In recent months, I have been very disturbed by chanting the Buddha s name, and sometimes I can t re

First of all, you have to stand in a perspective where there are no troubles, which is very important! We can't dwell on our afflictions to deal with them, and you are not its opponent. You have to get rid of the affliction first and then deal with it.

So you see, the Buddha first talked about the 25 circles of the righteous actions, and then he talked about the auxiliary actions of keeping the precepts and reciting the mantras. You need to be clear about this order. Therefore, when encountering things, return to the light first, not immediately chant the Buddha's mantra.

When we encounter troubles, we don't immediately mention the Buddha's name, oh, this is wrong, then you are not its opponent. How are you an opponent of Alayya? Think about it, when you encounter something and want to mention the Buddha name, how long do you recite the Buddha name?

Read it for decades. How long have your troubles been moving in your mind? It's all coming to accompany you.

Are you its opponent? So first of all, when we encounter troubles, we don't mention the Buddha's name, but first contemplate it: Where did you come from?

You can't find it! Get rid of your troubles first. It is not wrong to cultivate "no judgment" first, and then to deal with it.

Only in this way can you have the hope of attainment in the supreme bodhi, because you have found a bodhi cause. In the words of the patriarch, at least you find the way first. The most frightening thing about practicing is that you won't be able to find the way at all.

That is, the highway is in **? I couldn't find an interchange at all. It's terrible, you don't know how to practice!

I'm slack in my practice, I only have an hour or two of a day to work hard, but at least I know the right way. Then you will improve. If you're still walking around the city and can't find the highway, then you're done, you can't find the road at all.

You get on the highway, your car is driving very slowly, but at least you are increasing every day, and you are walking on the Bodhi Road every day. The terrible thing about a person is that you cultivate blindly and blindly, and you don't know if you enter the demon path in the end, so you are not very wronged.

Master of the Pure Realm, "The Essentials of the Lengyan Sutra Cultivation".

The Heart Sutra is enlightened and enlightened, and different situations require different scriptures.

The root of the troubles is ignorance, there is confusion so the troubles, the pursuit or doing the wrong thing, the natural troubles, listening to the Dharma Master's lectures more This problem can be solved, reciting the Buddha and having distracting thoughts, ignore it, and continue to recite the Buddha honestly.

Believe in Jesus, forgive of sins, and eternal life. There is peace and joy in this life. It's really good to trust Jesus.

Why didn't I understand? Praying and being close to the Lord Jesus is so sweet, more beautiful and better than falling in love with my wife. Come to Jesus.

Jesus loves you.

Trust Jesus, just call on His name, Oh Lord Jesus, Oh Lord Jesus, you can try.

Personally, I don't think you're really calming down, you're not blending in. will feel that he will be distracted by himself. To chant the Buddha, the mind must be as calm as water and forget all the world.

Are you a Buddhist? I have already taken refuge, so I say that I recite the Buddha's name every day. In fact, there are many ways to calm your mind. The main thing is that you go, and you don't go out. In fact, I think that sometimes writing calligraphy is more calming.

If you can't read it, it's either because of human inertia, or because you have something on your mind, and you need to be calm when you chant the Buddha's name! If you can't read it, close your eyes and rest a little! And then go on.

For example, your unjust creditors (of course, you believe in Buddhism should know this) will do everything possible to prevent your progress, so that you will be upset, because the more merit you have, the less chance they have of revenge, so when you recite the Buddha, you must not forget to dedicate the merit to them, so that they can gain some merit, so as to reduce the hatred in their hearts, the so-called merit is complete. Amitabha.

In other words, if you recite the Buddha, you can't calm down at all. That's something on your mind. As if it's just to complete the task, then you don't read it.

Karma leads to the change of kowtow and confession to the main, supplemented by recitation, and pay attention to the dedication of merits.

The dedication text is: I wish to dedicate this merit to the ancestors of the past dynasties, the six relatives and dependents, the tribulations, the wrongs, the relatives, the debts, the Lord, the wrongful killing, the manslaughter, the killing of all living beings, people, non-human beings, etc., may you be free from suffering and happiness as soon as possible, free from the six realms of reincarnation, and reborn in the Elysian World. All the bad karma created in the past was born from beginningless greed and hatred, born from body, speech, and mind, and I repent of everything now.

Three times. Great Dedication Text:

May this merit be dedicated to all sentient beings in the Ten Dharma Realms, to all Buddhas in the Ten Directions, to all the Bodhisattvas and Mahasattvas, to the Three Jewels and Dragons, and to the saints of Garan. Three times.

Prove that there is something in your heart and you can't calm down.

If you can't read it, you can recite it silently, and you usually develop a good habit of doing things, walking, and meditating before going to bed. Reciting is in the heart today, reciting the name of the Buddha, reciting the kindness of the Buddha, and reciting the teachings of Buddhism. Amitabha.

Vocal recitation, silent recitation, visualization and non-visualization are all forms of chanting the Buddha. Karma is heavy, conditions and circumstances, and it is impossible to recite or not be able to recite it, and the same is true for contemplating and meditating in the mind.

Hello senior brother, the last school ** one or two, to support the senior brother.

The so-called: If you are not afraid to read it, you are afraid of being late. Others said: Don't be afraid when delusion comes, just use the Buddha name to suppress it.

