Make me a Buddha, be a universal being, cultivate bodhicitta, practice all kinds of merits, and make a wish to give birth to our country. At the end of my life, I will make a false order not to be surrounded by the public, and I will not accept enlightenment.
This wish is: If when I become a Buddha, all sentient beings in the 10th generation initiate the bodhicitta of seeking Buddha's way to lower all sentient beings, and practice bodhisattva's six degrees of merit, and really wish to be born in the western paradise, which is an opportunity for pedestrians to feel, then Amitabha will surround the Buddha with Guanyin, Shi Zhi and other bodhisattvas on his deathbed, leading him to the next life. If this idea can't come true, it won't become a Buddha. This wish also reflects Amitabha's great compassion.
Because of our karma, at the end of our lives, God's knowledge leaves the body, which is like the pain of peeling a turtle's shell. At this time, Amitabha shines on the pedestrians who read Buddha. Buddhists feel comfortable in the light of Buddha's light. If they meditate, their hearts will not reverse. Avalokitesvara and Avalokitesvara hold lotus flowers to introduce the sacred knowledge of the Buddha. In a blink of an eye, I arrived at Ba Ding Shui, the Seven Treasures Pool of Elysium, and the lotus was reborn.
Someone asked, "I have always accepted quotations from diligent practitioners, saying that when all Buddhist practitioners are dying, Amitabha will come to accept quotations." Is amitabha busy? " ? This is an incredible way to guess the pure land from the knowledge of ordinary people. As everyone knows, the dharma of chanting Buddha is incredible. There are countless Amitabha Buddhas who come to pick up the Buddha. This is a phenomenon caused by the combination of karma. The heart of all beings who can recite Buddha is reason. Amitabha's last wish was to increase the upper edge. The karma just happened to be coupled, so the situation that Amitabha and the saints came to receive the Buddha naturally appeared on Farr.
For example, the water is clear and the moon appears, and the moon hangs in the void forever. As long as the water on the ground is clear, the shadow of the moon naturally appears. If the water doesn't come up, the moon will not come down, but the moon in the water is vivid. Therefore, it was introduced by the Buddha on his deathbed. It's either empty or empty. Such as the moon in the water, dreams and karma, which is very wonderful.
Similarly, we can recite Buddha's heart like this water, and Amitabha's great wish is like the moon, both of which are indispensable. If there is water but there is no moon in the sky, there will be no moon shadow in the clear water. Even without Amitabha's great wish, no matter how clean our thoughts are, there will be no clean environment for Amitabha to die.
In the same way, if there is Amitabha's dying wish, but we don't recite it, just like the ground is dry or the water is muddy and the moon can't show, there is no reason for Amitabha's dying wish.
Therefore, if you can read the Buddha's heart and the great wish of Amitabha, you will see the appearance of the three saints in the west, and even the sky is full of joy and the house is full of strange incense. Therefore, when Buddhist practitioners are dying, they have seen Buddha, light and China since ancient times, which can be proved by many cases in the past.
Master Hui Yuan, the ancestor of Jing Zong, founded the White Lotus Sect in Tolin Temple, practiced Samadhi and saw Amitabha Buddha three times. Liu Yimin, a layman, studied Buddhism for half a year and saw Amitabha. At that time, in order to get the real verification, he thought: If it is really Amitabha, may the Buddha touch my head with his hand, so Amitabha stretched out his golden arm to touch his head; Then Liu's adherents had another idea. If it is really Amitabha, may the Buddha cover me with cassock, and Amitabha cover me with cassock. This whimsy immediately convinced Liu's adherents that their belief in chanting Buddha for survival and safety was firm.
At the end of his life, it was predicted that at that time, Liu's followers would first burn incense and worship our teacher Sakyamuni Buddha. Without the mercy of Sakyamuni Buddha, we would never know. Secondly, Amitabha is supposed to burn incense to celebrate his birthday.
Seeing all kinds of difficulties and obstacles on his deathbed is Amitabha's preset protection. Just as a loving mother cares for a child, when the child is about to slip and fall, the loving mother immediately reaches out to protect it. When all beings are led by karma into three evil ways, Amitabha is willing to take light as her career, Guanyin Bodhisattva takes dew as her net, and Bodhisattva saves the scene with golden lotus instead of turning to three realms and six ways. She is absorbed by her own holy knowledge.
Now, the bronze statue of the three sages of the West that we cast in Tolin Temple is the expression of this desire: "May Amitabha greet me from a distance when I am dying, and Guanyin dew will be sprinkled on my head, so that I can get the support of the golden platform." "The concern and compassion of the Three Sages in the West demand that all sentient beings be placed on the absolutely stable lotus platform, so that all sentient beings can be born in the absolutely stable Seven Treasures Pool of the Western Elysium.
The weeds, compassion and meticulous care of Buddhism and Bodhisattva are expressed in sculpture language, which shocks the souls of all beings and arouses their yearning and admiration. You know, the biggest thing in life is life and death. Only when you reach death can you understand life. Life and death is death or life, also known as "poor literary achievement." The moment when the karma of this world disappears (bad), it is the time when the pure land of western bliss is born (Wen Cheng).
Therefore, Buddhists are alive, not dead as we generally think, because Buddhists go directly to the pure land of peace and stability without going through the vagina. He is still alive, sitting on the lotus platform. This lotus flower is the palace of a mysterious god who has been consecrated. If you sneak into the bardo, it will be dangerous. When the wind blows, you will not be the master. So Amitabha uses lotus flowers to attract pedestrians' gods. As soon as the gods entered the Lotus Terrace, they entered the safe and decided to be reincarnated in the lotus pond in the pure land of western bliss.
This dying wish is not only at the end of life, but also at any time. Because the life and death of thoughts is life and death, every thought of us has a deathbed introduction of Amitabha. Therefore, as the saying goes, thinking about life is thinking about life. This shows how cordial and important this wish is to us. The construction of the bronze statue of the three sages of the West in Lin Dong's ancestral hall, which has lived for thousands of years and has endless benefits, is also a great event for Jambu-Di^pa.
