Give an example of what is meant by vows in Buddhism?

There is an incomparably great Jizo Bodhisattva, he made a vow, all sentient beings have done their best to prove Bodhi, and hell is not empty and vows not to become a Buddha, so he is called a great vow among several great bodhisattvas, and there are also great pessimistic Guanyin, great wisdom Manjushri, and great Xing Puxian.

If there is a good man or a good woman who makes a wish to be reborn in the Western Elysium, that is, a person who practices the Pure Land Dharma vows to recite the Buddha to the Western Elysium, and he will never regret this wish.

Amitabha Buddha was born in the Land of Bliss.

It's ambition. What I'm going to do. Give yourself a goal, and make sure you achieve it.

To make a vow is to set the goal of practicing Buddhism. Freedom from suffering, happiness, purification of sentient beings, and self-awareness of him.

It's aspiring! To be an altruistic and self-interested person, the most important thing is to be worthy of your conscience.

To make a wish is to make a wish in front of the Three Jewels and make a certain merit to repay the Buddha's kindness. To pray is to ask the Three Jewels to help you fulfill a wish. One vows to repay, and the other just asks someone to do something, that's the difference.

Making a wish, in Buddhism, is when you decide in front of the Buddha or in your heart to do good deeds, do good karma, and bear good results. And praying is to ask the Buddha to bless you with the results you want.

Prayer can be for yourself or for others.

It's okay to make a wish for yourself and for others, but you have to restore it.

I personally understand:

If you want to separate meanings, making a vow is making a vow for others, for all beings.

To pray is to pray for one's own blessings.

To make a wish is to give; TO ASK IS TO TAKE ...

If you make a vow, then do what you say. You don't count this, because the vow is a reciprocal transaction, that is, if you say: Guanyin Bodhisattva bless me with 20 catties by the end of this year, if it is done, I will come to burn incense and set off firecrackers for you.

That's what you want, and that's just your hope. If it's really **20, you have to make a vow, if it doesn't come true, it means that your vow is not sincere enough.

You must know that the wish you make will not be able to come true, and if you offer great love and have the blessing of a kind Bodhisattva, you will be blessed, and as long as you have a sincere heart, you will naturally have good fortune!

The meaning of making a wish is to learn Buddhism or ** or not.

You have to be a vegetarian and make a wish to go to Guanyin Bodhisattva again.

Burning incense or giving alms.

Vow: Initiating a vow. Wish refers to wishes, wishes, appeals, etc. Making a wish means that you make a wish in front of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas with a sincere heart.

As for restoration, when you make a vow, if you make a promise in front of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, you will come to worship the Bodhisattva in person in a year or how long, and express your gratitude for the blessings of the Buddha and Bodhisattva. Naturally, you need to restore it yourself. Of course, the best thing to do is to do what you want to do.

Don't fish for three days and dry your nets for two days.

For example, if you vow to be a vegetarian for a year, exercise well, etc., you can't have any more doubts. I can no longer wonder if I really want to be a vegetarian for a year.

Hello, the vow you asked about is probably like this:

As for the vows you mentioned, it is a kind of vow made by the people. To make a vow in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva is to solemnly promise in front of the Bodhisattva to achieve the best successful result through your own hard work. In order to fulfill this wish, I promised to eat vegetarian for a year as a condition for my wish to be fulfilled.

Since you have made a vow to be a vegetarian in front of the Bodhisattva for a year, of course you have already made a promise, and you have asked the Bodhisattva to prove it for you.

Well, since this condition has been promised, it is a promise. Whether or not they are met, promises cannot be broken casually. If a person has no faith, he will not stand, let alone make a wish to the Bodhisattva.

Therefore, the fulfillment of your wishes is also because of your wishes and efforts, and you can't give up your promises just because you have achieved them.

So, of course, you have to really be a vegetarian for a year. You can't even deceive yourself, let alone deceive the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas?

As for whether or not to repay the vow, in fact, there is no need. Unless there is a promise to repay the vow at the time of vow, it is unnecessary.

In Buddhist practice, making a vow is to set the goal of studying BuddhismIn practice, the first thing that should be possessed is a wish, which is the direction and goal of the practice.

Jizo Bodhisattva's enlightenment stems from his great vow, which he made for his mother and wished that "hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha." A long time ago, he made such a great vow, so he has been doing it all the time, making it his greatest task to save all suffering beings and to liberate them. This is the spirit that everyone who studies Buddhism should learn.

