Therefore, no matter in nature, depth and breadth. Not even bodhicitta. Just "kindness" Let's explain "bodhicitta":
"Bodhi", translated as "enlightenment", here refers to "supreme bodhi": the "enlightenment" of achieving supreme Buddha fruit is to become a Buddha;
"Bodhicitta", the full name of which is "Apdoro's three virtues and three bodhicitta" (supreme enlightenment), is the heart of becoming a Buddha;
To "develop bodhicitta" means to develop "amitabha's three virtues and three bodhicitta", that is, to develop a heart with supreme consciousness. In a simple word, it is necessary to send the heart of "seeking Buddha and Tao, and descending all beings".
The content of this bodhicitta is "all beings have endless wishes, troubles are endless wishes, Buddhism is endless wishes, and Buddhism is infinite wishes."
1. Bodhicitta is the first step to becoming a Buddha.
The primary purpose of our study of Buddhism is: to leave the sea of life and death and not be influenced by the six divisions in the wheel of karma;
The ultimate goal of our study of Buddhism: to seek supreme Buddhism; Sublimate infinite beings.
"All sentient beings have endless wishes, endless troubles, endless Buddhism, and endless Buddhism." Also known as "the buddhas made this wish when they were on the ground." Without these four wishes, all buddhas can't become buddhas, and Buddhism will become water without a source and a tree without roots.
In order to achieve Buddhism and Taoism, it is natural for Farr to do so.
If you don't have the heart to seek Buddha and Tao, how can you get Buddha fruit?
There is the Huayan Sutra as evidence: "Bodhicitta is the seed of all buddhas, which can give birth to the Buddhism of all buddhas. "
2. Bodhisattva is the standard to distinguish bodhisattva from non-bodhisattva.
"Bodhisattva": the full name is Bodhisattva, which means "awakening", Bodhisattva means "sentient beings" and literally translates as "feeling sentient beings"; It is interpreted as "awakened beings" on many occasions. In fact, at the end of this explanation, I thought it was just one aspect, referring to the "true bodhisattva" rather than the "ordinary bodhisattva". Q: Since you are "awakened", are you still an ordinary person? A: In principle, there is no other way to become a Buddha. As far as things are concerned, every saint is different for the second reason. Therefore, in this sense, the awakened one is no longer an ordinary person.
"Diamond Sutra": "No sentient beings lose their degrees". Why? Without the four aspects, the achievement is destroyed, and there is no longer love.
"Bodhisattva" should be interpreted as "Kuboth's sentimentality", that is, "a walker seeking Buddha and Tao". This is more comprehensive.
So bodhicitta (seeking Buddha and Tao) is a bodhisattva; A man without a heart is not a bodhisattva, even if he has magical powers and even compassion!
Hua Yan Jing also proves that "forgetting bodhicitta and practicing Buddhism is a famous magic industry"
3. Bodhicitta can eliminate felony.
Each of us, in the past, never started to rob, "created all kinds of bad karma, endless." If this evil karma has a physical appearance, it is unbearable in an empty world. "("the wish of samantabhadra "). Therefore, eliminating sin barriers is a shortcut to learn Buddhism.
"You Po Sai Jie Jing" says: "A good man and a wise man have bodhicitta, that is, they can destroy bad karma and other fruits, such as Xumishan."
4. Bodhi Mind and Pure Land in Past Lives
Master Tanluan's Notes on Past Lives: "After three generations of infinite life, although there are advantages and disadvantages, they all have the heart of supreme bodhi." This supreme bodhicitta means becoming a Buddha. To be a Buddha's heart is to measure the heart of all beings. To measure the hearts of all beings is to absorb the hearts of all beings born with Buddha. Therefore, people who want to live in a peaceful and pure land should have supreme bodhicitta. If a person has no supreme bodhicitta, but hears that his country is enjoying endless happiness and is willing to live for happiness, he should not live. "
Wu Chu, the Zen master, said, "It is really life and death, and it is bodhicitta, so that we can firmly believe in our wishes and keep the Buddha's name." This word 16 can be regarded as "Pure Land Project".
To sum up, we know that enlightenment is only a necessary checkpoint on the road. The heart is "seeking Buddhism and Taoism, and descending all beings"; It is a symbol of real learning Buddha; It is a symbol of ordinary bodhisattva; It is the fundamental reason for becoming a Buddha. Its body is vast, and its virtue is boundless. All scholars should show great bodhicitta!
Quote Master Sheng 'an's "Persuade Bodhicitta" to show the importance and urgency of expressing one's mind;
"Those who enter the Tao will get to the door, headed by the heart; It's urgent to practice. Make a wish first. Willing to stand, then all beings can be measured; If you have the heart, you will achieve Buddhism and Taoism. If your heart is not big, make a firm wish; Then, despite the dust robbery, it is still reincarnation; Although there is practice, it is always in vain. Therefore, Hua Yanyun said, "Forgetting bodhicitta and practicing Buddhism is a famous magic industry.". Just forget about the loss. Is the situation over? So I know that if you want to learn to drive, you must first have a bodhisattva wish and you can't delay. "
At the end of the study, I would like to take this opportunity to reply, hoping that all those who hear it will always hold the five precepts or even two precepts and one precept; Or hold five precepts or even two precepts and one precept at a time; Or people who believe in Buddhism and are willing to learn Buddhism. Don't sell yourself short, be a bodhicitta; This fact is the first essence of learning Buddhism.
I would like to use this merit to solemn the pure land of Buddha;
Reward four kinds of kindness and help three kinds of Tao;
If you have seen and heard of people, you will learn bodhicitta;
Do this report and live together in heaven.
