Buddhist problems

there is no amitabha in the south. Hello, senior. I have written a little too much. I hope you will read it patiently.

(What I said at the end of the lesson is a bit harsh. Please forgive me if I have offended your "master". Advice when most needed is least heeded, I say so much, I just hope you won't be fooled by his Jaken. Amitabha)

After reading your conversation with this Wuxi master, I feel that your knowledge is far higher than this Wuxi master. After reading the dialogue, there is only one feeling, that is, a master is not a master, and mud is not mud. Mud is master, and master is mud. Such a person who doesn't seek separation, talks nonsense about Buddhism and Taoism, misinterprets the sacred meaning, and thinks he is a master. He doesn't even know that there is a Mahayana who has great bodhicitta in front of him and wants to go to the west to become a great bodhisattva, but he humbly gives himself the name "mud". . . It's really upside down to cling to his little bit of evil knowledge that Jaken and you have misunderstood each other there.

Let's discuss one by one. I hope you won't be led astray by this so-called master in the future. It's extremely difficult to have such an understanding and understanding in your conversation. It's a very difficult reason to encounter. Don't lose it.

First of all, you asked him if he would like to go to the western paradise after his death. He replied that he wouldn't go, even if he was a lonely ghost. This is his first big Jaken. The enlightened and enlightened ancestors of the past dynasties all painstakingly advised people to recite Buddha to survive in the west, and even the saints of all buddhas and bodhisattvas praised Amitabha's pure land and carried forward the concept of "being tired of leaving one's concubines and seeking bliss". Why can't it work when I get to this Wuxi master? People who would rather be a ghost than a Buddha, such knowledge and such instigation, are not cutting off the good roots of others at the same time. You are willing to go to the west to become a Buddha, and he is willing to be a ghost in his mother-in-law. Such a huge difference between heaven and earth, he actually speaks eloquently, which shows how stupid he is! If all ghosts and ghosts can do it, then why didn't Sakyamuni Buddha say, "Don't be persistent, we don't need to go to the western paradise, we just need to be wild ghosts." Buddha didn't say so. If he studied Buddhism, he would have to follow the Buddha's advice. If he wanted to tell the Buddha the opposite, would his knowledge be higher than the Buddha's? He is still a karmic mortal! Buddha still advised people to survive in the west, but he was kind enough to give you a sentence, "wandering souls in the world also have fun." . . . Yes, wandering souls may indeed have fun, just like pigs in a pigsty, and they also feel that rolling in the mud is fun; The maggots in the toilet also think it is fun to eat dung in the foul smell, but they don't know that being a heaven and man will be ten thousand times happier than being a beast. It's like the master of Wuxi doesn't know how happy the western bliss is, but only knows the pleasure of wandering souls, which is really very sad.

"color, food, are illusory, dispensable, colorless, but lonely, without food, but become wandering souls, happy-go-lucky, since there is". . . This is Master Wuxi's second big Jaken. Talking nonsense and misinterpreting the emptiness of Prajna. This is indeed all illusory. The Diamond Sutra says: All phases are illusory. However, if you don't thoroughly prove your true heart, people who are enlightened and confused must never say that everything is empty. Because when he said this sentence, he was still persistent. If he pretends that everything is empty and pretends to be illusory, it is self-righteous, and the oral Zen has never proved the actual Prajna emptiness. He will say that his heart is actually ignorant. What is ignorance? Ignorance is all darkness, and there is no light at all, just like he is full of Jaken and can't see you persuading him to survive in the West. Ignorance! It is absolutely impossible for a wandering soul to be as happy as he said. Everything in this world will flow with the industry because of the cause and effect of past creations. This is the root of the reincarnation of karma, and no one can be happy-go-lucky. If you go to hell, how can Master Wuxi be happy-go-lucky? Being a wandering soul for a long time, if you become a pig to be slaughtered because of the evil reasons created in the past, how can you live with it? If the existence is really as "reasonable" as he understands, then there are so many scriptures in the west that the Buddha told him to die. Why is it unreasonable for him to die, but he insists on being a wandering soul, which is reasonable for him to be a wandering soul? Or is it reasonable for Buddhists to go to the West to become Buddhists? These two principles exist, one is the fallacy of evil ordinary people, and the other is the truth of buddhas and bodhisattvas, which is reasonable? It's not hard to tell.

"To be enlightened in this life is this life, and the afterlife is chaos, and the afterlife is the afterlife. It's just a matter of when and how to brush it away. Even after death, there will always be a time of clarity.". . . How to realize in this life? In the late French era, enlightened people were few and far between, while degenerate people were like the sand of the Ganges River. . . To realize, we must break away from seeing confusion, thinking confusion, short ignorance confusion, and dust and sand confusion. . . . See confused eighty-eight, confused eighty-one, ok? Seeing confusion is like cutting off a torrent of forty miles! Master Wuxi, do you have the heart and spirit to cut off the forty-mile torrent in an instant? Even if you have lost all your thoughts and doubts, then you still have doubts and doubts. There is still a product of this kind of bodhisattva that has not been broken, not to mention our sinful ordinary people. If we don't take advantage of the Buddha's power, we will go to the West first. How can we realize it in this world of women with five connotations, in the era of last law? Even if you realize it, the mystery of the yin will make you rob and sink forever, and the road to reincarnation will never come out. This sentence "There will always be a clear day" is not as simple as talking about it! Although the Buddha said that all living beings have Buddha nature and can become Buddhas, they never let everyone give up on themselves and seek liberation without making progress. If it is true, what is there to practice? Why do you keep the precepts? What are you doing chanting Buddha? It's better to lead a drunken life every day. But is this okay? The Buddha was afraid of us, so he talked about so many ways to get rid of it. He just didn't learn it, but he thought it was okay after death. This sentence is easy to say. If you only know how painful it is after death, it will be too late to regret it! !

