    If there is a certain realm, then follow the "Three Refuges, Five Precepts and Ten Virtues"; If you don't know much, then do more good deeds, do more good deeds, "have good intentions, say good things, do good deeds, and become good people."

    Whether you study Buddhism or not, you must first do a good job, and then talk about being a good person, not being a good person first, it is difficult to be a good person, you can't be a good person without wisdom, and it is good if ordinary people can do a good job. Therefore, to learn Buddhism, you must first learn to be a human being.

    Learning Buddhism is not only about reciting the name of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, but also about learning the Dharma knowledge from monks who are truly proficient in the Dharma or in the lay system, so that you can change your bad habits such as lust and irritability.

    Take the lam-rim of Nyingmapa, for example, there are the hearing and hearing teachings, the outer four preliminaries (the rarity of human lives, the impermanence of death, the transgression of samsara, and the absence of cause and effect), the victory of liberation, and the knowledge of relying on goodness. There are non-communal preliminaries (refuge, bodhichitta, praying Vajrasattva, Gusari and Guru Yoga) and the shortcuts to rebirth of the path, and then there are the Dzogchen Straightforward Techniques and Enlightenment. Therefore, just reciting the name of a Buddha or a Bodhisattva is not a true study of Buddhism.

    This is because your obsession is too heavy, and it can still be eliminated by practicing Lai, so it is recommended that you practice the Five Cessation Mind, which is a very good way to deal with it.

    If a student of Buddhism is angry, he needs to meditate and recite sutras to calm his mind, and he is lustful because you have not taken the vows. You say that you hold the five precepts, but you are not as good as the Fa. To practice and keep the precepts, you must follow the law as you do, and then, keep the precepts as you do, and study the precepts like the law.

    People who study Buddhism are lustful and angry, so they need to meditate and practice their concentration, and as soon as they have emotions, they immediately control them and keep their emotions in a calm state, so that after a long time, they will gradually improve.

    Lust and anger are the cause of karma and sin, everything in this world is caused by karma, and everyone is helpless in the face of karma, so we have to think about getting rid of the suffering of this world and yearning for the happiness of the world of bliss. When such a mind arises and relies on the power of Amitabha's vow to save Buddha, and reciting Nam no Amitabha, if you can dissolve the causes of evil, you will change these bad things.

    It is said in the heart that reciting the Amitabha Buddha in the south can destroy eight billion eons of life and death and serious sins, so reciting the Buddha can make the life of this world worry-free.

    Lust and anger, this is a habit, and the habit is cultivated by sentient beings through a lot of suffering, and you want to break it all at once, it's impossible. But on the other hand, after learning Buddhism, will these bad habits become weaker and weaker, if so, it is right, on the contrary, it means that the name of the Buddha and Bodhisattva is not strong, and the troubles cannot be suppressed, and the effort to turn the troubles is not enough. When lustful anger and other disturbing emotions arise, you should immediately realize that if you focus on the name of the Buddha and Bodhisattva, if you practice for a long time, the effort to overcome the afflictions will become stronger and stronger, until you completely subdue them.

    If you have the ability to subdue your troubles in all realms, especially the realm before death, you can keep your mind upside down, and if you wish to live in the Pure Land of Mida, you will be reborn.

    Learning Buddhism is all about working the mind, because the Buddha is the mind, and cultivating the Dharma is cultivating the mind. The original meaning of "Buddha" was "enlightened mind".

    When we study Buddhism, we must cultivate from a deluded mind to an enlightened mind, and if we are not confused about life and the environment, then we are Buddhas.

    Therefore, as long as you have a good heart and do more good deeds, you are cultivating your mind. These are the compassionate spirits of studying Buddhism.

    If you really learn it down-to-earth, then there are many ways to learn Buddhism, and Buddhism is usually divided into five schools: Zen, teaching, Vinaya, Esoteric, and pure.

    The methods of each sect are different, and it depends on each person's roots and hobbies, and you can choose one to specialize.

    The Pure Land Sect is the most stable, the easiest, and the most suitable for us ordinary people to learn, which is to recite the Buddha to survive the Western Bliss. That's enough for us to learn for a lifetime. The Pure Land sect is a method of purifying one's mind, and the focus of practice is to restore one's own pure mind.

    Therefore, the focus of the Pure Land should be on the theme of "purifying our minds."

    The practice of chanting Buddha goes hand in hand at the same time.

    This sentence comes from the "Great Dedication Text", which means that when we study the Dharma, we should skillfully and conveniently do the affairs in the dust labor as Buddha things, and using the Dharma to do worldly things is Buddha things. From the inside, you can cultivate the six degrees.

    Therefore, we don't have to be a monk to practice Buddhism, nor do we have to abandon the world to live in the mountains and forests, we can "skillfully work the dust for Buddhism" in the current red dust, and any human environment and material environment are a good place for us to practice Buddhism and do Buddhist things. This shows that the Dharma is lively and harmonious, and that the Dharma is everywhere and "everywhere is a dojo".

    Know the "self-heart" and find the "self-heart". There are Buddhas everywhere, and you can learn Buddhas everywhere.

    Well, let me elaborate on my point of view, everything is based on reality:

    First of all, Siddhartha Gautama's renunciation of ordination is a denial of the liberation of pleasure. After six years of asceticism, he could not find happiness, so he entered the Ganges River to bathe and receive chyle offerings from the shepherdess, which can be said to be a denial of the liberation of asceticism. It was precisely because these two contradictory ways of practice could not be liberated that he was prompted to engage in dialectical thinking under the Bodhi tree, thus harmonizing all his thoughts and reaching the realm of a Buddha.

