LIFE IN LIFE (PART 19)

Ninth, the Buddhist teachings nembutsu " contradiction ", do not teach us to recite a Buddha. He taught us " Reciting the Buddha ten ", a concept of " ten Buddha" how? Ten Buddha is the Buddha Amitabha. Buddha Shakyamuni said, ten all the Buddhas like the Buddha as Amitabha Buddha. We recite Amitabha Buddha is not the recitation of ten Buddha. If you do not believe, the day goes to the Ten Thousand Buddhas, every day read the twelve thousand titles of the Buddha, fatigue tired but have enough ten Buddha or not? Ten Buddha's immeasurable boundless, you just recited twelve thousand titles, so far so many. Therefore, please tell you, you only recite a sentence Amitabha Buddha, there is no Buddha, why? The Buddha said very clearly, ten thirds of all Buddhas are all Amitabha Buddha, so you chanting the Infinite Life is chanting all the business that the Buddha taught. Ten-thirds of all the Buddhas, no Buddha does not teach the Infinite Life, The other sutras do not necessarily lecture, we must understand this doctrine. The Infinite Life Sage introduces the Western World of Ultimate Bliss as we recommend that we recite Amitabha Buddha's birthplace Pure Land, we must be right in this place that built solid faith.

Tenth, the Buddha taught " Guiltlessness ," this is true wisdom. We often say, " Vien dynasty not " to say to you, poor is also one of the dharmas, crime is also one of the things, it is " no"Is not it? If one does not all, then your sins are truly eliminated. In front of me, through repentance, there are three types of repentance: career, transcendence, and karma. Confinement of tanh is not to kill karma. Right here we have to be very meticulous Assembly, misunderstanding the meaning will be very troublesome, think that the Buddha said the crime should not have to worry, do many crimes are not unharmed, so broken. Do you have a bar today? If the shop does not, the first, the ego, no, all the French are not new, there is no French law is not right, the immediate results, karmic results immediately, most should not misunderstand. So let the Buddha put this sentence in the last, true you can recite the Buddha to the most unconvincing mind, plus the new sin incarnate. In other words, you have ants from the negativity,

In fact, at present we, transgender career is the most victorious, the most intelligent. The case of layman Li Moc Nguyen is a shift in karma. He was sick, it was karmic but he could transfer. If you can transfer then you can transfer. I remember the previous day in Singapore lectures have spoken with them, I also shortened. Many people who watch online tell me that I can not live 45 years, so I also change my career. This life I study the Buddha, this life, real life can transfer, even I moved even more gentle than Li Yuan. So far he is still a little sick but I only have one month. At the age of 45, I was sick for a month, because I knew the life expectancy was here, although no one told me. So I do not look for a doctor, nor take medicine, every day to eat less porridge with less vegetables, only Amitabha Buddha waiting for birth. I recite a month when the disease is out, it is transferable. We can truly move, just be true to the heart.

In short, the Blessed One said, "If a man follows the Buddha's teachings, cultivate the Ten Minds", Recognizing the ten kinds of sentient beings, we often call the mind of samsara, then tu ten types of Karma of samsara will transcend the three realms of the six paths. This type of spiritual practice must be very hard effort, then our poor from the past to this life can be deducted. Actually in six lines, each one from the past countless lives have not evil do not do, too poor creative workmanship. If you do not create the poor, how can this body, how can bear this retribution? Today we are this body, often birth, sickness where pain is the current karma, the karmic retribution is the core of the past life has created. So, from now on, we must use the three realms of the mind y according to the teachings of the Buddha.

When you repent, if you do not remember the teachings of the Buddha, do not remember the 20 things I have preached today, there is still a very simple method including 20 things in it. It is the recitation of the Buddha, the recitation of Amitabha Buddha, the mind of Amitabha Buddha, the prostration of Amitabha Buddha, our three karmic respects Amitabha Buddha, all my lectures have all in it, very effective. In the house offering a statue Amitabha Buddha, often thought of a Buddha, in the heart of you have a Buddha. Only offer one, should not change, assuming you think this person and then think of the other, until the end, in the end what is Amitabha Buddha to lead generals? So the best of all life just offering a statue of Amitabha Buddha.

