Lesson 37 "On Bodhi Daoji"

Through thinking about the impermanence of death and the three evils, I realized that everything except the three treasures was useless and raised my heart of conversion. And by reading the three treasures of merit, I raised my sincere heart of conversion. In that last class, I learned the merits of chanting Buddha and reciting language. In this lesson, the Buddha's conception of merit and career, as well as the significance of thinking about Buddha's merit to practice. I think that the most basic goal of thinking about the merits and demerits of Buddha is to have confidence in the Three Treasures and to have admiration and conversion to Buddha and Bodhisattva. To improve a little further, we must meet the sage Si Qi, and encourage ourselves to start from the local area and cultivate good karma until we achieve all kinds of merits and achieve the quality of the Buddha. In this lesson, I once again found the answer to why ordinary people's lives are bound by troubles. That is the quality of life that an ordinary person takes "I" as the center everywhere. The Buddha can know everything and take compassion as his life, just because he quit the setting of "I" and entered infinity from finite. Conversion to Sambo is the foundation of Buddhism. If you don't pay attention to conversion, you will lose the foundation of Buddhism. Bodhisattva is the foundation of practice. If you don't pay attention to bodhisattva, you will lose the foundation of practice. If we ignore these two fundamentals, practice will not be implemented.

Looking back at myself, the wisdom and virtue of Buddha is to know the origin, manifestation and emptiness of all laws. The reason why my understanding is so narrow is because my heart is obsessed with one thing and I can't feel comfortable. The Buddha's compassion and virtue is an endless sorrow wish. To learn Buddhism is to give up the hearts of ordinary people. The tutor said that the world-famous achievements should break the set and adhere to the law. So how to achieve it? I think I understand it literally, but I can't actually do it. It's a bit of an armchair strategist. In fact, this also requires observation and practice in the seat. My fixed course in the seat is occasionally diligent and lax, which does not form a continuous endurance function, while repairing under the seat weakens my self-discipline in serving the public. I have encountered a lot of troubles in volunteer work recently, and I always feel that things are very complicated. Meetings, all kinds of learning, a steady stream. I have to start at 5: 30 in the morning, study at night and study by myself. There are many miscellaneous things in your own world. The original altruism has changed a little. When I am upset, I also ask myself why I want to be a volunteer and what I want. What heart should I repair? Can you fix it without doing something? After asking myself this question once, it seems that my worries will be better or I can figure it out. After all, I still don't have enough sympathy, which is exactly what I want to cultivate and exercise through volunteer work. At this time, in the process of training, I let that normal heart get the upper hand. Is there something wrong? Not to mention using a heart without income, the road is long and its Xiu Yuan Xi. I always keep what I do to make everyone happy and recognize me. If not many people react, I will feel that I have a problem, and so on. To get to the bottom of it, I am eager for other people's love words, which is also a kind of greed. But it's just not good enough now, and there is still room for further efforts! Open your mind and aim at the great bodhisattva in our class first.

I seem to believe in astrology and divination more than Sambo, just like Master said? Why is this happening? I still remember when I didn't know whether to get married or not at the beginning of my marriage, I went to ask a master to tell my fortune, wondering if it would be more hasty to give my happiness in my life to others? The master said that my husband and I are divinatory symbols. As long as I change my attitude and way of doing things, the adjustment of family relations will be good, but it will be bad if I still have my own temper as before. Looking back now, people are ambiguous. With the in-depth study of Buddhism, constant self-review and self-adjustment, family relations will definitely change with my changes. This is what Master told me a long time ago, and this is what the Buddha said thousands of years ago. Is it stupid for me to seek wisdom with flawless wisdom? After all, I didn't improve my confidence. Why don't you improve your confidence? More because you didn't study Buddhism deeply at that time and just entered the third-level school. If you don't sincerely convert to Sambo and don't know who to trust, you are in a state of being anxious to seek medical treatment. And more importantly, there is no correct view! Everything is changeable. How can I control it? Only my mind can change.

The merit of Buddhism is that body, language and meaning are inseparable and benefit all beings. Without interruption, the tutor said that now we should make a wish every day, practice meditation on the bench, initiate bodhicitta, and try our best to be altruistic under the bench. To achieve destiny, we must start with intention. Compared with yourself, is it true to take the oath of class every day? I thought about it, but I don't think it's true, because I hope the initiation of bodhicitta can be realized in a short time, even in an instant. I am not familiar with it myself now, let alone at such a time. At the very least, I have to complete the whole procedure in course reservation, so that every course reservation can be of quality and significance, and this continuous endurance cannot be lost. Master mercifully asked us to constantly strengthen this bodhicitta from the very beginning of fellow initiates' classes, so our initial intention was not to ask for blessings from others, but to learn from others and even use the best bodhisattvas. Therefore, the more you learn, the happier you will be. The tutor said: a person is afraid of no way. As long as there is a way, do you still have to worry about food and clothing? I think there will be many difficulties on this road, and there will be many ideas that I am worried about now, which will be repeated, but I can't leave this road. I think as long as we stick to our knowledge and have the right direction, as long as we keep moving forward every day, the road is far from a problem.

Thank you brothers!

Sanbaoding!
