How long do ghosts and gods Arhats live? Is there any such thing in the scriptures?

Ghosts, gods, and arhats are all concepts in Buddhism, and in Buddhism, ghosts, gods, and arhats are all people who can be reincarnated after death, and their lifespan and time of reincarnation are not clearly stated in Buddhism.

In Buddhism, it is believed that a person's lifespan is determined by one's karma and karma, not by the time of one's practice or reincarnation after death. Therefore, the lifespan of ghosts, gods, and arhats and the time of reincarnation are not clearly stated in Buddhism.

It should be noted that although Buddhism believes that a person's lifespan is determined by one's karma and karma, it does not mean that one's lifespan is fixed or immutable. There are also many methods and teachings in Buddhism about spiritual practice and changing one's destiny that can help people change their destiny and lifespan through practice and changing one's behavior.

The so-called "emptiness" refers to the "emptiness" of nature, and "existence" is "dependent arising". The teacher, Shakyamuni Buddha, said the Dharma in his life from two aspects: according to the "emptiness" of "dependent origination"; According to the "dependent origination", it is said that "emptiness".

Nothing more than these two. But these two can evolve into tens of thousands, countless species. Lao Tzu of our country said in his Tao Te Ching that "the Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, and three to all things".

This Tao has a bit of what we mean by "emptiness" here.

The landlord described "Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Buddhas, gods, ghosts, etc., these are its appearances." The reason why this aspect is manifested is because their karma is different, and their actions are different. But the Buddha said that all sentient beings, although this appearance is different, but all sentient beings have a nāṇa essence, and what is the nāṇa essence?

It's the nature of enlightenment! Once this enlightened nature is unconscious, lost, and drawn by external objects and realms, and has distinctions, love and hatred, people and me, so good, then it starts to create karma, and there are six reincarnations of karma, and there are six reincarnations, and there are six reincarnations, such as heaven, man, asura, animal, hungry ghost, hell, and that's it. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are saints who have come out of the Three Realms, they are not subject to the Six Realms, they are enlightened, and they are no longer subject to the "segmented birth and death" in the Three Realms.

The third question is "why do idols exist, and are they made by later generations", what do you mean by this idol? The original meaning of an idol is: a puppet, or an image made of clay puppets.

For the Buddhists, the Buddha statue is just a symbol, which is the manifestation of the Buddha and the Bodhisattva, which is very solemn and special, and it is for people to see, and after some people see it, they shape their image according to that appearance, which is what we see now in the monastery. However, the Dharmakaya of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, mind you, is the Dharmakaya, but it is formless and formless, pervading the immeasurable worlds. This Dharmakaya is the root body, is it only possessed by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas?

No. Everyone has it, so why not show up? We ordinary people are obscured by our own troubles.

Just like the landlord said the ghost, his troubles will cover him, that is, this body, our people's troubles will cover us, and this human body will appear, no way, I don't know yet, that's it, I can't leave, stay humane, want to leave? Learn the Dharma and teach you how to renounce.

I think I can only say these words to those who are destined, and the general explanation of your question is like this, if you still want to know more, we can communicate in private. Amitabha!

What is emptiness? 0？The creation and destruction of all things are the result of a combination of causes and conditions.

For example, the growth of large trees, seeds, soil, sunlight, rain and dew are indispensable. It's not that you have what you want, and you don't have anything if you don't want to, so it's not free and autonomous. Life and death are impermanent, which one is the real body that exists forever?

However, the nature of sentient beings can manifest all laws, and they do not arise and die with the birth and death of all laws. How to find it? Let go, don't follow the outside world, think and consciousness restlessly, and don't even have the idea of finding the true heart. The return to the light is true.

Then there are the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Sangha, they are the enlightened beings who have returned to the beginning, and they are the teachers of all beings. Why do we want to create the image of Buddha and Bodhisattva? In fact, Buddhism does not exist in the first place, but sentient beings cannot be fully enlightened, and they need to use the image of Buddha and Bodhisattva to express the Dharma.

Just like the Tiananmen Tower also hangs a *** statue, one expresses respect, and the other is a model and example.

The Tao is natural, and all things are the power of the "Tao", so why is it not nature?

The concept of emptiness is speaking of this world space. It's not Dharma emptiness.