In fact, each of us born in this world, we are destined to be bound by some trivial things in the world, in fact, everything is too small compared to the vast universe, insignificant, this is the first thing we need to know, this is reasonable. First of all, we must understand the truth, so that no matter whether we encounter something gratifying or sad, we will maintain a normal state of mind, because we understand the truth that the universe is infinite and the world is pure and empty, and we will no longer cling to some meaningless things.

After understanding the truth, we have to work hard, to do it, and it is inevitable that there will be some distracting thoughts in the practice, and even feel that there will be more and more distracting thoughts, more than when I did not study Buddhism, why is this? In fact, this is the embodiment of the purity of the heart, usually we often do not look back at the internal light, and suddenly look back only to find that our heart is like this! Not controlled by your own consciousness, thinking about some meaningless things by yourself, it's terrifying!

It is better to find delusional thoughts early and solve them early than not to find them at all, so don't be afraid, this is to use the previous sentence: don't be afraid to read it, but only be afraid of being late. There are many people who understand this sentence this way:

It's okay when the thought comes, just suppress it with a sentence of Amitabha. Everyone said that, and a few more people did it, and when the thought really came up, a word of Amitabha? Ten thousand Buddha horns are also in vain.

The Dharma should be interpreted backwards, and if you are not afraid to read it, you are afraid that you will be late. Late to sleep, feel what? Awareness, awareness, awareness, awareness, awakening, knowing, knowing, aware of one's own heart, aware of one's own mistakes, and then aware of the delusion born from **, and then let go from **, that is to say, when we get up every day, we must bring up awareness, always maintain mindfulness, such as a person is lustful, when he gets up in the morning, he knows that he may get up when he goes to the street to see a girl, this is his own vice, and he must resolutely stop it, this is enlightenment!

Therefore, after this day, the cultivation of kung fu will be effective, and it will make great progress! It's not that the idea comes and then goes to recite Amitabha, and when it really happens, what is the use of reciting the Buddha vividly, the thoughts are all moved, disgusting together, and the door of hell is open! So we have to bring up our awareness when distracting thoughts don't arise, so that distracting thoughts don't dare to come, and that's true practice.

Kung Fu will be effective, and it will grow greatly.

Amitabha Buddha Respectfully folded.

There is only one way: don't care about delusions, don't go with them, just continue to recite the scriptures. When delusions never arise.

If you want to control it, you have another thought ("How am I fighting delusions?"), "I want to eliminate delusions", etc.). In this way, it is just a matter of going with the waves, never ending.

The old monk Xuyun said: As long as you recognize the delusion, do not cling to him, do not follow him, and do not dispel him, but do not continue, then the delusion will leave itself. The so-called 'delusion is awakening, awakening is detachment'

Zen Buddhism also has a warning: Don't be afraid of getting up, only be afraid of being late.

If you are aware of delusions, you should devote all your energy to chanting the scriptures. Delusion has no roots, and if you don't care about it, it will disappear.

As time goes by, delusions will decrease until they are cut off.

At that time, the light of pure nature will appear.

Don't be impatient, work hard.

Don't force control, just go with the flow and continue to chant the scriptures, and slowly there will be fewer and fewer distracting thoughts.

After reciting a paragraph, try to memorize it as much as possible and focus on what you memorize, which may be better.

Thoughts come and go from it, don't be attached.

We can settle our minds on the Buddha name by chanting the Buddha, whether we are walking or working, so that the recitation of the Buddha name continues. If there are too many delusions, the mind will become complicated and the troubles will increase. If you can recite the Buddha every day and all the time, your mind will become more and more pure, and your psychological burden will become less and less.

Why can't a person be happy? It is because there are too many things in the mind that the mind is oppressed by many things and attachments. We should all have the experience that when our hearts are heavy, we can't be happy if we want to.

On the other hand, if our minds are free of any burdens, we can experience relaxation.

So, we have to learn to look at our own thoughts. What is the function of the rosary in our hands? It's about helping us to look at our own thoughts.

There is a story in Zen Buddhism that when a child went to herd a cow, the cow was a bison at first, so the child had to follow the cow every day, always holding on to the ox's rope, and if he was careless, it would run away without a trace. The boy trained the cow every day, blew the whistle, pulled the rope, and over time the ox became more and more docile, and at last the child could even ride on the back of the ox, and when he went to sleep by himself, the ox would not run away. Our minds are like those of this buffalo.

There is a word called "mind ape mind horse", which means that our mind is restless like an ape, and our mind is running around like a wild horse. We often get lost in the five desires, hear good things, see good things, we cling to them, and we go to greed and hatred. When we are greedy for these things, we have long since thrown our hearts aside, and we have long been lost in the environment we like, just like the cow, which accidentally ran away without a trace.

And the rosary is like a rope tied to an ox, and our minds run faster and wilder than an ox, so we must always look at it.

We need to reflect on what we are thinking at the moment. See what are these thoughts on your mind? We have to look at our thoughts, whether they are good or bad, and we have to be clear in our hearts.

Especially when we are greedy and hateful, don't blindly follow it. A person who has not studied Buddhism is desperately greedy when his greed is present; When hatred appears, it is desperately angry; When you love, you love to die and live; When we hate, we hate each other so much that we can't share the sleepiness, and as a result, these troubles become the masters of our lives. The purpose of reciting the Buddha is to cultivate our mindfulness, so that we can grasp our own minds, our present and future, instead of letting the troubles of the five desires and dusts control our body and mind, so that our minds can always maintain a pure awareness.
