Good roots to study Buddhism.VIERTNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THE WOMEN OF THE SAKYA CLAN CHAN TANH.
To study Buddhism must have good roots. Without good roots, it is impossible to study Buddhism. Actually, people with bad roots can't study Buddhism, because when they hear the word "Buddha" they have gone elsewhere, as if they are allergic.
Studying Buddhism to become a Buddha?
Most people with this evil root are poor or disabled, because they have done many evil deeds in their previous lives. In this life, they are not "charming" enough to hear the Buddha's voice, and do not know how to do good deeds. But there are also rich people, people with high status, great status due to merits from previous lives; But in this life, I don't do good, but only do evil, create bad karma, so I can't study Buddhism . If there are not enough conditions to distinguish right from wrong, do good and avoid evil in time and repent of karma, then surely the future is Hell fruit available for them. In the Lotus Sutra, Buddha also said: To study Buddhism, there must be several prerequisites: Having a good root; be protected by the Buddhas; and generate bodhichitta. Having good roots and generating bodhichitta is explained in the previous chapters. Being protected and remembered by the Buddhas is being reminded and cared for by the Buddhas, just as a child who goes to school is reminded by his parents, he is more diligent. Therefore, if you study Buddhism without the above three factors, the results are not guaranteed.

Buddhist Studies, like other disciplines, some people understand quickly, some people understand slowly, and some people… don't understand. So some people pass early, some pass late, and some fail all the time. The Buddha called this as a result of the Good Root. Due to the Good Root, people were born as rich and happy children; who gave birth to poor, miserable children. Smart people, stupid people; the general halo, the disabled, the deaf, the deaf, and the mute; who is the king of glory, who is only a lowly servant. More or less, the difference is due to the good or bad roots from previous lives. That is the law of cause and effect - self-made, self-accepting - Buddha taught; It is not due to the injustice of heaven and earth or the gods. We see in the Aham Sutra, when talking about the attainment and enlightenment of Buddha Pi Ba Thi, the opening sentence reads: "Thanks to the training of good roots, it is enough, bodhisattvas. Pi Ba Thi contemplating the Twelve Dependent Originations…”
Thus, it is clear that you must practice enough Good Roots to be able to start cultivating to become a Buddha. And Shakyamuni Buddha said the same thing in the Lotus Sutra: "The Great Bodhisattvas want to become Buddhas quickly..." The title Great Bodhisattva is used to refer to those who have "planted" a lot of Good Roots from previous lives for the sake of the Buddha. to this life.
Therefore, intelligent people are people with good roots; wealth is due to good roots; and those who love to listen to the Buddha's teachingsThe more good roots they have, the more they have listened to the Buddha's teachings and practiced since many previous lives. Good roots and blessings are one. Having a good root is a blessing. Or if you create a blessing, you will have a good root. Therefore, those who have good roots should create more, and those who do not have or have little can create with merit in this life. The Buddha taught in the Infinite Life Sutra: If you want to create merit, you must do good; just don't kill, don't steal, don't commit adultery, don't cheat and cheat; At home, he is respectful to his parents, outside is kind to everyone; If you work as an employee, you must be wholehearted to the owner (not wholeheartedly "cheating", the owner pays the real salary, but works as a fake worker), to be an official must be wholehearted to the people. (Infinite Life, chapter 35). In general, if you want to create good roots and blessings in this life, you just need to live according to the Buddha's teachings: "Do not do evil deeds; do only good works; and keep the Mind pure. "Evil deeds are words or deeds that upset people, things that cause harm to people from spiritual to material. A good deed is a word or deed that benefits people and makes people happy.
If you want to live in peace, you need to study Buddhism
Keeping the Mind pure is to never have malicious intent to harm or hurt others. The Buddha also taught: Helping a poor and destitute person obtains immeasurable blessings than making offerings to three thousand Buddhas in three lifetimes. Therefore, one should not both go to the temple to worship the Buddha and do unethical and unethical things. If one creates such merit and good roots, then everyone has the ability to quickly become a Buddha in this one lifetime. Just as a person who intends to go into business must review how much capital he/she has, a person who has the heart to study Buddhism must review where his roots are and his merits, and always try to create more. The surest way to create more good roots is to "repent of karma" with the Buddha. In the house should have a Buddha table and practice the habit of bowing to the Buddha once a day to repent of the mistakes that we have committed intentionally or unintentionally from many previous lives. Not only do daily penances,
In the house should have a table of Buddha and practice the habit of bowing to the Buddha once a day to repent of the mistakes that we have committed intentionally or unintentionally from many previous lives.

Buddha taught there are 4 ways to create merit, called the Four Righteous Needs (Four things to do diligently):
1. When the mind starts to think of evil, get rid of that thought immediately;
2. When you realize you are doing evil, stop doing it immediately.
3. When the mind starts to think of good deeds, immediately proceed;
4. When you realize you are doing a good deed, try to complete it.
In addition, there is also a way to check how much your Good Root can contain, is to see how people around you treat you. If everyone loves and treats me well; If you encounter a difficult thing or a disaster in your life, it will be big and small, without damaging your life. This proves that he has created a lot of merit and is protected by good spirits. In this way, you can develop your mind to study Buddhism to become a Buddha medicine.
