Why do some gurus drink and smoke?

Master Xi replied: Yes, that's right. Our society is diverse and the crowd is complex. We monks also come from the public. The Buddha is pure and solemn, the dharma is extraordinary, and the monk Bao is also a Buddhist in Futian. However, some monks in the monk group may have different performances, so Master Yin Guang taught us to call: But good-looking, these stains on monks may also reflect a phenomenon of society, right? This phenomenon in today's society is also my own karma, so when I see this phenomenon, I should repent my karma and have great confidence in the three treasures. The universe is dark, people are all night, and the world is evil. We really want to convert to Sambo and get close to good knowledge. What he said here is the so-called guru, because the guru depends on whether it is passed down or not, because of the commonness. For example, some lamas are also very ordinary monks in Tibet, not called lamas, but called Zaba, which is ordinary, but sometimes the motivation to come to Han is not necessarily the motivation of the Bodhisattva, and even they can't control themselves. But after the Han Dynasty, everyone thinks that people who wear that dress are guru. You said I know this is a real guru, which is very unique, so you don't have to. We cann't pursue it anymore It's not good for you to pursue it any further. Why? Because it's different, you can't blame Jigong! Right? Because he has his special realm, but he can show it for him, so he deliberately shows that. He belongs to a special group of monks, so you can't just say that not all monks are like this, can you? If you don't like that, you like that. So-called that, why don't you learn from our master Haitao? Be a disciple of master Haitao. Don't say that, because you don't know his realm. Doesn't mean you don't smoke or drink, so you must be taller than him. Let me tell you something. You are diligent in practicing the Ten Good Dharmas and work hard in everything. You are not necessarily higher than him. For example, if we take a prayer wheel and turn it, I turn it and you turn it. It's not certain which one of us turns well and which one turns well. Maybe you turn it well, but the prayer wheel turns forward and backward. We have a common bodhicitta and a bodhicitta of victory. There is also vulgarity and righteousness when turning the wheel; Are you born with a crutch or a complete crutch? Whether it's a deep understanding of deception, the unity of body and life, or the combination of truth and vulgarity, these are different realms. It doesn't mean that your hand is turning and he isn't, that is, you must be tall, but not necessarily. It is possible that he doesn't spin as high as you. He is spinning with righteousness, and yours is spinning with vulgarity. You are spinning at the same time, just like acrobatics. You can spin several plates with one hand, right? If you can turn the plate with your feet, you can achieve that kind of kung fu. What he didn't turn may be higher than the kung fu you are turning-winning righteousness over reason. Therefore, the Chu Emperor did not know the boundary between the two places, and the Chu Emperor and Bodhisattva did not know the boundary between the two places. That Chu Emperor Bodhisattva seems to have as many sentient beings as three thousand generations, all of them are Chu Emperor Bodhisattvas, which add up to less than a Didi Bodhisattva. I told you, this is different. Zen also has such a founder. Before he died, he wanted to say: I have so many disciples. I think how many disciples really have confidence in me? On that day, he said, "When our ancestors died, we went to the streets to buy a few catties of meat. Disciples want to say that we should buy meat for our ancestors. Some disciples thought about it. The ancestor of the master's family is not a master, but he is at home, so it is ok to provide some meat. That makes sense. Some people sometimes mutter to themselves, "How did this master go to the streets to buy meat and then come to the Buddhist temple to worship his ancestors? "As a result, well, after the meat is ready, everyone attended the ceremony. After the ceremony, Master said it was a pity to lose this piece of meat, so he gave it to me. There are already, for example, 100 people in front. Master goes shopping to buy meat. This has made, for example, 50 people feel uneasy, and they began to whisper: Master, how did this happen? I wanted to deny the master a little, but the master ate the meat again, and 25 of the remaining 50 people began to lose confidence again. How can master eat meat by himself? I want to eat meat myself, but I found a reason to worship my ancestors. Twenty-five of them lost confidence and left. The master said, well, the rest have confidence in me. You see, this is very strange, and sometimes it is deliberately tempted. The same is true of the venerable Noba and the venerable Dinoba. What did the venerable Dinoba do on purpose? He is a great master