Seal seal: Zong Xian. (I don't know my real name)
Master zong xian
A native of Pingyang County, Zhejiang Province, he became a monk at the age of 20. He lived in Pingxing Temple in Taimu Mountain for more than ten years, and learned the theories of law, classics and canon from Jie Quan Master.
Master Zong Xian, deputy supervisor of Pingxing Temple and dean of Law School, showed the Sangha to the delegation of Minnan Buddhist College in Tongyuantang.
Master Zong Xian first described his experience of studying in Pingxing Temple, and became attached to the Nanshan Method course with all teachers and students. Then, the master explained the contents, requirements and precautions of Xia Jie Anju in detail according to the tutorial. During this period, Master Zong Xian also explained the basic content and significance of observing precepts. The mage pointed out that men and women have different roots and troubles, so they have different commandments. We don't need to be persistent at this point.
At 7 pm, after the opening ceremony of Master Zong Xian, Jie Quan Master, the abbot of Pingxing Temple, got up and answered questions. According to the monk's questions, the mage answered questions about repentance, enchantment, study, discipline and charity. Jie Quan Master said, whether Mahayana or Hinayana, sect Buddhism or primitive Buddhism, everything is based on faith. The master stressed that no matter how hard a monk acts, how hard he studies Buddhism and how high his education is, he must establish a firm Taoist heart. Without the mind of Taoism, everything is in vain. In practicing the precepts, the mage pointed out that the key to practicing the precepts lies in forbearance, and patience can be stable, and only with determination can we practice better; At the same time, keeping precepts also requires a certain environment. In terms of charity, the mage thinks that Buddhist charity is also a kind of charity, but while doing charity, we should also pay attention to guiding our families to understand Buddhism, correctly understand Buddhism and understand the true meaning of charity.
Finally, the master wishes everyone less trouble, good luck and good luck.
At 7: 00 the next morning, all the teachers and students of the delegation took a group photo with Jie Quan Master in front of Tan Jie of Puyin. Later, Master Song Jie, director of Fujian Academy Office, and others led a delegation to bid farewell to Pingxing Temple, bid farewell to Jie Quan Master and return to Xiamen by bus.

Master Zong Xian's article "The Road to Practice is Difficult, but Simple"
Find out the problems you face and turn them around.
The road to spiritual practice is difficult, simple and simple, that is, to find out the problems and transform them. Constantly turn negative into positive, your energy will increase geometrically, and your ideological realm will continue to sublimate. Every transformation is a beautiful transformation.
In the early days of the armed revolution, our party rioted in big cities and failed one by one. Later, according to the actual situation in China, Mao Zedong successfully adopted the mode of "countryside surrounding cities" contrary to the Soviet Union. Did this incident inspire us? If your enterprise wants to succeed and make a difference, can you find a suitable model and your own development path? Doing business, just like doing revolution, is also making progress through constant exploration, so it should be adjusted at any time. Only the goal is correct, there is no correct way of action, and the donkey's lips are not right for the horse's mouth, and vice versa. How is it possible to succeed?
We should find the law of things. If you find this rule, you can make outstanding achievements in your own industry. Not only the enterprise, but also any team has many problems. If there is no problem, what should you lead? A company, managers at different levels, have different abilities, different division of labor and heavy responsibilities, but this is a process of facing problems, solving problems and putting them down. The meaning of a manager's existence is to solve various problems every day.
In fact, Mr. Ye has been telling you his ideas these days, planting his ideas in yours, and making the whole group form a joint force, so he has been explaining, explaining and explaining again, just to let you really understand his ideas thoroughly. He is bound to you and embarked on a road of pursuing material wealth. Of course, this binding is voluntary, a state, not a derogatory term.
There are thousands of ways to pursue material wealth, and many people are making various attempts. Especially in today's Internet age, we should change the original mode of thinking, keep pace with the times and keep up with the times, so as to adapt to the times, seize the opportunity and do things better and better. So is our Xianghai Temple today. Eight years ago, we used mobile phones to send short messages, but now we use WeChat, so that people in contact with us can receive a little information every day. This is a convenience in the Internet age. You can do it now. One is everything and everything is one. It is constantly extended, copied and spread. Buddhism calls this concept Indra net, just like fishing net and net rope, everything is taken away by it. In cyberspace, when you receive useful information, can you keep in touch with people around you? Maybe you face him alone, but there are more people behind him, and there are countless people behind more people.
