How to correctly protect monks and practitioners?

Can you tell me how to protect monks and nuns at the end of the law? Under what circumstances can we support them and what cannot? A： It's hard to say. Will offend people. It depends on your wisdom and careful observation. A monk really practices like Buddhism. In fact, protection and support are a great blessing.

How to correctly protect monks and practitioners?

In the past few days, we have heard some of the ten great good deeds sutras. Although we haven't finished listening, we will have a meeting VCD Out. You can see them later. ”“Practice” means correcting one’s own wrong behavior. He can really get rid of the evil and be wholeheartedly good. He can practice according to the ten great good deeds in his body, mouth and soul. If he does not practice like this, he will not be a practitioner. We should not only look at others, but more importantly, we should be willing to practice. If we don't do this, we can't see if others are actually practicing.

As for what environment can you offer? It is necessary to offer when he lacks it, and he must help when he is in trouble, without adding icing on the cake. His life is already very good, and if he goes to offer it to him, he will often make mistakes. We must know that under the purity of hard practice, people often have a little heart of Tao. After fame, wealth and cultivation come, the heart of Tao will disappear, greed will arise, and we will harm these practitioners. Therefore, Buddhism teaches lay disciples that offer to monks is limited to four things, called offering to four things. The first is "diet". He needs to eat, but he doesn't have anything to eat, so we give him some food; the second is "clothing". He has no clothes to wear, so we give him a piece of clothing, so there is no need to give him too much, as it will become greedy if it is too much; the third is "bedding gear". You must not sleep at night, and you must offer him bedding when you sleep; the fourth is "medicine", which provides him with medicine when you are sick. Offering the four things is in accordance with the Dharma.

But now, many people offer money for the four things. It is terrible to offer money. The more money the more greedy the more, the more heart of Tao is gone. The Buddhist scriptures say, "Accumulating wealth and losing the way." This kind of offering brings monks to the three paths, and this is what we did wrong. However, monks cannot accept all offerings. This is what the Buddha said that we should have compassion to create blessings for all sentient beings. But we have to think about whether we are truly eliminating evil and cultivating good, and are truly qualified to be the blessing field of sentient beings? Have we monks ever thought so? If it is not the blessing field of sentient beings, and sentient beings come to offer us, we will be in debt. The ancients said: "A grain of rice for the donor is as big as Mount Sumeru. In this life, he will not be able to reach the Tao, and he will return with his hair and horns. 」This is a true fact.

Today we choose the Pure Land Method. In other words, we cannot be reborn in the Western Pure Land in this life. All the donors we receive become debts. We must pay back the debts when encountering fate in the next life and every life. We must all understand the truth and truth here. Only those who are lay people know how to practice offerings and protect them, and only those who are monks know how to accept offerings. I understand this principle, and I am also very worried and scared. So if you all offer me, I will offer to the lay Buddhist forest and the Pure Land Society. I never open the red envelopes you gave me, and they all belong to them. Why? They will pay back the debts in the future, but I won’t pay them back. If I want to collect them, I will pay them back. I will give them this hand. It will be their business in the future, not mine. We must be wise and do it in accordance with the law.

Summary: This is the end of the introduction to how to correctly protect monks and practitioners. I hope it will be helpful to you!
