"To save greed, to raise the sandalwood paramita." Tanparami is the giving of paramita.

To cultivate the bodhisattva path, one must have a heart of generosity, which is the first of the six paramitas of the Mahayana bodhisattva path.

Why do we need to be giving?

It's to save greed.

We all have the habit of being stingy.

Stinginess is not saving, saving is morality, it is thrift to oneself, and generosity to others.

If I save for myself and for others, it is not morality, but miserliness, and reluctance.

The word saving is a strong word on the side of the word heart, and the heart is firmly grasped, and it is reluctant at all. Greed, yes, I want more.

All sentient beings must be greedy, and it is not easy for you to say that you can save money without saving money.

For example, I can give up everything, but I can't give up books, so when people ask me to borrow books, I don't borrow them, because there are often people who go and don't get back, and even a set of books are borrowed, and when they come back, one less book becomes a broken book.

This psychology is saving, I will tell you about self-reflection for your reference, and everyone should be vigilant.

But now I'm not afraid that people will come to me to borrow any secret books, because I have copied them all, and you can borrow ten copies from the world, and I have dozens of them. But, you see, it's still miserliness.

Therefore, to cultivate the bodhisattva path, we must first cultivate the path of generosity, and as mentioned earlier, there are three kinds of generosity: in addition to financial generosity, Dharma generosity, and fearless generosity.

Fearless charity doesn't cost money, but people can't do it.

For example, if someone is afraid of ghosts, you can teach him a way not to be afraid of ghosts, although your method may be a lie, but as long as he is not afraid, he will also be spiritual, which is also fearless generosity.

For example, if someone is in a very difficult situation and you don't have the money to help him, tell him, "I have your back!" I'll pay it back for you! ”

Actually, you're poorer than him, but, hey! This sentence saved him.

To give him spiritual support is to be fearless in generosity. For example, if someone is sick and dying, and the doctor says that his illness is terminal, I say to him, "How can you trust these doctors, they know what a! I helped you see the photo, and now when you touch your pulse, you will live for at least another ten years! It's all right!" Actually, I said nonsense, and it was good for him to listen to it, and my spell was cured.

But if you are fearless in giving to others, you must know how to be wise and convenient.

Some time ago, a fellow practitioner told me: "Oh no, something is wrong!" I'm sick and dying, don't you know? Someone, somebody, came to see me. ”

I really don't know, and he's mentally hoping that I can go see him.

The man went on to tell me that his own house had been hit by a horse-drawn carriage and that his family had almost died.

I listened to his words and almost blurted out: "Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not alone."

When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, and said, "His whole family quickly repented and recited the "Jizo Sutra", and I will send it over tomorrow and start reciting it immediately." He can live to be ninety years old, don't worry. ”

These are all ready-made stories, giving people fearlessness and making offerings to the Dharma.

"Take the precept of transgression and raise the corpse of paramita." The corpse paramita is the precept, and the corpse is the Sanskrit transliteration of the precepts.

Because of the prevention of immoral sins, the Buddha made all the precepts.

The practice of the precepts is to influence all sentient beings who have broken the precepts, so that they will not break the precepts and will send them to the other side.

Isn't it right that we should teach us to give to those who are stingy, and to teach those who are prone to breaking vows?

Right? You don't have to think that way when you become a mage in the future! You must know convenience, you have to be compassionate, convenience is the door.

The miser asks him to give his life, and he will not listen! Originally, he still believed in the Dharma, but if you teach it wrong, he won't believe it.

If you teach a miser to keep the precepts, not to spend a dime, and not to take ill-gotten gains, he will listen very well and believe in Buddhism.

After learning a certain level, he has merit and wisdom, and he is naturally willing to give.

According to the Buddhist scriptures, it will never work to teach the miserly to give alms! I've had a lot of experience.

On the contrary, it is easier to instigate a criminal to give alms, because he goes to places of public interest every day, and often spends a lot of money, and if you ask him to give some money somewhere, he will do it, so that he will gradually guide him so that he will naturally not break the vows.

Education must understand the method, don't be rigid, grasp the "to save greed, to get up to Tan Paramita", you still Tan! He's long since bounced off!

In the past, I talked about the Diamond Sutra, and the Diamond Sutra also talked about generosity, and there was a friend who had status and knowledge who came to listen to it every day, but then he stopped coming, and then I talked to other people, and they said that this person thought that I was pointing at him in class and scolding him, because he had a lot of money, and he thought that when I talked about charity, he wanted him to take out the money and give it to me.

Alas! You say, what can I do about this! These are sentient beings.

"With no self, raise the paramita." It's to endure humiliation, and you can't endure humiliation! Endure to endure liver disease.

I often say that anyone who is arrogant is a person with an inferiority complex.

The most arrogant person in the world is the one who is the emperor, and the person who is the emperor has the heaviest inferiority complex.