    Why did the Buddha, who became Shakyamuni, continue to practice asceticism after denying it? This was because the prevailing thought in India at that time was pro-asceticism, and he had to use a way that was acceptable to everyone in order for his ideas to be accepted by the masses and to lead sentient beings to truly enter into the right practice. For example, when Siddhartha Gautama entered the Ganges River to bathe, Qiao Chenru and the other five people thought that he had a heart for him and left him, so this represents the concept of most monks.

    If Shakyamuni Buddha hadn't been able to guide sentient beings with the austerities that everyone accepted, then he wouldn't have become a great Buddha, would he?

    The landlord's question is good.

    In fact, the Buddha didn't know that asceticism was wrong at first! Instead, I went to experience, I practiced, and after so many years of cultivation, the development was not right, and this method was not perfect! That's why I gave up asceticism! Take a bath and receive offerings! Eventually, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.

    Suffering is the best teacher, don't feel sorry for her. She's had enough of suffering and will naturally turn back.

    People only reflect when there is no way out. As long as there is a little hope, it is impossible for ordinary people to reflect. Sometimes when we see others suffering, we project our own suffering onto others, but in fact, others may not be as bitter as we think.

    Cultivation is actually a path of death, life towards death.

    Ordinary people are not sensitive and do not feel a lot of suffering. The more you practice, the more sensitive you become, and the more you feel suffering.

    Cultivation is actually suffering, there is no escape, there is nowhere to escape. If you have experienced all the suffering, you will be able to awaken and become enlightened.

    Compassion and wisdom come from suffering.

    Suffering is happiness. Running away from pain is even more painful.

    Suffering is the source of compassion and wisdom, and ordinary people who avoid pain and pursue happiness certainly do not have compassion and wisdom.

    Many people think that life should be happy and that there should be pain without trembling. Almost everyone is running away from pain in pursuit of happiness and doesn't feel anything wrong with this lifestyle.

    But no one can escape pain, no one can pursue happiness. On the contrary, the more you escape from pain, the more painful you become, and the more you pursue happiness, the farther away you are from happiness.

    Take the current world environment and the blessing of mankind. Only by reciting the Buddha's method of reincarnation in the Pure Land can be achieved without suffering in the world, even if it can ensure that it is a lower quality and rebirth, and rebirth in the border land of the Pure Land, it can be regarded as a complete life, and from then on, it will never say goodbye to the suffering of the world and even the three paths.

    If you want to learn from the Hinayana Arhat and Zen Buddhism, then you will basically inevitably fall again in future lives, because the root of the good fortune karma cannot be attained, and it is a pure waste of time, otherwise the Buddha will not use the Amitabha Sutra to stop being 100 years old and be the last food for human beings. As long as you are not liberated in this life, although studying Buddhism can accumulate good fortune and enjoy some good fortune in the next life, after enjoying the blessings, it is easy to create karma and lose good fortune again and fall, and it will be difficult to escape from the suffering of the world or even the three paths after all.

    As an arhat, one can transcend the six realms of reincarnation, so that he will not suffer in the human world.

    Buddhists are dying in the Pure Land of the West, and they can no longer be reincarnated.

    Those who study Buddhism prove the seven faith bodhisattvas of Yuanjiao, and they are not in the six realms of reincarnation.

    Before the above three levels of cultivation are reached, one will be reincarnated in the six realms, and even if one can ascend to heaven and enjoy happiness, after the blessings are exhausted, they will be reincarnated in the human world.

    One thought of heaven and one thought of hell, heaven and hell are born of the mind.

    There is bitterness in the heart, and there is bitterness in the end.

    There is joy in the heart, and it is all joy in the end.

    If you feel suffering in your heart in this latitude space in the human world, you will also have suffering in other latitude spaces.

    This is because there is a body and an environment in any latitude space, which is the so-called root-body realm, and all these root-body realms are changed by our minds. Therefore, if there is disharmony between one's mind and one's body and environment in this latitude space of the human world, which leads to suffering in one's heart, then in another latitude space, there will also be disharmony between one's mind and the body and environment there, and there will also be suffering in one's heart.

    So, mindset is very important!!

    AmitabhaI don't want to suffer from humanity and even the six realms, except for being reborn in the Western Elysium.

    It is the result of spiritual practice. At the very least, it is necessary to attain the Sudra fruit.

    The old master --- prove that Sudra Huanguo will never experience the three evil paths. If there is no attainment of the Sudha, the Three Evil Realms cannot be avoided.

    The old mage --- bitterness came from? Suffering comes from the fan, the mini is cranky, if you have mistakes in your thinking, your words and deeds will be wrong. Because words and deeds are ideological guidance, if your thoughts are wrong, your words and deeds will be wrong, and you will suffer if you do something wrong.

    Mahayana is wisdom, if you have wisdom, if your thinking is pure, if your words and deeds are reasonable and legitimate, and if you don't do anything wrong, then you will be blessed.

    It should be that you have a problem studying Buddhism, because if you are really studying Buddhism as you are doing the Dharma, it should be more and more good karma, and friends are more and more like to be close to you. The following points need to be noted.

    1.Unless a friend asks you about the Dharma, don't talk to another friend about the Dharma.

    2.The Dharma is in the world, and it is not separated from the Dharma in the world. To learn Buddhism, you must understand the sophistication of people, and the customs that should be observed must be observed, such as friends who have marriage and education, and take the initiative to pay after eating. Communicate with friends more, and take the initiative to help friends when they are in difficulty.

    3.Don't care about people when you study Buddhism, and especially don't criticize others with the Dharma. And don't talk about other people's faults, unless it's a particularly good friend with whom you have a close relationship.

    4.Learn to speak and not speak too straight. Think about the person and the feelings of others when you speak.

    5.It's not about having many friends, it's about really having the same temperament as you. For general relations, it is enough to fulfill the general etiquette. Don't expect everyone to be good friends with you.
