Merits of Maitreya Bodhisattva's Heart Mantra

Buddhist scripture cloud:

Maitreya Bodhisattva would like to say before the Buddha:

If someone recites a mantra, whether it is chanting or listening to the mantra, from the time when Sakyamuni Buddha died to the time when Maitreya Buddha was born, if someone enters the three evil ways, the Bodhisattva will know it, so as not to enter all evil karma.

If all sentient beings hear this mantra, they will not only fall into hell, hungry ghosts and beasts, but also become wheel saints and be born in front of Maitreya Bodhisattva in the inner court.

If you have other good things and there are no obstacles, you can get everything you want, live long and be rich for a long time.

This is a vow made by Maitreya Bodhisattva before the Buddha, so those who read this mantra will get the above merits and benefits, which is true, true.

Those who have heard this mantra, either read or recite it, or smell it, have found one person with the Great Bodhi and within the Three Realms, which is certain.

Falling into hell also frees people, shows bodhi, and even all animals, smelling this curse, also shows supreme purity.

Anyone who smells this mantra will not enter the three evil ways, the uterus and the lotus. His fortune was a great disaster for King Jinlun, but it could not be completed, and his merits were boundless.

Maitreya, Brahmin name Maitr=eya, Bali name Metteyya. Also known as Maitreya Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva, Midi Bodhisattva and Midi Bodhisattva. Cishi.

According to Maitreya's Upper Sutra and Maitreya's Lower Sutra, Maitreya was born in a Brahmin family and later became a disciple of the Buddha. The Buddha died first, and the Bodhisattva was regarded as a heaven and man, so he lived in Douludian. This Bodhisattva wants to mature all sentient beings, and does not eat meat from the beginning, so it is called cishi.

The Great Sun Sutra, in Volume I, states that the kind bodhisattva is headed by the kind in the Four Infinite Buddhas, born of the Tathagata caste, and can make all the Buddhas in the world grow, so it is called a kind teacher.

Shi Zun once predicted that when his life span reaches 4,000 years (about 5.76 billion years on earth), he will be born in this world and become a Buddha under the Longhua tree, which is divided into three phases. There is a meaning of preaching on behalf of Sakyamuni Buddha, saying that Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva and Sakyamuni will live their lives; At that time, the Buddha had been acquired, so it was also called Maitreya Buddha and Maitreya Tathagata. Accordingly, there are two kinds of statues.

In China, the statues of fat Maitreya Buddha enshrined in temples are often opened for smiling faces, which is a contract of the Five Dynasties. This monk is named Changting Pavilion, because it is said that Maitreya Buddha became a body and was enshrined by statues of later generations.

Past life belief has been valued by Buddhists as much as Amitabha belief since ancient times.

In addition, the original Tan of Maitreya Bodhisattva can be found in the Sutra of Wisdom, Immortality and Mercy, which is collected in the third volume of Dazhengzang.

=======================

Maitreya, a transliteration of Sanskrit Maitreya, is a free translation of cishi, whose surname is Aydo. Maitreya, a disciple of the Buddha, lived in the Heavenly Palace in the Six Desires and lectured there. Because Sakyamuni Buddha recorded in advance that he would be born after the end of his life in heaven, he is also called the Buddha who can be reborn, that is, the bodhisattva who can replace him in the next life. Because it will become a Buddha in the future, it is also called Maitreya Buddha.

The name of Maitreya appeared in the early Agama. In Agama, Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha born after Sakyamuni. When Maitreya Buddha was born, the ground was full of seven treasures, with many flowers, sweet fruit, rich land and kind people. She lived for 84,000 years and married at the age of 500.

Maitreya Buddha will be born in the future, and his father's name is Xiufanmo, and he is a minister. Mother's name is Van Moyo, and she is a princess, which shows that she is of noble birth.

After Maitreya was born, he meditated under the Longhua tree and became a monk. He also set up three meetings to eliminate all sentient beings, including 960 million people at the beginning, 9.4 billion people at the second meeting and 9.2 billion people at the third meeting.

