Pure Land Sect and Modern Society

Jing Zong embodies the truth, goodness, beauty and wisdom of legal civilization, and entrusts the ultimate life care for all sentient beings, so that all sentient beings can obtain great happiness in all horrors. In the long history of endless robbery, pure sectarian civilization has spread to countless dharma circles in various forms, or the buddhas and bodhisattvas in Elysium have been distributed to other places and declared in various capacities; Or pure practitioners accept and demonstrate the spirit of pure religion by practicing in the name of faith; Or the literati and philosophers who believe in Jing Zong wrote poems and lyrics, and loaded the factors of Jing Zong civilization. In this way, the pure land culture has penetrated and spread to all levels of society. It can be said that all sentient beings have the prototype of pure sectarian culture in their hearts.

The justice and solemnity of the western paradise are enough in our hearts. At the turn of the century, Jing Zong, an ancient Buddhist practice, still has great vitality in the modern society centered on market economy and science and technology. Amitabha mourned for all sentient beings, especially for us who were burned by the old woman. Our prodigal son, after eight difficulties, suddenly showed good roots, trusted in his real name, called for the help of Amitabha, and stepped into his blissful hometown step by step. What a touching and rare time!

The idea and practice of pure sectarian culture can not only satisfy the ultimate concern of modern people, but also eradicate the negative effects brought by modern civilization. This paper intends to briefly discuss it from four aspects: 1, the opportunity for Buddhist practice to adapt to modern society. 2. Jing Zong culture and ecological environment. 3. Jing Zong culture and world peace. 4. Jing Zong culture and moral construction in China. The content is as follows:

1. An opportunity for Buddhist practice to integrate into modern society.

It is important to promote Buddhism and benefit students. In the age of wisdom, the characteristics and root mechanism of all beings are to treat diseases and teach students in accordance with their aptitude. The legal movement of pure Buddhism in modern society is a big problem that people inside and outside the church pay attention to. Judging from the comprehensive factors such as Buddhist classics' menopause, the characteristics of modern society and the root mechanism of the ultimate sentient beings, Jing Zong's method of chanting Buddhism will play the main role of abbot Buddhism in modern and even future society. There are three reasons:

First of all, the interpretation of Buddhism shows Jing Zong's ingenious use of the method of chanting Buddha. The Mahayana Classic divides the Buddhist movement into three periods, namely, the right dharma, the image dharma and the final dharma. Every period of French traffic has its own characteristics. Buddhism has been practiced for thousands of years, and the commandments are adhered to; Such as Buddhism for thousands of years, meditation is firm; In the last 10,000 years, I only lived and died by chanting Buddha. Based on the teaching method, these hanging notes corresponding to the roots of all beings are tantamount to the torch of wisdom burning in the dark at night, benefiting all beings with real and skillful guidance, and injecting great vitality into the prosperity of Jing Zong.

In China, Tan Luan in the Northern Wei Dynasty and Tao Chuo and Good Guidance in the Tang Dynasty were first inspired by the idea of the last law and advocated pure religion. Master Daochuo divided the teaching method of Buddhism into two parts: the holy way and the pure land. From the point of view of time and education, it is considered that it is a long time to go to saint, and now it has reached the end of the law. At this time, all living beings are poor roots, a holy road, and it is difficult to repair and prove. Advocate abandoning the holy gate (relying on self-reliance to prove the truth) and returning to the pure land gate (relying on Buddhism to bring chaos to life). Inheriting this idea is his disciple, Master's mentor. The master of good guidance is a master of the theory of "voluntary others" in the history of China and Jing Zong. The master of good guidance thinks that the pure land Sect method is a convenient method specially designed for the final law, and it is a simple method to cross the three realms and become a Buddha. Without sentient beings, it is often difficult to get out of life and death.

Later, the founders of Jing Zong in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as Master Yongming, Master master lianchi, Master Hu Yi, Master Wu Chu, and Master Yin Guang, all inherited the idea of the last law and advocated the pure land law, which was quite effective. Nowadays, the trend of Buddhism globalization is increasing, and the mainstream signs of pure sects are becoming more and more obvious. China, Singapore, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries, as well as European and American countries, are dotted with pure Buddhist chanting groups. Amitabha's name resounds all over the world, and its Sanskrit sound moistens the barren hearts of modern beings like manna, and many Buddhist believers are dying. These conditions fully prove the special effect of pure land Sect's chanting method in helping all beings last autumn.

