I don't know if the Buddha can untie the knot in my heart, I don't know if the Buddha can show me a direction, I just listen to the Buddha naturally and attentively.

The Buddha told it vividly and interestingly: "We grow barley in our hometown, and you grow wheat and rice here, are the seeds sown and the fruits harvested the same thing?" No, no, the seed is the fruit. But are they not connected? No, otherwise, the fruit would not need to be sown to obtain. ”

"From the moment the seed is planted, it encounters nutrients, moisture, temperature, light, and then changes in growth. Everything is not isolated, it develops under the convergence of various causes. For example, is there a small bronze Buddha statue in my bowl that only belongs to him? Can it be independent, stable, or even incommunicado with the outside world? ”

"First of all, objective things must maintain their own characteristics within a certain time limit, be understood by others, and change according to certain internal laws."

The Buddha saw that I was confused, so he said more patiently: "Look at this small bronze Buddha statue, do you belong to its characteristics in its material?" If it is in the material, it means that the bronze has the characteristics of a small Buddha statue, and the bronze cannot make a big Buddha statue, let alone other things, but this is impossible, so there is no small Buddha statue in the material. ”

"The characteristics of the little Buddha statue are in the hands of the creator, the craftsman? It must be wrong, then the creator or craftsman becomes a Buddha statue, or the creator will not do anything but the Buddha statue. So, are the characteristics of the small Buddha statue produced in the process of craftsmen encountering materials and processes? No, it's like the two of us don't have any money, and when we get together, we will make money, which is not realistic at all. ”

"But we do see a small Buddha statue in front of our eyes, for example, now that our room is dark, I light one end of a small piece of incense, and then tie the other end with a thread, and then pick it up, and you will see a ring of fire, right?"

"Yes." I nodded, a little understood.

The Buddha seemed to see something, and couldn't help laughing: "But this ring of fire is illusory, and it has never really existed." Although it has not really existed, we have seen it really. In the same way, it is ridiculous that people perceive the world with their own senses, but in fact they rely too much on and trust their senses. ”

"The senses are limited, which is why there are illusions. Seeing is not necessarily believing, if you haven't seen your grandfather's grandfather, then it doesn't exist, it must be ridiculous, because you can reason. As long as it is reasonable, it can be considered relatively correct and true. ”

"Your biggest problem is to misjudge, analyze and even deny yourself, which makes yourself very embarrassed and embarrassed."

At this time, Junbei returned.

The Buddha said two very short Tibetan words to Junbei, and Junbei began to clean up the magic weapons on the table.

The Buddha always watched him pack up everything and from time to time he said a simple Tibetan word or two.

It wasn't until Junbei packed up the rest of the things and withdrew from the big basin mixed with water and tsampa balls that the Buddha looked at me again and said, "Wait a minute, boil some milk tea and drink." Let's talk first. ”

The Buddha put the rosary on the table and turned it around twice.

After a pause, he made a very complicated mudra around his hand and recited a few verses of the Tibetan mantra.

The Buddha finally opened his eyes and said to me: "Courage, wisdom, and kindness are the necessary means and tools to practice the truth and obtain true knowledge. You must keep in mind that you must not feel inferior, you should work harder, and do not make yourself doubtful, frustrated and pessimistic because of a momentary misunderstanding. ”

"First of all, you should be proud of yourself. It is already very difficult to stay away from the eight calamities, to attain the ten perfections, to find a teacher with merits, and to learn the Buddha's teachings. The precepts are requirements and examples, and are meant to ensure that the practitioner's body, mouth, and mind are not contaminated with dirt and filth. ”

"Practitioners are not saints, they have to follow the standards of the precepts, but they can't fully meet the standards, otherwise there would be no need for chanting, practice and repentance. Now you must first overcome the inferiority complex in your heart, and dare to face and learn. You, like the Buddha, are equal. I bless you, on behalf of me personally, and also on behalf of the name of the Three Jewels of the Ten Directions. ”

The Buddha said very detachedly, and his face was very **: "In the cause of transforming sentient beings, the Buddha not only escaped the noble caste and occupation, but also once transformed five hundred robbers. In this way, the Buddha did not choose sentient beings because of class, caste, or occupation. ”

This can also prove in turn that all beings can become Buddhas. So, the first thing you have to overcome is distrust and fear of yourself, in addition to low self-esteem. The Buddha's teachings are vast, and you have to slowly appreciate it, especially the kindness of compassion and the courage of progress, as well as the true wisdom of seeing everything. ”

The Buddha looked at me with a smile, and his smile was like the graceful sunshine of Sanchun, forever shining and warming my heart: "Of course, you should guide your troubles reasonably, and let them become the driving force and help for your spiritual liberation. For example, your low self-esteem and self-blame can be transformed into a kind of motivation to move forward, a kind of power to purify your soul, so that you can live a more relaxed and happy life. ”

I feel that all the complex objective existence and a lot of modern cultural information are filtered into a simple and timeless spiritual mood in him.

The Buddha looked at me with a smile and continued to guide very calmly: "You can amplify your feelings about your work little by little, and turn the many objects you meet into all sentient beings, so that you will become very powerful. In fact, people are all the same, and it becomes a kind of stupidity to take what you see in front of you or what you hear with your ears as an immutable reality, and you can't let go of it in your heart. ”

"Buddhism does not teach us to succumb to fate, it tells us to work hard to manage and transform our own destiny, and it wants us to never bow to difficulties, disasters, darkness, and sin."

The Buddha personally found a lot of blessed mascots, and even a kind of gilded page bookmark, I know, this is to hope that I can be happy and fulfilled in the future.

I always listened carefully to every word of the Buddha, trying to seek spiritual support and liberation.

Loneliness and pain don't seem to exist anymore.

Junbei has cooked milk tea.

I drank milk tea and chatted with the Buddha easily.

"Buddha, my mother is gone," I suddenly asked a question, "will she get any benefit by reciting the sutra to her?" ”

The Buddha smiled: "Do you want to recite scriptures to your mother?" Okay, I'll read it myself. ”

That's when someone knocked on the door.

Junbei opened the door, and it turned out that some of the Buddha's disciples came to visit the Buddha.

Two men and one woman, both middle-aged, listening to the accent and looking at the dress, may be Beijing natives.

I said goodbye to the Buddha, who happily sent me to the door and told me to come and visit him when I had time.

I was moved, indescribable, yet so real and intense.