△ "All beings have endless wishes, troubles are endless wishes, Buddhism is endless wishes, and Buddhism is supreme wishes." These are the four vows that every convert must make.
Sihong vowed to have a successful career and a full life.
Only when the material is rich can we improve our spiritual realm.
In Buddhism, every convert must make four wishes: endless wishes for all beings, endless wishes for troubles, endless wishes for learning Buddhism, and endless wishes for Buddhism and Taoism. Why do you say "Four Macros Pledge"? Because this wish is grand, broad and sacred.
It can be seen from the words "boundless and boundless" that the heart of every Buddhist disciple is so vast and almost empty that it has been connected with all sentient beings in the dharma world.
When we encounter a problem, the key is not the size of the problem, but the size of our mind. The bigger the heart, the smaller the problem. The problem is big when the heart is small. Some people suffer from a little twists and turns, and some people are still laughing and laughing in the face of death. Why? It's like your heart is a water cup. If I take a breath, it will cause ripples. If your heart is a pond, can I take a breath and still cause ripples? What if it is the sea or the sky?
In the temple, we can see a big-bellied Buddha named Maitreya. There is a couplet next to it: a big belly can accommodate things that are difficult to accommodate in the world; Laugh often and laugh at ridiculous people in the world. We just need to remember two words in this couplet: smile and tolerance. Be tolerant before you laugh, right? Those who can bear it can certainly laugh. So it makes sense for you to see why many hotels offer Maitreya instead of God of Wealth. If we want to be rich, we must first be as generous as Maitreya and always smile. No matter how big the problem is, we can tolerate, understand and smile, then you will become a god of wealth, that is, a blessed person.
Therefore, even as an ordinary person, the Buddhist "four macro vows" should be studied hard. "All beings are boundless", and our relatives, friends, neighbors, employees and compatriots are boundless. We should try our best to measure, help, support and understand them. This is called infinite desire of all beings.
"Endless troubles", that is to say, we are sitting here, but our hearts are constantly playing with delusions, insatiable greed, greed for fame and fortune, and secular desires. These are all troubles. So many troubles make our hearts restless, restless, clear and boundless, wisdom can not be opened, and potential power can not be exerted. Worry binds our body and mind tightly, and we have no freedom and no end. What do we do? Only when we get rid of the shackles can we practice and do things. Doing things is the best practice. Solve the problem of doing things yourself. Sometimes you don't know you have a problem unless you do something.
It won't be so easy for you to manage a team of ten people today. At first, there may be many contradictions, which are difficult for you to deal with and you are very tired. If you constantly improve your methods, stimulate your wisdom, sharpen your temperament, and finally get rid of them, you will be qualified for this job and improve yourself.
Many people think that Buddhism is negative, decadent and out of touch with the world. That's not true. The real Buddhism must be in life, in work, and in treating people. Buddhism is in the world and inseparable from the world. Life, work and even everything are regarded as practice. At this time, there is nothing you can't face and solve.
Think about it, why can a word from others make us fly into a rage? What we should really reflect on is actually ourselves, rather than blindly blaming others. "We are true practitioners and never look at others." When we are in pain, tangled and uncomfortable, our ideological realm is actually too narrow.
Everyone is pursuing happiness without exception, so what is happiness? The way you interpret things determines your happiness. For example, at noon today, you ate a bowl of instant noodles and felt very painful, while a beggar ate instant noodles but felt that he might be unhappy. You envy others having boots, and others envy you having feet. Having feet is not happiness for you, but great happiness for others. So if you want to be happy, you must constantly change your way of thinking.
Trouble is bodhi. The more problems there are, the more soil you can improve and grow. If your family is not harmonious, lovers abandon you, friends betray you, and customers make things difficult for you ... you regard it as good knowledge in your life and your room for improvement. If it can be transformed, the realm will be higher and the strength will be greater. Look at the lotus. The dirtier and smelly the soil, the brighter its flowers are. This is a transformation, which absorbs all the dirt and turns it into nutrition. In this way, the sludge does not stick, the fragrance is bright and clear, and the breeze is high. What a high realm!
