Let's talk about the trip to the Pure Land. When you see the Pure Land, it is easy to think of the popular Pure Land sect and chant the Dharma. The principle is the same, but the principle is different. All Buddhism is cultivating the Pure Land, but don't think of the Pure Land as a land or a world or a country, and the concept of the Pure Land in Mahayana Buddhism should be clear. What is the Pure Land and what is the Buddha Kingdom, don't be led to the concept of form by two words, that is, burying the spirit of the Dharma.

Buddha said: Treasure sentient beings and the like are bodhisattvas and Buddha lands. So what? Bodhisattvas take the land of Buddha according to the beings they incarnate, and it is easy to imagine it as the idea of an emperor ruling the land. Buddha land and pure land are the realm of Buddha. The Buddha said that all sentient beings are the Buddha land of the Bodhisattva.

Sentient beings and bodhisattvas are opposite, sentient beings have not attained enlightenment, have not yet found the root of their own lives, have not yet seen the nature of their minds, and are bodhisattvas on earth. A bodhisattva is a being who has already seen the nature of his mind and is practicing but has not yet fully attained his home. For example, we are in good spirits today, our bodies are not sick, our feelings and thoughts are very pure, and we feel safe and happy. But this peace and happiness is relative to the days when the body and mind are unhealthy, and there is no peace and unhappiness. Therefore, the realm of sentient beings is the realm of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and the root of the realm of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas lies in all sentient beings. If there are no sentient beings, there is no such thing as becoming a Buddha, and there is no need to become a Buddha. If there are no afflictions, there is no need to ask for liberation. All sentient beings have greed, ignorance, ignorance, suspicion, wisdom, stupidity, and all kinds of different root organs, and all bodhisattvas establish their Buddha land according to the different root nature of sentient beings. For example, sentient beings are similar to Amitabha Buddha's aspirations, forms, and actions, and they are reborn in the Western Paradise because of their fate. However, there are also sentient beings who are not close to the wishes held by Amitabha Buddha, and their karma is not compatible, so they may choose the Oriental Glazed Light Buddha Land. All sentient beings have different roots, and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have different ways of teaching, and the realm of the Buddha land is also different.

All bodhisattvas themselves attain a state of detachment, subjectivity, prejudice, and absolute selflessness. With the different root organs of sentient beings, the ways to subdue their delusions are different, and the established Buddha land realm is also different. Subjugation is the means of subjugation and subjugation of the Dharma, which is used in a variety of ways, such as joy, laughter, anger, scolding, etc.

Look at what kind of Buddha realm sentient beings should enter, and guide them and educate them into the wisdom attainment of Buddhahood. Wisdom in Buddhism is empirical work. The Lotus Sutra talks about the four methods of opening, revealing, enlightening, and entering, which are four different means of practice: "opening the Buddha's knowledge, showing the Buddha's knowledge, realizing the Buddha's knowledge, and entering the Buddha's knowledge", but is there one that comes first or the other? I don't think it's a problem, but there have always been Buddhist scholars who have argued about the order of the practice of Buddhism and made it a study of thinking.

This verse is equivalent to what the "Lengyan Sutra" says: "Follow the hearts of all beings, and we should know the quantity", our self-nature is pure and natural, and it pervades the Dharma realm, and there is no way to do it. All sentient beings have different karma and different perceptions, forming all kinds of thoughts, emotions, personalities, and root organs of sentient beings, and the ontology is the same, and all the differences are the differences of sentient beings' self. It is equivalent to a bucket of water, some people take a spoonful to make wine, and some people take a spoonful to make vinegar, but the water nature is the same. Because sentient beings have these differences, the teachings of the Dharma should be "according to the wisdom of all sentient beings who should enter the Buddha's wisdom," and the Buddha "takes the Buddha's land" according to his convenience. Therefore, the Western Elysium is a Buddha land for the attainment of paramita by Amitabha Buddha Avalokiteshvara and so on, not for themselves, but for the sake of the place where destined beings should be reborn. The world of the Oriental Medicine Master is the Buddha land established by the Medicine Master Nyorai for the corresponding sentient beings of the root organs, "according to the hearts of all sentient beings, and the amount that should be known".

In the same way, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in this world also teach sentient beings "according to the minds of sentient beings," according to the amount you know. Some people have small roots and small roots, which is equivalent to a small grass, and when they encounter heavy rain, not only will the grass not be able to live, but even the roots will drift away, and they will not be able to stand Dafa. The roots of the big tree are large, and they do not move under the strong wind and rain, but the branches and leaves are more lush when they are moistened. Therefore, the roots of all sentient beings are different, "what country should be", with what realm of Buddha land, to educate and cultivate their good roots, to give birth to the roots of bodhisattvas, and to take the Buddha land. It is very painful to educate sentient beings, and some sentient beings are the root instruments of the manifest teachings, so they are limited to the manifest teachings and cannot receive the esoteric teachings. Some of them are esoteric root vessels, and they don't want to listen to the teachings when they tell him; Those with Hinayana root apparatus cannot receive Mahayana; Those who are rooted in the outer path cannot believe in the Dharma, and must be tempted by the outer path. Education is to induce, to cultivate good roots, to turn him back in the outer path. This is the convenience of the Bodhisattva's teachings, and it is no wonder that all the Buddhas greet each other when they meet: "Is there less sickness and less trouble?" Is it easy for sentient beings? ”

Where do you start to learn Buddhism? Where to put roots? Where do you find the Pure Land? If you want to become a Buddha, you can't do without all sentient beings, so you must first learn to be a human being. I don't get along well with others, and I still want to save sentient beings? I want to become a Buddha and see that everyone is a wrongdoer, and I am jealous of others, is this a good root? It's a demonic way. You say that you are an asura with a big heart, do you have the ability and merit of an asura? Can you be angry and calm the world?