When I first started studying Buddhism, there was an old layman giving me a statue of Amitabha Buddha. It is this statue in front of me here, made of porcelain is also very famous, since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty to roughly the same than about 300 years of history. Present in Taiwan, in the library of Tibet. This statue is very rare, we often go everywhere, so I brought the Buddha statue, photographed and printed in large numbers, about a hundred tens of thousands, distributed donations to people. Nowhere to go, I have a roll, no comment, I see this Buddha statue should be very deep. In recent years, Taiwan sculpture Buddha statue has progressed. They modeled it, carved out for me a very similar statue. Currently there are about one hundred and two hundred statues, beautiful sculpture.

So often think Buddha, should not start thinking, should not think other things. Another thought is to create karma, we day dreaming Buddha, reciting Buddha, bowing Buddha. The middle-aged and older now move too little, walked out the door is sitting in the car, at home, sitting comfortably sled, due to less movement, the body apparatus gradually aging, birth disease. O Lord Buddha is the best way to exercise, each day a hundred prostrate bow, early morning fifty bow, fifty evening bow. Lord Buddha brought good opportunities to mobilize without leaving the three glasses of glass, the mind is not moving, the mind always Buddha, remember the Buddha, reciting the Buddha is also repentance.

In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, Tu Van Quan was a very skilled writer. The Ten Thousand Buddhas, Japan, collects his thirty kinds of writings, including a collection of the Infinite Buddha, which is the commentary of the Infinite Life Buddha. In it, he said, all sentient beings are extremely obese, any discussion of any law can not help but pitiful. However, there is one way, Amitabha Buddha, can chastise your poor. So you want to repent, want to pray to kill sin, the concept of " Amitabha Buddha " is the most effective.

His words are completely grounded, not arbitrary. He commented on the Infinite Consciousness, this koan in the Business of Infinite Life Buddha. You see, King Ah To hear the incitement of Devadatta, who is jealous of the achievements of the teachings of the profits of Shakyamuni Buddha. Devadatta is also very intelligent, always looking for ways to sabotage the Buddha, except Shakyamuni Buddha to replace himself. When Ajit was Prince, the message of Devadatta instigated Aunty To conspire at the same time overthrow the throne of his father. At the time of the map has killed the father, damage the body, self-ordained as king. As Devadatta said: " He is the new king, I am the Buddha, we two co-dominate the country", From which he created the crime of evil king, killing father harm mother, breaking up harmony, causing the Buddha blood. Poor, even if all repentance in the Buddha's meditation is no way can be deducted. At the time of death, King A Soap new remorse, repentance, a recitation of Buddha's birth of Pure Land. He was born rebirth.

So the Pure Land method is very rewarding. To create a crime against the evil one must destroy A Hell, then only you sincerely repent, honest in the beginning. In the Tibetan Sutra, there is a set of A-kingship, the Shakyamuni Buddha, who told the stories of his life, he reborn a relatively high, high-middle-class birth. We hear the Buddha can not imagine, high dignity so that we have to deeply feel, do not dare to contempt when evil people create in the world evil, why? At the time of dying they may be penitent rebirth, higher dignity than us. Therefore, the reborn Western world of the Ultimate Blade has two types of people: a kind of ordinary recitation of the Buddha, evil monks, meritorious deeds, nine reborn births; Another type is when the death penalty, birth of these people can not think.

