How do practitioners deal with merit in practice?

Everything is vain. Therefore, practitioners do not need to be attached to merit in practice, just continue to practice, and do not need to deal with it much. Because we want to practice Buddhism, how far have we always wanted to practice?

Until you become a Buddha. So whatever happens, we shouldn't live here. You should never take this as a standard for your practice, you shouldn't live here, you shouldn't take it to heart, you just need to continue your practice.

There are two kinds of merits, one is what is seen in concentration, and the other is obtained by one's own cultivation.

The former should not be greedy, and the latter should work hard to cultivate.

Repair the sixty-two phases of karma.

Shansheng Words: World-honored one, as the Buddha said, when will the bodhisattva's physical strength be achieved? ＂

Buddha said: A good man, when he first cultivates the thirty-two phases. ＂

When a good man, when the Bodhisattva cultivates such a karma, he gets the name of the Bodhisattva, and he has two determinations: one is Bodhi determination, and the other is fixed. Restore two determinations: one knows fate. The two give birth to the Fa-rectification cause. ＂

A good man, a bodhisattva who cultivates the 32 phases of karma, and even attains the three bodhisattvas of the three bodhisattvas, and in the middle of it, he is tired of hearing a lot. The Bodhisattva Mahasattva's cultivation of one by one, surrounded by a hundred merits, cultivating the mind fifty, and having the heart fifty, is called a hundred kinds of merit. ＂

A good man, all the merits of the world, are not as good as a dime of merit; If all the pore merits come to us, it is not as good as one good merit; Eighty kinds of good merits are aggregated, and they are not as good as one phase of merit; All merits are not as good as white merits; The merits of the white phase are not restored and there is no top phase. ＂

A good man, a bodhisattva, always works for the great benefit of all sentient beings in immeasurable eons, and does all good karma diligently, so that he can achieve immeasurable merits. It is the thirty-two phases, that is, the retribution of great compassion. Although the Wheel Saint King has a face, he is not clear and has sufficient achievements.

It is the karma of the phase, that is, the karma of the body, mouth and mind. When cultivation is a karma, it is not in the sky, and the north is single, but in the three directions, the body of a man, not the body of a woman. The Bodhisattva Mahasattva is a karma, called the Three Monks, and the first to attain the three bodhisattvas. ＂

All thoughts are good, but they are all vain. All appearances are false, and when you see things that are not in appearance, you will see them as they are!

The key to cultivation is to cultivate the mind!!

All phases are phases!

Merits and virtues! That's the saying of the worldly!

Merit is to see that nature is merit, and equality is virtue. The goal of Buddhist practice is to see nature, that is, to see the true Buddha nature, and if you can experience the true Buddha nature, this is the work. It is true that there are immeasurable merits in Buddha-nature, and practicing these merits is the so-called virtue.

The bodhisattvas of the first place realized the true Buddha nature and practiced the merits of the true Buddha nature, so the bodhisattvas began to practice merit from the first place.

AmitabhaOnly merit can liberate oneself from birth and death, transcend the six realms of reincarnation, and become a Buddha.

Fortune can only be enjoyed within the six realms, and there is always one day to enjoy it.

Old Master--- many, many people have even misunderstood that good fortune is regarded as merit, and good fortune and merit are two different things, you must know this. Master Huineng, the sixth ancestor, said in the "Altar Sutra" that this matter "cannot be saved". What is this matter?

Merit saves.

Merit is not the same as merit, is it not the same? Merit is a merit, and cultivating merit is merit. "Merit" is not the appearance, "the outside is not the appearance, the inside is not moving", that is the merit.

Decisions have improved.

The Buddha said in the Sutra of Cause and Effect in the Three Worlds: "If a person preaches the Sutra of Cause and Effect, the wisdom of the past and future lives will increase." If one believes in the Sutra of Cause and Effect, one will be born with the Western Blissful Man.

The cause and effect of the three worlds are inexhaustible, and God does not lose kind-hearted people. I am willing to place the three thousand realms of the east and the nine pins of lotus in the west. Seeing and hearing with joy Bodhi, in the end it becomes a saprajna.

If you want to know the cause of the past life, the recipient of this life is. If you ask about the fruits of the hereafter, the one who does it in this life is. ”

If you want to know the cause of the past life, the recipient of this life is. If you ask about the fruits of the hereafter, the one who does it in this life is. “

Since beginninglessness, we have created immeasurable and boundless sinful karma due to ignorance, self-grasping, ignorance, and so on, which is the "cause of past lives," so we are still circulating in the Three Realms and the Six Realms of Samsara and feeling immeasurable and boundless afflictions and sufferings, which are the "fruits" that we have felt so far, that is, the "recipients of this life."

