Chapter 372: Cultivation (Part II)

In this small cabin, Xie Baoshu has been staying for a long time, but the two bigwigs have no intention of stopping.

Especially the Netherworld real person, sometimes he grabbed Xie Baoshu's hand and explained the key points of cultivation to him.

There must be a test for practice, and there is no way to do it without an exam. The world is also full of tests, if the heart is a little biased, then it will be difficult to pass the heavenly examination. Don't study the Dharma of the last days, and look at the books of the sects, because the mind will be chaotic and chaotic, after all, you will not seek the door of the true path, and you will not get rid of reincarnation, you will not obtain the supreme and undiluted true Dharma, and you will not prove the wisdom of Bodhi, and the Buddhas and sages are no exception.

If you are sincere, you will be enlightened and wise. Perception is also related to self-cultivation of one's own mind. It is necessary to know that you should correctly improve your self-cultivation, so that you will not be confused in the last days and go to the evil sect and the devil's path will not return. It also reminds practitioners in the world that they must calm their minds and bodies, be impartial, find the correct Dharma, and never deviate from the truth.

The history of the biography is high, and the salty people regard the scriptures as if they were living Buddhas. The traces of its awe, although the loyal ministers serve the holy lord, and the filial son reads the will, how can it be like one or two. Because of its extreme respect, it can discern the truth and transcend the sacred.

The ancients practiced and were able to preach the Tao, but today's people practice and rarely see a clear mind. How can the roots of people not be equal, but also the ears caused by reverence. The history of the biography is high, and the salty people regard the scriptures as if they were living Buddhas. The traces of its awe, although the loyal ministers serve the holy lord, and the filial son reads the will, how can it be like one or two.

Because of its extreme respect, it can discern the truth and transcend the sacred. Looking at the snow of the two ancestors, the snow of Chengmen can be seen. Today's people regard the Buddha statue as civil engineering, and the Buddhist scriptures as old paper. Even if you have faith and recite and receive it, it is only for the verbal smoothness, and there is no practical benefit to be discussed.

Although it is a kind of distant cause, the sin of blasphemy is unimaginable. May Your Excellency, with your erudition, always use this to benefit all in your teachings. Then the Dharma is very fortunate, and all sentient beings are very fortunate.

Seeking the benefits of the Dharma from respect is the determination of the true meaning from the original intention to the end. Therefore everyone who sees all those who believe must tell it with this intention.

I often say that if you want to benefit from the Dharma, you have to seek respect. If there is a point of respect, a point of sin will be destroyed, and a point of blessing and wisdom will be increased.

If you are very respectful, you will destroy ten sins and increase ten blessings. If there is no respect at all, the sin of blasphemy is unthinkable, even though it is a distant cause. Whoever sees all those who believe must tell it this way. This is the actual meaning of the decision from the beginning to the end. If you talk about it as a rotten monk, you will give up on yourself, and you will not be able to live up to Yinguang, but you will also be disappointed yourself.

The birth of all Buddhas cannot be easy.

The seat is brave and diligent, and it is rare for people to do it. If you want to stab your blood and write scriptures, it can be said that you will be heavy on the law and light on your body, and you will get what you want. Although, the light wish seat first concentrates on the practice of Buddha Samadhi. Wait for it to be obtained, and then do it.

If you do this at the beginning, you may be afraid that the blood will be weak, and it will be difficult to get into the fun. There are many ways to enter the Tao, only people are interested, and there is no certain way. Those who are certain are said to be honest and respectful. Although these two things are not easy for the Buddhas to be born in the future, they cannot be easy. And I am a Bodi ordinary man, who wants to eliminate the tiredness of karma, and quickly prove that there is no life, and I am not committed to this, such as a tree without roots and wants to flourish, and a bird has no wings and wants to fly, what can it get?

A person with good roots is a straight man, he is a straight person, and he has less karma, and he will do whatever you tell him to do; you tell him to practice, let him be diligent; because his karma is small, he can no longer distinguish between cold and heat, there is no day and night, and everything is not taken care of.

This is a daily practice, so after the ancients participated in the great good knowledge, they could realize it immediately after they passed the enlightenment of the good knowledge with a word, a side, or a gesture of gesture.

Why can't you realize, what is the reason for this? This is because you don't usually use your efforts on the Tao, and now people can't let go of their greedy desires in their cultivation, and if they can't let go, they will become greedy and hateful, and if you engage in greed and hatred, they will have karma, and if your karma is heavy in ordinary times, you won't work hard at all.

