Isn t the forbearance advocated by Buddhism cowardly and bullied?

No! The method of forbearance and humiliation is one of the six major practice methods for those who study Buddhism, and it is also Buddhism.

The important way of practice that guides us, from shallow to deep, has five levels, namely, birth forbearance, force forbearance, dependent forbearance, contemplative forbearance, and compassion forbearance

First, forbearance. Whenever the humiliation comes, there is no way to avoid it, it is impossible to resist, so I have to be strong and endure it, this process is relatively passive, and I feel troubled, unbearable, and very painful.

Second, forbearance. For the arrival of humiliation, don't worry about it, use the greatest strength, take a step back, let three points, and press it down. The ancients:

If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. "Reciting the name of the Buddha wholeheartedly, using the power of the Buddha's name, relieving and settling the resentment is like pressing grass with a stone. The best Buddha name is constantly in daily life, because if the Buddha name is broken, it is easy to get angry.

At this time, the blessings of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are needed.

Third, forbearance. When the humiliation appears, return to the light with wisdom and cultivate the concept of karma. Recall why you were humiliated, beaten, scolded, etc., for no reason, and identify the reasons.

If you are insulted for no reason, it may be the result of karma in your previous life, and you will be rewarded with karma in this life. Otherwise, it is not karma.

but the result of the demonic barrier. If you can think about retribution, repay debts, experience the sufferings, and comprehend the true meaning of the test, your heart will naturally accept the unbearable humiliation and willingly not be resentful.

Fourth, contemplation and forbearance. When the humiliation occurs, I use the wisdom of emptiness to take care of the world of knowledge and body, and all the dharmas are originally unattainable, since I am nothing, what other realm is there that I am insulted and humiliated? Since the two are completely empty, the humiliation in the middle is of course unattainable.

In this way, when we look at the void, all evil hatred occurs nowhere.

Fifth, forbearance. Whenever the Bodhisattva comes to humiliation, not only does he not feel hatred, but he has great compassion and sorrows: "This person is really stupid and pitiful, unreasonable, and vain.

Now I am insulted, and I can bear to repay my grievances with virtue. If you treat others arbitrarily and insult them, you will be rewarded and sow the evil cause of being slandered. In more serious cases, people may even be killed and disabled, punished by law, and suffer karma in the future.

Therefore, the Bodhisattva rises up without cause for great compassion, universal compassion, and convenient education, so that he will come to his senses, know that he must change, cut off evil and cultivate good, and become a new person.

No. Forbearance and humiliation can only be done by heroes and heroes, and ordinary forbearance must only be done by the strong.

The real strong person is able to overcome his own heart, and only by defeating his inner greed and hatred can he truly endure, which is completely different from cowardice.

Han Xin was humiliated by his crotch, and everyone knew that it was not cowardice and bullying. Buddhism advocates forbearance and humiliation that is greater than the spirit of Han Shin.

Of course not, forbearance is one of the means to save others and a quick way to eliminate karma for oneself, it is definitely not cowardice and incompetence, and the Buddha will also show the appearance of anger and anger, and the purpose is also to save others, not really angry.

To endure humiliation is not to forbear, but to let go of the physical and mental world. If you are away from everything, you think. What else does the recipient think? If you don't take the appearance, if you don't move, you will subdue its heart. If there is no life, it is the most victorious. Nan no Guanyin Bodhisattva!

I don't think so at all, it's just that it's within the limits of the earth's own bottom line. A limited concession is not just a matter of forbearance.

There are three main types of forbearance in Buddhism. In Buddhism, there is the paramita of forbearance, which is also the way to reach the other side of enlightenment. There are three main types of forbearance, one is to endure grievances and harms, the second is to endure suffering, and the third is to observe the Dharma forbearance.

Patience with resentment and patience means that the bodhisattva should endure the harm caused to the bodhisattva by sentient beings, and not have a sense of resentment towards sentient beings. To endure suffering is to endure the bodhisattva's practice in the world, to endure all kinds of sufferings such as hunger, thirst, cold, and heat in the world. The Dharma-forbearance means that the bodhisattva should observe the reality of the Dharma with perseverance.

Definitely not cowardice.

Because Buddhism knows that the world is too big, just like he knows that these two trains are about to fall off a cliff, and someone on the train is bullying him, of course he will not care or take revenge, because what he wants is to leave the train quickly.

I just don't want someone else to throw shit at you and you're sticking a hand of shit and throwing it back.

Buddhist forbearance is complete indifference.

For example, a child will grab a balloon, and an adult will not care at all.

