How does Buddhism view and treat heavenly demons?

Heavenly demons are also sentient beings, and in the sixth heaven, the demon king Bo Xun regarded the beings of the Three Realms as his own people, and did not want his people to be taken by the Buddha and leave the Three Realms, and tried his best to obstruct them, so from a certain point of view, those who did not develop bodhichitta were demons. The Buddha once gave a memory to the demon king, and the demon king will become a Buddha in the future, and the Buddha nature of the demon king is no different from ours.

At that time, the Buddha enlightened under the Bodhi tree and practiced the Three Tribulations, the last future star tribulation. It incarnates into demonic thoughts from the Heavenly Demons, and entangles with the Buddha 129,600 times in the future. One by one defeated by the Buddha.

In the end, the Buddha's three tribulations were completed. That is: the solemn tribulation of the past, the virtuous tribulation of the present, and the future constellation tribulation. Mana to the sky. But the Buddha knows very well that all living beings have demonic thoughts in their hearts, and if they do not get rid of them, the heavenly demons will not die. So the Buddha let go of the heavenly demons.

Therefore, Buddhism's attitude towards the heavenly demons is tolerant, and the Buddha wants to transform the heavenly demons, not eliminate them.

The so-called Heavenly Demon is the Asura Path, one of the six realms of beings! Asura Daoheng suffers from the bitterness of being competitive and ruthless, and cannot be freed!! His good fortune is greater than greater, but he still suffers from sentient beings.

The Buddha treats the heavenly demons with the same precepts, and the three wisdoms do not miss learning! Teach the five precepts and repent diligently!

It has to do with everyone's mindset and understanding. Cultivation is different, enlightenment is different, and understanding is different.

[Heavenly Demon].

Heavenly name) is the abbreviated name of the Son of Heaven and the Devil, one of the four demons. The Demon King of the Sixth Heaven also. Its name is Yunbo Xun, there are countless dependents, and people who often hinder Buddhism.

Xuan Ying Yinyi 23 said: 'Brahma Cloud Moluo, this translation of cloud barrier can be an obstacle to the cultivation of the Tao. Also known as the killer, he often indulges himself and dies, that is, the sixth God.

The name is Bo Xun, this cloud evil love, that is, the name of the demon king born by Shakya Buddha. All the Buddhas are born, and the demons are different. Such as the Buddha of the Buddha of the Buddha of the Buddha of the Buddha of the Buddha of the

from:【Ding Fubao's "Dictionary of Buddhism"】

Buddhists believe that the greatest enemy of cultivation is the demons of the mind. The process of cultivation is almost the process of fighting against the demons in your heart. Although Buddhists also believe that even if we have not acted on it and have evil thoughts in our hearts, it is also a transgression, but the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have also given us a way to repent and reform ourselves.

The Buddha said that the reason why we ordinary people are wrong is because of ignorance and no wisdom, as long as you can practice with your heart is the beginning of progress, don't linger, stick to the past mistakes and can't extricate yourself, as long as you are willing to be good, you are a person who can be saved!

One light. It can remove thousands of years of darkness, and one intelligence can destroy thousands of years of foolishness!!

This has to do with cause and effect, and with the evil in this world.

For example, if A slashes B, and now B wants to take revenge and cut A, do you say that the Buddha can bless A? If it is blessed, how can B appeal for his grievances?

Therefore, sometimes, the Buddha and Bodhisattva are more difficult in the face of cause and effect, so the Buddha and Bodhisattva cross the world, on the one hand, with divine power to bless, on the other hand, is to use the method of educating the world, to teach us, to cultivate the mind and self, toDo not do any evil, but do all good

In our world, the karma of killing is too serious, and the human world is the hell of animals, and there is evil retribution for killing, and evil retribution is the disaster of the world, which is a kind of cause and effect, and if there is evil, there will be punishment, just like if a person violates the law, there will be punishment, and no one will be exempt.

So, despite the great compassion of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, there are still so many calamities and sufferings in the world. It's not that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are not spiritual, it's that we have bad karma.

--- Buddha is a symbol of light, and Demon is a symbol of darkness.

This is different from Buddhism, and is more akin to the Manichaean view of the world as two forces, light and darkness. But that's not the case with Buddhism, which is not dualism, nor monism, and certainly not pluralism.

From the point of view of Buddhism, whether it is light or darkness, or good or evil, heaven and hell, and so on, are all manifestations of karma, and there is a difference between these phenomena, but after the karma is over, these phenomena cease to exist, so in terms of karma, light and darkness are the same causes and conditions. Therefore, Buddhism says that the Dharma is "neither the same nor the same", and it cannot simply be said that they are the same or different. As for the two phenomena of light and darkness or the yin and yang of the universe, it is more appropriate to describe them as dynamic equilibrium.

Demons in the Dharma include a class of beings who do not like the Dharma, but in a broad sense, they refer to all things that interfere with the practitioner's approach to liberation, such as getting sleepy when they want to practice, and this phenomenon is demons, but this demon refers to the problem of one's own physiology. If you ask him to transform into the heavenly demons, all the Buddhas attain enlightenment by subduing the demons.

The Lengyan Sutra is not destroyed by demons, from the perspective of Buddhism, the Dharma is born from the origin, and the fate is extinguished, when the Lengyan Sutra no longer exists with the sentient beings who are destined for him, it will no longer exist. Because there is no meaning to exist.

Desires, attachments, etc., which are not manifested, are obstacles to the path to liberation, so they are demons. And the manifestation of man's Buddha-nature is the tendency towards the path to liberation, and this is the Dharma. And these manifestations are all in the mind, and the actions and words are the manifestations of the mind, so the mind is the Buddha, and the mind is the demon.

But in fact, this sentence is not very strict, it is just a metaphor.

There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south.
