How to solve the biggest obstacle in past lives?

From the perspective of pure land Sect, what is the biggest obstacle to our death? Lust for concubines; This is the biggest obstacle in your heart.

Why can't Amitabha's forty-eight wishes save us? It took Amitabha a long time to achieve this Buddha name, and all the merits and demerits are attached to this Buddha name. Let us remember it, but it can't inspire Amitabha's merits and demerits?

Because we have ideological obstacles-lust for women-love is not important, and women will not be born. Therefore, through observation, we should turn the idea of lust for concubines into the idea of bliss. If our thoughts don't change, you can't live if you study Buddhism, because no matter what sect you are, you can't deny the truth that all dharmas are born of reason, and Pure Land Sect is no exception.

If the heart remains unchanged, we can die, which means that the law is other life-without this heart, there is an external leader in charge of our life, just like God's thought. The induction of heretics is to climb outward, and my life is up to him. I go to heaven and I go to hell, which is decided by others-all methods are different; Buddhists don't have this kind of thinking, but outsiders do.

Buddhism tells us that all laws are born of reason, which is the knowledge of various Buddhist sects. So what is karma? It's your mind. How should we change our ideas? There are three kinds of reflections in learning classics:

First, observe the following facts:

Truth has been sleeping in our hearts for too long, so Zen often says: Master, wake up, you can't sleep anymore! In our hearts, we often regard thieves as our fathers and delusions as our true colors. In fact, delusion is just a habit we created in the past. When we keep remembering what is self-nature and self-purification, and keep remembering that there is nothing, the delusion will naturally disappear; Because it is the illusion of the integration of karma and obstacles, we can extinguish the power of illusion by constantly observing the truth, which is helpful to our dying mindfulness.

Second, look at the pros and cons of the name:

A puritan should believe that when your Buddha name is present, the name of Amitabha has the power to be saved. So you have to train yourself. In the name of 100% refuge, 100% must die! Pure land Sect is not 99%. If you miss one point, you will lose. You see, when Hu Yi talked about self-confidence, he wanted real self-confidence, while Yin Guang said he wanted the will to make a decision. Why does he emphasize truth? Why emphasize decision?

Because the key to inductive intersection is here! Daojiao induction has nothing to do with the number of Buddhists you read, but has a lot to do with your confession. Of course, faith can only be cultivated through constant observation, and there is no other way. The Buddha cannot give it to us. By constantly observing the merits of Amitabha's name, we can eliminate disasters, bless and increase our good roots, and we can feel the acceptance of Amitabha at the end of our lives ... You will be familiar with it if you continue to observe it.

As long as we keep thinking about everything, we will have a certain concentration, which is called calculation and learning. Therefore, by observing the merits of the name, we will have firm confidence in the name Amitabha.

Third, the solemn observation of the pure land:

Many people have neglected this place. Don't forget that the purpose of chanting Buddha is not to eliminate karma, but to survive in the pure land. According to the thinking of Pure Land Sect, in the meaning of Master Hu Yi's Amitabha Sutra, the whole planning of Pure Land is that we want to live in Pure Land, but I can't, so we must rely on the help of Buddha's name.

That's why there is a process when there is a goal. Many people read Buddha without a goal, and he doesn't know why they read Buddha. Anyway, they have no direction and no goal in chanting Buddha. In the final analysis, the Buddha's name is only a blessing to people, because there is no desire to die.

Many people are unfamiliar with the solemnity of the pure land. How can they have fun? Many of you immigrated from abroad, some from Taiwan Province Province and some from China ... Before you came to the United States, you knew nothing about the United States. Will you come to America? No You must consider the advantages of America. Only through thinking can you break through the past and immigrate to this place.

Change is not easy. If you are very unfamiliar with the solemnity of the pure land and so familiar with the world of women, then you will only go to one place in your next life, of course, to the place you are familiar with and the realm you are familiar with. Therefore, we must first understand the solemnity of the pure land, slowly cultivate the pure land, and produce the will to die for the survival of Bodhi Road.

When the water of life flows from the past to the present, it doesn't matter how you go in the past, because the past can't be changed, and the past has passed.

Buddhism attaches importance to the future, and the future is endless. We must prepare for dying mindfulness by observing the merits of truth, fame and the solemnity of pure land. You are all ready for these three preparations. Mention the Buddha's name again, recite the Buddha the next moment, and recite the Buddha accordingly. The question is, are you ready? He is more anxious than we are, and his heart is full of compassion.

Therefore, we should correct our thoughts by learning and listening to Buddhism, such as rational thinking. At this time, if you remember the Buddha's name again, you can truly feel the Daojiao, eliminate the disaster in this world and die in the pure land.

In fact, the main purpose of this course is to prepare for the past life. Well, this paragraph is about obeying the solemnity of pure land to stimulate our will.
