Master Chuanxi: How to find out Lushan after a glance outside the door

Vajra saves sentient beings indestructible

12．06．02 The Pilgrimage of Jiuhua Mountain Centennial Palace

The body does not rot and shows its magical powers

We just went to pay homage to Zen Master Wuxia. He went up the mountain at the age of 26 and passed away at the age of 126. He has lived here for 100 years. The Hundred-Sui Palace is named after it.No one knew about him when he was practicing. Three years after his death, an official took his friends to hunt and stayed on this mountain overnight, and saw the light shining here at night.I found this the next day and saw an old monk sitting upright in the cave. Through the words recorded on the things beside him, I realized that the old monk had passed away for more than three years.However, the old monk's body did not rot, and the "Avatamsaka Sutra" written in blood was well preserved.After they discovered it, villagers began to worship, and later monks came to worship.

The tour guide earlier also told us that when the old monk was meditating and passed away, his hands had made seals of meditation. Later, a fire broke out here, and everyone wanted to move him out, but they couldn't move him no matter how hard they were.Everyone prayed quickly, so he lifted his right arm and the fire was extinguished by itself.After the fire was extinguished, the old monk kept lifting his arm and stopped putting it down. Show it to you, have you all seen it?

Today we hear this history and see this historical fact with our own eyes. How do you believe it?This is a problem.Like this one, who has been in six or seven hundred years of body, sits here without rotting, how can you believe it?There are more than a thousand years of more than a thousand years, Master Hanshan of the Tang Dynasty, who is located in Nanhua Temple in Guangdong, and Master Hanshan of the Ming Dynasty, who is still alive and truly sit there.Many scientists who study life and human body have also come to study it, but they cannot find any results.If you want to study mummies in Egypt, he also knows some things, such as taking out the internal organs, how to deal with them, etc. For example, in the British Museum and French Museum, mummies are collected in the British Museum. They also come to clean them every year and take some anticorrosion measures.What we Buddhism does not need is this life phenomenon that stumps all scientists. This is a big question mark.

Pilgrimage, study, study, thinking and practice

We say: If you have any questions, come to learn, and if you have any questions, come to ask.Our Buddhism says: Small doubts and small enlightenment, big doubts and great enlightenment, no doubts and no enlightenment.This is the Bodhisattva who saves sentient beings. He shows this appearance and lets you think: Why is this happening?Using what you know to guess, you can't think about it. The Buddhist scriptures say: Inconceivable, inconceivable, incredible.It is to let you study, think and practice well and find the correct answer - life can be surpassed!

This old monk practices well when he is alive. He is very strange. He saves sentient beings after he dies. We are preaching with our mouths while we live, and the old monk uses his body after he dies.Everyone should understand the words with their mouths, and everyone should understand the words with their body.Just walking around like this, watching him holding his arms there, and he has been holding it for hundreds of years. What is he doing?He always has something to say to you.What did he say to us?We must think carefully. We must go back with this question. We often think at work and in life: I am living, and this old man is still sitting there. There are so many people every day, whether it is tourists or pilgrims, so many people come to see him. He just sits like this. What do he want to tell us?This is a big question mark. What message does he want to convey to us are very important.

He will not rot when he dies, and we are all stinking when we live.What is a mortal?When you are alive, you will be born and died every day, and you will die every moment.The black and white impermanence in the Hall of Yama we saw in the morning. When we live, black and white impermanence will follow. He will still be eternal when he dies, and black and white impermanence will not look for him.Not only does his body not corrupt when he died, but his body also emits a faint fragrance.We will smell bad when we are alive and we will have to take a shower in a few days. If we don’t wash, we won’t smell it yourself.

The same is true for the old man in Xianghe. I just visited Xianghe, Hebei last year. The old man has been lying there for 18 years and walked into her room. Not only does he have no smell of corpse, but also a faint fragrance.This is a big problem.

The men, women, and even lay Buddhists who become monks in our Buddhist world all have this incredible life phenomenon, just as our Buddhism says: If you become a monk and a layman, you will get the master's practice, and you will get the mother-in-law. If you have practice and get the mother-in-law, you will get the mother-in-law. If you have practice and get the mother-in-law, you will get the mother-in-law. If you have practice, you will not get the mother-in-law.Should we think about this life?Do you want to repair it?Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are all made by humans and are also cultivated by ordinary people. They are clearly a clear path, but they are unwilling to practice.If you don’t practice, you won’t get it. If you practice, you will definitely get it. This is the great thing about Buddhism.It has scientific attributes, called practicality and operability. Anyone who practices it can do it. This cause will inevitably lead to this result. This is what we need to think about.

We saw the old monk's true body, which is called body language. When we were alive, we confiscated a disciple, and after we died, we used this body to teach us.All of us who come to see it, think carefully, and understand it, then you will be his apprentice.If you don’t look at it or think about it, just a tourist, missed the opportunity to save yourself and plant good roots, what a pity?This is a good teacher. A teacher who has been waiting for you for hundreds of years is sitting here waiting for you, watching you, and you will pass by when you come here. This is a sage waiting for you.You pass by the sages, it’s your own fault, it’s a pity.We have many opportunities to become saints, and we must be able to seize opportunities and seize opportunities.Li Bai said that our lives are like passers-by for a hundred years, passing by in an instant.

