Master Xuanhua taught: Charming people believe in Feng Shui, and wise people believe in Water.

This truth can actually be explained a little more clearly, that is, the heart and destiny are one, and the heart is destiny.

I have read a poem in the past, which seems to be a discussion about a good heart and a bad life, and a bad heart and a good life. This statement is mainly for a short-lived heart. What I am talking about is this. Heart does not mean a short-term heart, but a long-term continuous heart. For example, yesterday it was Bodhicitta and today it is troubled heart. This long-term continuous heart can create your destiny, because the heart is the teacher of your behavior, so Repentance is so important. We can't see or touch the heart. In fact, we can feel it a little bit. Most people can feel it a little bit. But that point is useless and has no effect on spiritual cultivation. Only those who want to live and die will study these things thoroughly and truly repent to the root. in.

When we do some good deeds, it’s just on the outside. In fact, our hearts are responsible for what happens to us, and the merits of our hearts are great. For example, let’s say we all give away a dollar. I gave it to this person when I saw him pitifully. You are the one who gave it to me. Given purely for the sake of retribution, can the two be the same? Is it different? Because the tasks completed by the heart are different, indeed, the results are also different. Although they are all donations, they are appearances. The real merits occur in the continuum of the heart. Everyone can do it on the outside, but how can one make it happen? We don’t know much about our hearts.

To put it simply, if you want to have great merit, you should ask your sincerity. The "Ksitigarbha Sutra" says, "Those who pretend to be ascetics, but whose heart is not ascetics, will fall into the endless hell for thousands of billions of kalpas, and there will be no time to escape." Do others know that he is "pretending to be a Samana"? It is not easy for others to see if he pretends to be like this, but the retribution will be in hell. Because his intentions are wrong, his behavior will not be particularly good.

Recite Buddha’s name carefully, there is no Amitabha Buddha. This is important.
