How to face karma (bad karma)
Speaking of Zen Buddhism, you have to know that Zen Buddhism is a cultivation of strong roots, which is more difficult for people in the Dharma Ending Period. Moreover, sins can be eliminated by not only repenting, so you have to rely on the blessings of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
Moreover, the method you mentioned, "Can I use the method of Prajna Illusion to observe the void?" This method is a relatively advanced method. Being able to achieve this level is already an extraordinary state. For ordinary people, it is just words. Just talking about it.
Vajrasattva Bodhisattva once vowed to clear away the karma of all living beings. You can read Vajrasattva’s lectures on the rituals of practicing the wish-fulfilling jewel.
When the karma appears, there is only crying and screaming. At this time, it is irreversible, just like a house collapsed and cannot be propped up. There are ways to treat it before it arrives, so we should practice the Vajrasattva method in advance.
Why should we recite and practice Vajrasattva?
We know that all worldly things are caused by causes and conditions. The appearances of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and the facilities of Dharma doors all conform to different aspects of causes and conditions. Just like different medicines have different effects, and different occupations have different manifestations. When you are sick, you should seek help from a doctor, when building a building, you should seek out an architect, and when seeking education, you should seek out a teacher. Similarly, if you want to seek wisdom, practice Manjusri, and if you want to eliminate disasters and avoid disasters, practice Guanyin. If you want to have a destination and practice the Dharma of rebirth, if you want to eliminate any violation of fate and practice the Dharma of Guru Rinpoche, and if you want to eliminate karmic obstacles, you must practice the Vajrasattva Repentance Dharma.
The power to purify karma in the universe is concentrated and manifested as Vajrasattva. Everything involving Vajrasattva, whether it is the body shape or the mantra, is the nature of purifying karma. This is also Vajrasattva Buddha made a great wish due to the earth, and when the great wish is fulfilled, his ability will appear according to luck. (The power of Vajrasattva’s vows is incredible, the power of the mantra is incredible, the power of sexual cultivation is incredible, and the power of our hearts is incredible.)
The merits of repentance:
"Golden Light Sutra" ” said: “Whoever commits serious sins during a thousand kalpas, and repent with all his strength once, will have all his sins purified.” Purity.) "The Vinaya Sutra" says: "Whoever commits sinful karma can be covered by good karma, just like the sun and moon leaving the clouds, shining in this world." (Whoever has committed sinful karma can be countered by good karma, just like The sun and the moon are far away from the dark clouds and are shining on the world again)
1. Karma is not real and can be changed with the heart.
2. The heart mantra is like a wish-fulfilling treasure, which can satisfy our needs according to our wishes, can eliminate all sins and obstacles that violate the Three Vehicle Precepts, can make heavy karma become lighter, light karma will not be repaid, and can eliminate the present world. In order to avoid disasters and retribution in the next life, wisdom can be developed to make continuity pure, and one can be reborn in a pure land.
Such a heavy karma can only be eliminated with incredible convenience. When the poison is very deep, strong medicine must be used, and other powers are not enough. When our karma is very heavy, sometimes it is difficult to eliminate it using other methods. However, with the help of the power of deities and mantras in Buddhism, difficult things can be done, and very heavy karma can also be eliminated. Among the various methods of purifying sins, which one is the most appropriate, direct, and effective for ordinary beings with heavy karma? If we had to choose, it would be the Vajrasattva method. What dharma is predestined for all sentient beings in Han China? The Vajrasattva Dharma is predestined. Padmasambhava made it very clear in his terma rituals that this Dharma has a predestined relationship with the Han region. Master Ruyi Bao also selected this Dharma through his wisdom observation.
