Please recommend a way to increase your faith by studying Buddhism Confidence is urgently needed Tha

The Buddha said that only evidence can know.

Reading the second chapter of the Lengyan Sutra, King Bosnian asked the Buddha if there was an afterlife after death, and the Buddha's teachings.

What the Buddha taught is something that you can't see or touch in another dimension of space, which is very difficult, so it is impossible to read it clearly once and clearly, so it is recommended that you read it carefully and carefully in a state of tranquility, so that you can read it about 20 times, and you should be able to personally witness that there is an afterlife after death.

When you know for sure that people have an afterlife, it's hard for you not to study Buddhism.

To be honest, I'm also looking for something at that level, and I really can't find anyone to talk to and add me.

It is difficult to learn Buddhism, and confidence proves that the blessing is thin.

What you need to strengthen is not faith in the Dharma, but confidence in yourself. Is there such perseverance that can persist in the early stages of Dharma practice? Because at the beginning of practicing the Dharma, karma will appear, and there will be a year or even a few years that will not go well (everyone is different), as if the whole world is working against you to prevent you from studying Buddhism, but after this period has passed, it will become more and more smooth.

So what you need is to increase your confidence in yourself.

In addition, the person who cultivates the lower root apparatus slowly can become the person with the middle root apparatus in the future, and the person who cultivates the middle root apparatus slowly will become the person with the upper root apparatus. So there is no need to envy those who can become enlightened by reading a Buddhist scripture or even listening to a verse, they are all people who did not know how many lives they had practiced in their previous lives, and who have made offerings to the Buddhas of countless directions.

Therefore, only by encouraging oneself and persevering is the right thing to do.

Finally, let me tell you, in fact, people who believe in Buddhism do not 'believe' in Buddha, but do not believe or doubt, the day you become enlightened, you will understand that enlightened people do not regard Buddhism as a kind of faith, and secular beliefs are completely different things, but you don't have to participate in this too early, and practice step by step.

Faith is belief, everything is idealistic, and you don't need to see the so-called effects and benefits to have faith and enhance your confidence.

You can read some introductory textbooks, as well as some teachings by eminent monks.

If you study hard, keep going, and follow it to the end, your faith in the Dharma is growing every day, which means that you haven't done it yet.

Amitabha.

Clear-sightedness. In this way, you know that the heart is everything.

1. Lettering.

The so-called "superstition", the Buddha is a saint, and we believe in the saint;

2. Produce results.

The results of studying Buddhism, for example, the realization of one's desire to seek Buddhahood, one's own practice to attain the Buddha's teachings, etc., can enhance the confidence of learning Buddhism;

3. Rationalize. Studying and mastering the teachings strengthens the faith in learning Buddhism.

In the above-mentioned situations, it is easy to lose faith when encountering obstacles, and the third mentioned reason can strengthen the faith in learning Buddhism, and it is not easy to retreat.

Listen to the scriptures and study the classics.

Learn from each other, discuss, and support each other with colleagues. Be close to good knowledge.

Concentrate on chanting Buddha, chanting sutras, holding mantras, and praying.

I will be more and more confident!

Ask yourself why you want to study Buddhism?

Is there any other solution besides studying Buddhism?

Is what the Buddha said true and valid? Why should I believe?

If nothing else can be solved by understanding, then I firmly believe in him and no longer doubt it!

Think through the problem, don't let yourself avoid and hide, face it, understand it, deal with it. Only when all the doubts are solved can you have full enthusiasm to put into life

I firmly believe that learning Buddhism will bring benefits to myself and my family, and that Buddhism has a long history, so I have confidence if I know more.

Personally, I feel that the first thing to do is to understand the true meaning of Buddhism, to solve your own confusion about the value of life in the universe, and then you will implement it.

Buddha is an ordinary mind, as long as there is a Buddha in the heart, then there is a Buddha everywhere, and life is full of Buddha intentions everywhere. Don't deliberately reach the Buddha realm, you will naturally have the confidence to learn Buddhism!

