Time to relax

 Life is short and full of challenges. Can we clear all obstacles all depend on each individual. Mindset is the critical factor and it affects us how to handle daily encounters.

Through personal learning and experiences, each individual has the fixed thoughts about the societies and the world.

What types of education and influence can shape our attitudes towards life journey.

I wish all people happy everyday, whatever bad happened in the past doesn't matter. Start from today, understanding and adjust our mindset towards positivity. Life is fair enough, don't blame others. In flat we all have to responsible for our actions. Cause and effect is natural law, nobody can escape this no matter what because all activities are all recorded naturally.

Wish everyone happy life, smile 😁😊

小儿语四言全文

 四言

一切言动,都要安详,十差九错,只为慌张。

沉静立身,从容说话,不要轻薄,惹人笑骂。

先学耐烦,快休使气,性躁心粗,一生不济。

能有几句,见人胡讲,洪钟无声,满瓶不响。

自家过失,不须遮掩,遮掩不得,又添一短。

无心之失,说开罢手,一差半错,哪个没有。

须好认错,休要说慌,教人识破,谁肯作养。

要成好人,须寻好友,引酵若酸,哪得甜酒。

与人讲话,看人面色,意不相投,不须强说。

当面破人,惹祸最大,是与不是,尽他说罢。

造言生事,谁不怕你,也要提防,王法天理。

我打人还,自打几下,我骂人还,换口自骂。

既做生人,便有生理,个个安贤,谁养活你。

世间艺业,要会一件,有时贫穷,救你患难。

饱食足衣,乱说闲耍,终日昏昏,不如牛马。

担头车尾,穷汉营生,日求升合,休与相争。

强取巧图,只嫌不够,横来之物,要你承受。

心要慈悲,事要方便,残忍刻薄,惹人恨怨。

手下奴仆,从容调理,他若有才,不服侍你。

一不积财,二不结怨,睡也安然,走也方便。

要知亲恩,看你儿郎,要求子顺,先孝爷娘。

别人性情,与我一般,时时体悉,件件从宽。

卑幼不才,瞒避尊长,外人笑骂,父母夸奖。

从小为人,休坏一点,覆水难收,悔恨已晚。

贪财之人,至死不止,不义得来,付与败子。

都要便宜,我得人不,亏人是祸,亏己是福。

正人君子,邪人不喜,你又恶他,他肯饶你。

今日用度,前日积下,今日用尽,来日乞化。

无可奈何,只要安命,怨叹躁急,又增一病。

自家有过,人说要听,当局者迷,旁观者醒。

白日所为,夜来省己,是恶当惊,是善休喜。

怒多横语,喜多狂言,一时偏急,过后羞惭。

人生在世,守身实难,一味小心,方保百年。

读圣贤书,字字体验,口耳之学,梦中吃饭。

The purpose of buddhism

 Buddhist common sense

 Chinese Buddhism >Introduction to Buddhism > General Knowledge of Buddhism >

 What is Buddhism for?  The purpose of studying Buddhism

 2013-07-30 [Buddhism common sense]


 Why worship Buddha?  The correct posture of worshiping Buddha is always cranky, what should I do if I can't calm down?  Why do we need to worship Buddha in disaster relief?  The correct posture of worshiping Buddha is always cranky, what should I do if I can't calm down?

 


 What is Buddhism for?  The purpose of studying Buddhism

 To learn Buddhism, one must learn to become a Buddha. Only by freeing oneself from suffering can one help sentient beings to free themselves from suffering and save them.


 If we want to learn Buddhism, we must understand the meaning of the word "cultivation".  Learning Buddhism is learning from life and work, correcting our wrong thoughts and behaviors!  "Practice" means mistakes in thoughts, opinions, words, pretensions, and behaviors. Correcting the mistakes is "cultivation." Take the Buddhadharma as a mirror to look at yourself, and never look at others!  Save yourself!  When you find that you think wrongly, read wrongly, say wrongly, or do wrongly, you are enlightened.  After enlightenment, it is "cultivation" to correct mistakes.


 Let me tell you a little story: under a tree, lies a wolf.  At this time, a little squirrel happened to run over.  The wolf pounced at once and caught the little squirrel.  It said to the little squirrel: "Before eating you, please tell me why you are so happy and jumping up and down every day. My strength and other aspects are greater than yours, but why do I frown every day?  "


 The little squirrel said, "Let go of me first, and I can tell you."


 The wolf let go of the little squirrel, and the little squirrel quickly climbed to the branch and told the wolf, "Why are you unhappy? Because every day you think about how to harm others, how to catch others and make them all  Eat it. I don't have any of these bad intentions, so I'm very happy!"


 Of course, this is just a little fable in the world.  But we can also get a revelation from it: a practitioner, to be truly happy and free, must get it from our heart.  People in the world are pitiful because they haven't found a way to practice and don't know how to cultivate this heart.  Although we know the path of cultivation, we need to truly subdue our heart on this path, just like the picture of cattle herding painted by the ancients. To subdue the cow and ride it home, it really needs a process.


 Because we have greed. First, we practice "giving" in Buddhism, and giving is giving, and giving up greed; because we often do bad karma. Second, in Buddhism, we "hold the precepts" and break evil and turn to good; we have anger. Third, Buddhism  We cultivate "forbearance", and forbearance is the countermeasure against anger; 4. Cultivation of "diligence" to counteract one's laxity and laziness; 5. Cultivation of "meditation" to counteract one's distraction; 6. Cultivation of "prajna" to counteract  own stupidity.


