Chapter 1140 First of all, I want to hook up

Studying Buddhism for worldly purposes is not the motivation of the Noble Path, but it is also absorbed by the compassion of Bhagavad. Therefore, he preached the vast and immeasurable Buddha-figures of merit, wealth, and love to meet the worldly needs of sentient beings.

"First with desire, and then into the wisdom of the Buddha. ”

For those who have just entered Buddhism, or who have studied Buddhism for a long time without having a complete and systematic meditation, and who have not yet developed a definite understanding of cause and effect, dependent arising, and emptiness, if their motivation is based on their current worldly prayers, they may stop their study of the Dharma and retreat when they fail to fulfill their wishes or encounter great disobedience.

In reality, there are countless such cases, or because of business failures, they have not fulfilled their wish to seek Buddhism, and they have vowed not to study Buddhism again, or they have not been able to marry well, and they have begun to have all kinds of doubts about Buddhism.

From the human level, it is normal for human beings to doubt or even retreat when they encounter major violations or great expectations that cannot be met, or it is the habits and karma of ordinary people.

In terms of the whole great cause, such people themselves are also lacking in the merits and good roots of the Dharma, so they are defeated and retreated by all kinds of obstacles and setbacks.

In this life, if you are not defeated by any adverse circumstances, and you are moving forward on the path of the Dharma, this is also your blessing and karma.

Some people are not, their karma is present, they have experienced strong winds and waves, no one is with them, no one is with them through thick and thin, so they give up the Dharma and go to the worldly Dharma or the outer paths.

Once the Buddha's relationship is broken, it may be possible to renew and practice again after many lives or even eons. And in the middle of the rotation of the six paths, the hell hungry ghost beast path may have to go many times.

In this case, how to avoid major adverse obstacles, realize the value of life, and get what you want in your career and marriage is the key.

When it comes to wealth and fortune, it can be said that countless people are eager for it, including many Buddhist disciples, who also hope to get the blessing of the mysterious Buddha power after entering the Buddha gate, and become financially free and prosperous.

However, it is not enough to have the blessings of the Buddha-figure protector, you also need to practice Buddha-figure yoga and you need to raise funds for purifying obstacles. In this way, we can live up to our deity.

If a person has karma, even if he is a wealth deity with endless compassion, the rain is blessed, and the treasure is like rain, he still passes by this person, like raindrops hitting lotus leaves, and they slide down one after another.

Therefore, the fundamental solution is to first repent of the karma, eliminate the karma of the past lifetimes, such as stealing, miserliness, and other sins in the past, and cleanse oneself into a white and immaculate bottle, and then pour nectar on it, so that the nectar will not be contaminated.

Otherwise, if the karma is still there, although there are countless opportunities to make money, it is still a failure, and the last step is missing, but in the last step there is a mistake, and the success is lost.

"The Great Bodhisattva Tibetan Manjushri Root Sadhana Sutra" cloud:

"If a person who recites in a past life has done all kinds of negative karma that has not been fulfilled, and the deeds he has done in this life have not been fulfilled, he should repent and repent according to what the Buddhas said, and his karma will be eliminated, and he will be able to attain speedy attainment by practicing according to the law.

Or a foolish person, who is unable to repent and practice according to the law due to the karma of reincarnation, who cannot fulfill what he wants, and who has no reason to be happy in all sentient beings.

If you don't practice, you won't be able to enter the door of liberation, and if you can practice and be related to the Dharma, you will decide to attain liberation and quickly attain Bodhi. ”

This passage tells us:

1. If the karma created in past lives is not exhausted, all kinds of deeds in this life cannot be accomplished. Now the will to repent, the karma is removed, and the mantra practice is quickly achieved.

2. The person who holds the mantra should practice meditation on samadhi and attain liberation quickly.

For us, if we want to practice repentance, we can practice the Dizang Zhancha Confession, the Great Confession of the Buddha, the Vajrasattva Hundred Characters, etc., and we can devote ourselves to confession and repent of certain aspects of karma, such as the karma of poverty and want.

It is also possible to practice Buddha-figure yoga, that is, to practice the earthly treasure, Guanyin, etc., and even to recite the Diamond Sutra and Pumen products, all of which have the function of eliminating karma.

For people with a lot of karma, a lot of the recitations they do are used to eliminate their sinful karma, and the wishes they ask for will not begin to appear until later. At first, the vows don't work very well, until the karma gradually clears up.

In the practice of the Dharma, we can combine the tantric concept of purifying sins:

1. Visualize Jizo Bodhisattva clearly above your head, from the bodhisattva's heart flowing nectar into your body, purifying all sinful karma.

2. Visualization: Negative karma and ignorance are discharged from the body in the form of sewage, diseases are discharged in the form of pus and blood, and ghosts and unjust creditors are discharged in the form of snakes, frogs, and scorpions. The main focus is on the gradual purification of negative karma.

It is also possible to simply visualize negative karma being expelled from the body in the form of sewage.

4. Visualization: Jizo Bodhisattva emits white light that illuminates the six realms and completely purifies all sentient beings.

Then the Jizo Bodhisattva transforms into a five-colored light and merges from the top of your head, and you become the Jizo Bodhisattva, no different from the Jizo Bodhisattva.

To visualize the image of Jizo Bodhisattva, you can visualize the image of the shravaka holding a tin staff.

One of the incarnating images of Jizo Bodhisattva can also be observed, as follows:

In Tibetan Buddhism, the Tibetan Bodhisattva wears a crown, a heavenly robe, and a celestial figure decorated with jewels. Surrounded by auspicious flowers, the left hand is given a wish seal, the right hand is holding a white Mani orb on the chest, and the whole knees sit on the lotus. Bright and elegant, full of compassion and peace.

When it comes to visualization, it's actually a bit demanding, but when you immerse your mind and focus on visualization without distraction, then you start to exert the power of Buddha-figure samadhi.

The special thing about Jizo Bodhisattva is that even if you don't do a good job of mindfulness, you still have merit and can fulfill the wishes of the world when you recite with a scattered and chaotic mind.

The threshold for this method is extremely low, so you should always recite the Jizo Sutra or the Jizo Holy Name.

Reciting the holy name of Jizo in a chaotic mind to obtain good retribution in the world.

"Zhancha Good and Evil Karma Sutra" cloud:

"If the mind is mixed and dirty, although I recite my name instead of smelling, I will not be able to give birth to the belief and understanding, but I will receive the good retribution of the world, and I will not be able to benefit from the great and profound benefits. If the mind is chaotic and dirty, and all the good things that are cultivated by it will not be able to gain great benefits. ”

When you recite the holy name of Jizo and are distracted, you can only get the good retribution of the world, that is, all kinds of fame and wealth, all kinds of wealth, but you can't get all kinds of profound benefits such as samadhi in the world.

For most people in this era, they do not seek any vast and profound samadhi realm, but only seek all kinds of practical interests, which is also a kind of opportunity.

Without renunciation and bodhicitta and reciting the holy name of Jizo, one can still stay away from poverty and fulfill one's wishes.

"Again, if all sentient beings in future lives, even though they do not seek to meditate on the path of wisdom, but suffer from all kinds of misfortunes, poverty, distress, and persecution, they should also worship and make offerings respectfully, repent of their evil deeds, and make a constant vow, and recite My name diligently at all times and in all places, so that they may be sincere, and they should quickly get rid of all kinds of afflictions, and give up their lives to be born in good places. “
