The full name of the Water and Land FA Association is the Dharma Realm Shengfan Water and Land Pudu Lent Victory Meeting, which is the most grand and grand FA meeting in Han Buddhism. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The water and land fahui will be based on the above offerings to the Buddhas and sages of the ten directions, and the fasting of the non-jab, to save all sentient beings in the six realms, and set up mandalas extensively, so that the participating senthuans can have their causes and root instruments, and go to the altars to listen to the scriptures and hear the Dharma. Therefore, the range of sentient beings to be offered and saved in the puja is quite extensive, so it is a collection of many incredible and special merits for the elimination of disasters, purification, upper offerings, and lower alms.

It was business as usual that morning, with few clouds in the sky.

Su Wen asked Dao Yan a few days ago, and these days are all sunny. In this regard, Daoyan may be more useful than the weather forecast.

Wake up early and do morning classes normally, this is everyone's daily practice, and it will not be shaken easily.

There were many more people that morning than usual, and most of those who had already registered for tablets were nearly a thousand, and there were still people who kept climbing up the mountain. At the bottom of the mountain, you can see that the white stone steps are full of people.

In front of the main hall, on both sides of the mountain gate, even on the stone bridge were people, more than a dozen thirteen to fifteen-year-old children and Yilong and others were struggling to maintain order in the crowd, if it were not for the expansion of the Pure Heart Temple, it would not be able to accommodate these people at all. Qin Lao and those old monks all crowded into the crowd to watch the scene of thousands of birds gathering on the main hall, and from time to time there were people who had just arrived around to exclaim.

There are also rabbits, weasels, squirrels and other small beasts, although the temple is so crowded, these small beasts look a little scared, still vigilantly watching the crowd, crowded around the wall of the main hall.

Although Qin Lao had already heard about it, he was still surprised when he saw it with his own eyes. I have seen a lot of things over the years, and this is the first time I have seen this kind of bird and beast come to listen to the lecture.

However, this also proves that there are indeed masters in the Pure Heart Temple, and I don't know how many there are. Thinking of the Huaisu he had seen that day, Qin Lao shook his head. Although he doesn't understand the Dharma, he can also see that he is an "idiot" person, and he may be good at cultivating the Dharma, but he is not yet at the level of a master.

Pudu sentient beings, sure enough, Pudu sentient beings. All within the Three Realms and Six Realms come to listen to the Fa, this Pure Heart Temple is amazing.

In recent years, Taoism has become more and more arrogant, and the royal family has long been dissatisfied. The rise of this Pure Heart Temple may be an opportunity.

When the morning class was finished, it rained white in the sky as scheduled, but fortunately there was no situation in the first two times, and hundreds of umbrellas were opened together, and the scene was extremely spectacular. Some people who did not bring umbrellas were also reminded to hide under the mountain gate or the main hall.

Su Wen is also helpless about the "white rain", after all, birds are rectum, and it is not easy to stay in the main hall for an hour without leaving traces, and then let them go outside the temple to solve this matter, Su Wen can't do it.

At this time, there were more people in the temple, and it was more noisy, everyone didn't speak loudly, but more than a thousand people gathered together, and the voices gathered together, and the sound was not small, and the voices in front could be heard in the backyard.

After breakfast, everyone changed into robes and came out.

Su Wen looked at everyone and didn't say much. His eyes circled around everyone's faces, and he said, "Let's start." ”

The group followed Su Wen to the front of the main hall.

As soon as everyone in the front yard saw Su Wen and others coming, they shouted one after another: "It's coming, it's coming, it's going to start." ”

Everyone's eyes were on Su Wen and the others.

Su Wen walked in front without changing his face, and nodded slightly at everyone with a smile.

The Xingzheng and others in the back were a little numb. With the nature of their original profession, when have they been watched by so many people.

Su Wen led people to the front of the main hall, facing everyone, and Xingzheng next to him immediately handed over a microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, be quiet. ”

After listening to Su Wen's words, the scene was somewhat quieter, although there were still some noises, but it was not as noisy as just now.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a few more things to say before the FA meeting. ”

Everyone looked at Su Wen, waiting to see what he had to say.

Qin Lao, He Baichuan, He Xiaorou and others have dealt with each other.

Qin Siyue was also mixed in, because the police station was afraid that there would be some chaos when so many people gathered together, and a few of them were involved.

Some of the believers who had listened to Su Wen's sermon looked at Su Wen with admiration.

There are still many people who have never dealt with Su Wen, and they all look at this young face, and in ordinary people, he is the abbot who has just graduated from college.

Yunhai took his two junior brothers, dressed in robes, and was in a trance in the mountain gate, and the scenes of his past over the years appeared in his mind. But he was awakened by Su Wen's words, and looked at Su Wen in the distance through the crowd from the mountain gate.

