Clear heart!

Hello! Let's share some inspirations!

Amitabha!

Six ancestors said that it is not difficult to die in the western paradise, as long as you have a clean heart. Actually, it's very difficult. Who can say that his heart is pure? Therefore, it is difficult to live in the "western paradise" only by chanting Buddha and holding spells.

The sixth ancestor said that "Buddha's life is hard to go", but it is hard to go to "western paradise" with a bad heart. As long as you turn your heart into a kind heart and a clean heart, it is not difficult to reach the Buddha country.

Practicing in this world today, the place where I live is equal to the Heavenly Palace, the palace in the sky; The clothes I wear are equal to the sky clothes; The world I see is equal to the pure land of Buddhism; Everyone I see is a Buddha and Bodhisattva.

As the sixth ancestor said, "the heart is clean", there is nothing unclean; The heart is not clean, and it is filthy everywhere.

The Six Ancestors Tanjing says, "I made you an oriental, but I was innocent and pure. Although westerners, their hearts are not clean, they are also full of worries. People in the east commit crimes, while people in the west read Buddha for survival; Man-made disasters in the west, where do you live when you read Buddha? Any stupid person can't understand his own nature, and he doesn't know the pure land in himself. He is willing to go to the east and the west. Realizing that people are ordinary, the Buddha said, "Be happy wherever you live. 〉〉〉〉〉〉〉〉〉〉〉〉〉〉〉〉𝶹𝶹𝶹𝶹𝶹〉ԑԑԑ 」

The key point of this passage of the Sixth Ancestor is: "Each of us has a pure land in our hearts, regardless of east, west, north and south; As long as you are kind-hearted, can recite Buddha and hold spells, it is easy to go to the pure land. If you have a bad heart, you can't die of Buddha. 」

The Buddha said, "After crossing the West and passing through 10 trillion Buddhist lands, there is a world called Elysium. 」

The sixth ancestor said, "There is pure land in my heart. As long as your heart is clean, the Buddha land will be clean. 」

So there is no difference between the so-called East and the so-called West. It seems that there is no such thing as westerners living in the East. Westerners nowadays, westerners mainly want to go to heaven.

We currently live in the East, and orientals like to live in the West, and most of them go to the pure land of the West. I saw the plaques in the funeral parlour, all of which were "born in the West", and none of them were born in the East.

In fact, we are all studying Buddhism. That's just a noun.

There is a world in the East, which is called "A Qiu Buddha", "Miaoxi World" and "Pharmacist Glazed King Buddha World". No matter east, west, south and north, there is pure land, including the nether bodhisattva, who has a "exquisite pure land"; Maitreya Bodhisattva has a pure land that leads the sky.

All Buddhist countries exist, regardless of east, west, north and south. East, south, west and north are divided by us. As I said last time, we are standing on the earth, where is the top? Where is the bottom? You think the expenses are on it? When the earth turns, it becomes the following; You think you're stepping on the ground below? When the earth turns, it is on it.

Therefore, the world in east, south, west, north, up, down and all directions is actually divided by people. Orientals want to live in the west, while westerners want to live in the east. I don't think so. It's convenient for Sixth Ancestor to say.

Once upon a time, there was a monk who wrote an essay for others: Go to the East. His filial son and grandson looked at it and said, "How can I get to the east?"? 」

The monk said to the benefactor, dutiful son and grandson, "Because you don't have enough to support, you need 12 taels of gold to go east and 20 taels to go west." Your money is only twelve taels, just go to the east. 」

After listening to this, the dutiful son and grandson had better "go to the west" and make him 12 ounces of gold as soon as possible.

In fact, this is a monk's scam. You haven't noticed that the Buddhist scripture "Pure Land of Western Elysium" is the pure land of Amitabha. Bodhisattvas in Pure Land can "spend all the wonderful flowers in a short time and travel to ten Buddhist countries". Although they live in the "western paradise" and the pure land, they can "March ten miles to the Buddha country with all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs", that is to say.

