If you can understand your own truth, truth is the reason for becoming a Buddha. Asking for Buddha without asking for anything else is an idiot. What does this poem mean?

The meaning of this poem is: if you can understand that your truth is the cause and effect of becoming a Buddha, wouldn't it be a big idiot to ask for Buddha instead of yourself? This is a Buddhist proverb that warns people not to blindly pursue what they can't get. Only by looking back at your heart and knowing yourself can you practice Tao and understand the true meaning of life.

In Buddha's view, a person's pure and beautiful mind is Buddha nature, so that he can truly understand Buddha and life. Therefore, a true practitioner should examine himself and practice from himself, instead of saving the Buddha's protection and help under the guise of foreign things, so as to achieve enlightenment and become a Buddha, which is beneficial to practice. It is also the reason why people are obsessed.

Buddhism has existed for more than 2500 years since Sakyamuni gave lectures. During this long time, various Buddhist theories and practice methods have been passed down through the words and deeds between teachers and apprentices, as well as the Buddhist classics formed in the process. On the other hand, Buddhist art has also played a vital role in helping Buddhist teachings spread more effectively.

Buddhism attaches importance to the progress and consciousness of human mind and morality.
