Why do lay people who practice at home have bad thoughts when they listen to the Fa?

I think it's normal for lay people who practice at home to have bad thoughts when they listen to the Fa, and everyone has thoughts. There are a lot of them, so it's normal for you to have bad thoughts, as long as you can know about it, you don't have to pay attention to him. Because the more you ignore him, the more thoughts come to mind, so if you ignore him, it will naturally disappear.

Having bad thoughts has nothing to do with not practicing at home, it only means that you are not diligent and not working hard enough.

In the Buddha Diamond Sutra, it is said that the good protection of thoughts, all bodhisattvas, is that you should always observe and protect this thought, and not let the bad thoughts continue.

Because you have distracting thoughts or you have sins.

This one, it's the same whether you're at home or not. It can only be said that the better people cultivate, the less natural distractions there are, and the more distracting thoughts you have, the worse you are. Actually, it's best to ignore them.

You want to be a sea. Throw a stone at any one person and throw it inside, and you'll be in a monstrous wave. It's not realistic for you to throw this, right, so let him go?

Summary. Yes.

Chatting with a practitioner who is chanting Buddha at the same time, we will not disturb the practitioner.

Yes. Because a practitioner must have all his energy when reciting the Buddha, leading to a distracting thought, and all his thoughts are in the recitation of the Buddha, in this case, if you chat with the practitioner while he is reciting the Buddha, it will disturb the person's practice, that is to say, if you can't devote yourself to it, you will be able to comprehend it slowly, and you will get less knitting, so for him, it is also disrespectful to the Buddha.

Therefore, you should not choose this time to chat with him.

One thing, many people tell you the same correct way of thinking, the right method, and then you understand and apply it yourself, complete your own work and study, and fulfill your responsibilities and obligations, this is the practice.

One thing, many people tell you the same correct way of thinking, the right method, but you don't believe anyone's words, only rely on your own associations, your own calculations, your own attachments, there are always countless troubles and opinions about work and study, and you can't see your own responsibilities and obligations, this is not considered cultivation.

The so-called cultivation is actually to understand and understand the principles of being a person and doing things, and to put them into practice.

Whether at home or as a monk, the teachings of the Buddhas do not allow us to detach ourselves from life or dislike this world, but to let us know how to analyze, understand, and judge various problems in reality with wisdom, and find solutions to the middle way. Doing what we can and should do is the process of our own awakening, awareness, and then final enlightenment, which is called "self-purification". That is, you know what you should do.

Buddhism points to the troubles of life, but it does not take us out of society. Only by correctly controlling one's own psychology and one's own behavior will there be no troubles. The non-attachment of Buddhism does not require us to be sparse in our work, but to know what is "delusion" and what is "reality".

The work that should be done must be done well, and the obligations that should be fulfilled must be fulfilled, and we must not slack off, not confused, and not stubborn. To know what is the right action and what is the wrong attachment is the wisdom that the Dharma brings to us.

Practicing at home is called layman.

It is said that if you don't eat after lunch, you will have a different feeling.

Spiritual practice is to correct one's bad thoughts and bad habits.

Do not do all evil, do all good; Bow your head to see through, raise your head to let go, do your best to do everything but don't be too persistent, everything must follow the fate and not climb.
