Do you have to visualize when learning Buddhism?

Four thoughts: Nicodemus doesn't pay for the rest of the trip, but only pays Ananda to read Buddha.

This provision is also quoted from the concept of endless life. The content of "viewing the classics" is very extensive, including thirteen fixed views, three blessings and nine products, and also talking about chanting Buddha. So what is the intention of Sakyamuni Buddha to explain to Ananda? At the end of this sutra, Sakyamuni Buddha made a summary of the main points of this sutra and handed it to Ananda. He didn't give Ananda instructions on meditation, three blessings, and nine grades except chanting Buddha, but called chanting Buddha the name of Amitabha in the south and gave Ananda instructions on this method. Explaining Ananda is also to let Ananda pass on to all our sentient beings, because Ananda is a collector of scriptures.

Expensive-of course, chanting Buddha is noble, and Sakyamuni Buddha will not entrust dishonorable people; So, is the original intention of Sakyamuni Buddha to recite Buddha or to compare with others? Of course, chanting Buddha is the original intention of Sakyamuni Buddha. Therefore, I only pay for Buddhist studies.

Say things for chanting Buddha.

Then why talk about other methods of practice? Although the return of other practices (all kinds of miscellaneous good deeds) to the afterlife is not the original intention of Sakyamuni Buddha, some people like to meditate, while others like to recite scriptures. In order to meet the fundamental needs of these sentient beings, they will talk about various practices. "Ah, you all did a good job, there is a lot of credit. But it is still difficult to get rid of life and death by this alone. Now there is a good way. You can return the merits of practice to the paradise of survival without change, and you will definitely die! " So, people who like to meditate and recite Buddha and hold spells, "Hey! Well, I doubt it, too What if I can't get it off? It turns out that you can come back to life like this, and your merits are great! " He was very happy. He entered the Pure Land Gate. Therefore, we should use all kinds of good methods to absorb the roots of all sentient beings and then guide them into the Pure Land Gate.

So, what about entering the Pure Land Gate? It's like this person has reached a higher level (he can't take two steps at once, but he has to take this step first). At this time, Sakyamuni Buddha will say to you: "Since he wants to live in the Western Heaven, all beings have done well, but compared with the six-character name of Amitabha Buddha, his merits are too small. It is better to read the oath of Amitabha, read the name of Amitabha and die, and seek roots with Buddha. " Hearing this, the man said, "Well, I want to specialize in chanting Buddha now." At this time, slowly guide it in.

Therefore, it is the fundamental mechanism to guide all kinds of different sentient beings to talk about various actions for the sake of chanting Buddha.

We are all dedicated to chanting Buddhism and are willing to tell others about it. I don't believe you can go out and try. If you tell him to specialize in Buddhist chanting first, he may not accept it. You should praise his practice for its merits, and say, "You will definitely die if you go back to Elysium", and he will laugh happily. "Then I'll go!" "Tell him slowly to specialize in chanting Buddha. This is the second such statement. The scripture says this:

The infinite life view sutra says:

The Buddha told Ananda: If you like to master languages, those who master languages will have the name of the Buddha with infinite life.

A classic, we can't understand it without the explanation of our ancestors. Then there is only one sentence in this passage, but it is from this passage that the master of good guidance sees through the purpose of the whole "infinite life view"

This book Guan Wu Tian Shou Jing may not be familiar to most people. There is a video called "Tales of Buddhists", which is about "Observing the Endless Life Sutra".

Guan Jing's karma

When Sakyamuni Buddha was in jiusan, a tragedy happened to the king snake. A prince and a noble scholar were instigated by the Buddha to usurp the throne. What did Devadata tell him? "Your father is not good to you, how ... you get rid of your father and become the new king, and I get rid of the Buddha and become the new Buddha. Is it not good for our new king and new Buddha to rule the world together? Gao Wang listened to the incitement and locked his father up and starved to death.