Maitreya belief was introduced into China with Buddhism. The Mahayana Prajna Sutra translated from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, such as Dao Xing Prajna Sutra, Guang Guang Prajna Sutra, Maha Prajna Sutra and Vimalakīrti Sutra, all contain Maitreya belief. Others, such as the Prajna Sutra asked by Maitreya Bodhisattva in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Sutra asked by Brahma attentively, and the Pre-Qin Dynasty.

The content of Maitreya belief is concentrated in three parts, namely, Zhu Fahu's Maitreya Sutra of Birth, Kumarajiva's Maitreya Sutra of Becoming a Buddhist Sutra and Watching Maitreya Bodhisattva Live and Stay, which are collectively called "Maitreya Sutra".

Maitreya belief mainly includes two kinds: belief in the previous life and belief in the next life.

Viewing the living rate sutra of Maitreya Bodhisattva expresses the belief of living.

Maitreya Bodhisattva was originally a disciple of Sakyamuni Buddha and was highly valued by the Buddha, but died before Sakyamuni went extinct. Before Maitreya died, the Buddha gave him a record, predicting that he would be born after his death and lead the heavenly palace.

Buddhism divides the world into three realms: the realm of desire, the realm of color and the realm of achromatic. There are six days of desire, from bottom to top: four days, thirty-three days, flaming skyscrapers, occupying the sky, turning lotte into freedom. This is a paradise envied by the world, with magnificent golden walls, blooming lotus flowers, Yue Xian playing and a heavenly girl dancing around it. However, Maitreya Bodhisattva lives in the inner court of the Heavenly Palace, solemn and clean, and has no desire for pleasure, which is different from the outer court where the immortals live. It is also called Maitreya Pure Land.

As long as the world practices meditation, accumulates virtue, or recites the name of Maitreya, it can go to the pure land of Maitreya after death. Entering the pure land of Maitreya can not only avoid reincarnation, but also often listen to Maitreya's sermons, and in the future, you can live with Maitreya and get rid of the Tao.

The belief in the upper life is mainly the belief in Maitreya Bodhisattva, and it is also the goal that can be achieved in the near future (you can live after death), but this is only the intermediate link or transit point of liberation, not the final destination.

The belief in the next life can be found in Maitreya's Next Life Sutra and Maitreya's Buddhist Sutra.

According to Buddhist scriptures, Maitreya lived for 4,000 years, which is 5.6 billion years in adult life. After his death, he became a Buddha on earth.

After the birth of Maitreya, people not only live happily, but also have the opportunity to get rid of it, which is not attractive to people living in the dark world. Although it is clearly stated in Buddhist scriptures that Maitreya will not be born until 5.6 billion years later, people who are suffering are eager for the early arrival of Maitreya, so the belief in afterlife quickly replaced the early popular belief in shangsheng and became the mainstream of Maitreya belief.

Since Maitreya is still a bodhisattva at this time, the belief in Shang Sheng is the belief in Maitreya Bodhisattva and Maitreya Pure Land. In terms of statues, the original Maitreya Buddha was mostly dressed as a bodhisattva, wearing a crown and a garland, with a basic cross-legged posture and a strong Indian style. Since then, the image of Maitreya Buddha has also appeared. There are many Maitreya-related giant buddhas in China, such as Xinchang Giant Buddha in Zhejiang, Qixia Mountain Giant Buddha in Nanjing, Xunxian Giant Buddha in Henan, Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan, Rongxian Giant Buddha in Ningxumi Mountain and Yuanguang Temple Giant Buddha.

The early Maitreya statues were made in strict accordance with the requirements of Buddhist scriptures, such as thirty-two statues and eighty statues, which can be said to be a kind of "golden Maitreya Buddha", from which there are not many traces of China.

The Chinese nation is good at absorbing and digesting foreign cultures, especially in the acceptance and transformation of Buddhism, and Maitreya belief is no exception.

