Master Zong Xian

Born in Pingyang County, Zhejiang Province, he became a monk at the age of 2, lived in Pingxing Temple in Taimushan for more than ten years, and studied the theory of law and Tibetan classics with Jie Quan Master.

Master Zong Xian, deputy supervisor of Pingxing Temple and dean of Law Academy, opened a sangha ceremony for the delegation of Minnan Buddhist College in Yuantong Hall.

Master Zong Xian first described his experience of studying in Pingxing Temple, and became attached to Nanshan Law Course with all teachers and students. Then, according to the tutorial, the master explained in detail the contents, requirements and precautions of Jiexia Anju. During this period, Master Zong Xian also explained the basic content and significance of observing precepts. The mage pointed out that men and women have different roots and troubles, so they have different precepts, so we don't need to be persistent at this point.

at 7: p.m., after the opening ceremony of Master Zong Xian, Jie Quan Master, the abbot of Pingxing Temple, rose to answer questions. According to the monk's questions, the mage answered questions about repentance, enchantment, study, discipline, charity and so on. Jie Quan Master said, whether Mahayana or Hinayana, sect Buddhism or primitive Buddhism, everything is based on faith. The mage stressed that monks should establish a solid Taoist mind, no matter how hard they act, how hard they study Buddhism, and how high their academic qualifications are. Without Taoist mind, everything will be in vain. In the practice of precepts, the mage pointed out that the key to keeping precepts lies in forbearance, forbearance can lead to stability, and only with concentration can we practice better; At the same time, keeping precepts also requires a certain environment. In terms of charity, the mage believes that Buddhist charity is also a kind of charity, but while doing charity, we should also pay attention to guiding our families to understand Buddhism, correctly understand Buddhism and realize the true meaning of charity.

Finally, the Master wishes everyone to be less annoyed and lucky.

At 7: the next morning, all the teachers and students of the delegation took a group photo with Jie Quan Master in front of Puyin Jietan. Subsequently, Master Jie Song, director of the office of Fujian Academy, and others led the delegation to take a leave of absence from Pingxing Temple, bid farewell to Jie Quan Master and return to Xiamen by bus.

Master Zong Xian's article "The Road to Practice is Difficult, But Simple"

Find out the problems you face and turn them over

The road to practice is difficult and simple, which means finding out the problems you face and turning them over. Constantly turn the negative into the positive, your energy will increase geometrically, and your ideological realm will continue to sublimate. Every transformation is a beautiful transformation.

At the beginning of the armed revolution, our party rioted in big cities, but failed one by one. Later, according to the actual situation in China, Mao Zedong succeeded in adopting the mode of "encircling the cities from the countryside" contrary to the Soviet Union. Have we been inspired by this incident? If your enterprise wants to succeed and make a difference, can you find a suitable model and your own development path? Doing business is just like doing revolution, and it is also progressing in constant exploration, so it should be adjusted at any time. Only the goal is correct, there is no correct way to act, the donkey's lips are not right, and the opposite is true. How can it be successful?

we should find the law of why things exist like this. If you find this rule, you can make outstanding achievements in your own industry. Not only do enterprises, in fact, there are many problems in any team. If there are no problems, what should you lead? A company, with different levels of managers, has different abilities, different division of labor and heavy responsibilities, but it is a process of facing, solving and letting go of problems. The significance of a manager's existence is to solve all kinds of problems every day.

In recent days, Mr. Ye has actually kept telling you his thoughts, planting his thoughts into yours, and making the whole group form a joint force, so he keeps explaining, explaining and reinterpreting, in order to make you really understand his thoughts thoroughly. He is bound with you and embarked on a road of pursuing material wealth. Of course, this binding is voluntary, a state, not a derogatory term.

There are thousands of ways to pursue material wealth, and many people are making various attempts. Especially in today's Internet age, we have to change the original thinking mode, keep pace with the times, and keep up with the times, so that we can adapt to the times, seize the opportunities, and do things better and better. The same is true of our Xianghai Temple today. Eight years ago, we used our mobile phones to send short messages, and now we use WeChat, so that people who are in contact with us can receive a little information every day. This is a kind of convenience in the Internet age, but it can be done now. One is everything, and everything is one, constantly extending, copying and spreading. Buddhism calls this concept Indra Net, just like a fishing net and a net rope, and everything is carried away by it. In cyberspace, when you receive useful information, can you keep linking with people around you? Maybe you are facing him alone, but there are more people behind him, and there are countless people behind more people.

