First of all, let's look at its most critical argument: Zhai Yongling said, "I heard that there was an old monk who traveled around the world with a good way. The Buddhist scriptures say that believers who offend the Buddha will suffer if they are alive, and they will not be allowed to enter the Elysium when they are dead! "
1. As long as anyone who studies Buddhism knows a little, Buddha is the awakened one. He perfected wisdom and compassion. What is compassion? Kindness can be fun, sadness can be bitter, and compassion is the same. It's not that people in the world read kindness separately. How can a mother be so kind to her children? I will treat you well. If you offend me, I will make you suffer. Isn't it? It is out of the question. The Buddha's compassion for all sentient beings is unconditional and unbiased. You are good to him, he is good to you, and he will be good to you if you are not good to him. This is largely from the teachings of Buddhism, and Buddhists are trying to do the same, so we can only say that the writer is making it up.
Then let's see if the Buddha is alone. Huineng, the sixth ancestor (who was enshrined in Nanhua Temple in Guangdong for thousands of years and is the immortal body of King Kong relic), once said to Buddha, Dharma and Monk that Buddha corresponds to the ultimate consciousness of every living being, Dharma is the positive energy in self-nature, and Monk is the pure pollution in self-nature. What do you mean? That is, chanting Buddha is actually thinking about ourselves (the most conscious self, the purest self, the righteous but not evil self, not the seemingly reincarnation self, the troubled self and the greedy self), just like we are nervous when doing a great event, we will silently encourage ourselves and show our inner courage. As the most positive energy language in the universe, Amitabha often reads us more than just eliminating fear. Each of us has buddhas and demons in our hearts. If the Buddha nature does not appear, the devil nature will prevail. How to choose everyone should have their own choice.
3. From the perspective of practice, chanting Buddha is actually a meditation method, which allows you to enter a meditation state corresponding to the dharma world and suppress disorder. Therefore, the founder Dade once said that "it is useless to think about Amitabha's heart, and it is useless to cry out." Of course, although the effect of chanting Buddha is not good, it is not useless, and it is also futile from the method of inferiority negation (it is not as poor as myself, we will say that I have no money, but. Therefore, from the perspective of practice, chanting Buddha is not to let Buddha know us, but to let our own hearts know Buddha, to be focused and powerful, and to correspond to Buddha's wishes. "Thousands of rivers are printed in January, and thousands of rivers have water, and thousands of rivers have moons." Don't worry that Buddha can't handle it. You miss him, he is there, and you don't miss him, neither more nor less. More is your blessing, less is your greed and ignorance.
4. Dharma can only be known through evidence. If one knows whether the water is warm or cold, the author will know whether it is good, not only in the future, but also now. Therefore, how beautiful and reasonable the theory is, it is meaningless, only practice. In order to make you understand the above discussion, some metaphors are not particularly appropriate, but the general meaning should be clear.
5. Finally, quote a story to end. I hope you can continue to recite Buddha.
Many years ago, there was a scholar in China. One day, he told people in a conference hall that the Buddha could not exist. When the audience felt that he was right, he loudly challenged the Buddha and said, "Buddha, if you really have spirit, please come down and kill me in front of the masses, and we will believe your existence!" " "He deliberately waited quietly for a few minutes. Of course, the Buddha didn't come down to kill him. He glanced around and said to the audience, "As you can see, the Buddha doesn't exist! " ?
I don't know a woman with a towel wrapped in her head stood up and said to him, "Sir, your theory is very clever. You are a well-read person. I'm just a rural woman, and I can't refute you. I just want you to answer a question in my heart: I believe in Buddhism for many years, and I am very happy to have Buddhist teaching in my heart; My heart is full of comfort from the Buddha; Because of believing in Buddhism, life has the greatest happiness. I want to ask: if I die and find that everything taught by the Buddha doesn't exist at all, what will I lose if I believe in Buddhism all my life? " ?
The scholar thought for a long time, and the audience was silent. The audience also agreed with the rural woman's reasoning. Even scholars are surprised by simple logic. He replied in a low voice, "madam, I don't think you have anything to lose."
The rural woman said to the scholar again, "Thank you for such a good answer. There is still a question in my heart: when you die, if you find that the teachings of the Buddha are true, there are also six divisions in the wheel of karma, which exist outside the six Buddha lands. I want to ask, what have you lost? " The scholar thought for a long time and was speechless.
Note: This article is really well written. If the Buddha doesn't exist, what have you lost? But if there is a Buddha, what will you lose? It is worth pondering!
For each of us, whether we believe in Buddhism or not, we all know that Buddha is kind, compassionate and protective. The purpose of Buddha is to educate people to be kind, sincere and tolerant, and people pray for the blessing of Buddha in times of crisis. ?
People who truly believe in Buddhism are kind. Their hearts are full of Buddhist teachings and will. Their hearts are full of happiness and gratitude. They believe that good and evil are rewarded. They abandon evil and advocate kindness, friendship and sincerity. Not good?
It is precisely because people don't believe in the existence of Buddha and the retribution of good and evil that people dare to do whatever they want for their own interests, without moral constraints and conscience norms.
Shakespeare said, don't slander the truth you don't know, or your life will be in danger.
Yes, when you die, if you find that there is really a Buddha, Buddhism is true, there is reincarnation and hell, then-what have you lost, precious and kind people? !
Human nature is the coexistence of good and evil. Believing in Buddhism can stop evil and promote good, and people can be truly happy. On the contrary, if people don't believe in Buddhism, people's good thoughts will be destroyed, and people will do whatever they want like animals. Look around us, in a world without correct beliefs, people can't tell what is true good and evil. Sincerity, kindness and forbearance, the most beautiful spiritual beliefs of human beings, have been left behind, and money worship has replaced people's good thoughts. A lost person cannot find the true meaning of life.
Kindhearted people, please strengthen the good thoughts in your hearts, confused people, please dust off your hearts and find your lost nature again. Open your eyes, you will find that everything that many prophets have said in history has already appeared, and you, as an audience and an actor, have your own choice of good and evil, and the ending is doomed at the moment you choose! !
