Cultivation is to break cause and effect or not to break cause and effect

Cultivation is to break cause and effect or not to break cause and effectEveryone says that if you don't break it, if you don't break it, then you will follow it, if everything is fate, then it will be fate, if you accept fate, then it will be useless for you to learn this. The teacher told you that cause and effect are not used to break, but to cultivate, and people in the world don't understand cause and effect, so they don't know how to cultivate cause and effect, because they don't know how to cultivate cause and effect, so they rush to where they go, and where they go to the river to take off their shoes, this is called charming.

Knowing what kind of cause you cultivate will lead to what kind of effect you will have, this is a practitioner. Knowing cause and effect, and being able to see the unambiguous in the cycle of cause and effect, this is the enlightened person, who transcends the blind phase in the unambiguous place, does not lock the nature in the cause and effect, comes and enters freely, and travels in the eighteen worlds without hindrance, this is the person who has attained the fruition....Freedom to come and go. Therefore, for practitioners, cause and effect are used for cultivation, not for destruction, and if the cause is true, the fruit will be pure, and if the cause is false, the fruit will be delusional.

In other words, what type of cause you cultivate, there will be any type of effect, reciting the Buddha is the cause, and becoming a Buddha is the effect, but that depends on whether your cause is really true or not, whether you use the delusional mind or the ,...Buddha's mindIf you use the mind of the Buddha, the fruit you recite will naturally be the fruit of delusion, and if you use the mind of the Buddha, the fruit you get should be the fruit of the Buddha, so you have to understand what the mind of the Buddha is. First of all, the Buddha nature is not greedy, you should think without greed, the Buddha nature is not resentful, you should be without hatred, the Buddha nature is not confused, not crazy, not upset, not dry, you should be not confused, not crazy, not blistered and not dry, Buddha nature is at ease, you are at ease, Buddha nature is true, you are true as nature, Buddha is inherent, you should not recite the Buddha appearance, but recite the Buddha nature, it is for those who really recite the Buddha, it is for the Buddha who is not reciting the Buddha. Those who recite the Buddha in the world mostly recite the Buddha with delusional intentions, and do not know the true heart of the permanent residence and recite the Buddha nature, but can recite the Buddha nature without leaving the Buddha nature, which is for the mother and child to remember each other, not far from the Buddha, the Buddha nature is peaceful, no annoyance, no anger, no self and slow appearance, you should be peaceful and no annoyance, no anger and no slowness, and the recitation is to not recite the Buddha appearance, but to recite the Buddha nature, if you can recite the Buddha like this, it is to follow the shadow, it is to deeply cultivate the cause of the Buddha, it is to deeply tie the Buddha's relationship, the cause is ripe, and the Buddha land is present.

It is for the lotus flower to open, the heart fragrance appears, if the heart of the five desires and six dusts, and the Buddha is recited, even if the Buddha wishes to die, it is just to be reborn.

Cultivation is the cause, and happiness from suffering is the effect;

When cultivating, the change of fate is the effect;

When practicing, Buddhahood is the effect.

Since that strange incident in 2019, the soul has not healed. The consequences of being framed by at least 3 garbage people also affected daily sleep. Always evoked inadvertently.

Occasionally, I see a sentence that quotes Master Li Shutong: How others treat you is your cause and effect, and how you treat others is your practice. A cause and effect, a practice, makes people sigh.

Yes, whether it is life, work, family, etc., if your current state is a result, then the previous cause is indeed your own creation. If you are down-to-earth and steady, there are so many bad people to harm you? If you rise to a platform and pursue career achievements, you will encounter so many garbage people?

Positive energy, positive people, ** free to frame garbage?

Although I am always wronged and always painful, it is over after all, and it is gone forever. Life is like this, instead of dwelling on the past, it is better to look to the future. Specifically, you are also creating causes now to reap better results for the not-too-distant future.

The so-called practice is actually looking for oneself. You yourself are cowardly in your heart, and you will never repay yourself, so why should you be yourself? After all, there are still so many people who live and work simply, happily, and are your friends and colleagues.

Sometimes I think that if I was stronger, I would report those garbage people, but what could I change? If those garbage people can live the second half of their lives, that's their cause and effect. Or maybe God is lucky for them. What can you do?

Grey sky outside, some sultry weather, rain may come.

But it didn't rain all the time. The sun is always shining after the storm.

