What is the root of a Buddha? People in the world worship more, just because all living beings are s

Is the vastness of the universe caused by the Buddha's hand? Buddha is not a god, not a person, not a thing, good is a Buddha, a Buddha is good, all beings are good, then all beings are Buddhas!

In fact, it is very simple, the Buddha is the spiritual food imagined by human beings, and the purpose is to teach human beings to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, not how much money you donate to the temple every day if you believe in the Buddha, kowtow in front of the Buddha statue, you will be happy, your troubles will disappear, and the Buddha's light will shine on you! To believe in Buddhism is to do good, not to believe in superstition, and this must be distinguished!

Do not do all evil, practice all good, and purify oneself and righteousness, which is all Buddhism.

Freedom from the sea of samsaric suffering, freedom from suffering and happiness, many people in the world do not believe, and many of those who believe are out of the purpose of dissipating accumulation and escaping, so I personally believe that the most realistic meaning of Buddhism is to teach people to purify themselves, in other words, "know yourself".

To believe in Buddhism is to learn from the Buddha, not to worship some idol or something.

The Venerable Master Xuanhua once taught that if you are reborn in the Western Elysium, you can only advance and not retreat, and of course you are better than ordinary people. Because people cultivate the Tao, all other methods have an unsafe situation, and it is because there is no one to insure. Holding the mantra, holding the mantra for a few years, feeling that there is nothing to achieve, stopping, not holding it, this is going backwards.

Or after reciting the sutra for a few years, they felt that there was no benefit, so they stopped reciting it and retired. Or they will not retreat in this life, and then they will retreat again in the next life. In this life, I am also very diligent in reciting sutras and mantras, but if I don't achieve cultivation, in the next life, in the next life, I will not be diligent in the next life, so I will rest.

Why? Because Arhats have the faintness of dwelling in the womb, and Bodhisattvas have the mystery of separating yin. 」

Don't say that you are an ordinary man, even if you have attained the Arhat, as soon as you enter the womb, you will forget all your supernatural powers. The Bodhisattva has the mystery of separating the yin, and as soon as he passes through this womb, as soon as he is reincarnated, he is also lost. If you encounter good knowledge and can instruct you how to practice, you can also gain enlightenment. If you don't have good knowledge and you fall back in this life and even more in the next, it's not easy to develop this bodhichitta again, so it's very easy to fall back.

But when you are reborn in the Western Elysium, there is no retreat, only the forward refinement and then there is no retreat, and you can get these four non-retreats.

Four do not retreat, the first is not to retreat, the second is not to retreat, the third is not to retreat, and the fourth is not to retreat.

The first place does not retreat: When you are born in the Western Elysium, you get this Buddha position. When you go there, the lotus blossom is reborn, and when the lotus blossom opens, you will see the Buddha and hear the Dharma, and realize that there is no way to endure life, and you will not fall again. This is called not retreating.

The second line is not retreating: The ordinary people who practice diligently in this life and are lazy and do not diligently in the next life are called practicing without long-term mind. When you are born in the Elysian World, there are no sufferings of the three evil realms in that place, and the Gyalinga Pinga and the Bird of Common Destiny are all there to say the Dharma, all of which are helping Amitabha Buddha to say the Dharma.

Therefore, when you are born in the Elysian World, you will no longer be lazy in your spiritual practice, and you will always move forward and be brave and diligent.

The third thought is not retreating: It seems that we are practicing in the world of sampa and want to move forward today, and we have the idea of being diligent. After working hard for a while, I felt that it was very hard to work hard, and I was not so comfortable with rest, so I didn't work hard, and I had this lazy thought.

This thought has retreated, although the line has not retreated, the thought has already retreated. In the course of these few decades, there are more depraved hearts than diligent hearts! It's not easy not to retreat.

When you are born in the Western Blissful World, where you speak the Dharma at six o'clock in the day and night, you don't have such a situation of retreating from bodhichitta.

Fourth, not retreating: Born in the Blissful World, reborn in the lotus blossom, and at any time there will be no retreat to ordinary people, neither to retreat to the second vehicle, nor to the bodhisattva. When you go to Elysium in your lifetime, you will get these four non-retreats.

Therefore, the fourth kind of force is to use it without retreating from death.

According to Shakyamuni's primitive Buddhism, the purpose of cultivating Buddha is to get rid of suffering, not to gain benefits. Western Bliss: In primitive Buddhism, you can only think of this as a state, but you can't understand it as a place where it really exists.

In Buddhism today, Western Bliss is a real place, and in some sects it is believed that after you are reborn in Western Bliss, there will be a Buddha there to help you become a Buddha. However, whether it is primitive Buddhism or later deformed Buddhism, they all believe that the purpose of cultivating Buddhism is to get rid of suffering, not to gain profit. If you think about what is beneficial, you can't practice Buddhism.

