How to support the boundless buddhas correctly?

Excerpt from A Brief Interpretation of Huayan Sutra of Dafang Guangfo

Master Xuanhua tells

Disciple: Master mentioned supporting countless Buddhas. I want to ask how to make this support correctly.

Master: It depends on your own strength. Do what you can and try your best to make Buddhism flourish. This is to support countless buddhas. If you don't let Buddhism develop, you will only be jealous of obstacles, that is, you won't support Buddhists. For example, when you see this Dojo thriving for a few days, you want to destroy it, that is, you don't support the Buddhas. Supporting Buddhas does not mean that I go to the south to support the southern Buddhas, to the north to support the northern Buddhas, to the east to support the eastern Buddhas, to the west to support the western Buddhas, and to the center to support Sakyamuni Buddhas. There is no need for all parties to do so. You do your best to protect Buddhism, that is, to support the buddhas. Does anyone else have any questions?

Disciple: Master, regarding the light of Buddha and Bodhisattva, I think all light is integrated, not all kinds of light, but we see some light according to the different opportunities of all beings, right?

Host: Yes! Yes! How do you know that you can't find Buddha anywhere? You put it down now! Let go of the heart of praying for Buddha and you will see Buddha. If you can't let go of looking for Buddha, you will never see Buddha. How's it going?

A mage: Yes! Nothing! Nothing!

Host: Then why are you still here? Hahaha! Yes, no, why should there be? Tell me. None! Why do you have it again? (The master said to his disciples) The most important thing I want to tell you is that you should not let go of your desire for Buddha and ask for women everywhere.

Guo Tong: I want to talk about classics. It is not right to often see other things on the classics. Can you put mantras in the classics?

Master: Why do you ask this question?

Guo Tong: Because I saw someone put a spell on a classic.

Master: Classics can be put on classics, and spells can be put on classics. This is also ok, because the Buddha said. But the classics include Mahayana Sutra and Hinayana Sutra, which should be placed on top and Hinayana Sutra on the bottom; Curse can be played regardless of Mahayana or Hinayana classics. You got it?

If there is self-study and more blessings for Buddhas, there is no central number.

It is this light that makes you wish for the merits of Buddha.

If you are cultivated, many people will benefit: in the previous paragraphs, it was said that there were four kinds of karma to practice with Buddha before you could see the light that Buddha gave us. Now these four sentences are about self-cultivation, which means that all the good things you repair are done by yourself, and you are not with the Buddha. We seem to be willing to practice all the blessings now, but the Buddha has entered nirvana. What should we do? It is necessary for us to cultivate ourselves, do all the good deeds and cultivate all the blessings ourselves.

To cultivate the blessing industry, we must first start by supporting the buddhas, so there is no end to supporting the buddhas: there is no end to supporting so many buddhas. So, are we going to walk in front of every Buddha and support countless Buddhas? No need. Because now we can't walk to every Buddha on two legs to support him. You can't ride to the Buddha to support you. You may not find it by car. Because there are Buddhas in this world, other worlds and the boundless world, the number of Buddhas is just like Ganges sand, and it is not easy to find them everywhere by car, boat or plane. So where is the Buddha? Buddha is in front of you, Buddha is in front of you. Don't miss it in person. So the Buddha is the heart, and the heart is the Buddha. You have a sincere heart to support Buddha, and Buddha will accept your support. Where the hell is the Buddha? Buddha is everywhere, everywhere, everywhere. He is the Buddha of the whole dharma circle. But if you are not sincere, there is no Buddha anywhere.

So when we worship Buddha, we must be respectful. We can't look east, west, front and back. We can't do this. What you do is insincere and unfaithful. To worship Buddha is to worship Buddha wholeheartedly, and to hold a mantra is to hold a mantra wholeheartedly. It seems that we are worshipping Buddha and chanting incantations here in the Buddhist temple, and our hearts run upstairs when we can't hear any movement upstairs; There was a noise downstairs, and it spread to the downstairs. There was a noise in the street, and my heart ran into the street again; There is a voice at the door, and my heart runs to the door. You can't run like this. Mind your own business, because your Buddha worship is more important than anything else; Your chanting and holding spells are more important than anything else. Unless you are specifically asked to take care of things, you will take care of things again; Don't mind your own business unless you are told to, so that you can concentrate on it. This is the real way to hold Buddha and worship Buddha.