According to Master Zun, what the Sixth Ancestor said was not "I wish the East and the West", but "I have something in my heart" and "I have something in my heart". In the pure land of Buddhism, as the Amitabha Sutra says, which Buddhist country can't go? Everyone can go, everyone can. "Elysium in the West" is just the word "West". When you get there, you can go to any pure Buddhist land.

In the pure land of the east, any Buddhist country can go, and in the pure land of the south, any Buddhist country can go; The pure land in the north, any Buddhist country can go, nothing is impossible.

Here, the six ancestors advocated: "A pure heart means innocence." If the heart is pure, there is no sin.

It is quite difficult for people in the world to talk about the purity of the soul.

A photography team went to a small town to shoot a film. The hero and heroine have a passionate performance by the lake. They must clean up the site and drive away all the people so that they can't see it. Only the photography team filmed there. The police cleaning up the scene are patrolling there, and no one else is allowed to peek. When the director was filming, he found a man standing far away, peering at the lake with a super telescope.

The director said to the police, "Far away, someone is peeking in the Woods, and someone is peeking with a super telescope. The policeman said to the director, "This is out of our control." "Why can't I care? You can warn him, fire him and confiscate his binoculars. " The policeman still said, "We can't help it." The director asked, "What's the reason?" The policeman said, "That's our director. 」

A clean heart means innocence. It is difficult to be honest, but it is difficult for a secretary to go to the West. He still has dirt in his heart, so he can't go to the "western paradise". Unlike the master, he has no dirt in his heart.

Every time Master Ji Lian drives me to Hanxi New World for dinner, he passes a street and immediately says, "The most famous one here is betel nut beauty. 」

One stop after another, the clothes are transparent, as transparent as the white clothes of the big white lotus boy, which is very beautiful. "Master have a look. Every time he drives that road, he will say.

But I looked at it with my eyes, not in my heart. My eyes saw it, but my heart didn't. If the master closes his eyes and doesn't look at it, I just don't open my eyes, so I can't be tempted, that is, the master is too persistent.

Why not watch it? Want to see it! Tell everyone: "Look! Seeing that you don't care about it is a practice effort; Look, my mouth is watering, and I haven't practiced enough.

Master Ji Lian likes to lure his master to see these miscellaneous things. The host was very disciplined, and I didn't go to the nightclub.

I'm telling you, when I was young, My people are honest. If there is, then there is. If there is no one, there is no one. I am not a natural saint, but I was born an ordinary person. When I was young, I went to nightclubs, but now I don't go. Now I am a good boy. I take a shower and sleep as soon as I get home. Life is very simple and clean.

There is no sin if there is a pure heart. There is no sin, whether you are an oriental, a westerner, a southerner or a northerner, you can go to the pure land. (Applause) We are all clean.

Say another "unclean" one. Go to eat beef noodles alone When beef noodles were served, he saw a fly. "This beef noodles is not clean. There is a fly. He said to the waiter, "there are flies in your beef noodles, which are not clean." 」

The waiter said, "Strange, it should be clean." Because our boss pays special attention to picking out flies when all beef noodles are served, why are there flies in this bowl of beef noodles? 」

It is still not clean after a long time. The boss is not clean, and neither are the people who eat. We just want to keep clean.

One fly lives in a dirty toilet, and the other fly lives in a restaurant. The fly living in the restaurant said, "Alas! You always hide in the toilet. It's really dirty You see, flies staying in restaurants have delicacies everywhere, and you have to eat rice fields (feces) and urine. Do you have any questions? 」

The fly in the toilet replied to the fly in the restaurant: "How many butts have you seen? Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? I'm more comfortable looking at my ass. The food you eat is not necessarily good. Flies in our toilet can look at my ass. Both are dirty, whether it's flies in the toilet or flies in the restaurant.