"To live in bliss, to live in bliss, no matter how great one's merits are, it's just to live in bliss. If you can get everyone through a thousand generations of reincarnation, then your merits will rise. " . . This sentence completely shows his mistake of not reading classics and understanding economics. To die in bliss is the achievement of the rewards of the tired robbery. Once you die in the west, you will be broken, and you will be extraordinary, and you will be free from death, crossing the three realms, and you will be able to prove Bodhi quickly. . . . Such merits are definitely not measurable by the efforts of ordinary people in our world. If only one person goes to the west, there will definitely be an arhat, a bodhisattva or a Buddha! If you don't give birth to the west, you will definitely be a beast, a hungry ghost and a hell! Also spend everyone? I'm holding a copper pillar in hell, how can I survive everyone? If the industry is not finished, how can the merits rise? Only when you are born in the west early and prove that you will not retreat, can your merits be undiminished and a rising tide lifts all boats. Once, a layman said to the 13th ancestor of the Pure Land Sect: I would like to be a human being in this world forever. The founder replied: Your ambition is too inferior!

alas. . I have written too many words. . . I don't want to list the evil opinions of this Wuxi master any more because I care about your eyesight. I hope what I have written above will help you to recognize right and wrong. . . Finally, you ask a question: if you want to become a Buddha blindly, is it persistent? Then, is it also a kind of persistence to blindly want to go to the western paradise? . . . I'll discuss this problem with you at the end of the school.

I suggest that you don't solve the pure land mechanically from the perspective of solving emptiness. Let me give you a very simple example. Dozens of classics, such as Amitabha Sutra, Infinite Life Sutra, Prabhadra Prayer, and so on, all record the solemn and extraordinary victory of the western paradise, and exhort everyone to recite Buddha and survive as a Buddhist country. However, the Diamond Sutra, which is also a Mahayana classic, says: All phases are illusory; Everything is like a dream. . . . Therefore, many people say that since the Diamond Sutra says that all phases are illusory and inner illusions, the western paradise is also an illusory illusion, an illusion, and chanting Buddha is also persistent. . . Therefore, "there is no Buddha to read and no soil to seek." . . If this is the idea, it is all wet.

let's take the diamond sutra as an example. The wonderful meaning of the Diamond Sutra is to start with emptiness and sweep away all the pictures in your heart. And chanting Buddhism, from the beginning, tells that there is a paradise, and exhorts everyone to make a wish to die. Here is to mention: true and vulgar two truths. What is the true meaning? Without setting up a dust (such as the Diamond Sutra), I will tell you directly that everything is empty, and everything is made by my own persistence and heart. . . But not everyone has such a high root, and we can immediately understand this truth. So there is a vulgar truth. What is vulgar truth? Build everything. That is to say, pure land is a course of chanting Buddha. Starting from the real pure land in the West, we can create a pure land phase for all living beings who like to photograph, but this phase is by no means a karmic phase in ordinary people's hearts, but a Buddhist state after the Buddhist monk was alive in front of the king Buddha, with his desire to be pure and compassionate, plus the merits of being robbed! At that time, he made a vow to achieve such a paradise to attract all beings, and he became a Buddha. Now that he has become a Buddha, 1 robberies, his paradise is real.

this kind of existence is the beauty of the Buddha's vacuum realm. . . If you want to say that he has, the Buddha is not attached to all things, and the Buddha has no separation, and does not distinguish between existence and non-existence. If you want to say that he didn't, it is really the merit of the Buddha. . . . . Therefore, it is called: wonderful, it is no different from the vacuum realm of Buddha, just two sides of one body. Also known as: the first righteous and wonderful realm. Because we are too stupid to let go of our persistence, we can only think of this wonderful thing that is the same as vacuum at ordinary times. At the same time, by virtue of this karma, we have joined the Buddha's dharma body and the Tathagata's reality, so it is also called: pointing to the side, living with the side to prove the fruit. It is pointed out that all kinds of purity and kindness in the west are true to the solemn phase, so that the hearts of all beings can live on it and always remember it. What is proved is the fruit of reality, not the inner persistence. Seemingly contradictory, it is actually one. Master Yin Guangda, the thirteenth ancestor of Jingzong, said: "(chanting Buddha) is the birth and death of the dust with his back, and it is the birth and death of the dust with his back." In order to prove that the immortality is as true as Buddha's nature. "

The subtle meaning of chanting Buddha in pure land can only be understood by Buddha and Buddha. Is it that ordinary people like us can measure their minds? When the Buddha was talking about the Amitabha Sutra, he asked the wise first venerable Sharifutsu, why did the West have such solemnity? Sharifutsu can't even make it. Even the Buddha's top ten disciples, the most intelligent venerable, are speechless, which is even worse for us.

So you insist on chanting Buddha, doing all kinds of evil, doing all kinds of good, truly believing and earnestly wishing. When you die, you will be led by Buddha and die in the West. There is no need for enlightenment, and there will be no reincarnation. But remember, after you go, you must come back to cross this Wuxi wandering soul. . . You should read more works of your ancestors. After all, most of them are enlightened and fruitful monks. With their works, why should you associate with Wuxi wandering souls? )

Finally, I wish my senior brother an early career, and Lianchi Sea Club! Namo Amitābha
