A virtuous personality is the basis of practice
Studying Buddhism is based on a virtuous personality. If a person has a bad character, the Buddha's career cannot be borne, and your devil's obstacle will be very sad.Many times, you don’t rely on the Dharma to pass the test, but the key is to look at your character. If your character is not good, you will not be able to pass the test test and the real benefits of Buddhism cannot be revealed.
If you don’t have such virtuous character in the world, you can’t be practicing Buddhism.The essence of the teachings of all Buddhas in the ten directions is reflected in our good body, speech and mind.If a person has poor language, bad heart, and bad behavior, no matter how many thousand Buddhas preach to you, what's the use of passing on the tips?
Being a good person is the bottom line for the disciples of the Three Treasures
It doesn’t matter if we cannot realize “emptiness” right now, we must at least quit evil and cultivate good.A physical Bodhisattva in Jiuhua Mountain often said during his lifetime: "Good people are good at themselves, and bad people are bad at themselves."Please remember this sentence and be a good person.We must abstain from evil and practice good, at least become a good citizen, be a good husband, a good wife, a good daughter, a good mother at home, and a good employee at the company.
When learning Buddhism, you must first do a good job. Even wearing Buddhist beads is not something you can wear. You must have some moral character, otherwise the faces of the Three Jewels will be thrown away.We disciples of the Three Jewels must have a bottom line. This bottom line is to be a good person, believe in cause and effect, good will be rewarded with joy, evil will be rewarded with suffering, and the karma will not be destroyed. When the cause and condition will be encountered, the consequences will be borne by oneself.
Being a good person is our only choice, not because society requires you to be a good person, but because life has no other way out, only the way to go home with awareness.
Life is composed of both matter and spirit. The body is born and destroyed, and the spirit is neither born nor destroyed.When a person dies, no material things can be taken away, but the karma of the spiritual world will follow you to the next life station, which determines the quality of your next life.In this case, do you still dare to be a bad person?The cause is what you do, the result is what you receive. The so-called "self-inflict" is this principle.
Buddhism teaches us, "Don't do any evil, do all good, and purify your own mind, which is all Buddhist teachings."Being a good person and being a bad person is entirely your choice.Learning Buddhism will slowly awaken our human nature, establish a positive attitude towards life, and truly become a capital person, and only after decades of life will it become valuable.
Respect only Buddha, complete in personality
Master Taixu, a modern spiritual leader in China, said, "Relying on the Buddha, we will complete it in our personality.When a man becomes a Buddha becomes a Buddha, it is called true reality.”
“Respect only Buddha”, Buddha is our goal in life;"Complete in personality", practice in ourselves;The Buddha's education was completed in the body and mind, and "A man becomes a Buddha becomes a Buddha";When a person's life is perfect, his practice will be perfect, "This is called true reality."
The mind of learning Buddhism is very important. The four infinite minds are a good standard for our practice. There are infinite compassion, joy and giving, infinite compassion, infinite compassion, infinite compassion, infinite joy, and infinite giving.Some of them look simple, but they require us to practice for the rest of our lives. If you really do it, your heart will shine immediately, and your heart will be from 14 K Become 18 K , then the color will change, and the light and merit will also change.
To ask for a law, first become a magic tool
In this life, one must show wisdom, realize the great way, and be able to educate sentient beings. The most important basis is to have a virtuous personality and a solid personality foundation, which is very, very important.Like Master Sixth Patriarch, he was short and his master could not pound rice even if he arranged for him to pound it, and his weight was not enough.He tied a stone to his waist and pounded it like day and night.
This counterweight stone is still retained in Huangmei Wuzu Temple. Master Huineng has put it on his waist for eight months.Master Fifth Patriarch asked him: Don’t you work hard like this?Huineng replied: All Buddhas have lost their bodies as Dharma, how can I be considered hard work!It was because Master Fifth Patriarch saw this that he passed the Dharma to him, knowing that only by passing it to him can the Dharma be carried forward.
Some people say, “Master, I seek the Dharma."Are you ready?"If you seek the Dharma, is it for you?Or are you doing the Dharma?If you are not prepared, how can you tell you about this method?
Therefore, if you want to seek Dharma, you must first become a magic tool.This is also because of respecting the Dharma. Otherwise, if you do not respect the Dharma, I will also end up being a sin of blasphemy.
Why did the Fifth Patriarch surround the Sixth Patriarch with a cassock before telling him the Diamond Sutra?"He should not dwell on anything and give birth to his mind." Not only did he understand, but he did his behavior and achieved his proof.Master can forget his body when he sees his work, let alone the Dharma.
Therefore, a person who is worthy of being a great man must not only be talented, but also have character.If the Sixth Patriarch did not have this character, would the Fifth Patriarch finally call him into the room and put him in secret?That won't be.