Everyone upstairs said very well, but since we are people in the world, not everyone can have the Buddha mind of cause and effect in the three lifetimes.

Most people believe in cause and effect, but not in reincarnation. Therefore, the retribution of the present world is always the most direct and most in line with the wishes of the people.

Since we can only see this life, since our vision has been narrow, then try not to leave any regrets and sorrows in this life.

Reincarnation may really exist, and the person who deceived me in this life may really be the creditor of my previous life.

But ah, landlord, if you can't understand the mystery. Well, don't force it. Since we are just sentient beings suffering in reincarnation in the red dust, let's do our part.

Since I have come to this world in this life, since I am not a bodhisattva of compassion, then those who deceive me will be repaid twice. Whoever insults me will reproach him. Whoever wants to kill me will kill all his clans!

Buddhism's forbearance is not the same as the forbearance of people in the world. Forbearance in Buddhism is related to concentration and wisdom, not to make people forbear. When Shakyamuni Buddha was an immortal in his previous life, he was cut off, but he did not have any hatred.

for he is wise. People in the world are sometimes forced by the situation, sometimes they are driven by interests, and sometimes they even temporarily tolerate it for the sake of revenge in the future, which is very disadvantageous.

In addition, what you say about forbearance will make others gain an inch may not be correct, but it is just a conclusion based on ordinary observations. In fact, no one will always bully you, they are just here to collect debts, and if they have bullied enough, they will naturally leave. Ordinary people are accustomed to drawing conclusions through short observations, while Buddhism talks about cause and effect in the three lifetimes, which is a more correct conclusion based on long-term observation.

If you are bullied, if you don't feel angry, all the evil consequences will happen to that person. Truly believing in cause and effect will lead to compassion for that person.

Let me tell you what I understand.

The ultimate idea of Buddhism is to make people enlightened. To be enlightened is to know one's own origin, one's own nature. It is also called self-nature. It is what your nature is.

If we can gradually become enlightened through our practice (reciting Buddha, holding mantras, etc.), we will gradually become enlightened. Our origin is pure and free, and nothing can affect him or interfere with him.

Actually, our practice is to practice having this ability. When Buddhism cultivates to a certain fruition, it will have what is called lifeless forbearance (you can't even be angry, so why do you need to endure?). capacity.

But if we don't have this fruition, we think that there is a limit to our patience. There are big and small.

If you endure the humiliation, then he will continue his mistakes.

As we said, human nature is the same. And the subconscious mind is interconnected.

If he bullied us and we put up with it, and there was no resentment in his eyes, you know, he would be a little scared because you are so abnormal. He was quite impressed at the moment. When he is done with something, his mind will gradually calm down, and then the light of his nature will shine, and the memory that impressed him in the depths of his heart will come to the fore, causing him to suffer in his heart (over and over again, because this is sinful karma, which will not be extinguished without repentance).

He will easily feel his own great disgust, and the treatment of such great goodness will cause extreme imbalance in his heart. Eventually, he will come to his senses. Amitabha.

Personally, I think that the Buddhist theory of forbearance is to initiate a normal mind. Through forbearance, the practitioner slowly reaches a state where the mind has no dwelling, and there is neither the person to endure the humiliation nor the humiliation in the heart. In this case, what humiliation is bearable?

It's important to take care of your heart. That's how I understand it, it's purely a personal opinion. If not, please bear with me.

Amitabha.

Forbearance is not exactly about insults, don't be mistaken, all the pain that can be endured is humiliation. For example, in our world, those who do business, create a business, and even make a fortune, you ask him if he has a good time? He must have said it was bad.

Can you stand it? What's the solution? Anyway, I can endure it like this; Therefore, the sentient beings in the world of sampa can endure and be able to endure it.

..This is an excerpt from Mr. Nan Huaijin's book.

Master Nan Huaijin: What is forbearance.

Benevolence and humiliation are not the same as internal forbearance.

Senior brother's understanding is indeed a little wrong, the concept of forbearance is to endure humiliation, not to endure insults. If you are enduring the insults of others, it proves that it is not forbearance, because you still have a word forbearance, and the cultivation of Buddhism is the purity of the body and mind, and this forbearance is the manifestation of the unbroken root of the mind, so the forbearance of Buddhism is humiliation and forbearance, and there is no forbearance, no humiliation.

In Buddhism, the accurate term is called "forbearance", which belongs to one of the six paramitas, which are: generosity, vows, forbearance, diligence, meditation, and wisdom.

