In order to educate sentient beings with a small foundation, Mahayana bodhisattvas conveniently manifest their shravaka bodies, but after all, they are taking the great path of Mahayana. It's like a great college professor who is willing to demote his position and become a kindergarten teacher, who can teach children great things that they have never heard before.

"Manifest into the Buddha of the Buddha, and achieve great compassion and educate sentient beings", this is the same principle as the previous sentence.

Pizhi Buddha is a transliteration of Sanskrit, which means Yuanjue, and is sometimes translated as Dujue.

When no Buddha is born, even the sutras do not exist, and because of the practice of many lifetimes and eons, he can achieve it by karma, such as seeing falling leaves, hearing the sound of water, etc., so that he realizes the Tao and becomes enlightened without a teacher, and is alone in the world.

His level is higher than the shravaka, and the plane of attaining emptiness is greater than the shravaka. For more details, you will go to the Lotus Sutra class, and you will have it all. Therefore, strictly speaking, the Buddha can be regarded as a self-employed man, and the average Arhat can only be regarded as a high-level ordinary man.

Speaking of this, I remembered that many years ago in Keelung, there was a Taoist friend who had passed away, and he must take me to see Fuluan, and it is said that the monk Jigong has appeared.

When I went there, they were opening a sand table, and it turned out that my name was actually written, and a poem was written. Keelung is famous for its rains, and the poem reads:

The drizzle is cloudy, the evening is clear, and the corner of the sea and mountains is looking for a soulmate

At that time, people did not know Yu Xinle, and he stepped on broken shoes to visit today

After writing, the pen stopped writing, and they said that Jigong was gone. This poem seemed to praise me, and the people present were a little surprised, so I said nonsense. Today, the lady of the Taoist friend came to see me, so I remembered this paragraph. In fact, only a small part of the story of the monk Jigong written in the novel is true, and most of it is not his, but the story of the monk Shizhigong of Emperor Wu of Liang. But to this day Jigong monk is well-known at home and abroad, there are Jigong altars in Europe and the United States, in some places as soon as Fuluan comes up, they immediately want wine, sometimes the wine glass is served on the Luan altar and it is dry. Do you think that's really the case? If I were here, I would definitely curse the devil, and he would not dare to drink.

In the West Lake Lingyin Temple, there is a statue of a monk who respects Jigong, and he also holds a wine glass in his hand. In the past, a glass of wine was offered to him at the temple every day, and it was dried up the next day. Later, a senior monk came to the temple, and he wanted to strictly enforce the precepts, so he went to the statue and scolded: If you don't follow the rules when you are alive, you have to offer wine when you leave, cancel it! Monk Jigong actually gave a dream to all the monks in the temple at night, saying that the old monk scolded right, don't offer wine in the future! This is a story that has been passed down in Lingyin Temple. Monk Jigong is actually a great bodhisattva, but he deliberately manifests the body of the Buddha, as the "Guanyin Bodhisattva Pumen Pin" said, "the person who should be measured by what body should be presented", is the same reason.

"Showing poverty, and having a treasure hand with endless merit." Many young people often ask, how can a monk or lay family learn Buddhism?

Now the words of this scripture tell us the image and method of learning Buddhism. He said that the Mahayana Bodhisattva usually shows that he is very poor, and although he has no money on him, he can give away his wealth at any time to give to others, which is the hand of treasure. There is a method in Tantra called Vajra, where after repairing, you put your hand into a box and take as much gold and silver as you want. The real meaning of this verse is that even though the bodhisattva path is poor himself, he can give anything for the sake of others. Bodhisattvas should be able to use money at any time without worrying about how they got it, and they must have many lives and calamities to give immeasurable merits.
