The essence of Zen Master Huilu’s quotations

Preface:

In the "Vimalakirti Sutra", the layman Vimalakirti said to Shariputra: "The Buddha said the eight liberations. A kind person accepts and practices, how can he listen to the Dharma with the desire to eat?" (Translated into vernacular: The Buddha taught the Eight Wonderful Dharmas of Liberation, and you follow the teachings, do you still have the thought of eating when you listen to the Dharma?) In other words, the Buddha's wonderful Dharma. Far more delicious than the world's most delicious food, it is truly pure food. Those who know how to taste it will be satisfied with their inner stomach and be more happy than they appear on the outside. 1. The reason why people suffer is that they pursue the wrong things.

2. It's not so much that others make you suffer, but rather that your own self-cultivation is not enough.

3. If you don't trouble yourself, others will never trouble you. Trouble is just because you can't let it go in your heart.

4． Discipline yourself well and leave others alone.

5. If you don't forgive all living beings, if you don't forgive all living beings, you will suffer yourself.

6． People who don't have enough blessings will often hear right and wrong; people who have enough blessings will never hear right and wrong.

7. Practice is a piece of work.

8． Cultivation means correcting one's own concepts and not letting wrong concepts fall into the pit of our life and death. That is very dangerous.

9. You must always thank the sentient beings who gave you adversity.

10． You must always forgive all living beings, no matter how bad they are, or even if they have hurt you, you must let go in order to gain true happiness.

11. When you are happy, you have to think that this happiness is not eternal. When you are in pain, you have to think that this pain is not eternal.

12. Only by knowing yourself, surrendering yourself, and changing yourself can you change others.

13． You can have love, but don't be attached, because separation is inevitable.

14． Don't waste your life on something you will definitely regret.

15. When you let go, there will be no worries.

16. The first concept in learning Buddhism is to never look at the faults of all sentient beings. Looking at the faults of all sentient beings will forever pollute yourself, making it impossible to practice.

17. Every trauma is a kind of maturity.

18. When you know the confusion, you are not pitiful. When you don't know the confusion, you are the most pitiful.

19. You should not always be dissatisfied with others, you should always review yourself. If you are dissatisfied with others, you will suffer yourself.

20． All good things are also false, so don't be too arrogant about yourself.

21. When you are worried, you have to tell yourself that this is all fake. What are you worried about?

22. When you didn’t learn Buddhism, nothing seemed right to you. After you learn Buddhism, everything will go smoothly for you.

23． You have to be tolerant of those who have different opinions from you, and life will be easier this way. If you keep trying to change him, it will be very painful for you.

You have to learn how to tolerate him, you have to learn how to tolerate him.

24. To admit one's own greatness is to admit one's own ignorance.

25. Cultivation means correcting one's wrong ideas.

26. It is difficult for a doctor to heal a dying person, and it is difficult for a Buddha to heal sentient beings who have no destiny.

27． People whose hearts are only filled with their own opinions and thoughts will never hear the voices of others.

28． When you persuade others, if you don't take into account the self-esteem of others, then no matter how good your words are, it will be useless.

29. You don’t have to look back to see who is cursing you? If a mad dog bites you, do you have to lie down and bite him back?

30. Nothing can remove the sting from the wound without the balm of silent sincerity and compassion.

Why do you allow yourself to feel angry at other people's evil thoughts, ingratitude, jealousy, and cunning? Arguing, scorn, and punishment cannot solve the problem. The easiest way is to erase it all. Instead, treat them kindly. "Good deeds" are the way to calm our anger.

31． Being able to talk but not do it is not true wisdom.
