Lingshan layman: Why do we learn Buddhism?
Of course I can't tell them. It's none of your business. Some people may think that such questions invade their privacy. But in my opinion, this is not an offense, but a good opportunity for the other side to enhance their understanding of Buddhism. So I will tell him that the Buddha did not stipulate that only people with gray hair are qualified to learn Buddhism. Many people my age also practice Siddhartha's teaching and benefit a lot from it.

A classic question I often encounter is,

Whether learning Buddhism can bring you vested interests that you can see soon. Nowadays, few people are willing to take the time to do something that can't see obvious benefits in a short time.

My answer is of course. By learning Buddhism

You will gradually become very happy. When you become very happy, everything will go smoothly. Have you ever found that when you are full of complaints about the world, the world will not show weakness, it will give you more misfortune, your unhappiness will not decrease, but increase, and you will bump your head and be stopped by the car door. Will be inexplicably scolded. When you are unhappy, you will have more problems. Buddhism can bring you happiness and peace. Let you stop worrying, there may be various situations when you are worried, such as car accidents, wars, or quarrels. This is the short-term benefit that Buddhism can bring you.

So whether you want to lose weight or be president, knowing the rules will help you a lot and save you a lot of energy. Of course, some people think that he can understand the law by himself. However, it seems that the rules summarized by Buddha two thousand years ago were not formulated by wise people. But I also agree that everyone has the right to choose. If you don't care about spending time, you can also choose to summarize yourself. But usually such a summary is not comprehensive, because without teachers and the right path, it is not easy for you to have a comprehensive understanding of the world.

I know a lot of people who will realize that there is really karma when their hair begins to turn gray. However, there is still a big gap between their understanding of karma and what Buddhism says. It's just a superficial understanding.

When you want to lose weight, if you have knowledge of Buddhism, you won't be too depressed, because Buddhism tells you that everything is impermanent, so you don't have to feel inferior for your poor figure, because it is impermanent, and impermanence means you can change it. If you take enough measures, you can lose weight.

But usually we don't know much about Buddhism, so you will fail to lose weight. Buddhism provides you with specific ways to lose weight. First of all, you must analyze and understand the causes of obesity. Everything is a combination. When one or several factors no longer exist, the face of things will change. For example, if you know that one of the reasons for your obesity is overeating at McDonald's, sedentary and unwilling to exercise, you can stop patronizing McDonald's or step up exercise. After removing these two main reasons, the appearance of obesity may change. You can apply the same principle to anything else. Everything must follow the rules. Of course, the Buddha did not ask them to do so. Buddha is not a commander, he is just a discoverer. He found that everything is impermanent and everything is a harmonious phenomenon. As long as you know these two points, it will be very helpful to your life.

When you are awakened by your neighbor's singing in the middle of the night, as long as you understand impermanence, you will understand that he can't sing every night. Of course, you can also add some other factors to stop him from singing at night, such as chatting with him and letting him know that a moral person should not speak when everyone wants to sleep. You can't yell at him. This is a bad factor and will only make things worse. (Text: Lingshan lay) Editor: Bodhi Pole
