How to recognize the afflictions and adverse causes that arise in the practice of studying Buddhism

If a person wants to learn Buddhism, the teacher is the key. I met Master Zhangjia, Master Zhangjia taught me, "Lengyan Sutra" said, this body and mind to the dust, is called to repay the Buddha's grace. The path we have taken in this life, believing in Buddhism and sincerity, interpreting Buddhist scriptures and teachings, we can understand, we can read, we can understand, and practice according to the teachings.

Shakyamuni Buddha is our role model, we learn from him in this life, then in this life you will surpass karma, your karmic retribution body does not work, in this life the Buddha and Bodhisattva take care of, the Buddha and Bodhisattva are the masters, this is so comfortable!

The encounters and encounters in life are all arranged by the Buddha and Bodhisattva, and there are good and bad times, good and bad fate. Why did the Bodhisattva arrange it this way? Come and temper me, temper me a thousand times, see if you can move your heart, see if you will retreat, you can withstand the test.

This is a Buddha! We chose the Pure Land Method, and the ultimate goal was to wait for Amitabha Buddha to guide me. When to come to the guide, it is Amitabha Buddha who decides.

Before Amitabha Buddha came, I knew that I would still be tested and tortured in this world; When Amitabha nodded his head, he came to pick me up, and I was waiting for him here. This is comfortable, you don't have to worry about anything in yourself, you let go of everything, and you really learn to be obedient to all sentient beings, rejoice in merit, and the ten wishes of Fuxian should be implemented and really done. This scripture, you look at the second product of the preface in the Dezun Puxian, what we are reading now, has not yet been read, Dezun Puxian.

The Ten Vows of the Bodhisattva are the highest guiding principles for the study of the Pure Land Practice, the first one to pay homage to the Buddhas, have we done it? All sentient beings are originally Buddhas, but do we really treat all sentient beings as Buddhas? Not yet.

I didn't do it, and I was tortured again, grinding until one day I grinded your troubles and habits cleanly, and when I saw mosquitoes and ants, I said Amitabha, that is Amitabha, it's okay! Respect it, worship it, make offerings, and repent to it.

Excerpt from the Confession - Notes on the Great Sutra of the Pure Land (Episode 70).

How do you deal with the bad karma in your life?

Karma is also a kind of karmic retribution Actually, there is no need to study this at all, it is better to repent a lot and increase your efforts Kowtow and confess has the best effect Karma is eliminated Everything will be fine...

The so-called disobedience in the study of Buddhism is not comprehensive, whether we study Buddhism or not, there are unrelated causes in our life and work, etc. Buddhists should understand that everything is cause and effect, and cause and effect follow like a shadow, and cause and effect are not ambiguous!

Understand cause and effect, know the teachings of Buddhism, do not do all evil, practice all good, do not ignorant cause and effect, and be compassionate to everything.

Regulate the body and mind, and gradually get better. Amitabha!

Buddhism is a kind of persuasion of people to be good, the scriptures do not seek more, just one is good, seek refinement, chanting the scriptures is to seek tranquility, to seek tranquility in order to reflect on their own mistakes, and correct their mistakes, can be liberated.

That's because you don't have your heart, and your mind is quiet and you see what is going on.

Don't overthink it, letting go is the best option.

This is mainly the reason why you can't calm down yet. And the inability to meditate is also due to several reasons:

1. The heart is not pious, and the inner understanding of the Buddha is too superficial, so that it is impossible to devote oneself to the worship of the Buddha.

2. The desire is too strong, and most of your desires are reflected in many aspects such as "possession" and "control". It is very painful to feel the slightest deviation from the ideal.

3. The understanding of letting go is not thorough. After all, there are many things that people can't let go of when they live in society, but in fact, the Buddha's original intention to let go is still to let people not let go for the sake of letting go. If you can understand this, you can naturally put it down.

Donor, put down the sutras and become a Buddha immediately.

No, it should be a bad mentality.

It is normal for there to be obstacles in the study of Buddhism. Some people study Buddhism very smoothly and everything goes well; There are also people who have great obstacles and troubles in learning Buddhism. Originally, there was nothing, but after studying Buddhism, there were more troubles, why didn't the Bodhisattva care about them at all?

Actually, there are causes and conditions. Everybody has everybody's causes. Some people have a lot of karma, so they have a lot of karma, but they haven't manifested it for a while, because after studying Buddhism, they want to perfect their personality and get rid of their troubles and birth and death, and their karma will appear.

It's like a debt we owe, which was supposed to be fine, but one day you want to leave this place, the creditor will immediately come after you to pay it. The same is true of studying Buddhism, when we want to be good, many creditors from the past come up to find us. Therefore, repentance is very important because it can remove our karma and eliminate the negative conditions that we encounter on the path of learning Buddhism.

When we encounter obstacles on the road of life, it is not easy to overcome them, and this is related to the improvement of our ideological realm. Although we know a lot of truths after studying Buddhism, it is all the realm of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, not our own realm. Therefore, it is normal to have a certain distance between understanding and practice.

There needs to be a process for changing our concepts, and there needs to be a process for improving our self-cultivation. This process is the practice of precepts, concentration, and wisdom, but freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the success of cultivation is not a matter of one or two days.
