-"Wen Chao Fu Gao Shaolin Shu San"
Our belief in this idea is that we can feel, and the great sorrow of Amitabha is that we can respond. What are the criteria of faith and desire in order to communicate with Buddha? This passage tells its "quantity".
"When the hair and beard determine the heart, the dying will decide to live in the West. This sentence shows that faith and will must reach the heart of determination. What is determination? Yinzu explained that "I will go to the Western Heaven even if I die", which means that all my efforts in this life are only to achieve one goal. Why should I worship Buddha? Why do you keep the precepts? Why should we promote Buddhism? Why repent of karma and accumulate funds? It means "live in the west even if you die", which is a goal. When I died, I decided to live in heaven, but I didn't hesitate at all. Some people's mood, that is, death or immortality, is not a decisive mood, so there is no way to induce Tao Jiao. Therefore, this pure land method must be centered.
This decision is to tell us what it looks like again and make us more clear. Look at the second paragraph. "Don't talk about mediocrity, don't want to suffer more; That is to say, when you become a monk, you will get a great master when you hear a thousand things at a time, and you will be enlightened. Monks of all beings will also regard it as poison and decide not to accept it. 」
The so-called determination does not mean that this mediocre person, an ordinary person, is experiencing birth and death. We don't want to suffer, even if you are a king, you can be a king in your next life, be a wheel saint king, receive four generations, and get seven treasures, or let you be a king, a heavenly king, and a Brahma heavenly king. Or you can say that I am not happy about the splendor of this world. I have had all kinds of troubles.
Becoming a monk for you, this monk, is not an ordinary monk. Look, "when you hear a thousand things, you will get a big total." Among the merits of self-interest, there is such a realm. "If you smell a thousand things, you will get a big sum." With meditation, Dalagni, meditation and wisdom in your heart, you can get such great self-serving merits. In the aspect of altruism, "Great Buddhism benefits all beings". You promote Buddhism, and many families come to listen to you. You have a good relationship to promote Buddhism, and you have this self-serving and altruistic "monk body". "I also regarded it as a kind of poisonous tea, and I decided not to have the desire to receive it." I should also regard this "monk body" as a kind of poisonous tea. This kind of tea is poisonous. In this paper, it means poison, which is considered as poison and the root of evil.
Because of the three realms, we ordinary people still have the heart of escaping from the net, and it is difficult to resist not committing the crime of the three realms. The karma of the three realms is easy to produce a sin, and this kind of body and mind is the root of sin, so "I decided not to have a mind to accept it." 」
This "monk, who has heard a thousand stories, has a great support, a great dharma, and has become a monk of all beings." "I've heard a lot about the lay man, and that's his mood. He said to me: alas! Master, I'm really upset at home. You must become a monk in your next life. I thought to myself: You vowed to become a monk in your next life, why didn't you vow to live in Elysium? Is it more thorough? Being a monk may not be free. The cause of becoming a monk is good, but there are still many evil reasons. As long as the results of the three realms are painful, there are all kinds of reasons to turn back, and we hate the decisions of the three realms.
There is a case-solving in the Record of Pure Land Sages. It tells the story of a mage named monk-Tibetan mage. He practices asceticism and usually works for mass teachers. "Pure Land Sage Record" mentioned that this person is very special, he works hard and is not simple. Generally speaking, we are easy to work hard and complain. You do a lot of work and can't stand criticism. He's not. He works hard and complains. He reads Mahayana classics in the evening and then reads Buddhism. He has been practicing like this for some time.
At the end of his life, his kind of merits, cultivating happiness and wisdom, cultivating happiness and wisdom, at the end of his life, there are six desires to pick him up every day. At first, in front of the four heavenly kings, at last, the feat of greed for heaven and nocturnal behavior took advantage of heaven, turning Lotte into freedom and turning him into freedom, which was a unique victory. As a result, his heart did not waver. "This is not what I want!" ! After he was indifferent to the six desires, the six desires disappeared for the second time, and finally Amitabha appeared. He was loyal, was induced to make friends with Amitabha, and died in Elysium.
There is a comment from Goodall at the back of this story, saying: At the end of my life, my mind is so scattered and my six desires are so extraordinary that I can be firm. Look at that! We didn't see the kingdom of heaven that we didn't know. In theory, the heaven and man with six desires for heaven cut off a nail, and the seven treasures of the world put together are not as valuable as one of his nails. Our nails were cut off and thrown away as garbage. Heaven's karma is this realm. He cut off a nail and put the seven treasures of the three thousand worlds together, which is not as good as his nail, showing the extraordinary victory of karma. But the book doesn't say he's a saint. I believe that the mage in the story is still an ordinary person. Faced with such an abnormal state, he was not tempted. It's not easy.
Therefore, we should pay attention to that when we are dying, sometimes Amitabha is right there. Of course, it is to worship the three treasures, which is the best. However, sometimes we also observe precepts and practice blessings. What should we do if the Yin body appears in front of us? What do you think? Can you resist this temptation? Goode said at the end of his life: If the shadow exists, let it go. As long as you make a mistake, you will be reborn, "I'll do it again". Without opportunity, your thoughts and actions are equivalent to contact with the world of desire. Without a chance to think, without a second chance, failure is failure.
Therefore, this "determination" is not easy. Therefore, we usually have to plan ahead and make a choice. You tell yourself: desire is painful, not only the three evils are bitter, but also the heaven is bitter. Why? Impermanence is bitter, impermanence is rotten, so have a sweet dream. And the result? I fell down and started over. After decades of hard work, I ate a candy, which was very sweet. After eating, there is nothing, right? As Master Yin Guang said, if you study Buddhism for one day, you will get a reward, and you will get a king's reward, that is, you will exchange this Mani pearl for candy. You got the mani orb, you had everything you wanted, you went to Elysium, and you didn't return to Aunt Doro's three virtues and three bodhis. Your life during that time decided to become a Buddha.
After becoming a Buddha, there is supreme bodhi, of course, you should be comfortable. Buddha is the king of France, and you are in the law. With the merits of the Buddha, you can always enjoy yourself. He benefited from it. He appeared in the ten-party dharma circle. There are thousands of rivers, thousands of rivers and the moon. Which sentient beings are destined for you? You should be in good health now. What can you say to get rid of them now? This supreme bodhi is like a mani orb. It has everything it wants, and it is unchangeable.
Therefore, in our hearts, we must make a choice in advance. Heaven is impermanent, and this happiness is impermanent, not our refuge. Therefore, treat the realm of kings, kings and even exorcists as if they were poisonous and guilty, and decide not to have the desire to suffer. We should pay attention to this place. We have enough faith and desire to this extent and decide not to have the desire to suffer.
"Decided, you can feel the Buddha if you believe it, and you can feel the Buddha if you do it; Buddha's vows can only be taken. Inducing Daojiao, receiving Buddha's blessing, going straight to the ninth grade, eternal reincarnation! 」
As soon as we read our vows, we can feel the Buddha, feel the Buddha's mercy, and be absorbed. "We can feel the communication of Taoism and be guided by the Buddha." When we go to Elysium, we will leave the karmic cycle of the three realms forever. Yin Zu said that a quantity of faith and will is enough, which is the quantity that determines the heart.
Yin Zu's beliefs and wishes are the corresponding choices of wisdom. By thinking about the Buddha's holy words, we pull out our inner inversion. We always think that five desires are fun, and five desires in heaven are fun. We should break it with the concept of impermanence. The so-called determination heart is the heart that initiates a firm death.
