The Bodhisattva said: The Dharma is two. The Buddha is the Dharma, and the Dharma is the many. It is the Three Jewels that are all non-existent, and the void and so on. All Fayers. Those who can follow this line are the only way to enter.

This Bodhisattva of the Root of Silence is the twenty-second Bodhisattva, and of course the silence and tranquility are empty. The Buddha, Dharma and Sangha translated into the Dharma in the Vimala Sutra, and the people are the Sangha. The Buddha, Dharma and Sangha are the Three Jewels of Buddhism. Recite in the morning and evening, take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the law, take refuge in the Sangha.

Ga, to read as "eggplant", not as "ga". Sangha means Sangha. Taking refuge in the Sangha is to take refuge in the Sangha, not to be a single Sangha, because you have to learn from the crowd, so here you become a Dharma congregation.

The Sangha is a saint, a saint, a reserve for becoming a Buddha and attaining enlightenment, and a supplementary Buddha. So you have to be respectful to the monks, I'm very respectful to the monks, and you don't see that I often scold the monks, it's a different position to scold them.

To study Buddhism, we should respect the Three Jewels.

Someone told me that he saw that his family seemed to be no different from his family, and that there was disrespect in his words.

I said, "Of course, it's the same, they all have one nose and two eyes, but people deserve respect when they shave their heads." ”

Let me tell you, the real Shakyamuni Buddha is here today, and you are used to seeing it and it is similar to us. The real bodhisattva is coming, you must not know, you will not understand until he dies, so go and cry slowly. If you can see all living beings, every human being, as a Buddha, then you will be absolutely successful. With such a spirit to study Buddhism, there is no slowness in the heart, and there is no unsuccessfulness.

The common concept separates the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, and thinks that they are born and we are in the world. The Buddha is the Dharma, and the Buddha is in the Dharma; The Dharma is the multitude, and the Dharma is the Sangha; The Three Jewels of the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha are one treasure.

We monks are Sangha treasures, and this Vimala Sutra in our hands is a Dharma treasure. That's why Shankin Bodhisattva tells us, "It's the Three Jewels that are all non-existent, void, and so on." All Fayers. ”

To do nothing is to let go, and the three treasures are one treasure. The true Three Jewels of the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha are in your place, in everyone's heart. Everyone can let go of all fates in their hearts, and every thought is empty, and you are the Three Jewels, which are equal to the void.

Not only the Three Jewels, but also all the birth and entry methods are the same. Being able to modify one's psychology and behavior according to this principle is the only way.

Even if you are a fellow practitioner at home, you can attain emptiness with a single thought, and you are already a member of the Sangha, so you are considered a monk, so there are monks and lay people who are enshrined in the temple. For example, among the Garan gods worshiped in Buddhism in the Central Plains, there are also relevant dukes and Wei Dao, all of whom are military generals and are at home.

Wei Dao Bodhisattva did not begin to be recorded until the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains, which was mentioned earlier. There is a saying that our calamity is a virtuous and holy calamity, and it is said that there will be a thousand Buddhas, so it is not so sad. Wei Dao Bodhisattva's wish is to protect the Dharma for the first 999 Buddhas, and he became the 1,000th born Buddha, that is, Lou Zhi Buddha.

Let's talk about the issue of life and death:

The mind is not hindered by the Bodhisattva said: The body and the body are destroyed. The body is the body is destroyed, so what? Those who see the reality of the body do not see the body and see the extinction. There is no difference between the body and the body, and those who are not frightened or afraid in it are the only way to enter the body.

The only way that the mind is not hindered by the bodhisattva is what we are talking about about life and death. The most terrifying thing in the world is life and death. What to do if you die? If you die, there will be no me. Whether or not I am or not is another question, but to think that there is no me when I am dead is to think that this body is me, and in Buddhism this is an evil view, not a good view. The body is not me, it is a tool borrowed in this life, and it is a combination of the four falsehoods. Ordinary people divide life and death, and it is called death when the body loses its function. The horror and sorrow of ordinary people is that they are afraid of death, and if my body is gone, where will I go?
