What is the "magical power" mentioned in Buddhist scriptures?

Avatar, Buddhist terminology, Sanskrit free translation

Oh, my God, look out. Access, accessibility. Avatar means that the mind is accessible, he can keep his mind still and clearly understand, and he can observe his public thoughts with his own mind without being defiled.

Being able to see all six ways without being dyed is called eye-catching;

The way to know good and evil is to know the way of all buddhas and sentient beings, which is called "two connections between heaven and earth".

These are the magical powers of the Bodhisattva preached in the Bodhisattva Wreath Sutra.

The magical powers mentioned in the Shurangama Sutra are: eye connection, ear connection, heart connection, foot connection and leakage connection.

Arhat Hinayana can have four kinds of magical powers after practicing the twelve karma Buddhism: eyes, ears, heart and feet. Among them, the realm of child's eyes and two-way communication is lower than that of bodhisattva. Arhat's magical power is the mind-knowing method, while the bodhisattva's magical power is based on the merits of bodhisattva.

Ordinary people, because they have no merit, always follow their own thoughts. They cannot make their thoughts follow their own wishes with wonderful power, nor can they make their thoughts come into being without losing them or return them with wonderful power. There are two ways to gain magical power. One is to repair, so that the heart is deeply rooted, and the external roots are remembered, and the deep roots are not lost. If this deep root is bodhicitta, it is Mahayana meditation, and if it is common to miss the root, it is Mahayana meditation. The second is to cultivate merits, and the merits are sufficient. All thoughts are unshakable and all thoughts can be achieved.

Many people have misunderstood the avatar. However, Buddhist disciples, especially Mahayana disciples, misunderstood its meaning, which especially hindered practice. Because of the great convenience of Buddhism, many beginners can't understand it, and often understand the Buddhist scriptures word by word. For example, flying into the void is really flying into the void. Actually, this is a metaphor. Not really flying into the air. In fact, in our daily life, we often use metaphors to express some complicated meanings.

Avatar has different meanings for Hinayana and Mahayana practitioners. Because Hinayana has not shown bodhicitta, his understanding of Buddhism comes from his mind, and his merits have not been used. Mahayana Bodhisattva developed bodhicitta, and bodhicitta depends on the consciousness of the heart. The magical power that can be displayed is far beyond Mahayana's reach. Mahayana wants to know the realm of Mahayana avatar, just like looking at the sky through a thick cloud of 100 billion days.

Jue Yuan monks practice twelve skills related to karma, such as opening eyes, ears, happiness and feet. Living in a Bodhisattva for the first time doesn't have to be a deliberate practice, and it is natural to have magical powers with his merits. Most people who worship supernatural power have not carefully read the Hinayana classics, especially the twelve karma. How can we understand Buddhism from rumors without being misunderstood [4]? In fact, the magical power will naturally be sufficient with the cultivation of bodhisattva's merits, which is neither terrible nor magical.

Ordinary people hold Buddha's words to facilitate teaching. It is believed that cutting off the arm can also grow something that violates the laws of the mother god's world as an avatar. In fact, this is the convenient wisdom that the Buddha compared. If you forcibly use your mind consciousness to understand the centrifugal Bodhi wisdom, you will always get delusions.

There are also disciples of evil teachers, who are greedy for fame and fortune and say that the guru has so-called special functions, that is, his so-called "magical powers", which are all lies.

Some Buddhist disciples regard spiritual power as a special function, which is a misunderstanding. All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have magical powers, and so does Asura, the Heaven and Man. Buddha has magical powers because of merit, Bodhisattva has magical powers because of bodhicitta, and Heaven and Man and Asura have magical powers because of their palaces (that is, their roots are relatively firm).

The so-called "Heaven and Man" and "Asura" are people who have more merits when they are reincarnated as human beings. Not from outer space. When the Buddha first appeared in the world, he could not accept Buddhism because of the troubles of ordinary people in the world. Therefore, according to the Brahmanism worldview at that time, it was convenient. The real situation is not so simple. The concept of "six paths" was invented by ancient Indians and widely accepted in China. When the Buddha explained the twelve causes, he explained the true meaning of Dharma.

For example, the "China-Arab Classic" said: "Fa Sheng. If the law is destroyed, it will die. It's all karma. If there is no karma. All suffering will be extinguished. All beings will be connected by karma, and then all kinds of dharma will be born. The Tathagata meets all beings. Just say it. There is life and death. "

Taking the birth and death of the body as a cycle is a delusion that it is convenient for the Buddha to follow all beings. For example, "Entering the Shurangama Sutra" said: "If you can't take people, it means that I live with others. Dahui! To say that there is something that can't be self-identical, that is to say, the name should be changed to Buddha, saying that it is an illegal Buddha. One more time, Dahui! It should be said that this is Buddhism, not for the purpose of establishing truth and practicing, to show that the sage, wisdom and samadhi are willing to do things. " . Beginners are born of my thoughts; Get up and meet each other because the heart is now in a state of life and death; Because of my personal experience, we are all born and sick.

Avatar, you can let your thoughts go your way and get to know each other. Without the avatar, there is no convenience. Without convenience, we can't accept the six sentient beings and make everyone happy to practice Buddhism. Therefore, the bodhisattva does not rely on magical powers to measure people, without bodhicitta and Taoist wisdom, and learns from the heart.

