Modern society is characterized by fast pace, large amount of information, tight time and many things. Everyone shuttles through the reinforced concrete jungle day after day. If people are fierce, money will go away. They are sailing in the waves of the world of material alienation. Trouble is naturally frequent and endless. Although modern people think of many ways, such as traveling, vacation, leisure, going to parks and nature reserves, they just want to relieve their anger for a while, breathe fresh for a while, and treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. How to keep quiet in a difficult situation and really be "calm and cool naturally" in mania? In other words, how can modern people practice bodhisattva while eating fireworks? My own experience is: meditation is the basis of practice; Only when you listen to the audience and look at yourself can you since the enlightenment him; Stop your mind by precepts, stop greed, ignorance, doubt and slowness by precepts, that is, prevent the slow progress, and the evil at ordinary times is nothing more than the thought of debauchery and wealth; Daily practice, chanting Buddha and mantra, and abstinence from wisdom are indispensable. Abstinence is the premise, certainty is the means, and wisdom is the purpose. First, the meditation "Six Ancestors Tanjing" has a cloud: "Why bother to keep precepts when you are calm, and why bother to practice meditation when you are straight." I am deeply touched. People live in a materialistic world, and their hearts are really like an ancient poem, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop." "Peace of mind is a commandment. Because peace of mind is natural, you can see your mind clearly and your words and deeds can be harmonious and natural. Talk less and be quiet. Speak right and wrong, and your tongue forgives injustice. It is true that talking is also one of the industries. I have heard a story that a naval officer joked with his subordinates: "The most important thing in life is to control the two' Ba'-the mouth and the penis. "After hearing this true story, I immediately burst into laughter and laughed at its vulgarity and humor. But after laughing, I have to admit that many truths are not from celebrities, and the truth that ordinary people say is the simplest and most sincere. Running these two bars well can not only cultivate one's morality, but also cultivate one's morality. Be alone. Some people can't stand loneliness. Go to work and run business during the day, but don't want to rest alone at night. Go to bars, karaoke, sauna and massage. Also known as: relax and rest. As everyone knows, this is called adding fuel to the fire. Although we can't "an old man fishing in the cold river-snow" or "picking chrysanthemums under the hedge" like the ancients and "building a house in a human environment without horses and chariots", we can completely "hide in a small building" like Mr. Lu Xun to form a unity, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. "Less desire, be quiet. Desire is persistence. Less desire is to break it. All troubles are caused by persistence. There is a lot of persistence in my heart (euphemistically called pursuit), and natural karma continues. Why not "do nothing"? How can you live without a home? "This kind of person can't have the realm of" things don't belong to things "and" accumulated virtue, the future of Mo Wen ". Second, the audience returned to listen, just visible to observe people all day long, lost their five senses to the voice, lost their hands and feet to money and things, and rarely had time to "reverse the taste of self-nature" and ask themselves, such as Mencius "I save myself three times a day." To be enlightened, several conditions must be met: first, be tolerant of yourself and others; Second, it is better to laugh at yourself than to laugh at yourself. Broad-minded, compassionate and relieved with a smile. If a person learns to laugh at his own ridiculousness, he will find his own shortcomings in practice and be alert. Enlightenment can be learned. Try to write it down when you learn enlightenment. I named this diary "Three Secrets". Laughter and enlightenment are inseparable. Throughout the temple, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Maitreya Bodhisattva all smiled. After realizing today's enlightenment, all Buddhas smiled solemnly, with the highest level of smile on their faces-compassion. When modern people are nervous, they lose their smiles and their knowledge of nature, and they live in a muddle all day. Third, stop people from being greedy and forgetting to return, angry and complaining, stupid and persistent, suspicious and old four, slow and dissatisfied. Alcohol is harmful to the body, disorderly color, financial addiction, and mental confusion. Keeping the precepts is to balance these secular desires. Many people in the society mistakenly think that "abstinence" is only a Buddhist matter, which is almost cruel and derogatory. In fact, in the western society, more and more people of insight have accepted the oriental outlook on health preservation and the cultural outlook of China Zen. Wu Yunqing, an old man with a long life in Shaanxi, said: "There are four walls of wealth, and the whole world is hidden in them; Someone can jump over a wall, not a fairy, but a long life. "Fourth, practice meditation. It is inconceivable for a person who claims to believe in Buddhism and swear to practice. If he doesn't meditate, he can meditate in Buddhism or practice Qigong originated from Buddhism. The key is to be calm. After nearly 20 years of exploration, I finally chose a method suitable for young people-simple and easy, naturally difficult to compile: natural work. I feel that this work has really played the role of self-interest and altruism and "cultivating my noble spirit". Before, during and after work, I said a mantra in my mind: "Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum, hum. Read "I don't do good, I don't create evil, I don't know anything, I have no heart"; Read "Why bother to keep the precepts calmly, why bother to practice meditation when you are straight, …", and read "… It's right not to think about it, it's evil to think about it, and drive a white ox cart with or without it". The chanting number can be read anytime and anywhere. As long as you are sincere, you will "reap what you sow". "Many people say that modern life is busy and there is no time to practice. In fact, practice, like business, lies in the word "constancy". The two go hand in hand, complement each other and complement each other. People who believe in Buddhism will naturally get good results. In the practice of modern people, it is necessary to meet the needle and reflect Buddhism and Taoism in human nature. Just as my master, the former abbot of Nanputuo, Xiamen, wrote in my inscription: "The success of humanity, the success of Buddhism and Taoism". Once you have a real Buddhist concept, you can give, observe precepts, endure humiliation, improve, correct and learn wisdom in real life. Practice in life according to the method of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and live in practice.