Secondly, the characteristics of modern society, combined with Jing Zong's simplicity and straightforwardness, show the modernity and modernity of Jing Zong. As we all know, the pillars of modern society are science and technology and market economy. The power brought by science and technology is transforming nature with each passing day. An artificial virtual world created by high technology stands out and presents itself to modern people. The explosion of knowledge and information forces modern people to master all kinds of modern knowledge and skills to adapt (or participate in the transformation) of the outside world. The rapidly increasing TV, telephone, mobile phone and computer network will soon enter every family in the world and will connect the earth into a (global village). Information from all over the world can be quickly spread to all parts of the world through modern media, and the operation of modern economy (finance, foreign trade, multinational corporations, automation, etc. ) is also completed by the information network. Modern people can only live in the ocean of information whether they like it or not.

The wave of global market economy has shaped (or strengthened) modern people's efficient and pragmatic way of thinking, and its value judgment standard is more inclined to secular utility and enjoyment. Coupled with the increase of population and the lack of resources, the competition for survival of modern people is becoming increasingly fierce. In this case, there are many difficulties in popularizing Buddhism in modern society. A small number of modern people with good Buddhist knowledge are eager to practice Buddhism, but they are also faced with confusion. Modern people's tourism and leisure fever has promoted the road network to extend to the entrance of famous ancient temples in an all-round way, and Aranro is not easy to get in contemporary society. The simple and quiet mentality of the ancients has gradually become an unreachable dream for modern people surrounded by a lot of information. Therefore, it is indeed a severe challenge to practice (and realize) Buddhism of life and death in contemporary times. Therefore, ancient Buddhism should have a modern transformation, and the characteristics of pure sects contain the opportunity of this modern transformation.

The concept and practice method of pure land chanting Buddha is the most suitable era for modern society. Modern people have a fast pace of life and fierce competition, so they have no time to practice Buddhism. The practice of chanting Buddha is the most opportunity for such people. If you don't have much time, just do ten readings a day (time for a cup of coffee) There are various ways to recite Buddha, and they are flexible. Walking, living, sitting and lying can be carried, and all kinds of environments do not hinder it. Modern people like convenience, so-called "fast food" consumption.

The method of chanting Buddha has the characteristics of "fast food". When you are faced with a thorny problem and your heart is flustered, saying a few words of Buddha's name (Buddha of Wisdom) can stabilize your mood and deal with it rationally; When you want to make your heart full of heat and annoyance, you can feel cool through your body (pure and light Buddha) by chanting the name of Buddha to your heart; When you encounter negative fate and your heart is about to rise, you can say a few words of Buddha's name to calm down the toxin and look at each other with kindness (joy and light Buddha); Or when a person hears the Dharma on his deathbed, he will read the name of Amitabha to his heart, and after ten or even one sound, he will be accepted by Amitabha, born in another land and become a Buddha quickly. The practice of chanting Buddha and dying is actually a fast-food practice of Buddhism, which closely conforms to modern people's cultural consumption psychology, learning from the dust and getting rid of the mud.

Jing Zong embodies the unique free and open spirit of Mahayana Buddhism, which is especially suitable for believers to practice at home. In other words, it is the penetration of Buddhism into daily life that turns the secular into a Dojo. Living Buddha's life, living Buddha's life, can be our happy life. In Hua Yan Jing, there are many practitioners at home, scattered in all walks of life, and the world law does not hinder the Buddha. The language and endowment of running the world and students' careers do not go against reality. The first good knowledge that this lucky boy visited was Deyun Bhikkhu, who specialized in chanting Samadhi. Fifty-third Shanzhi Bodhisattva made ten wishes for Wang Dao's return to Elysium, inferring that the fifty-fourth Shanzhi he participated in was Amitabha. It can be seen that this 53-year-old rich boy is a practicing Buddhist from beginning to end. The openness and simplicity of the Pure Land Sect is in line with the characteristics of modern society.

