Dr. Berkson paused for a moment and then said slowly, "I have personally seen an elder who sat with his eyes open, without food or clothing, without entry or exit, without lying down, for months. The number of disciples who followed him www.biquge.info also amounted to hundreds. After hearing the news, I brought enough dry food and looked at it carefully and curiously for nearly a month.

Thus the rude habits of arrogance, impudence, and ignorance that I had brought with me from Europe were gone.

I once met an old man in the depths of Vulture Mountain. He said: 'European scholars are narrow-minded and refuse to pass on their academic ideas and research to us, thinking that this will make us rigid in our minds and wisdom, and thus destroy our Indian culture and our Indian race. They know that the wisdom and treasures of the Indians are far richer than those of European academic thought, ten million times richer! You don't teach me, and I don't teach you. We have our own inexhaustible treasures, our own incredible effects, which you cannot hope for. ’

The old man said, 'I have asked you to broaden your horizons and open your faith today, and I want to take you to a place that ordinary people cannot reach, do you want to go?' I readily agreed.

So, I followed the old man straight into the mountains. Before reaching a cliff, the old man struck the cliff three times with his palm, and the cliff stone cracked open in response to the sound, becoming a gate. The cave was pitch black. The old man stepped in, and I ventured to follow.

walked a few steps, but I felt that the light was gradually rising, and the bottom of my heart was cool and refreshing; Happiness and joy have never been had.

As I looked around, there was a loud bang and the cliff gate closed. The door was closed, but the light was still there. After walking for a mile, I arrived at a luxurious mansion that was vast and strict and seemed to be boundless.

The steps of the wall Chen Zhu, the doors and windows are all made of the seven treasures of colored stones, magnificent. The building is exquisitely crafted, ingenious and beautiful. There are a lot of books in the house, some of which are about celestial images and earth bodies, and some are about heaven and earth figures, divine consciousness and spirituality, and cultivation methods...... This book is broad and profound, subtle and mysterious. Compared with the great achievements of European and American academic thought, it is simply overshadowed!

The most strange thing for me is that after the rock gate is closed, there is no fire in the cave, where does the light come from? And this light gives unspeakable peace of mind.

The old man seemed to know what was in my heart, and said, 'What do you suspect?' This is my pure land, and the light is my source. You and I have a master-apprentice relationship in this life. Knowing that you are ripe, you should witness the holy fruit in this life, and specially come to save you and enlighten your faith. Well, you can go back! ’

The rock door opens automatically and the hole emerges.

I was very respectful and asked who the old man was, and I replied, 'Go to the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, swear to be a monk, wear a robe, follow the shaman, and be a disciple of the Buddha, and you will know later that you will be able to meet more in the future.' When he finished, he was invisible.

At this time, I had lived in India for three years, and at the behest of the old man, I went to the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Burma, to worship in a circumambulation, and swore to myself: I, Berkson, will return to the Buddha from today onwards, and will never return to the gods and ghosts;

I, Berkson, have always returned to the Dharma from this day, and will never return to the foreign scriptures;

I, Berkson, have been returning to Buddhism and monks since today, and will never return to foreign disciples, evil friends and evil parties;

I, Berkson, from this day, live as long as I can, and do not kill;

I, Berkson, from this day onwards, live as long as I can, and do not steal;

I Berkson, from today, to the end of life, not to ****** me Berkson, from today, to the end of life, not to lie;

I, Berkson, have lived a long life from this day onwards, and have not drunk alcohol;

I, Berkson, have lived a long life from this day, never eating twice a day, sitting for a long time, not growing hair, and not accumulating treasures. And the old man of the Eagle Mountain is the teacher, the hair is removed, the dome is barefoot, the robe is draped, the monk's bowl is held, the village and city beggar, and the mountain and forest feast sits. Deeply believe in cause and effect, uphold the precepts, and practice the 37 qualities diligently.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have attained the first Goa Arhat in meditation and have been awarded and certified by my master. The teacher also said, "Soon I will be certified as a Four Goa Arhats." I now know that my teacher is Venerable Mahakya, one of the ten disciples of Shakyamuni.