The Tao naturally talks about the path of cultivation, and it talks about the same nature.

There is a famous saying: "The law of the world." Everything is the law.

Dharmaben Nature". Do you think their existence is accidental? Our science can only go so far now.

I don't know anything about other creatures. Just say it doesn't exist? Electricity would not exist without its invention.

Television didn't exist before it was invented? In fact, people have been waiting for you for a long time. It's because we're late.

That's nature.

Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Buddhas, gods, and ghosts are people who have been waiting for you for a long time. It's because we didn't have the chance to meet it. Can it be said that you have to go to the scriptures before you go to the test? They all said we were late.

There are only latecomers in this world. There is no such thing as non-existent.

Maybe they are what the Buddha said. Knowing life and death, he would have been liberated a long time ago. And because of the misunderstanding of knowledge, we are still studying and inventing here.

That's it.

The essence of the universe is a monistic world, there is no difference, that is, absolute equality.

But we have to start with duality, understand from duality, and describe oneness from duality.

In a monistic world, there is no distinction, and there are no numbers or words, so we must start from duality to understand oneness.

Buddhism is education, and its content is to describe the universal nature of the monism described above.

From this set of education, it is also said above that it is necessary to describe the unity from the duality, so in the description, the whole universe is generally summarized into three aspects, six words: reason, nature, and cause and effect.

This all-encompassing education, if you really understand it, know that it includes two sides of the same thing, and both sides are described.

Let's go back to these three aspects, six words: reason, nature, cause and effect.

All beings are equal, there is no difference, which means that the essence, our essential Buddha-nature, is true as nature, that is, in reason, and in nature, it is equal.

What is unequal is different, and it is a matter and a phase. It is also a fact that everyone has different good causes, such as being tall, short, fat and thin, rich and poor, and having all kinds of different sentient beings.

Reason, nature, and cause and effect all exist at the same time, and we must clearly understand it.

Every aspect of the universe is clear and clear, that is, if you understand people, there will be no contradictions.

Originally, it was just an ordinary person, and no wise and enlightened person wanted to make himself an idol to worship, but later generations would look for idols when they could not find an object of imitation and awe.

Buddhism talks about impermanence, and Taoism talks about nature. Everything is the result of a change of time.

Most of the Buddhism originated in India, and later spread to China and added some ,,, Chinese-style Buddhism.

Taoism is filled with characters and folklore from ancient Chinese mythology, ancient texts, and nature worship.

None of the authenticity can be proven, but there is evidence to be found.

The Dharma is empty, don't you also exist? If you exist, why can't ghosts and gods exist?

Emptiness means that the essence is void, not that it does not exist.

Your essence is empty, and so is the essence of all ghosts and gods.

A flower and a leaf have their natural laws, and like people, there are birth, old age, sickness and death.

It's the same with ghosts, ghosts have ghost ways.

God has Shinto. Taoism is natural.

Not all phenomena are recorded in the canon.

The result of the ghost. It will be known at the time of judgment.

Be! The Taoist scriptures are all included in the "Taoist Collection"! There are records of Taoist gods and immortals in the scriptures!

The scriptures of Buddhism are included in the Tripitaka Sutra, which is the same as Taoism, and all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are recorded in it!

Are you there? Were you in ** 100 years ago? Are you in ** again after 100 years? This is the mystery of emptiness and nature!

And also! That big brother Jesus on the 2nd floor! How do you know that idols are evil? Or are you born out of your heart? Don't tell me Jesus told you!

The dispute between ghosts and gods is the dispute between good and evil, which determines the survival of the universe.

Ghost, he won't bully people at will, only he has a grudge with you in the past, you owe him, and it will affect him when he comes to collect debts.

Immortals are philanthropic and help humans everywhere, so they have a good positive influence.

Maybe what you're thinking about is that ghosts and gods influence a person's speech and behavior by flapping the wings of a butterfly.

There is influence, and they live all around us.

The degree to which the ghosts and spirits of Buddhism influence the believers and others is different.

In the faithful, the idea of ghosts and gods teaches people to be good.

In the eyes of believers, ghosts and spirits are real, part of this pluralistic world, an organic part of hell-earth-heaven. Ghosts are the form of people after death, and whether they can enter reincarnation depends on the karmic retribution of previous lives, and become gods and Buddhas is another kind of creation. Therefore, for the sake of karmic retribution, the believers should accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and warn themselves not to do evil, otherwise they may not be able to be reborn.