Third, the five turbid evil worlds, you should practice without chanting Buddha. With the rapid development of modern science and technology and material civilization, the humanistic environment and the moral nature of modern people are getting worse and worse. Shi Zun once wrote: "After my death, the Confucian classics gradually disappeared, and the people were confused and illusory, and they were evil. Five burns and five pains, the same as before. After a long time, I can't talk about it. " This French sentence is really a true portrayal of today's society. Modern sentient beings will be at a loss if they want to live or die, become a Buddha, leave Jing Zong, and cross the Dharma by taking advantage of the Buddha. During the robbery (when all kinds of turbid methods meet), we decided to be limited by the times and the environment and were troubled by many hardships. In such a robbery, only by relying on the power of Buddha and leading the industry across the three realms can we get rid of life and death.

Being in a turbid state (from the body, from the side, from the outside, and from Jaken), you will be bound by strange knowledge and confused by evil teachers' heresy. At this time of Jaken's prosperity, the only way to escape from life and death is to come straight to the point, and no opinions are allowed. In my troubles (greed, delusion and doubt), I decided to be overwhelmed by greed and swallowed up by bad karma. In this troubled and confused time, you can only recite the Buddha's name, but you can't take it away, that is, the normal mind is a trip to the Buddha's heart. Being in the turbidity of all beings (seeing the rough body and mind that I feel confused), I decided to be content with smelly filth without being bored, willing to feel inferior and weak without trying to fly. In this ugly state of mind, we can only get rid of life and death if we are tired of leaving our mother-in-law and eager for a trip to bliss. Being in a turbid world (bad cause and effect, short life), decisions are swallowed up by impermanence and caught off guard. At the moment when people breathe, only Jing Zong can not waste time and energy, believe in the wonderful method of chanting Buddha ten times or even once, feel the power of Buddha and spend life and death.

We are deeply committed to these five evil worlds, and it is difficult to get rid of life and death by our own cultivation, so we are willing to die and steal our hearts and cherish the main entrance avenue of pure land of chanting Buddha. As Master Hu Yi said, "I only believe that I would like to make a solemn sound of Amitabha, turn turbidity into a clean sea meeting, turn turbidity into infinite light, turn trouble into constant silence light, turn all beings into lotus flowers, and turn life into infinite life." Therefore, the voice of Amitabha Buddha is the three bodhi methods of Adoro, Sanzang and Sanbodhi obtained by Sakyamuni in the troubled times of the Five Realms. "("Amitabha's Interpretation ") The true words of Master Hu Yi, flowing from the Great Light Collection, have shocked the present. We should never forget them, be respectful and sincere, and live up to the extreme compassion of Sakyamuni Amitabha Buddha and the diligent encouragement of our ancestors.

2. Pure Sect and Ecological Environment

While global modernization brings high material and high consumption, ecological imbalance and environmental pollution also follow. Such as: smog in the air, sharp decline and extinction of natural creatures, desertification caused by large-scale deforestation, ozone hole in the South and the Arctic, global greenhouse effect and nuclear radiation pollution. The consequences of these industrialization are unexpected by short-sighted human beings, and the seriousness of their problems has aroused great concern from people of insight all over the world. Some scientists predict that if humans continue to destroy the ecological environment at the current rate, the earth will not be suitable for human habitation in the near future (some countries are already exploring the possibility of interstellar migration). In this way, a serious modern problem is before us: we only have one earth, how can we live in harmony with it?

The deterioration of the ecological environment lies in the expanding material desires and egocentrism of human beings. In order to effectively solve the ecological crisis, we must start from the root of human greed. In this regard, the concept of Jing Zong culture can provide useful enlightenment for modern people. There are three things in this list: (1) Be kind to life without killing; (2) according to righteousness, the heart is clean and the soil is clean; (3) Advocating frugality, restraining extravagance and dissolving greed. The breakdown is as follows:

(1) Be kind to life without killing.