There is also a reason for this: his father's name is Wang Piro, and he has no son when he is old. When I met a fortune teller, I asked him, "When can I have a son?" 」

The fortune teller said, "On a mountain, there is a great fairy practicing. Three years later, the immortal will die and be reincarnated as the son of the king in the palace. 」

"I have to wait for three years, too long, and I am old. I hope he will become my son as soon as possible. When he grows up, I can pass on the country to him. So he sent someone to discuss with the immortal and said, "So-and-so, you are practicing in the king's territory, and you have inherited the king's blessing." Now please go to the palace as soon as possible to be reborn as the king's prince. 」

The fairy said, "Go back and tell the king that I still have three years, so I can't go now. 」

The messenger came back and told the king. When the king heard this, he said, "How is this possible? I told him to respect him. In my country, everyone should obey my orders. Please invite him again and come at once! If he doesn't promise, you will kill him. If he dies, are you still afraid it's not my son? 」

In this way, the messenger went to ask the fairy again. The fairy still refused. If he refused, the messenger drew his sword and killed him. Before he died, the immortal said, "Your Majesty killed me with his heart today. Although I will be a prince in the future, I will kill him with my heart. 」

After the immortal was killed, he was reincarnated in the palace. Mrs. Wittig is pregnant.

After pregnancy, the fortuneteller came back and said, "My wife is really pregnant with a prince, but this prince is harmful to the king and may hurt him." 」

Hearing this, King Bo Rollo said, "Never mind. My country belongs to him as long as he can become a prince and inherit the throne. Having said that, I was still a little uneasy after careful consideration, so I discussed with Mrs. Wittig: "When giving birth, don't pick him up and let him fall to the ground. In this way, outsiders don't know, and we are not notorious. " 」

Wittig listened to the king's advice and gave birth to him from a tall building. As a result, he fell down, not dead, but broke a little finger, so he was called Gao Shi, which means "broken finger".

It is such an experience.

Knowing this experience, devadatta instigated Prince Qiushi to say, "Prince, people all over the country call you Prince Qiushi. Do you know what this means? 」

"I don't know. 」

Devadatta told him, "I don't even know this. I feel sorry for you! " ! Bad reputation! "Then tell him the past experience, provoke his relationship with his father.

Hearing this, Prince Gao was so angry that he locked his father up and wouldn't let anyone in.

Of course, his mother, Mrs. Wittig, was very attached to her husband, so she washed herself clean and was covered with wheat? Fill the wreath with grape pulp, cover it with clothes, and then go in and bring food and drink to the king.

Seven days later, an autumn fruit came back and said, "Is my father still there? 」

The gatekeeper said, "My late king is still alive. 」

"Why? 」

"Every time my wife comes in, we can't stop her and get something to eat. Moreover, the late king was in prison, and he asked Sakyamuni Buddha to accept the Eight Rings and the law. There are shamans in Fulu, and they all have magical powers. They come from the air, and we can't stop them. The first king had food and laws. Law can stabilize his mind and soul, and food can nourish his body, not only not dying, but also healthier. 」

A high-quality person was very angry and said, "My mother is a thief and keeps company with thieves! With a very angry heart, he walked up to his mother with a sword in his hand. When he pressed the sword, he would kill her. This is the crime of five crimes.

At this time, two ministers remonstrated and said, "Since ancient times, in order to compete for the throne, there have been people who murdered their fathers, but they have never heard of people who murdered their mothers. If you do this, it will be a disgrace to us. We don't want people like you to be our king. " The minister will not support him.

O Gao Shi was afraid: what should I do? They no longer support me. In this way, he put the sword away and his mother took her life.

Although she saved her life, Mrs. Wittig was locked up. In the palace, there is no freedom. Do you think she is sad? On the one hand, if the husband often dances and no one gives him food, he will definitely starve to death; On the other hand, my son is so unfilial that he wants to kill her!

Although she is the king of a country, all the pains in the world are imposed on her, and she feels very depressed. So, I sobbed in my cell, facing the direction of Sakyamuni Buddha (because I have seen and supported the Buddha at ordinary times): "Buddha! I feel deeply guilty. How did I give birth to such a son? If I had freedom, I would definitely worship Buddha and ask your old man to enlighten me and comfort me, but now I am locked up and lost my freedom. If the Buddha can understand my mind, please send Mu Yulian and Ananda to explain Buddhism to me and comfort my mind. 」

When she thought together like this, Sakyamuni Buddha knew, so he sent Mu Yulian and Ananda (both of whom have magical powers) from the air and flew into the palace. Sakyamuni Buddha disappeared from Lingjiusan and came out of the palace.