So what do we do? If we can cherish the human body we have now and use it to accumulate virtue and do good deeds and practice the Dharma, this is the "being a person in this life", then in the next life we will be able to obtain the goodness of humanity and nature, and even be reborn in the Western Elysium, and if we practice the Dharma, we can even become a Buddha immediately, which is the "fruit of the afterlife". If we don't "accumulate virtue and do good deeds and practice the Dharma" in this life, but still create the cause of samsara as we did in our previous lives, which is "being a doer in this life," then in future lives we will still feel immeasurable suffering in samsara as we did in the past, which is the "fruit of future lives."

Here's an example. If farmers do not give up their seeds in the spring, they will not harvest the grain after the fall. The seeds were also obtained by planting in the spring and harvesting in the autumn of the previous year.

In the same way, if we are very poor in this life, this is the "recipient of this life", and we should know that in our previous lives, we did not make offerings to the Buddha, we did not give to sentient beings, that is, we did not practice making offerings to others, and this is the "cause of our past lives." If we understand this truth and are diligent in this life, which is "a doer in this life", then the future life will definitely feel that the wealth is used to perfection, which is the "fruit of the future life".

1. The Diamond Sutra has not been told to people, and the heart cannot be obtained in the past. Now the heart is unattainable. The future is uncertain. If you have repaired your heart, you are also a bodhisattva.

2. You want to change your fate through practicing Buddhism, you are utilitarian and profitable, and you will not change your destiny in life.

3. Therefore, whatever you do or what you practice, you must understand the principle of the method, that is, at least you must be clear about what his theory says.

Personal opinion, FYI!

Unintentional accumulation of virtue and good deeds.

can be improved. First of all, you must have a good heart.

He Xin must practice the Dharma.

Of course, there are improvements, and many of them are out of control, all due to anger and unwillingness. In practice, many things have been seen through, and a calm mind is conducive to resolving many contradictions, and this is improvement.

How to change your fate? "Turn your mind"! Turn evil thoughts, and fate becomes bad; Turn to good thoughts, and your destiny will be better. Therefore, don't go to someone to tell your fortune in the future, only you know your own life!

The process of studying the Dharma is the process of correcting one's wrong behavior, and it is the process of improving one's destiny. Here I recommend a book "The Four Disciplines of Liaofan", which writes in detail and clearly the methods of changing your fate, you can go and see it.

The merits and benefits of giving are many more, such as:

1. If you give with pure faith and respect, you will not be envied and will always be respected.

2. Those who give on time have a pure body and mind, and are at peace at all times, etc.;

So how can we give this merit so that we can get it, like the simplest (and this is also the method I usually use): give incense, and there will be no troubles and stench in the future.

Therefore, I often burn incense to worship the Buddha and pray for the blessings of my family and others;

Buddhists believe that incense has a direct impact on people's body and mind. Good fragrance is not only fragrant and makes people happy, but also can help people reach the realm of calmness, emptiness and agility, and achieve positive concentration in the heart and happiness, and realize self-nature. Moreover, the smell of good fragrance has a subtle edification of people, which can cultivate people's physical and mental roots to develop in the direction of righteousness and goodness.

If you have a heart, it is recommended that you customize a prayer incense suitable for the believer himself on the phaseless copper stove one-on-one, and the individual has been using the incense of the phaseless copper furnace, which is also a helping thing for the cultivation of other believers.

Amitabha

1. Those who are meritorious, who praise the victory according to the immeasurable and boundless of the five fruits, are all called merits, are said to be able to break off the self-treatment forever, are the fruits of the separation of all paramitas, and are the fruits of the present Dharma from which they are given and received from others, and they are the fruits of the scholars that increase their victories and reincarnate after the next life, and they are the fruits of equal flow, and the great bodhi is the fruits of the increase.

In addition, those who are virtuous also gain merit, and they gain merit, so it is called merit. The ninth chapter of the Mahayana righteousness says: "Words of merit, merit is function, and good has the merit of benefiting the welfare, so it is called merit."

This merit is his good deeds, and it is called merit. Tiantai Renwang said: "Give things and fame and merit, and return to virtue."

The treasure cave of the Shenghu Sutra said: "Evil is full of words, and good is full of virtue." Those who are virtuous also gain merit, and those who cultivate merit also gain merit.

2. What kind of practice is not thinking about anything? Don't you want to meditate and participate in meditation? In fact, even if you meditate deeply, you still know and see, but you just contemplate the true heart and do not move as if you were not moving.

If you can't think about anything, and you can't mention your knowledge, you will fall into a drowsiness or have no memory, and you will fall into evil knowledge, **What virtue is there?

3. When dedicating, you only need to dedicate clearly, of course, dedication also needs to be sincere, the more sincere the heart, the better the effect of dedication. If the dedication is stingy, the dedication is basically ineffective.

It is said that saving a life is better than creating a seven-level floating slaughter, so Buddhism advocates the cycle of good and evil, follows the theory of reincarnation, and the so-called merit is equivalent to the Tang monk in Journey to the West is the reincarnation of the tenth generation of good people, and the accumulation of good will get a good future, which is a good reincarnation.