Europeans and Americans only know how to pursue and enjoy, and they are swayed by the changes of events, although they have exposed intelligence, but they have no insight to see, which is really pitiful. Therefore, I came back in the hope that all of you who are wise and brave will be able to hear the Dharma and travel together in the supreme and true way. Soon, I will return to the Pure Place of My Master, and I ask you to cherish this rare human life and not to leave it empty. I have become a monk, so please stop calling me a doctor, just call me a Bhikshu of Burxen. ”

(Note: Bhikkhu Berkson was ordained in Yangon, and his photos of hair loss, begging, feasting, and pagodas can be found in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Japan.) It was also made into postcards for circulation. Venerable Shanhui of Lingquan Temple in Keelung, Taiwan, once met Brickson Picchu)

After hearing this, some of the wise men immediately expressed acceptance, some doubted and pondered, and some were unhappy and wanted to argue.

Dr. Satyr said, "Birks, you seem to be unsatisfied, can you give us the simplest and most concise account of your own beliefs, interpretations, actions, and testimonies, especially the truths you have attained. ”

Burkson said, "Good! Dr. Sa, your question is very good, and I answer it truthfully. What I have cultivated and proved is unique and extinguished, and it is ultimately complete. The so-called destruction of the heart and deeds, and the breaking of language, which cannot be described and expressed in words. Listening to the supreme, profound and subtle Dharma, it will make you feel like a great drought encountering a rainstorm, drowning in a sea and encountering a boat, darkness seeing light, a forest lost and being rescued, and a dying patient encountering a life-saving medicine.

Buddhism says: Everyone has Buddha nature. All human beings have an eternal physical and spiritual life of 'life from birth to death, from death to life, from life to life, and from death to death'.

People will receive different rewards according to the different karma they have created. If you create karma that does not kill, steal, commit adultery, or lie, you will be born. Creating negative karma such as killing, stealing, and lying and degenerating into livestock, hungry ghosts, and hell. Good and evil cause and effect, retribution is not unpleasant, and it is not bad at all. Karma is continuous, karmic results are not ambiguous, and there is no beginning and no end.

Therefore, the karma is retributed and the three lives are circulated, and the cycle of life and death in the six realms is endless. In the universe, the world is immeasurable and all living beings are endless, which is the truth of life and the universe. ”

Astronomer Opal said, "No! I don't think there are other worlds, and there are no immortals, ghosts, and gods. When a person dies, he is dead, and there is no rebirth, no reincarnation, and no reincarnation, bitterness, happiness, sin, and retribution! You say that there is an eternal life in life, but I don't believe it! ”

"You study astronomy," said Berkson, "and the sun, the moon, the stars, and the earth in space. Or the celestial realm? ”

Opal replied, "The earth is the human world, and the planets of the void are another world. ”

Burkson said: "The universe is infinite, and human wisdom has an extremely limited understanding of the universe, which is extremely unreasonable and unscientific. According to Buddhism, there is no such thing as a cause, everything must have a cause and a cause. Everything is born of causes. If it is the cause, if it is the effect, the retribution of good, evil, suffering and happiness is absolutely true.

After death, everything is reduced to nothingness, and this kind of argument is dismissed by Buddhism as 'cessation of emptiness', which is an evil view, an evil view. We must never have such evil knowledge and wrong views, and we must absolutely give up such thoughts, otherwise we will do ourselves great harm and we will not be able to see the truth. ”

Henry Snow, a doctor of law, said: "Birkson Bhikkhus, you say that there are past lives and afterlives, and there are sins and blessings in rebirth, but I still can't believe it. I have a cousin with whom I have been the most compatible since I was a child. When he was dying, I told him: 'If you do any evil, you will surely go to hell.' You and I are dearest, I trust you, and if you go to hell, you must come back and tell me. The cousin promised to die soon. But three years have passed, and there has been no news. Moreover, there has never been a person who has fallen into hell after death and returned to report it. Therefore, this theory is not credible. ”

Berkson laughed: "You are a doctor of law, and you have a lot of legal knowledge. For example, if someone commits a serious crime in another country, he is sentenced to a heavy sentence. The prisoner pleaded with the judge, asking that he be released to return to China and that he should be punished again after saying goodbye to his relatives and friends. Doctor, will the prison officer let him back? If he is not let go, how can he come back and report? In the same way, your cousin fell into hell, how could the emperor of hell and the ghost pawn let him come back for no reason? ”

Doctor of Ethics Eggers said: "Bhikkhus, I also have a close relative, who has been kind and happy all his life, has pure morals, and has self-denial and helping others. When his life was in danger, I told him: If you are born in heaven, remember to come back and report the good news to me. He has been dead for many years and has not been heard from. ”
