Wisdom Quotations of Master Xingyun

Everyone has a different life situation from others. Sometimes, when you see the success of others' careers and think about your own disappointments, you will sigh. Time, luck and life. ? I feel sorry for my fate, and what's more, I blame God for playing tricks on my fate. But what is fate? What are the forces that control fate? How to change your destiny? Listen to Master Xing Yun's revelation about life and destiny, read patiently, and wish good luck and constant companionship.

First, why do people have fate?

The situation of a person's life often changes his fate because of various factors. Some people change their fate because of one person; Some people change their lives for a dollar, some people walk out of a completely different life because of one thing, and even make a world of difference for a sentence or an idea. This idea may be a saint or a fool. This idea is everywhere above, and he searches for the green void, and below, the yellow spring, so how to capture the mind and mindfulness is a task that cannot be ignored.

Second, what is the power to control fate?

1, used to control fate

Buddha said: troubles are hard to break, and habits are even harder to get rid of. Bad habits not only make us suffer for life, but also take away our suicide note. Habits will affect our lives and become natural and deep-rooted habits. For example, if a person is grumpy, abusive, used to it, has no popularity and can't get help in doing things, then the hope of success will naturally decrease. Some people have developed the bad habit of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, losing everything, separating their wives and children, and ruining their happy lives in their own hands. Some people even cheat and betray their beliefs. As a result, although they were cheated for a while, they isolated themselves from others.

2. superstition controls fate

Speaking of taboo superstition, it is quite common in our society. If a fortune teller can tell others' fortune, how can he work out his own destiny? Some people can't sweep the floor outside during the Spring Festival, but they can only sweep it inside because they are afraid of sweeping the money out. Some people say that women should not read the diamond sutra when they are pregnant, because the power of diamond is too great, and it will wash away the fetus. In fact, the Diamond Sutra is a Prajna Sutra, which will not only harm the fetus, but also enable children to get good prenatal education and increase their wisdom by reciting during pregnancy. Superstitious behavior, like the same rope, binds our hands and feet and cannot move. Superstitious behavior is like a dark cloud, which casts a shadow over our lives and prevents us from seeing the light of our own nature.

3. Emotion controls fate

As the scripture says, if you don't feel heavy, you won't have a wife. Some people struggle to get the shackles of fame, but they can't get rid of the entanglement of love. Or family, or friendship, or persistent love between men and women, living in a quagmire of pain. To get rid of the bondage of feelings, we should hold the sword of wisdom, embrace an open mind and control feelings instead of being controlled by them.

4. Power controls fate

Power is also one of the factors that control our destiny. People often pay more attention to the pursuit of power after they have money. The so-called wealth and power are more powerful, but the desire for power can easily corrode our innocent nature. How many people lost their precious wealth in the power of scolding three and drinking four; Some people taste the power, but they can't taste the real taste of life. The power of power to influence our lives is enormous.

The greatest power to control our destiny is karma. The so-called karma is the result of our actions, including what we say in our mouths, what we think in our hearts and what our bodies do. Generally known as the three industries. There is a saying:? Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, just for coming early and coming late. ? Karma can be divided into good karma and bad karma. We have created good or bad karma ourselves. When the time is ripe, we must repay these karma. It is absolutely uncomfortable for karma to control our destiny. Although karma can control our destiny, it is ourselves who control karma. If we can improve our life, do not create evil deeds and plant good roots widely, our fate will be bright and flat.

How can the karma that controls our destiny be rewarded? According to classic records, it is reported first by weight, that is, by heavier industries; Or reward habits; Or be rewarded with strong memories. In terms of time, some people are rewarded in this life, some people are rewarded in the afterlife, and some people are rewarded in the afterlife. Like fruit trees, some have been planted for several years before they bear fruit, while others soon bear numerous fruits. No matter one year, two years or even several years, if you want to eat sweet fruits, you must sow them in a down-to-earth manner. Similarly, if we want to enjoy good results, we must plant good karma.

Third, the way to change your destiny

Ideas can change fate.

After becoming a monk, the Buddha revealed to us the truth that the world is full of pain, and further told us the way to relieve the pain-cultivating the eight right paths. The most important thing in the eight right paths is to establish a correct view, and the other seven right paths have a criterion basis so as not to make mistakes. The so-called correct view is the correct opinion and the correct concept. The establishment of correct concepts has a very important relationship with our personal cultivation, the prosperity and progress of society and the peace and happiness of the world.

Faith can change fate.

With faith, it is like sailing with a goal, a direction for a journey, and a rule for doing things. You can go straight ahead, get to your destination quickly and reduce unnecessary groping. The power of faith, like a motor, is the source of our progress and can change our destiny.

Fate can change fate.

As a member of society, we can't leave society. The fate of our lives is closely related to the public. The so-called "affinity" in Buddhism is to establish good interpersonal relationships.