Put this idea into your life and you will find that nothing can stop you. Therefore, regard life as a process of spiritual practice, and you will not be entangled in any problems and be calm.
There is a word in Buddhism called "One True Dharma Realm". What does this mean? That is, 3,000 worlds can be integrated into a meson, which is a tiny thing, such as a grain of dust, which can show the infinite world. Our earth is big enough. It will take you more than twenty hours to fly to America. But when you look at the earth from outer space, how big is it? Like table tennis. Seen from the Milky Way, the earth is smaller than a speck of dust. If we restore this dust before our eyes, there will be infinite life and infinite creatures, all of whom have experienced the process of living in a bad space. Just like an ant running on the table. What a vast Yuan Ye it thinks it is, just like we are in Mongolian grassland. So aren't we such a group of ants? We think ants are small enough, but there are microbes smaller than ants, which are invisible to the naked eye. What does this tell us? The great is infinite, the small is infinite, the heavy is infinite, and the infinite is heavy. Mesons are sumeru, and sumeru is also a meson.
It tells us how to know the universe, the world and the process of our existence. Open your eyes and you will understand life thoroughly and truly. Knowing this, if you become a billionaire today, you won't be frivolous, and you won't feel ashamed to grab something to eat with the dog tomorrow, because the realm is different.
An American author wrote a book called Dialogue with God, and we bought a lot and gave it away. This is a Christian book. Why did you send it? The author used to be a radio anchor, then started his own company, then suffered a car accident, failed his marriage, and finally became a beggar, fighting for food with dogs in the trash can. Then he wrote his own experience into a book. After selling it well, he donated a lot of money, and his soul and thoughts reached an unprecedented height.
The author's own vicissitudes of life is a great book and worth reading.
So if you really understand the law of the existence of all things in the world, it is very simple to understand that people live in this world. If the venture is unsuccessful and the company is not doing well, it can rent a piece of land to support itself. Is it really that difficult?
Infinite wishes for Buddhism. Practice is the method, technology and means to finish things quickly. Buddhism practices 84,000 Dharmas because different people have different opportunities.
Everyone has time to read the Art of War. Don't think that leading troops to war has nothing to do with doing business. Actually, it's all the same Shopping malls are like battlefields, so is life. Learning even if we don't do business can increase our wisdom. I once recommended a book called "Su Shu", what is Su Shu, the learning of Emperor Bole. The learning of Emperor Bole is to implant the law of the existence of all things in the world into the learning of governing the country, and then your empire will become strong, prosperous and long-lasting. When we do things, have you ever thought about implanting this law of heaven and earth into my career? If you can do it, then your career can be long-term, including our physical health, inner happiness and family business. In fact, everything has its own side, mainly because your ideas are not consistent with it.
We looked at the cherry blossoms outside the window. When the season comes, they all bloom and the leaves suddenly turn green. Where do the flowers and leaves come from in spring? Avoid hiding in winter. By the same token, if you want to listen to the class well during the day, you should have a good rest at night. If you can't sleep well at night, where can you get energy during the day? There is sweet-scented osmanthus, which smells delicious. Flowers only bloom once a season, so they are very prosperous. But there is a sweet-scented osmanthus that blooms every season. Basically, there are not many flowers this season, and the flowers are not very fragrant. This is also the case.
△ Because of the concealment of winter, spring has come, and we have green leaves and flowers.
Nature is the best teacher of mankind, and the greatest wisdom of mankind is nature. People who think about transforming nature every day are finally transformed by nature.
Last but not least, the Buddha and Taoism have made a supreme oath. That is, each of us should have our own ideals, goals and achievement directions. The so-called Buddhism and Taoism refers to the realm of "perfect ideal" in each of us. Everyone has a different way of life and understanding, so the perfect result is different.
In fact, each of us has a Buddha in our heart, which is our original "Buddha nature". We constantly practice and revise ourselves, but this is only a process of restoring our Buddha nature. Perfection means that we have never lost it.
Buddhism is the ultimate wisdom of this world. If we inject this wisdom into our lives, we will really benefit from it.
May we pursue material prosperity and spiritual prosperity at the same time, and the two can go hand in hand, complement each other and enhance our life realm.