The sound and smell, the sense of predestination and the magical power of the Buddha are all obtained from the practice of the divine power of the Buddha. Not one's own bodhisattva can naturally gain magical powers according to the merits of meditation. Those who don't know the reality of the avatar truthfully don't have to worry, such as practicing dharma, doing all kinds of good deeds, accumulating good roots, living in Buddha and living in Dharma. Merit will naturally grow slowly, and it will come naturally. I will be happy in a few days, and the fairy will take it next time.

Scriptures about magical powers in Buddhist scriptures:

Buddha Sutra: "If so, the Buddha showed three kinds of magical powers for them. Make your hair diligent and interesting for Buddha and wisdom. The change of an avatar. Second, it is said that it is an avatar. Third, the divine power has now shifted. "

"Prajna Paramita Sutra": "The Buddhas appeared in the world because of Bodhisattva, ten good ways, four Zen, four boundless hearts, four colorless hearts and five magical powers, if not from the world. For example, when the moon does not rise, the stars are bright and shine on the world. If so, kill the body! When there is no Buddha in the world, all good deeds are born by bodhisattvas. Bodhisattva is convenient and comes from Prajna Paramita. "

"The Sutra of Winning the Heavenly King Prajna Paramita": "Bodhisattva Mahasa learns from Prajna Paramita and walks in Paramita. Bodhisattva Mahasa can subdue heavenly demons, destroy heretics, and is full of merits and wisdom; All Buddhism, all practice, all witness; With magical power, a hair can hold up Jambu-Di^pa, even the fourth, third and even the infinite; Can take all kinds of treasures in the air and give them to all beings; The ten sides are boundless, and all the Buddhist sayings are heard. If you can't see what I can do and what I can do, it makes no difference. I'm out of my nature. It is the famous Bodhisattva who learns Prajna Paramita and reaches Paramita. "

Manjushri said Prajna Paramita Sutra: "Everyone knows that he has lived for a long time and has supported countless Buddhas for a long time. They planted good roots among the Buddhas, achieved sentient beings, purified the Buddha's land, gained Dalagni, enjoyed eloquence, achieved wisdom and achieved full merit. They traveled around the world of Buddhas with their magical powers, emitting boundless light and inexhaustible magic methods, teaching Buddhas to be in the same phase and fearless.

Legend has it that during the Republic of China, the true mage closed his door and often had various realms. So he wrote to consult Yin Guang, a master, and Yin Zufa declared: "What he said often has a boundary, but that's because he didn't really capture his heart and just performed on the spot. If you let the truth occupy your mind, you won't have illusions. If you focus on a Buddhist name, you will be able to eliminate karma and increase your happiness. Why do you often suffer from state? Practice must not be impetuous, seeking the sacred realm and gaining all kinds of magical powers. I just hope the Buddha can respond accordingly. The so-called heart-to-heart Buddha, the whole Buddha is the heart. There is no Buddha outside the heart, and there is no heart outside the Buddha. If so, for example, if the sun is in the sky, the frost and snow will melt. How can there be a realm below the law to worry about body and mind? If it's not as good as your heart, you usually want to see the holy land. If you don't know what you have achieved in the sacred land, you must go to the industry to enjoy your empty position. Otherwise, those who can't get the Tao belong to the realm of magic, that is, the sacred land is useless or has great losses. If you don't know how to improve, you will be happy from now on. If you don't get it, you will go crazy. The Shurangama Sutra says:' Not for the sacred heart, but for the realm of goodness; If you make a holy solution, that is, a group of evil people, this is also called it. Is the realm of broad Confucianism a vulgar realm? But now that mindfulness is mentioned, all the selfish desires and worries in the past can't be overcome, that is to say, even if it happens occasionally, it will be taken care of immediately and quickly extinguished. Metaphor is like a thief coming to his house. If the owner knew it was a thief, his thief would leave at once. If you are a member of your family, your family will be completely looted by thieves "(see Wen Chao Fu's Zhenxing Master Book).

From this point of view, you can prove the Tao without seeking magical powers. If the Tao does not prove, even if there is an avatar, it is also a demon. Therefore, people who study Buddhism should have a rational understanding of the avatar. Can testify, not seek supernatural powers. If the Tao does not prove, even if there is an avatar, it is also a demon. Therefore, people who study Buddhism should have a rational understanding of the avatar.

The six sentient beings, such as heaven, ghosts and gods, have the first five connections in the world more or less because of meditation or birth, but their abilities are also different from shallow to deep. Monty has five other magical powers. However, the sixth level-omission-can only be proved by people who are troubled according to the principles of Confucian classics.

It is mentioned in the Shurangama Sutra that all kinds of illusions that may be encountered in the process of practice are born in the process of practice and centering. If you persist in illusion as a magical power, you will easily be tempted by the devil and enter the magic road.

In fact, the avatar is not the avatar, and it can be made clear in a few words. Helpless, the previous editor quoted a large number of secular articles to explain Buddhism, while Baidu only recognized the number of words, regardless of the content. In order to pass the audit, it is so long and cumbersome.
