We don't seem to have violated it now, but if we actually look at it at a deeper level, it's very difficult to do that, because the scriptures tell us that we have to make offerings to the Three Jewels of Enlightenment in everything we do. But what do we ask for in everything we do? Ask for the powerful people in the world! So the day before yesterday, when we recited "Don't seek the Great Buddha and stop suffering," our problem is here.

However, it should be said that those in the world do not ignore it entirely, but can be used as a companion. But we're putting the cart before the horse! I still want to do it in the world, but I have to do it according to the law and reason. Fundamentally, praying for the Three Jewels has very special benefits. If we can do that, then we don't complain about the heavens and others, and we don't ask too much, so we have to pray for the Three Jewels first, and then follow the world.

On the other hand, if others harm us, we should also do the same thing, because this is karma, and we can only pray. I also know that this is not easy to do, and in my own opinion, it is not good to be a monk, let alone you? But if we don't work hard, we will always have to talk about it, and it will be reduced to empty talk. Be filial to your parents Knowledge of Buddhism Weibo sharing Weibo sharing Shut down
