Why do you want to learn Buddhism?

Lead: Now, more and more people are beginning to learn Buddhism. What are the advantages of learning Buddhism? Let's get to know it together!

Sakyamuni Buddha was once an ordinary man a long time ago, wandering in samsara like us. Ordinary people finally stepped out of the six divisions in the wheel of karma, and at the same time taught other sentient beings how to get rid of suffering. The Buddha didn't force us to follow his teachings. He just said, I have been there, I experienced the confusion and difficulties you are suffering now, and then I got rid of it. The way I get rid of it is this. If that's what you want, go the same way. Because of this, we often add an honorific before addressing this experienced person by name. Supreme sense of justice? , and respectfully call him? This teacher? .

So? Buddha? What does this mean? What is its pronunciation in Sanskrit? Buda? Chinese translation? Buddha? , called in Tibetan? Sanjay? , is just. The so-called enlightened person? Positive? Is to correct all sins. Sleep? Is to realize all wisdom. Among them, consciousness has two meanings: consciousness and consciousness. Conscious? It is the truth that everything in the universe is completely achieved; ? Feel him? It is this wisdom that promotes Buddhism and frees all sentient beings from their misery.

Therefore, in this world, only Buddha can fundamentally eradicate the suffering of all sentient beings. This is not because we are Buddhists that we worship our teachers desperately to attract more people to Buddhism. In fact, the spirit of Buddhism is open, and all living beings have the freedom to choose their beliefs, and they will not force people into religion by force. Even Buddhism stipulates:? Don't talk without confidence. ? For those who have no confidence, you can't preach Buddhism to them. Only those who have connections can change.

In all the days of mankind, the Buddha was the only mentor. Hua Yanjing said:? It's just that besides waiting for enlightenment, teachers are the best, and among all the heaven and man, no one can ask for help. ? Therefore, the only way to get temporary and real happiness is to convert to Sakyamuni Buddha. Only in this way can the sinful karma, pain and troubles be removed from the beginning. Therefore, we are fortunate to meet Buddhism and convert to Buddhism, and the blessings are indeed quite remarkable.

So, what are the benefits of learning Buddhism? It's not what the world thinks, just for treating diseases, telling fortune, playing divination and performing some rituals. You know the basic teachings of Buddhism, right? Don't do evil, do good and purify yourself? This is particularly important, and everyone must be clear.

In the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi, a great writer, went to visit monk Daolin. He asked: What is the general idea of Buddhism?

The Zen master replied:? Don't do evil, do good. ?

Bai Juyi was very disappointed: how can the famous Zen master's bird's nest be so ordinary and have no mystery at all? So he said crossly:? This is a truth that a three-year-old child knows. ?

The Zen master said:? Although three-year-olds know that 80-year-olds can't do it. ?

Visible,? Do good instead of evil? Anyone can say that, but if everyone asks himself: Can it really be done? Most people are probably ashamed. Therefore, learning Buddhism can't just stay in words, but must be implemented.

However, from another perspective, I am really lucky to meet Buddhism in my life. The difference of Buddhism lies not in our own admiration, but in the common recognition of countless wise men throughout the ages and many religions in the world. In particular, I said in class not long ago that in July 2009, the International United Religious Association held a meeting in Geneva, and 200 religious leaders unanimously voted that Buddhism is? The best religion in the world? , and awarded? Best religious world award? . For this result, representatives of Muslims, Catholics and Jews all said that it is not unusual for Buddhism to win this honor, because in the past history, there has never been any war in the name of Buddhism, and Buddhism is all compassionate and helps all sentient beings in the world. At that time, although only a few Buddhist representatives attended the meeting, they received the highest number of votes and voices.

Especially now, natural and man-made disasters occur frequently, and disasters occur one after another in the world. In this environment, although the role of other religions is not excluded, the spirit of Buddhism is the most useful. I heard a news today that an Indian plane ran off the runway when landing, killing at least 160 people. A few days ago, thousands of people died in Yushu earthquake, more than 55,000 people died in Wenchuan earthquake, 200,000 people died in Haiti earthquake (another 500,000 people died), and nearly 300,000 people died in Indonesia tsunami? These people are all connected with us by flesh and blood, but in the event of natural disasters, their lives will be lost in an instant. Buddha told us these impermanent truths a long time ago, and also warned people to choose cause and effect, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be more and more pain in the future.