△ "All beings have endless vows, troubles are endless, dharma is endless, and Buddhism is endless." This is the four vows that every converted person must make.

The Four Macros vowed to be successful and full of life.

When the material is rich, we will improve our spiritual realm.

In Buddhism, everyone who converts to Buddhism must make four vows: endless vows for all beings, endless vows for troubles, endless vows for learning Buddhism, and supreme vows for Buddhism and Taoism. Why do you say "four macro vows"? Because this wish is very grand, broad and sacred.

From the words "boundless, endless, boundless and supreme", we can see that every Buddhist disciple's mind is boundless, almost empty, and has been integrated with all sentient beings in the dharma world.

when we encounter a problem, the key is not the size of the problem, but the size of our mind. If the heart is big, the problem will be small. If the heart is small, the problem will be big. Some people are in pain when they encounter a little twists and turns, and some people are still laughing and laughing in the face of death. Why? It's like your heart is a water cup. If I take a breath, it will set off ripples. If your heart is a pond, can I take the same breath and still set off ripples? What if it's the sea or the sky?

In the temple, we can see a Buddha with a big belly called Maitreya. There is a couplet next to it: a big belly can accommodate things that are difficult to accommodate in the world; Laugh often, laugh at the ridiculous people in the world. We just need to remember two words in this couplet: smile and tolerance. You have to be tolerant before you laugh, right? People who can tolerate can definitely laugh. So it makes sense for you to see why many hotels offer Maitreya instead of God of Wealth. If we want to be rich, we should first be as generous as Maitreya, and always smile. No matter how big the problem is, we can tolerate, understand and smile, then you will become a god of wealth, that is, a blessed person.

Therefore, even as an ordinary person, the Buddhist "four macro vows" should also study hard. "All beings are boundless", and our relatives, friends, neighbors, employees and compatriots are boundless. We should try our best to measure them, help them, support them and understand them. This is called the boundless vows of all beings.

"endless troubles", that is to say, we are sitting here, but our hearts are constantly playing with delusions, being greedy and stupid, enjoying fame and wealth, and worldly desires are all worried. So many troubles make our hearts restless, restless and clear, so wisdom can't be opened and potential power can't be exerted. Worry binds our body and mind tightly, and we are not free and endless. What should we do? Only by getting rid of the shackles, we have to practice and do things. Doing things is the best practice. Solve your own problems in doing things. Sometimes you don't know that you have problems unless you do things.

It's not so easy for you to manage a team of ten people today. There may be many contradictions at first, and you are difficult to deal with and exhausted. If you constantly improve your methods, stimulate your wisdom, sharpen your temperament, and finally get rid of them, you will be qualified for the job and improve yourself.

Many people think that Buddhism is negative, decadent, out of touch with the world and left the world. However, true Buddhism must be in life, in work and in dealing with people. Buddhism is in the world, and it is inseparable from the world. Life, work, and even everything are regarded as practice. At this time, there is nothing you can't face and solve.

think about it, why can a word from others make us fly into a rage? What we should really reflect on is actually us, instead of blaming others blindly. "We are true practitioners and never see others." When we are suffering, tangled and uncomfortable, our ideological realm is actually too narrow.

People are pursuing happiness without exception, so what is happiness? The way you interpret things determines your happiness. For example, at noon today, you ate a bowl of instant noodles and felt very painful, while a beggar ate instant noodles but felt that he might not be happy. You envy others that they have boots, and others envy you that you have feet. Having feet is not happiness for you, but it is great happiness for others. So if you want to be happy, you have to constantly change your way of thinking.

Worry is bodhi. The more problems there are, the more soil for your promotion and growth. If your family is not harmonious, lovers abandon you, friends betray you, and customers make things difficult for you ... You regard it as good knowledge in your life and your upside. If you can transform, the realm will be higher and the power will be greater. Look at the lotus. The dirtier and stinkier the soil, the more brightly it blooms. This is a kind of transformation, which absorbs all the dirt and turns it into nutrition. As a result, the sludge is not stained, the fragrance is bright, and the breeze is high. What a high realm!

