2014-11-10 Introduction to Buddhism
ask:Successful people who gain both fame and fortune are very confident in their lives and often have a sympathy or disdainful attitude towards learning Buddhism. Please give me some advice.
Sodaji Khenpo answered:Many people in the world think that their life goals are clear, but from the perspective of those who study Mahayana Buddhism, their life goals are actually very confused.When choosing your life goals, you should consider: What is an important thing?What are long-term interests?You should not be short-sighted in this regard, but should be far-sighted, so that your actions will be meaningful.
Everything in the world has no real meaning, such as wealth, reputation, status, feelings, etc. Many people are particularly attached to these worldly laws, but in another twenty or thirty years they will know that the objects that are busy with them will disappear and will not be used at all when they die. Only the good roots they have done in their lifetime will follow their consciousness and allow themselves to gain long-term happiness.
Buddhism is an extremely special object. If anyone has the opportunity to receive such a holy Dharma, he will plant the good roots of liberation and will surely obtain the Bodhi fruit.There is a teaching in the "Avatamsaka Sutra": "If all sentient beings have not developed the Bodhicitta, they will definitely become Bodhi once they hear the name of the Buddha."It means that if a sentient being has never developed the Bodhicitta and later occasionally hears the Buddha's name, it will be determined that he will achieve the Bodhi fruit through this cause and condition.This teaching and evidence is very profound. Not only those who study Buddhism should think about its meaning, but all those who pursue happiness also have to think about it. If they can truly understand its meaning, it will definitely have considerable benefits.
