There is no high or low method, the best in every door

Nothing better or worse, the best in every door

Question: The meaning of meditation is too profound. Buddhist friends say that only by practicing Pure Land and reciting Buddha’s name is the fastest and cheapest, and you can be reborn with your karma. Zen is only practiced by people with higher roots. What method should I practice?

Answer: My opinion is that if you cannot finally strictly observe the precepts and repent of all the evil karma you have committed in this life, you will never commit it again. No matter how many Buddha's name and scriptures you recite a day, you will only make a connection with the Buddha and cannot leave the three realms. When you get a human body in the future, you will still have the opportunity to get close to Buddhism. That's all.

Carrying karma refers to karma in the past life. Only by repenting on sins in this life and never committing them again can you be reborn in the past life.The four pure and clear teachings talk about burning a lamp, burning a knuckle, and a incense stick on the body. I say that it is a human being, and the debts that have never started will be rewarded in one moment.It refers to the karma debts of the past life. It does not mean that burning lamps means that after burning incense pillars, you can also be reborn with karma.

Just imagine, how can a person who can only recite the Buddha's name in this life but cannot eliminate killing, stealing, adultery, and alcohol, and cannot practice the ten good deeds. If the karma is not over, how can he be reborn with his past karma? Those who practice Zen Buddhism are also chanting Buddha's name. Photos and portraits of Zen ancestors, including Zen master Mr. Xuyun, are all monks holding rosary beads with their eyes hanging down, and chanting the Buddha's name every time.Sitting cross-legged and meditative is a way to purify the mind.Zen means meditation. Calm down and think about the sins you have committed in the ten evil karmas, sincerely repent, recite the Buddha's name in your heart and dedicate them to all sentient beings you have hurt, and never commit them again. It not only repents sins and eliminates distracting thoughts, but also is a good way to practice Zen. As long as you focus on your mind and not be distracted, and your heart is extremely sincere, you will naturally move the world, and there will be another village of willows and flowers.The saying of "Reciting the Buddha's name is" is to teach you to stop your thoughts at the moment before you recite this sentence, and extend it infinitely.In a place of thought (When you are chanting Buddha's name, who is the true self )No thoughts, like a cat and a mouse, may always be the time to be enlightened. When you practice successfully, you will naturally taste the wonderful taste. The state of eating and being full by yourself cannot be expressed in words. With this concentration, enlightenment is in front of you.

Reciting the Buddha's name is also a way to purify the mind. Replacing other false thoughts by chanting the Buddha's name, the thoughts run away and then pull them back to chant. Over time, chanting the Buddha's name into pieces and in a series. When there is no one or no self, the wisdom of chanting the Buddha's name appears and chanting the Buddha's name is also Zen.

Meditation and chanting Buddha's name are all methods to clean one's mind, and they are methods to purify one's mind, one's not two's, two's not two.The method of verifying the entry is different, but the purpose is one. You can choose which method you think is suitable for you and which method is effective. Once you choose one method, stick to it. Don’t change the method without leaving the state for three days, and you will be fickle. It’s like standing at a crossroads, not knowing which road leads to Chang'an, walking east and then back, and walking west and then having doubts, so you will never be able to reach Chang'an.There is no high or low method, and the best method is the best one.

Practice is our wrong words and deeds. Whether we practice Zen or chanting Buddha's name, it is a way to help you achieve enlightenment and enlightenment. It is a helping factor. The most important thing is to work hard on the ten evils and practice the ten virtues. If you really make a great determination to do this, and be able to persevere, you will attain enlightenment. All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are happy, and the guardians of the eight divisions of the Heavenly Dragon and Dragon are respectful. If you have the Tao, you will have many helps you. One day, your wisdom will appear in one thought. You must know that it is the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who are blessing you.

Over the past ten years, Master Miao and I have met dozens of people who truly keep the precepts and practice good deeds. They are enlightened by Master Miao. In one thought, they have their own characteristics.They did not practice Zen, nor did they keep chanting Buddha's name.Instead, firmly keep the precepts and practice good deeds. When the time comes, someone will naturally enlighten you. (Including enlightenment in the dream of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas )。

Once wisdom appears, ignorance will be destroyed, and it is natural to leave the three realms to achieve the fruit.If a person who does not keep the precepts and continues to be evil and has achieved some evil wisdom by meditation alone, he will lose his way and have few helpers. He will soon be completely blessed and has no wisdom and will eventually fall into hell.

Those who can not only believe in Buddhism, but also begin to keep precepts are those who are superior and those who have been persuaded by others to return to the right path are also superior people. As long as they are diligent and unretreated, they will be able to achieve success in this life.The Four Pure and Pure Enlightenment says that the erotic widows, traitors, slaughter, slaughter, and slaughter, may be the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva Arhats, but it is just because they are confused and unaware of it. Once they look back, they will surely achieve success.

Enlightenment and wisdom are not achieved through cultivation but practice.If you diligently practice precepts, concentration and wisdom, you must eliminate greed and ignorance.No matter which sect or sect, you will not achieve Buddhahood without these ten words. These ten words are also tickets to the Western Pure Land.

The verse of wisdom

There is no fixed Dharma and precepts as the basis, and repent for the true meaning of sins and karma.

Walking, standing, sitting, lying down are both Buddha's chants, and persevere and never move your mind.

If you are not alone, you will be able to find a teacher. There will be another village with dark willows and flowers.
