This story really responds to the common saying of the people that fate comes from thousands of miles to meet each other, and a couplet says that although it rains widely, it is difficult to cultivate roots and grasses, and Buddhism is very different, people all say that fate is important.
The essence of fate or imagination always brings us a profound feeling of mystery, but also brings some confusion and melancholy to the gathering and scattering of floating clouds in life
However, it is very certain that several people, namely Manjusri Bodhisattva, can’t get to know each other before their eyes. That is because the blind see the moon and the moon all the time, but the blind can’t see it.
It’s a pity that many people in the world can’t cherish fate, success, strength and success.
Three kinds of Buddha can’t
I recorded a story of Master Yuan Jue in the Jingde Lantern Record.
When Zen master Yuan Jue was practicing in Pangwu, Zhongyue, he lived in a simple thatched cottage. One day, a man wearing a beautiful hat and gorgeous clothes came to visit him. Many of his followers came to the front of the thatched cottage and called Yuan Jue the master. Seeing his amazing appearance, Yuan Jue asked him that Ren Gui had come to the old monk’s humble room.
Master, do you know me? The man said.
Yuan Jue said that in my eyes, there is no difference between Buddha and sentient beings, and I treat you equally. What difference does it make who you are?
How can you treat me like someone else when you say that I am the god of this mountain, but I can also make people do heavy work when I die?
Yuan-jue said, "How can I die if I come to give birth to you?" I think my body is virtually the same. Look at me, you are the same. You can only destroy me if you can destroy your virtual self. Can you destroy your virtual self? I have already reached the realm of immortality, and you still have to live and die.
Hearing this, Yue Shen knew that Master Yuan Xuan was a Taoist master and immediately made a bow to his teacher in the first week, and was given the five precepts of killing his brother who stole prostitution and drunk.
After three conversions and five precepts, Yue Shen asked Zen Master Yuan Jue how I compare with Avatar Buddha.
Yuan Jue said that if Shinto is said to be ten abilities, you can be five abilities and you can’t be five, and Buddha can be seven abilities and three can’t be.
Yue Shen has always believed that the magic power is vast, and he heard the Zen master say that he was horrified and knelt down to say that Master had shown him.
Yuan Jue said, I ask you, can you run to the east and have seven suns in the west at the same time?
Can’t yue Shen said
So can you seize the earth god? Can you connect the five mountains together? Can you make the four seas and waters merge together?
Can’t yue Shen said
These are your five kinds of impossibilities. Master Yuan Xuan went on to say, I’ll tell you three kinds of impossibilities now.
Buddhism can complement each other in all things, but it can’t destroy the fixed course. Buddhism can know the countless disasters of the group, but it can’t change the fate. Buddhism can measure the feelings and can’t do all the things in the world.
These are the three things that Buddha can’t do, but his career is not unbreakable for a long time, and he doesn’t always understand Buddha according to my own understanding. He doesn’t have any magical power and mind to understand all the laws
This story says that the basic spirit of Buddhism is that Buddha is not omnipotent, but he can’t eliminate everyone’s wisdom and ability. He knows that all sentient beings are Buddhist, but they can’t influence and teach those who have no fate. He can love all sentient beings in a limited number, but he can’t spend all of them because of many reasons.
Two of the three kinds of Buddha can’t be seen as fate. Fate is the most difficult thing in the world. When the Buddha was talking about the wonderful method of Lotus Sutra in Lingjiu Mountain, 5,000 people got up and walked away. The Buddha seemed to be very angry, but he didn’t say angrily that their chances were not yet mature.
This is really a thorough understanding of the fate of life. We are abandoned in this lover, neglected and tortured by all kinds of emotions by where will you go. We can enter the fate and calmly say in the world that we are not yet mature. At this time, we have surpassed the shackles and seen that life is a combination of fate.
Cause has been buried for thousands of years
In Buddhist scriptures, all dharmas are generated by karma, called karma, and all things are called karma, but all karma is not eternal and disappears in an instant, called karma.
We often say that what is the difference between karma and karma? We can simply say that all things in Senluo are caused by karma, which is called karma synthesis. In the classic, it is because it can be born, and it helps to be born. For the generation, it is because it is close and strong, but it is sparse and weak. For example, it is caused by environmental factors such as rain, dew and farmers. This karma synthesis is born in rice.
Knowing this layer, we know that because it is absolute but not inevitable, for example, we planted one, and because it has no fate to meet, it will stop forever in the future and it will not show itself. We said earlier that the Buddha can’t destroy the karma, but it can stop. If you change the karma, you will never be able to end it.
For example, when I traveled to Egypt one year, I saw many foods dug from Pharaoh’s tomb, such as wheat, rice and corn, which were buried with Pharaoh. Because of the idea of reincarnation in ancient Egypt, people were reincarnated after death, and another world was reincarnated with soul, body, gold and food, so there were many mummies and rich burials.
I pay special attention to the oldest of all kinds, which has been buried in the ground for thousands of years and was not excavated until the century.
The tour guide of Luo Museum told us that those species that have been buried for thousands of years have all done experiments and found that most of them can germinate and bear flowers, and many long-lost grains have been reborn into this world because of these discoveries.
At that time, I heard here that those brocade boxes were filled with black and gray grain seeds, and there was a kind of beauty in my heart that moved people to be reincarnated. Although it was proved by law, weren’t those seeds reincarnated?
Explaining karma by planting seeds can show that a seed has been buried in the ground for thousands of years and has not been excavated. In that long thousand years, it has been discovered, experimented, planted and expected to meet as expected. It is finally proved that it can still bear fruit. This is completion.
From here, we think that our inspiration in this life is not born after being buried for thousands of years.
There are bright moving bells everywhere.
The Buddha used to drill wood for fire, and he said that all the methods are like wiping the fire between two pieces of wood and burning the wood, and then the fire will be extinguished.
The karma is that the two pieces of wood taste the fire, but after they hit each other, the fire broke out. Where did the fire come from and where did it go? After the fire came, the wood was burned, and the fire went out again.