 Buddhism gives us these six rules. If you can implement it in your life, in your work, and in dealing with people and things, you are practicing the way of the Bodhisattva.  What is the Bodhisattva Way?  In other words, you are living the life of a bodhisattva, not the life of a mortal.  Therefore, the Dharma can only be effective if it is implemented. If it cannot be implemented, how many years of studying this Dharma and how many classics I have read, it is useless to learn a single one.


 There are three words to learn Buddhism, one of which is indispensable.  It is 'Wen Si Xiu'.  Hearing is hearing, 'The Buddhadharma is unpleasant, but I have heard it now.  ' It is not easy to be able to hear the Dharma.  But after hearing it, it was in vain without further thought.  Now there are 12 parts of the Sanzang everywhere, but the sutras do not open their mouths to proclaim them.  The so-called 'Buddha Dharma has no one to say, although wisdom cannot understand it.  ’ So it is necessary to think deeply and study deeply.  Besides, the Dharma of reciting Buddhahood in the Pure Land is difficult to believe.  From this, it can be seen that the study of pure land light is not enough, and it must be practiced.  If it cannot be implemented, it is nonsense.  To know that more hearing is worse than more thinking, more thinking is worse than more action, all three are indispensable.


 You have studied Buddhism for many years, but you are still obsessed with fame, fame, and self-interest, or you are still obedient to your troubles, or you are still doing bad karma.  You are not very good at learning Buddhism.


 An eminent monk said that in today's Buddhism, it is not that no one believes in it, nor that no one studies it, but that there are too few people who truly practice it, and too few people who have real enlightenment.  Although there are many people who talk about the principles of the Buddha Dharma in a hype and righteous way, but if they don't put them into practice, they can't be combined with the real life.  Saying one zhang is worse than making one inch is like a person has a lot of money. If you lock it in a box and don't use it, then no amount of money will be of use, like a pile of waste paper.  Money can only play its value and function when it is used.


 Why do some people study Buddhism for many years, yet their troubles remain the same;  The fault is in the combination.  The word "learning" we usually talk about has two meanings. "Learning" is one level, and "Xi" is another level.  Learning refers to practice, practice, and combination to be called complete learning.  Practice has proved that in our study of Buddhism, every combination will yield a gain; every combination will lead to progress.


 If the study of Buddhism cannot be combined with real life or with one's own thoughts, words and deeds, then Buddha-knowledge will still be Buddha-knowledge, my opinion is still my opinion, and learning is equal to learning in vain.  For example: Buddhism teaches us to give, but we are still selfish, greedy and reluctant to give up.  How can there be progress in this kind of Buddhist study of "learning to learn, listening to listening, doing and doing"?  Learning Buddhism without union can only deceive oneself by "painting cakes to satisfy hunger" and "viewing plums to quench thirst".

USA, Australia, Canada must stop genocide and

 Xinhua News Agency, Geneva, March 18. On March 18, during the 49th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, China and Venezuela jointly held a video side event on the theme of "Systemic Violations of Indigenous Rights in the United States, Canada and Australia" in Geneva.  .  More than 150 people including diplomats in Geneva, representatives of non-governmental organizations, experts, and media reporters attended the conference online.


 Jiang Duan, Minister of Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations Office in Geneva and other international organizations in Switzerland, introduced the "Historical Facts and Realistic Evidence of the Genocide of Indians by the United States" recently published by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  and other means to systematically deprive Indians of their right to subsistence and basic political, economic, and cultural rights.  The unidentified graves and remains of Aboriginal children have been continuously discovered in Canada, and the truth is still unknown.  Australia has historically implemented the "White Australia Policy", which has forced 100,000 Aboriginal children from their families.  Indigenous peoples still face widespread and systemic discrimination and inequality in these countries.  The United States, Canada, and Australia should seriously reflect on their mistakes and investigate and hold accountable crimes that violate the rights of indigenous peoples.


 The Permanent Representative of Venezuela, Rosales, said that the United States, Canada and Australia call themselves "human rights teachers", but their human rights conditions are shocking.  Indigenous peoples in these countries have been systematically discriminated against and oppressed for a long time, and face all kinds of injustice and violence, but Western mainstream media have deliberately avoided them.  These countries frequently accuse and slander developing countries and impose illegal unilateral coercive measures, causing great suffering to the people of the countries concerned.  The international community should continue to pay attention to the violations of human rights by the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries and hold them accountable.


 The Permanent Representative of the DPRK, Han Tae-song, said that the U.S., Canada, and Australia carried out brutal genocide against indigenous peoples such as Indians, and history should not be forgotten.  The representative of Iran said that the destruction of indigenous identities and cultures by the United States, Canada and Australia is a vicious act of cultural genocide.  The representative of Russia pointed out that to this day, indigenous people in the United States, Canada, and Australia still suffer from racial discrimination and injustice in health care, education, housing, social security, etc.  Not too high.


 Aboriginal representatives from Australia and Canada said that the United States, Canada and Australia must face up to historical crimes and recognize and protect the rights that Aboriginal people deserve.


 At the meeting, the documentary "Genocide Hate" was also played.
