has no morality, seeking Bodhi, reciting the Buddha in the mouth, thinking of ghosts in the heart, protecting the Dharma and the god king, silently unhappy, expelling arhats, blocking Bodhisattvas, beating and scolding, vainly claiming to take refuge.

The heart is corrupted, what is the Si, the truth sees this, my heart is happy, I am despicable, it is difficult to learn Bodhi, as for the time, it is easy to see the branch, a little virtuous, that is, the Bodhisattva, the true Bodhi Dao, the palm of the hand, that is, for the Arhat, shallow respect, the fairy is really coming.

In the world of mourning, the great virtue gathers, the slight cultivation of its virtue, that is, the Ming Shengli, a little respect, face to face the Holy Emperor, cultivate righteousness, and the holy nature is educated, if there is a thin virtue, a heart of practice, three years and five years, then realize the true meaning, clear water and white lotus, the root is in the silt, the skin is yellow and the heart is white, and there is nothing to rely on.

If the root is broken, the heart will be broken, the foundation will be broken, the lotus flower will fall, if the foundation is not solid at all, it cannot withstand the erosion of silt, it cannot get subtle and clear air, the roots do not produce stems, no leaves and no flowers, and there is no fruit.

On the sixth day of the fourth month of the year of Bingshen, it was said that the matter of cultivating virtue and building the foundation and establishing faith was briefly remembered.