First of all, you have to be pious, you have to be firm in your faith, you have to be in a certain environment, and you can't let others influence you, so that you can learn well.

Face Buddhism right!

To study Buddhism is to perceive and understand.

If you need to increase your confidence in studying Buddhism, it means that you don't have a strong sense and understanding.

So either you find it boring, or you don't understand what a Buddha is and what it does.

Look at interesting stories about Buddhism to increase interest: for example, the following is a couplet between a monk and Su Dongpo.

Su Dongpo [Dog gnaws on the bones of the river] Master [Water Flow Dongpo Poem] Secondly, listen to Buddhist scriptures, such as the Great Compassion Mantra, and ask for calmness.

And most importantly: kindness into the crowd.

Don't eat oil or meat every day, and think more about the Buddha when you want to eat!

Unwavering belief is like Tibetans believing in Buddhism.

Be grateful and make great wishes. Remember that my life is made by me, I ask for blessings, and may you be auspicious!

I recommend you to read the book "Hu Shi Says Zen". It introduces five ways to help increase the Buddha's mind. I don't know what realm you are in now, but you can start by chanting Buddha on the fifth level.

Tell yourself every day about the benefits of studying Buddhism.

Having a Buddha in your heart strengthens your faith.

The wine and meat passed through the intestines, and the Buddha stayed in his heart. If you can understand it, then you don't have to learn.

I often think of death, life is short, chanting Buddha can not die, there is absolutely no death suffering!

Why do you force yourself to do things that you are not interested in, besides, this is a kind of faith, and faith is not shoehorned in.

In the realm, we might as well experience how the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas "show me the Dharma Truth to liberate me". Keep thinking, "Why should I study Buddhism?" ”

You have to ask the other way around to get the real answer!

Why do I have little faith in the Dharma? Asking yourself this question, you can find the answer without going through others, and it is also a process of enlightenment.

Amitabha.

Excerpt from Venerable Jingkong's "How to Enter the Gate of Dharma".

So you have to know to eliminate disasters and karma. In the past, Venerable Tzuyun was a man from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and he told us in the commentary on the Sutra of Amitayus that the most powerful force to eliminate karmic obstacles is to cling to the name, which is this sentence of Amitabha Buddha. All the karma that can't be eliminated by all methods, all the sutras, all the mantras can't be eliminated, this Buddha name can be eliminated, this sentence Amitabha Buddha is really incredible!

It's a pity that there are very few people who believe, and when there is a disaster, this Buddha name will not work. If you are sick, you will ask the Medicine Buddha to come, and quickly invite him to come and heal the sick; When the disaster comes, hurry up and ask Guanyin Bodhisattva, great compassion to save the suffering, the Buddha name is lost, the heart is messed up, the faith is gone, where can you get the sense? So this induction is a!

The secret of reciting the Buddha is explained to us most thoroughly, and it is also the most clear, simple and concise. The Bodhisattva taught us the four words of pure mindfulness succession. If there is a mixture in the heart, it is not pure, and it is not pure. There are still discriminating attachments and doubts in the heart, which are also not pure; And there are worries and worries, and they are not pure.

This Buddha name is uninterrupted, one sentence after another. This sentence is the secret of chanting the Buddha. How to recite it to be effective?

How can I get rid of my karma? How can I stop my troubles? To be able to break through ignorance?

Can wisdom be born? To be able to get one's heart? It is the sentence of pure thought succession.

This cannot be neglected or taken lightly.

Chanting Buddha is a practice.

It's not emotional comfort.

In the Han region, because of the preaching of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Jizo Bodhisattva, can save people from suffering, so many people want to get some benefits from reality, and people are living too hard in reality.

If you want to have any benefits in this world, you won't be able to take it with you when you die, and you will suffer a great deal of suffering, and if you want to get rid of samsara with such a courageous renunciation, then you can recite the Buddha's strength.