Mrs. Wittig is in the palace, where she is crying and biting her head. When she looked up, ah, Sakyamuni Buddha was in front of her, with purple and gold, sitting on the lotus throne with a treasure, Ananda and Mulian, one on the left and the other on the right, and the palace was a vast and boundless realm. Many heaven and man are in the air, and they all want to smell Buddhism, because everyone knows that when Buddha comes to the palace, there must be a unique teaching method to tell.

When Wittig saw Sakyamuni Buddha, his heart was filled with grief, and he couldn't help crying in front of the Buddha. "Buddha! How could I be so miserable! I have never done anything bad in my life, how can I have such a son! " (Mrs. Wittig, like us, is an ordinary person, even forgetting the cause and effect, forgetting that she wanted to throw her son to death. She said that she had done nothing wrong.) "Buddha, please tell me, where is the pure land? I want to go to the pure land. I don't want to stay in this place. This is a bad world, full of evil people. I don't want to see wicked people and hear unpleasant voices in the future. " You see, even your own son is hurting himself, let alone others? Therefore, she wants to go to the pure land and is willing to die. She doesn't want to stay in this woman's world.

Sakyamuni Buddha did not answer Mrs. Wittig, but used his divine power to shine from his brow, shining the whole boundless world, and the light returned to his head, turning into a golden platform, such as Mount Sumi, showing the pure land of the Ten Buddhas. Just like watching a movie, Wittig knows very well, especially the western paradise is very wonderful. Mrs. Wittig said, "Dear Lord, these lands are very clean and solemn, and they all have light, but I chose heaven. This place is not the wise choice of Lady Wittig, but the blessing of Sakyamuni Buddha with divine power. Although other places are very good, they especially show the wonderful essence of Elysium.

Dingshan

Mrs. Wittig said, "Today I want to live in happiness. May the Buddha tell me how to think and how to accept. As the saying goes, "I only want to be a Buddha, teach me to think and teach me to suffer." "The so-called' thinking' and' suffering' both refer to visualization." Tell me, how do you imagine your next life? "Because Mrs. Wittig has heard of Buddhism, she still doesn't know how to say the name of Amitabha to die, thinking that only visualization can die, and that the merits of visualization are extremely superior (most people think so).

At the request of Mrs. Wittig, Sakyamuni Buddha gave a lecture on the thirteen views. Because Mrs. Wittig asked about the fixed scenery, what she said was the scenery of the sun, water, treasure land, treasure tree, treasure pool, treasure building and China Tower. Behind the China Tower, she looked at the treasures of Amitabha, Avalokitesvara and Bodhisattva. Then there is the view of the true body, which is the true body of Amitabha, whose Ganges sand is as high as ten days. Then there are the Guanyin view, the potential view, the general view, the miscellaneous view and the * * * thirteen views, which are called the fixed view.

Sanshan

Mrs. Wittig didn't ask for charity except meditation. Sakyamuni Buddha personally preached good, that is, three blessings and nine products. Why should we spread goodness through openness? Because few people can cultivate the concept of meditation, it is impossible to achieve the concept without meditation. So, before she asked, I opened Sanfu's door to distract me. Sanfu, can everyone recite it?

The first blessing is called the blessing of the world, and the good deeds in the world. "Honor the adoptive parents, serve the teachers, and do ten good deeds instead of killing good ones." The first sentence "filial piety to adoptive parents", we are born as human beings, of course, we should be filial to adoptive parents and put this in the first place in the world's blessings; We are also trained by teachers, so we should serve the teachers; Don't kill people with kindness, cultivate ten good deeds. These four sentences are called master. Whether you believe in Buddhism or not, the world knows that this is a good thing. "Honor adoptive parents and serve teachers" is of course a good law, and "don't kill with kindness, do ten good deeds" is a good law of the right path.