It is really difficult to "have a clean heart". Six ancestors said that it is not difficult to die in the western paradise, as long as you have a clean heart. Actually, it's very difficult. Who can say that his heart is pure? Therefore, it is also very difficult to recite Buddha, hold spells and die in the "western paradise".

The sixth ancestor said that "Buddha's life is hard to go", but it is hard to go to "western paradise" with a bad heart. As long as you turn your heart into a kind heart and a clean heart, it is not difficult to reach the Buddha country. As long as you recite the Buddha and hold a spell, you can get there. (Applause)

Practicing in this world today, the place where I live is equal to the Heavenly Palace, the palace in the sky; The clothes I wear are equal to the sky clothes; The world I see is equal to the pure land of Buddhism; Everyone I see is a Buddha and Bodhisattva.

As the sixth ancestor said, "the heart is clean", there is nothing unclean; The heart is not clean, and it is filthy everywhere. What the Sixth Ancestor said is the most important one.

What the Sixth Ancestor said here seems to be that the Secretariat is from the East, and westerners are guilty of being unclean. The "east" and "west" mentioned here are people, not the pure land of Buddhism. Please don't misunderstand.

So, sometimes we don't want to offend people when we speak, but sometimes we can. There is a story that everyone has heard of.

At a wedding reception, all relatives and friends arrived, but the bride and groom haven't arrived yet. My in-laws were very nervous and said, "Those who should have come didn't come, nor did those who shouldn't." So when people come, they leave halfway. My in-laws are very nervous: "Those who should go don't go, and those who shouldn't have gone. 」

At this time, almost all the people left, only one person, his best friend, asked him, "Why do you talk like this?" This will offend people. 」

In-laws hurriedly explained, "I didn't tell them. As a result, this best friend left Talking can sometimes cause misunderstanding. In fact, he didn't mean it, but if he was misunderstood, what he said would easily offend people.

Don't misunderstand what the Sixth Ancestor said, that is, "Westerners should be born in the East" and "Orientals should be born in the West". We are talking about human beings here.

There is no distinction between east, west, north and south. I've read it, and there are misunderstandings. Do people in "Western Paradise" still want to live in "Oriental Paradise"? This is not right. People in "Oriental Elysium" don't want to live in "Western Elysium" either. Buddha was born in the southern world and will not go to the north. He can also go to the north, but he is still in the south. If the achievements in the north were not empty, he wouldn't have to go to the south. A Qiu Buddha in the East doesn't have to go to Amitabha Buddha in the West. Amitabha in the west doesn't have to go to Achu Buddha in the east.

In fact, the Piluzena Buddha in the center can go to any Buddhist country, and the buddhas in the east, west, north and south can go to any Buddhist country; Bodhisattvas in any Buddhist country can go to any Buddhist country, and there is no distinction between east, west, north and south.

"Going to the Buddhist country" is easier said than done.

The master himself, the first contact is pure land Sect. I went there to listen to the scriptures when Li Bingnan lay man gave a lecture in Taixu Memorial Hall of Bodhi Hospital in Taichung. According to Li Bingnan, a layman said, "Actually, it's easy to go to the western paradise, but it's also very difficult. 」

Where is the difficulty? It was the Sixth Ancestor who said, "It's hard to read Buddha if you have a bad heart. 」

This is what the sixth ancestor said, and I think so, too. According to the Amitabha Sutra, there are two conditions for you Buddhists to have "blessings". One is to have "blessings".

What is a Ford? Your heart must be kind; One more thing, "one heart is not chaotic", and the heart will not leave after death. I pray that Amitabha will accept you.

Without "blessing", absent-minded people can't go to the pure land of Buddhism. On the other hand, if you pay attention to the Amitabha Sutra, it is a key point to be "inseparable". Another point is that there must be "people who are blessed", which is what the Sixth Ancestor said, "It is difficult to miss Buddha if you have a bad heart." 」

Ford said that your heart must be kind, do ten good things and avoid ten bad things. That's all that matters.

What's wrong, Mimi?

Blessing!
