The true Four Noble Truths are not easy to talk about, but if you want to understand what the true Four Noble Truths are, you should study the teachings of Sariputta and Mulian Venerables, such as the Treatise on Vibhasha in the Treatise, and they all discuss how to quickly attain fruition from the Four Noble Truths.

I often sigh that the Dharma is still in the world, and it has not reached the end of the Dharma era, and the teachings are still there, but we are not willing to work hard. If you are willing to work hard, you will be able to see Sariputta and Mulian in person.

I also know that in addition to their practice, some people have also made efforts to study the writings of Sariputta and Muren, so they often have feelings.

However, from the perspective of the Mahayana Bodhisattva Path, the Dharma of the Shravakas is not perfect, so they can't even listen to the Dafa that the Buddha says. For example, at the beginning of the Lotus Sutra, when the Buddha was saying the Dharma, the Hinayana monks withdrew from their seats and never entered the Dafa.

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.

"Manifest into the Buddha of the Buddha, and achieve great compassion and educate sentient beings." This is the same 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.

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 Taoists often ask, how do monks or lay people 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.

Chinese Taoists divide the suitable sites for cultivation into 36 caves and 72 blessed lands.

Buddhism has a similar saying. Laoshan Mountain in Shandong is said to be such a dojo, where the gods often gather, and the Nalayan Cave is said to be there. If you see the Tao, attain righteous concentration, and fulfill your wishes, you can still cultivate the incorruptible body of Vajra. Everyone has to make their own decisions. When a bodhisattva enters the world to practice, he shows many illnesses and ugliness, but when his practice is achieved, he will be able to attain the body of Nara, and all sentient beings will be happy to see it.
