People with annual income exceeding 100 million: Discovering an incredible power. Oath, vow, vow
For example, hungry ghosts are forced to themselves for great heat and thirst. Seeing that the sea water is exhausted, it is not the sea that the hungry ghosts pass by themselves; this is the treasure given by the Bodhisattva. It's like the sea has no mistakes, it's all sentient beings' self-work, just like a hungry ghost's self-deteal karma is fruitless!"
——"Deciphering the Deep Secret Sutra"
The meaning of this passage is clear. Poor sentient beings have no blessings because of their own karma. Even if the Bodhisattva gives him treasures, he will not get them.
The Jizang Sutra mentions that patients give up their own belongings to support or shape Buddha and Bodhisattva statues. Why do you have to do this?
It is to plant good causes and blessings for himself. It is also a relationship with Buddha and Bodhisattva, establishing a very good relationship. With this fate, Buddha and Bodhisattva can help him.
For example, we take out our own money to support Jizang Bodhisattva. Jizang Bodhisattva is a great Bodhisattva with boundless blessing and magic power, and has great merits and virtue. When we give, because of this fate, we can accept the blessing of Jizang Bodhisattva. This seems to be a reaction force. What we gave was collected in a blink of an eye.
The power of cultivation and willingness
The master once said:"I want to stand up, and I want to be a master."Zhang Zai of the Northern Song Dynasty said:"Start up for heaven and earth, set up life for the people, for the sake of the saints, and open up peace for all generations."In the Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography, Sun Bao, the uncle of the State of Lu, said:"Tai is virtuous, secondly, there is merit, and secondly, there is speech. Although it is not abolished for a long time, this is called three immortals."
These are all the great wishes of ancient Chinese Confucian philosophers, which are eternal. The long history is long for thousands of years. In Danqing and paper and ink, the wishes and wisdom they once sent flow.
