Believing in Buddhism is not superstition, and Buddhism is not religion. Buddhism is the education of Buddhism and the education of a complete life. People who come into contact with Buddhism for the first time often have a superficial understanding of Buddhism. They believe that burning incense, worshipping Buddha and asking Bodhisattva to bless them for promotion and wealth, avoiding disasters, marrying and having children, are just believing in Buddhism. In fact, these are ordinary people asking for cash rewards! No matter how rich a person is in this life, he can only enjoy it for decades, and no amount of money and wealth can be brought to the world after death! Therefore, true Buddhists practice the afterlife, not the present.
To truly understand the purpose of believing in Buddhism, we must first understand why Sakyamuni gave up inheriting the glorious throne and decided to become a monk.
That's because Sakyamuni went to four places: seeing, getting sick, getting old and dying! Alas, no amount of wealth will eventually become loess! In order to seek a cure to overcome physical illness and death, he resolutely decided to give up inheriting the throne and become a monk.
So from here, we have to understand that the purpose of believing in Buddhism should obviously be: birth and death. (completely understand: where to come from and where to go)
Through years of hard training, Sakyamuni gained the eye contact of the Buddha and discovered the western paradise.
Sakyamuni's greatest contribution is to introduce the merciful Amitabha Buddha and the western paradise to all beings.
As the saying goes, the only way to get rid of life and death is to make a wish to go to Elysium, because once you go to Elysium, you will be out of the six divisions in the wheel of karma, and you will be old, sick, dead and carefree. Never look back until you become a Buddha.
Da Deyun and Shang said: Those who don't want to live in bliss are either stupid or crazy!
Buddhism stinks. ! Buddhism is hard to find! Famous teachers are hard to meet! Individuals are rare! If you lose your life, you will never come back!
Buddhism smells bad today, but I seldom get it now. If I don't go to Buddhism, when can I spend it?
Some people read several Buddhist scriptures and think that learning Buddhism means "educating all beings". It is good to have this motivation, but it is not completely practical. Ways can be used, but how can an ordinary person educate an ordinary person? Salvation This is the realm of Buddha and Bodhisattva coming again. How to talk about work before studying? Generally speaking, Elysium is like a university, and Buddha and Bodhisattva are like civil servants. How can you be a civil servant if you haven't even been admitted to the university?
The way to be admitted to Elysium University is very simple. The most important thing is that you should recite the name of Amitabha wholeheartedly, because Amitabha is the principal. Even if your grades are not ideal, you can still make an exception by relying on Amitabha's compassion.
Once admitted to Elysium University, we will study there for thousands of years! I have listened to Amitabha's lectures for thousands of years!
Therefore, Amitabha is our closest family, even closer than our parents. Parents can only take care of us for decades, while Amitabha can take care of us for thousands of years!
If you can't give up your parents, help them live in bliss. Only in this way can you stay in bliss with your parents for thousands of years!
