The Significance of Confession in Chinese Studies

Repentance is the fourth wish among the ten vows of Bodhisattva, and the third wish among the seven tantric vows, which is an important first step on the road of spiritual practice.

According to the three poisons, the self-nature of sin refers to what I have done. This recovery has the ability to do it by myself and teach him to do it, or he is happy when he does it. Always take everything? All kinds of bad karma. ? We should remember all these mistakes, repent first and then prevent them, and then forget them, so that what we did in the past will prevent it from growing and what we will do in the future will prevent it from continuing.

"The Daily Mage" confessed like this:

The first few branches are along the edge. This is a branch to prevent this negative edge and prevent pollution. This one can't be done well, and the others can't be done well. It's all mixed poison! This is particularly important. So what? All the bad things I did in the past? Why do you want to create all kinds of bad karma? Did it all start with greed and ignorance? There are three things called greed, anger and stupidity. Ordinary programs are called ignorance when they are mentioned, or they are called sexual confusion and thinking confusion. We can see it. No matter what you say, 108 worries and so on. The beginning and the end are different, and the content is the same. Because of this, what comes from one's own mouth is nothing but a mistake. ? Is it guilty? I did it myself. Then, this self-doing has three aspects: self-doing, teaching him to do it, and treating it as a happy way. We don't pay much attention to this place, but we are often prone to make mistakes. For example, I don't get along well with someone, and then what is the mood of gloating? That's it. Look at him, your enemy, suffering, your heart: deserved it! Serve you right! I'm so happy, this guy, what a suck! Suffer! ? You still think it makes sense. What are you doing? Therefore, in this precept, don't say bhikkhu, that is, you have one of the five precepts, which is meaningless. I didn't understand it then, but I understand it now. As for the witness, if he commits a crime, let you be a witness. What you see, you say: Yes! I saw him. ? No way! I said:? He obviously committed a crime. I was just telling the truth. Do you want me to lie? Think about it. Why? Otherwise, the Buddha is not as good as you. You are right. If you believe in Buddha, this place has a key, so don't say he is wrong. If I'm here, it seems justified, that's all, no! Forget Buddhism and Buddhism. Do you remember the best typical story Kong Old Master Q told us? There was a man, a father and son. His father stole a sheep, and then his son went on a reconnaissance and said that my father had stolen a sheep. People say this man is straight! Kong Old Master Q listened and shook his head. The father is hidden as the son, and the son is hidden as the father, straight in it? I think you may have heard of this case. The way saints teach people is really beyond our ignorance and ignorance.

It shows that no matter the saints in the world or the saints in the world, their attitudes are all like this. Suppose you think I'm better than Buddha and Kong Old Master Q, then you can do whatever you want. Suppose you think we are in ignorance, I'm sorry, then this concept must be questioned first; You don't have to destroy it at once. Look for it first. Why is he like this? Why am I like this? In this case, I think you can probably change. I don't talk about confession here, nor do I delve into it; When we really talk about that confession in the future, we will emphasize and explain it in particular. Officially, if I say happy, the dirty methods in your happy world will certainly increase evil; It's wonderful that you take pleasure in the wonderful and clean method. Among our top ten wishes now, the easiest one to repair is to follow the merits of joy. That's a pity, now we don't like merits and dislikes! In any case, this merit can be increased at any time as long as it is used properly. So, first of all, what about the evil created? Be sure to film the following sentences. We should remember all these mistakes. ? When he wants us to repent, first of all, we should understand what repentance is. I regret what I did before: how could I be so bad and do such a wrong thing! Because you thought it was wrong before, then you can talk about repentance. Now we often say: I am ashamed, I repent? What are you ashamed of and repentant of? He still feels very proud in his heart. This means that I can feel ashamed and repent. That has nothing to do with repentance and shame. You talk about shame and repentance, but in your heart it's just the opposite. Shameful behavior is that you think you have done something wrong and want to cure yourself.

