Master Da'an: Will you not suffer evil karma after being reborn in the Pure Land? Do you violate the theory of cause and effect?

Cause and effect

Layman:The Master once said that after rebirth, all evil karma in the past will not be required to be borne by Amitabha Buddha. Isn’t this contrary to the theory of cause and effect?In the past, Zen masters mistakenly said that they did not fall into cause and effect, but suffered from the body of a fox for five hundred lifetimes. Is there the same worry? Because we also learn from Master’s teachings to others.

Mage:We say that after being reborn in the Western Paradise, the evil karma of the past will be borne by Amitabha Buddha. This is based on the holy words and is also the position of the great masters of the ancestors.

The Pure Land Dharma is a special method, which is very different from the causal law of the general method.The general Buddhist teachings are the cause of cultivationAchievement,One hard work brings rewards, one can eliminate one's confusion and one can prove one's true. This is such a thingPracticesequence.

The method of reciting the Buddha's name is to use the fruit awareness as the causal heart, which is to give us the fruit that Amitabha Buddha has achieved, so that we can accept it as the causal heart for our practice.Once this practice of mind is accepted, it is to accept all the fruits of Amitabha Buddha.

When we are reborn in the Western Paradise, we still have evil karma.This evil karma is used as the seed of Alaya consciousness.When you arrive in the Western Paradise, although you have seeds, you will not have the present without fate.Seeds are in place, mustcauseHarmony.Just having seeds and without this fate, there will be no present.For example, this seed can take root, blossom and bear fruit.However, this seed must be sown on the ground, with soil, sunshine, rain and dew, before it can grow.If this seed is placed on the table, it will not grow without soil and sunshine.Although it has the function of growing seedlings, it cannot be found without fate.

Then the same is true for rebirth in the Western Pure Land. Although we have the seeds of evil karma, the Western Pure Land does not have any conditions for the seeds of evil karma to be present, so it does not have the current action.

The compassion and light of Amitabha Buddha triggers the good seeds in our Alaya consciousness, allowing the good seeds to continue, and receive the blessing of Amitabha's vows, and you will soon be able to break ignorance and reveal the Buddha's nature.At the same time, the seeds of the evil karma of the Alaya consciousness will wither and even be completely eliminated.Because the seeds of evil karma - these seeds are also false laws produced by the false mind.If our realityPrajnaWhen the heart arises, it is like the sun rises into the sky, and these sins disappear completely like frost and dew.In this sense, we say that it is borne by Amitabha Buddha.To be specific, it is to release all the seeds of evil karma in the Western Paradise by Amitabha’s compassionate vows.Therefore, there is no need to suffer the evil karma of the past in the Western Pure Land.Why?Because it will never afford to be present and will be eliminated soon.The process of elimination does not depend on self-power, but entirely on Amitabha’s compassionate vows.
