Sixth, joining the WTO or being born.

On this issue, the instructor started with what the world is, analyzed that the average person has two main emotions about the world: greed and alienation, and compared the understanding of the world by various religions.

In view of the misunderstanding of Buddhism's world-weariness, the tutor analyzed the system and reasons of becoming a monk and pointed out that this view is one-sided. Because the alienation emphasized by Buddhism is different from world-weariness, its goal is to pursue liberation. Worldweariness is passive, and alienation is active. It is the choice after seeing through the truth of life with Buddhist wisdom, and then we must improve our practice. Mahayana Buddhism, in particular, should be merciful to all beings. We should understand the illusion that there is a law, and cultivate a detached mentality; We should also be positive, altruistic and compassionate, and cultivate good deeds. So Buddhism has both detached feelings and compassionate feelings.

Seventh, heartless or affectionate?

Through what is "love", what Buddhism calls "sentimentality" and how Buddhism views love, the tutor points out that all beings are bound by ignorance, love and reincarnation. Only by transcending troubles and persistence can we achieve compassion and love. In response to the question of whether becoming a monk is ruthless, the tutor pointed out that secular feelings are tainted, based on ignorance, greed and self-persistence, and are the cause of life and death. On the basis of wisdom, feelings from faith and respect are not polluted. As a disciple of Buddha, we should care for all sentient beings with compassion like Buddha and Bodhisattva. The so-called "love is the Buddha's heart."

Eighth, follow the fate or forge ahead.

The tutor pointed out that "karma" is related to the Buddhist understanding of cause and effect. Fate is not "follow me", nor is it "casually" passive and helpless, but a wise choice made after sizing up the situation and seeing all kinds of karma. Follow fate to make better progress, and the two complement each other. Everything in the world must have the wisdom of fate in order to have clear goals and correct methods. Looking at the world and life with the wisdom of origin can not only achieve the cause of the world, but also understand the truth of life, prove the empty wisdom and complete the awakening and liberation of life.
