How does practice change fate?

What is everyone's "fate"? It's your thinking habit, in the last life, the next life, and the next life ... This accumulated thinking habit has produced your "phase", including your figure and appearance, the environment you live in, the people and things you meet ... It's not only this life that has thinking habits, but this life is a part of it. For example, twins who grew up together have received similar things in this life, but their temper and personality are still different! It is the karma accumulated in previous lives, and the accumulated karma is different. Ordinary people's lives are fixed, so some fortune tellers can work it out. What will happen to someone in the future is sometimes accurate. If you make up your mind to practice, your life will begin to change. Life changes, no fortune telling. The bad things we thought and did in previous lives are bad karma, which is what the people call sin. Bad karma is the cause of evil, and there will be bad consequences if there is bad karma. If you are unlucky now, all your injuries and illnesses are the result of bad karma. The good things we thought and did in the past and past lives are good deeds, which is what we call merit. Good karma is the cause of good, and if there is good cause, there will be good results. If you are satisfied, happy and healthy now, this is the reward of good karma. Most of us want to live a proud and happy life, and don't want to live a miserable life. When we know the dharma and know the dharma, we can use the dharma to make adjustments, adjust our hearts, adjust our lives and make ourselves more comfortable. Ordinary people are subject to many restrictions. The higher you practice, the more comfortable you are, and the more you can be your own master. How to do it specifically? No more than three. One is confession. You should know what you should not do. If you do, you should repent and turn over a new leaf and stop doing bad things. Protect your mind. Bad things, bad things to think less, it is best not to think. Try not to create new bad karma. So your heart won't go in the evil direction again. One is to think more about good deeds and do more good deeds, that is, to accumulate virtue. Increase the good causes in your life. There is a good cause, and there is a good result. If you do more merits, you will get more good results. One is the crime reduction industry, which eliminates the evil consequences of the bad things you thought and did in the past before it matures, and naturally will not suffer or suffer less from such evil consequences. How to eliminate it? Is to do merit. How to do merit? There are many ways to do merit. To do merit is to change one's heart, so that one's heart becomes better and closer to that of Buddha and Bodhisattva. For example, if we say Amitabha in good faith, we can reduce the felony of robbing life and death by 8 billion. Why? Say amitabha in good faith, that is, your heart will take a step towards goodness, your heart will begin to move closer to goodness, your heart will become good, and your sin will be reduced. It can be seen that good karma and bad karma are changing with your heart, and this is the birth of your heart. Merit increases and sin decreases. Some people preach that I want to be kind, Buddha and Bodhisattva. I-I can't remember! I don't know if I really want to read Buddha, so I am very contradictory and insecure! In this way, you can do some practical merits, such as taking care of the old, the weak and the sick, volunteering, giving and releasing, so that you can hold it in your hand, see it in your eyes and feel at ease. This can make your heart close to goodness and buddhas and bodhisattvas, which is a great merit. The release is not about how much money, but also about a hairless fish. Some people say this is a form! Hehe, the content sometimes needs form to reflect. Why is there such a form? It is also a summary of the long-term experience of previous practitioners. Now that you use it, you are standing on the shoulders of giants. So there is no need to do everything yourself. Make a set from scratch. I don't know if it will help. If not, I have to change. In this way, it will delay the practice time and waste life. Some people say that I can do merit if I think about it, so I think about goodness, buddhas and bodhisattvas all day, eat and sleep, whenever. Yes, this is a great merit. Because you make your heart closer to goodness, closer to the hearts of buddhas and bodhisattvas. There are also some ingenious methods. For example, I know that someone is doing merit, and I am also longing for it and admiring it with joy, so I also have merit. I didn't do anything, so I exclaimed, how can there be merit? Because there is a yearning for beauty in my heart, my heart has changed, become better, and my heart has become better. This is merit! Someone immediately said that he didn't do merit. I wonder if he did? Of course, only your heart becomes better and closer to the heart of Buddha and Bodhisattva. It is merit. Therefore, there is also a practice method of observing all the sun and moon to support buddhas and bodhisattvas. It will also make your heart feel better. So what is the best idea? It means "everything is Buddha", and people who want to go to the western paradise will think that "everything is