When the Buddha was preaching to all sentient beings, 500 wild geese heard the Buddha's voice and flew to the Buddha. When he went to Jinshan Temple, he saw 500 Arhats and sighed: I am a monk from the west, why did I end up in the emperor's house?

cultivation into righteousness

The Buddhist scriptures are as vast as a sea,

There are 80,000 gates.

How to start practicing Buddhism? How can

achieve positive results?

When the Buddha was preaching the Dharma to all sentient beings, 500 geese heard the Buddha's voice, and

they flew in front of the Buddha to listen to the Buddha's Dharma.

Later, he was reincarnated and became 500 Arhats.

He cultivated to the right fruition. When the Kangxi emperor visited Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, he saw 500 Arhats and sighed: I am a poor man from the West, why did I end up in the emperor's house?

It turns out that he

is also the reincarnation of Arhat.

These 500 Arhats

have names and surnames,

are male and female,

are both romantic and wise,

are rich and full.

Buddhism pays attention to compassion,

it is doing good deeds,

it is from rubbing right and wrong to calming down disputes,

Therefore, in the Eastern China

, there appeared

Amitabha in every household, and

Guanshiyin in every household.

.

Buddhism is also quite interesting.

It pays attention to fate.

Therefore, since ancient times,

there has been a saying of transitioning in the same boat and

practicing every 500 years.

So,

The "Heart Sutra" emphasizes the nature of dependent origination, emptiness, and the mind without worries.

" Diamond Sutra " talks about sweeping away external attachments

internally breaking attachments.

" Infinite Life Sutra " tells the story of the Pure Land, the Dharmagarbha Bodhisattva who left the kalpa to practice and entered the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss

and became immortal.

" Perfect Enlightenment Sutra " talks about the wonderful full enlightenment and free living. If you are disturbed by lust, you will be able to act properly after you regain your composure.

"The Brahma Net Sutra" talks about the light or heavy precepts for the progress of spiritual practice.

The Temple Sutra talks about becoming a Buddha with one's heart, becoming a Buddha through sudden enlightenment, and seeking liberation in the world.

" Surangama Sutra " talks about the triangular relationship between

Buddhist principles, practice, and

attainment of enlightenment. "The Interpretation of the Deep Secret Sutra" talks about the relationship between

the external world and the inner world.

"Vimalakīrti Sutra" talks about the purity of mind, that is, the pureness of Buddha Land, which is the non-dual method of going in and out.

The Lankavatara Sutra talks about the integration of nothingness and existence,

the Zen of initiation.

"The Golden Light Sutra" tells the story of sacrificing oneself to save others, showing great compassion, and cultivating one's qualities.

The Lotus Sutra teaches that all living beings have Buddha nature. The Buddha-nature advocates the Sravaka Vehicle, Pratyekabuddha Vehicle, and Bodhisattva Vehicle.

"The Sutra of 42 Chapters" tells the story of the impermanence of life,

staying away from desires and returning to one's true nature.

As the saying goes, foreign monks like to recite sutras. Although I am not a monk,

but as long as you have a general understanding of the above 13 sutras,

then,

you will basically understand the meaning of Buddhism and

Got it.
