Mr. Nan Huai Jin talks about sex and faith.
A belief has an object of worship and his thoughts and opinions. The same is true of religious beliefs. He will naturally worship, admire and admire the leaders he worships, thus creating a religious atmosphere and making the spirit tenacious and sublimated. Some religions only pray and do not advocate idolatry. Buddhism advocates worshipping Buddha and bodhisattva icons, which of course has a deep philosophical meaning.
Peter said that after the death of the Buddha, future generations did not see the real Buddha. At that time, because the king missed the Buddha one day, he made a Buddha statue out of sandalwood, which was regarded as the real Buddha's support and started the Buddha statue, which brought the need for future generations to remember. "Jue Yuan Jing" said: "If you recover, build an image, polish your eyes, live a normal life, and live with the Tathagata." Therefore, today's Buddhist disciples all use Buddha statues to worship, support and meditate. The Buddhist scripture says, "When you worship the Buddha, sin destroys the river sand." In the classics, Buddhists often praise the merits and interests of offering and supporting Buddha statues, so Buddhists have always followed them.
Why do you say that worshipping Buddha is like merit induction or something? People's trip to Buddhism and Taoism is likely to be realized by certificates. After practicing one place at a time, they have entered the great light hiding place of eternal life and nirvana. Therefore, in the one-by-one worship, the Buddha's light shines and the darkness goes to darkness; What are the obstacles to the transformation of bad karma into bad karma? Buddha shows light, and karma shows darkness. To worship Buddha is to absorb the Buddha's light and break the darkness of one's karma. For example, a candle can break the darkness of a room, and the Buddha's light shines everywhere, leaving no room for darkness. I can't understand the noble merits of the Buddha, the common people in the world and all kinds of heresies.
The yogi meditates, or meditates, or recites Buddha, or holds a mantra for a long time. When he gets up, he passes through the scriptures or worships Buddha, throwing his body underground, and the annual rings are tortuous. Even the spine is bone, which is traction and stretching, which is equivalent to exercise; A way to keep quiet by moving. Focus on your heart when you are still, adjust your body when you are exercising, and never be biased. Pedestrians can be calm in silence and calm in action. It is also a test of whether they can concentrate on the same thing when they worship Buddha, which is conducive to the adjustment of body and mind.
Thirdly, the Buddha statue is thirty-two phases and eighty shapes. If the walker worships, he only sees that the Buddha statue is intact and his heart is strictly decorated, so there is no difference. At this moment, in the face of the Buddha statue, my heart is picturesque, and where will you go can't afford it. My heart is Buddha, my heart is Buddha. I am the Buddha, and the Buddha is me. Why? Our hearts are full of Tathagata virtues. Because there is no thought at all, the delusion is reversed, the evil is different, and the self-nature Buddha is hidden. Today, worshipping Buddha, observing Buddha and reciting Buddha in one mind are intrinsically triggered by imaginary Buddha and intertwined with the original freely possessed Buddha. One is integrated with the other, and the Buddha is no different from me. If we have worshipped, seen and recalled the Buddha, from this moment on, our hearts will follow the method of death and look at all beings, whether they are affectionate or affectionate. If you leave the image of the Buddha, if you open your eyes, if you close your eyes, if you remember it, if you don't remember it, the image of the Buddha will appear, clear and bright, with enough Tathagata virtues, and now it is the Buddha; Or look at the traffic like a lotus, and look at the men and women in the street like bodhisattvas who clean the sea. At this time, practice is round, and it is a play to worship Buddha or not. Therefore, worshipping Buddha is the best way to enter the clean sea. We ordinary people still have delusions when we worship Buddha, let alone open our eyes and close our eyes. Or regard horses and chariots as lotus flowers and all beings as bodhisattvas, which shows how difficult it is to learn Buddhism and practice!
Bodhisattva samantabhadra made ten vows, called the Ten Wishes King. Those who practiced Bodhisattva in the past, present and future have achieved the supreme Bodhisattva according to the Ten Wishes King, which shows that their skill in practicing Bodhisattva is profound and enduring. Among the ten wishes, the first one is "respecting Buddha". In Hua Yan Pu Jingxian's Last Wish, the role of respecting Buddha is explained in detail. Buddha is the teacher of man and heaven. Although he has the highest imagination of the colorless world, even the heavens, immortals, Brahma, emperors, Buddhists and nonhuman people have to worship Buddha, which shows that there must be great benefits in worshipping Buddha. In front of all kinds of Buddha statues, we worship and become more pious, such as looking solemn and solemn, like a Buddha coming in person, and we should benefit from this idea. Manjusri's great wisdom is given to Buddha, which is recorded as follows. It's hard to think about how to benefit from the gift to Buddha. Luo said, "It's incredible to feel the friendship of being empty for the ceremony. My Dojo is like a bead, and ten Tathagata come. My figure is the same as before, and my mind is full of rituals. " So worship, so treat; When you worship Buddha, you just want to bow your head; When I was watching, I stayed in one place. The Buddhas who watched the subject and the object all went into the sea of wisdom, and turned from him, treated them absolutely, and the subject and the object were the same. In this empty photo, the origin of travel is suddenly clear, and the solemn Dojo is like an Indra bead, empty. On each orb, ten buddhas sit on the lotus platform, magnifying the light to make the buddhas shine. Re-examining your own transformation is equivalent to becoming a Buddha, one after another, one after another, before the Tathagata. If you worship Buddha, you can worship Buddha for the directors, and your merits are boundless.
When I worship Buddha, I just want to feel inferior, because others laugh; What's more, if I don't bow, I lose its benefits. You know, I am a Buddha, and I bow to the Buddha, and the Buddha practices utensils. I should not be treated by others, but should observe and worship in Buddhism, visit the dharma circle and pay tribute to the buddhas in ten ways. I want to think more, not at this time, I want to pay tribute to the buddhas, and I want to pay tribute to the buddhas in the future. If you look at it, I am a true Buddha, and it is difficult to declare my merits and demerits.
Some people talk nonsense about worshipping Buddha and Bodhisattva, and dare not look up at all. This is an unknown legal principle. As mentioned above, it is good to look at the Buddha and be a Buddha by yourself, and it is said in "Viewing Ideas" that practitioners are ready in an instant as long as they look at the white face of the Buddha, and countless sins are eliminated. From this, it can be seen that watching Buddha practice has benefited a lot. Or if you worship ghosts and gods, you are too scared to look around, because God still has me, which outsiders rely on, and Buddhist disciples can't follow suit. You know, when worshipping Buddha and watching Buddha, one mind is clean, one mind is clean, and the pure land is exposed; It can be seen that worshipping Buddha is like deep merit.
As I have outlined before, this paragraph points out that all aspects contain sex. Although the aspect of Buddhism is like this, it is better to be affectionate and heartless. Ordinary people don't worship sex, and saints don't worship sex. Ordinary people do not worship their hearts, while saints do not worship their bodies. Only the great wise men worship but not worship, worship but not worship, body and mind are the same, and sex is the same. Therefore, if you worship according to the image of the Buddha, you will learn from the inner nature of the Buddha. If I achieve the inner nature of the Buddha, then I will have enough external image of the Buddha. All foreign ministers are praise of internality, and all internality is a hint of foreign affairs. This ordinary man worships the Buddha, which is exactly how to practice. If a yogi worships Buddha and becomes one with his own nature, he will suddenly become one with me. When there is no difference, he will be beautiful. That "mountains and rivers are nothing more than dharma bodies, and bamboo and yellow flowers are all prajna"; Being neutral here, worshiping and not worshiping, has become a play theory!