In Chinese history, the rebirth of the magician Oanh Kha, although we do not know in any dignity but can guess the certain taste is not low. That is the reincarnation of sins, the true self knows that I do wrong. He is a person who does not hold fast, does not keep the rules, a poor family, but fortunately he believes the cause and effect. He knows what he has done, the future is destined to hell. Thinking of hell, he immediately feared, that is the good of this person. Now there are many people when it comes to hell, they are not afraid, so big we can not not bother them. Oanh Kha thought to hell was afraid. He asked his fellow practitioners to find help. A colleague brought him the book " Revelation story ". See the recitation of the Buddha in the " rebirth of the story"He was so touched, so he made up his mind, closed the room, only recited Amitabha Buddha. He did not sleep, did not eat, did not drink, only a vow to recite Amitabha Buddha for three days and three nights. Indeed, Amitabha Buddha became a fool, Amitabha Buddha told him that he still has ten years of life, advised him to try to study, after ten years, until death, the Buddha will come forward. Mage Oanh Kha then asked Amitabha Buddha: " I know my own gas is too heavy, can not resist enchanted, outside the lead will again create pity, so ten years do not need more. Now I want to follow you, otherwise the next ten years do not know how many more will make up" Buddha Amitabha heard, nodded his words. He will come back after three days. He was very happy, immediately opened the newspaper with the mass in the temple that three days after Buddha Amitabha will lead him reborn. People in the temple suspected his mind has a problem, a bad man so bad how can be reborn? However, people still wait to see three days later. On the third day, he took a bath instead of new clothes, pure sex. At the beginning of the chanting, he asked the fellow initiates to take off, not chanting in the normal course of the chanting of the Amitabha, reciting Amitabha to see him off. The initiates of course are also very happy to recite Amitabha Buddha. Recite roughly about a minute, about fifteen minutes, Oanh Kha wizard turned to tell everyone: " Buddha Amitabha arrived, farewell to people"He went.

You see, he had no illness, only meditate three days and three nights, not long time, why can he reborn? Those who think, three days and three nights together with the principles of the Life Sutra said is absolutely compatible. The Bodhi mind is dedicated to Amitabha Buddha, the Great Bodhisattva said " Collected six apartments, pure continual thought " is also quite compatible. Three days and three nights a Buddhist sentence is not mixed, not skeptical, uninterrupted, authentic continual thoughts, so his sin all spent, feel the Buddha to lead.

The sins can not be ignored, the problem is whether you really mind or not, there is sincerely want to repent or not. You have to learn the wizard Óanh Kha, self-created poor deceitful people, have the courage to speak out, fear to think of hell, and sincere repentance. He succeeded, becoming a good example for us. The gods of the world as Khong La Phu Tu also teach us in our daily life, " Diary of resentment, moral virtue, " let alone the Buddha taught us " Great compassion, body equality", That is right in the life of the penitential practice. Others are good for us, we must thank grace. At present, why do people so much grace grace so much because they do not know grace, say hard to hear, do not know good. It is not easy for ordinary people to distinguish between those who receive higher education and even their doctorates, who have relative status in society and do not know what is called grace. . They find the benefit of forgetfulness, although they work very well in the company, they have the ability but when the other company to seduce the bribe with the promise of good treatment, they left this party but side that. They do not know that the status quo is nowhere to be, because people bring to you, after you have then see the benefits of forgetfulness, do not know grace, that is the poor work .

So even the saints of the world also teach us " Diary of resentment, moral virtue", We must thank grace. Whenever someone reproaches, humiliates, or harms us, we also purify the mind with them. This direct is the heart that the Buddha said, is sincere reverence. We use the heart of reverence for them, that is human morality. Absolutely no resentment to others, must know after the resentment, eternal life, not the same, correspondence, do not know when the new ending. Nowadays, other people denigrate, humiliate, or harm us, that is our retribution. Why do not they harm others, harm others and harm us? Certainly in the past life we ​​have destroyed, harmed them, so today they meet us, correspondence should be received. This debt is not paid off, I no longer bear resentment, revenge, This debt came to an end. So we have to use the heart, sincere treatment for these people, debt repayment finished. Should not be lifeless to press back to report back, so disturbing. That's the true wisdom that the Buddha taught. Should not make the problem become more complicated, it must bring it satisfactorily, fullness, we are on the new bodhisattva is sailing, new obstacle.

