How to get the feeling of avalokitesvara (how to make bodhisattva effective? )

The sense of induction is subtle. "Sense" is cause, just like sound; "Ying" is the fruit, just like the ears of grain ringing. Shout at the valley and feel; There is a voice in the valley, calling Ying. Metaphorically, the way of induction is "the water is clear and the moon is hidden", which means that our hearts are pure and blessed, and Guanyin Bodhisattva naturally blesses in our hearts. If our hearts are not pure, there will be no blessing. Induction is like ringing a bell. "A big knock will make a big sound, and a small knock will make a small sound." How strong your sincerity and kindness are, how strong your sensitivity will be. These are the main points. The following specific explanation: induction is divided into two parts: (1) can sense three hearts; (2) Six-phase induction. First, you can feel three kinds of hearts, that is, three kinds of hearts: sincere, kind and altruistic. To practice the method of Guanyin Bodhisattva, you must cultivate these three hearts in order to get the protection of Bodhisattva. 1, the key to sincere practice is only two words-sincerity. The ancients said, "Sincerity makes the stone open." As small as a talent and a skill in the world, we must have sincerity and respect in order to achieve success and nuance. In ancient times, there was a chess master named Qiu Yi who taught people to concentrate on playing chess to win. All the tricks in the world are like this, not to mention that we have to understand Buddha and Bodhisattva. How can we not be sincere and respectful? Sincerity is effective, and insincerity is incomprehensible (half-hearted, dubious, casual, all insincere). To get the blessing of Guanyin Bodhisattva, there can be no doubt. Doubt is the biggest obstacle, and doubt won't work. The Dalagni Compassion says: "Except for one thing, those suspicious curses, even minor crimes and light industry, cannot be extinguished, let alone serious crimes." (Only one case is excluded, that is, doubts about spells, such as psychological doubts. Is it so effective? Is this true or not? If you don't believe this in your heart, you can't get rid of a minor misdemeanor, let alone a felony. Goode said: "Only doubt is abandoning talent. (Only doubt or disbelief is excluded. ) The Dalagni Classic of Great Compassion says: "Eliminating evil is not sincere." What kind of person doesn't work with the great compassion mantra? An insincere and unfriendly person. We carefully read "Guanyin Induction Record", and it is easy to find that people who feel it have a kind of * * * nature, that is, piety. For example, they believed in the Bodhisattva and devoted themselves to it in times of crisis for decades. Generally speaking, they recite sutras and mantras with a respectful attitude and make a wish in front of the Bodhisattva, without any falsehood. This kind of thing is sincere, and sincerity is the key to connecting with Bodhisattva. Let's look at another thing published in overseas magazines: a rich housewife has a maid, and the maid is envious when she hears the housewife chanting Buddha every day. She thought: My young lady has been so blessed, and she continues to cultivate happiness and learn Buddhism. I should also study. She asked her hostess to teach her to read. The housewife was eating litchi, looked down on her and said, "Are you still worthy of chanting Buddha? Read what? Litchi kernel! " She believed it, so she watched litchi seeds all day. Soon, her son fell into the sea. Later, he came back and told his mother, "How dangerous! The boat capsized and I fell into the sea. Something made me float all the way to the beach. Looking back after landing, I found a thick layer of litchi stones. " Why can maids get real induction? Because she is really, sincerely reading, although she is reading litchi nucleus, she feels that she is chanting Buddha. What she read is true, of course she has to feel it. Think about it, even if you read Litchi Kernel, you can feel it. It can be seen that the heart of all beings is connected with the Buddha's heart. If you sincerely pray, the Buddha will certainly respond. Therefore, if you can really read Guanyin Bodhisattva, you must be blessed. The key is to believe that when you are reciting this sentence, the Bodhisattva's decision is in your heart, and you can feel it wholeheartedly. When we read, we can't feel it. We should check whether we are sincere. We must not be born with Jaken and think that Buddhism is invalid. The only thing to blame is that you are not sincere enough. You need more repentance and generosity to let Guanyin Bodhisattva join in. Let's look at an induction story: the master of compliance in the Song Dynasty, the famous master Ci Yun, once worked very hard to cultivate Samadhi, with a cycle of 90 days. He usually studies hard, vomits blood and is weak. In the middle of the Dojo, his foot cracked again, but he tried his best to practice Buddhism and vowed to die. One day, he suddenly felt as if he were dreaming. He saw Guanyin in white pointing her finger at her mouth, attracting evil insects, and nectar flowed out of her finger and injected into her mouth. Respecting the teacher suddenly felt cool and refreshing, and the illness was eliminated at once. On the day when he passed the customs smoothly, his head was more than an inch high and his voice was like Hong Zhong. The public was surprised and admired. Master Zun founded Tianzhu Temple and built the Hall of Light. On every rafter and tile on the shelf, Master recited the Great Compassion Mantra as a blessing. After three difficulties, the fire went out automatically. This is all the induction of the master's pious heart and strong will. So we should know that the power of sincerity is incredible, and its origin is not elsewhere, but in this mind. "Everything is born of the heart", and the heart is so subtle and sincere that it has such a great role. It is a great victory to honor and preside over the curse and blessing, because his heart is sincere and dedicated, and this blessing is added. This force must work according to the law of origin. Therefore, when we recite the mantra and pray in the name, the more sincere and respectful we are, the better. No matter what our heart is now, what effect will appear. Ancient people wrote scriptures, which can make the words of the scriptures shine. The fundamental reason is