    All the suffering you encounter is caused by karma, birth, old age, sickness and death, nothing else, and the so-called ** criminals, the same. There is no self and no phase. The clouds open and the moon shines, and it is clear and comfortable.

    There is no solution to the suffering of the world, and the only way is to practice the Dharma and seek ultimate liberation.

    It's the same thing that you're being convicted of being convicted of as being stolen by a thief. It is a simple problem that must be faced in life.

    Unavoidable. But just as there are many ways to prevent thieves from stealing wallets. Keeping your wallet in your inner pocket can make it more difficult to steal it, try to keep your wallet on the side facing you, or don't write the word "rich" on your face, or walk around crowded places by yourself, etc.

    I'm sure you can find some way if you don't want people to commit crimes.

    In Buddhism, believers and laymen are two different concepts that represent different Buddhist identities and roles. Talk about accompaniment.

    1.Monastic: A believer is a monk or monk who has chosen to leave secular life and convert to Buddhism, accepting specific precepts and practices.

    Believers usually reside in temples or monasteries and devote themselves to spiritual practice, the study of the Dharma, the taking of vows, and the service of sentient beings. They often shaved their hair as monks or nuns and wore specific monk robes or nun robes.

    2.layperson: A layperson is an ordinary family member who has not become a monk or nun and still lives a secular life.

    A layperson can be a follower of Buddhism and show their belief in Buddhism and their determination to practice the Dharma by taking refuge in the Three Jewels of Buddhism (Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha). Lay people can also participate in Buddhist rituals and activities, learn the Dharma, practice mindfulness and compassion, and integrate the Dharma into their daily lives as much as possible.

    While believers and laypeople have different identities and roles in Buddhist practice, Buddhist teachings emphasize that both believers and laypeople can pursue wisdom and liberation and attain inner peace and compassion through the practice and practice of the Dharma. Each person can choose the practice method and path that suits them according to their own conditions and wishes.

    Buddhists are divided into two categories: monastics and laymen. The monks are monks, commonly known as "monks". The lay people, i.e., all the students of Buddhism, were first transliterated as Kaloyue (Sanskrit:

    g hapati, Ba Blind Lai language: gahapati), later with "layman" as a paraphrase, with Vimalaya layman being the most famous. Laymen are also known as white clothes (as opposed to monks' robes), good believers, etc., and are called upāsaka for men and upāsikā for women.

    Thus, Buddhist believers are a general term that includes both monks and laymen, while layman refers to an honorific title for a lay practitioner. The word layman, in Buddhism is a paraphrase of Sanskrit, in India, layman is not a special word for the Buddha and the gods, whether you believe in Buddhism or not, as long as you are a family person, an elder, a family head, a parent, you can be called a layman.

    Ever since 2013, when one of my relationships ended in failure, I've been reflecting. Looking for an answer that makes sense. Why have they been in love for three years, but at the last moment, they were about to get a marriage certificate, and they finally blew it.

    Some people say it's fate, and some people say it's your disagreement. Of course, for this reason, I also went to the south gate building of our county seat, where there were a pile of immortals and old ladies, all of whom looked like people with some ability. But the answer they gave me felt three words. "And then the egg".

    Now I'm going to talk about this bodhisattva that I believe in.

    Called Jizo King Bodhisattva, according to legend, his dojo is at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui. There is a scripture about him. This sutra is called the Jizo Honwan Sutra, which is divided into thirteen chapters.

    It clarifies how some of the calamities of the world come about and how they can be solved. I still remember that there is a sentence on it that makes people eat vegetarian food and do not touch the meat, because the scripture says that no matter what meat we eat now, it may be the illusion of a relative in our previous life or beyond, [interested friends can read this scripture]. In those days, I was cooking a meal on the construction site, and I was dealing with it in a small restaurant next door, and then I vowed that I would never eat meat again.