who guards the north gate of Nantah. He is very powerful, but this deity shows him that you are still alive and dead. Your master's name is Dinoba, and he is in a certain city. You must find him. He is your master. So, he resigned from his post in Panditha, the university gate, and then went to that city to look for, look for, look for, but couldn't find one. As a result, there was only one beggar named Dinoba in this city, so he went to the beggar and kowtowed to him. I'll follow you. He saw it. Why are you following me? Are you following me to beg? Then he followed me every day. If you deny me, I will follow, because God told me. Then he followed. Why did Master suddenly want to eat? He quickly asked for it with a bowl, and then he provided it to master. Then one day, Master was the master in his mind, and Master had not recognized him as an apprentice. We are very simple now. It is very simple for us to worship master now. Actually, strictly speaking, it's not that simple. If you really worship master, it is not good to be an apprentice. How about being an apprentice? It's not easy to do it either. Tell me about the master and climb to the top of the master to be choosy. Is this a disciple or something? Obviously wronged creditors. Let's not talk about that. Let's say our respected master Haitao, if we drive a luxury car, how many people will be in bite the tongue? It has something to do with how master took such an advanced car. This monk is so powerful that he takes such an advanced car, right? Don't sit in his house, don't you think? That was provided by the disciples. The car that Master is riding now was provided by mainland disciples. I said it was better as soon as I saw it. They told me: Master, our master is very low-key, afraid to take a good car, for fear that someone will lose confidence in taking a good car. Look at the apprentice, this apprentice is enough for that! Not that, don't say people who smoke and drink, don't smoke or drink. Good things, such as Fa Xiu and others, will anyone slander us after they are released? Can you tell the world? So I have been trying to separate my heart from others, and my own separation is also very serious. For example, this person only has his own reason, so my master told me: you don't know the realm of others, you should look clean, but we should look at the seats above. We ordinary people should never learn that. We shouldn't smoke and drink ourselves. If you want to smoke and drink, then I won't recognize that apprentice. Why? I want to quit smoking and drinking, because I am an expert. I hate alcohol and tobacco myself. But I dare not say, if you really have a guru, he has his realm, he has his, I don't know what he is thinking, but as me, I certainly don't. I must stay away from him if he smokes, so I can't smell the smoke. Because it's true, he said he saw it with his own eyes, and I've heard of such a guru, but I don't advocate people learning like that, so even Jigong said so. Jigong confiscated his disciples all his life. You can worship Jigong as a teacher, or you can chew a dog's leg and drink. That's not true. Therefore, some people, like our master, just build a jungle and a temple, and generally don't dare to offer sacrifices to Jigong, because once you build a statue of Jigong there, some people will get confused and he will offer sacrifices to wine and meat. He said that Jigong drank and ate meat, so in order not to do so, Master generally refused to shape this Buddha statue, but he respected Jigong from the bottom of his heart. Jigong himself said, ". Jigong himself said so, because he showed that he was in rags. He went to the store to buy a chicken. The owner of that shop used to do well in business. Before doing business, he always ate first and then collected money. We in China are very nice. This is very polite. Let's eat first and then collect money. I still do. Generally, when we go to a vegetarian restaurant, we always check out first, right? The same is true, but the boss sees the owner in rags and wants to eat chicken, but he is also a customer, right? I'm afraid he is in rags. What if he doesn't pay after eating? He muttered to himself as he cut the chicken. He's worried. He can't do it without it. If I give it to him, I'm afraid he won't give it. Worried all his life, he picked up a chicken leg and ate it himself. He thought he couldn't figure it out anyway. After eating well and putting the plates together, he realized that one was missing, so he took it out and gave it to Jigong. As a result, Jigong ate meat and drank wine. Sure enough, he patted his ass and left. Jigong said, "I won't pay. You eat my drumstick, and you lose my drumstick. " The boss thought, how does he know if I eat chicken legs? Anyway, I can't say it clearly now! He refused to admit that I don't miss your drumsticks. He said that you obviously don't miss my drumsticks, so I won't pay. Then, after that, everyone watched more. Look at this poor monk. You saw you arguing with him and breaking