Chapter 328 Amitabha

But Ji Wu didn't say much, just smiled gently and said: "I don't need you to do anything for that method, I just need you to recite Amitabha Buddha sincerely."

"Pure Land Sect?" Nie Shuangyan had also heard of it. The Pure Land Sect is one-hearted, and one can be reborn in the Pure Land by reciting Amitabha Buddha.

Although Nie Shuangyan didn't have much skill, her miscellaneous knowledge was unexpectedly rich.

Ji Wu nodded: "Although Buddhism is divided into various sects, no matter which sect it is, you don't have to look at it with too narrow a view, because no matter which sect you are in, they all seek purity and liberation wholeheartedly. Therefore, as long as you Well, then what's wrong with learning them? Three thousand ways, all paths are liberation."

What he said made sense, but Nie Shuangyan was unable to refute it, so he could only listen to it with peace of mind.

Jiwudao: "Huayi, listen carefully to the reason why I preached to you the reason for chanting Amitabha Buddha wholeheartedly."

Put your palms together: "Yes, please master to preach for me."

"A is the Buddha of the ten directions and three times, and the word Mi is all Bodhisattvas. The word Tuo is eighty thousand saints, and among the three characters, it is complete. In one sentence, Amitabha is the king of Buddha, the king of dharma, the king of curses, and the king of merit. Specially recite "Namo Amitabha Buddha" Buddha, that is, always uphold and always recite all Buddhas, all Bodhisattvas, all scriptures and mantras, and all practices.The so-called "eighty-four thousand teachings, all six characters are collected." It is also said that "the eight teachings are comprehensive, and the five sects are comprehensive." Not only can you be reborn in the pure land at the end of your life, but you can also achieve physical and mental peace in this world. "Jiwudao
Jiwu said again: "Is there much merit in reciting Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

After thinking for a while, he said, "Many."

Jiwu smiled and said: "However, the merits of reciting Amitabha Buddha are a million times more than reciting Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. How do you know? According to the "Avalokitesvara Sutra", there is a person offering 62 billion Ganges sand Bodhisattva, even for a while, it is better to pay homage to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva The "Ten Wheels Sutra" says: "It is better to think of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for one meal than to think of Avalokitesvara for a hundred kalpas." "Qunyi Lun" says: "It is better to read Amitabha Buddha once for a long kalpa than to think of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once." Why? The Buddha is the king of the Dharma, and the Bodhisattva is the minister of the law. When the king comes out, the ministers will follow, and the power can overwhelm the small. The Buddha is full of enlightenment, surpassing all positions, so the merits of those who accumulate thoughts are the most, which are hundreds of thousands of times greater than that of Earth Store. Bodhisattvas If you do not belong to the Buddha's land, the fruit is not perfect, so the merit is the least."

Isn’t this theory part of the Pure Land sect?

Nie Shuangyan was a little puzzled, but she wasn't sure. You know, because of her rejection of Buddhism and Taoism, she had never carefully studied the classics of the two schools, and even if she wanted to refute them, she couldn't refute them.

Ji Wuhuan said: "Therefore, the name of Amitabha Buddha is the Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi Dharma that Master Sakyamuni obtained in the evil world of five turbidities. Therefore, to transform your mind, you only need to chant Amitabha Buddha with one heart."

Huayi put his hands together and said: "I would like to listen to the instruction."

Jiwu nodded slightly and said, "You go."

After Huayi left, he didn't care much about the Sutra Pavilion.

Seeing him leave, Nie Shuangyan asked puzzledly: "As you said, there are so many ways in the world, why did you choose this one for him. I don't believe there is no other suitable for him."

Jiwu sighed and said: "Nature exists, but Huayi's nature is stupid. He is not a great person, let alone a wise person. Fortunately, he is kind-hearted. Therefore, it is best for him to chant Amitabha, and there is no need for him to be careful. Studying does not require him to have sudden enlightenment. As long as he has an uninterrupted thought, he can reach the Dharma King. You must know that it is easy to recite sutras but difficult to interpret them. It is always idle to recite sutras orally without understanding them. It is laborious to understand them without relying on empty space. It is in vain to recite thousands of volumes every day. .”

Nie Shuangyan half-jokingly said: "However, what we say, Master Ji Wu, you can use the Dharma to deal with it, so very powerful."

"All these principles have been taught by Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and eminent monks. I'm just picking up people's wisdom, so what's so great about it. If you practice, you should understand this truth." Ji Wuping said calmly, "Tan Yue thoughtfully , you can come to the meditation room to find me, if I have something to do, go first."

"OK, bye."

Nie Shuangyan went back with the Buddhist scriptures in his arms. After reading the Buddhist scriptures for a while, he went to look for Mo Yamo when he was eating in the afternoon.

Mo Yamo was emotionally stable at the moment and could even smile. After hearing about Nie Shuangyan's intention, he said, "I'll ask Tonghua to deliver it to you later."

Nie Shuangyan wanted to ask her where she was going in the afternoon, but felt that it was really bad to pry into other people's private affairs like this, so she gave up and went back.

After a while, Tonghua sent the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Nie Shuangyan gave up after copying a Buddhist scripture and went to bed to rest.

It was because she was so naive, she forgot for a moment that the brush was used here, and the crooked handwriting she wrote was really unattractive, no, even she herself couldn't stand it.

In the following days, Nie Shuangyan lived a life of copying Buddhist scriptures every day.

As time went by, she didn't think much about the things that made people anxious, and she didn't have any evil thoughts in her heart. The irritability caused by the unreliable things handled by the 9527 system gradually disappeared, and she was calm and calm every day. very.

She is actually very old, without those extremes, she looks more like an adult, but other people don't feel puzzled, because Nie Shuangyan seldom goes out, and because there is a young novice of her age in the temple They are all so quiet, and they don't play around like secular children.

The years just slipped away in this daily copying of scriptures.

Daoist Cangwu never came, and the 9527 system never responded, and even Xuan Ming, who Nie Shuangyan thought was most likely to come, didn't show up either.

She seemed to lose touch with those pasts all at once.

She lives her life in a leisurely manner, and only seeks help from others when she is in doubt.

Today, she found Jiwu.

"Master Jiwu, I have a question and I want to ask for advice." Nie Shuangyan had a good sense of Jiwu, so he simply followed the monks in the temple to call him Master Jiwu.

Jiwu said: "You say."

"I have seen many Bodhisattvas or Buddhas in the Buddhist scriptures who arouse the bodhicitta. Can I get anything by arousing the bodhicitta?"

"Those who arouse the Bodhi mind are not for their own benefit, but for the ten directions and all dharma realms, and for all extremely suffering beings to rely on."

"...For others?" Nie Shuangyan pondered, "Although I am very moved, I always feel that I can't do it if I want to arouse bodhicitta like them."

She smiled and said: "When I was copying Buddhist scriptures, I saw Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva making great vows, which inevitably affected me. I always wanted to make a vow: I am willing to save the world with bodhicitta."

"This is good."

But Nie Shuangyan smiled wryly: "But then I thought, I can't spend my next life on it, so I thought: I should be willing to help the world with bodhicitta in this life."

She laughed more and more helplessly: "Think again: you can pull it down, I don't want to save the world in my life."

"Then I said: I'm happy if I don't make a wish."

In the end, she looked at Jiwu helplessly and said, "I'm really a selfish person. I can't do what Buddhas and Bodhisattvas do, arousing bodhicitta for the sake of all living beings. I'm not even willing to give in this life. Sigh."