    At that time, there were many of us, five or six dishes were ordered every day, and it was inevitable to order meat, a big brother saw that I only ate meat and pants every day, so I sandwiched a chopstick meat to me, looking at the big brother's kindness, I couldn't bear to refuse, when I brought the meat to my mouth, just took a bite, there was a sudden pain in the left mouth, and I immediately thought that this might be the Bodhisattva's punishment for me. Had a toothache for a whole week.

    made a wish and broke the wish, and the pain was like a fight.

    Generally speaking, Buddhism talks about things that transcend this life, and it is a cause and effect thing that is more than three lifetimes.

    As the saying goes, things gather like and people are grouped, and this law of mutual attraction is still the law that transcends this life and is in the eternal life. Therefore, if my friends believe in Buddhism, it may mean that everyone in the previous life was almost the same.

    In Buddhism, there is a distinction between collective karma and individual karma.

    Common karma means: Everyone can see the sun, flowing water...

    Personal karma refers to: everyone has their own destiny, they eat and eat themselves. . .

    The landlord and his friends both see cigarettes in the rented house, which is not necessarily a common karma, but is likely to be a karma, that is, the manifestation of one's own karma. Why?

    Because in Buddhism, it is said that the metaphor of water, we see water like this in humanity, and we are all familiar with water; However, the water is in the heavenly way, and the celestial beings look like glass, and they can skate on it; In the Hungry Ghost Road, the Devil sees that the water is as hot as fire. So what is the form and function of water? It is indefinite and manifests according to different causes.

    It's like everyone has their own dreams, even if the landlord sees a friend in a dream and asks him the next day, he doesn't know, because he doesn't have the same dream with you, the same dream refers to common karma, and different dreams are a karma.

    Amitabha!

    No one says the Dharma, although wisdom cannot understand it.

    Reading and copying scriptures is not the same as "believing in Buddhism"! Because it can't be solved, it can't be done, so it can't be used!

    If you can't follow the teachings, how can you get the support of the good gods of Longtian?

    Miscellaneous cultivation and blind practice cannot be in-depth, even if you read the great scriptures and treatises, you can't be useful, because the mind is not corresponding!

    When I was a child, I did good deeds, and my heart was more sincere and I was more blessed. When you grow up and do good deeds, you will inevitably have something in your heart, and there will be few blessings!

    It is highly recommended that you concentrate on your studies and do not be greedy. Start with a "Dizang Sutra", read and recite it every day, and at the same time, refer to the "Dizang Sutra Lectures" by the old master of the pure space, CD or book can be, this is very important, do not listen to the scriptures, it is absolutely "although wisdom can not be solved", not only can not be solved, but also is a misunderstanding of the true meaning.

    Being able to chant and listen to the sutras can generate righteous thoughts, and together with righteous thoughts, evil thoughts will naturally subside. Evil does not prevail over good, and one will disappear over the other.

    I wish you the benefit of hearing the scriptures, the joy of the Dharma, the elimination of karma, and the early attainment of Bodhi!

    Some of our situations are similar, I started to think that SY was not good (I didn't believe in Buddhism at that time), and then I couldn't quit no matter how I quit. Later, he had a herniated disc in his waist. I checked it on the Internet, only to find out that it had something to do with SY.

    Later, I slowly understood the harm of sy. I quit. Later, I slowly came into contact with the Dharma.

    Everyone's habits are different.,I think,The landlord can't figure it out.。 Like me at the beginning, I felt that SY was not good, but in fact, I didn't understand his harm deeply. It is recommended to take a look at the sea of desire, Shoukang Baojian. Look at it every day, and it will take a long time to generate power.

    Buddhism is education, not superstition. You have to do it to get it, just like what the teacher tells you to do, you say you listen to the teacher, you believe the teacher. As a result, the teacher asked me to do nothing, and you said that you could believe the teacher.

    The teacher said that if you run every day, your body will feel better slowly, and you listen to the teacher every day, and there is no day of running. Finally, you can ask the teacher why the effect of running is not felt at all.