The Buddha also said, " Unequal origin, children of any General, " the Bat Nha often said " Ly most general, the most appropriate means ", should not take these Prime Minister in the heart, for all phenomena , should not be hated. Consciousness, should not have craving heart; Do not agree with your own nor should have anger hatred. In the scene or adversity, good people or evil people, the pure mind, pure heart of his own, that is called spiritual practice. Therefore, the life of true happiness is good, the mind is not attained in any circumstances, your mind is permanently stable, forever without the external world fluctuations. The ancient Chinese often said, "Be wise"The simpler the life, the healthier, the most important is the pure mind, not a ceiling.

At present, the world is very serious pollution, pollution in the mind, mental pollution, pollution of ideas, pollution, so what methods to prevent, what methods to counter? Method of pure mind, center of equality. Our pure heart is not polluted, before keeping the mind pure, keep the mind equality. In the mind of equality, the most important is the resurrection of the body equals, the body can be equal, all other things are equal. Now we are ordinary people, when we first learn, we will be influenced by circumstances, so the circumstances can not be ignored. When you are honest, the situation will not affect you. This is the feng shui that we often say. What is Feng Shui? Is the influence of circumstances. If we want peace and quiet,

If you take a little note, in ancient China, the ancients built a house, a garden house followed many generations. If you design a house that can not be maintained for 300 years then people will not invite you to build. You build a house at least 300 years. You make a chair that can at least be used for a hundred years. Chinese furniture is now called antiques, do not have to spend a few days and then change the other, there is no luxury. You have great blessings, so the Chinese consider the situation in the home, know how to build a good four bowl. The person in the body peace of mind. We find foreigners' houses are not so, foreign houses are very strange, especially with a lot of pointed, so people in that heart will not be. So foreigners in a few years, they sell the house move, Like the nomads, they have no roots, no native. And the Chinese have a local flavor. Foreigners in one place rarely go through five years, usually two or three years as they move. At present, some young Chinese builders also study foreigners in strange ways, so the people in the center are also monstrous, so how can that society be safe? To If the Bodhisattva Buddha is not a problem, they are not affected, but ordinary people are affected by circumstances, the current situation the scientist called the magnetic field. They are affected by magnetic fields, which we can not ignore. At present, some young Chinese builders also study foreigners in strange ways, so the people in the center are also monstrous, so how can that society be safe? To If the Bodhisattva Buddha is not a problem, they are not affected, but ordinary people are affected by circumstances, the current situation the scientist called the magnetic field. They are affected by magnetic fields, which we can not ignore. Currently some young Chinese construction worker also learned foreigners building houses a strange way, so people in that center also periodically bizarre monsters, so that society, how can peace To If in the Buddhist Bodhisattva no matter what, they are not affected, but ordinary circumstances we are affected, the present circumstances scientist called from school. They are affected by magnetic fields, which we can not ignore.