the contract, and everyone was watching. Then Jigong Living Buddha said to him, "Everyone has proved that if he misses my drumstick, I don't have to pay for it." Everyone said, "Yes, yes, you can't hand it in without it." Everyone quarreled together, and the boss also said that I was not short and had to pay, but how did you prove that I was not short? What happened to this living Buddha? Spit out a live chicken from your mouth. Spit it out, and there's a chicken with one leg jumping there. Look, a leg is missing! The boss stood there on the spot, not bad. When everyone saw it, they quickly kowtowed: holy monk, holy monk, right? There are many more. The largest Confucian temple in mainland China is called Guo Miao Temple. Have you ever been to Wenzhou? There is a Guo Miao Temple in Wenzhou, Zhejiang. There is a clock hanging in Guo Miao Temple, which is the treasure of the town temple. What time is it now? It's called pig's head clock. Where did the pig clock come from? That is, one day, a host came to live with them. He's weird. He's different. Some deacons were unhappy when they saw it. The abbot monk said, "Leave him alone. Let him go and set him free. " As a result, he is not only not free, but also runs into the street every day. What does he do? Go to alms-pig head, go to alms again. He doesn't eat in the temple. After eating out, he buried the pig's head and its bones in one place. As a result, he was hung in this temple for three months. After the expiration of three months, he intends to leave. The deacon thought: leave as early as possible, as far away as possible, and never come back. As a result, he found the hanging list. As soon as the abbot monk opened it, he said that the abbot monk is a Taoist and can tolerate my staying here for three months, but I am particularly embarrassed to harass the residents. I spent three months begging for residents, and you went to dig somewhere. As a result, the abbot monk said, "Come on, let's take the guy to dig a place." Don't talk about this place, this place is where monks eat pig heads and bury pig bones. When the Japanese invaded China, they knew this clock for hundreds of years, so they were called the treasure of Zhensi by the people, and the Japanese wanted to take it to Japan. The result had a miraculous effect-the clock button didn't move over there, so you can pull it anyway. What should you do as a result? The clock button is broken and can't be pulled, so you can still see the clock when you go to Wenzhou Guo Miao Temple, but the clock button is broken and there is no clock button. Think about your family. What you call a guru, no matter what you do, you can't underestimate it. I'll tell you something even more powerful, that is, the guru. We practice the pharmacist method every day. There is a living Buddha in Tibet who is revered as the incarnation of the pharmacist Buddha. Is it awesome? But you can't stand his behavior at all. I'm telling you, when he treats you, he is a bit like Kikuji Palace, rubbing off a ball or pulling out a hair. All you have to do is smoke and smoke, but he doesn't take you seriously What should he treat? Specializing in those living buddhas, very powerful. He treated them when they were sick, and the treatment was terrible. You know what's even scarier? If you have a heart attack, he will treat you, and he will operate on you at the scene with a knife. Do you dare to cure him? Some of them are good! Sometimes when you have a heart attack with a gun, you will point a gun at your heart. They told me that a living Buddha had a heart attack, so they treated him and took a gun, which "touched" his heart. Ok, the heart attack is over, scared, not scared to death, heart attack, how about it? Don't take that for heart disease, is it easy to scare people to death? But if you look at your heart, he didn't just hit him. He came to treat him. He is confident. He knows that this person is a very extraordinary person, not an ordinary person. We just think like ordinary people's hearts. He's great. He hit me with a gun without a trace, and the knife went in with a bang, scaring you to death! You said you had a stomachache. Well, he took a knife for you and put it in the bucket, but after a knife, he pulled it out. Strange! There's not a trace. Is it awesome? He is a very powerful man. Where can I meet such a person? I'll tell you when you see him. Some of them are unique karma. Generally speaking, this Buddhism is very mysterious, without eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, colorless, sound, fragrance, taste, touch and dharma, but we believe in eyes and ears every day. Some practitioners have long gone beyond the eyes, ears, nose and tongue, beyond color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch and law. I tell you, I don't have this ability, but many practitioners have this ability. The color is empty. He sees that the color is empty, and then he puts his hand on the post. The past has come again, and the pillar seems to have