Nowadays, people are pampered, they can't bear any hardship, and they can't stand it when it's hot, especially the monks who live in the south, and they have to go to the temple and Pufo Pufo, and they are too lazy to use their efforts in ordinary times. The monks take two lessons and follow the crowd. Where to use the effort. If you want to be able to use your efforts to practice this path, you have to see through it and let it go, and if you can't see through it, you can't talk about working hard.

When it came to the time of adding incense and playing seven, I remembered to work hard. This is not the correct practice, the correct practice requires the year, the month, the day, the hour, the moment, the two or six hours, so that the practice can correspond to the Tao.

Nowadays, people's cultivation methods are not correct, and when you practice, you must let go of your desires to cultivate, and only when you let go of all your desires can you correspond to the Tao, and the ancients were able to let go of greed and work hard when they practiced.

Nowadays, Buddhist disciples have been mistaken by this kind of evil knowledge and wrong views for a long time, and there are too many people who have gone the wrong way in their cultivation. This kind of person who usually doesn't practice with kung fu doesn't want to start to improve until he hits seven, which is like digging a well when you are thirsty.

Think about it: The birds usually don't go to build their nests, but when the weather is cold, the birds remember to build their nests, and I haven't built them yet, but the birds are frozen to death.

It takes three or five years for all the craftsmen and crafts in the world to get a job; besides, will it be so easy for us to cultivate the world's great way of doing nothing and the supreme wonderful law? For those of you who have some knowledge, of course, you must always recite the phrase 'Nam no Amitabha Buddha' well, regardless of whether it is severe in winter or hot in summer or hot in summer; those who practice Zen Buddhism must not understand what 'who is chanting Buddha', study it painstakingly, and practice it constantly, persistently, and without interruption. No matter how hot it is, I have a sentence of 'Nan no Amitabha', or a sentence of 'who is the Buddha'.

No matter how cold the day is, I also have 'Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha', or 'who is chanting Buddha', and I don't know how cold the sky is. The ancients cultivated the Tao, just such a hard work, and they would be enlightened in three or five years, and of course it would be a ready-made thing.

If you want to add incense and play seven to work, you usually don't need to work, and if you calculate it in one year, you have to waste nine months, and only three months of work. Think about it: If so, is it correct to practice? What kind of hard work is it? Besides, if you don't usually work hard to cultivate your work, it will be difficult for you to use your kung fu to perfection when you hit the seventh, and the most important thing is to practice diligently.

We must know that life is impermanent, life is in the breath, while we still have a breath, we cultivators should hurry while we are still young, and seek to understand the Tao as soon as possible, the key to becoming a Buddha is to first have a clear mind and enlightenment. Therefore, those who really want to become a Buddha want to be enlightened as soon as possible and attain liberation.

You may not understand it very well, because this is very different from the current atmosphere, and when you really understand numerology, you will solve these mysteries, but looking at the history of monks, there are too few people who really have attainments in Buddhism.

Some masters have also said that it is never recommended that friends and students around them enter the Buddha Gate, the Buddha Gate is as big as a grain of rice as Mount Meru, and there are many monks in front of the Hell Gate, which is also the strange phenomenon of many devils and demons in the current end of the Dharma period to drill into the Buddha Gate, from the numerology point of view, the eight characters of the monks are all an extreme fate, and the fate is not auspicious, so there is a fate with the monks, in order to plant good karma and recreate the next life, not a lifetime and can be liberated.

It is said in the book of life that water is mostly the way and fire is mostly for monks, probably because water and fire stop at the same time, which is mostly reflected in many unsatisfactory life; Hanged to death, isolated people. How strong the food injury is, the person who preaches the scriptures. He is a person who believes in Buddhism. There is no official prisoner for wealth, and the life of the monk. "This fortune-telling is unshakable.

Women eat a lot of food, chant Buddha and cultivate. The year of Chonglu, the life of a monk. Hurt and prosperous without wealth, the life of the monk. The bias is strong and prosperous, and the immortal Buddha can be seen. Reunion of the Wounded Owl (Wounded Strong Owl Decline), pretending to be a fairy Buddha. The calamity is all through, and the life of the cultivator.

There is no wealth in the eight characters, and it is suitable for cultivation. When you are lonely and widowed, it is best to cultivate the Tao. The day is weak and injured, and the cultivation seeks meditation. The canopy is dying in the air, and the life of the monks. The wounded officer is strong, and he is a man of monk and art. The sun is weak and the eclipse is heavy and injured, and the life of the monk is a monk. The spring wood is shallow, the summer fire is golden, and the cultivators are the people. The pillar is more biased and robbed, and it is the most suitable for cultivation. There is no system for official killing, and it is best to cultivate the Tao and seek blessings. The Japanese lord is too prosperous and has no financial officials, and the life of the monks. The financial official died, and the monk became a monk.