Second, abstaining from blessings means observing the law of abstinence and goodness. "It's not against dignity to collect three times and abstain from foot". "Three Return to Buddhism, Dharma and Monk"; There are five precepts, eight precepts, bodhisattva precepts, monks' bhikkhus' bhikkhus' bhikkhus' bhikkhus' bhikkhus' bhikkhus' bhikkhus' bhikkhus' bhikkhus' bhikkhus' bhikkhus' bhikkhus' bhikkhus' bhikkhus' The so-called "84 thousand fine deeds" is called dignity. It's called abstinence from blessings. Abstinence from blessings is a unique good deed in Buddhism, which is higher than the world blessings.

Third, Mahayana is a blessing, which is the content of Mahayana Buddhism. "Develop bodhicitta, believe in cause and effect, read Mahayana, and advise practitioners". "Bodhicitta" is the requirement of all sects in general Buddhism and Buddhism, and it is extremely successful. How can you become a Buddha if you don't cultivate bodhicitta and don't want to spread all beings? Therefore, we should send bodhicitta; "Believe in cause and effect", there are two kinds of cause and effect: one is secular cause and effect, and the other is secular cause and effect, so we should be convinced. Many of us believe in causality very superficially. Even when we are upset, we don't believe in cause and effect. For example, Mrs. Wittig didn't believe in cause and effect just now. She said, "Dear Lord, I have never done anything wrong. How did I give birth to such a son? " She forgot what she had done before. Usually it is clear that "I believe in cause and effect, and I believe in Buddhism". In fact, it is not easy for everyone to "believe in cause and effect". If you really believe in cause and effect, you won't be angry if others hit you. What goes around comes around! What goes around comes around! Not only will you not be angry, but you will also feel "I'm sorry for hitting you before, but I can't get it back when I find it." Now, thank you for coming to my house and asking me to pay back the money. Thank you for clearing my debt. " I feel sorry for others. And we are not "I didn't mess with you, why did you hit me!" " "This is called believe in cause and effect? If you lose money in business, you will lose your temper there. " Why don't I feel the Buddha chanting? "? " All this does not believe in cause and effect; "Read Mahayana", read Mahayana classics, Diamond Sutra, Big Dipper Sutra, Huayan Sutra, Shurangama Sutra, etc. "Persuade doers" and persuade others to practice diligently.

It's called Sanfulinmen.

None of us here can practice meditation, and Sakyamuni Buddha knows it, so you don't have to decide to teach kindness and filial piety to adoptive parents. You don't have to settle down to serve a teacher. It's easier to spread the good without looking. However, the power of scattering good is not as good as fixing good.

The top three products of the nine products of scattered goodness: the top product of the previous generation, the middle product of the previous generation, and the inferior product of the previous generation. These three products are ordinary people who study Mahayana Buddhism; Middle-aged top grade, middle-aged middle grade, these two products are people who practice Hinayana Buddhism; Middle and lower people are people who learn the good laws in the world and are filial to their parents. He has never studied Mahayana or been disciplined by Hinayana, and he is good at the world without understanding Buddhism. These six kinds of people are all good people, one is lower than the other. If Mahayana is not good, the world will be fine. If Mahayana is not good, the world will be fine.

pray to Buddha

However, not everyone can do it, and some people can't even do it. What if you can't even do the good laws in the world? For example, after the extinction of the law in ten thousand years, all living beings can't be kind and disobedient to unfilial people, such as a noble scholar, who kills his father and his mother. How can he be filial to their adoptive parents? He won't do good. So, how do you save a person who can't even spread good and three blessings? Sakyamuni Buddha talked about ten evil sinners, sinners who broke the precepts, and sinners who didn't keep the precepts in "Three Kinds of Spreading Good". These three kinds of sinners have no good roots, so he speaks of reading Buddha for these three kinds of beings.

Therefore, chanting Buddha to death means that the root machine is getting lower and lower, and the dharma is getting higher and higher, so that we can have our past lives.

Among the nine products, there is such a second place.