So you want to buy a house, the house must be built to stabilize, there should be too many angles, many angles, big negativity, the house is not square but rectangular, there should be no corner. Many foreign homes, the door is cut off a corner, the type of home so people in it no more than a hundred days, will definitely think of wrong. So that room should only do the living room, the most should not be because if in place will start the idea. Right brightness, ordered order, the lecture must be rectangular, should not cut a corner. We are influenced by circumstances so we have to choose good circumstances, choose healthy food. Eating not need much, not so many colors do not need to be high. The noble supplements are for the sake of others, but they suffer in their place. I am very hard to make money to buy these things to make a profit, and wealth. When brought back, the reality is fake. Nest price here very high, but nutrition or not? Not at all. A salty nest with sugar but the actual nutrition is located in the alum sugar, so not your money has been washed away. Finally dunk for the seller of the nest. The present person mostly likes to listen, not like to listen to advice. If you do not believe, cheat, you believe. Newspapers and magazines advertising is also all the trick. So life is as simple as possible, pure heart center, eating simple simple, healthy living long. A salty nest with sugar but the actual nutrition is located in the alum sugar, so not your money has been washed away. Finally dunk for the seller of the nest. The present person mostly likes to listen, not like to listen to advice. If you do not believe, cheat, you believe. Newspapers and magazines advertising is also all the trick. So life is as simple as possible, pure heart center, eating simple simple, healthy living long. A salty nest with sugar but the actual nutrition is located in the alum sugar, so not your money has been washed away. Finally dunk for the seller of the nest. The present person mostly likes to listen, not like to listen to advice. If you do not believe, cheat, you believe. Newspapers and magazines advertising is also all the trick. So life is as simple as possible, pure heart center, eating simple simple, healthy living long.

We hope to stay healthy for a long time and we must understand the method of cultivation. Want to go through life healthy long life, the fame must be as frugal, the mind as pure. Kinh said, if everywhere, walking and sitting in the same center of mind, always keep the mind of pure net, then it is the direct immortal, the Pure Land, " net calm realms net " . Pure Land is right in the heart. Now you are in the Pure Land, the future when the reporter discharge, certain reborn Pure Land Di Da. This Pure Land and the other Pure Land. Can maintain the principle of business Kim Cang said, " Immigrant minister, as if immobile", In the non-attachment, in the mind, that is called the most general Tam Hyi. In the realm of equality, in the uncontrolled favor, the mind is calm; In adversity does not start anger. Real or not, you can keep the mind is pure, equal, that is "The most Tam Ham, the Tam Doi ".

On the Buddhist scriptures say, seeds if sowed in good soil, fertile soil, certain seeds rooted roots, fresh flowers. This example is for the practitioner. You must obey the Buddha's teachings, bring the principles, these methods apply in life. The principle in the Buddhist scriptures is the doctrine of human beings, the work ethic, the object of objectivity. These doctrines are intimately related to our real lives, not separate from each other. If you study then you can use immediately in life. If we have learned what we can not do, what can we learn to do, how can the Buddha be called complete wisdom? The world has many intellectuals, educated, have taught us a lot of great ethics. But these doctrines have nothing to do with life, no use,

In the North-Han Dynasty, " Thanh Dam ", not suited to life, although saying very magical, very high but the students can not use anything, it is not the wisdom of salvation. Wisdom of fullness is to teach all beings, after learning the benefits immediately, can be used immediately. The Buddha is the wisdom of salvation. What the Buddha preaches in all sutras, apart from our lives, our walking outfits, these sutras can not be called intellectual high. Here we have to take the nature of Buddhism to know the details, then know what Buddhism is related to us, and why to learn it.

In the past, Ouyang said, " Buddhism is the life that needs to be ," " need " is indispensable. Every single person is indispensable, no matter how old you are, how you spend your life, what kind of career you have, all you need, no one except you Other religions can not leave. If you leave then you will not learn anything, but if you learn it is the true wisdom to save the full. Only true wisdom can save the fullness of life can bring you a real happy life. The gift is so good, if we do not study hard, is not self-committing or lost? So who is smart? What is the intellectual?

We learn the Buddha, thoroughly understand the true benefits of Buddhism should also introduce to friends who are close to us to contact them to share with them. Bringing virtue benefit of the Buddha's dharma introduction to them is the degree of beings, is the benefit beings. Everyone can follow the Buddhist Dharma that study, our society is peaceful, prosperous life. So the last benefit is still self-interest, we help people, people help us, together to form a perfect society, stability, prosperity, wealth, everyone together enjoy. That is the current benefits of Buddhism. The benefits that we do not enjoy, so if you say, wait for the future will be more winning, who can trust? Money is the benefit, after the kind of win-win that we can believe,
