The reason why I like reading and still enjoy reading after many years of becoming a monk is bound to be in-depth. This must be what he believes in and must be something he deeply understands and verifies.

Li Shutong said that even though he has been a monk for more than 30 years, he still likes to read books such as good and evil cause and effect and the effectiveness of Bodhisattvas. The reason why I like reading and still enjoy reading after many years of becoming a monk is bound to be in-depth. This must be what he believes in and must be something he deeply understands and verifies.

, follow the example of following the ancestors

And how many of us descendants can surpass the great wisdom and wisdom of our ancestors? Therefore, we are also walking on the road of imitating the wise men of our ancestors, looking at them and taking them as our model. Then, as time goes by, as our hearts become increasingly pious, we find that our ancestors have not deceived us. The so-called saying that values, thoughts, and beliefs can travel through time and space can really exist. That kind of Sanskrit sound, the sound of nature, is not empty.

I remember Master Xingyun said: A person's laziness, anger, fear, fear, jealousy, arrogance, arrogance, greed, cowardice... and other psychology and behavior are all pathologically considered by Buddhism. Sick things are cancers that make people feel at ease or calm inside. They deprive us of the right to be happy.

Master Xingyun told the world with the principles of Buddhism: when people come to the world, they must enjoy joy, not suffering. It means that the difference between heaven and hell depends entirely on your heart, whether you want the heart of the Bodhisattva or the devil. This includes many aspects, including a lot of things in it. So, let’s talk about the text mentioned at the beginning of , Master Hongyi, , Li Shutong.

2. What is the simple and visible cause and effect?

When you get angry and complain, your world is the sea of ​​fire and bitter water. Think about it, maybe you are too paranoid and greedy. Not only do you want your children to be filial, but you also have to be outstanding. Maybe you are too harsh on the people around you: your husband should be caring, knowledgeable, elegant ambitions, and make more money. And forcing, greed, and harshness are themselves "says that Buddha said".

After getting angry, retribution comes, your health becomes worse, your practice goes backwards, your family becomes more disharmonious, and you have less energy and spirit to try to live happier, happier and better. If this life goes on like this, when you leave this world, you will definitely feel guilty, regretful, and regretful; for those who have faith, you will definitely be afraid that you will live more bitterly and sadly in the next life. No one wants that. Those who can leave peacefully are likely to be able to treat others well and have a tolerant mind.

3, what is our country?

In our country, even some scholars and professors who do not believe in rebirth in the Pure Land will ask when they are dying: "Where am I going?" He will also ask the master to preach and read the scriptures for himself, and finally walk away from this dust with a relaxed and satisfying heart, and even hope for a better next life. Master Hsing Yun’s books mention such a famous Hong Kong professor.

So, in our cultural atmosphere, our hearts are all eager to be reborn in the Pure Land, and we are all willing to believe in the statement of good and evil causal relationship. Because our ancestors had such faith. Li Shutong explained to us the causal reincarnation in Buddhist teachings in an easy-to-understand tone, saying that people are not only in one life, but also in two or three lives. He said that we should not be short-sighted and only see that "if a person who is favored in the world is not rewarded", and then we arbitrarily give up the rare opportunity to do good deeds and accumulate virtue in this life.

So far, I think the people in our country are still different from those in the Western world.Foreigners believe that life is life and death is death. There is no connection between the two. They live whatever they want and ignore responsibilities and ethics. They will die as they want. Even if they commit suicide, it has nothing to do with their relatives, and will not bring any consequences or pain to others, and they will not believe in the theory of reincarnation.

4, ending chapter

To be reborn in the Pure Land, you must die well, you must practice well in your life, cultivate a good temper, cultivate a good family, cultivate a good partner, and cultivate a good cause and condition for a lifetime. In this way, everything will have a happy ending. Even if you are not qualified to be reborn in the Pure Land, you will not have many regrets and despair. Just be worthy of being a human being for a lifetime.

At present, that's what I think.