Payment order

Finally, this book also talks about thirteen fixed views, three good and nine blessings, and then reciting Buddha. Then, Buddha Sakyamuni talked so much that most people think that visualization is extremely superior and we must pay attention to the samadhi of Buddha. "If the scattered good is not excellent, the good will be excellent; In goodness, if the views of the sun, water and the earth are not unique, then at least the views of the real body and Amitabha are unique. This is the best and should be circulated. " But Sakyamuni Buddha is not like this. He doesn't pay for spreading kindness, don't say he spreads kindness, and he doesn't pay for fixing kindness. He didn't say he wanted to see the sun, water and the earth, and he didn't even pay for the order. What are you paying for? Finally, I made a summary, and the previous three blessings and nine products came to an end temporarily. Because the three blessings and nine products led to the final Buddha recitation, Ananda was specially entrusted to Buddha recitation.

It is this passage: "Buddha tells Ananda, you are good at keeping your word." The Buddha said to Ananda, "You should take care of what I say-then Sakyamuni Buddha talks too much. What is it? " ? Do you support all or which part? Ananda must have doubts in his heart. Ananda didn't ask, and Sakyamuni Buddha knew it. So, without waiting for him to ask, he explained: "He who speaks the language holds the name of Buddha with infinite life." "The point I'm talking about is to hold the name of the Buddha with infinite life. This is my main point of view on "observing classics". You should remember it clearly. 」

When we talk to others, we should also have the main points. What if the other person can't understand your heart at once and it's not convenient for you to say what you really mean at once? Once you say it, sometimes it's inconvenient. Take a detour, right? Is there such a stress? "What's the situation in your family ..." Set of feelings, slowly circle around, slowly lead to the place we want to say, and finally throw this sentence out. This is called convenient introduction, because it is not convenient to say it directly, so it is called convenient. Once you say it directly, sometimes feelings and face are hard to say. For example, debt collection, which had a good relationship, was too embarrassed to ask for money at once, so he slowly said, "My family is a little short of money recently, and my son has to go to school ..." After many detours, the other party gradually understood.

So is Sakyamuni Buddha. If it is as simple as saying the name Tommy from the beginning, then some people can't accept it. "It's too easy, how can it be so simple?" Sakyamuni Buddha follows your heart, talks about visualization, and looks at it this way; If visualization can't be done, it doesn't matter if it can't be done, spread kindness, be filial to parents, read Mahayana classics and understand the first meaning ... We are also very happy to hear it; What if you can look at yourself in the Buddhist mirror, but you can't do these things? Slowly, at last, he told the whole story and said, "Ananda, you must hold the name of the Buddha with infinite life!" " "Having said that, the last sentence is the key.

The original wish to see Buddha means all beings, and it has always been called Amitabha's name.

Therefore, according to this passage, a good instructor looks at the whole "Guan Jing" from the back to the front, and clearly sees Guan Jing's purpose. Most people can't understand Guan Jing, because its title is Guan Jing, which is originally about Guan Jing, with many contents, including thirteen views, which are very long. Only a few paragraphs, a few paragraphs, about chanting Buddha. So it's not the number of words, it's always the same, but the purpose of chanting samadhi. The good tour guide made such an explanation. Let's see:

From the following: "Buddha tells Ananda, you are good at speaking",

Obviously, Tommy's name was paid and circulated among distant generations.

What does this paragraph mean? Sakyamuni Buddha entrusted the name of Amitabha Buddha to Ananda and asked him to spread it in distant generations. "Far" refers to a very far place, and "Far Generation" refers to the distant future, from the time of Sakyamuni Buddha to today, until the end of ten thousand years.

Good guide master went on to say:

Although this is good for both sides,

The original wish to see Buddha means all beings, and it has always been called Amitabha's name.

This sentence is the pinnacle of the whole Pure Land Sect. The so-called "the origin of a thousand miles lies here", which leads to this sentence. This sentence is really called "a thousand words", and the purpose of the whole Pure Land Sect is final.

Therefore, the founder, Amitabha appeared, that is, Amitabha appeared, and others could not say it.

