How to practice the Dharma in a busy life

The root of Buddhism is kindness, and as long as you maintain altruistic kindness in your busy worldly life, you are implementing the Dharma and practicing the Dharma.

Most people think that the practice or implementation of the Dharma must be done through prayer, chanting, meditation, etc. There is nothing wrong with this view, because worship, chanting, meditation, etc., are indeed the methods of practicing the Dharma, but they ignore the root of the Dharma, which is altruistic kindness. His Holiness Lama Tsongkhapa said:

The heart is good and virtuous, and the heart is evil, everything depends on one's own heart, so we should strive to cultivate goodness diligently. ”

Therefore, if you can always have altruistic kindness, then all the Dharma will come from your own hands.

First of all, we need to understand:

Studying the Dharma is not just about reading sutras, writing sutras, reciting sadhana, and mantras. Learn the scriptures and listen to the law. Do these as volunteers.

These are all means.

Of course, if a person never has any time to listen to the Fa, and is always busy and busy, and can't take time to think about life, then that's not okay, and that's also being led by karma.

If you have time to listen to the Dharma, do this: read the scriptures, write the scriptures, recite the sadhana, and recite mantras. Learn the scriptures, listen to the law, and do volunteer work.

I don't have time to do that, so I wake up in the morning and start busy with my family.

Isn't it possible to implement the Dharma at this time?

This is the time to put the Dharma into practice.

When I studied in the dojo, I studied wholeheartedly.

When you do things at home, you do things with all your heart.

Take what you learned from the dojo and think about it when you do things, well, what should you do better?

For example, when you take your family to see a doctor, you can use the scriptures of filial piety to your parents that you usually learn.

Taking my mother to see a doctor is the implementation of the Dharma.

Educate children on how to educate. These count.

Studying in the dojo is like practicing.

Working at home is like going to war.

When you have time, you can study more, and use it on the battlefield after learning.

If you don't have time to study, you can record the difficulties and defects on the battlefield. Let yourself know where to improve.

If you are not tempered by the things of your family, what you have learned will be false.

The Buddhist scriptures say this:

[The Buddha told Ananda: "Those who have good intentions and good intentions, listen to the Buddha's Dharma, listen to them with one heart, and can do it in one day;

Not for one day, half a day is OK;

Not half a day, but a while;

Not for a while, but for half an hour;

It can't be half a time, it must be a moment;

Its blessings are immeasurable, and they cannot be counted. —The Buddha Says the Jianyi Sutra

Wisdom: In the past, the Buddha explained all the subtle dharmas thoroughly.

You should act on the basis of the Fa, and don't work your image

In this era, it is better to study at home than at home.

You should make good use of the time, finish your housework, and use your free time to study on your own.

A little bit a day is deep in ten years

In the past, I would mainly be monks, saying that I was able to improve because of the obstacles of the monks in the past

Nowadays, the monastic life only has an image and no connotation, so it is easy to achieve obstacles at home

FYI. I am [the first righteous walker* snail good money].

The Dharma is in the world, and it is not separated from the world. What is spiritual practice? Meditation is about correcting our wrong words and deeds.

There is no contradiction between Buddhism and life. Putting the Dharma into practice. The Buddha told us to be filial to our parents at home and to love our brothers and sisters.

Work hard outside the home, get along well with colleagues, and have the opportunity to help suffering beings. If you are busy with work, you can also chant Buddha. Recite the Buddha when you have time.

If you are very busy, you can use the Ten Recitation Method, recite the ten sentences of Amitabha Buddha in one breath, recite it once in the morning, once before each meal, once before going to work in the morning, once before leaving work, once before going to work in the afternoon, once before leaving work, and once before going to bed at night. Recite it nine times a day. Keep doing this consistently, and it will be effective after a few months.

If we cultivate more blessings, there will be fewer obstacles to learning Buddhism in our lives.

Amitabha! The great virtue can recite the Buddha name [Nam no Amitabha] ten times a day, and dedicate himself to the world of bliss.

What's more important is the belief in the heart and the present of the ten thoughts

The Pure Land Method is the main practice of the afterlife

Master Yinguang taught: Ten thoughts in the morning, one breath is one thought, no matter how many Buddhas there are. This is based on a sentence of Buddha.

If he is twenty or thirty, he will be sick and angry. This is a recitation of a Buddha, a sentence of knowledge. Recite ten sentences of the Buddha, and know ten sentences in your heart.

From one to ten, from one to ten, tens of thousands of thoughts are recited every day, all of which are remembered. Not only to get rid of delusion, but also to nourish the spirit. Go as fast as you go, and there is no hindrance.

From morning to dusk, everything is suitable.

For details, please refer to the [Ten Thoughts of Master Yinguang] and [Master Yinguang's Teaching: All Six Roots, Pure Thoughts Successively].

In addition, there is the help of karma

For example, the Five Precepts and Ten Virtues, the Ten Wishes of the Puxian, the Four Methods, and the Six Paramita are the helpers.

