Why don t the great monks use supernatural powers to purify sentient beings?

My dear friend, what do you mean by purifying sentient beings?

If it is to cure sentient beings, it cannot be called purifying sentient beings, but can only be called helping the world and saving people.

To save people is to live from the suffering environment of the world to the other side of happiness (the holy land of the Buddha country).

Saving people, it is the person who wants to be saved to have that idea of being dedicated, and he can continue to get rid of his attachment to the Buddha, and the "Buddha in the heart" handed down from history may be this meaning.

The Dharma can change a person's body, but that mind can only be changed by yourself.

On the other hand, saving people is such a sacred thing, he is not a performance on the stage, the most important thing is a firm belief, only by believing in the teacher and believing in the law, can he reach the holy land of the Buddha country, so the supernatural power cannot be used for performance.

More importantly, the supernatural powers of Buddhism are extraordinary, he cannot interfere with the reasoning of ordinary people at will, everything in the world has a cause and effect, and diseases also have antecedents, so he cannot use supernatural powers to treat an ordinary person who does not practice at will.

Dear friends, the above are some of my superficial opinions, I hope they will be helpful to you.

In addition, there is a correct view bar in the post bar, which has a lot of pure articles, and it is recommended that you read it. Best wishes!

It's not that you don't use supernatural powers, but in fact, you use them, but only for people with specific roots, and the great monks don't have arrogance, and it's impossible to show off supernatural powers everywhere

Divine powers can only be manifested in the presence of people under certain conditions

Therefore, it is easy for us to mistakenly think that great monks do not use supernatural powers to save people In the Jizo Sutra, Shakyamuni said to Jizo Bodhisattva: "With the convenience of great supernatural powers, do not let people fall into all evil pleasures."

The Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng used his supernatural powers to transform Daoming Zen Master

Yes, I used to think about it too, but then a teacher told me: the first thing to understand is what is supernatural power? Divine power requires people to have the quality and personality of God, and people are often in a state of consciousness and enlightenment, and he may be a person with a very high level and realm, not as described in martial arts.

Shakyamuni Buddha, Jizo Bodhisattva, Zen patriarchs, Rujiao and other saints, domestic and foreign great virtues, none of them are using divine power to cross sentient beings, but they all talk about a central theme: people can not be without virtue, the writing of the word "virtue": double + ten people + four people = sixteen people with one heart, but today's people have forgotten these.

To cross people with virtue, people become Buddhas. I'm just superficial, please advise!

Where do you go from and where do you go???

Sentient beings are Buddhas and forget Buddhas, and they have their own supernatural powers but do not use them.

Sincerity, delusional heart, the original Buddha and sentient beings have one heart, who crosses whom.

I don't know how to use it, but I may need supernatural assistance in secret. With the three bodies and four wisdoms, five eyes and six links, three clear and five clear, etc., the analysis and judgment of people and things will make fewer mistakes, and only then can we truly achieve "following fate".

Why don't eminent monks and great virtues use supernatural powers to transform sentient beings?

The great virtues of the eminent monks mainly rely on preaching and propaganda, so that the sentient beings can be consciously and voluntarily tempered, and if they use supernatural powers, they are suspected of being forced.

Divine power refers to magical and incredible power.

I watched "Shakya" that Setouchi listened to, and this supernatural power means that I have learned a lot of knowledge and understood a lot of truths, so I can do things that ordinary people can't do and can't imagine. This is the power of the gods.

Hello! The Buddha forbade bhikshus to use supernatural powers. Because supernatural powers will only lead people away from the true meaning of the Dharma, thinking that supernatural powers are the Dharma. In fact, the path to liberation is the true Dharma. This is the insight below.

The Dharma is not honored by the manifestation of a bodhisattva. The Dharma is not honored because of supernatural powers. Dharma is noble because Dharma is the truth of the world.

It's not easy to type, adopt it!
