It turns out that the house is clean and has so many merits!

Pure giving, Pure giving means cleaning the place you live. If you live in a house, you need to practice. The house must be clean and not messy.If the house is not clean and you can't live in it yourself, it will affect your mentality.

So the house you live in must be clean and the Buddhist temple must be clean, and then you can practice it again.The mentality is very comfortable.This has several merits:

1、After you give up, the place you live will become the cause of forming the Pure Land in the future.

2、The place you live is clean, and the eight tribes of the Heavenly Destiny and the Dharma protectors are willing to come here and protect you.You are dirty and he doesn't want to come.Especially for the Dragon King, many guardians are more repelling evil spirits and dirty things. You must be clean and help the guardians protect them.

3、The place where you practice is clean, which is the cause of being a god and a man in the next life, the cause of being reborn in heaven... etc. It has a lot of merit.

So you see, the place where our masters practice is a little different from other things, and some of them practice are very dirty.However, 90% of the places where the masters practice are clean.Others have a path order, and do it in the order of the path order.

The master who practices the stage of Taoism will definitely clean the places where he lives and put things neatly and in an orderly manner.It will be very comfortable inside.The house is dirty and chaotic, and it will be uncomfortable inside because Feng Shui is not good.

The Feng Shui of a person is in line with the Feng Shui of the external environment. If the environment is chaotic, the human heart will also be chaotic, so the environment cannot be chaotic.When you can attain tranquility in chaos, you have already a very high level of practice, but for beginners, the environment must be clean and not messy.Whether reading books or meditating, you must be neat and orderly.

Some people pile all the books on the ground, but they just don’t understand the principle of purity and giving up.The houses in the Kadam Sect were all bright and bright. They should wipe what they should be wiped and what they should be swept, clean, especially the Buddhist temple must be clean.《The Great Prajna Sutra says that taking a seat in a pure place of Bodhisattva means pure giving.

On the other hand, because the dragons and the guardians are afraid of evil spirits, turbid air and dirty things, only when the houses are clean and tidy, will the eight divisions of the dragons and the guardians be willing to protect them.

Here is a story. A master once encountered a little ghost by chance and raised a little ghost.The little devil said to him, Master, you have raised me for so many years, and I want to repay you. I saw that Ani Nianqing has a lot of treasures, so I will steal the treasures for you.

There are many messy things in the place where we live. When I come back from stealing treasures, you will ignite these things outside, and Ani Nianqing will not chase after you.The master agreed and made an appointment to steal the treasure within seven days, and to ignite those messy things on the seventh day.

After the agreement, the master felt that it was not suitable to throw the stolen treasures into those unlucky things, and it was not appropriate to burn garbage outside, so he cleaned the house and lit incense.

The little ghost stole something and returned, and Anni Nianqing also chased after him. The little ghost shouted from afar, Master burned the garbage immediately, burned the garbage quickly, he chased after him.Because the master burned incense and did not burn garbage, Ani Nianqing chased after him and struck the little ghost to death with a thunder.

If the garbage is really burned, because Ani Nianqing is afraid that the evil and turbid air of the garbage will not come.Therefore, if the house is not clean, the guardian god will not come to protect it.

Also, cleaning is merit in order to respectfully welcome Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.This kind of merit is a solemn appearance in the next life, and can become a god and have this blessing.

Pure sect means that practitioners clean up the environment, houses, monks' houses, etc. where they live.Can cleaning your own environment and house become a practice?

As long as your intention changes, it can become practice.When you clean, use all the dust you cleaned out as karma and troubles, and this way of cleaning will bring blessings.

When cleaning, say "sweep dust and remove dirt", "sweep dust and remove dirt". When sweeping the floor, the dust is swept, and the dirt is actually removed. Dirt is karma and troubles.In addition, you can recite a verse:“All foundations are pure, and all the gravels and other things are gone, and they are as calm and soft as the palm of the palm, forming the nature of the glass.”

When reciting this verse, I thought to clean the entire universe and clean all the bad things in the universe, including garbage, gravel, etc.

The entire universe and the earth have become very beautiful, soft as the palm of the palm. After cleaning this way, I think in my mind that the entire earth has become formed of glass, gold, silver and jewelry, and then ask Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, offer offerings, practice the following advances, etc. to do it on this earth.

Your own environment, houses, and the entire earth are cleaned through practice. What kind of merit does this kind of cleaning have?

First, purify one's own mind.If the environment and houses are clean, you will feel comfortable and clean inside;

Second, the hearts of others will also be pure.Not only is one's own mind pure, but it can also make others' minds pure. The environment and houses are cleaned, so it will be very comfortable for others to come;

Third, the good god is happy.There are evil gods, demonic sentient beings, good gods, including guardian gods, etc. These good gods like clean places. If the place is clean, and the good gods come to protect you, they will have the merit of being reborn in heaven in the next life.

What is the greatest merit?Buddhism has three major practices: the practice of wishes, the practice of Pure Land, and the practice of career (sentient beings with mature roots)。Among these three major practices, the practice of Pure Land is to form one's own Pure Land when one is reborn in the Pure Land or becomes a Buddha. Therefore, the merits of Pure Give Up are very extraordinary.

There was once a Bodhisattva Changti. The master of Bodhisattva Changti was the Dharma Saint Bodhisattva. When the Dharma Saint Bodhisattva preached, Bodhisattva Changti often went to clean the venue where he preached and preached, and cleaned it very cleanly. In this way, he accumulated immeasurable blessings and Bodhisattva Changti obtained the tenth stage of Bodhisattva in his life.

There is an arhat called Zhoulipantuka (Sanskrit), which is translated as a small Taoist arhat in Chinese.The little Taoist Arhat is a very stupid person. He can't learn four verses in two or three months.

Sakyamuni Buddha asked him to clean the entire temple, clean the Buddhist temple, and even clean the monk's shoes. Sakyamuni Buddha asked him to often recite "sweep dust and remove dirt" and "sweep dust and remove dirt" when cleaning.When he cleaned like this, the dust in the Buddhist temple became more and more sweeping.He thought to himself, why is there so much dust?It may be because of the power of one's own karma and troubles.

Then he gradually realized the role of karma and afflictions, and then gradually realized the method of eliminating afflictions and eliminating karma. He understood everything through cleaning and finally realized the Arhat fruit.