    I have been exposed to Buddhism for a while, and I am also a vegetarian and study every day, but I am afraid that I am still far from the standard of believing in Buddhism. But in the process of gradually deepening, I do feel that a little bit of improvement, a little bit of implementation, will bring great benefits to myself. I feel that the Dharma is real.

    The Huayan Sutra teaches: Buddha! What is the Bodhisattva Mahasattva's Confession?

    This bodhisattva believes in the emptiness of all dharmas, in the absence of all dharmas, in the unwillingness of all dharmas, in the absence of all dharmas, in the absence of any distinction between dharmas, in the immeasurability of all dharmas, in the immeasurability of all dharmas, in the insurmountability of all dharmas, in the insurmountability of all dharmas, in the inability of all dharmas, in the inability of all dharmas. ”

    Huayan Sutra "Breaking the Hell Verse": If people want to know, all Buddhas in the three worlds should contemplate the Dharma realm, and all idealistic creations.

    The Diamond Sutra breaks the phase: All the ways are like dreams and bubbles, such as dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such.

    The Huayan Sutra "Becoming a Buddha": "All the Dharma is not born, all the Dharma is not extinguished, if it can be solved in this way, the Buddhas will always appear in front of it."

    The Treasure Sutra: The Great King. There is no life in all dharmas.

    This is the Dharani Gate. Why. This name is Dharaniman.

    In this all the Dharma. No movement, no shaking. There is no take-or-take.

    It is called Dharaniman. King. All the laws are immortal.

    It's Dharaniman. Why. Immortality is Dharaniman.

    In the middle of all the law, there is no movement or shaking. There is no take, no giveaway, and no giveaway. The Huayan Sutra teaches:

    Buddha! When one comes to enlightenment, one sees in his body that all beings are enlightened, and even all beings enter Nirvana, all of which are the same, the so-called, 'Asexuality.' ’”

    Again, "Buddha! The Bodhisattva Mahasattva should know that there is always a Buddha attained enlightenment in his mind. Why.

    The Buddhas do not leave this mind and become enlightened. If it is its own mind, the mind of all living beings is also the same, and all of them have enlightenment as if they had come to attain, which is vast and pervasive, everywhere, never departing, no rest, and no inconceivable convenience. Buddha!

    The Bodhisattva Mahasattva should be enlightened as such. The twelfth of the Huayan Sutra: "Contemplating all the Dharma."

    It's like a dream, it's like electricity, it's like a sound. Bodhisattva Mahasattva. Such is the viewer.

    to be less convenient. Gain all the merits of the Buddhas. Changle observes that there are no two phases.

    There is a place. At the beginning of the mind, enlightenment is achieved. Knowing the true nature of all dharmas.

    With sufficient wisdom, the body is not enlightened by him. ”

    Because of the fear of cause and effect, and thinking about how much of what you have done is the cause of falling into the three paths, and thus giving rise to the desire to stop being greedy for this life, and knowing that even if you can be born as a human or a celestial being in a future life, you will have to receive the karma of the cause you have planted, and then there is no guarantee in the next life.

    The Buddha told us that these problems can only be solved by detaching from the six realms. At the same time, life is short, so we must seize the time to practice, otherwise at the end of life, because there are few good causes, we will not be able to live humanely, and we will be reincarnated for a long time, and it will be difficult to practice the Dharma.

    As for your current state of mind, just like a person who is always busy, you don't feel that the noise of the machine is very loud, but when you calm down, you will find these sounds unbearable, and as you deepen your practice, these problems will gradually disappear.

    Regarding atheism, the Buddha is also atheism, because theism believes that there is a master in our world, and everything we do is controlled by this master, and he is in control of everything in this world. The Buddha said that everything is the product of the aggregation of causes and conditions, and has no self-nature. That is to say, such a dominant Buddha does not admit it.

    The Buddha is the teacher who teaches us to come out of samsara and no longer suffer, and it is an example for us to learn, and we worship the Buddha to remember what the Buddha taught us. It is different from theistic worship.

    I hope you will read some basic knowledge of Buddhism first, which will help you understand Buddhism correctly.
