Chapter 20: Ritual Music
Release, also known as Buddha!
In the fourth century A.D., there was a Buddhist disciple named Dao'an in China. He is the founder of the Chinese Buddhist system, and the surname of Buddhist disciples is from his advocacy and beginning, so the monks are also called the disciples of the Buddha.
It originally meant that Buddhism was localized in China.
On the whole, Buddhism, like Confucianism, has been passed down on the land of China for thousands of years, and many ideas have been mixed in the middle, so that Confucianism is not Confucianism, and Buddhism is not Buddhism.
Judging from the experience of Shakyamuni Buddha, like Confucius, he did not leave any scriptures, and the biggest feature of him and Confucianism is that he has many disciples and grandchildren, and his scriptures are also written by later novices to record the language of the Buddha's teachings.
Therefore, Confucianism said: Confucius said.
Buddhism: That's what I heard. That's what I listened to the Buddha!
In this way, the various scriptures are different, which are more or less mixed with minor changes by the novices, just as Yan Hui misunderstood Confucius. But the whole thing is the same.
And because there are many inheritors of Buddhism in later generations, and there are thousands of ways to cultivate Buddhism, it is easy to go wrong, deviate from the avenue, and leave loopholes.
If you want to understand the Buddha, you must know that the experience of Shakyamuni Buddha is very similar to that of Confucius in Confucianism.
Therefore, although Buddhism is called the way of birth, its actions are to enter the world and practice, not to avoid the world as later Buddha's children and grandchildren, which is wrong.
The Buddha walked or preached the Dharma all his life, which shows that his behavior is to enter the world and educate, and his main purpose is to cultivate the birth method of the mind. If you want to be born, you have to enter the world. If you don't join the WTO, how can you be born? The inheritors of later generations are all people who have escaped from the world, and they have already misinterpreted the original intention of the Buddha!
The so-called first crossing oneself, then crossing others, oneself first to be good, and then persuading others to be good, this is the original intention, and this move has already made great merit.
If there is a Buddha in the heart, the Buddha nature has been proven, and the body is bound by the mundane world, and the mind is still empty, even if thousands of prosperity cannot be reflected in the heart, what are you afraid of entering the world?
If there is no Buddha in the heart, if there is no self-seeingness, even if you are far away from the mountains and build thousands of temples, how can you trap the restless mind.
The so-called monks eat fasting, far away from the mountains, and worship the Buddha is just a photo. If there is no appearance, then you can't care about the appearance. Fang Ming is empty!
What the Buddha did was to persuade people to be good, so people cultivated the land as a field, and the Buddha cultivated the heart as a field.
But the Buddha exchanged the fruit of the mind for the fruit of the farmland, which was to act fairly. In later generations, many Buddhists, novices, and monks exchanged the fruits of farming for the cultivation of their own minds, and they turned it upside down one after another, which is the loss of their original heart.
Build temples, be monks, offer gold bodies, collect incense, have more income, and less production, there are very few real masters of mind cultivation, so that they are out of the avenue, they will suffer from people's dirt, and there are lazy people who see the opportunity to take advantage of it, and devote themselves to Buddhism, anyway, there is no threshold, everyone wants to accept people, and after income, they can't get rid of their demons, and over time they will change their taste.
There are as many producers as cattle hair, and there are very few people who cultivate the heart field, and they pay first and then return, which becomes the first to ask for money, and then pay, or simply not to pay, even if the clear vision has been achieved, they do not teach the people, do not go to enter the WTO, do not break the internal demons, and the way of the angry eyes of the King Kong has become the way of settling down and protecting the hospital.
The more prosperous Buddhism became, the closer it was to destruction, and the unprecedented prosperity was all about the false appearance of the accumulated incense, not the mind that cultivated the fruits with clear vision. Therefore, there have been three actions in history to destroy the Buddha, all of which destroyed themselves because of themselves.
Since you choose to be born and aim to be born, then you can do the things of birth.
