Sright knowledge, right mindfulness
As a practitioner, there are a few things that you should not forget every day, which are the "right knowledge and right mindfulness" that Buddhism talks about.
The first thing is to know that "human body is rare", that is, it is not easy for us to obtain this human body. Buddhist scriptures say that in the six paths of reincarnation, those who gain life are like the dirt on the claws, and those who lose it are like the earth.
The second thing is to know that "Buddhism smells bad". We can encounter precious Buddhism. This precious Buddhism can help us get out of the poverty of life, get out of the troubles and pain of life. , very precious and not easy.
The Buddha said in the "Lotus Sutra, Chapter 11 of the Pagoda" written by Enlightenment: "After I have passed away, it will be difficult to listen to and receive this sutra and ask about its meaning; after I have passed away, If you can uphold such a classic, it will be difficult."
The third thing is to know that "good teachers are hard to find." When we study Buddhism, we need to practice, have teachers, and have fellow practitioners. There are people protecting the Dharma, and these karma are very rare.
Sakyamuni Buddha said in the "Lotus Sutra: Chapter 11 of the Pagoda" that became a Buddha: "I am the Buddha, and in countless lands, from the beginning to the present, I have widely preached the sutras, and in Among them, this sutra is the first. If anyone can uphold it, he will hold on to the body of the Buddha. "" Those who can read and hold on to this sutra in the next life are true Buddhas who can understand its meaning after the Buddha has passed away. , the eyes of the world. If you are afraid of the world, you can say in a moment that all gods and humans should be supported."
The fourth is to know that "time flies quickly and human life is impermanent." Life and death are in the breath, you must know how precious life is.
No matter what method we practice, we should never forget these clear understandings and right thoughts. In this way, by maintaining clear understanding and right thoughts, we can easily correspond to the Tao.