Let's see what this sentence means. Although "coming up will certainly spread the benefits of the two factions", "coming up" begins with "Guan Jing", begins with "If I smell it" and ends with "Ananda, you love to talk". This whole Buddhist sutra has only a little summary at the back (you can compare it when you go back). "Although", though, this "although" is meaningful. The master has laid the groundwork. When we say "although", there is a "but" behind it. Although Sakyamuni Buddha talked about two things, both of them are beneficial-if you cultivate the concept of meditation and visualize the paradise, can you die if you achieve it? Decided to die! I'm afraid you can't see it; If you can cultivate virtue, you really show filial piety to your adoptive parents and return to the bliss of survival; You can really observe precepts, really recite Mahayana, understand the first meaning, understand Mahayana Buddhism, and even live in the bliss world sincerely, go deep into your heart and return to your heart, so it is called "the benefits of opening two doors." Both of them are good, and both of them can die if they withdraw (of course, they can't die if they don't withdraw).

Although there are such benefits, there are still greater benefits, which are not in the two categories of determination and dispersion. Therefore, we will talk about "looking at the Buddha's original wish", and "looking" means taking what as the standard and seeing where with our eyes. For example, we stand here and look there with our eyes, although people stand here and look there with their eyes. Although Sakyamuni Buddha stood in a place of self-reliance and self-improvement, he told you to be kind and scattered, but in his heart, he looked at Amitabha's original wish. He didn't just stand here motionless. He said this, said this, said that place. Just like the metaphor we just talked about, there were many twists and turns at first, but I was reading my words in my heart. Buddha Sakyamuni said it a thousand times, and finally he wanted to talk about the original wish of Amitabha, so he called it "looking at the original wish of Buddha."

From the beginning, Sakyamuni Buddha "looked at the Buddha's original wish." At first, Mrs. Wittig said, "Buddha, I want to go to the pure land." She didn't say which pure land it was, but Sakyamuni Buddha knew that an ordinary woman who had committed such a crime and didn't even believe in cause and effect was going to the pure land. You can't go to the Ten Pure Lands, only the Pure Lands of Amitabha can go, because this Buddha made a unique wish, that is, to let ordinary people live in the Pure Lands. Therefore, although Mrs. Wittig tried hard to survive in the Ten Pure Lands, Sakyamuni Buddha still looked forward to Amitabha's original wish and made the Pure Land of Blissfulness particularly solemn and beautiful for Mrs. Wittig to choose from. This is called "hoping for Buddha's original wish".

Many places in "Viewing the Classics" are "the original wish of watching Buddha". Let me briefly mention a few points. For example, in the ninth view of the true body, consider the 60 trillion Buddha body of Amitabha, whose Ganges sand has been so high since the 10th, saying, "There are 84,000 statues of Buddha, 84,000 statues of goodness, 84,000 statues of goodness, and 84,000 statues of brightness that shine all over the world." All sentient beings who read Buddha are reluctant to give up. Isn't this the "original wish of looking at Buddha"? Because Amitabha's original wish was to receive all sentient beings who read Buddha, the great monk said, "Amitabha's body color is like a golden mountain, and its light shines everywhere." Only by chanting Buddha and taking pictures under the light can we know that this desire is the strongest. It is precisely because of Sakyamuni Buddha's "willingness to see Buddha" that you are guided to read Buddha, and the Buddha's light is absorbed.

And then say good deeds. In the scattered good, we are talking about the Mahayana good of the older generation and the Mahayana good of the middle generation. Finally, there is no Mahayana, there is no Mahayana and there is no good in the world. We only tell this kind of sentient beings three things about the next generation, saying that there is no Amitabha in the south for ten times. These are all "the original wishes of seeing Buddha."

In the end, there is only one, and there is no need to compare-there is no need to compare, but it is completely entrusted to hold the name of the Buddha with infinite life, not to mention good or bad, only to mention one.

Three levels of metaphor can be used to illustrate the opening sequence of Guan Jing. The first layer is called "Flowers are Lotus", the second layer is called "Flowers bloom and lotus appears", and the third layer is called "Flowers fall and lotus becomes".

