What are the merits of keeping the five precepts among lay monks?

Keeping the five precepts has at least the following merits and benefits:

A life of peace and happiness.

In the next life, you will not fall into the three evil realms.

Respectable. Careers are easy to succeed.

If sentient beings can keep the five precepts, they will not fall into the three evil realms after death and will be able to preserve their human lives. You can continue to practice in future lives. The five precepts are the lowest and most basic bottom line of life.

There is no fault in keeping the precepts. If there is no fault, there will be no karma. Practitioners don't want merit. Watch your mouth. Don't preach. It's easy to miss merit. If you keep the precepts and recite the Buddha, you will lose two cents.

The precepts are the supreme Bodhi book, and only those who study Buddhism can strictly adhere to the five precepts can be regarded as true practitioners.

Whether at home or as a monk, you must take vows to study the Dharma, and only with this foundation can you attain the Buddha's path and be free from all troubles and sufferings.

Keep the five precepts, be a smooth person in this life, and not lose your body in the next life.

This is just a kind of rules and standards for being a person and doing things, and it does not raise the question of merit.

You have paid kindness and good deeds to call merit!!

You're just self-disciplined, it's just good for you.

At least I'm starting to develop in a good direction, and this is called stopping evil and cultivating good, and it's also the beginning of cultivation.

Venerable Mahinder replied: If you break one of the precepts, you are actually not keeping the five precepts very well.

There are two ways to receive the five precepts: the whole and the individual precepts.

If the five precepts are taken as a whole, then if one of them is broken, the others will also become invalid. If one article is accepted, only one of them will be invalid, and the other four will still be valid.

In the family's five precepts, you must deliberately violate them to break the vows. For example, when killing a living being intentionally kills another life, it is considered to be a broken vow, and unintentional and unintentional is not considered a crime. Speaking falsely and deliberately deceiving is considered a crime, and a mistake in the tongue because speaking quickly is not considered a crime.

There is no such thing as "convenient lies", even if the lie is beneficial to the other party, as long as there is deception, it is also a crime. What should I do if I break my vows? It should be re-ordained.

After re-taking it, the vows were restored.

We suggest that lay people should take the three refuges and the five precepts.

As a daily lesson, if you don't break the vows today, you can consolidate by taking three refuge and five precepts, and you can use the standards of the five precepts to check your words and deeds. If it is broken and re-absorbed, it can be recovered, as if the clothes are torn and repaired, and the body is injured and the medicine is applied.

Some great masters ask for a little relaxation when they talk about the precepts of laymen. If a layman breaks the layman's vows and has a strong sense of repentance, he will also be allowed to take it again.

If you find that your current chances of keeping your vows are not complete, you can also give up your vows. For example, if you feel that it is difficult to keep the vow of stealing, you will say in front of a person, "I can't keep this vow now, I want to give it up."

If you say it, he understands. In this way, the vow is given away, and this is the way to give up the vow. Generally speaking, the fault of giving up the vows is less than breaking the vows.

If you find that your current opportunity to keep the vows is not complete, you can also give up the vows. For example, if you feel that it is difficult to keep the vow of stealing, you will say in front of a person, "I can't keep this vow now, I want to give it up."

If you say it, he understands. In this way, the vow is given away, and this is the way to give up the vow. Generally speaking, the fault of giving up the vows is lighter than breaking the vows, hope.

Don't kill, don't steal, don't lie, don't drink,—— this is the foundation of your practice, and if you can't do it, it's like the foundation of the edifice hasn't been laid, and you won't make the slightest progress in your practice.

It is advisable to repent earnestly and then go to the monastery to be re-ordination.

Repent and then re-ordination.

Just take a look at the "Ten Good Karma Sutras" explained by Master Jingkong.

The five precepts of Buddhism, including those who abstain from alcohol.

In a narrow sense, alcohol refers to items that can make people unconscious.

There is also alcohol in a broad sense, which refers to something that can attract people's attention and cannot extricate themselves. For example, drugs, Internet addiction, and so on.

If the purpose of your Buddhist practice is just to be a Buddhist, then you should be fine if you drink a little bit of alcohol.

If the purpose of your practice is to achieve liberation, then it is very easy to drink too much alcohol and make mistakes. It is especially affected by meditation and meditation, so you should not drink alcohol.

However, alcohol-containing products, such as tofu and ten drops of water, can be eaten in moderation without the purpose of drinking.

Cultivators who aim to achieve liberation should not be greedy for alcohol under the pretext of cooking or taking medicinal wine, as that will deceive others and deceive themselves, and they will not be liberated in the end.

Practicing at home, since you keep the five precepts, it is better not to drink.
