Su Wen told Lu Ye about the White Lotus Sect, and then he didn't ask any more. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After returning to the monastery, he summoned more than a dozen people such as the administration, as well as the mirror and the precepts, and passed on their ideas of one view.

Xingzheng and the others turned out to be pickpockets in the East China Sea, and their temperament can be imagined. After half a year of living in the temple, it has improved a lot. However, there are still many problems in his body, and he is much worse than other monks who first studied Buddhism and then devoted themselves to the Pure Heart Temple.

As for Xingjing, Xingjie, Xinglu and others, it can be seen from their entry that they were all received after losing the battle with Su Wen. Their anger and contention are greater than ordinary people's.

Therefore, although Su Wen did not teach them impure views, he was ready to teach them another method - compassion views.

This contemplation is not practiced. When passing it on to them, Suwen can also take the opportunity to practice.

Because it was already winter, there was no farm work to be done in the temple. There aren't many things that the monks in the temple need to do other than daily cleaning, so it's time to work hard to practice.

It was the afternoon, and the monks who had practiced impure meditation had already gone back to practice.

Su Wen sat on the podium, and there were more than a dozen people sitting below, such as Xingzheng, Xingjing, and Xinglu.

Now that everyone knows about the impure view that Su Wen passed on to those 20 people, after being recruited by Su Wen this time, they all have speculations in their hearts, but they don't know what the abbot wants to pass on to them.

After everyone sat down, Su Wen spoke: "Today I will pass on your thoughts on a view, which is called the concept of compassion. ”

"As the name suggests, this contemplation is to observe the suffering and pitiful appearance of all sentient beings, and to stop being angry with compassion."

"'Be compassionate for yourself', we say this mantra every day. However, if we go further into what compassion really means, not everyone understands it, including you. ”

Su Wen looked at the people below and said slowly:

"The Lotus Yishu says: 'Compassion is to remove suffering and happiness.'" Although there are countless methods and teachings in the three Tibetan and twelve parts of my Buddhism, they are all based on compassion. 'Compassion' is the bodhisattva's 'essence of transformation', and all dharma is magic if it is separated from compassion.

The Mirror of the Sect says: 'Taking bodhichitta as the cause and great compassion as the foundation is convenient for the practice of supreme bodhi. ’

Bodhisattvas have great compassion because of sentient beings, they grow Bodhi because of great compassion, and they achieve the path of Buddhahood because of Bodhi. If a bodhisattva sees the suffering of sentient beings and does not arouse compassion, and then seeks to transform and remove suffering and happiness, he will not be able to attain the bodhi path, so compassion is a necessary condition for a bodhisattva to become a Buddha.

Compassion is not the patent of my Buddhism, compassion is the wealth shared by all sentient beings, and because of compassion in the world, life is full of infinite meaning;

In the turbulent years of life, because of compassion, the future has infinite hope.

Compassion is the source of all things, compassion is Buddha nature, and with compassion, all living beings become Buddhas. ”

When Su Wen said this, everyone was solemn and listened attentively to the words that came out of Su Wen's mouth.

In fact, there is no book in this world that summarizes the gains and losses of Buddhism before the Song Dynasty, but no one cares about it at this time.

Xinghui took out a voice recorder on the side to record Su Wen's narration.

Sometimes he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to remember the lecture, so he prepared such a voice recorder, which he used at this time.

Su Wen continued to speak slowly:

"Compassion is not a failure to fight back, scolding and not returning the mouth, when justice is ruthlessly suppressed and excluded, when a righteous man and a gentleman are subjected to unwarranted slander, to be able to stand up, this is a kind of brave and positive compassion.

Compassion requires wisdom, and compassion is not a momentary compassion, and the Mahasadhana says, 'Compassion is wisdom, and wisdom is compassion.' There is no reason and no thought, covering everything; Let luck pull out the hardship, nature and happiness. ’

Compassion is to help others through the movement of justice, compassion is not to dance with the crowd, but to serve and help others with righteous thoughts; Compassion is not selfish for the benefit of relatives and friends, nor is it for the benefit of others, the highest state of compassion is to resent relatives and equals, selfless and selfless benefit to sentient beings.

Compassion is not a fixed point, but the continuous sublimation of emotions, the Huayan Sutra of "I wish all sentient beings to be free from suffering, not to seek happiness for themselves", this kind of "to the world's worries for worry, to the world's joys for the joy" of the mind, is compassion.

Compassion is also a condition that should be possessed by a human being, a person would rather have nothing, but not without compassion!

Some people say that compassion is love, but love in the world is polluted and cannot be handled properly, but it can become a source of suffering and trouble.

The Records of Guanyin Xuanyi says: 'Compassion is a vow. Compassion is purified love, sublimated love, selfless and wise service, unrequited giving, a wish to fulfill the other, a combination of love, wisdom, willingness, and generosity, which is compassion.

Compassion is the morality that oneself practices, not the measure of others, and true compassion is not necessarily a pleasant praise and encouragement.

Most people know about compassion, everyone says compassion, and even practices compassion themselves, but they don't necessarily have a thorough understanding of the meaning and level of compassion.

For example, when someone has done something that undermines the common good and harms others, and he has to be punished, some people will intercede for him and say, 'Have mercy on him!' Compassion has changed from forgiveness and tolerance to appeasement and connivance, which is a misinterpretation of the meaning of compassion. ”

Su Wen paused for a moment and finally said, "Compassion is the source of all things, and the reason why the world makes us fall in love is because there is compassion in the world. ”

When Su Wen's voice stopped in the lecture hall, everyone was thinking back to Su Wen's words.

"Xinghui, do you have anything to ask?" Su Wen saw that Xinghui was about to speak below, so he spoke.

Xinghui first saluted Su with a salute, and then sat up straight and asked, "Abbot, you said, 'Sometimes using the power of Vajra to subdue demons and subdue evil is even more difficult to do. That is, when someone commits evil deeds, we have to stop them. But if the situation is critical, will it cause the other party to die? ”

Su Wen understood the meaning of Xinghui's words. In Buddhism, the fundamental rule is not to kill.

Because all beings in the six realms are equal. Both good and evil are equal.

Su Wen thought for a moment and said, "Compassion is deep and shallow. When you reach the second level of bodhisattvas, everything you see is illusory, born of fate. But you can't get to this level yet, so I can tell you: killing a robber can save thousands of people, and killing seems to be uncompassionate, but in order to save more people, it is actually practicing great mercy. ”

Xinghui thought for a while, bowed down and said, "Thank you Abbot for relieving your doubts." ”