Jing Zong culture treats six sentient beings (heaven, man, Asura, beast, hungry ghost and hell) equally with great compassion, and regards all sentient beings as their parents, thinking and being happy all the time. Therefore, all sentient beings who walk by land, water and air are forbidden to eat meat, which breaks the great compassion. The most important person in the world lives, and the worst person in the world kills. Man and beast are all of the same flesh and blood, and they share the virtue of Tathagata. Those lucky enough to be human (human nature) should pity the birds and animals, not only not kill them, but even sacrifice their lives to protect them. When the Master walked the Bodhisattva Road, he once cut meat for the eagle and dedicated himself to the tiger. Buddhism was introduced into China, and its teachings of kindness, forbidding killing and releasing were coupled with the cultural concepts of Confucianism and Taoism, which were widely practiced in China. However, when the sacred time is gone forever, the situation has changed, and the good laws prohibiting killing and releasing are gradually disappearing, and the number of people killing animals is increasing. Wild and rare animals grab tables for people to eat.

The extensive use of pesticides in crop cultivation has made many insects and birds extinct. Its cruelty actually runs counter to the same kind of human sex toys. People of insight in the west are also deeply rethinking that it is unwise or even immoral to kill insects in large quantities with chemicals since industrialization, and think that even when we have to fight insects, we still need to respect them. Relying on pesticides and other weapons to kill insects is enough to prove that we lack knowledge and ability to control the process of natural change, so it is useless to use violence.

The confrontation between man and biology in contemporary society has fallen into a deep vicious circle, and the evil consequences of its rebound will inevitably return to mankind. The sprayed pesticide was eaten again, so the gastrointestinal cancer increased sharply. Eating meat makes cardiovascular disease a killer of human beings. Even the SARS and AIDS epidemic in recent years, or the corresponding return of God's cruelty to mankind. If human beings want to get rid of the strange circle of blaming others, they should treat life kindly with the mentality that Jing Zong has no chance to be merciful. Maintaining the harmony of the earth's biodiversity, each in its proper place and complementing each other, is the foundation of human good fortune and happiness.

(2) Take the right path, keep your heart clean and your soil clean.

Jing Zong culture shows that Ipoh (environment) has changed with Bao Zheng (physical and mental karma). A clean heart is a clean Buddhist land. The ten dharma circles are solemn, and idealism is just around the corner. The multi-dimensional space of the legal world is boundless, it coexists and does not interfere with each other. We can only see the space corresponding to our karma. Rich heaven, clean Buddhist temple, or bitter and dark hell do not correspond to our karma, so I don't know.

Mind and nature are isomorphic with the outside world, and most of the classics mentioned Chen. Earth, water, fire and wind are the four elements that make up the material world. With the difference of purity, filth, good and evil, the earth, water, fire and wind all have corresponding phenomena. (1) the land is the same as life, with a pure heart and a good career, the land is as smooth as the palm of your hand and endless; With the fate of dyeing the heart, the hills are bumpy and the thorns are gravel; (2) the water is constant and follows the fate. Good career with a pure heart, bright water, clean bath and beautiful waves; With the fate of the heart, frost and snow exposed, streams and gullies even spread all over Hong Tao; (3) The fire keeps coming. With a pure heart and a good relationship, the light will flourish without the sun and the moon; With the fate of dyeing the heart, the sun and the moon are burning day and night; (4) The wind is unchanged, and the heart of the child is good. The wind is clear, the leaves are ringing, the sound is slight, and it is sad and elegant; With the fate of mixed business, spring and summer are hot, autumn and winter are cold, flying sand and stones. In short, all kinds of external landscapes formed by earth, fire, water and wind are known from the hearts of all beings and should be discovered according to their careers. According to the truth, the living environment (reported) and my three industries (reported) are isomorphic. There are many evils, and thorns are born in the ground; Flattery is uneven; If there are too many reasons for greed, and floods and droughts are not coordinated, sand will be produced on the ground (desertification). Pure, equal and compassionate, there are no thorns on the ground, only green and soft grass, lush leaves and solemn flowers, ponds, colorful flowers, gardens and fragrant forests are everywhere, and good birds gather together.