nothing. We don't know now, ordinary people to ordinary people, ordinary teachers to ordinary apprentices, I dare not smoke and drink, right? One day I will learn as much as I do, so I will test you. Do you have confidence? If you have confidence, I can pull you to Elysium with one hand and then come back. There used to be such a master. Do you want to go to Elysium? Follow me if you like, and then a rainbow will appear outside the window. Master's disciples will step on the rainbow and go to Elysium. Dragon Palace is very rich. Disciple said, we can eat this, we can walk, follow Master, walk … to a beautiful lake. Master's apprentice stepped down, and the apprentice became more and more afraid, almost reaching his neck. But it is strange to find that this dress seems to be dry. Walking, the master was able to catch his breath, so he slowly got off the Dragon Palace. Sure enough, the Dragon Palace is full of golden treasures. Therefore, it is often the identity of the dragon lady that can present treasures in Thangka. This is the body of a dragon, with a woman on it, coming out of the water with a treasure plate, like this. That's why the master took everyone down to confess and then came back after dinner. It's really incredible that this master and this apprentice only know. This kind of master, we can't meet in the last days of France. If he has kung fu, will he appear? If he appears, it will be a crowded place. How many people does that person want to go to? Does he want to test you? It is certain to test you, whether you are true or not, whether you have confidence in him, whether you have surpassed your own psychological obstacles, and whether Master's various behaviors are your parting heart, whether you have surpassed your parting heart, and whether you have surpassed your parting heart. How to learn Buddhism from Master? Our parting heart is that self-discipline and law popularization are our karma and the foundation of our reincarnation; You can't break through this first one, can you? Right? That's it. Even sometimes, you see, we have a very good fate with the distinguished master Haitao, and we often preach Dharma together. Some people will pull us together to PK, and some people will think that Master Xi is so powerful that I unconsciously gave us a PK. Is this your parting heart? It is everyone's parting heart. Everything I have is blessed by our great master. I didn't get his blessing. I'm going to Taiwan Province Province to sit cross-legged and ask for money, and no one will give me a lecture, right? It really is. Everything is his blessing, but I know that my blessing is very small and my ability is very small. I can't do these things-I can't run a TV station, a separate TV station or even a radio station. Blessing and wisdom can't be compared. Master knew how to use it as soon as he saw the man. I don't know, but I am confused. The master's conversion card was named after a thick stack, which soon filled up. I have to think about it for a long time, but blessing and wisdom can't be compared. what can I do? I just concentrate on one small thing. A person's ability is small, and he can't do it if he wants to do small things, so this, I know that some people will now. In fact, we have the same goal and are all working hard. Wizards can't PK or separate, that is, your own eyes can see you,' but look at all the seats,' why? It is too deep. When you see monks in the future, anyway, can you separate them with our ill feelings? No, you should respect anyone who has karma. Just like our host said! A monk saw a scorpion fall into the water below and reached out to save it. Then the scorpion bit him and threw it away. Then he reached down and was bitten again, and instinctively turned over again. The third time, he wanted to be ready. Anyway, he pressed it out and saved it. Someone asked the master, "Master, the scorpion bit you twice. Why didn't you bite?" Have you heard the story told by Master? Yes, I will repeat it, because it is very worthwhile. Why? Master said, "Scorpion stings people, which is its instinct, but I want to save it, which is my instinct to become a monk." Compassion is our instinct, and we should also cultivate it. It is our instinct to respect the three treasures, no matter what the monk shows, right? We think we are followers of the Three Treasures. You can't understand this, you have to repent yourself. If you don't like this, in our last Dharma era, you see that our karma is heavy and Buddhism is complete. Why didn't you see it, did you? In the past, Lohan was also perfect. Why didn't you see them? So what we see is really our karma, but you can't lose the three treasures, and you can't face it with an impure heart. The living Buddha I mentioned earlier is really amazing. He just died two years ago. The old man is revered as the incarnation of the pharmacist Buddha in Tibet. Is that how the pharmacist Buddha sees a doctor? But this is quite rare in our Buddhist circles, and we can't look at it with a general eye.
