Some questions about Buddhism! ! ! very urgent ......

Meet unexpectedly, to be honest.

If you were a real monk, you wouldn't do it, and you wouldn't persuade people to separate; People who really believe in Buddhism don't tell fortune, ask God for advice and listen to people casually. I can only say that they are amateurs and can kill people. Of course, this is also the cause and effect between them. They all believe in themselves and their own interests. Believing in Buddhism is not that easy. If they also believe in Buddhism, it is also superstition (blind worship), not a belief in the unity of knowledge and action.

Attachment: Old Master Kong Jing: Who is the master writing to? For the Buddha, the bodhisattva can only be called a master, not a master.

These sixteen Bodhisattvas, the first "moral guardian", are called "righteous men" here. "Zhengshi" is another name for Bodhisattva. Bodhisattva is usually called loyalty, and we call it Guanyin loyalty and Puxian loyalty. Also known as Zheng Shi, it is enlightenment, just waiting for enlightenment, that is what it means; Shikai, also known as Shikai, means thorough understanding and clear mind, so we call him Shikai. Shi Kai, Zheng Shi and Master are all honorifics for Bodhisattva. In this place, fellow initiates should remember that you can't call it master, teacher or master. You can't. Who does the host speak to? For the Buddha, the bodhisattva can only be called a master, not a master. Now we see that many monks are called masters, which is not a good title. The ancients talked about trespassing. Have you become a Buddha? Only when you become a Buddha can you become a master. Buddha is the teacher of heaven and man. It's too much for you to call yourself a master Guanyin bodhisattva dare not call herself a master. When Manjusri and Pu Xian meet the master, they should bow three times and turn right three times. You are so blessed. Can you overcome it? This is common sense and we need to understand it.

We respect others by respecting them, but when we go too far, we will become disrespectful. For example, we respect people and call you sir when we meet them, which is very respectful. If we meet someone and call you Mr. President, isn't that a curse? Isn't it? You are not the president. I see you, Mr. President. Hello, too many. You must understand this. When you meet a monk who calls him Master, you go too far, which means that we call him Mr. President, which is not worthy of his name. We should know common sense. Nowadays people are so ignorant that they don't even have this common sense of Buddhism. They think that calling a master is respect, and they don't know what it really means. This shouldn't be.

Look at Yin Guang. We call him Yin Guang Master. After his father died, he is no longer alive. We can call him that. When he was alive, you see, what did the Indian mage spread when he was alive? "Printing master paper money" is not a master. After his old man's death, we didn't "print the master's money". Look at the early, first out of the "printing master notes." Yin zu himself has never been called a master. In front of him, people decided not to call him a master because he wanted to curse.

So in our Buddhism, there are some established names. In the past dynasties, each Sect was called "the founder" and was the founder of a certain Sect; It is called "Master", which translates the classic monk mage, but is not called Master or Monk mage; Those who can come into contact with Confucian classics are "Confucian classics" and wizards; Those who know the law are called "lawyers"; Knowing Tibet is a common thing, and it is called "discussing teachers". Where did you hear about a master? No one dares to call it that. In the past, teachers who were emperors were called "Buddhist teachers". Now we are reading Hua Yan. Cool master is the emperor's teacher. He is called a Buddhist, but he dare not be called a master.

But you should know that only the founder of Pure Land Sect can be called a master, which is recognized by all dynasties. The founders of other sects are not masters, only Pure Land Sect. Why? Pure land religious people become Buddhas on an equal footing all their lives, and all Buddhas use this method. Today, you also use this method to persuade people to become Buddhas on an equal footing, just like Buddhas, so only the founder of Pure Land Sect can be called a master.
