Bhikkhu Dade, a truly accomplished person, does not attract all beings with magical powers.

Some people will think that it is wrong for monk Dade to test people without magical powers, and even say that it is not that he doesn't want to test people with magical powers, but that he has no magical powers at all. Some people think that Buddhist examples of magical powers abound in the classics, and it is in line with the precepts to affirm that magical powers are used by many people. Therefore, according to the size of magical powers, it is cast into a criterion for those who are interested in learning Buddhism to choose teachers. In fact! (1) Avatar is just a by-product of learning Buddhism, not the main goal. Both bhikkhu and Dade understand the greed, anger, stupidity and slowness of all beings in the last law ... The five poisons are strong, and the magical power shows the public. Not only can it not help the public to practice successfully, but it will plant the evil consequences of giving up Buddhism and Taoism to achieve Taoism because of the novelty of Taoism. Although people who pursue supernatural power will still defend themselves: learning Buddhism means cultivating the mind ... I don't know that once the consciousness of supernatural power is planted in the field of knowledge, it will unconsciously develop a specious Jaken over time! Therefore, when the Buddha was alive, he often warned his disciples not to show their spirits in front of laymen, so as not to confuse the purpose of learning Buddha. The venerable "Bintou Rupolo Duo" once played a special magic trick to let outsiders know the endless Buddhism-jumping up and taking down the golden bowl. As a result, the Buddha did not praise him, but asked him to act as the 16 arhats and stay in the world for a long time to atone. (2) Avatar can't resist karma. In other words, despite my miraculous powers, I still can't jump out of the net of reincarnation. In the past, when the Buddha was alive, some heretics knew that their lives would end and hid in space with their magical powers. As a result, when the time came, they still fell dead. (3) Avatar is not omnipotent, and it may not be able to help all beings and their own sufferings. As recorded in the Orchid Sutra, Mu Jianlian, despite her magical powers, could only watch the food her mother was about to put into her mouth turn into charcoal. And I can't escape being stoned to death. From the above, we should be able to understand why truly accomplished people do not attract supernatural beings, and why; However, we may still be puzzled and even have contradictory doubts about the classic Buddha's use of magical powers. In fact, as long as we discuss it carefully, we can know that all the objects revealed by Buddhist magical powers in the classics are deeply rooted and have sufficient causes, and they can be guided, inspired, taught, urged and even realized by Buddhist magical powers. On the other hand, which pursuer of supernatural power of all beings in the last law was cleansed and freed because of the appearance of supernatural power of his master? On the contrary, because of the misleading of the avatar, will you unconsciously insist on seeking induction, seeing the light, smelling incense or practicing skillfully? This division must be known to those who are interested in learning Buddhism! In short, it is by no means the true doctrine of Buddhism to talk about supernatural telepathy at every turn. Buddhists should stay away as soon as possible, otherwise' it is easy to ask God, but difficult to send God' will fall into the magic road and regret it! Note: most people may still have such questions. Can't believers have more confidence in performing' magical powers' and' abilities'? ※? The answer is: when illiterate believers see this kind of performance, their confidence may increase, but only on the surface. Because the self-confidence born by these people is not because they fully understand the truth, they are easy to follow blindly, practice blindly, and are more likely to cling to foreign feelings and hallucinations, so it is dangerous. Therefore, the Buddha hopes that people only believe in the power of reason, not magical power and miracle. Therefore, the Buddha advised disciples not to use this power to guide those with poor qualifications, so as not to lead the blind and push them into the fire pit. Note: If you show magical powers to people, but demons will also show magical powers, how can you tell whether it is a Buddha or a demon? Therefore, there are advantages and disadvantages in showing your magical powers, so you should be cautious. Huang Nianzu's Miscellaneous Talks on a Visit to the United States is a wonderful revelation about whether you can show people your magical power. ) About other articles