According to the correct basic principles, it enlightens us that the quality of ecological environment is directly related to our thoughts and morality. A clean heart means a clean soil, while a dirty heart means a dirty soil. To improve the ecological environment, we must first improve our spiritual environment. For a long time, driven by the desire for profit, we have many wrong understandings of man and nature, man and biology, such as anthropocentrism and hedonism. This led to a series of violent acts against natural creatures, which seriously destroyed the internal balance between human beings and the ecological environment and swallowed the bitter fruit of bad karma. Now it is time for us to calm down, accept the essence of Jing Zong culture with an open mind and rebuild the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

(3) Advocating frugality, restraining extravagance and dissolving greed.

Jing Zong culture pays attention to the value of being born as a human being, so observing the living state of this world naturally pays attention to the physical and mental purification of life, does not advocate the supremacy of efficiency, downplays the greed for material life, advocates the necessary survival of life with simple material consumption, pays more attention to the liberation of spirit and soul, observes precepts and recites Buddha, improves moral personality, and handles life and death matters when life is born. Under the premise of this life value goal, material sensory enjoyment can be reasonably and legally adjusted.

When the ancient sages learned about it, they all advocated frugality and went to luxury. Looking at the monarchs who have always regarded themselves as entrepreneurs at all times and all over the world, they all made their fortune by frugality, such as Tang Yao, Yu Shun and Emperor Taizong. Those who lost their country and life, such as Xia Jie and Shang Zhou, all perished in luxury. Therefore, if you manage your family diligently, your body will be safe; If you indulge in luxury, you will be in danger. In modern times, we should advocate a life style of advocating frugality and restraining luxury in order to safeguard the well-being of mankind.

Simple consumption concept can, on the one hand, alleviate the strong pressure and tension of survival and curb the evil driven by greed; On the other hand, due to the moderate utilization of natural resources, the harmonious relationship with nature has been maintained. On the contrary, those who hold a high consumption concept tend to plunder and squander natural resources. If local resources are limited, it is easy to have ambitions to expand outward, and belligerence will lead to bloody wars. It can be seen that simple consumption viewing seems to lack the modern consciousness of "market efficiency" (so-called consumption promoting production), but it is a necessary condition for human peace and happiness.

Under the guidance of this concept, human beings can rationally use some renewable resources in nature for their own basic survival, such as wood, water conservancy, plants, fruits and vegetables. And non-renewable resources, such as coal, oil, metals, etc. , can only be used moderately as a last resort and must be used very carefully. If they spend too much, it will be an act of profligacy. The plunder of nature will eventually lead to corresponding disasters, such as earthquake, flood, tsunami, drought, desertification, acid rain and other direct retribution, and the hidden curse and chain reaction will become more and more serious. Therefore, only by diluting greed, conforming to nature and protecting and respecting the ecological environment can happiness and good luck be achieved.

In a word, the exhortation of "being kind and not killing" not only makes the society peaceful, but also effectively maintains the complete, orderly and benign interaction of the biological chain. Equality and compassion for the ruthless world comes from the concept of right and wrong. Its modest behavior of caring for flowers and plants, not cutting down trees and not digging underground mines can also effectively maintain a clean and pleasant ecological environment. A frugal lifestyle can maintain the earth's resources for a long time, relieve the pressure of survival, improve the quality of life and show spiritual wisdom. There are many eco-environmental ethics in Jing Zong. The three points outlined above are not only remedies for the imbalance of modern eco-environment, but also a panacea for revival.

Through the ecological crisis of modern society, we can also measure the increasingly sinister mentality of human beings. In order to have a pure earth, we must first eliminate the greed, ignorance and poison in human heart, and at the same time carry out psychological and external environmental protection, so as to improve the ecological environment crisis, otherwise all good expectations will eventually fail.