Su Wen looked around at the people in front of him and slowly spoke: "Fellow initiates, lay people, and good hearts, today with special karma, everyone gathers here to participate in the transcendent puja. Before the official start of the puja, I will say a few words, these days people always ask me, why don't you pray for the living to eliminate disasters and prolong life, then I will explain why this Fa meeting only saves the dead.

Those who have studied Buddhism know that everyone bears their own cause and effect, and the karma of all living beings is incredible, and if you don't repent and become enlightened, the Buddhas will not be able to save you. Therefore, the important thing in studying Buddhism is to be self-conscious, to be enlightened on your own, and not to expect others to save you.

As for praying for the blessings of the living, if the person who presides over the Dharma really has the Tao, it is indeed useful. And the usefulness is to promote your good causes and good karma to mature in advance and enjoy good fortune in advance. But there is a day when the merit is missing, there will always be a day when you will enjoy it, and if you create sinful karma while enjoying the blessings, it will end faster, and the blessings will be all the same, and then you should suffer hardships. Therefore, this usefulness does not solve the fundamental problem, it is fake, not real.

The point of the Dharma is to tell you how to become enlightened, how to be free from all kinds of problems, and how to be free from suffering and be happy. Whether you want to do it after knowing the method is your own business. ”

Everyone listened to Su Wen's words, some looked serious, some hesitated, and some were somewhat unconvinced.

Qin Lao nodded in it, although he didn't understand Buddhism, he also felt that Su Wen's words made sense. Whether it is in practice or in doing things, self-reliance and self-improvement are the most important. Counting on the help of others will not yield anything in your life.

"To study the Dharma, first of all, you have learned a sound personality, a personality that stands up to the heavens and the earth, and you want to rely on others for everything in your heart, how can you become enlightened? Can one of the 84,000 Dharma be achieved by relying on others? Some people may say, "When I recite the Buddha to seek the Pure Land, rely on the blessings of the Buddha's teachings, and rely on the Buddha's great wishes to guide me, isn't it just relying on others to achieve it?"

Let me tell you, people who think like this will never be able to go to the Pure Land for the rest of their lives. ”

Su Wen's words landed, and the following immediately began to be noisy. In this world, Zen Buddhism is almost cut off from inheritance, Tiantai Buddhism is extremely difficult to get started, Tantra is extremely difficult to go deep without inheritance, and the rest of the sects are mostly in decline and cumbersome to practice. Therefore, the Pure Land sect has the largest number of followers and the most widespread spread, and all those who believe in Buddhism know that the Buddha is reborn in the Pure Land, and the impact of this sentence on everyone can be imagined.

Su Wen's voice was raised: "Why? The "Mida Sutra" clearly tells you that the Mida Pure Land is a gathering place for all good people. Compare the three blessings of pure karma in the Sutra of Amitayus: the first is to be filial to one's parents, to serve one's teachers, to be compassionate and not to kill, and to cultivate the ten good karmas, the second is to take the three refuges, to have sufficient precepts, and not to commit any pretenses, and the third is to develop bodhichitta and believe in cause and effect, to recite the Mahayana and to persuade those who carry it out. How many can you do? Although reciting the Dharma is an easy path, you need to cooperate with others with your own strength, thinking that you can die by reciting a few words of the Buddha's name every day with a scattered mind?

Therefore, the Pure Heart Temple does not pray for the living, because it does not want to harm everyone. Don't think about enjoying happiness, enjoying happiness is eliminating happiness, you have to endure hardships and cultivate happiness, you have to ask for enlightenment, and you have to work hard for yourself.

Why do we want to surpass our ancestors? To put it mildly, there are many people in the world who fall into the three paths after the end of their lives, and there are few people who are born in heaven. The purpose of transcending the ancestors is also to ripen the seeds of goodness in their alayas as soon as possible, so that they can leave the three paths early and then gain human rebirth, or they can encounter the Dharma on the three paths and be liberated quickly. The ancestors who have already been reborn in the two realms of human beings and heavens also give them a little Buddhahood, hoping that they will hear the Dharma as soon as possible, transcend the Three Realms as soon as possible, and attain nirvana. ”

Su Wen threw the words here, regardless of the reactions of the people below, and handed the microphone to Xingzheng.

The time has come to begin the water and land puja.

At this time, the applause below rang out, first sparsely, and then everyone applauded.

The face of Yun Hai outside the venue was cloudy, and if Su Wen's words were spread out today, it would inevitably have an impact on other temples. Not to mention anything else, he alone has to do at least two water and land meetings every year to pray for the living, eliminate disasters and prolong life. You must know that the sponsor who prays for blessings and longevity is one of the biggest sources of money for the FA Society, how can you let Su Wen cut off this way.

Drinking at the mountain gate at the moment, "ridiculous"

At this time, the applause just stopped, everyone was quiet, and Su Wen was just about to announce the start of the FA meeting, which attracted everyone's attention.