True undivided attention is to worship Buddha wholeheartedly, recite scriptures and hold spells, and only then can we have the power to induce Taoist intercourse. So everyone said, "I have worshipped so many Buddhas, read so many sutras and performed so many spells, ah!" I've been practicing for so many years and got nothing! "What do you want to achieve? You are there to worship Buddha, daydreaming, daydreaming, while worshipping Buddha, while daydreaming, meddling, how can this be induced? Therefore, cultivation must be single-minded. I told you before that when I was reading, there were drums and bells beside me, so you couldn't disturb me. I can concentrate on my studies without being influenced by the bells and drums. So I can't hear the bells and drums? No, I can hear it, but I won't be swayed by the sound. We should worship Buddha now, so should we. We should worship Buddha wholeheartedly and not be shaken by other noises.

When you worship Buddha, you should read these words:

It is incredible to be polite, polite, free, inductive and communicative.

My Dojo is like the shadow of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

I am in front of the buddhas, and I am facing the buddhas.

"Can worship is empty", and can worship refers to us. We are now a sentient being who can worship all buddhas. What we "worship" are ten buddhas, all of which are empty. Then he said, "Don't mention it when you are free! Now that I am free, what should I do for him? " Yes, nature is empty, inaction is empty; But if you want to prove inaction, you must start from doing something. So when you don't prove emptiness, you can't say, "Since emptiness, I don't want to bow to the Buddha, and the Buddha doesn't want to accept my gift. They are all empty! " Everything is empty, this is a vacuum; But you have to start from the wonderful, you have to worship, so this is called being able to be polite and empty.

It is inconceivable to have induction. Although it is empty, there is a feeling in the middle, which is incredible. You worship Buddha here, and the Buddha has received your gift, and you have increased your happiness. This is an incredible sense of friendship. "My Dojo is like an emperor's bead", and my Dojo is like an Indra's treasure bead, which will reveal everything. "The shadows of the ten buddhas and bodhisattvas will appear here." I'm in front of the Buddha. "I'm here to worship the Buddha. My figure and shadow are in front of the ten buddhas, so if you support one Buddha, you support all the buddhas. If you support the buddhas, you support one Buddha. Then my body and the bodies of the buddhas all appeared to each other in this sphere. "My head and face are connected with the Buddha's feet." I am dedicated to the ceremony.

When you worship Buddha, you should really read these poems. Add the name of the Buddha you worship. For example, I worshipped Sakyamuni Buddha, and I said, "In the shadow of Gu Mei, my figure is in front of Sakyamuni, and my head is in full swing." If you worship Guanyin, say, "Guanyin bodhisattva is in the shadow, and I am in front of Guanyin, full of rituals." When you worship Buddha, if you can devote yourself wholeheartedly, the feeling is incredible. Therefore, no matter who reads Buddhism, he must be like a Buddhist. Don't look around. No matter where there is movement and sound, you don't need to mind your own business. Then wholeheartedly when chanting, wholeheartedly when worshipping Buddha, wholeheartedly when offering Buddha, wholeheartedly when chanting Buddha and wholeheartedly when holding the mantra. So we are chanting and holding spells here, and we don't know what sound is next to it, but we get samadhi. You said you didn't get any induction for so many years. How can you feel when you are delusional there?

Therefore, there is no end to practicing many blessings and offering sacrifices to the Buddha, so offering sacrifices to the Buddha is the practice of repairing blessings. We are always willing to seek the merits of the Buddha: we swear to achieve the merits achieved by the Buddha, and we all want to get the merits cultivated by the Buddha. We often make vows and ask sincerely, just like the merits of Buddha. It is this light that enlightened you: you can write many blessings by yourself and support countless buddhas at the same time, which is the same as the merits of buddhas. Because of this, this kind of light can make you enlightened, let you achieve your wishes and fulfill your wishes.