3. Pure sects and world peace

Peace is a prerequisite for the happy existence of mankind. However, since the appearance of human beings, people on earth have been living in the shadow and fear of war. Since the last century, there have been hundreds of wars all over the world. With the development of science and technology, the lethality of modern weapons is increasing. At present, the number of nuclear warheads in the world has increased dramatically, and its total explosion energy is equivalent to thousands of times of the total energy of bombs used in World War II. According to relevant experiments, as long as 1 0,000 nuclear bombs are dropped, it will produce an explosive force of 1 100 million equivalent, which will cause a terrible nuclear winter and eventually destroy the human beings on this earth. In addition, modern biological, chemical and laser weapons are more destructive and lethal than nuclear warheads. If World War III breaks out, people on the earth may be in danger of extinction.

In the nuclear age, the choice between survival and destruction is grim for mankind. People of insight call for world peace and provide various solutions to avoid nuclear disaster. Einstein once said: "Atomic fission has changed everything in the world, but it has not changed the way of thinking of human beings. Therefore, mankind is heading for an unprecedented disaster. " It must be very sad for the scientist who started the curtain of the atomic age (his mass-energy interconversion formula e = mc2 provided a theoretical basis for atomic fission, and wrote to President Roosevelt to suggest building an atomic bomb).

To solve the disaster of nuclear war, we must change the way of thinking of human beings, and change the way of thinking of human beings from the quagmire of greed, plunder, hatred and egoism. For this, pure sectarian culture is a bitter medicine.

Buddha knows that all beings in her mother-in-law will create all kinds of bad karma under the drive of greed and delusion. "The strong are weak, but they turn to thieves. Killing and killing, overlapping and devouring. If you don't know how to cultivate good, there is no way to fight evil. After being punished, I am naturally interested. The gods remember that offenders are unforgivable. " (Boundless buddha said life)

All sentient beings in this world bully the weak and fear the hard, the law of the jungle, unjust confrontation with each other, cruel injuries, snakes can swallow frogs, frogs eat earthworms, kill the wounded, and do bad things widely. Fools sow evil causes, and naturally they cannot escape the bitter consequences. Hua Bao, who was bitter and resentful before his death, finally fell into three evil karma (beast, hungry ghost and hell) and wandered among them, suffering all his life and never came out again. Seeing this, the Buddha preached Buddhism with endless sadness, so that all living beings could have fun from suffering. He taught us to treat others with compassion, equality and justice, and to solve the difficulties in the world with humility and humiliation. All beings are integrated and self-sufficient. Benefiting others is self-interest, killing others is suicide. So be clear, because be careful of the fruit, break the evil and cultivate the good, if so, there will be good results and the world will be at peace.

As the Buddha said: "When the Buddha was traveling, the country and the city met, which was not ignorance. The world is at peace, and the sun and the moon are bright. The storm is coming, and the disaster can't afford it. The country is rich and the people are safe, and war is useless. Respect Dexing Ren and cultivate courtesy. " (Boundless buddha said life)

It can be seen that the concept of pure sectarian culture is greatly conducive to the creation of world peace, and it is wonderful to sing with the Confucian thought of "harmony is precious" in China. Today, when the cold war pattern is broken and the world is moving towards multipolarization, the spiritual qualities of Buddhism, such as compassion, tolerance and tolerance, have played a great role in easing world peace and ethnic contradictions. The concept of equality between pure sects is a powerful antidote to social organisms increasingly influenced by evil forces.

4. Jing Zong culture and moral construction in China.

Morality is a necessary prerequisite for human survival and development, and it is also the cornerstone of personal career. Morality has a dual value structure, and Tao is the ultimate value system. It is invisible, but it fills the world and people's hearts and is the source of all behavioral values. Morality is a tool value system, and it is the embodiment of Tao at the behavioral level. Tao and virtue are the relations between body and use, reason and things. It can be seen that the word morality embodies the ultimate concern and practice of human beings for reality. Throughout the history of Chinese and foreign cultural development, we can see that the moral level is directly related to the civilized quality of this society. Since ancient times, our country has respected Taoism and founded the country by virtue. China people infiltrated by Confucian culture are sincere, generous, prudent and self-disciplined. China's traditional society has benefited from this for thousands of years. From modern times, there has been an unprecedented moral disorder in our society (I don't want to go into details about what I have seen and heard and the immoral behavior contained in the media).