Put this idea into your life, and you will find that nothing can stop you. Therefore, regard life as a process of spiritual practice, and you will not be entangled in any problems and be calm.

There is a word in Buddhism called "One True Dharma Realm". What does it mean? That is, three thousand worlds can be integrated into a meson, which is a tiny thing, such as a grain of dust, which can show the infinite world. Our earth is big enough. It will take you more than twenty hours to fly to America. But when you stand in outer space and look at the earth, how big is it? Like a ping-pong ball. Looking at the earth from the Milky Way is smaller than a grain of dust. If this dust is restored before our eyes, there will be infinite life and infinite creatures in it, and they have all gone through the process of living in a bad space. It's like an ant running on a table. It thinks how vast Yuan Ye it is, just like we are in Mongolian grassland. So are we not such a group of ants? We think ants are small enough, but there are microbes smaller than ants, which are invisible to the naked eye. What is this telling us? The great is infinite, the small is infinite, the heavy is endless, and the endless is heavy. The meson is sumeru, and sumeru is also a meson.

It tells us how to know the universe, the world and the process of our existence. Open the vision, you will thoroughly understand life and truly understand life. Understand this, today you become a billionaire, you won't be frivolous, and tomorrow you won't feel humiliated when you grab something to eat with the dog, because the realm is different.

An American author wrote a book called Conversation with God. We bought many books and gave them away. This is a Christian book. Why should we send it? The author used to be a radio anchor, later founded his own company, then suffered a car accident and failed marriage, and finally became a beggar, grabbing food with dogs in the trash can. Then he wrote his own experience into a book, and after selling well, he gave away a lot of money, and his soul and thoughts reached an unprecedented height.

The author's own vicissitudes of life are a great book, which is worth reading.

So if you really understand the law of the existence of all things in the world, and understand how to live in a bad space and enjoy fame and wealth, you will find that it is actually very simple for people to live in this world. If you don't succeed in starting a business and your company doesn't do well, you can rent a piece of land and support yourself. Is it really that difficult?

infinite vows of dharma. Practice is the method, technology and means to get things done quickly. Buddhism practices 84, teachings, because different people have different opportunities.

Everyone has time to read The Art of War. Don't think that leading troops to fight has nothing to do with being an enterprise. In fact, it's all the same. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and life is also a battlefield. You should learn even if you don't do business, which can increase our wisdom. I once recommended a book called Su Shu, what is Su Shu, and the learning of Emperor Bole. The learning of emperor Bole is to implant the law of the existence of all things in heaven and earth into the study of ruling, then your empire can become strong, prosperous and enduring for a long time. When we do things, have we ever thought about implanting this law of heaven and earth into my career? If you can do it, then your career can be long-term, including our physical health, inner happiness and family business, all in the same way. In fact, everything has its own side, mainly because your thoughts have not been consistent with it.

when we look at the cherry blossoms outside the window, they all bloom as soon as the season arrives, and the leaves burst into new green. Where do the flowers and leaves come from in spring? From the winter hiding. By the same token, if we want to listen to the class well during the day, we should have a good rest at night. If we don't sleep well at night, where can we get the energy during the day? There is sweet-scented osmanthus, which smells very fragrant. It only blooms once a season, so it is very prosperous. But there is a kind of osmanthus fragrans, which blooms every season. Basically, there are not many flowers in this season, and the flowers are not very fragrant. The same is true.

△ Because of the hidden winter, when spring comes, we have green leaves and flowers.

Nature is man's best teacher, and man's greatest wisdom is to be natural. Those who think about transforming nature every day are finally transformed by nature.

finally, Buddhism and Taoism have made the utmost vows. That is, each of us should have our own ideal, goal and direction of achievement. The so-called Buddhism and Taoism refers to the realm of "perfect ideal" in each of us. Everyone has a different way of living and understanding, so the result of achieving perfection is different.

In fact, there is a Buddha in each of us, and that is our original "Buddha nature". We constantly practice and revise ourselves, but it is just a process of restoring our Buddha nature. The so-called perfection is that we have never lost it.

Buddhist thought is the ultimate wisdom in this world. We can really benefit from this wisdom by injecting it into our life.

May we pursue material wealth as well as spiritual wealth, and the two go hand in hand, complement each other and enhance our life realm.
