Why is Buddhism misunderstood so deeply in our land of China? What caused it?
1, the first big environment, now western science is prosperous, and their logic is very good, convincing, well-founded and convincing;
2. There is something wrong with the quality of Buddhists. It's not that there is no virtue, and there is too little virtue. Nowadays, most monks are ignorant, don't ask much information, and don't cultivate their compassion (now many Buddhists make great wishes in front of Buddha and Bodhisattva, but when they turn around, they don't even do anything with kindness, and many of them are empty slogans), so how can Buddhism flourish? One of the titles of Buddha is: man is a teacher; Now it is difficult for most monks to be teachers of middle school students, let alone heavenly teachers!
3, in fact, convert to this thing, if you are sincere, pray sincerely in front of the Buddha and Bodhisattva statue, and let the Buddha and Bodhisattva convert for you three times! In fact, Buddha and Bodhisattva really gave you three conversions! It's just that we ordinary people are restless and unaware. If we are calm and think of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva will come to your side and comfort you in every way, and the feeling will be strong. This is the oath of Buddha and Bodhisattva! Don't pay too much attention to external forms!
As for being ordained, it doesn't mean that everything will be fine if you are ordained in a temple. Self-discipline is a long-term protracted war and a process of fighting with yourself. It lies in every thought at ordinary times, not in the moment of being ordained (but if there is a great virtue to preach the precepts, don't miss it, it is a special cause);
Thank you for your kind reminder, but the transformation I said is absolutely true. Don't measure buddhas and bodhisattvas with the eyes of ordinary people!
The following is the enlightenment of Master Yin Guang to Zhensan's conversion:
Recently, I went to a vegetarian restaurant in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, which was jointly opened by nearly 100 lay people. These laymen often practice the Pure Land Method, and all of them are based on the method taught by an overseas mage. However, such people are called Sambo laymen, but they have no sense of Sambo laymen. At best, he's just a two-treasure layman. Why, so these lay people never pay attention to monks when they see them in their vegetarian restaurant, as if they have never seen them before. Not to mention asking questions and kowtowing. Such evil deeds can be seen that it does not turn to the three treasures. If you really turn to the Sambo Method, can you see that monks are impolite?
However, such disrespect for monks is by no means an accident of one or two lay people. Nowadays, laymen have many such bad habits. There is a teacher who teaches three returns to a layman, but a layman never bows to the teacher who teaches three returns from beginning to end. This also shows that it is light and slow. Even more shameless laymen, when walking with the teacher who has taught for three times, rushed straight to the teacher and strode away. Three times before the teacher won the prize, it was the same, and the situation was even worse. Such a shameless layman is so contemptuous not only in front of the teacher who teaches Sanzang, but also in front of the mage who teaches Buddhism. I have seen many lay people keep saying that I rely on a certain mage, and he has always been very kind to me. Without this mage, I can definitely step into the right path in Buddhism. However, despite his words, he will never bow his head. It also shows that he didn't really study Buddhism for life and death.
People may wonder why teachers are greedy and respectful. I think the unwise good people are respectful, and they have actually gained the real benefits of Buddhism. As Master Yin Guang said, "In today's world, many people talk about mystery and beauty. If you show it here, it will be rare. Before you Jun came to the case, his language was quite humble. The light cover, as well as the thank-you note, is handy. However, it is still social knowledge, and it is still impossible to seek its benefits in Buddhism. Why do you see it? People on the road today don't know the future. To ask someone, bow and clap your hands. And you jun's two letters, under the signature, are only folded. It is based on the law of life and death and so on. And the letters are not bent, and they are willing to bow to the monk. Under the seat, the heart is light, and you also have a heart. Don't blame it for being slow, you will benefit from it. " (Fu Hongshi Yi Yi Shu, Master Zeng Yinwen Chao) It can be seen that those who study Buddhism today will always be believers. If you refuse to bow your head in front of a mage who abides by the suspension law, you will never feel at ease, never seek profit in Buddhism, but only increase your knowledge.