What his subordinates do is the incense and money of the people who have received the world, and they build pavilions and pavilions, temples and forests, and they talk about not being stained with dust, not asking about the world, and they must know the reincarnation of cause and effect, and the retribution is unpleasant, and if they receive the causes of the world, they will get the fruits of the world.
The act of destroying the Buddha is self-inflicted!
If a person who can learn Taoism chooses to be born, he is born, even if the mind is still in the world, but the body has been born, do not be contaminated with the cause and effect of the world, be self-sufficient, do not fight for incense, and do not make offerings. Fang is where the Tao lies. Therefore, Taoism is the first of the three in the hearts of the people because of its non-self-contention in Chinese civilization!
is different from Confucianism, who is an official in the court and a teacher in the people, and it is also a straightforward exchange of collecting money and doing things. Later generations of Buddhism evolved into only the obligation to collect incense, but not to do the obligation to purify sentient beings, this kind of behavior of the novice in later generations has been detached from the behavior of Shakyamuni Buddha, so there is a matter of the demon son and grandson of the Demon King of Boxun staying in the Buddhist temple.
Buddhism can be called the world's top method, and its birth thought is of great help to people to realize the Tao, and it can also be used as a missionary for the emperor to stabilize the world. However, there is great hypocrisy under the great goodness, and it is not easy to cultivate Buddhism day by day, and it is not easy to obtain great freedom, and because of religion, it is extremely rejective of foreign religions, so it is not unreasonable for Buddhism to decline in later generations.
Practitioners of Buddhism should know that what they abandon is the acquired path, not the innate path. It is the laws of heaven and earth that are cultivated, not contrary to heaven and earth!
Confucianism enters the WTO to govern the country, governs the world, and collects the reward of joint efforts, Taoism does nothing, does not fight, self-reliance, transcendence, but Buddhism in China is an act that occupies both sides, and in the name of birth, it implicates the mortal dust who enters the world, so there are very few people who sincerely practice Buddhism, and there are many people who pretend to deceive the world and steal their fame, and the doctrine is not wrong, but the inheritors are messy, and here is one of its major stains.
Moreover, the difference between Buddhism and Confucianism and Taoism is that Confucianism can tolerate everything, as long as the truth is right, which has been proven in the inclusiveness of China for thousands of years. However, Buddhism has a narrow sense of thought, and the monks of later generations can only believe in one family, which limits the inclusiveness of people's thinking, and its own inheritors are disorganized and have no deep study, and when they meet people, they are full of Buddhist scriptures and teachings, and the Bodhisattva manifests his spirit, and gradually turns the doctrine of goodness into a superstitious doctrine, which is already out of the original intention of the Buddha!
The so-called superstitious people believe that they don't understand it, and they are fanatically loyal and persuade others to believe it. This is the mystery.
Faith, on the other hand, has a reason and a trajectory to be found.
Belief and superstition, the difference between one word, is a thousand miles away!
Confucianism does things for the people, takes the people's money, and takes the people's taxes! It can make the world stable! Resolve disputes!
Taoism does nothing, has nothing to do, and is self-sufficient! It can make the world stable, the country rich and the people strong!
Buddhism does not produce, takes the fruits of people, and turns from entering the WTO to the world, although it can make the people safe and good, but it will make the country famine, the people slack, and this is the only way to buy the root of the curse for themselves.
The so-called avenue fairness is acceptable. Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha still spreads teachings, runs all his life, and preaches the scriptures and teachings can be exchanged for food! What's more, the posthumous monks who do not work and do not leave the world?
The Buddha did not take the vow of money, but this vow has not been abolished in China, but it is connected with the world. This Buddha is no longer the other Buddha!
