Fortune-telling Xishuangbanna _ Xishuangbanna fortune teller

Why did the Buddha say, "Don't say, don't say, saying is wrong"

For an enlightened person, there is nothing to say in the world. Only those mystics will say something to prove their ignorance.

Buddhism is at the top, and Pali is Hinayana. The oldest school of Buddhism is also called "Southern Buddhism" because it spread southward from India, the birthplace of Buddhism, to Sri Lanka and Myanmar. At present, Buddhism is mainly spread in South and Southeast Asian countries such as Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos, as well as Xishuangbanna, Dehong and Yunnan in China. Buddhism insists on inheriting and maintaining the original teaching method of the Buddha, and does not advocate making too many changes to the teaching method of the Buddha. Therefore, some people call it "fundamental Buddhism" or "primitive Buddhism" to distinguish it from Buddhism developed in the later period. Southern Buddhism is different from Mahayana Buddhism or Northern Buddhism in East Asian countries and regions such as China, South Korea and Japan.

According to the Buddhism of the throne room, the Buddha is not an ever-changing and responsive god, nor is he an omnipresent and omnipotent savior. Buddha is an enlightened person with perfect wisdom and virtue, and a mentor who teaches ways to get rid of troubles. Buddhism is a method taught by the Buddha and a way to get rid of troubles and all kinds of sufferings. Later generations recorded these teachings in words and became Buddhist scriptures. Just as a patient gets a prescription, only taking medicine and taking medicine can cure the disease; I only know how to see a prescription without taking medicine, and I don't want to get well all my life. Similarly, if you regard classics as a panacea to avoid misfortune and bring happiness, but refuse to follow the teachings and practice, your troubles will never be cut off! Monks are disciples who practice and inherit the teachings of the Buddha. They must fulfill the obligation of studying Sanzang, observing the precepts and diligently practicing the outlook on life (self-interest), and shoulder the responsibility of inheriting orthodox teachings and persuading the world to educate the community (altruism). Monks should be respected and admired by society because of their pure precepts, spiritual teachers and moral models. Monks are not clergy, the intermediary between God and man, or social parasites who escape from reality. They are ignorant and full all day! It's just a trick to deceive oneself and others if a South-spread Biku boasts that it can eliminate crimes and obstacles for others, eliminate disasters and prolong life, and turn over the immortal body. If Nanchuan monks cheat believers of money by offering sacrifices, chanting spells, fortune telling, fortune telling, divination, exorcism, etc., it is regarded as a depraved and shameful evil life (improper way of making a living). Buddhism was introduced to the Han nationality in China at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and it has a long history of more than 2,000 years. Buddhism has become an inseparable and important part of China's traditional culture. However, as China people, how many people can tell clearly what Buddhism is? How many people really understand the Buddha's original teaching method? Many people in China know too little about Buddhism! Fundamental Buddhism is different from what ordinary people in China know! This book is based on some people's preconceptions and misunderstandings about Buddhism, and helps you understand the true face of Buddhism from the perspective of Southern Buddhism. Of course, all the ideas in this book are equally acceptable to the northern Mahayana monks and nuns who have faith and wisdom. As long as we put aside the artificial factors and sectarian prejudice mixed with Buddhism in the later period, there really is no spread from the south to the north and Mahayana. There is only one kind of Buddhism-the teachings of the Buddha!