Recently, I read Lin Qingxuan's book, which tells the story of a wild fox.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a Baizhang Zen master who was good at preaching scriptures and sayings. The Baizhang Mountain where he lives is 5,000 feet high, but the Zen guests are not far away, and the venue is full. And there was an old man who often listened to the Dharma with the crowd, and when the Dharma was dispersed, he also dispersed.

One day, after hearing this, the old man refused to leave, standing in front of Baizhang as if he had doubts, Baizhang asked him, who are you?

I'm a fox. The old man said. "Like you, I used to cultivate in the mountains and preach the scriptures.

A practitioner came to me and asked me, "Will a great practitioner still fall into cause and effect?" I say, "Don't fall into cause and effect." Because I answered this sentence incorrectly, after I died, I fell into the animal road and became a wild fox for 500 years.

Now that the time has come for me to be a fox, can I ask the master to give me a lecture on this question: Will great cultivators still fall into cause and effect? Let me take off this wild fox.

Baizhang said: "I don't know cause and effect. ”

The old man came to his senses, thanked him and left.

The next day, Baizhang led his apprentices to find the corpse of a wild fox in the back mountain, and his body was peaceful and soft. It's the fox who asked the law yesterday.

Baizhang closed his eyes and pondered, then opened his eyes with a clear gaze, and said to his apprentice: Just one word difference, we fell into evil taste, and became a fox for five hundred generations, when we spread wisdom, how can we be careless?

When I read this, my heart sank, and like the author's perception, I remembered that our daily words, especially those who preach and teach and solve doubts, can not be cautious and mislead others and ourselves?

The so-called cause and effect, according to the Dharma, the great practitioner cannot transcend cause and effect, and is still in the cause and effect, and cannot not fall behind, but can only be ignorant and ambiguous, and is clearly aware of cause and effect, and does not think that he is happy when he obtains good results, and does not think he suffers when he suffers evil consequences, and this is the attitude of true practitioners.

Teach the right way to solve doubts, and take the heart of kindness and cultivation as the original intention of teaching others.

Recently, I saw a sentence: "How others treat me is cause and effect, and how I treat others is cultivation." "When I heard it, I felt a little like chicken soup, and when I thought about it, I was instantly relieved of life.

In the vast sea of people, we may have been obsessed with other people's kindness and revenge, resented other people's wolf hearts and dog lungs, ignorant of good people's hearts, dogs bite Lu Dongbin, hated others, evil people sue first, bite back, so that there are thousands of knots in the heart, difficult to dissolve, the matter has long passed, but the mood has never been able to pass, like a stone pressed on the chest and breathless, so that I can't figure it out and can't figure it out, and I think I'm sick.

Seeing this sentence, I suddenly felt much better, whether it was self-consolation or self-deception, the important thing was that things had not changed, but because my mind had changed, my view of things had changed, and my mood had changed. The same thing, because the view is different, so the result is different, many times we are used to standing in our own position to judge others, empathy, empathy but it is always difficult to do, who can really understand whom? I can only try to understand each other a little more at my own cognitive level.

Returning to our daily life, this sentence is very practical and instructive. In the future, if others treat themselves badly, they will silently say in their hearts: "Amitabha, blame me for not having a good relationship with him in my previous life, let me have more good relationships from now on."

Regardless of whether there is such a thing as karma or not, I think this change of mind alone can help me complain, worry less, and consume less energy. Have more time and energy to think about doing something more meaningful.

If we can learn something from it in good times and bad, then this is the positive feedback that life gives us, so that we can truly understand that "every experience is a valuable asset".

Cultivation is to cultivate the mind, to have a normal mind, to live an ordinary life, and to be so well-off. Saturday.

The evolutionary history of human beings has made it a habit to look for cause and effect when faced with a problem. To know a result, it is necessary to find out the cause of that outcome.

The obsession with cause and effect has led human beings to fall into a misunderstanding in the study of many problems: the world is too complex, and if we pursue cause and effect, the model will be too complex. If you continue to put the why?

You will find that there is no solution to any simple thing. Because the deeper you dig into the cause, the more complex the problem you have to solve.

In fact, a lot of things in the world are random — or at least random events relative to the person involved. So many people buy lottery tickets, why did you win? The mechanics of the lottery are completely out of your control, and it is an absolute random event for you.

