The true face of Buddhism: 33: Buddhist disciples should be knowledgeable and informative

33：Buddhist disciples should be knowledgeable and informative

Taking refuge in the Three Jewels of Buddhism, Dharma and Sangha, and not taking refuge in the evil spirits and heretics is a creed that Buddhist disciples must abide by.However, some Buddhist disciples cannot understand this correctly or in place after entering the Buddhist practice. They separate themselves from real life and sentient beings in everything, always think that they are superior and no longer need to learn secular knowledge and other religious things, and then they cannot stand the joyful relationship with sentient beings, often discuss the right and wrong with sentient beings with a straight face, have no rejoicing heart and skillful convenience, etc. These are all very inappropriate.When Shakyamuni was alive, he asked his disciples to learn the Five Skills: 1. Statement, namely vocal and rhyme studies and Chinese literature;2. Craftsmanship, that is, all craftsmanship, technology, calculation, calendar, etc.;3. Medical prescriptions are clear, that is, medicine;4. Reasoning and illumination are logic and philosophy;5. Fruit Ming, religion and Buddhism.

The basic conditions for being a Bodhisattva are to have extensive learning and earnest compassion.

Mahayana Buddhism calls for the hard to learn and learn everything.Buddhism not only encourages Buddhist disciples to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but also believes that doubt and comparison are the first step in practice. They do not doubt or understand, and only have small doubts and small enlightenment can lead to great enlightenment.Only after comparison can we know what the ultimate Dharma is.Forbidding others to doubt and compare is a manifestation of arbitrary and unconfidence. The belief obtained by rejecting and avoiding everything is not true belief, and the heart of Tao will not be strong.Just like some heretic wizards or cult wizards always prohibit their followers from rejecting and rejecting other books and theories, this is very arbitrary.When the Buddha's disciple Shariputra questioned the Buddha's teachings, the Buddha said happily: Good.Think of this as a sign of honesty.When you don’t have a heart-to-heart understanding, you must not deceive yourself. Doubt is often one of the causes of realizing the truth.

Sakyamuni divided the methods of transforming the world into five vehicles (i.e., the human vehicle, the heavenly vehicle, the shravaka vehicle, the pratyekabuddha vehicle, and the bodhisattva vehicle. For details, please refer to the relevant Buddhist scriptures). The human vehicle (human and the heavenly vehicle) is the basis of practicing Buddhism, and is also a common method of all religions (except cults) and heretics. It is also a common good Dharma advocated by all secular humanities and natural sciences.Therefore, true Buddhist disciples cannot reject other good deeds (this is the basis for entering the Buddha), and it is even more unstoppable if they slander secular science, heretics and other religions.Because all dharmas are harmonious, whether they are worldly wisdom, scientific civilization, or heretic qigong, they must have advantages, and some of them have achieved very high results.In a relative sense, they are all products of certain wisdom of sentient beings, and they are some kind of support or manifestation of the ultimate good deeds in the secular world.It is both wonderful and true emptiness, and it is also true emptiness of dependent origination.

Originally, Prajna Paramita is soluble in everything. Good practitioners can not only identify the incompleteness of all dependent origination laws, but also learn their strengths humbly.Good deeds do not necessarily appear in the context of Buddha. On the contrary, the things behind the semantic context of Buddha are one with all good deeds themselves.Volume 6 of the "Great Convenience Buddha's Grace" says: The Buddha takes the Dharma as his teacher, and the Buddha is born from the Dharma;The dharma is the visible dharma of Buddha Mother is not inferior to that of Buddha.Sakyamuni also had to follow the law to be liberated from birth and death, and then to become a Buddha.Of course, Buddhist disciples must also rely on the ultimate and fundamental good deeds to obtain ultimate and perfect rewards.This Dharma passed down by Sakyamuni after he realized the enlightenment and became a Buddha in accordance with the Dharma for more than two thousand years, provides us with the possibility of ultimate perfection.Therefore, since then, the concepts and names of Buddha and Buddhism have emerged in the world (our time and space).Its core is the ultimate good deed, which is the Prajna Paramita.

The Buddha said that there is a state of practice called Pratyekabuddha, which is higher than the state of Arhat and can attain the level of Pratyekabuddha.Although such a person may not have the chance to meet the Buddha in his life and never hear the Buddha's teachings, he has always insisted on practicing alone, and can focus on the mind and observe impermanence, thus realizing certain good deeds (called the twelve links of dependent origination) and attaining certain wisdom, so he is called sovereign enlightenment.That is, the meaning of enlightenment alone.If the only enlightenment meets the Buddha and stays in the world, it is called the Pratyekabuddha. After obtaining the ultimate good deeds, it will make rapid progress and achieve greater success.Therefore, Buddhism has no way of doing things, and all things are harmonious, and all things are returned to the roots. A true Buddhist disciple will not only not slander or denounce secular science and other religions, but will also learn humbly from all religions, heretic qigong masters, and secular sciences, learn from others' strengths and make up for one's own weaknesses.
