Study Buddhism How do people who believe in Buddhism become a bodhisattva ?

Among the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the Great Pessimistic Avalokiteshvara, the Great Wisdom Manjushri, the Great Wish Jizo King Bodhisattva, and the Great Hang Pugen Bodhisattva are particularly revered by Buddhists. In our daily life, we often call us "Bodhisattva" and "Bodhisattva", so what is a Bodhisattva? How to become a bodhisattva?

The Bodhisattva is"Bodhisattva"Abbreviated as the abbreviation. Paraphrased as: Tao sentient beings, feel sentient beings. It means that those who seek the Tao and seek great enlightenment, and those who seek the Tao with a big heart. Together with the sound and the senses, they are called the three vehicles. It is also one of the Ten Realms.

That is, a practitioner who seeks supreme bodhi with wisdom, transforms sentient beings with compassion, cultivates paramitras, and attains Buddhahood in the future. That is, those who are self-interested and altruistic, and who are brave enough to seek Bodhi.

The use of clay sculptures, wood carvings, etc. to shape the Bodhisattva statue is to visualize the spirit of the Bodhisattva, for people to remember, worship, admire and admire and imitate the way of practice.

Anyone who can practice the bodhisattva path, develop great wisdom, great wisdom, great compassion, and great aspiration, and have such a spirit of compassion and wisdom can be called a bodhisattva.

Usually in the Buddhist scriptures, the bodhisattvas refer to the ranks, and only the twelve levels are saints, that is, from the first place to the ten places, plus equal enlightenment and wonderful enlightenment.

The Bodhisattva of Miaojue is the Buddha, and the Bodhisattva of Waiting for Enlightenment is the great Bodhisattva who is about to become a Buddha.

The most familiar to Chinese is Guanyin Bodhisattva, Dashi Zhi Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva, Jizo Bodhisattva, etc., which are the great bodhisattvas of equal enlightenment.

How to become a bodhisattva?

If a person who wants to practice the bodhisattva's vow, he must first make a great vow, the most important of which are four, called the four vows: "The boundless vows of all sentient beings, the vows of endless troubles, the immeasurable vows of the Dharma, and the supreme vows of the Buddha." ”

It can be seen that it is not easy to become a bodhisattva worthy of the name. Practice the six paramitas (paramitas are the ultimate meanings) – the practice of generosity, vows, patience, diligence, meditation, and prajna.

However, from the initial vow to the Buddhahood, one can be called a bodhisattva, so there is a difference between an ordinary bodhisattva and a virtuous bodhisattva.

No one who is a true practitioner thinks of becoming a bodhisattva. Everyone is going in the direction of perseverance, and when you say that, it means that you haven't really practiced or don't know the way here. Laymen are really watching the excitement.

What practitioners advocate is the mentality of non-action, not inaction, but inaction, that is, they do not need to do things because they are managed or suppressed, but because they want to do it. No one will force you to do the practice itself. Just do it when you want to.

But some people can do it every day, which is a kind of faith, a kind of stability in their minds. Some people have too many distracting thoughts about mundane things, and they can't calm their minds, so their natural cultivation is different.

But this kind of cultivation is just to calm down and make one's life more down-to-earth, no one really expects to use this to be a bodhisattva, to improve one's posthumous status, or even to shade the people around oneself, this is just a peaceful way of cultivation, not to accumulate virtue and blessings.

Whoever asks this kind of question again in the future will not be able to do so. This is the question of how much a practitioner cultivates.

Buddha! The Bodhisattva Mahasattva, who was in the house with his wife, never gave up the bodhi mind for a while, and thought mindfully about the state of the sabha, and lived by himself, so that he could achieve the end; Facilitate one's dependents with kindness, so that they can enter the wisdom of the Bodhisattva, and make them mature and liberated; Although he is at home with great compassion, he obeys his wife with compassion and has no obstacles in the pure path of the Bodhisattva.

Although the Bodhisattva Mahasattva was doing all his work at home, he did not give up all his wisdom for a while. The so-called: if you wear clothes, if you taste, if you take decoctions, take a bath, look around, walk, sit and lie down, body, speech, and mind, if you sleep.

If everything is done, the heart always returns to the way of the sabha, thinking and thinking, and never giving up. To benefit all sentient beings, to settle the immeasurable vows of Bodhi, and to absorb countless vast good roots; Cultivate all goodness diligently, save everything, never leave all slowness and leisure, decide to be interested in all wisdom, and never make any intention to rest in the way; Contemplate all the Buddhas and Bodhi, give up all the impurities forever, practice all the Bodhisattvas and learn them, and have no obstacles to all the wisdom paths; Dwelling in the wisdom of loving music and reciting, gathering all the good roots with immeasurable wisdom, the mind is not interested in all worlds, nor is it stained with what it does, and concentrates on receiving all the Buddhist Dharma. If the bodhisattva is at home, he will take the good roots, let them grow, and return to the supreme bodhi of the Buddhas.

Cultivating bodhisattva behavior, with all sentient beings in mind!

Cultivation is the cultivation of the mind. Enlightenment, enlightenment is wisdom. Mo Daoren went off the rails.

Rely on the Buddha, feel but not confused, rely on the Dharma, be righteous but not evil, rely on the Sangha, be pure and not stained. Taking the precepts as a teacher is a true belief in Buddhism. There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!

Comprehending the Mahayana scriptures, understanding their meanings, understanding their reasoning, and practicing according to them is the only way to truly believe in and learn Buddhism.

Chant the Buddha at a fixed time and number of times every day. For example, chanting the Buddha 10,000 times a day. It is also possible to worship the scriptures.

There is nature in the heart, and it is useless to say too much and do too much.

Hello, there are generally three kinds. The first type of people: formal believers in Buddhism.

These people are not really Buddhas, they believe in Buddhism almost by hearsay, or by the influence of family and friends. Usually such people don't even understand the basic kneeling rituals and details, and even can't pronounce the name of Amitabha Buddha correctly. This kind of person has never heard the Dharma systematically, but only knows that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have vast magical powers and boundless power.

Usually, such people will occasionally burn incense and pray for God and Buddha, just for themselves or their family and friends to avoid disasters, wealth and peace, and everything goes smoothly. Of course, such people are kind-hearted and always grateful. The second type of people:

People who sincerely believe in Buddhism. This kind of person hears a little bit of the Dharma, and usually recites sutras, copies sutras, holds Buddha names, makes almsgiving, releases and other meritorious deeds. At the same time, they will meditate, take the five precepts and make sincere offerings to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

This type of person believes in karma, is very careful about his words and deeds, treats people kindly, and is warm and generous. However, one bad thing is that most of these people are middle-aged and elderly, and some people will blindly believe in worship. The third type of person is a practitioner with a deep relationship with the Buddha.

Such people are naturally compassionate, but most of them have a bad fate. I often feel the impermanence of the world, and often think about the value of life, life and death. This kind of person is inseparable from the Dharma, or he always gets in touch with the Dharma by chance, or he is deeply shaken when he listens to the mantra for the first time.