But we usually have this problem. When I talk about shame, I mean I know how to feel ashamed. That's completely high and slow, and it's the opposite. So you really have to repent, you must know that I have a problem, and then, regret this. Excuse me, when you repent, do you regret it? Maybe there are regrets. Do you know what you regret? Suppose you don't understand, what do you confess? At the same time, if you admit that you are wrong, there must be a good and correct standard. At that time, you can measure first and then compare. This is right, this is wrong, just like comparing * * * votes, the bill of one to two is very clear. Therefore, your true repentance must be to clarify the correct line; The wrong line is obvious. Then at that time, you will know how much merit you have done right and how much harm you have done wrong. At that time, your heart was so uncomfortable and painful. This is called confession.

I'm not saying that I worship eighty-eight Buddhas every day, how many times, and then what I worship, word for word, is merit. Always remember this sentence. I definitely didn't mean to belittle him, but it's a long way to go in Xiu Yuan, so why do you often say that we have done a lot of merits and demerits in our practice? If you do it right: why can he do it all his life? Concepts are all in this place. So, why is circular teaching good? He didn't ask you to fix it at first. At the beginning, divide the road clearly and understand the road clearly. This line is very clear, so you do everything, you know this is right and this is mixed. Take off the contaminated ones immediately, like this! Because of this relationship, how many forces can he resist with one thought, how many years can he resist in a day, even hundreds, thousands, several robberies, and so on. So we will study slowly in this place in the future. Corporal finished his lecture and repented at that important time. It was okay then. I told you in advance that if you learn this to confess, it will have an immediate effect. Never say it's been ten or eight years. When he is dying, let's see if he is sober by then. No, you don't have to. You don't need others to see you. You know it clearly now. So the scripture tells us that it will be repaired in the morning and we will know at night. Do you blame progress? You fix it at night and you'll know tomorrow morning.

Why wait until tomorrow morning? Now you know the idea of mending. Therefore, the accumulation of merits is so, and the confession of karma is also this place. If you can do this, heart? At that time, you will be in your heart, really, not vague. Seeing that I made a mistake before, you can't stand your own mistakes! At that time, what I said earlier made sense, just like taking a picture of that mirror, taking a black spot on your face, taking a black spot on your face, asking people to take a look at it at most and saying how dark you are? Now if you shine on the black spots on your body and mind, the fire of hell is waiting here, and you can't stand it! I see! Therefore, it will definitely go straight to the heart. It's not enough now Why? Don't understand! If we suffer a little pain, our heads will hurt and we will feel dizzy. Good health, the food is not nutritious, and everyone can't stand it. Can't you stand the pain of hell? Speaking of ignorance! So I often say, we've been repairing it for a long time. Repaired it? Me? What Buddhism is practiced there?

It is extremely easy to practice Buddhism, because it is extremely difficult for me to practice Buddhism. This is the reason. My heart just can't lift it. If I want to meditate, why is my heart so confused? If you want to read Buddha, why not? The following will give us the answer, you can do this:? What did the past do to interrupt its growth? What has been done before can be cut off, and what will be blocked in the future will be blocked until then. This won't come again, and then you remove it, and it will be more or less clean. It won't be like this. After half a day's repair, you may have earned three dollars and five dollars, but you posted your book, thirty or fifty dollars, or even three or five million dollars, and you didn't even know it. This is really wrong. Because of this, we read Buddha or worship Buddha, and the name of Buddha was planted here, saying that it was not worthwhile to prove a Siraitia grosvenorii at that time. That's the difference.

We should think more about and observe these evil negligence disasters. After understanding them, we will naturally regret-how did we do such a bad thing! Regret what you have done before. Never do it now, but protect it later. This is true repentance. Otherwise, even if you feel regret at present, if you don't protect yourself in the future, this kind of confession will have no effect. This theory will tell us seriously later. Therefore, we should sincerely wake up from the heart, remove the previous mistakes, so that what we have done before will not grow, and what we have not done will not be done again. This is the meaning of confession.