The Guru Shakyamuni Buddha has 500 vows; Amitabha Buddha's forty-eight vows; Jizo Bodhisattva has endless vows and so on.

If you have a wish, you will have a goal, and you can work towards it. Therefore, such a vow only needs to be practiced, and there is no need to repay the vow at all. Wishing is just a folk way of making a vow, and it has nothing to do with Buddhism.

Break the superstition and correctly understand the Buddhist culture, I am Hongchen Fayuan, welcome to pay attention. 】

There is one in the Buddhist gateGreat wish Jizo BodhisattvaHis mother fell into hell, and he tried to find a way to cross his mother. But he couldn't help his mother at that time, he didn't have the ability, so he made a big wishHell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha, forever saving people in hell.

He hadn't done it when he made his vow, and he didn't have the ability to do it, but he said that if he had merit in doing it, he would dedicate it to his mother and surpass her, and then he succeeded in it.

Great wish Jizo Bodhisattva

A vow is a merit that has not yet been done, a great merit that has not yet been able to be fully achieved. Then, with this vow, there is a merit of making a wish in advance. For example, a person who has not yet started work but has signed a contract, has already made a contract to do this thing for a month, and advances a little salary, which can be understood in this way.

If we make this kind of wish, we can get some merit in advance, so if we make some good wishes, we can get the merit of making a vow in advance. But if you don't want to send it lightly, you must do it and do it.

It is beyond the pursuit of human nature that mortals have for the sake of a selfish interest and selfish desire in the world, and something that transcends it. This is the onset of man's inferiority. So when a person has an inferior nature, that person cannot understand himself and cannot sober himself up.

To truly detach oneself from this environment and to be able to reach this state, one must first understand the Dharma, must understand the wisdom of the Buddha, and must give up the desires of the world. Wait until you give up your desires before you get more. Therefore, desire and motivation are two completely different concepts, desire comes from the inferior root nature of human nature, and the state comes from the initial mind of nature and your original mind, which is nature, that is, Buddha nature.

So, there are all kinds of good and bad cells in the human body, just as the human mind produces bad thinking and good thinking. People's disgust, greed, stupidity, and hatred have become a clear contrast with people's conscience, compassion, kindness, and the heart of helping others. Therefore, when a person has a good conscience and learns Buddhism, all they come out of it is compassion and all kinds of good hearts to help others, some good hearts. When a person goes with the flow, he doesn't study Buddhism, he just uses the bad greed, hatred, and stupidity in him.

So it's the same mind, because the heart is different, it will produce different results. Therefore, following the crowd is to let one's kind heart become less and less as one's desire swells, and one's good kindness becomes less and less, and people will slowly sink.

Personally, I understand that a great wish can only be counted if two conditions are met. The first is that the vow is strong enough and the will is firm enough, for example, a person shouts every day to donate all his assets, but he meets a beggar on the road and does not even give 1 yuan, this is the lack of force and cannot be implemented, so it is only a superficial heart wish, not a "big wish". The second is that the origin is strong enough, such as the desire to benefit the world and all beings equally, and not just to benefit oneself or a small range of desires.

If you can meet the above two conditions at the same time, it should be regarded as a great wish.

Personally, I feel that as a small citizen in the market, ordinary people, should be determined now, do not have to pursue the vow from the beginning, and should do it step by step.

To truly achieve the boundless vows of sentient beings, the endless vows of troubles, the immeasurable vows to learn the Dharma, and the supreme vows of the Buddha and the Tao to come true, is to make a great vow.

In Buddhism, the mind should be set aside from the ego, that is, to achieve a state of selflessness, and all that is in mind is sentient beings.

If it is stated that insight is the end, then all the means to the end are the means ......~

Make a great wish to save all sentient beings in the Dharma Realm.

Everyone is familiar with vows, and among the four great bodhisattvas of Buddhism, the "Jizo Bodhisattva" is the symbol of the great vow. One sentence".Hell is not empty, and you will not become a BuddhaIt is also known to the world. Among them, the well-known ones include the 48 vows of Amitabha Buddha and the 12 vows of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

So why do you want to study Buddhism? What are the benefits of making a vow for studying Buddhism and living a life?

Vow: A Buddhist term for vows, which means to make a vow. He also made great wishes, made wishes, made wishes, and made supreme wishes.