that the heart has reached sincerity. Do it with your heart, and blessings will appear. People nowadays are not sincere enough, so they have no achievements. Look again: There used to be a Liu Shanying. One winter, he read Four Disciplines of Fanfan and Yu Jingyi's Meeting the Kitchen God. He deeply believed that life is self-reliant and happiness is his own search. Afterwards, he repented of his sins, recited Guanyin on his knees every day, mentioned the Buddha's curse name, and prayed for her to live a long life. He does everything that can help all beings happily. Once, his mother suddenly had a relapse, which was more serious than before. His mother said to him, "I was born 3 1 year, and I get well quickly every time I get sick." You are chanting today, but your illness is getting worse and worse. This is my old age and happiness. I can't digest it! "He cried and said," This is my son's sin of not being sincere and free from delusion. Liu Shanying was busy burning incense, kowtowing to heaven and crying bitterly, vowing to eliminate all delusions and let her mother recover at an early date. "。 His mother hasn't drunk a drop of water for five days, and suddenly she said she wanted to drink porridge this day. That night, he dreamed that Guanyin invited his mother to sit with him and gave her a glass of green water to drink. The next day, my illness was halved, and I will be fine in a few days. I haven't been sick since. As a result, he believes more in induction, such as responding to voices, and recites scriptures more devoutly. After hearing this case, I knew that sincerity should come from the heart. When Liu Shanying recited the mantra in front of him, his sincerity was not from the heart, so he didn't feel much. Later, I burned incense, kowtowed, cried and swore that I was sincere. Now I understand Master Guanyin. We have repeatedly stressed that sincerity should come from the heart, which is often the case. Many people talk verbally and do mostly superficial things, such as repentance, wishing, making a heart, and relying on good knowledge. They didn't really mean it, so it didn't work. You must reflect on yourself at this point. Master Xuanhua said that there was a man in his hometown in Northeast China. He used to be a robber, robbing, robbing and kidnapping people everywhere. Once, I was injured in a robbery, and I rested for more than half a year, but I didn't get better. Only then did he realize that he had done something bad, so the wound never healed, so he made a wish: if my wound healed, I would never be a bandit again, and I would go to my parents' grave to be filial! After he made this wish, he recovered in a few days, so he went to his parents' grave to mourn. Many strange things happened during the mourning period, one of which was to pray for sunshine for the public and sacrifice meat to heaven. It was during his mourning that it rained for several months, but it was always sunny. He thought it would drown all the millet he planted, so he asked for sunshine. If Qiu Qing wants to show something, she will swear to heaven: If the rain stops within three days, I will cut meat for Heaven and Buddha. I made a wish three days later, but only two and a half days later, the rain stopped. In order to keep his promise, he picked up a knife in front of the Buddha and cut off his own meat, a piece of meat about one or two ounces in size. After cutting the meat, people passed out. It took some time to wake up. At this moment, a county magistrate passed by and saw blood all over the ground, thinking, what is this man doing cutting his own meat? Thought he was crazy. Only after asking did I know that he was seeking sunshine for the public before cutting meat for the Buddha and the sky. The county magistrate was very moved. Besides, after he cut the meat, a bird flew out of nowhere. This bird calls very specially. "Be more moral!" cried the bird. Be more virtuous! It would be nice to be virtuous. "This means persuading people to do more good deeds. That's why sincere prayer is so powerful. If everyone prays sincerely, it will surely save the will of God. All prayers should be sincere, and doing something pious is the key. When praying, be serious, sincere and sincere, and be sincere and respectful as much as possible. This is the power of empathy. If the heart is not sincere, the heart is false. How can it move the earth? There will be no induction. Therefore, "sincerity" is the first condition and the first premise of feelings. 2, change the good heart We know that we are guilty of creating bad karma, and we can sincerely admit our mistakes and turn evil into good. This is a conscience discovery, and conscience discovery can communicate with Bodhisattva. The so-called water is clear and the moon is present. Bodhisattva saves people who can change. If people are willing to turn over a new leaf, they will be in harmony with the bodhisattva and feel the salvation of the bodhisattva. This is an inductive law: we must be consistent and correspond to each other in order to understand. For example, if you are dark inside, you will not tend to be bright. If you see something good, you will naturally avoid it. Just like in the yin stage, when the karma of all beings is deep, they can't see the Buddha's light. The wicked are full of evil spirits, unwilling to contact with good, and willing to stay in a filthy environment; People who indulge in behavior are unwilling to get close to law-abiding people. This is called "birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups". Therefore, the same properties can be consistent with each other. If you can turn goodness into harmony with the bodhisattva's heart, you will naturally feel the Tao. On the contrary, those who have never changed, never repented of their sins and have evil thoughts, even if they recite them, will only plant good roots in the future and will not get secular induction. Why? Because my heart is contrary to the bodhisattva's, my heart has obstacles, and the bodhisattva can't add them. We read "Guanyin Induction Record", and many things in it are that people are afraid when they suffer retribution, and they really have a kind of remorse, swearing to the Bodhisattva that they will never do evil again and try their best to make amends. With this connotation, if they sincerely pray for the bodhisattva, they will be saved by the bodhisattva. For example, the Ming dynasty
