Chapter 856: Sixty-four Grades
There is a famous poem in China: "The night rain in the empty street is injected into the army", that is, when it rains at night, take a water purification bottle to catch the rain outside.
The rain falls in the sky and is called rootless water in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is written in medical books that the medicinal rootless water is called rootless water, which is the water that does not fall in the air when it rains. These are common sense, and you won't be able to read them unless you are told in the future.
"What I said is not finished, and when Vima came to say to me: It is not the emperor's release, it is for the devil, and it is for the sake of the devil."
Before the Bodhisattva could finish blaming the Demon King, the old man of Vimo appeared and said to him, "This is not the Jade Emperor, it's the Demon King, who is here to disturb you!" "I can't even figure out if it's a demon or not! So the first thing Vimo scolded him was.
"That is, the words of the devil: It is the daughters and others, who may be with me, as I deserve." Vimoju was very imposing, so he said to the demon king, how did you give this 12,000 heavenly maiden to the monk? How does he do it? Give them all to me! He took it all.
"The devil is frightened, and reciting Vimalaya will not annoy me?" As soon as the demon king saw that it was Vimo Jushi coming, he was scared to death, thinking, oh no, I ran into him, this is over, the demon king is going to take credit now, just like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" said, I lost my wife and broke my soldiers.
"You want to be invisible, but you can't hide. and with all his might, he shall not go. "The Demon King wanted to be invisible at that time, and he used all his magical powers, but he still couldn't escape.
"I heard a voice in the air and said: Bo Xun! and with her, you may go. "At that time, a loud voice came in the air: Bo Xun! Call the name of the demon king, you hurry up and be obedient, give him the 12,000 heavenly maidens, and you can go.
"The demon is afraid", the demon king listened to the warning of the voice in the air, probably the demon king ancestor warned him that there was no way, he was afraid.
"I look up to you." This word is used very beautifully, and it is to describe the appearance of lowering his head and raising his head to think for a long time, reluctant to give it, and finally had to give it to the Vimo monk.
"Then Vimala said to the women, 'The devil is with you, and now you should all develop the three bodhichittas.' Vimala said to these goddesses, "Your boss has given you to me, and it belongs to me, and the first condition is to be obedient to me, and you must first develop bodhichitta."
"That is, to say what should be said, so that the meaning of the Tao is made." The first order was given, and then Vimo lay priests dealt with the 12,000 celestial maidens on the spot and educated them. Each of the 12,000 people has a different personality, and the Vimal monks use the power of the great gods to educate each person differently according to their past karma and present personality, and each of them feels that the Vimal monks are educating them separately in front of them, so that the 12,000 heavenly women, each of them, are determined to cultivate the Bodhi Path. Don't just read these two sentences.
After the education, Vimal said, "Now that you are willing to cultivate, you can enjoy the pure music of the Dharma, and you should not enjoy the happiness of the five desires of the world." ”
Some Buddhist scholars say, "This or that is a kind of enjoyment." "As soon as I heard it, this was still in the realm of demons, saying that it was a belief in Buddhism and cultivating, to be honest, I didn't have enough qualifications, so I could only say that it was like that. In the areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang on the mainland, the family members sometimes deliberately call the monk a harmony, and the appearance of the monk is the same as the southern dialect.
Monk is a transliteration of Sanskrit, which means that being a teacher can make the disciple's Taoist power arise, so that the monk is a title that is truly respected. You don't understand, you see that I call the abbot a monk, and you think that I don't respect him.
The Celestial Maiden asked, "What is the Dharma?" ”
Only those who can understand what Dharma music is are qualified to be called laymen. Here the goddess asked Vimo layman, what is the Dharma music? Note! Here's the point.
Answer: "I always believe in Buddhism." ”
Vimal replied: Always respect the Buddha everywhere, not only when you go to the Buddha hall, but only when you are respectful in your heart, you believe in the Buddha.
It's not that you are asked to worship Buddha statues, Buddhism does not worship idols.
Those clay sculptures and woodcarvings are not real Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, they are expressions.
Where is the true Buddha? In your heart.
The Buddhist scriptures tell you that there is no difference between the mind, the Buddha, and sentient beings, and that the three are one.
The Buddha is the incarnation, the mind is the Dharma body, and all beings are the retribution.
It can also be said that the Buddha is a reincarnation, and sentient beings become incarnations, which has no position.
How do you always believe in Buddhism, and how do you really believe in Buddhism? You get the idea now! It's not superstition, it's not going to the temple to burn incense and kowtow, you respect your heart at any time, respect all sentient beings at any time, don't look down on anyone, you believe in Buddhism.
Therefore, the Buddha looks at sentient beings with the eyes of the Buddha and the sentient beings with the eyes of compassion, not with resentment and contempt, but believes in the Buddha and believes in his own heart.
