How does Buddha choose sandalwood?

The first kind: body fragrance

Anyone who has read the story of the old monk Xu Yun knows that the old monk has been practicing for many years and is an enlightened monk. According to the disciples around him, the old monk's life and diet are particularly simple. He often doesn't take a bath for several months, but he can exude a pleasant fragrance. This is the true performance of practicing kung fu. It comes from hard work and persistence day and night, which opens up the supreme wisdom of the self and the natural fragrance from the inside out.

For ordinary people, although they can't reach such a high level without practicing kung fu, they can also adjust their energy state through their own actions. Starting from the small things around us, being kind to others, constantly doing good deeds and accumulating virtues for the benefit of others, although this is not the so-called practice in Buddhism, it is the most real and practical practice.

The second kind: fragrant language.

The role of words cannot be underestimated. If we can start from our own "mouth", constantly say kind words, encourage and inspire others, sincerely answer questions, relieve their inner anxiety and troubles, make them physically and mentally stable, full of hope for the future, and think about life with a more enlightened attitude, this is good language giving and fearless giving. Wherever we go, we will "spit lotus flowers" and bring happiness, tranquility, self-confidence and a harmonious and beautiful state to others. This is "language fragrance", and Buddha and Bodhisattva will also praise your kind words.

The third kind: Xinxiang

Buddha said that everything comes from the heart. All idealism exists, only knowledge is changed. After the Buddha became a Buddha, he found that everything in the world was born of karma, and everything was changing, coming from karma and going away from it. How did all this happen? It's all in our hearts. That is, what kind of mentality we have, what kind of life state we will have. Everything, positive and negative, true and false, good and bad, is in one thought. If we can always keep our inner joy, purity and compassion, we will naturally not be affected by the external environment. This is the best "heart fragrance" for the Buddha, and it is bound to contact the Buddha and Bodhisattva and get the blessing of the Buddha.
