As a native of Shanghai, it is not as good as Shuibei Village, but there is a famous temple near my home, Longhua Temple. Peach blossoms, flowing water, pagodas, ancient temples, the scenery of small towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and the land of geomantic omen. ...
When I was a child, I was destined to become attached to the great monk of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, I crossed a river from home, climbed a fence and arrived at the back garden of Longhua Temple. I didn't need tickets at that time, so the monk gave me a candy and a banana. This age when malt extract was adjusted is definitely a big family.
This kind of temptation is definitely the best fate for a child every day.
Lao Wang's family, a scholarly family, is a famous family of stone seal cutting calligraphy and painting in the south of the Yangtze River. Growing up, I didn't have toys, so my parents made me sit in a wooden bucket and tear up a stack of newspapers.
Maybe since I was one year old, I have been tearing while watching, but I still know many words behind. It's really a strange talent, and reading Buddhist scriptures is different.
Master Mingyun, then vice president of the National Buddhist Association, may think that there is an embarrassing word in my name, which belongs to sunny days and most people can't understand it. He simply touched my head and said, "This child is blessed with Buddha."
That's right. That's why I've always been close to Buddha and Bodhisattva.
It was not until Master Xiao Tian was enlightened that he finally converted to the Three Treasures and believed in benevolence and righteousness. Maruko, poem, is the name given by the master. It seems that this child is also predestined friends with Buddha.
Buddhism believes in becoming a Buddha on the spot, everyone can become a Buddha, and everyone has a Buddhist fate.
Feel at ease and make friends. In a sense, writing an article is giving alms in Buddhism and spreading the merits of Buddhism.
Maruko visits Buddhist temples every time he travels. From small to large, monks are methodical and respectful. The most important thing is that he has a kind heart of Buddha and Bodhisattva. Every time he meets the old, the weak and the sick, he will take care of him and do it himself. ...
Believe it or not, Buddha is at ease, so that children have a kind heart and feelings of love, which may be the power of Buddhism.
I am not party member, but I firmly believe in the Party and support its leadership, which does not conflict with my religious beliefs and is an inevitable choice for modern China society.
I remember one year, my aunt at Maruko's mother's house was playing with me in western Zhejiang. The old lady is nearly 90 years old and is a Christian. I refused to go at first, so I guess it should be related to Sunday. So she went to the church and told her that she would definitely go to the church. The old lady set off happily together. ...
On Sunday, a small village church, the only foreign American, looked a little special.
The worship of the villagers is different from ours.
They sang a passage as they talked. The old lady usually stays in Shanghai for an hour. After singing here for more than three hours, she didn't even have a chance to go to the toilet.
It's watertight. I can't get a word in. One song is connected with another, and the chorus is connected with the chorus. It may also be deliberately displayed in front of us outsiders. This song is loud and powerful. ...
For three and a half hours, I resisted the great pressure of the prostate and sang one song after another with the old lady, thinking that the Buddha was tolerant and would not blame me, haha. ......
People who study Buddhism are calm and tolerant, which is the truth of being a man and the great wisdom of life.
A few days ago, I wrote a preface to Brother Tathagata's new book "Shurangama Sutra Story", which I just copied:
Shurangama Sutra is an extremely important Buddhist classic.
It can be said that it is a complete book of practice, which transcends the purity and secret method of Zen, and plays in a balanced way, each with its own place. For initiation, interpretation, action, proof and enlightenment, it is a detailed analysis of enlightenment, breaking doubts and seeing the truth, seeing the essence clearly, breaking demons and removing obstacles, and believing in positive solutions. It is a kind of good karma for Buddhist disciples to get rid of the Tao and practice the Supreme Bodhi Sutra quickly.
Ordinary people only talk about learning Buddhism, paying homage, releasing people, copying scriptures and so on. But why do they want to learn Buddhism? What are its fundamental interests? How can we know what is right, see what is right and correct what we realize?
It can be said that learning Buddhism is not meaningless and aimless, but in order to obtain a noble and satisfactory result, so that you can deeply understand the fundamental interests of learning Buddhism, and then feel that you must learn Buddhism.
With all kinds of strong beliefs, we can really move towards the road of learning Buddhism, rather than just staying on the edge of Buddhism or going astray. The Shurangama Sutra was handed down by the Buddha himself. After eighteen years of worship, the wise man recited the Tibetan scriptures, realized the Tao, realized it and was blessed by the Buddha.
Where does the vast world go? A western philosopher has a wonderful metaphor for this vast life. He said:
What have you got in this life? When many people reach middle age, they often have a feeling about their busy life. They really worked hard to get high officials, wealth, status and knowledge, but they soon lost them. It seems that everything is in vain and nothing is achieved.
More elderly people have a particularly profound experience. For example, when their children are young, they follow them. When they grow up, they will seek their own independent life.
Many people are pessimistic, depressed and decadent because of this, but Buddhism is not the case. It frees us from pain and allows us to see nature clearly. "All meditation is free from samadhi, and the avatar's satisfaction does not hinder wisdom. It is all taken in the first Shurangama Sutra."
What's the point of doing good? China people's concept of doing good deeds is mostly based on family. Father is kind and filial, and brothers and friends respect each other. "If there is a good family, there must be Qing Yu." "Bodhisattva lives in the former Samadha, giving without seeking wealth. All the treasures, food, clothes, horses, cars, etc. On earth, the sea, the heavenly palace and the earth are all given free of charge;
This is all because of this merit, the situation is caused by divine power at will, and it is the result of the meditation ability of the famous bodhisattva at the beginning of her life. "Learning Buddha only breeds good deeds. Maybe what we are facing at present is disadvantage and confusion, but when the charity matures in the future, we will naturally feel happy and good. This is in line with the spirit of Buddhism.
Learning Buddhism is a state of life. I don't know, but I feel that it affects our daily life, food, clothing, housing and transportation, emotions; Learning Buddhism can open up the mind, enlighten wisdom, cultivate one's morality and improve oneself; Learning Buddhism can teach us to live in harmony with others, be indifferent and comfortable, be equal in life and be happy and comfortable.
The Story of Leng Yan, a cup of tea, sitting quietly, meditating quietly, living under the age of 20, enlightened and conscious.
Being predestined friends with Buddha is actually our deep consciousness. This universal wisdom does not conform to the coach's philosophy.
Every coaching tool we show next will eventually succeed, both complete and comfortable. ...