Amitabha". Meditate every day, all the time, and meditate everything in one breath. Chengdu is a Buddha. You can also read the Buddha's name while watching it. It's better this way. Thinking like this is also a way to educate all beings. Under the guidance of Sambo Zen Master, any Mahayana Buddhism has such a requirement. If someone teaches you not to live among sentient beings, he is definitely not practicing Mahayana Buddhism. People who practice well can see that I am integrated with all beings, buddhas and bodhisattvas in the realm, so buddhas and bodhisattvas must treat all beings, and I also regard all beings as bodhisattvas' behavior, that is, overhaul. The truth of spiritual practice is very simple, that is, it revolves around "being born from the heart." Your present situation (stage) is determined by your previous heart (mind, idea). To change one's present situation, one can start with changing one's thoughts, think more about good things and do more good things, so that one's heart will get better, one's heart will change and one's phase will change. This is the "environment" of Buddhism, which is actually very simple, just a few. The emergence of the world is the "origin of emptiness", and your current "destiny" and your situation are determined by "heart". So how to change your destiny? This is to change your mind with "the situation turns with your heart". If your heart changes, so will your life. To practice, you must first understand your own situation. You are an ordinary person. The Tibetan Scripture says, "All sentient beings in South Jambu-Di^pa are karma and sin if they start thinking." Our earth is in Jambu-Di^pa, so every thought of us ordinary people is a delusion, knowledge is a delusion, emptiness is a delusion, nothingness is a delusion ... thinking about anything is a delusion. It is difficult for ordinary people to practice their achievements by their own scriptures. "If you know the middle of the mountain, you must ask the person." I couldn't find my way, so I had to find a teacher. Buddha and Bodhisattva are our teachers. Buddha and Bodhisattva's compassion for all beings is unique, and they have been guiding all beings to practice without reincarnation and achieve Buddhism and Taoism. The words, deeds and thoughts of all sentient beings are clear to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Practice should be "faithful and willing". Willingness is your direction and your purpose. After you have a goal, you must have a "belief" again, so that Buddha and Bodhisattva can guide you to achieve your goal. When you open your heart to Buddha and Bodhisattva, Buddha and Bodhisattva can guide you to practice, just like Buddha and Bodhisattva show you the way and you follow. Although there are still difficulties and obstacles to overcome on the road, the progress of practice will be much faster. Belief in Buddha and Bodhisattva is actually an affirmation of what Buddha and Bodhisattva have done, and it is also an affirmation of Purdue sentient beings. It is certain that everyone gets pleasure from suffering, and all beings are no longer reincarnated. It is also the pursuit of light, purity and equality. External factors play a role through internal factors. If you have compassion like Buddha and Bodhisattva in your heart, your heart will be easily integrated into the hearts of Buddha and Bodhisattva. To open your heart is to believe in the three treasures of Buddhism and Buddhism. Why Sambo? Why not just believe in Buddhism and Bodhisattva? I don't know and I don't want to know. Because this is Buddhism, we believe in Buddhism and we will listen to it. The first belief is the unity of body, mouth and mind, and the deeper belief is that there is only Buddha and nothing else. In practice, beliefs need to be verified by stages, but not every problem needs to be concerned, because you are an ordinary person and your concern is wishful thinking. If you don't improve your faith in Buddhism and Buddhism, you will waste the guidance of Buddha and Bodhisattva. You turn a blind eye to the correct direction pointed by Buddha and Bodhisattva. Without the right direction, no matter how hard you practice, you can't escape the category of "blind practice", just like driving fast. If you don't have the right direction, you can't reach your destination. Mu Jianlian had great magical powers before he met the Buddha, and his hands could touch the sun and the moon. He also worships Buddha as a teacher and believes in Buddha deeply. Is to need the Buddha to guide him in the right direction. Compared with Buddha, I found that my little kung fu was nothing at all. Don't think that you are smart enough to understand the "true meaning" of Buddha. In fact, most people can't understand it. Ordinary people don't even know what wisdom is. Maybe you don't understand the difference between intelligence and wisdom. Cleverness can calculate, summarize and think. Wisdom can know the number of the next lottery. It can be seen that intelligence and wisdom are two completely different concepts. It is entirely based on different realms and different world views. Don't tell me that you have read the Heart Sutra and the Diamond Sutra, which is impossible. As the Heart Sutra said at the beginning, this is the realm of "deep Prajna paramita for a long time". Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary people who have not proved that they are "deep Prajna Paramita" to understand the Diamond Sutra and the Heart Sutra, because their world outlook is different from that of the Diamond Sutra and the Heart Sutra. It is a sin to start thinking, and all ordinary people's thoughts are delusions. In other words, it is difficult for ordinary people to practice and prove Tao by their own wisdom. If you have faith in Buddha and Bodhisattva and rely on their guidance, your path of practice will be faster and more stable. Therefore, the highest state of practice is to produce faith and rely entirely on Buddha's power. Only buddhas and bodhisattvas have no faith of their own. Faith will lead you to the shortest and smoothest path of practice. When we find that our practice has stopped or regressed, we should look back at our intentions: Has our faith wavered? When you are still wronged, angry, worried and uncomfortable ..., this shows that your faith is not enough. At this time, we should treat all grievances, anger, troubles and discomfort as Buddha! Buddhas, Buddhas ... Is this scene familiar? Yes! This is the weed of Bodhisattva. "If I go to Daoshan, Daoshan will destroy itself;" If I pour the fire soup, it will dry up; If I go to hell, hell will destroy itself; If I am hungry, hungry people will be full; If I ask Shura, I will feel sick and self-righteous; If I were a beast, I would be full of wisdom. "Don't think that you can have the faith, will and action to practice liberation with a scripture. We must rely on external forces, and we must know that adversity is of great help to practice. The world of Bodhisattva is the fastest place to practice in all Buddhist circles. Yes, this is the world where you and I live now, this world. At the stage when you are impulsive and easy to forget to observe meditation, it is best to be ascetic, experience and feel impermanent. These are all things I have experienced. How did faith come into being? With a good teacher, good fellow practitioners are most likely to have faith, and it is always reassuring to have successful examples ahead. Therefore, the communication between Buddhism and Confucius is very important, and * * * can communicate in depth by means of revising and debating scriptures. There is also verification, constantly verifying whether what the Buddha said is true, feeling and feeling that you have improved will make you more "credible" and "sincere" and strengthen your beliefs. There are many specific methods, including six degrees and ten thousand lines. If you leave the certificate and verification, you just turn around in language. This is not a practice, and the result is only a waste of precious practice opportunities and a continuation of reincarnation. For those who can't "close their eyes and see the light" in the dark after a long practice, I hope he can learn from the beginning with a new teacher. Because this is a primary experience on the road of spiritual practice, and it is also an experience process of heresy, even the blind will go through such a process. With the emergence of faith, when you realize that Buddha is no longer illusory, the next problem arises. You have to turn yourself into a Buddha. I will kowtow and bow down instead of the Buddha. If so, you will always be you, Buddha or Buddha. How can we really get close to Buddha, reduce our separation from Buddha, and complete the transformation process from me to Buddha? The best way is to do as the Buddha did: educate all beings. In some fields, we can see that all life is one with themselves. When you give a beggar a dollar with a smile, you think to yourself, "May he break away from reincarnation as soon as possible and achieve Buddhism and Taoism. "It's time to change your heart, your heart is getting better. On the surface, you are looking at all beings, but in fact, all beings are looking at yourself. The Mahayana aspires to Buddha, while the Mahayana aspires to himself. Self-seeking is to know that everything is your own, and the law of the world is "born by heart, and the situation turns at will." ".To apply this rule and change your situation, you must first change your heart and your thoughts. My mind has changed, my heart has changed, my appearance has changed and my situation has changed. You don't like others, but you didn't practice well yourself. That's the truth. When there is no evil cause in your heart, you won't suffer bad consequences. Don't think that if you plant good causes now, you will have good results in your next life. Sometimes the results come soon, depending on whether your heart has really changed. Put down the butcher knife and you will become a Buddha. With the progress of practice, you will gradually increase your ability to control the world and begin to understand the transformation between reality and illusion. How real or unreal is this world? This is determined by the realm of the yogi. Everything in the lower realm is real. The realm is high, just like the Buddha's previous life, cutting meat with King Goliath piece by piece, and nothing happened. The higher you go, the less you care. I don't want to say more. You stay in light, equality, emptiness and purity. People who study Buddhism should be persistent in getting close to good knowledge, acquiring good dharma and practicing diligently.