For ordinary people, many superstitious people will also have such thoughts, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages in their hearts, and naturally turning to goodness; For atheists, the concept of ghosts and gods is naturally nonsense, but the concept of good, good and evil will still have a certain impact, which is to make people good in general, and others are different.

Buddhism does not deny the existence of ghosts and gods, but it does not admit that they can create heaven and earth and dominate people. They are just beings in the six realms, and because their afflictions are not broken, they are drawn by their own karma, and those who create negative karma fall into the path of hungry ghosts and become "ghosts"; Those who do good karma ascend to heaven and become "gods." It flows endlessly in the six realms.

People can exert influence on others. However, it is subject to the laws of the world, and beyond the limits of influence, there will be punishments.

Ghosts can exert influence on others, but they are bound by the laws of the ghost king, and if they exceed the limit of influence, there will be punishments.

Jizo Bodhisattva Honvo Sutra:

Ghost King White Buddha said: May there be no worries. I am all form, thinking of supporting all sentient beings in Yanfu, and when I am born and die, I will be happy. ”

It can be seen that the ghost king is "thinking about supporting Yanfu sentient beings".

Of course, the ghosts must also obey the laws of the ghost king.

Some ghosts may cause trouble in the world, but after he goes back, he will face severe punishment from the ghost king.

The first question: there is an impact.

The second problem: the main thing is the psychological influence.

Does Buddhism believe that reincarnation is real?

The answer to this question is yes. Buddhism believes that all sentient beings cannot be exempt from the limitations of reincarnation, except for saints who have been liberated from birth and death (e.g., Hinayana arhats) or who have passed their own lives and deaths (e.g., Mahayana bodhisattvas).

The so-called reincarnation is actually the flow of life and death that rises and falls, and it does not really loop like a wheel. There are six major categories of reincarnation, Buddhism is called the six paths, that is, from top to bottom: the way of heaven, humanity, the path of Shura (god), the way of life, the path of ghosts, and the path of hell, which are all due to the five precepts and ten virtues and the ten evils and five reverses (the opposite of the ten goodness is the ten evils, killing the father, killing the mother, killing the Arhats, destroying the harmony of the Sangha, and the body and blood of the Buddha, which are called the five reverses).

If you do good karma, you will be born in the upper three realms, and if you do bad karma, you will be born in the lower three realms. In each category, the end of one period of birth and death, and the beginning of another, is the birth and death of birth, and in this way, in the six realms, birth and death, death and death, it is called samsaric birth and death.

However, Buddhism especially believes that although there are six realms of life and death for sentient beings, humanity is the main way for the creation of good and evil karmic causes of sentient beings. The next three realms only have the ability to feel the retribution of suffering, and have no ability to distinguish between good and evil; Only humanity can not only suffer and suffer, but also distinguish between good and evil. Buddhism teaches that the creation of karma lies in the feelings of the mind, and if there is no time to discern or is unable to discern, even if the karma is created, it cannot be the main cause of karma. Therefore, Buddhism attaches great importance to the responsibility of good and evil actions in life.

It is precisely because the main cause of the work force is in the human world that all sentient beings who have risen and fallen still have the opportunity to fall and rise, not once they rise forever, and they will always fall once they fall.

Buddhists who are true believers do not want to be born as the ultimate goal, and it is very clear that they are still in the mortal realm of reincarnation and birth.

It is also very clear that all true Buddhists are willing to be liberated from birth and death, because only by being free from the cycle of birth and death can we attain eternal happiness.

All true Buddhists are willing to be reborn in the Pure Land of Buddhahood.

Amitabha!

If you owe a debt, you have to pay it back..Such a universe is more reasonable?!.Murder and arson' don't have to be repaid after death? ...What kind of rotten universe is this?! So there are six realms of reincarnation'(You can pay off your karmic debts).

My colleague can often see ghosts with his eyes open, especially behind the temple or in the hospital (he asked the people around him, and they all said they didn't see it) (my colleague is not a person who likes to exaggerate), so when he went to the temple, he didn't go to the back of the temple, and he said: After seeing it, I was not in a good mood

Think again