Lao Li has a very healthy lifestyle, why did he get cancer? Because the mechanism by which cancer occurs is very random, the vast majority of cancers are caused by random genetic mutations during gene replication.

People often underestimate randomness and imagine a lot of cause and effect.

Programmer Xiao Zhao worked overtime for a long time and died suddenly one day. People are talking about this as "death from overwork", 996 is too inhumane, you programmers shouldn't neglect your health in order to make money? When a tired programmer dies suddenly, it must be overworked, which is not the right logic.

The scientific method requires you to know not only how many programmers are as tired as Xiao Zhao and die suddenly, but also how many programmers are as tired but not dead, how many programmers are not exhausted but also die suddenly, and how many programmers are not tired and do not die - you can know the "correlation" between sudden death and exertion by counting these four values. And correlation is not necessarily causation.

So the right way to deal with the world. Or should you live in the moment. If it's obviously random, there's no need to delve into the logic of cause and effect.

Thinking less about cause and effect will make your life simpler. Less lock-up** and less anxiety can make you more focused on the things you should focus on.

Therefore, it is a false proposition that everything is cause and effect!

The Buddha and Bodhisattva are not subject to karma, this is slandering the Buddha, see [Wisdom Bodhisattva Asks the Great Good Power Sutra] and other scriptures.

Baizhang Huaihai asked, "Who are you?" ”

The old man said, "I am not a human being, but I used to live on this mountain when I was a Buddha in the past, because a scholar asked, 'Do monks still fall into cause and effect?' ’

I say, "Don't fall into cause and effect." Then I have been in the wild fox body for 500 lifetimes, and today I ask the master to give me a lecture and let me get out of the wild fox body. ”

Hearing this, Zen Master Baizhang Huaihai was a little surprised, but immediately regained his composure and said to the old man, "You ask." ”

The old man asked, "Do ordained practitioners still fall into cause and effect (governed by the law of cause and effect)?" ”

Baizhang Huaihai Zen Master said: "There is no cause and effect. ”

When the old man heard this, he came to his senses and hurriedly said, "I have left the wild fox and live behind the mountain. Ask for the resurrection of the dead monk. ”

Baizhang Huaihai Zen Master immediately gathered the monks and sent them away after the meal.

Everyone is talking, everyone is good, and there are no dead people, why do you send the dead monk after dinner? Who died, everyone was at a loss.

After the meal, Baizhang Huaihai Zen Master led all the people to the bottom of the rock behind the mountain, picked out a dead wild fox with a cane, and cremated the ...... according to the laws and regulations of Buddhism

After all, those who are ordained are not yet perfect, more or less, will be affected by cause and effect, except for the Buddha.

The answer to this question is not so difficult to think of, in fact, it is not ignorant of cause and effect, but it is still wrong, because not all people who practice Buddhism are ignorant of cause and effect, if all people who practice Buddhism are ignorant of cause and effect, why do many monks break their vows? Hehe.

If it is not ignorant of cause and effect, but also wrong, it seems that Baizhang Huaihai Zen Master is also going to fall into the wild fox body.

If you say that if you don't fall into cause and effect, you will fall into a slow increase, and because of pride and arrogance, you will fall into the wild fox body, all because he is not happy to hear more Buddhist scriptures, not happy to think more about the Dharma, and not enough to see and think about the Dharma, so that this kind of arrogance and evil views will come out.

It is not so much that he misled sentient beings, but that he was the victim of his own arrogance and lack of cultivation.

If he was right at that time, then unless he had become a Buddha and his body was like a void, then he would no longer fall into cause and effect and all kinds of six colored bodies.

Why do I say it's possible? Because there is not only one answer to this question, the answer to this question can only be made according to the level of the person you are referring to as a practitioner.

Although there are many answers, in general, there are three kinds, one is indeed a person who does not fall into cause and effect, but this kind of person is the least, one is a person who does not know cause and effect, this kind of person is very rare, and one is a person who is not aware of cause and effect, and this kind of person is the most.

You may be asking, why does the first type of person who does not fall into cause and effect happen? According to the examples of several stories in the Ahama Sutra, those people who have attained nirvana have no cause and effect, so this answer is generated, and of course the Buddha himself is also a special case.

But this kind of person who does not fall into cause and effect is a very diligent person, and this old elder, because he is not such a person, so he makes an answer that does not fit himself, and he will be punished by the wild fox body, because generally speaking, we should take the majority as the standard, not a very few.
