    The best way is to cultivate the mind, starting from the first thought of the moment, the evil thoughts must repent and reform, the good thoughts should grow with joy, and only the evil and the good cultivation can be in line with the spirit of the Bodhisattva. Listen to the scriptures and learn more about the Dharma to increase wisdom. Only the perfection of the two resources of blessing and wisdom is the perfect path of Buddhism.

    Whether it's simple and straightforward, or whether it's a Pure Land method or a good Pure Land method, of course, depends on your root nature. But no matter which method you cultivate, you have to cultivate the two qualities of blessing and wisdom.

    The practice of lay monks is more like the Dharma, let's practice meditation, it's not that he is better than that sect, but this Dharma is completely self-reliant, not by others, and it is Mahayana, if you really want to cultivate, we can cultivate together, and don't look down on the Pure Land Sect, although I don't practice that method, but I can tell you a word, the practice of the Pure Land is actually the most difficult, but there are very few people who can really cultivate.

    Individual karma is different, if you haven't found it yet, it will take some time, and when the karma arrives, the Dharma will take the initiative to find you, but you have to be diligent and you can't sit on the ground and wait for the karma to appear. In fact, any Fa can be accomplished, and the key is that your true belief in the Fa can be born, otherwise everything is just on paper. You might as well take a look, listen more, try more, and see which one you are more comfortable with, which proves that you have a lot of life and many calamities with it.

    Don't be different, not in the mind.

    Therefore, I think that there is no distinction in the present moment.

    Although the Buddha has no intention of making distinctions, there is nothing left to think about at the moment, and there is no confusion.

    If you are a caring person, you should be thoughtful.

    Beginner Buddhism is not considered to be practice, at most it is to suppress evil and promote good, and to choose between the worldly Dharma. True cultivation begins after enlightenment, knowing what to cultivate, and then choosing how to practice. You can first study the Dharma scriptures to understand the true meaning of the Dharma. Later, we will discuss how to practice.

    The focus of large, small, explicit, and tantric practice is mainly on self-emptiness and dharma-emptiness, and the starting point is different.

    Stopping evil and cultivating good should be carried out throughout the life of a practitioner.

    The purpose of practicing Buddhism is to liberate oneself from the cycle of birth and death.

    Cultivation is the process of changing your personality, it is the process of changing your faults.

    The specific content of the practice is the bodhisattva's six ten thousand actions.

    Buddhist practice. Classics: Diamond Sutra, Heart Sutra, Huayan Sutra, Nirvana Sutra, Amitayus Sutra, Buddha Amitabha Sutra, Tripitaka Sutra, etc.

    The basic catechetics are: precepts, concentration, and wisdom. Precepts, by means of an outward renunciation of worldly things, and finally an inner renunciation of desires for them. Certainly, the mind is absolutely at rest. Wisdom, fully enlightened of the truth.

    1.The essence of Buddhism "Diamond Sutra" says: "All things have a way, such as a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, should be seen as such."

    The mind should be born without dwelling, and the mind should be born without dwelling. Why? All appearances are false, and if you see things that are not appearances, you will see them as they are.

    That is, all the diverse, finite and perishable phenomenal forms of the world are illusory, completely illusory and false.

    2.The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra says: "When the Bodhisattva of Freedom and Self-Reflection walks deep in Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are all empty and all sufferings are gone, and the relics are not different from the emptiness, and the emptiness is not different from the color, and the color is emptiness, and the emptiness is the color, and the same is true when the mind is acted, and the relics are the same as the emptiness of the dharmas, which are not born and do not perish, are not impure, do not increase or decrease, are therefore colorless in the air, are not thought of, do not know what to do, have no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, color, sound, fragrance, touch, no vision, and even the unconscious world, no ignorance, no ignorance, and no old death, no suffering, no suffering, no wisdom, no gain, so there is nothing." All kinds of phenomena and things in the universe are formed by the combination of various conditions, and all phases are temporary combinations, not permanent and unchanging, so they are called impermanence.

    All the phenomena of our enjoyment, desires, actions, seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, and feeling are all artificial. All the experiences of life and death, good and evil, and bitterness and happiness are only shadow experiences. Everything so experienced is false.

    The old master --- the concept of practicing these two words must be clear: action is action, motivation is the act of mind, speech is the act of the mouth, and pretentiousness is the act of the body, which is called the three karma of body, mouth and mind. If there is a mistake or mistake in the behavior, and then correct it, this is called cultivation. If we think that chanting sutras is practice, worshipping Buddha is practice, and zazen is practice, is this true?

    Can't say it's true, can't say it's false, why?

    If you do these actions, it's fake if the mind doesn't turn around, and if the mind can turn around, it's true. The standards are these principles and methods that the Buddha said in the scriptures, including the realm. If what is said in the scriptures corresponds to the theories, methods, and realms mentioned in the scriptures, then a true practitioner; If it's completely incorresponding, no matter how good-looking it looks on the surface, a fake cultivator, he's not real.