When Emperor Wu of Liang was encountering the Zen patriarch Bodhidharma crossing to the east, he asked Bodhidharma, he had built countless monks and Buddhist monasteries and accepted countless believers, and his merits were great? But Bodhidharma said, "There is no merit." As long as you do good deeds and generosity, you will do it in your heart, and your merits will naturally be great, but now the temple is flourishing, and the golden body is forever plated, but no one has walked the world to resolve the suffering of the people and unravel the obsessions of all sentient beings. It's just a bunch of fake monks!
The mistake of Buddhism, the mistake is no longer the Buddha, in the inheritor, can do good charity, can not be good flaunting, the higher the good standard, the more demons, and finally the decline of Buddhism, and then spread by ascetics, stick, to be carried forward and ushered in the small theft of the results, in the name of the Buddha to satisfy selfish desires, are not strict rules.
All human beings behave in accordance with the rules of heaven and earth, and no matter who founded the doctrine, they cannot contradict the laws of heaven and earth!
The first great paradox, reincarnation!
Reincarnation cannot be escaped, and those who talk about getting rid of reincarnation are all vain words, people who do not know reincarnation. Moreover, reincarnation is not the words of the Buddha, but the words of China!
Man eats grains, birds and animals, grows up, enters the body, removes filth, enters the earth, and feeds grains, fruit trees, and fruit trees raise birds and beasts.
From the beginning of the essence of the body, yin and yang are combined, giving birth to new life, from the beginning to death and returning to the earth, the earth then nourishes the body, and so on, life is the first half of reincarnation, death is the second half of reincarnation, there is no distinction between life and death, only continuous reincarnation.
Talking about getting out of reincarnation, not knowing life, not knowing death? Life is death, death is life, but it is just the transformation and reincarnation of species. Buddhism delusionally talks about detaching from the way of heaven, only being born and not dying into the western heavens, only dying without being born, and abandoning the skin is contrary to the way of heaven, and it is not feasible to be born between heaven and earth!
Three small paradoxes must be changed!
First: all things in heaven and earth are mutually reinforcing, and primates are cannibalistic and mutually reinforcing. All the teachings are only derived for the purpose of stabilizing the people of the world, and have nothing to do with the rest of the primates, they have their own rules of heaven and earth, or eagles and snakes, snakes and rats, rats and so on are all in a state of equilibrium, but they have never heard of the same kind of killing each other as viciously as human beings, so the Buddha's persuasion to be good is not to kill people, not to harm people, not to hurt people, not to kill people with their own kind, every nation in the animal has its own beliefs, or do not eat fish, or do not kill dogs, or do not eat pigs, but if they do not kill, it is contrary to nature, This doctrine is wrong to the extreme! One is injustice!
Second: Looking at its animal behavior, Ciwu is still feeding, and the lamb is still kneeling, which is a natural connection and cannot be broken. But once you enter the Buddhism and break the world, your parents have worked hard to raise adults, as the son of man but do not support, as a countryman but do not give birth, I am sorry for the grace of my parents, I am sorry for the responsibility of inheritance, and I eat incense in the world, one takes the upbringing of his parents and does not report it, the second passes on his human body, the responsibility for the continuation of the species is not accepted, and the incense of the people is returned. It is contrary to the laws of heaven and earth. The second is injustice!
Third: The so-called putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the ground, although it confuses people with persuading people to do good, it has also become a place of refuge for the wicked, a place to hide filth and dirt, which is an act of indistinguishing between good and evil, and there is also the sin of conniving at evil deeds and not bearing the consequences of evil. But the good man should be exceeding, and the third is unjust!
Generally speaking, the Buddha is the only way to cultivate the mind, but because of his behavior of escaping the world, the loopholes in the chaos, and the superstitious words, it can only be cultivated as a secondary method, not as the main method, and when practicing, only take its essence, do not enter its teachings, and lose the heart of the Tao! contrary to the times of the day.
The Chinese cultivated the Tao and were elected as the three religions. The law of the three teachings should be based on Confucianism as the body, Tao as the bone, and Buddha as the heart. If you pass through the Holy Realm, then the three religions will be one, and you can get the origin, and there is no distinction between you and me!