What is the Western Elysium? Think about it. After there is a correct explanation, I know that the question is wrong.

You need to understand that the purpose of rebirth in Elysium is to have an environment where you can meditate and study Buddhism, to have unlimited time to study, to have a state that will not turn back, so that you can have a chance to become a Buddha, and if you can't get rid of the question you're asking now, you won't be able to go to Elysium in this life, let alone become a Buddha.

Amitabha.

To each his own, nothing special!

To save the heart. The salvation of the Buddha is called enlightenment. Enlighten the wisdom of the heart, not for it to covet the body.

If you come to save the heart and not save the body, then you can save the heart, and you can save the body, leave the body, and enter the realm of no body.

Dafang and other great cloud scriptures.

There is no body in all dharma realms. The appearance of reality is real after all. It's the name. Immeasurable, boundless, incredible. The accomplishment of great merits.

Such is the body. That is, the true Dharma body of all Buddhas. The meaning is incredible.

All living beings. I don't know where to wait. Nor can we always hold samadhi.

I don't know when I was a Buddha. I don't know the Buddha's wealth. I don't see the body of the Buddha.

I don't understand the appearance of Nirvana. I don't know whether the Dharma is extinguished or not. In other words, there is impermanence, no happiness, no self, no purity.

There are troubled arrows that are miscellaneous poisonous food. That's why I'm the one who is. Speak to the Buddhas, always happy and pure.

It is not your body that is relieved, but your soul.

The physical body can be extinguished, the soul can live forever, and many masters who have attained the right results can predict the place and time of their reincarnation in the next life after they have understood life and death.

If you do evil deeds and have karmic retribution, not only will you not be able to go to the Elysian World, but you may not even be able to enter the human realm, and you will be reincarnated as animals, plants, and even more humble creatures.

What Buddhism tells you is that the world is not what you see, but that there is the truth of the original cycle of cause and effect, and that you should do good deeds and accumulate merit to redeem your soul.

The enlightened one understands the truth, so he understands that everything is false. But sentient beings are not enlightened beings, they perceive falsehood as truth, so everything is true in their understanding. In order to help them, enlightened beings have to conform to their characteristics and needs.

The enlightened person understands that everything is a game, but the obsessed person thinks that everything is real. In order to help the Lost One, the Enlightened One pretends that everything is true and plays with the Lost One.

It's a very simple question, because you understand Elysium as a material world, so you have this question, but in fact, Elysium is not a material world at all, but a world of pure reality (reality is non-appearance) that is manifested by the power of Amitabha's wishes. For the sake of convenience, there are 4 earths in the Elysian World, 1 land for the cohabitation of all saints, 2 land for convenience, 3 land for solemn retribution, 4 Pure Land of Eternal Silence or doubts, since the Elysium is a world of reality and no appearance, then why does the Buddha describe the appearance of the Elysium in the scriptures? Isn't that a phase?

No, because when ordinary people have not yet attained the pure mind of their own nature, they must have a convenience when they have not fully realized all the dharmas and are not born, so what the Buddha describes is the land of all saints living together in the Elysian World and the solemn land of retribution, in fact, all the solemnities of the Elysian World are reflected by the wish of Amitabha Buddha, and it is for the convenience of sentient beings, and when we truly attain the Dharma of non-living forbearance, we will naturally enter the Pure Land of Eternal Silence, which is the pure Pure Land of Pure Appearance, so the Buddha is afraid that we will not be able to adapt to it all of a sudden, and it is impossible for us to attain the Buddhahood in an instant. That's why it's convenient to show these solemn environments, and you can say that the trees and birds of Elysium can say, which is enough to prove! Another important point is that all appearances are false and are said to your mind, which means that if you are empty after all, then your mind will not take the appearance if it is not moving. But it does not hinder the development of things.

For example, after the six ancestors had an epiphany, to the minds of the six ancestors, "all appearances are false", therefore, the hearts of the six ancestors remained unmoved, but this did not prevent the six ancestors from eating, drinking, sleeping, and saying the same ......You see! The void is asphalt, but how has the void ever hindered the development of all things? The nature can work, it is not a pool of stagnant water, all appearances are vain, if you see all the appearances and non-appearances, you can see the Buddha nature.

Therefore, the Buddha's mind is as if it is not moving, but it does not prevent the Buddha from preaching the Dharma So, in ancient times, someone asked Dazhu Huihai Zen Master what is practice? Monk Dazhu said: Eat when you are hungry, sleep when you are sleepy.

