Is reciting the Heart Sutra more merit than the Great Compassion Mantra?

When everyone recites the Heart Sutra, many people can recite it. However, it seems that many people still recite the sutras just like a young monk chanting sutras without any thoughts, or they do not have a clear meaning and do not understand the principles in the sutras.This will not understand the meaning of the sutra, but just reading and reciting will be of great merit. However, if you can further understand the meaning of the sutra and then uphold it, it means reading and reciting and upholding it, "understanding and practicing together", and this merit will become perfect, which is truly called incredible merit.

Equality of laws and regulations is not high or low

《The Heart Sutra tells us that all dharmas are "not born or destroyed, neither dirty nor clean, neither increasing nor decreasing". They are all the same, equal and equal, without any difference.In the Diamond Sutra, the Buddha also directly told Subhuti: "Subhuti!This law is equal, and there is no superiority or inferiority."Everything in the world and transcendental dharmas is equal, and the 84,000 Dharma doors of the worldly Dharma are also equal.

All Buddhist scriptures are said by the Buddha, equality is like honey in a bottle, and there is a sweet taste next to it, full of fructose and glucose.I often hear some people say that this sutra is good but that sutra is not good;This method is superior and that method is inferior. These are all wrong knowledge and views, not correct views of Buddhism.

You said that the geography is good in middle school courses?Or is it better to physics?Or is it better in Chinese?All are good, you must learn, treat everyone equally, and treat them equally, and do not value one or the other.For the sake of easy understanding of everyone, the Buddha often uses medicine to compare Buddhism.Which medicine is better?All are good, no medicine is valuable, every medicine is very important, and it must be placed on the medicine rack and should not be neglected.

It is wonderful to have equal laws and equal opportunities

Although laws and laws are equal, they must be able to respond to the opportunity, which is good for this practitioner.If you recite the Heart Sutra, you will be in response and have a response, so the Heart Sutra is the best for you.If you recite the Great Compassion Mantra, it will be easy to respond and have a response, so the Great Compassion Mantra is the best for you.If you recite Amitabha Buddha, it will be easy to respond and have response, so chanting Amitabha Buddha is the best for you.

The so-called first method comes from here.There is no high or low medicine, everything is good medicine, and it is not judged by the price.Although there is no high or low in medicine, it is a good medicine to treat the disease.For example, if you have a cold, and this 2 yuan cold spirit can cure your cold, then this cold spirit is a good medicine for you, and a 100 yuan heart disease medicine is not a good medicine for you.

This is true when you recite any sutra or practice any method. If you have any experience with this sutra, you can recite this sutra, and this sutra is your best.If you practice this method, you can easily respond to it. You can practice this method, and this method is your supreme method.

After knowing this, you will understand: Why is the Buddha talking about this sutra when he preaches this sutra, and the sutra when he preaches that sutra.Some sutras are completely inconsistent with the content of the sutra, but this does not hinder the harmony of the Dharma. This is the entire Dharma.Just like a teacher who teaches mathematics should say that he should learn mathematics well, and a teacher who teaches geography should say that he should learn geography well. It seems contradictory, but it is actually not hindered.

This is a skillful and convenient teaching.Also, due to different degrees and different understandings, Buddhism calls different roots, so the contents are also different. This is because of different points of foothold, which are all skillful teaching.There is only one purpose, which is to benefit the audience and listeners.

“What kind of sutra should you recite?“Generally speaking, if you seek rebirth in the Pure Land or to be reborn for the undead, you should recite Amitabha Buddha and the Amitabha Sutra;To pray for the security guards, chant the Great Compassion Mantra and the holy name of Guanyin Bodhisattva;If you pray for health, you will recite the "Medicine Buddha Sutra", etc.This is the general saying.

From the perspective of the harmonious sense of Buddhism, it is that one Buddha possesses all Buddhas, one Dharma contains all Dharmas, one and two, two means one. Therefore, no matter what happens to you?Why the purpose?You can recite this sutra or that sutra. You can achieve this goal by reciting all sutras.There is one thing that is very important here, and it should be noted, that is, "dedication", the key lies in dedication, not scriptures.

Reciting all Buddha's names, reciting all sutras, and even doing a good deed are all merits.Now, what are the uses of these merits?Is it to save the undead?Or is it your own health?Using these merits to save the dead is the effect of "dedication".

We can also use this metaphor: chanting this Buddha, chanting that Buddha, chanting this sutra, chanting that sutra is like being a lawyer, an accountant, or a doctor. No matter which job it is, the labor force will eventually turn into wealth - wages.This salary is like the merit of our chanting scriptures.Now, we will use the wages to buy clothes?Or a hat?This is determined by "dedication".It can be seen that dedication is where to use its merits.

If you think it is more accustomed to reciting the "sutra" and "mantra", or you have been reciting it for a while, then you should continue to practice well. The key to practicing is to go deep into one subject, persevere, and be sincere and will be spiritual.Now, some people think that the more words recite the sutra, the more new words the more merits the more merits it will be. In fact, this is not the case. This is also a misunderstanding in chanting sutras.Reciting all sutras and mantras will bring about the same merits, and there is no difference between good and bad. The key lies in respect and piety.

Law enforcement disputes

Enforcement of the law refers to being attached to Buddhism.Being persistent and prejudiced is not allowed.Jia said: "Reciting the Heart Sutra has great merits!"B said: "Reciting the Great Compassion Mantra has great merits!"The two sides debated from morning to night, blushed and no conclusion was found.In the martial arts farm, you may have to draw your sword and fight.Why bother!It’s because they don’t understand Buddhism.Those who are confused have different laws, while those who are enlightened have no more or less laws.When you understand Buddhism, how can you argue?80,000 Buddhism, one enlightenment.There are 84,000 Buddhist teachings, and you can understand the truth by mastering any of them.Only one is enough!
