Khenpo Dazhen: What is the purpose of asking the monks to pray for us?

Question: I do not have enough faith in the master and the Three Jewels, and I have not expressed my true compassion. Can I gain results when I am a special session of protecting the Dharma and fire giving?

The master replied: You will definitely get benefits.Doing blessings and doing any good deeds is a kind of good root in itself, and it is also a accumulation of merit.Whether you pray to the monks or pray to the Three Jewels, you will be blessed with faith. The greater the faith, the greater the blessing. Even if you do not have enough faith, even if you only have a little faith, you can get corresponding blessings.Therefore, doing Buddhist rituals is definitely meaningful and you will definitely benefit.

For example, when we do supernatural powers for the deceased, he had no faith or good roots when he was alive, but if his relatives could do supernatural powers for him, everyone could do good deeds for him, it was because he had this fate and good roots. In the final analysis, it was because his good roots were mature, so he would definitely benefit.But isn’t it necessary to push him to the good realm and let him escape from the three realms? Not necessarily.It depends on his fate and good roots.Although he had never done any good deeds when he was alive, perhaps his good roots and fate were not yet mature.But no one knows how big the good roots and the deep fate he stored in Alaya.If his fate is particularly deep and his good roots are particularly large, he may be able to be reborn in the good realm and even escape from the three realms.Otherwise, there would not be such a good effect.In short, you will definitely get benefits.

We do blessings, pray for the Three Jewels, and ask the monks to pray for us. First, we can increase our faith, and second, we can eliminate some obstacles in our hearts.For example, if you go out to do business today, but you are not sure. You can use your strength to pray for blessings, so you will know in your mind: "The Three Jewels have blessed me, and the monks have already recited scriptures for me, and this matter will definitely be successful."This will bring you confidence and courage, and your aura will be different.

Sometimes I feel that I have obstacles in my heart, and that I have things at home and on my body. In fact, it is because my mind is not pure that I have such an inspiration.If the mind is pure, there will be no such thing.Therefore, when the mind is not pure and there are obstacles in the mind, the obstacles can be removed through prayer.If you believe in the power of the guru and the power of the monks, you can completely remove the obstacles in your heart, so that the external obstacles will be removed and things will be smooth.

The Buddha also prayed for blessings when he was alive, and our master Ruyibao also prayed for blessings when he was alive. This is definitely a very meaningful thing.But don’t force yourself to pray, you should follow the circumstances.Do it with your own intention and intention. Being willing and having a desire is itself a kind of offering, an energy and faith.

Many people may not understand that some people are superstitious and do not practice, and often hope to rely on the power of gods and Buddhas to achieve what they want. This is not feasible.Occasionally, with the help of God and the power of Buddha, you can increase your faith and remove obstacles to your own mind.Praying blessings is also a helping factor for us practitioners, but we cannot rely solely on blessings to achieve success. Praying blessings can remove some obstacles and increase our confidence.

Sometimes you really can’t get through the barrier and cannot remove the obstacles in your heart. You can pray for some blessings, which will completely eliminate the obstacles.
