Is prayer useful?
People often ask questions. In fact, prayer is very necessary and useful. Here's how to pray correctly. It is very important to pray for the blessing and practice of saints. In fact, every yogi should always pray for the addition of the three treasures. No matter what method he practices, it is very important to pray for the blessing of the guru. Let's understand prayer from four aspects: the context of prayer, the necessity of prayer, the content of prayer and the conditions of prayer. First, the object of prayer: it is our teacher's Sakyamuni Buddha and saints. Second, the necessity of prayer: we need help to finish things. For example, if the traffic is convenient from here to sertar county, do we need to walk? Obviously not. For another example, if we want a large number of Confucian classics, if we have advanced printing equipment, do we want to copy word by word or rely on printing equipment? Obviously, everyone is willing to use help and their own efforts to get things done quickly with great help. When practicing dharma, Sambo is the best of all helpers, and there is no more powerful counterpart. Even if we succeed in the little things in life, we are willing to rely on foreign things to help us. Why don't we want to rely on the three treasures when we practice the law? It doesn't make sense. Why is the Sambo the most extraordinary Buddhist practice? Buddha Sakyamuni made 500 wishes on the land and became a Buddha, full of wisdom and compassion. The Buddhist scriptures say: whoever is a Buddha, the Buddha will live in front of his heart and always bless him; As long as you remember the Buddha, you can also get rid of loneliness. Moreover, the compassion of the Buddha surrounds the hearts of all sentient beings, without a moment's pause or a gap in the dust. Whenever and wherever all beings pray, the Buddha is destined to come. "The Theory of Precious Nature" says: "If there is no difference between a blessing and a blessing, there will be no diligence to do what you want, and if you can be diligent, you will respond to the opportunity, and altruism will always exist." Some people think: does Buddha bless me to achieve four views? A: When he asks for something, he will try his best to help the good people in the world. Moreover, since the Buddha doesn't force me, he has reached the realm of equality, with great wishes for past life, great compassion around him, omniscient wisdom and unimpeded integration ability. Why didn't he bless you when you prayed for him? Some people think: I pray to the Buddha, does the Buddha know? A: According to the scripture, the Buddha can know all the hearts of sentient beings and the hearts of the three worlds in an instant without any confusion. For example, as long as there is enough karma, even if we are far away, we can still hear the voice on the other end of the phone. Moreover, the Buddha's compassion is around us. Will the Buddha not know that we pray for him? As the scripture says: "In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, Buddha is merciful all over the world, and all living beings know his mercy. The benevolent has unparalleled grace, the world is everywhere, and the roots are everywhere, so you know nothing. " Some people think: can I accept the Buddha's blessing? A: As long as the place of origin corresponds, it is of course acceptable. For example, when a TV station emits radio waves, all information can appear on the TV as long as people tune the channel. By the same token, as long as there is respect and confidence, there will inevitably be the blessing of the Buddha's great compassion. When praying for the perfection of the Buddha's faith, the self-mind can be fully blessed by the Buddha. "Precious Nature Theory" said: "If there are virtues such as pure faith, it is a heartfelt wait." Some people think: I can practice by myself without relying on the three treasures. Why do you just want to practice by yourself? Even if you can accomplish the little things in the world, you still need a lot of help. Now that you know the merits of Sambo, not praying can only show that you don't really believe in Buddhism and Bodhisattva. If you have enough confidence, before you do anything important, you will pray for the three treasures like Goodall in order to finish it quickly. Sambo has an incredible ability to take in everything in a glance. This is not superstition, but a true fact. Here are a few examples to illustrate: During the Liu and Song Dynasties in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, an Indian monk invited Master Bodhi to read the Huayan Sutra. When he came to Korea, more than 700 people asked him to speak Hua Yan Jing, but he could not speak Chinese, so he prayed diligently and devoutly. One night, he dreamed that a man had a sword in one hand and a head in the other. He cut off his head and replaced it with the head in his hand. Qiu Na badra is therefore proficient in Chinese and has spoken Hua Yan Jing for dozens of times. In ancient times, there was a liberated monk who practiced Buddhism and light in the northern lay of Wutai Mountain, according to the Huayan Jing. He prayed to Manjusri Bodhisattva, who appeared and said, "Why do you worship me? You can repent and blame yourself. " Later, he went to search for it himself and realized emptiness, so he had to pay tribute to the buddhas to prove his karma. As a result, he felt that the Buddhas appeared and said to him, "The Buddhas are very silent, and it is worthwhile to rob the practice today. If you can open this eye, all Buddhas will be happy. " In the Song Dynasty, Zen master Yongming devoted himself to pure business and studied the scriptures for three years. Now he saw Guanyin Bodhisattva pour nectar into his mouth and gained Guanyin eloquence. For example, when the omniscient Maipeng Rinpoche lived in Zongsa Temple, there was a great wise man like the bright moon in the stars in the three monasteries in Lhasa, and he agreed to debate with the omniscient Maipeng Rinpoche the next day. That evening, the omnipotent Maipeng Rinpoche personally saw the sword sutra held by Manjusri Bodhisattva, all of which turned into five bright spots and merged into his heart. From then on, the venerable master fully understood the meaning of the whole Tibetan land as the sea. Moreover, the omniscient Mai Peng Rinpoche, no matter what kind of paper he makes, Manjusri Bodhisattva shines and blesses from the heart, and the light blends into his heart, opening up his treasure house of wisdom, so the venerable master can successfully make a paper at a miraculous speed in a very short time. For example, when Guru/Kloc-was 0/5 years old, he had extremely fierce confidence in dzogchen, prayed for the omniscient Maipeng Rinpoche, and when he read the prayer one million times in a short time and "pointing to the heart" 10,000 times, he showed great consciousness. Manjusri Bodhisattva is now Maipeng Rinpoche, the all-knowing figure of the guru. She learned the scriptures in the form of illusion and gave the guru the good name of "Awang Luozhu Zongmei". Those who have made great achievements mentioned above have received incredible blessings by praying for the Three Treasures. As ordinary people, we need to pray for the blessings of our teachers and saints in order to achieve the merits of practicing Buddhism. Therefore, to complete the revision of the law, we need to rely on the most extraordinary help-the three treasures. "Cherish Nature" said: "Ignorance is blindness, but there is drowning in the sea. Jaken hides all sentient beings, depending on the strong light of the Buddha and the sun, and the light should be invisible. " Ordinary people, ignorant but wise, indulge in the boundless sea of suffering, covered by the darkness of Jaken, where they will always be happy and clean, relying on the light of Buddha sun gear, they can also see the wonderful practice they have never seen before. Third, the content of prayer: In short, whatever you want to do, you should pray. As far as this guide is concerned, if you practice four views in a building, you should pray that the three treasures can really be born, such as realizing multi-body, impermanence, suffering and selflessness. If you practice the concept of impermanence alone, pray from one of his buildings and bless the concept of impermanence. This is the content of prayer. Fourth, the conditions of prayer: Li Meng's respect and trust. If you have faith, you will be blessed by the three treasures, and the size of the blessing depends on the degree of faith. With a little respect, you will get a little blessing; If you have great respect, you will be blessed. If faith is extremely beneficial, then blessings will be completely integrated into each other. Relying on the powerful God of Three Treasures, we can turn our ignorant and dark hearts into extraordinary wisdom and quickly realize the concept of Buddhism. After that, I prayed from the bottom of my heart with intense interest and belief: sitting here, I only wish to bless me and all sentient beings, and I can have a pure heart to practice.
