How should we deal with the obstacles we encounter in our practice?

There is no reason, even if you don't practice, the unsatisfactory on the road of life still exists. Therefore, it is necessary to do it cognitively, not physically.

Who defines 'unsatisfactory'? In fact, it is defined by your discriminating mind, because with discriminating mind there is unequal mind, so there is the so-called wishful thinking and unsatisfactory mind.

In fact, what you think is unsatisfactory is really unsatisfactory? If you look at it from another angle, you may find that all these unsatisfactory things have helped me in my cultivation, helped me to enlighten my wisdom, and learned to turn my knowledge into wisdom.

Actually, there are a lot of things that you think it's a good thing and you think it's a bad thing. Because often good things can turn into bad things in life, and bad things can also turn into good things. Then, the so-called wishful and unsatisfactory are actually defined by our own cognition, but our cognition is often one-sided, separate, distorted, unequal, and unintelligent.

If your loved ones need your help, but you are not able to do so, then you won't work hard to improve yourself? The second one is also very simple, there is no motivation to practice, which means that I haven't realized that time waits for no one, especially young people, always feel that death is far away, not in a hurry, in fact, there are no young and old people on the Huangquan Road, and no one can guarantee whether they can live in the next second, so once there is a sense of urgency, the motivation to practice is not a problem, and there is a dead word hanging in the room of Master Yinguang, always reminding himself that death will come at any time, which is the truth.

Buddhism believes that there are three major obstacles, namely, the obstacle of afflictions, the obstacle of knowledge, and the obstacle of ignorance. Break through the obstacle of afflictions with emptiness, break through the obstacle of knowledge with false view, and break through the obstacle of ignorance with Madhyamaka. If you study Buddhism, it's best to be preceptive and wise, and if you can't do it, just recite Amitabha.

There are two reasons for the obstacles to the study and practice of Buddhism: one is the manifestation of bad karma in previous lives, and the other is the interference of various heavenly demons and external paths.

The most effective way to remove the obstacles to the ripening of negative karma in previous lives is to recite the Guru Vajrasattva mantra or 100 Characters in a way that has the full four opposing powers.

The quickest and most effective way to get rid of the obstacles caused by the interference of the outer realms of the heavenly demons is to recite Guru Padmasambhava's seven vajra prayers or Guru Padmasambhava's mantra.

Generally speaking, reciting the seven prayers of Guru Rinpoche in the morning and reciting the 100-character mantra or Vajrasattva mantra in the evening is the best way to start and finish the practice.

No magic barriers, ** come to the catastrophe!! No catastrophe, ** became an immortal?!! Overcome it with heart, only to the most painful can you achieve nirvana!!

Demonic obstacles must be broken by wisdom, and wisdom must be born by precepts.

If you don't have wisdom, you can overcome it, if you can't overcome it, you can go around, and if you can't get around, you can endure it.

You can't be a Buddha without demons.

When a cultivator sends out the heart of truly jumping out of the Three Realms for sentient beings, the Demon Palace vibrates—another demon realizes that he wants to take immeasurable sentient beings out of their grasp! Therefore, the demonic son and demon grandson of the demon, and our greatest greed for this practitioner's omission is the fatal wound – that is, the cause of their various ways of retaining the practitioner's continued reincarnation in the world.

So the Diamond Sutra: Break the four phases.

Mahayana Buddhism: Practice for hundreds of eons with the phase, and practice without the phase for an instant.

All idealism, with static braking - my heart is not moving, pure and at ease.

In addition, keep the vows - it is better to keep the vows and die than to break the vows to live.

Keeping the precepts is like the guardrails on both sides of the path we climb high cliffs, once the precepts are broken, we will fall off the cliffs and break our bones!

Generate the bodhichitta of renunciation for sentient beings, true cultivation, and everything will be released for you