The man said, "What's the difference between this and an ordinary man?" Monk Dazhu said:

Ordinary people don't eat when they're hungry, they don't sleep when they're sleepy (meaning annoyance, troubles, and annoyance) and let's take another example, let's see if you can realize that ordinary people are: looking at mountains is mountains, looking at water is water, and seeing water is not waterAfter enlightenment:

Look at the mountain or the mountain, look at the water or the water, the first and the third, it seems to be the same, but its central realm is completely different, one is to see what is attached, the other is to see without hindering the seeing, but the heart is not moving, the heart is not moving, does not hinder the development of ten thousand laws, the Buddha in the "Diamond Sutra" didn't say? If people speak, if they come and go, if they sit or lie down, do they understand what I say? Subodhi said:

World-honored people do not understand the meaning of what the Buddha said. Elysium is a world of pure reality, and all kinds of solemn appearances are manifested for the convenience of all beings, but all kinds of solemnity are relative to the enlightened person, and his mind is as if he is not moving, and his mind is as if he is not moving, and it does not hinder the solemnity of all laws. Buddha-nature can work, and it can be used greatly.

You know, why do Buddhas and Bodhisattvas ask people to practice? Because 'the public cultivates the public, the mother-in-law cultivates the mother-in-law, and if you don't cultivate, you can't'. Buddhism talks about fate and cause and effect, and only with fate can there be life, and only with cause can there be effect; Don't talk about nature, don't talk about no cause.

Can Buddhism be compassionate? If the cause is sufficient, it can't, but if the cause is not sufficient, it can't. The truth of the Dharma does not talk nonsense, does not judge right and wrong, and does not mean that you can do whatever you want.

Buddhism is the law of cause and effect, that is, everyone eats and everyone is full; If you listen to the Buddha's words and practice according to the Dharma, you will be liberated from any suffering. If you don't follow that method, the Buddha will be helpless about your suffering. Doctors help people heal people, but his father is sick, and he can't tell him not to get sick or tell him not to die, it's a personal cause and effect.

Knowing this, you will know that although the Buddha was compassionate, he was still compassionate within cause and effect. Of course, the Buddha was compassionate, and he gave up the joy of eternal light to come to this world of suffering to save us, and this is the Buddha's compassion. Parents in the world are merciful enough!

Mom cooked for you, and you can't say, 'Mommy! You help me cook a good meal, and you still want me to eat, it's really long-winded!

You helped me eat. 'Mom eats, mom has a full belly, you can't be full yourself!' It's a given!

This must be understood.

It is precisely because people have to suffer all kinds of suffering in the world that the Buddha has to cross all sentient beings.

It's not that the Buddha wants to put sentient beings in the DAO world to suffer, but the reason why sentient beings suffer in the world is determined by the sentient beings themselves. All afflictions come from ignorance, that is, from lack of awareness, so self-grasping and dharma-grasping arise, and then there are disturbing obstacles and obstacles of knowledge, so that sentient beings cannot see the true state of the world and cannot get rid of the cycle of birth and death. Therefore, the suffering of sentient beings in the world stems from their ignorance, i.e., their lack of enlightenment, and it is not the Buddha who put them in the world to suffer.

Therefore, the Buddha's crossing of sentient beings is to liberate sentient beings from the suffering of the world, and the way to do this is to break through ignorance, to get rid of unconsciousness, to get rid of self-grasping and dharma-grasping, to get rid of the obstacle of afflictions and knowledge, so as to reach the other side of nirvana.

Asking for the blessing of the Buddha can only ask for some blessings, such as promotion and wealth, maybe you can't even ask for good fortune, because your own situation is determined by yourself, and if you do more good deeds in your previous life, you will have more blessings in this life, and it is estimated that you can't ask for Buddha. If you want to have supernatural powers or get rid of the cycle of birth and death, and no matter how much you ask for the Buddha, you can't ask for it, then you have to rely on your own practice, and you have to rely on yourself to break the obstacles of afflictions and knowledge.

It's not that the Buddha puts sentient beings in the world.

It is the cause of the sentient beings' own creation, and it is their own reincarnation.

According to the South Transmission.

Theravada Buddhism: The Buddha is not a genus.

The ever-changing and responsive God is not an omnipresent and omnipotent savior. The Buddha was an enlightened person of wisdom and virtue, a teacher who taught the way to get rid of afflictions.

Asking for the blessing of the Buddha is a folk belief, not the content of the real Dharma.

There is no way to bring about good fortune and misfortune, only people invite themselves. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas mainly teach us the method of breaking through confusion and enlightenment, and teach us the method of transforming our destiny, not the Buddha to determine the fate of sentient beings. The fate of all beings is determined by their own hearts. There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south.

Sentient beings are not created by Buddhas, nor are Buddhas capable of changing cause and effect. You misunderstood.

As for the eight great sufferings in the world, it is the cause and effect of one's own evil.

The Buddha did not go to the suffering of sentient beings, but the Buddha saw through the suffering of the world, investigated the causes, and made a wish to cross sentient beings.