There is no food, and the life of a monk. The canopy is in the empty tomb of the Jedi, the first choice for monks. The body is imprisoned and the tomb is dead, and the life of a monk is a monk. The pattern is turbid and rich, and he is a Taoist priest who has entered the world. The pattern is clear and noble, and he should be a person who escapes from the world and cultivates. Wealthy officials are dead, prosperous, and helpless, all of whom are suitable for monks and cultivators. When the nobles of Tianyi see it again, they must be monks and cultivators.

Looking at these fatalistic characteristics, if they are reflected in their personalities, those who have the karma of becoming a monk are often more unusual or more extreme than ordinary people, often incompatible with the world, or they are better than the laity in terms of human sophistication and speculation, and they enjoy the most luxurious things in money and heart, and are even more powerful and realistic than the laity family, and they suffer great battles and grievances between life and psychology.

If you really want to practice, but not necessarily in the monastery, the most embarking on the path of cultivation may be the only way to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

When everyone is born, there are ghosts and gods with them, but the number of them varies, and if it is a good person, its followers may be hundreds, or even thousands. If it is a bad person, there is also a Dharma Protector, but there may be hundreds or thousands of people to have a Dharma Protector. These ghosts and gods are like the president's bodyguards today, and they follow you wherever you go.

However, the number of these Dharma Protectors has increased or decreased, and when everyone does something bad, the Dharma Protectors will leave one by one. If a person does good deeds, then there will be more and more Dharma protectors.

The Buddhist scriptures say that for every precept a person keeps, five additional Dharma Protectors are added. Based on this, there are at least 25 Dharma Protectors who keep the five precepts.

In addition, when you are chatting and talking, the Dharma Protector is always around, and if you are talking about something useless, the Dharma Protector will leave one by one. If you're talking about the Dharma, then the Dharma Protector will listen to it in passing. If it is said very well, then the Dharma Protector God will be surrounded more and more.

It can also be said that everyone's protector gods are at your disposal at all times, and these gods have a protective role, but also a supervisory role, and even a punitive effect. This is in line with the saying, "People are doing, and the heavens are watching."

There are some taboos in studying Buddhism, and people used to have to dress neatly when they went to the temple, but now it is not optimistic. In particular, women who are not dressed properly also go directly to the temple. Therefore, it makes sense for the ancients to say that women's karma is heavier. As you know, there is a short aunt in Putuo Mountain, talking about the sister-in-law and sister-in-law to go to Putuo Mountain to worship the Buddha, it was inconvenient to go to Putuo Mountain before, and it is estimated that it will take half a month to go to Putuo Mountain.

If you have a way, you will naturally have a Dharma protector to protect you, and now people like to use art, and business depends on advertising. Technique is the most taboo in the Heavenly Dao. Cultivating the Tao is cultivating the Tao. If you do business, you will be blessed, and you will naturally make money. Without good fortune, no matter how well you advertise, it is useless. There is a law in the universe that you can't surpass him.

It's the same with practice, don't package and advertise, once you have this heart, it's bad, and if you don't become a Buddha, you become a demon. Master Lotus Chi said that merit must be hidden, so that your karma can be improved and karma can be eliminated. You must not do a little merit or good deed to attract the admiration of others, and then the merit becomes admiration, and then it is gone.

And Master Lotus Chi said that all slander is the best preservation of merit. If you do good deeds and others slander you, that's great, and your merit will be protected.

Faults, on the other hand, cannot be covered up. The more you cover it, the more rotten the roots will rot and stink. To expose it to the sun. On the contrary, the fault disappears.

There is an energy in the universe, you have merit, and naturally inspires a lot of good knowledge to support you by your side. They sustain you and receive your merits. Not only people will support it, but also the eight parts of the heavenly dragon will support it. One Buddha is born, and a thousand Buddhas support it. Especially in the field of Buddhism, you can't do it without the support of the Dharma protector. Cultivation relies on the power of the Dharma Protector.

The ancients said that the Tao is not lonely, but there must be neighbors. If you do things that are very suitable for the Great Dao, the Dharma Protector Heavenly Dragons will be happy, and they will arrange it for you. You can repair with peace of mind and do it with peace of mind. If the Dharma Protector is not happy, it will be very difficult for you to do it. Remember, practitioners have to deal not only with humane relationships, but also with inhumane relationships, such as relationships with ghosts and spirits.