Just like the lotus, the lotus has flowers and leaves outside and a lotus in the middle. The first song is called "Flowers for Lotus". What is "flowers for lotus"? In order to harvest lotus seeds (lotus seeds are effective), there are lotus flowers, which are called "flowers for lotus"; When the lotus flower blooms, the lotus flower is inside, and it reaches the second stage. Lotus flowers are still buds when they bloom, and lotus flowers are invisible. What does this mean? This means that at the beginning, we talked about goodness and dispersion, that is, lotus leaves and lotus flowers inside. At first, it was a good breakup, not a good breakup. You can't see the Buddha, so we don't know that this is about the Buddha. It seems to be wrapped in a lotus, and the lotus inside is not displayed, but the purpose is to "see the Buddha" and want to talk about the Buddha, but at first we can't fully talk about it.

In the second stage, "the lotus blooms" and the lotus blooms. This is the saying about chanting Buddha in the biography of cultivating goodness. For example, just now, "the light shines all over the world, and all living beings are reluctant to give up", although it is to watch Buddha, but it is inserted with the chanting of Buddha-the lotus flower, which is also mentioned in the essay on spreading kindness, and is called "the name of Buddha with infinite longevity"

In the end, as soon as the lotus petals opened, they slowly withered, and all the good scattered lotus petals were abandoned, and the teaching method of chanting Buddha was completely independent.

Sakyamuni Buddha used this order to guide us from the holy gate to the pure land gate, where we specialized in chanting Buddhism and practicing miscellaneous practices. Understand this truth, you can't live up to the painstaking efforts of Sakyamuni Buddha, and you should specialize in chanting Buddha.

Sakyamuni Buddha took great pains to tell this book because the roots of all beings are too arrogant and slow. Without the wisdom of the Buddha, we can't even touch the door to talk about this book. Gradually guide, "looking at the Buddha's original wish" and "meaningful to all beings." What does Sakyamuni Buddha mean by "observing the scriptures"? We are not determined to be good, but scattered, that is to say, our ten sentient beings have always called the name of Amitabha, so in the end, we will give the name of Amitabha to Ananda.

Amitabha's original wish is to always call him Amitabha's name, so is Sakyamuni's original intention, and so is the sincerity of the Ten Buddhas. If we don't specialize in chanting Buddha, it's Amitabha Buddha, Sakyamuni Buddha and Ten Buddhas, and you won't be called Shun Buddha.

"It has always been called the name of Tommy Buddha", which is the fundamental purpose of Pure Land Sect. In this "sutra observation", we also talk about observing the Buddha's body, but the Buddha's original wish is not to observe the Buddha's body, but to call it the Buddha's name, so we say that the Buddha's name is the only object of our belief. It's not the name of other buddhas, nor the distinctive figure of Amitabha (which most people can't see), but the name of Amitabha, which is unique.

For example, if you teach a child to recite Buddha, do you tell him his name or recite Buddha? "Oh, baby, you are chanting Buddha in your heart." He doesn't know how to recite Buddha in his mind. You said, "Hey, read it like this: Amitabha. He can also read, so it is easy for children to call their names; Also, for example, some people with mental retardation are abnormal. If you let them read, they will. If you tell him "Buddha is in your heart", he doesn't even know what you are talking about. Therefore, swearing is very easy. There are parrots and starlings, and chanting Buddha can also die. Is it in their hearts? It can only say "Amitabha" to you, and it also says "Amitabha". You did, and it did. It just says its name and hopes to live in the pure land. Can myna bear to live? We don't know, maybe, but since it is a bird, maybe not, we don't know, but it often reads Buddha, because it often reads Buddha, and the name has this effect, which makes it die naturally. So, myna is dead, and she still has relics. If he is a fool, if he reads Amitabha from morning till night like myna, he promises to live forever! Needless to say, chanting Buddha will do. He doesn't know what a pure heart is, just read Buddha. " There is no Amitabha in the south ... "And he has read more Buddhism, and if he is really happy, he is not stupid." Comparatively speaking, it is easier than thinking.