In life, all good should be practiced (five precepts and ten virtues), and all evil should not be done (five rebelliousness and ten evils).

It can be regarded as keeping the vows and cultivating goodness.

In ordinary times, you can also give alms (you can return the merits of chanting Buddha to sentient beings and donate kindly), love words (say more words of praise and encouragement to others), colleagues (put yourself in the shoes of others, maintain empathy, and pass on good knowledge to others), and beneficial actions (altruistic good deeds, no matter whether the other person is good or bad to you, give equal help).

May the great virtues be able to practice the Dharma and ride the Buddha path together!

If you truly understand what the Dharma is, you can implement the Dharma in the midst of your worldly busyness. The ultimate goal of Buddhism is to regain the true self of life, which is the nature of life. If we understand the true and unchanging self, we will not be confused by the five aggregates of the worldly busyness, which are constantly changing and changing, and we will be able to settle down in the true nature of the self at all times, and we will be able to reach the other side of liberation from birth and death.

For example, a person who drifts in a turbulent river does not follow the current, but unswervingly swims to the opposite bank, only to wait until he reaches the river to avoid being swept away by the river. The worldly red dust is like a raging river, find the self of life, and not be confused by the red dust of the five aggregates, so that you can always implement the Dharma in your life.

You just do what you do with bodhichitta. Learn the Huayan Sutra of Good Wealth Boy Fifty-three Ginseng, Fifty-three Ginseng represents all kinds of people and things from all walks of life, how do you deal with all kinds of people and things every day? The Good Wealth Boy will use the 53 ginseng to show you the Dharma, and when you understand it and know how to operate it, you will implement the Dharma in the world.

May these be enlightening to you. Amitabha!

Cultivating the Buddha is not in the form, nor in the place where it is, but in the heart, and if there is a Buddha in the heart, then you can practice anytime and anywhere.

In fact, people can only improve their cultivation in the red dust, and whenever they have nothing to do, they should meditate in their hearts.

You are practicing the Dharma in your trivialities. When you meet the mirror, you don't turn with it. The present moment is bliss. Cultivate the mind everywhere in life. The heart is peaceful, the world is peaceful. Peace of mind, peace of mind, peace of mind, peace of mind.

The wind didn't move, the bamboo didn't move, but the human heart moved. Time is empty. You have been captured by the mortal dust, how can you talk about the Buddha and the Dharma? There are Buddhas in the world, and whoever can meditate is a Buddha. "Empty".

Practice the four mindfulness dwellings. Contemplating the impurity of the body, the dharma is selfless, the mind is impermanent, and suffering is suffering. Close to life, when the usual observation, thinking, remembrance.

Comprehend life with your heart, do your heart like water, and look at life with a smile.

There are too many specific situations, so let's just talk about one of them.

Enter the Tao in a state, maintain clear awareness, capture the information emitted by the universe at any time, and adjust your behavior according to the information.

When you suddenly want to work and receive the information of going to work, then go to find a job, you must keep the state of not leaving the avenue at work, be aware of it, and ensure that you are not tired and tired, and you are not distracted, which is the aspect of doing things;

When you like someone, that is when you receive the information of the universe, you go to get close to someone, as time goes on, you may suddenly get tired of someone you once liked, that is the new information of the universe that you receive, then you have to stay away from someone.

In terms of work attitude, do not leave the avenue, always be aware, and do not be interrupted by the information of the universe. When you really enjoy your work, you work well, and that's the message that the universe sends to you. When one day you start to hate work, the universe has a new message for you, and you need to be ready to leave.

You must always follow the information of the Great Avenue of the Universe, and never have your own subjective consciousness in your heart, and do not have too many subjective greed, likes and dislikes. You must know that your subjective consciousness and cognition are all one-sided and false, and what you see and know in the Great Dao of the Universe is far more true and comprehensive than you are. For example, one day you suddenly receive a message that you hate someone or you hate work, it means that the Great Dao of the Universe has discovered that the other person has done something that should not be done, the good karma has been consumed, the good karma between you has come to an end, and it is about to transform into a bad karma, and the Great Dao of the Universe is implying that you are leaving the other person, implying that you are going to find your new good karma.

Maybe because of your subjective consciousness, you don't accept the reminders of the Great Dao of the Universe, and you continue to cling to your fate, then the final result will definitely make you out of the Great Dao, lose your awareness, work hard and mind, go into chaos, enter into pain, and finally be forced to leave someone or a certain job because of the disaster in the outside world.

In practice, learn to use your time wisely.

It is impossible for everyone to become a monk, and most people who study Buddhism still need to practice at home and take on social and family responsibilities at the same time. Therefore, we must learn to use our time rationally, and we must not cause family conflicts and difficulties in life because of our own practice, which will cause a lot of undesirable conditions. Also, since you have taken refuge in Buddhism and studied the Dharma, you should do it:

More diligent at home than before; Be more active at work; Get along with colleagues more together and harmoniously; Be more tolerant and understanding of your family; More care, love, and respect for one's husband, wife, children, or parents; Be more socially responsible; more love for the country and the nation; Being more compassionate and kind to the poor and needy is what a true student of Buddhism does. ​​

Some people, after studying Buddhism, pretend to be ghosts, crazy, and suspicious, which is very bad! That's shame. Our country has a concept of honor and disgrace, and we Buddhists should also have a correct concept of honor and disgrace, and we should know what is humiliation and what is glory.

