Some people don t understand whether taking refuge in Buddhism is escapism?

Many people see Buddhism as an escape from reality, and very few people are able to escape from the illusion that we mistake for reality. If you can escape from the illusion of materialism, you are already very accomplished. In fact, what Buddhists have to do is to escape from illusions, so Buddhism is facing reality, not escaping it.

People think that reality is saving money, buying expensive bags, having a better job, having a lot of possessions, but even intellectually, some of us know that that is not reality. The habit of longing for such things and treating illusions as reality is very strong.

Our ancestors, Buddha, Shantideva and other bodhisattvas, were not homeless vagabonds. In fact, both the Buddha and Shantideva were princes, the sons of kings, who lived royal lives and enjoyed supreme luxury and comfort. Yet they see it as illusory and painful, and they flee from it.

So, when we take refuge in the Buddha, we are fleeing from this illusion.

Especially in this age of materialism, we measure ourselves by how much we have, to be measured, and completely forget who we really are. The result is that we become so boring and old-fashioned, all wearing the same clothes and everyone having the same illusory goals.

The breadth and profundity of the Dharma cannot be expressed in words. To study the Dharma, we should use Prajna as a boat and diligence as a sail. The combination of faith and wisdom can still be gained! If you are interested in Buddhism, don't forget!

Bow to the Ten Directions Void Realm, all Buddhas, World-Honored !!

The purpose of cultivating Buddha is to escape from the Three Realms.

Those who have taken refuge in Buddhism are taboo in many aspects such as diet, personal life, and home

1. Buddhism. There are many taboos in the diet of monks, among which vegetarianism is the most basic and important. The concept of a vegetarian diet includes not eating "meat" and "fishy". "Meat" refers to vegetables that have a foul smell and peculiar smell, such as garlic, green onions, leeks, etc.

2. The main taboos in Buddhism in personal life are: not to get married, not to accumulate personal wealth, etc. Buddhism believes that monks are responsible for the abbot of the Dharma, the continuation of the Buddha's wisdom and life, and therefore must be a single monk in order to achieve it, and accumulating private wealth is contrary to the original intention of the monks.

3. Bi Ki Chuni.

Male citizens should not enter the squatter houses of nuns, have another person present when speaking to bhikshunis, do not take the initiative to shake hands with bhikshunis, visit bhikshuni monasteries, worship Buddha, and dress neatly. Ladies should also be careful when visiting men's monasteries and do not go to places closed by monks.

4. For lay people at home, Buddhism only requires that they practice a restrained life on a certain day of the month, that is, they do not wear incense decorations, do not watch and listen to songs and dances, and do not sit and lie on high and wide beds. The day of fasting is usually a lunar day.

Beginning. Eight, ten.

Fourth, looking at the sun, two.

Ten. 3. 29th.

5. Buddhism also pays some attention to the title of monks. Chinese generally refer to male monks as "monks" and female monks as "nuns", or "sisters", but this title is inaccurate, especially for nuns.

6. Not eating snacks is also a requirement of Buddhism for monks, which is not only the need for the monk's prestige, but also the monk's practice need. Therefore, when living with monks, it is not advisable to offer smoke to monks. When dining at the same table, it is not appropriate to call vegetarian dishes, toast monks, persuade them to drink, or persuade them to eat meat, and it is not appropriate to propose a toast with monks.

If you take refuge, you must keep the precepts of Buddhism. Teach to practice. Do good deeds. Read the scriptures. Respect the Buddhas, respect the Buddhas. Cultivate ten good karmas. Renew the life of the Buddha.

If you don't take the vows, you have very few taboos for taking refuge, and you can believe in the Buddha and accumulate virtue and do good deeds.

If you take the vows, the main taboos are the five types of taboosDo not kill, do not steal, do not engage in extramarital affairs, do not lie, do not drink.

One of the most important things to take refuge in Buddhism is to wish to be reborn in the blissful Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha, and to recite Nam no Amitabha Buddha exclusively. In addition to this one thing, the others can be followed, because there is the power of the name of Amitabha Buddha to make the Buddha soft touch, kindness, everything is operated by the name, so there is no taboo.

Take refuge in the Buddha and never take refuge in the outer ways of the heavenly demons. Take refuge in the law, and never take refuge in foreign classics. Take refuge in the Sangha and never take refuge in the evil people of the outer way.

Kiss your side, is there anything else you don't understand<>

You can talk to the teacher in detail, so that the teacher can better answer for you, <

Have you received your ordination? At the very least, don't touch the five meats, green onions, garlic, lamb onions and leeks, because these things taste very strong, which will affect the mood of others and lead to disgust. For other things, when you cultivate to a certain realm, you will naturally do things that are equivalent to the realm.

The practice of Maitreya Buddha is divided into three cultivations, secular fate, transformation fate, and cultivation fate.

Buddhism says. The most important thing to enter Buddhism is to liberate our relatives and creditors. We were born to this place.

It is also because of some relatives and creditors. The so-called pro-creditor is formed by "lust and desire to act and know". And these are also formed by the influence of all the sights and people in the world.

Buddhism says that if you are still single. It's better to try to take refuge in the Dharma. And go and pay off the debts of your former creditors. And you will be better suited to take refuge in the Dharma.

But of course. Now I'm here. Because there was a great deal of creditors who followed.

Even if I want to take refuge in the Dharma. And because the previous "lust was affected by the obstacle of wanting to do knowledge", it was difficult to cultivate the Tao. Even if the creditor in this life lets go, it may be because the creditor's evil obstacle in the previous life has not been removed, so when you enter the empty door heart, you really need a firm heart to enter the empty door and reach the late Dharma gate.

But I can only do the so-called "I can't take anything with me, only the sin is with me".

There was a Venerable Master who preached on the Buddha's birthday in Hong Kong. He said, "You think I'm doing well in my practice. But in fact, we are monks. It can only be said to be the first step in the cultivation of the Dharma. He only lingers at the door of the Buddha's path. I haven't been able to become a Buddha yet."

But of course. Man is in the world. Be yourself. It is good to be a socially responsible person. If you want to take it a step further. Determination, firmness, time, will tell.
