What enlightenment can we get from the above analysis? Now you should know how to prescribe the right medicine and take effective measures to stop prostitution, right? To sum up, there are three inspirations:
First, practice the law of repentance and destroy prostitution.
Obviously, the root of prostitution lies in antecedents, that is, the seeds of prostitution in our Arya knowledge; Therefore, to cure prostitution, the radical solution lies in destroying our karma and cleaning up our karma. "Heart Sutra" said: "Repeated crimes will increase the crime, and repentance will eliminate the crime."
"karma is bad" said: "if you have committed a felony, you have deeply blamed yourself. Only by repenting can you pull out the fundamental crime." Therefore, it is necessary to completely eliminate the seeds of bad karma and restore the truth through diligent repentance. There are many ways to repent, such as confessions of ten thousand buddhas in famous families, confessions of eighty-eight buddhas, confessions of thirty-five buddhas, confessions of Liang Huangbao, confessions in Tibetan, confessions of great compassion and so on. We can choose some methods of confession according to our own preferences, and refine our confession according to four forces (relying on, destroying evil and restoring).
In addition, once we are aware of the current lust, we should immediately recite the mantra and repent as many times as we have lust. I believe that through the fierce firepower of confession, the arrogance of lust can be temporarily suppressed, and finally all kinds of prostitution activities can be quiet. I hereby confess all the evil thoughts, words and deeds I have committed, as well as all the felony I have committed; If there are any mistakes in this article, I will repent. If there is merit, everyone will return to it. I am willing to break evil and cultivate good, accumulate yin and virtue, cultivate bodhicitta, cultivate bodhisattva, observe precepts and recite Buddha, and live in pure land!
Second, clean the touch of six roots and reduce the outer edge of prostitution.
Cause and effect cannot be ignored. The relationship of debauchery (or inducing accident) comes from the mirror where our eyes, liu er, nose, tongue, voice and mind touch. The Ten Commandments says: "Holding the heart and body will not give birth to lust, holding the eyes without looking at lewdness, holding the ears without listening to lewdness, holding the nose without smelling lewdness, and holding the tongue without touching the lewd tongue. This is called having enough wisdom to follow the eight right paths. Don't yin net body and mind, like a lotus, no dirt ... "
Therefore, in order not to give the present opportunity for adultery, we should abide by certain commandments and purify our six roots. The "abstinence" here means not only abstinence from masturbation and exposure to pornographic movies. It also includes many living habits and details, such as trying not to go to discos, bars, saunas, ktv and other messy places (places where lechers, sluts and ghosts are active), watching vulgar soap operas, listening to erotic songs, not swearing, not making bad friends, not drinking, not browsing boring news and so on. In short, anything that can arouse your lust must arouse your high vigilance! We must make a careful choice about this!
Third, the accumulation of wealth and the growth of abstinence.
In addition to reducing the external causes of prostitution, we should constantly accumulate various advantages and disadvantages of abstinence from prostitution. In the Book of Penaeus, it is said, "If you are diligent in doing good, you can't afford evil; if you don't be diligent in blessing, you will have evil in your heart", which means that doing good and creating evil are like fire and water. On the one hand, it is strong, on the other hand, it is weak. If you don't practice good frequently, then evil will continue to grow. For example, in a barren land, the best way to achieve no weeds is to grow food on it. Therefore, if you want to get rid of lewdness, you must constantly cultivate goodness.
As for how to cultivate goodness, there is a eulogy in Miscellaneous Analects: "Cultivating wisdom without cultivating music, Lohan holds an empty bowl;" Happiness can be cultivated without wisdom. Elephants wear garlands. "This carol tells us that only financial and intellectual cultivation is a more complete practice.
In terms of cultivating happiness, the most basic thing is to do all kinds of good deeds, accumulate virtue and preserve character. Others, such as releasing animals, helping the poor, supporting the three treasures, honoring parents, helping the poor and so on. In terms of cultivating wisdom, as far as abstinence wisdom is concerned, we can learn through several channels, including: learning from the predecessors who quit prostitution, learning from traditional good books, learning from Buddhist scriptures, learning from good knowledge including eminent monks, great virtues and mentors, and so on.