To be a good wife and mother, an excellent husband, and an excellent son and daughter at home, and to be an excellent employee, an excellent leader, and an excellent civil servant outside the home, that is the honor of a student of Buddhism. What's more, if you learn Buddhism and behave better than before, not only will you be happy, but many people around you will think, "It's so good to learn Buddhism!" "Not only can you benefit yourself, but you can also benefit others.

Text: Shaba Rinpoche).

Pick up 10,000 yuan on the road and hand him over to the police uncle, that's it!!

Cultivate the Ten Good Karma Sutras, Amitabha!

That is, do not do all evil, but do all good.

Buddha is the mind. The mind is a Buddha. Be a Buddha with your heart.

No fighting, no greed, no selfishness, no self-interest, no lying - that is, the six tenets of the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

Here are a few excerpts from the teachings of good knowledge for encouragement:

Buddhists must first learn to forgive others, forgiving others will produce miracles and restore emotional losses; Forgiving others will be understanding and understanding, like a lamp that illuminates your heart, allowing you to let go of resentment, revenge and jealousy, and having the heart to forgive others will pave a healthy path for your heart.

Buddhists should be faithful, be cautious in making friends, make too many friends, because the good and bad are uneven, sometimes it will be harmful and unbeneficial, and the Buddhists should make good friends and make good knowledge. I hope everyone understands that there is a Buddha in their hearts, and they can make good connections and stay away from bad ones.

Buddhists treat everything with compassion, use wisdom to resolve troubles, be grateful for each other's contributions, and use the Buddhist spirit of human pain to resolve disasters and realize life.

Students of Buddhism cannot "follow my wishes and be happy, and if they do not go with my wishes, they will be angry", and their love and hate will change with the external environment, not only will they not be able to master their own emotions, but they will also become slaves of their own emotions.

Those who study Buddhism must have goals, and to study Buddhism is to become a Buddha, and they must become Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. You must have a big goal in mind, and you can also pick up a thousand pounds of heavy burdens; There was no big goal in mind, and a small grass bent over; The Dharma of the world is passed on to the world, and the Dharma must be spread throughout the world.

To learn Buddhism is to learn to resolve people, things and material things in the world, and there are too many obstacles in the world, how to return our minds to nature? With the beauty of our nature, which is the compassionate mind, the conscience and compassion that we have had since childhood, we can see that the five aggregates are empty. This world is all a colored world, you have to see through it, everything in the world, fame and fortune, is all empty, nothing can be left, "color is empty".

The pain of sentient beings is my pain, that is to say, to study Buddhism in the human world, we should regard the suffering of sentient beings as our own suffering, this is what the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas often say about the pain of people hurting me, and this is the natural beauty of nature.

In today's era, life is stressful, pressure is heavy, and work is busy, what methods and attitudes do we use to study Buddhism? The fifty-three references to the good wealth boy in the Huayan Sutra have set a good example for us. Treat people and things to the outside without looking, inside not moving, this sentence of the Buddha name will be recited well, and the recitation will be effective.

No matter how well you recite the Buddha's name, you can read 100,000 times a day, and the ancients said that the wind can't blow in, the rain can't penetrate, and you can't die. Why? You chant the Buddha's name a lot, but it has no effect and is not effective.

What do you ask for? Seek to be undisturbed. You are two-hearted, three-hearted, seeing and hearing sounds, your heart is confused, how can this work?

I can't read it too much.

So remember, if I cultivate one mind without confusion, I cultivate with a pure mind, and if my heart is pure, the earth will be pure. Exposure to the outside society, the outside personnel have come to disturb it, it is a great blessing for us, why? In this realm, we are constantly testing our own kung fu to be ineffective.

I saw it, I heard it, and I was troubled, and I couldn't do it. That's the Bodhisattva, that's my teacher! He came to tell me:

You can't do it, you can't do it! When you face these people and things, you are unmoved, and you are very pure, and he will tell you: Your kung fu is effective.

The so-called "refining the mind through history" is to exercise one's pure heart and one's equanimity in personnel affairs, so that one can attain the Buddha's path. Leaving these people and things, you go to ** to repair? You don't have a place to fix it!

Therefore, we must understand this truth in our practice. If you say that you leave all these unsatisfactory personnel environments, how blessed will you be? Not even Shakyamuni Buddha could do it.

There are Devadatta outside the Shakyamuni Buddha Sangha, there are six groups of bhikshus inside, and many of his disciples are disobedient and mischievous. Even Shakyamuni Buddha can't get a day of purity in his lifetime, you want to be pure for a day, how blessed are you? We can't help but be enlightened!