The scripture says: before you learn Buddhism, you must win the hearts of the people. We should make friends with others and give them convenience. The more friends we make, the more convenient it is for us to repay ourselves. Helping others is helping yourself. Although we constantly give and help others, in fact, we help ourselves, because the self is not treated, but integrated. Only by completing others can we complete ourselves. Therefore, Bodhisattva takes all beings as the Dojo of practice, and gives extensive compassion to achieve Buddhism and Taoism from the relationship with all beings. Affinity can not only change our destiny, but also be an important gateway to Buddhism. In daily life, a kind smile, an encouraging compliment, relaxed service and sincere sympathy can bring great happiness to each other and enhance the harmonious relationship between the two sides. Affinity makes our life broader and smoother, so why not?

Keeping precepts can change fate.

Ideas, beliefs and marriages can change our destiny, and keeping precepts can also change our destiny. If you don't kill, you can turn short life into long life; Being wary of not stealing can turn a poor life into wealth; Keeping precepts can make families happy; Without swearing, you can gain the trust and praise of others; By giving up drinking, you can always stay healthy and rational. Keeping precepts can turn a rough experience into a happy and healthy destiny.

Everyone has a destiny, and destiny is controlled by various forces. How can we get rid of the control of fate and start our own life? We need to cultivate correct concepts, establish firm beliefs, establish good relationships and strictly observe the discipline of purity. Being able to do this is not only not controlled by fate, but also free to adjust fate.

Fourth, the fate of Buddhism.

1, Buddhism believes that fate is not fixed, but can be changed.

Buddhism advocates that all laws are born of karma and have no self-nature, so life is born of karma and has no self-nature. A bad fate can be changed by planting good things for good reasons. For example, a little novice monk can live a long life, which is a famous example.

One day in meditation, a master who gained the status of Arhat grosvenor realized that his beloved apprentice had only a few days left to live, and thought: How could such a clever child have only seven days left to live? What a pity! You can't tell him the truth. How can he stand such a blow at a young age?

At dawn, master suppressed his sadness and called the little novice monk to his side and said, Good boy! You haven't visited your parents for a long time, so pack your bags and get together with your parents! ?

The unsuspecting little novice monk felt the strangeness of Master, but he said goodbye to Master happily and went home. Day by day, seven days have passed, and little novice monk hasn't come back yet. Although the troubled Arahant was ruined, he could not help but feel sad for the unfortunate experience of his little apprentice. Just when he was unhappy that he would never see his apprentice again, little novice monk suddenly came back safely. Arhat was surprised and took the little monk's hand and looked it up and down.

? How did you come back well? Did you do something?

? Don't! ? Little novice monk shook his head doubtfully and answered.

? Think about it. Did you see anything? What did you do? Master has been asking questions.

? Oh! I remember. On my way home, I passed a pond and saw a group of ants trapped in the water. I picked up a leaf and rescued them ashore. ? Little novice monk answered truthfully, his black eyes shining with joy.

Upon hearing this, Master immediately entered the divine power to watch the fate of the apprentice: the child not only died prematurely, but also lived to be 100 years old. Little novice monk's compassion not only saved the life of ants, but also changed his own destiny.

In addition to compassion can change fate, cultivating blessings can also turn a bad life into a good life. Buddhism believes that no matter how deep the bad karma is, it can be alleviated, and the deep bad karma can be changed by planting Fude widely.

2. Buddhism attaches importance to fate, but Buddhism attaches more importance to future fate.

Buddhism talks about the past, the present and the future, and the past karma has always been like this. Even if it is annoying, you can't regret it. But the fate of the present and the future is in our hands. Therefore, Buddhism does not indulge in sadness about the fate of the past, but actively pursues the fate of infinite hope in the future.

How to turn the bumpy fate of the past into a better fate in the future? Then it is necessary to practice the work of modifying, changing hearts, turning back and turning around. If we can change our hard-to-change personality, soften our grumpy temper, and turn our withdrawn temperament into fate, our fate will definitely change. Now that medicine is developed, some people have a heart attack. If they change their hearts, they will still be as energetic as alive and kicking. Our flesh-and-blood heart is broken, and of course we need surgery to replace it. If our wisdom and beautiful mind are broken, we should change it. Only by turning bad heart into kindness, nausea into kindness and nausea into righteousness can we continue our lives and keep healthy.

Buddhism does not encourage people to resign themselves to fate, but it wants people to create their own destiny.

Some people think that God has arranged this way when they are in trouble, and any effort is in vain. Buddhism believes that fate is in our own hands, and we are geniuses who create our own destiny.

4. Buddhism not only wants people to be happy in knowing life, but also wants people to turn over a new leaf and make revolution.

Confucius said he? Know your destiny at the age of 50? A sage like Confucius didn't understand the truth of life in the universe until he was mature in middle age, which shows that it is not easy for Lotte know life, but Buddhism advocates that besides conforming to destiny, it also needs to further purify the mind.

Ordinary people have a habit of easily seeing other people's shortcomings, but beautifying their own mistakes. The Buddha's enlightenment for decades has opened countless methods for us, that is, washing away the dirt in our hearts. Restore it to its original clean state. The process of seeking Tao is nothing more than the time to purify the soul and life. The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the moon is high and the clouds are light. It will be an empty moment to walk with the Buddhas!
