Is it true that being a monk is the highest state of cultivating Buddhism?

Buddhism is not the highest state of monasticism. Ordination is a form, a form of diligent, ordained practice. What is pursued is the spiritual realm, and it is also possible to cultivate the bodhisattva path at home, which is the same liberation. This has nothing to do with ordination.

First of all, it is necessary to understand that practice is a process, and there is no supreme statement. Studying Buddhism and practicing Buddhism is the highest state when the final result is Buddhahood. Becoming a monk is one of the better ways to learn Buddhism, but the purpose of becoming a monk is mainly to promote Buddhism and purify sentient beings, followed by one's own liberation and liberation from birth and death.

In fact, many lay people who are at home do not need to be monks at all, and it is okay to practice at home on their own. In our world, those who have studied Buddhism and practiced liberation from birth and death are called "shravaka", and there are also people in the universe who have never heard of the Dharma because of other causes and conditions that have reached the state of liberation from birth and death. There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!

The Dharma is in the world, and it is not separated from the world. With the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, realize the Buddha nature. It is hidden in the city, and the lively place is clean.

In the sophistication of the world, see through and let go. Becoming a monk at home is a practice, depending on the fate of each person. The test of fame and fortune is often more than that of ordinary people, and the important thing is to cultivate the mind.

The home where the heart is out of reincarnation is the real monk. The Buddhas of the three worlds have attained the three bodhisattvas of the three bodhisattvas according to the Prajnaparamita. Therefore, when cultivating a Buddha, one should practice Prajnaparamita, and if he does not move in all realms, it is a true practice.

Nan no Guanyin Bodhisattva!

No. The so-called "if the heart is to the Buddha, the Buddha is in the heart, the heart is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the heart!" Therefore, in my opinion, "ordination" is just an excuse and excuse for some people to avoid facing the world!

No, walking, living, sitting and lying can be practiced, and the realm of monks such as Li Bai, Su Dongpo, Nan Huaijin, etc. is also very high.

Of course not! Cultivating Buddhism and cultivating the Tao is actually nothing more than peace of mind.

So! Whether you leave the house or not, as long as your mind can calm down and have less desires, your realm will become higher and higher.

Masters are often hidden in the market.

It is okay to become a monk, or it is okay not to leave home, and the emphasis is on cultivating the mind.

Sincerity is spirituality, first of all, don't do immoral things.

The highest saying in Buddhism is to always forgive sentient beings.

In the practice of Buddhism, there is also a famous saying about the realm of cultivation, which is the "six Buddhas" put forward by the founder of Tiantai Sect in the Sui Dynasty, the wise master: 1Reason is Buddha, 2

The name is the Buddha, 3Contemplation is the Buddha, 4Resemblance is the Buddha of the Sleepy Void, 5

The Confession is the Buddha, 6In the end, that is, the Buddha.

The highest realm of the Buddha is defeated and trembling, generally speaking, it is to reach the realm of the true heart after seeing the nature of the mind. In Buddhism, the specific noun of Miao Ming sincerity is truthfulness, that is, the circle becomes reality, that is, the Dharma realm, and the Dharma nature. In terms of wisdom, it is Bodhi, and in terms of eliminating afflictions, it is called Nirvana, both of which are in this state.

This realm is from relative to absolute.

Things in the world are relative, and when we reach this realm of self-proof, it is not something that can be expressed by words, this is an inconceivable realm, it is an absolute realm, and we cannot speculate on it with our minds, just like people know that they are warm or cold when they drink water, and you don't know whether it is hot or cold if you don't drink that water, it's the same truth.

Does the Pure Land on Earth refer to the Pure Land of Maitreya? When will it be realized? In the Buddhist scriptures, when Maitreya is born in the future, everyone will be able to practice the five precepts and ten virtues, know the cause and effect, and it will be the pure land on earth.

The Buddhism of life advocated by Master Taixu and the Pure Land on Earth advocated by Zhao Pulao are such a Pure Land.

The meaning is as follows: When a monk cultivates, he cultivates the mind, so he should always look at his own mind. Whether it's the wind or the flags, what does it have to do with spiritual practice? If you pay attention to your mind all the time, you won't worry about these problems. Therefore, the six ancestors said that it was their own hearts that were moving!

Keeping the vows of a monk is a true monk.

Take the precepts as a teacher, promote the Dharma and benefit the living.

Dear friends, today I want to tell you the meaning of studying Buddhism and becoming a monk: in fact, many people misunderstand the meaning of these two, thinking that as long as you become a monk or a nun, as long as you don't kill, eat vegetarian food, and don't be a prisoner, you are cultivating! Then there are many monks and nuns who continue to show themselves and chic on the Internet.

Sentient beings can read the scriptures "Jade Calendar Treasure Money" and "Jizo Bodhisattva Original Sutra" and many books. The great King of the Earth Bodhisattva spends his days and nights with the dead, and he can't finish his body with a thousand hundred thousand bodies, why?

Because mortal beings continue to kill and commit chaos in order to enjoy themselves, eating, drinking, prostituting and blocking countless karma and body karma, and constantly falling into hell to suffer, the bodhisattvas can't bear to suffer sentient beings, and they themselves work hard to save them, how many people have felt sorry for the good intentions of the bodhisattvas?

Guanyin Bodhisattva responds to all requests, they don't have time to expose themselves, study every day, preach the scriptures and Dharma, save sentient beings and respond to their needs, and Guanyin often goes to hell to preach the scriptures and say the Dharma to save the dead. The Buddha lived in the world, and now the monks have food and drink, basking themselves all day long, getting lost, and not knowing what they are going to do? Enjoy it so much that all beings envy it, you are not as good as me not leaving home.

Although I am not a monk, I do good deeds and accumulate virtue for sentient beings all day long, recite longitudes to the dead, study the Dharma, persuade wicked people to rule good, embroider Bodhisattva portraits, earn money to support my family, and so on.

In fact, you don't have to be a monk to learn Buddhism and practice, as long as you devote yourself to the Buddha, do good deeds and accumulate virtues, continue to study scriptures and Buddhism, strive to save sentient beings, and surpass the dead, you have to do many things. That's what the monks do. A monk who is idle all day long, constantly exposing himself, and not doing anything, this is a monk, and there is no merit in being a monk.
