master fawen: the lotus sutra is the core of buddhism

《the lotus sutra is the core of buddhism

《the lotus sutra is the true meaning of buddha. the core and focus of the buddha's entire doctrine and thought lies in this sutra, the entire tripitaka and twelve divisions, and the focus of the entire buddhism is in this sutra.

“the enlightened shurangama sutra, the lotus sutra of becoming a buddha, the ancients said this. because he was the most perfect and lasted forty-nine years of preaching, the buddha finally showed us all the wonderful dharma he realized and realized at all, and summarized the dharma. because the content of the sutra is supreme, it clearly shows that no matter whether it is rich or poor, no matter how low a person is, everyone can become a buddha, so the lotus sutra is also known as the "king of the sutra". this is the position of the lotus sutra in the entire buddha's teachings and teachings. it is called the "king of the sutra" to be born and become a buddha. he is the great dharma that the buddha preached in the last highly summarized and summarized, and calls him the wonderful dharma.

we read so many buddhist scriptures and learned so many buddhist scriptures. many people are learning other scriptures, but they do not pay attention to this sutra. why? this is a symbol of the dharma-ending age. the real and most core things have been disturbed and diluted by some unimportant interference. the awareness of sentient beings to "select the dharma and distinguish the importance" is weakened and they cannot grasp the key points. after practicing and studying buddhism for many years, i can’t even understand what buddhism says and what the buddha wants to say. what the buddha said after reading the ksitigarbha sutra, and what the buddha said after reading the amitabha sutra, what the buddha said after reading the amitabha sutra. what exactly do the buddha say? why do you feel this way? because i have not read the buddhist scriptures in a comprehensive way, and have not read the scriptures of the one vehicle's ultimate meaning.

《the lotus sutra is the last summary and summary preaching of the buddha. the previous "ksitigarbha sutra" and "diamond sutra" are both targeted statements of time and place. this sutra is said by the buddha without asking about it, and when the cause and condition comes, he will not ask about it. therefore, the original intention of the buddha's teachings is to introduce this sutra, and the diamond sutra and other methods are also used to lay the foundation for this sutra.

in our saha world, it is very difficult to say that the lotus sutra is perfect and liberated in the five turbidities and evil worlds. the sutra says that many bodhisattvas have vowed to go to other worlds to teach and teach sentient beings in this world, and are unwilling to teach sentient beings in this world, because sentient beings in this world are strong and difficult to transform, and are truly beneficial to life itself. sentient beings think that they are superstitious and illusory things, and are a kind of spiritual sustenance, which is distorted from black and white, and are distorted from the slight and heavy, so it is difficult to educate.

why did the buddha speak this sutra when he was about to die in his old age? when the buddha said this sutra, he was really tired physically and mentally. the dharma he had said so many years ago gave sentient beings a step forward. he did not explain it completely, nor could he explain it thoroughly. if he explained it thoroughly, everyone could not accept it, understand it thoroughly, or digest it. therefore, after 49 years of preaching, the meaning of this sutra was only displayed at the end. the buddha came to the world to introduce the meaning of the lotus sutra. those who have the chance to listen to the buddha's lecture on this sutra will definitely be able to persist in practicing for many years, follow the buddha for many years, and persevere until the end, and they will definitely have a strong foundation, and it is easier for them to accept this sutra.

this concept can be expanded to look at it. as long as we future disciples can persist in practicing and have the opportunity to read and comprehend this sutra, and uphold this sutra, be able to get in touch with this sutra, and be able to read and recite the lotus sutra in a complete way, comprehend once or even observe it many times and several times, we can achieve great achievements!

《the lotus sutra of wonderful dharma is a sutra that people who are destined to have a connection with the buddha should understand. if we don’t learn this sutra, we will not be able to answer all the questions about buddhism. after learning this sutra, we will understand the different statements about buddhism and buddhism, and we will stand at a higher level for disputes. in addition, by studying the lotus sutra, we can understand the true dharma, which is the wonderful dharma. while comprehending ourselves, we must also promptly recommend ourselves to others.
