How do buddhas, bodhisattvas and dharma protectors protect practitioners?
Buddhists and bodhisattvas can cross people into three types: smooth crossing, reverse crossing and smooth crossing without crossing. For true practitioners, what is needed is merit rather than blessing. For the wealth of practitioners, we pay attention to the middle way. In other words, if you are a true yogi, Buddha, Bodhisattva and Dharma Protector will certainly protect your food, clothing, housing and transportation. So that you can support your family, have no worries about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and will not let you starve and freeze; And to ensure the safety of your life, can let you practice with peace of mind, that's for sure. This is smoothness. Blessed and sincere practitioners, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, will never allow you to squander and will soon run out of blessings. So at this time, it will give you hardships: it will make your career go wrong, it will often cut off your money, it will give you trouble, it will make you feel alienated, don't cling to secular enjoyment and blessing, and it will try to get you out of the bondage of the secular and let you practice spiritually. This is the inverse degree. If you are already rich, but you still want to ask the Buddha to bless you and continue to make a fortune. You will find that the more you ask, the more money you break. And some people will lose confidence in Buddha and Bodhisattva at this time, thinking that I am so pious, but Buddha and Bodhisattva and the protector will not bless me. In fact, this is also the Buddha, bodhisattva and dharma protector crossing you. If you encounter the above situation, you should be congratulated, because you are a true yogi. But I also want to remind you to make a choice: do you want merit or reward? Whether to cherish happiness or enjoy it. And a disciple who lived a good life, even extravagance and waste, began to corrupt. If you don't really practice, burn incense and worship Buddha, and give alms for greater blessings, but because of your extravagance and waste, your blessings will soon be exhausted, and the Buddha and Bodhisattva will not bless you. This is smooth, but not excessive. Some people want to get rich when they get rich. If they have more money, they are afraid of being stolen and robbed, and their children and grandchildren will not be able to keep their homes. In this way, I have been worried about money all my life, and I have been a slave to money all my life. A man of practice should be content with being plain, and it is enough to have food and shelter. This is not only conducive to their physical and mental health, but also conducive to the healthy growth of future generations. "Money can't buy a poor teenager", cultivate their sound personality for future generations, and cultivate their virtues of thrift, hard work and cherish happiness from an early age. Do you want to practice or get rich? If you really practice, you should let go of the idea of getting rich, stop being tired of money, let go of your obsession with these things and do what you should and like to do. It also reveals a secret of the spiritual world: the debt of unjust relatives is mainly to retaliate against a person. If this person is blessed, they can't get close. So they often try their best to make this person rich, enjoy happiness and corrupt him, and this person will soon enjoy all the blessings. In addition, if he wants to do evil, unjust creditors will soon find him to retaliate and even drag him to hell. People who have no blessings will not be happy even if they have a lot of wealth. All kinds of setbacks in life, such as work, exams, popularity, health, and fighting with relatives and friends, are also caused by insufficient blessings. People who don't have enough blessings are like a pot of soup. If you pour a bowl of sewage, the whole pot of soup will go bad. Therefore, a person who is not blessed enough can't hold back a little thing. As long as he encounters a little difficulty, he will have many consequences, such as sadness, irritability, sadness, despair, resentment, fighting and even suicide. People with good luck are like the sea. Even if sewage from a river flows into the sea, the sea will not become dirty. Instead, you can turn it around and make yourself stronger. A man of practice should know how to cherish the blessings. Some tycoons in ancient and modern China cherish their wealth very much. For example, Mr. Wang Yongqing, the founder of Formosa Plastics Group, is known as the "God of Management" in Taiwan Province Province. Every day is porridge and side dishes, and life is simpler than ordinary people. Wang Yongqing's favorite daughter, Wang Xueling, got married, and besides a certificate of offering tuition indefinitely, he gave her a razor as her dowry. On the one hand, he wants his daughter to study hard, and on the other hand, he wants his son-in-law to shave himself. Weddings in Wang Xueling are simpler than ordinary people's. Even the flowers in her hand are the cheapest ones she bought after repeated comparisons. But Mr. Wang has never been stingy with social welfare. He once donated $250 million to a hospital at one time. He was the first to donate 100 million Taiwan dollars in the Wenchuan earthquake. People who practice should be charitable. There is a Hong Kong man who never makes money in business. He always loses money, and he can't get the money back. He pleaded with Yang Hong and said, "I heard that you made a fortune in America. How did you get rich? " ? Yang Hong said, "Do you really want to know? Want to change? " My friend said, "I really want to know and change." Yang Hong said, "Well, then you will listen to me. You will give 300,000 yuan to Huizhou, Guangdong Province every year to help the people there (Yang Hong was an educated youth in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, and later made a fortune, and he will give 300,000 yuan every year to help the people there). I can take my 300 thousand to help others elsewhere. You have done this for three years in a row. You may not feel it at first, but you must stick to it for three years. Can you do it? The friend said, "Well, I'll do as you say. "... the result was the same in the first year, and there was no change in the second year. In the third year, all undertakings turned losses into profits, and the money he wanted came back, and the money he earned was earned. He is very happy. At this time, he finally tasted the sweetness of paying and began to help all beings. A disciple told me that he advised a friend to sit together, and the friend said, "I can't sit down and rest." "Because it is strange, I have been busy with this family from morning till night all my life, and I have never been sick; Just stop and rest for a day or two, and the disease will come up. " Oh! It turns out that he has come to pay his debts all his life. He owed too much to others in his last life. In this life, he has to keep working and paying debts, and he has no time to sit down and rest. It's called no happiness. It's that simple. Therefore, practitioners must continue to bless and cultivate goodness, and Buddha and Bodhisattva will protect you.