We are in this hundred-year-old palace. Look at the old monk who has been meditating for 100 years, and our ancestor Jin Qiaojue from Jiuhua Mountain has been meditating for 75 years. When Master Bodhidharma came to China, he was already 120 years old and left China at the age of 150.That thousand-year-old treasure palm was born during the reign of King Weilie of Zhou. He passed away in China and passed away in Zhuji, Zhejiang, and was in his 1,070s.Why can their lives shine so brilliantly?What is truth?Is there any truth in this world?What exactly does Buddhism talk about?Buddha is in Indian language, and Chinese means enlightenment and wisdom. What exactly is this wisdom?The Buddha waited for us in this world for hundreds of millions of years, constantly creating surprises, which left us with thought and a space for reflection and enlightenment.

A few years ago, the Buddha's finger relic came out, and the Buddha's pin bone relic came out again in recent years. The Buddha has been creating miracles in our world, but we are still not touched?There are so many fleshly Bodhisattvas in Mount Jiuhua. Every fleshly Bodhisattva is a great Bodhisattva. They are all living Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas who show their sages. They come to worship Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva on Mount Jiuhua. So many fleshly Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas are preaching to you. Where did you hear it?Do you understand?If you don’t understand and don’t cause deep thoughts, the travel expenses in Jiuhua Mountain will be in vain.

However, when we look for things without searching, since the Buddha is talking about wisdom, we must activate our own wisdom in order to understand the wisdom of the Buddha, so we can get it without any effort.Although Jiuhua Mountain shoes have been polished a lot, when you go back, you have to keep these questions in your heart. If you have a small doubt, a small understanding, a big doubt, a big understanding, you will still be able to gain wisdom at that time.Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have a thousand miles of eyes and ears. No matter where you are, as long as you remember Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, you will lie on the bed at your own home. As long as you remember Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will still reveal themselves in your dreams.If we do not have any respect for Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in our hearts and do not think about the principles of Buddhas, then your heart will not be in touch with Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

In a thought of correspondence with BuddhaSo this time we were in Lingyin Temple, we specifically told everyone: Look at "the West is in the West", what does it mean?The Buddhist scriptures say that the West is ten trillion Buddha lands away from us, one is far away, even further away than the ends of the earth;But here it is very close, close, within a short distance, less than a foot. (Skip to: six to eight inches )One is close to you, and the other is the end of the world. Is the Buddha far away from you?Or is it close?It depends on whether we are attentive or not.If you are attentive, Buddha and you will be close to each other;If you don’t care, oh, Buddha is a ten trillion Buddha land, do you know?

Therefore, we must all be attentive, and we must be attentive in our lives, especially when facing sages.There are many people who just say: If you don’t believe it, I don’t believe it.You may not believe it, but you must at least maintain a kind of respect for the sages, right?When we come to the Buddha land and face the sages, this is the essence of Chinese civilization and the essence of Chinese culture. In the entire human civilization, you see, China still maintains this miracle. This is the greatest wealth that China can face the world!

I have studied a lot of human cultures, from ancient Babylonian to ancient Egypt, ancient Athenian to Mayan, to Inca culture, all of which have become relics, and only our Chinese culture is still vivid.Buddhism has been around for more than 2,600 years. You see, we still have heirs now, and the others are already in museums, and archaeologists are studying it there.We still have successors, and are still practicing, and we still come out one by one.Now, five of them are all seven of them in Jiuhua Mountain. ***Later, it only appeared after the 1990s, and this is called "modern".Look at this one, ***When he was buried underground, he had been buried for more than ten years. When he was dug out, even the iron rod next to him was rusted. But you see, his body is still intact, so it is called the Vajra Indestructible Body, which is even more powerful than copper and iron, so Vajra is used to describe Him.

Cultural treasures must be inherited

Since this is the case, let’s think about it, this culture is still passed down in our China, which is a priceless treasure. The cultural essence of the Chinese nation. As the descendants of Yan and Huang, we should cherish it well and not be prodigal sons.Isn’t it a pity that we ignore what our ancestors left to us and even use it as a money tree?So we all have to take our hearts. This is a big matter that concerns our lives and whether we go to hell or to heaven.There are hell and heaven in this world. If you can learn from sages and be sages, then the road to heaven is.Otherwise, the old monk just said: greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, doubt, five roots of hell, wealth, sex, fame, food, sleep, and obstacles to practice.

The road of life is always done by yourself, how can you walk?Have you planned it?This is very important.Each of us is different, why?Because of the current disorder of values.In the past, the ancients saw that values ​​were relatively unified and literature carried the truth. Our Chinese ancestors still believed that there was truth in the world and that there was truth in the world.

Truth can be transformed into personification, and the personification of truth is Buddha.

Since it is the truth, it can be expressed in words, and this is the Dharma.

This method can also be practiced, which forms a monk treasure.

Therefore, Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha become the three treasures in our lives.

Amitabha!