Looking at the biographies of the great masters, they all experienced many hardships when they preached the Dharma, and the support of the Dharma Protector God enabled them to overcome many difficulties.

For example, Wang Lingguan took refuge in Zen Master Jin Qiaojue, you go to Jiuhua Mountain to see, there are many places to worship Wang Lingguan, he is the protector of the Dharma. Guan Gong took refuge in the wise master and vowed to uphold Buddhism. There are also countless cases of the Dragon King's protector. Lawyer Daoxuan fell ill in Zhongnan Mountain, and the Four Heavenly Kings sent him a prescription.

If you really have a spiritual practice, you will naturally be able to influence the magnetic field around you. This is the blessing of the real energy field.

When you first learn Buddhism, you have to hide and cultivate blessings and wisdom, and when you have a realm, you can come to promote the Dharma and benefit people. Generally, many people are busy with affairs every day, and they don't have the heart to calm down and recite the scriptures, that's not okay. In any case, homework is uninterrupted. When cultivating good fortune, we still need to cultivate wisdom and concentration.

The monastery is a dojo, and the laymen support the way of the monks. The Buddha said that if you really practice, if the Dharma protector does not support it, the protector god will be incompetent.

The old monk Mengshen said that he had a master in Beijing, and this master could not knock on the Dharma instrument or practice the law, he wanted to build a temple, and there were no believers. What should I do? He worshiped Jizo Bodhisattva every day for three years, and his karma disappeared and he became meritorious.

Will, mind, mind, and body are the four worlds. Superstitious people say that there are three roads on the bridge, one is gold, one is silver, and the other is Huangquan Road. I said that being a man with ambition is "gold", being a man with intention is "silver", and using things with body and mind is to embark on the "Huangquan Road".

The people in the Zhijie didn't say, they didn't say that it was okay to do anything, the people in the mental world were content, the people in the heart world were greedy, and the people in the body world were aggressive. Those who do not say are called heartless, those who are content are called pure-hearted, those who are greedy are called worryers, and those who are aggressive are called bad people. Bad mind is a ghost, worry is a person, pure mind is a god, and no heart is a Buddha.

People in the body world only know how to plan for their bodies, they have their own and no one, they are unreasonable, they want to take things for themselves when they see them, they get angry and fight when they can't take advantage of them, and they are always worried, so they are a "ghost". People in the heart are insatiable, always dissatisfied, full of delusions, and easy to use tricks, so they are a villain. People in the Italian world are content and happy, and happiness is "God". The people in the Zhijie didn't say anything, they saw through the cause and effect, they didn't look for the cycle, and what they didn't say was "Buddha". If a person wants to be transcendent, he must be able to move boundaries

One must distinguish the four worlds. If you can hold up all the fools in the world and make them great wise people, then you will be the realm of aspirations, the realm of Buddhahood.

If you can have nothing in your mind and always be happy and worry-free, it is the realm of consciousness and the realm of heaven. If you are insatiable and anxious, you will be in the realm of the heart, the realm of the sea of suffering. If it is for the sake of profit, greed and disturbance, spending all day and drinking, lingering, and fighting bravely, it is the realm of the body and the realm of hell.

Therefore, the realm of ambition is the kingdom of Buddha, the realm of mind is heaven, the realm of mind is the sea of suffering, and the realm of body is hell.

Regardless of the good or bad circumstances, the gains and losses of the rich and the poor, the glory and disgrace, the survival and disgrace, you can be as if you are not moving, you only know how to be an adult, and you can be a person with ambition. Concentration in the realm of mind is heaven, and contentment and happiness are living immortals. The heart is the human world, and it is a boundless sea of suffering.

How can a person become a Buddha if he is a human being, and he will eventually deteriorate, so he should be regarded as a fake. People must make meritorious contributions and establish virtues, but if they don't know how to start with merits, how can they become enlightened?

Zhijie people are like spring, specializing in germination. The ancients said: "It is difficult to eliminate demons if you are angry, and it is a practice to not repay grievances." ”

It is the performance of the people of Zhijie. The people of the Italian world are like summer, focusing on tolerance and self-cultivation, so that all things breed and flourish, and "the beauty of the gentleman's adulthood" is the behavior of the people in the Italian world. People in the heart are like autumn, focusing on selfishness, just like when all things are in autumn, they end up ignoring others, so they are scattered.

People in the world are like winter, they specialize in destruction, they only know how to take and plunder, everyone is afraid of him, they dare not be contaminated, and they will suffer a lot if they get a little edge.