Because people are eager for the early birth of Maitreya Buddha, this religious enthusiasm is often used by people. Many people instigated the uprising under the banner of "Maitreya Buddha was born", and the situation was more complicated. There were peasant uprisings, people with ulterior motives bewitched the masses, people who took the opportunity to rebel, and people who took the opportunity to collect money and cheat.

From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, some insurgents often pretended to be Maitreya, appearing in the image of long hair in white, indicating that "long hair in white" became the new image of Maitreya recognized by the society at that time, which could be called "Maitreya in white".

Maitreya in white means the localization and secularization of Maitreya image. Although Maitreya in white cannot be said to have no classical basis at all, as a standard image of Maitreya, it has never appeared in India. White clothes not only contain the meaning of being white, but also represent the identity of believers in the family, that is, laity. Long hair can fully show this feature.

The layman in white can also be regarded as the incarnation of Maitreya Buddha, which started in China in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Shi, with the word Fu Hong and the name Fu Ming, was a famous Buddhist in the Liang Dynasty. He claimed that "under the double forest trees, he should come to free the master of good wisdom", that is, the incarnation of Maitreya Buddha, who often showed his magical powers and returned to his heart, which had a great influence for a while.

After the Late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, Maitreya with a big belly, which was based on a monk traveler, became popular and became a popular Maitreya with a long history in China.

Qi, a native of Fenghua County, Mingzhou (now Fenghua, Ningbo), lived in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. He is a lower-class traveling monk, because he is often carried with a cloth bag, so he is also called a cloth bag monk. He has a distinctive appearance, a wrinkled nose, a big belly and a fat body.

His behavior is also very strange. Wear high-toothed clogs when the weather is dry, and wet sandals when the weather is waterlogged, so that people can know the weather and lie everywhere. In winter, they lie in the snow and their bodies are completely motionless. He has no fixed place and often goes to the market to beg for food. No matter whether the meat is good or bad, he always eats it in his mouth and puts it in a cloth bag little by little. What's more strange is that the business in the place where he begs is particularly good.

He usually doesn't talk much. In the second year of Liang (9 16), he disappeared under the east gallery of Lin Yue Temple in Fenghua. Before he died, he said, "Maitreya Buddha is really Maitreya Buddha, and it is a place of 100 billion at once." When it is always obvious, people don't know "four sentences, and people know that he is the embodiment of Maitreya Buddha.

As a traveling monk, this is very close to the people, so it is very popular with ordinary people. His image is affable, although not as solemn as Maitreya in golden body, but it adds a kind of affinity. Although he showed his magical powers, he only hinted at others, not for his own benefit. Until his death, he hinted that he was the incarnation of Maitreya, which was in sharp contrast to Shi's public declaration that he was the incarnation of Maitreya, which shocked the ruling and opposition parties and made him rich and famous. It is also completely different from those fake white-haired Maitreya Buddhas who confuse the masses and incite rebellion.

This is very important, not only because of its peculiar image, but also because of its ideological detachment. There are not many poems left by him, but they are all very distinctive. He has a poem: "A bowl of rice, walking alone in Wan Li. There are few witnesses and ask for directions. " This poem reflects the life of the monks who traveled there at that time, and this sentence by Mu Qing uses the allusion of Ji Kang's blue eyes to treat his confidants and laymen, which shows his unknown loneliness. He also wrote a song, emphasizing that only the heart is the most real thing, and it is "the most spiritual thing in the world of ten sides". Monks only need to be comfortable and idle, not different, not obsessed with Confucian classics, which is consistent with the style of Zen.

The big belly and cloth bags here have become a symbol of generosity and tolerance. He has one thing:

There are too many people in this world who hate and love each other, so I think carefully about what I can do.

If you are broad-minded, you must bear the burden of humiliation and be willing to follow him.

When you meet a bosom friend, you should score points, and when you meet an enemy, you should make up.

If you can do this, you will naturally get six polo.

He stressed the need to be generous and tolerant, not to care about the right and wrong in the world, to be "broad-minded" and "open-minded and happy". As long as we are magnanimous and broad-minded, we can live in peace with the enemy, and even become a Buddha and get six degrees.