From the perspective of Buddhism, the two basic starting points of Buddhism are the first is the observation of wisdom, and the second is the two cornerstones of cause and effect and samsara. The other five of the entire six paramitas (generosity, vows, patience, diligence, and meditation) need to be seen with wisdom in order not to go astray. Many of the ideas and theories in Buddhism will inevitably be unacceptable, let alone understood, if viewed in isolation from the law of cause and effect and the six realms of reincarnation.

Forbearance in Buddhism is forbearance based on the premise of compassion and wisdom, not patience in the secular sense!

Specifically, we can look at it as follows: from a Buddhist point of view, there are no absolute bad people, absolutely good people. Man's troubles and man's ontology are separate, not one. So, the wicked person is the one who is manipulated by his troubles, and he is pitiful because he doesn't want to be troubled, he wants to be happy, he wants to get rid of his troubles.

But they don't understand the truth of cause and effect, they don't understand that their evil thoughts are because they are being manipulated by their afflictions. Therefore, a compassionate Buddhist should endure the humiliation of this person who has been manipulated by his afflictions, because only in this way can he get rid of the disturbing emotions and disgusting in his heart.

Let's take the analogy and continue to look at it - if someone hits you with a stick, from the point of view of cause and effect, the direct cause: it is the stick that hits you, but do you get angry at the stick? Definitely not.

Then keep thinking, the stick is held by the arm, but will you be angry at his hand? Obviously not, we are weird, we basically fight back at his face, but it is the stick that hits you! The face is not involved at all!

So if you think about it, you will find that the cause that forces the other party to hit you is actually the other party's inner troubles. How to eliminate the troubles in the other party's heart has become the key to the problem, which is the end.

Compassionate Buddhists eliminate the other person's troubles by forbearance and humiliation, and really help the other person.

In response to your question, combined with Buddhism, the analysis is as follows:

Forbearance is the method of cultivation, which is one of the six (paramita) and the ten. Cultivation is to cut off evil and cultivate good. There are three aspects of forbearance, namely, no anger, no revenge, and no evil. degree, degree of people. Thus:

The so-called self-appreciation. What is the purpose of forbearance?

Can you not bear it? What are the consequences of intolerability? If you can't bear it, can you finally solve the problem?

If you ask three questions, ask yourself after examining them: Is it bearable? Is forbearance any good?

Can Shinobu solve the problem? Calm down, and there will be a solution to the problem; -for-tat, retribution, can it come to an end? Therefore, whether it is studying Buddhism or cultivating Buddhism, or ordinary people, distinguishing between right and wrong, there must be a correct choice.

Ordinary people also talk about quality and virtue, and they can't bear to make big plans. What, then, is your plan? That is, the ultimate result of your pursuit, such as becoming a cultivated person.

In a word, you must have your own pursuit, that is, you don't care about external intrusions.

The so-called causality. Know that external intrusions have a cause.

There is an effect and a cause, you know that. Of course, some analyses say that they are all causes of previous lives, but this is not necessarily true. Some things are often the cause and effect of the present life.

So the first thing is to analyze the reason? Of course, you must also know that it is necessary to climb the "edge" to achieve results. First, it is one's own walk, clinging to the hearts of others; The second is that the actions of others cling to one's own heart.

That is, first, they are at fault first; The second is that the mistakes of others have made it impossible to face them squarely, and they have become angry, but they have not been able to deal with them with the "law". Why do we say "law"? This brings us to the question of saving people.

If you don't save others, you have to save yourself. If you save others, you must have a law. When the Buddha endured humiliation of his ancestors, he finally won the king of Kali, and he must have done it with the Dharma.

The so-called look at the results. One cause is one effect, and small fruits become big fruits.

Needless to say, looking at the fruit at the time, it is better to look at the long-term fruit; It is better to look at the fruit of a lifetime than to look at the fruit of a lifetime. If you can prove it, you will know how important it was to endure at that time.

Finally, the emphasis is on the word "law". In the beginning, it was said that there are three kinds of behavior, namely, no anger, no revenge, and no evil. In reality, in fact, this is very easy to do, the so-called people say "can't be provoked, can't hide".

But, not fundamentally. If you have the "law" in your body, you will be righteous and awe-inspiring, and evil will avoid the way; If you don't have the "law", then the evil spirit is blazing and scorching. Therefore, whether we are saving people or saving people, we must have a fundamental law, that is, the beliefs and outlook on life values that we should uphold.

When you have the bottom in your heart, do you still have the idea of "can't bear that breath"? More secular and worldly, some people in the Buddhist family are not in favor of taking the initiative to "add fruits" (i.e., they can be made to touch the worldly law, such as the law, and obtain results), but in fact, I think it is also a method, otherwise the Buddha would not have said that all the Dharma is the Dharma.