There are many reasons for the moral decline in our country. The most fundamental thing is that many people don't believe in cause and effect, and even laugh at cause and effect, thinking that honesty is stupid and evil is capable. Under the control of this mentality, some people slide into unscrupulous and reckless ways, and even if there is a legal ban, they will take risks. In addition, the market economy drives greed and destroys the already fragile moral dam. More and more people have lost their filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, honesty and shame (commonly known as the eight characters of death), and the reality of moral vacuum is shocking. Whether the moral culture of contemporary China can be rebuilt is not only related to the development of China's market economy and modernization, but also to the rise and fall of our ancient civilization.

In view of the corruption of China people's moral mentality and the inversion of values, we should first advocate the idea that good and evil are rewarded. The causal law of good and evil is the basic theory used by Confucian and Buddhist saints to explain all relations in the world. Good causes must have good results, which is called good causes and good results. Evil causes will produce bad consequences, which is called evil causes and bad consequences. The Buddha said: "People in the heavens squirm and so on, all want to be evil ... They don't know how to cultivate good, and evil can't fight it ... so there is poverty, loneliness, blindness, stupidity and evil, and even madness." There are also noble people with wealth, talent and knowledge, all of which are caused by Su Shi's kindness and filial piety, cultivation of goodness and accumulation of virtue. "("buddha said life is boundless ")

It means that in this world, the karma of heaven, man, beast, hungry ghost and hell, the complex pattern of mutual fumigation of seeds and present, cause and effect are interdependent and there is no difference. Doing good is a blessing, doing evil is a curse, and the fortunes depend on each other. The joys and sorrows are all caused by oneself, and no one can replace anyone. Good people who do good deeds can enter more extraordinary happiness from happiness and open deeper and wider wisdom from wisdom; Evil people create evil, and evil will worsen from pain to worse pain, and slide from stupidity to darker stupidity. Only the Buddha with five bright eyes can understand these complicated situations, and can he declare compassion. Since the promulgation of the Buddhist law of causality between good and evil, I don't know how many rebels and thieves are chilling and how many giants are afraid.

Confucius became the Spring and Autumn Annals, but the rebel thief was afraid. What are you afraid of? Afraid of the notoriety behind him. However, if you don't trust people in past and future generations, this false name is not binding on people born with fear. It can only show that human life is impermanent and will be rewarded after death. Those who are disloyal and unfilial turn into animals and hungry ghosts, but they know that their treachery and tricks have been exhausted and pay the price for it. I created all his troubles and troubles. Looking back on the struggle between power and interests, I don't think the ice is falling apart. It can be seen that the role of karma in suppressing evil and promoting good is profound and huge.

After pointing out the truth of the cause and effect of good and evil, the master taught all beings to observe precepts and do good deeds, and to be blessed by heaven and man in the near future will achieve supreme bodhi in the far. People who lead an honest and clean life should practice the three blessings of clean business. Its first blessing is the human blessing, which includes four contents: honoring adoptive parents, serving teachers, being good at not killing, and practicing ten virtues (ten virtues: one not killing, two not stealing, three not doing evil, four not lying, five not swearing, seven not talking, eight not greedy, nine not coquetry, and ten not stupid). In real life, most of the evil deeds that people hate are not beyond the scope of these four kinds of sexual crimes. If more people in China hold the Five Commandments and Ten Virtues, the social and moral atmosphere in our country will be fundamentally improved.

If we further develop bodhicitta and recite Buddha Xiu De, our society will be a pure land at present. It can be seen that knowing its cause and effect is an indispensable cornerstone of China's moral reconstruction, and it is also Jing Zong's contribution to improving the people's hearts in the world. Master Yin Guang once counted and said: "Cause and effect, the saints in the world rule the world, except the power of all beings." At present, if you don't regard cause and effect as the urgent task of saving the country and the people, no matter how clever your morality is, it will exist in name only. "These merciful and bitter words of the Buddha are worthy of vigilance in this modern era of comprehensive moral depravity, and we should regard them as a guide to life. In our hearts, we should really build a dam of karma to divert the flood of greed and turbid water, enhance individual moral personality, purify people's hearts and build a harmonious society.
