"As they need, they can enter the Buddha's path, and they can give enough to them with kindness and convenience." A person who practices the bodhisattva path, whether he is a monk or a monk, is born or enters the world, and he is guided to the Buddha's path according to his needs.

Doing good deeds also requires wisdom, and generosity, vows, forbearance, diligence, and meditation all depend on Prajna, skillful and convenient. It is not easy to be skillful and convenient, we generally only talk about convenience, and convenience is the method. To save a man is to educate a man, so where do you want to send him? It is to influence him, to educate others, to be skillful, to know the method, so that he can be satisfied.

"If the Tao is immeasurable, the deeds are boundless, the wisdom is boundless, and the people are free." Now it's almost time to draw conclusions. We've talked about it for several weeks, and then we're going to talk about what Buddhism should look like, and this "way" is not the Bodhi way, it's about various principles. All kinds of paths, all kinds of methods are immeasurable and boundless, and the path set by the Mahayana Bodhisattva and the things that should be done are boundless and boundless, and there is no certain scope.

If you say that if you have to be the Buddha's way, it is no longer the Dharma, and the Dharma is harmonious and unhindered. Therefore, it is said that "if the word is immeasurable, there is no end to what you can do."

All in all, studying Buddhism is not superstition, nor is it the merit of cultivating all good dharmas. Merit is a necessary resource for cultivating the Buddha's path, and achievement comes from wisdom. Therefore, it has boundless intelligence, and it is necessary to skillfully apply various methods in order to free countless sentient beings.

"If all Buddhas are to be admired for immeasurable eons of eternity, their merits will still not be exhausted." Even if all Buddhas (who are not yet bodhisattvas) go through immeasurable eons and praise a Mahayana bodhisattva for how to save people's merits, it is inexhaustible.

Some time ago, a Taoist friend asked me that he wanted to give a gift to the king of Thailand and prepared a precious statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, but he was worried that Thailand was a country of Theravada Buddhism and might not be suitable.

I said that it is okay to send Guanyin Bodhisattva in Southeast Asia, but if he first counted the number of hands of the Bodhisattva statue, he counted sixteen first, and then counted again, and it was eighteen.

I said, you are mistaken, this should be the statue of Zhun Ti Bodhisattva, not Guanyin Bodhisattva.

I couldn't talk to him about it at the time. In the evening, when he came to my house, I happened to have a copy of the 500 Arhats I had just bought, so I handed it to him and used it to give it to the King of Thailand. After thinking about it again, such a gift was afraid that it would be too thin, so I found a Chinese copy of the "Renwang Protector of the Country" Prajnaparamita Sutra, which is equivalent to complimenting the King of Thailand as Renwang. Such a match, just right.

Even such a small thing, it is necessary to apply intelligence. Don't learn Buddhism into a paste, chanting and worshipping the Buddha all day long, those are just preliminaries to the Dharma. The true Dharma is in the world, and when you speak, behave, and behave in the world, there is nothing that you don't use your heart, and there is nothing you don't do with your heart, you have to use it skillfully and conveniently.

The Vimala Sutra says, "If the path is immeasurable", you recite the "Dharma immeasurable vow to learn" every day, and you should learn and understand the outer ways and demons, so that you can educate the outer ways and demons. The Mahayana bodhisattva path is not to take a narrow path.

"Whoever hears the Dharma is like this, does not develop bodhichitta, and does not have a good person except for him, and there is no wisdom in the world." That's why Vimala lay spoke for so much that he came to the conclusion that whoever listens to such a teaching, and doesn't develop bodhichitta is really not human.

When you write to your parents, you have to call yourself unfilial, and don't write it as unfilial, which is the self-title of a person whose parents have died.

To call oneself unworthy is to describe oneself as not as good as one's parents and unworthy of being their children.

You can also write to your teacher and call yourself a bad student. The Vimala Sutra is written here that it is not like a person, that is, it is not like a person, what is it that is not like a person? You don't have to answer. Such a person is also a poor man who is stubborn and unwise, and to have mercy on him is not to give up on him.

This is the end of this long verse, which is the center of the Vimala Sutra, so pay more attention.

In addition, I will talk about this Vimala Sutra for too long, and I will talk a lot about the mess, and I will introduce you to the practice and all aspects of knowledge. Now take this opportunity to review.