It always refers to the heart of seeking Buddha fruit and Bodhi. This is also why the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have great vows recorded in the scriptures. There are two general categories of vows; 1. Make a wish for Bodhi; Second, the desire to be affectionate.

Why do you want to make a vow when you study Buddhism: I wish to be the mother of success in all things, and I wish to be able to achieve things. Therefore, if people do not have a wish, they will not be willing to practice when they encounter difficulties.

And the first seal of our mind-centered dharma is the bodhicitta seal, the great wish to become a Buddha. Buddhahood must rely on sentient beings, and Buddha is a two-legged deity of merit and wisdom.

What is the purpose of the vow: it is to let us learn to change our minds in the midst of all the things in life, because everything has tendencies and will leave us with troubles in life. If we know how to change our minds, we can become a method of spiritual practice in our lives and sublimate it, so we call it pure behavior, leaving no future troubles.

In every moment, when our mindfulness can firmly support our minds, the illusory life becomes a very fun and meaningful cultivation of wisdom and the cultivation of the methods of future life. That is, your heart is filled with understanding of life and feelings about life.

What do you need to make a wish for? There are many, many of them, whether it is a job or a career, in fact, they all need to have a "wish". In the morning and evening classes of Buddhism, there are "vows", which shows the importance of vows for practice.

To put it simply, it is to teach us that we should cherish this extremely short life process, work hard in time, follow the direction of the bodhisattva path, and complete the goal of "becoming a Buddha" as soon as possible.

A vow is a wish that people make on their birthdays, and it can make them full of wisdom like a Buddha, but first you have to believe what the Buddha said, so that the wish can be fulfilled, of course, from a scientific point of view.

To make a vow actually means. To be full of imagination and anticipation for your future, the effect of this is actually to make yourself more confident and motivated to face problems.

Making a wish is a bit like what we call making a wish, which is to set a direction for what you want to achieve and achieve it by your own efforts; Wishing will produce a force that pulls the direction of our life, with a wish, we will not passively face life, and life will have a sense of direction.

It refers to the hope for one's own future, and then you can make a wish, and there is a goal to strive for, so that you can purify your mind and achieve the effect of cultivation.

To put it simply, it is to make a wish, in the Buddhist theory, it is called making a wish, you can get the kingdom of the Buddha, and you can get the wisdom like the Buddha.

To put it simply, it is the so-called wish, through which you can give yourself enough confidence, be able to stimulate your enthusiasm, and will not back down when you encounter difficulties.

Make a vow for initiation.

It is also known as making a great wish, making a wish, making a wish, and making a supreme wish, which is the basis for learning Buddhism. Dharma is the belief in wisdom. If we can know how to make a wish and aspire to everything in our lives, and change our minds in a harmonious way, we will be able to provide more ways to live and practice, and make our lives full of wisdom.

To study the Dharma, everyone should make a vow, let what they do have a set goal, talk about it, and everything they do revolves around the goal, just like a ship with a compass in the vast sea, so that it will not lose its way and can sail accurately to the other side.

Making a vow is the foundation of Buddhahood. When the Buddha and Bodhisattva of the Rock Serving Rock practiced in the cause, there was no one who did not make a great vow. We often know such as the 40 great vows of Amitabha Buddha, the 12 great vows of Yakushi Nyorai, the 10 vows of Fuxian Bodhisattva, the 12 sad vows of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, and the Jizo Bodhisattva, who is known as the king of great wishes.

It is precisely because the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have made such a magnificent wish that they have been able to achieve many holy and solemn Pure Lands and reach the breadth of sentient beings since the eons of eons.

How to make a vow

1. Don't make empty wishes

Buddhism talks about "believing and doing". The wish we make is a kind of commitment, and we must practice it with action. If you don't act on your vows, ask yourself if you're deceiving yourself. This kind of unrealistic behavior is empty wish.

2. Make a wish with your heart

We have to make a vow that corresponds to the compassion of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, to correspond to our own hearts, and to take practical actions, and then we make a sincere vow in front of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, asking for the Three Jewels as proof.

3. Make wise wishes

For example, some people make a wish to release the animals, but when they release the animals, they do not take into account the actual situation and blindly release the animals. Not only will there be no merit in doing so, but it will bring you the sin of killing. Therefore, learning Buddhism and making vows must also have wisdom and skill, so as to increase happiness and wisdom.
