How is the state of Buddha cultivation assessed?

It is divided into four major fruit positions: Yuanjue, Arhat, Bodhisattva, and Buddha.

Color is emptiness, and emptiness is color).

I don't care about everything in the world, I only care about "Amitabha Buddha, the Elysian World is just and solemn", and I often take this to heart, which is called chanting Buddha.

Chanting the Buddha is supreme and profound meditation.

"Nam no Amitabha" is a great god mantra, a great mantra, a supreme mantra, and an unequal mantra.

Master Lotus Chi said, "Holding the name of Amitabha Buddha is better than holding the mantra of rebirth, and it is also better than holding the remaining mantra, and it is also better than holding all the remaining merits." ”

To recite this sentence of Amitabha Buddha is to recite the whole Dharma Realm, and the Dharma Realm as a whole is Amitabha Buddha, all Buddhas, all sentient beings, and oneself.

To recite this sentence of Amitabha Buddha is to recite all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and to recite one's true nature. What kind of sutras, treatises, and mantras are all in this Amitabha Buddha.

To recite the Buddha is to cultivate immeasurable and boundless good karma. In the name of Amitabha Buddha, there is immeasurable merit and immeasurable wisdom.

Reciting Amitabha Buddha is the only way to become a Buddha. Thinking of the Buddha in the heart, the Buddha was before, "remember the Buddha, recite the Buddha, come now, and you will definitely see the Buddha", this is the principle of reciting the Buddha to become a Buddha.

Reciting the Buddha is the first method in all the methods, and all the Buddhas come to save sentient beings, stop their troubles, attain Bodhi, and become Buddhas, all of them recite Amitabha Buddha, and Shakyamuni Buddha is the one who recites Buddha to become a Buddha. To chant a Buddha is to be a Buddha. Reciting the Buddha in the mouth and thinking about the Buddha in the heart is to be a Buddha.

What do you think of the Buddha? Think about the Buddha's goodness, the Buddha's solemnity, the Buddha's merits, the Buddha's practice in the cause and the earth, and the achievement in the fruition. I always think that your mind is to be a Buddha.

Cultivation for the realm: Entry - Earth - Heaven - (Tai Tian Position) "The Difference Between Chaos Yuan Force and Nothing" One Heaven - Two Heaven —..Eleventh Heavy Heaven - (Extreme Dao Realm) "Whether there is a condensation of the mixed yuan dao fruit that belongs to one's own avenue", the mixed yuan twelve heavens are the mixed yuan saints - thirteen heavens.

The Seventeenth Heaven - the Eighteenth Heaven (Derived Heavenly Dao) - the Nineteenth Heaven began to master the rules of heaven and earth;

But his body is still under the rules of the Heavenly Dao - the Twenty Heavens can construct his own Heavenly Dao rules and use this to help himself get rid of the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao rules - the twenty-one Heavens, if he can store his own Heavenly Dao rules in the Hongmeng Chaos at this time, it will be the realm of the Supreme Dao!

The later cultivation system (passed on by Hongjun Preaching): The entry level is divided into four realms: refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, practicing gods and returning to the void, and refining the void and merging the way.

As for the Taiyi Golden Immortal-Taiyi Dao Fruit, deal with the Taitian position who has not yet comprehended the chaotic Yuan Force;

Da Luo Jin Immortal - Da Luo Dao Fruit, which is equivalent to comprehending the Yuan Power of Chao Tong and cultivating to Luo Tianzun God or Da Luo True God between the First Heaven and the Nine Heavens, that is, the Da Luo Ninefold Realm;

The third level of quasi-saint is equivalent to the Ten Heavens, the Eleventh Heavens, and the Extreme Dao Realm after that;

The Mixed Yuan Sage is the realm of the Twelve Heavens to the Seventeenth Heavens;

After that, the division of the Mixed Yuan Heavenly Dao Realm is about the same!

In addition, there are also nine Heavenly Dao Saints, who are the highest rank under the Heavenly Dao, and the Nine Dao Hongmeng Purple Qi under the Heavenly Dao, cultivate to reach the Nine Heavens, and have great merit and luck, you can try to attain the position of Heavenly Dao Saints!

The Heavenly Dao Saints have unlimited power in the desolate world, relying on the great power of heaven and earth, they can compete with the top saints, and they can also get the infinite favor of heaven and earth, with immeasurable merit and monstrous luck, but once they are out of the scope of the Heavenly Dao;

It will instantly return to its original form, and the Mixed Yuan Saint can also achieve the Heavenly Dao Saint by virtue of his great merits, but although the Heavenly Dao Saint is beneficial, it has to follow the general trend of the Heavenly Dao, and there are many restrictions, and once the desolate heaven and earth are damaged, the Heavenly Dao Saint will also be greatly injured!;

From "Hong Huang Ming Yuan Record".

The highest saying in Buddhism is to always forgive sentient beings.

In the practice of Buddhism, there is also a famous saying about the realm of cultivation, which is the "six Buddhas" put forward by the founder of Tiantai Sect in the Sui Dynasty, the wise master: 1Reason is Buddha, 2

The name is the Buddha, 3Contemplation is the Buddha, 4Resemblance is the Buddha of the Sleepy Void, 5

The Confession is the Buddha, 6In the end, that is, the Buddha.

The highest realm of the Buddha is defeated and trembling, generally speaking, it is to reach the realm of the true heart after seeing the nature of the mind. In Buddhism, the specific noun of Miao Ming sincerity is truthfulness, that is, the circle becomes reality, that is, the Dharma realm, and the Dharma nature. In terms of wisdom, it is Bodhi, and in terms of eliminating afflictions, it is called Nirvana, both of which are in this state.

This realm is from relative to absolute.

Things in the world are relative, and when we reach this realm of self-proof, it is not something that can be expressed by words, this is an inconceivable realm, it is an absolute realm, and we cannot speculate on it with our minds, just like people know that they are warm or cold when they drink water, and you don't know whether it is hot or cold if you don't drink that water, it's the same truth.

Does the Pure Land on Earth refer to the Pure Land of Maitreya? When will it be realized? In the Buddhist scriptures, when Maitreya is born in the future, everyone will be able to practice the five precepts and ten virtues, know the cause and effect, and it will be the pure land on earth.

The Buddhism of life advocated by Master Taixu and the Pure Land on Earth advocated by Zhao Pulao are such a Pure Land.

Fill the field with green seedlings

Look down and see the sky in the water

The six pure roots are the way

Regression turns out to be forward

The poem teaches us that from near we can see far away, and that regression can also be seen as progress. Only when we bow our heads with humility can we truly understand ourselves and the world.

A Japanese Zen master once said, "How tall is the universe?" The universe is only five feet high.

If we want to survive in the universe, we have to bow our heads. "When the ears of ripe rice are also low, we want to know the truth, and we must also be humble and bow our heads.

Ordinary people always think that moving forward in life is the scenery of progress, but this poem tells us that regression is also forward, and people who take retreat as advance are even more forward, and they are even more beautiful.

The ancients said, "Advance by retreating." And he said, "

Nothing is better than regression. "How comfortable it is to take a step back before fame and wealth; How leisurely it is to endure three points before people are right and wrong. This kind of forbearance in humility is the real progress, and this kind of always taking care of the feet and moving forward in a down-to-earth manner is the most true and noble.

Life can't just go straight forward, sometimes, if you can take a step back and think, the so-called "turning back is the shore", there can often be an optimistic scene of the sea and the sky.