The study of Buddhist faith comes from the following three aspects:

1.Belief in Reason: A point of understanding and reasoning increases a point of faith, and gradually progresses from reading and reciting Buddhist scriptures and listening to the teachings of the Master.

2.The belief of things: It is the specific feeling in the practice, or the use and induction.

The Dharma is true, and as long as the practitioner is truly diligent, whether it is chanting, meditation, meditation, chanting the Buddha, etc., there will inevitably be all kinds of incredible uses and inductions. Many people's faith is strengthened from here.

3.The belief that this is the high state of Buddhism, "believing in yourself" is the Buddha, it is a very high state, almost equal to enlightenment, it is difficult for my generation to understand, read more Buddha.

Confidence comes from two aspects, one is oneself and the other is the environment.

First, from the self-aspect, improving one's self-confidence can strengthen one's own learning, and when one's knowledge is enriched, one's confidence will also be enhanced, and at the same time, one will strictly keep the precepts, practice diligently, and after experiencing the benefits of spiritual practice, one will naturally have confidence.

Second, in terms of the environment, we should get in touch with good knowledge as much as possible, and increase our confidence through contact with good knowledge. At the same time, don't participate in inappropriate activities, go to entertainment venues, etc., and don't talk about non-Dharma topics, so as not to lower your confidence.

If you firmly believe that you can live forever by practicing Buddhahood.

If you firmly believe that even though there are hundreds of millions of people on the earth who have cultivated Buddhahood throughout the ages who have not attained enlightenment, you must be the only one standing above all of them who can attain positive results, then you will be able to increase your confidence.

Believe that you are no different from others.

Everyone is a species of heaven and earth, and their circumstances and encounters are different. Return to the original and restore the old bones, and enjoy a lifetime of happiness.

If you see the nature first, you will not doubt it when the time comes.

To learn Buddhism and become a Buddha, simply put, it is necessary to go through the four steps of "believing, understanding, acting, and attaining" and adopting the six paths of "six paramitas", and go through the three levels of "precepts, concentration, and wisdom", and finally to achieve the right results and become a Buddha on the ground. Let me give you a brief introduction in turn:

1. Belief and interpretation: First of all, we must have faith, and have the determination to follow the footsteps of the Buddha to practice and follow the methods guided by the Buddha, which is called "faith", and Buddhism is also called "developing bodhicitta mind"; Then there will be a monk who is really a monk to explain the Dharma to you, that is, "understanding"; Then you have to do it according to the method taught to you by the monks, that is, linking theory with practice, which is called "doing"; Finally, it is verified from practice that what has been learned is true, which is called "proof";

2. The "Six Perfections of Paramita" are the six paths of spiritual practice, referred to as the "Six Perfections", namely: generosity, forbearance, vows, diligence, meditation, and prajna. In modern parlance, it is simply understood:

Selfless dedication (generosity), enduring grievances and suffering, observance of Buddhist rules and regulations (taking vows), studying hard to move up every day (diligent improvement), and meditating to free one's mind from the control of emotions (meditation) and attain supreme wisdom (Prajna).

3. Precepts and wisdom: This represents the realm of the three levels of practice, the "precepts" are the precepts above, the Buddha tells us what things can be done and what things cannot be done, monks must abide by 250 rules and regulations (Buddhism called "precepts"), female monks (we often say nuns) are 348, if you do not leave home and study Buddhism at home, you only need to abide by five precepts, that is, "hold five precepts" (it seems simple, it is not easy to do). "Meditation" means "meditation", which is the most important way of practice in Buddhism, in the words of the great monks, "A person who meditates may not be able to become a Buddha, but he must become a Buddha without meditation!"

"Wisdom" means "wisdom of prajna", because the word "prajna" contains six different wisdoms, which cannot be translated, but can only be called "great wisdom".

In this way, we can achieve positive results, but for ordinary people, we should start from the "Three Refuges, Five Precepts and Ten Virtues", and start with filial piety to our parents! Parents are the first Buddha on our spiritual path!
