Now when we look back at the sentence "The present catastrophe may be burned, the heavens and the earth are invisible", the physical world is unreliable, just as our physical body experiences birth, old age, sickness and death, and the physical world has to experience growth, dwelling, deterioration, and emptiness. A small catastrophe in the world is a small catastrophe, and a major catastrophe is a big catastrophe.

There is a division of land, water, fire, and wind, and this is also related to our practice. For example, some people feel that their body is hot, this is not necessarily a disease, it may be the function of their own fire, but you have to have intelligence, be able to distinguish clearly, don't get sick and feverish, but think that it is the realm of kung fu, then the kung fu will fall.

The bodhisattva realm sometimes shows that the great calamity is coming, and the heavens and the earth are in flames. At this time, sentient beings were in pain and mourning. "Everyone has always thought", all living beings hope that this physical body will last forever, the heavens and the earth will always be there, and it will be solemn according to the report, and it will not change for hundreds of millions of years.

Actually, it's impossible, everything is impermanent. At this time, the bodhisattva shines the light of wisdom on sentient beings, helping them to know impermanence, "knowing impermanence according to orders." Water and fire are all methods of life and death, they are phenomena, where does water and fire come from? Once you know it, you find the body.

"Countless billions of sentient beings have come to invite the Bodhisattva, and they will come to their homes for a while, and turn the order to the Buddha." Suppose all sentient beings in this world, and even in other worlds, come to this bodhisattva, and this bodhisattva appears in front of everyone at the same time, enlightens him, and turns his heart to the Buddha's path.

This ability is so big, how good it is to be able to incarnate and do different things at the same time! It's not impossible, even if someone can do it, it's not a supernatural power of wisdom, it's not the realm of true Buddhism, it's just an illusion.

True supernatural powers are a function of nature, and each of us has a bodhisattva in front of him, who is there at any time and has never left.

Where is it? In one's own heart, the mind is the Buddha.

If you understand the unity of mind and Buddha, you will know that this scripture is not a lie. Let's use air as an example and change the scripture to: "Countless billions of sentient beings come to the air, go to it for a while, and turn the order to the Buddha," and then you will understand.

As soon as everyone inhales through their noses, the air comes, and everyone breathes at the same time, without hindering it. It is also possible to use light as an analogy, which is born of the ontological function of self-nature. Therefore, "all sentient beings come to invite the Bodhisattva, go to their house for a while, and turn the order to the Buddha", the Buddha and Bodhisattva not only come to the front of all sentient beings, but also enter the hearts of all sentient beings.

Where is the Buddha seen? You don't have to run to the mountains, you just have to go to your heart.

How Mahayana bodhisattvas benefit sentient beings

Some people may often complain that there are so many homework, and everyone has to learn everything...... How do you have time to practice? I said that this is practice, it is the Mahayana Bodhisattva path, and you have to learn everything. "Sutras" are not only Buddhist scriptures, but also all knowledge in the world. "Forbidden spells), including all spells in the inner and outer paths.

Forbidden spells and forbidden arts are called forbidden in Tantra and Taoism, and people with kung fu and Taoist power block bad things and subdue them. In the Central Plains, if someone wants to teach me a Fa, and someone has sores on his body, he recites a series of mantras in one breath, scratches the patient's sores with his hands, and then rubs them on the door or on a tree, and blood will flow there, and the place where the sores are produced will be healed. You say he's magic or illusion, and that patient is so good.

I see that some of you have moved your mind, and you want to go to me to find and learn. No, you can't learn it, because you're just as smart as I am. What kind of spell is that kind of red boy from the East, wearing a red tasseled hat and a big red robe...... We won't believe it. But a foolish man and a foolish woman who has never read a book is the spirit. There is a truth in this, is it a rune spirit or a spell spirit? Neither, it's the heart! It's the power of the spirit.

Our mind doesn't believe it, and there is always a hint of doubt when we read it, so it's useless. So the more civilization progresses, the more this set of things declines. In fact, if you want to learn Buddhism and become enlightened, it is very simple, I will pass on a secret to you, to ensure that it is useful, do you want to learn? It's a pity to pass it on to you, it's just to learn to be "stupid"! The most honest, if you say it, you will believe it, big husband! And it worked.

Therefore, the Huayan Sutra tells us that "faith is the mother of merit from the source of the Tao", and all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have only one word for all the methods. So all religions emphasize this. Some people are learning to cultivate, and they even come to me and ask me if this method is not good for him? As soon as he opened his mouth to ask this sentence, he should have hit three hundred boards, he had no confidence, why bother? Why bother? They are all foolish and wise.
