Becoming a Buddha is very simple, that is, doing evil and pursuing all good; Because of abstinence, you will be firm, and because of abstinence, you will be wise.
Practice is to correct evil deeds, correct your own mistakes and improve yourself.
To practice hard, we must do all kinds of evil and pursue all kinds of good; Because of abstinence, you will be firm, and because of abstinence, you will be wise.
Monks have many commandments, so let's not talk about them for the time being.
In family practice, the five precepts are the five precepts or codes of conduct. 、

What are the five precepts in Buddhism?
No killing, no stealing, no lewdness, no lying, no drinking.
You can have some wine at home to socialize.
These five precepts are the basic precepts of the four disciples of Buddhism, and they must be observed whether they are monks or at home.

What are the five precepts of Taoism?
The Five Commandments of Taoism, namely, the Five Commandments of Laojun and the Commandments of Laojun;
First, stop killing, second, stop stealing, third, stop prostitution, and fifth, stop drinking.

Although Confucianism has no strict explanation, it is actually the above five precepts.
In the Shurangama Sutra, it is said that taking the heart means abstinence. Because of abstinence, life is decided. Wise by making decisions. If there is, it's called "three don't let go" Abstinence from wisdom is the principle and the direction for us to learn Buddhism.
Zhuge Changqing believes that "all evils must be avoided, all good deeds must be done, life must be set by precepts, and wisdom must be set" is a shortcut to learning Buddhism. If you learn Buddhism badly, you should think about the words 16.
Controlling your heart, not doing evil, and pursuing good deeds are the commandments. From the completion of the precepts, one will be born with meditation, and from meditation, one will produce wisdom.
It was our last words to our disciples when Sakyamuni was in nirvana. Taking precepts as teachers highlights the essence of Buddhism. The law of commandments was inspired by Buddha Sakyamuni, a great man. This is the model of casting three buddhas and the mud print that makes everything come true.

How to learn Buddhism?
To learn Buddhism is to learn-not to kill, not to steal, not to commit adultery, not to talk nonsense, not to be tongue-tied, not to swear, not to talk nonsense, not to steal, not to be angry, not to be arrogant, not to be jealous, not to be Jaken.
Zhuge Changqing: The essence of learning Buddhism is to "avoid all evil, pursue all good, observe precepts and avoid wisdom". Persistence is bound to make a leap. Why do many people practice hard and slowly? Think deeply.
This standard is not only measured by ourselves but also by others. It's easy for others to know whether we learn Buddhism or not. He may not know this standard, but he knows what has happened to you.
If a' teacher' tells you that you don't have to learn any commandments to become a Buddha, you don't have to do good deeds, you can do evil, so you must distinguish clearly. Stay away from such people. Stay away from such bad friends.
If we don't take the heart as a warning, we can't be sure, we can't be smart, and being smart is the easiest way to get into trouble. It is said in Heritage Classics that the fear of the heart is more than poisonous snakes, evil beasts, thieves and fire, which is not enough. For example, someone, with a honey picker in his hand, moves lightly and recklessly, but he looks at the honey picker and can't see the deep pit. For example, mad elephants have no hooks, and apes have trees, which is difficult to ban. When you are in a hurry, you can put them out of order. Those who indulge in this heart will lose the good deeds of others. One place, doing nothing. That is to say: our hearts are terrible, even poisonous snakes and beasts, strong bandits and strong enemies, fire and water disasters are not as terrible as them. Just like someone playing with a honey pot in his hand, he didn't see a deep pit on the road; Just as the crazy elephant lost its bondage, the agile ape entered the forest and couldn't stop prancing around.
Be sure to control your heart in time and don't let it go. Indulge our hearts, it will ruin people's good deeds. If you can control your mind, there is nothing you can't do.

What is the effect of our study of Buddhism?
Zhuge Changqing believes that the effect of learning Buddhism is that the mind is pure, the troubles are few, the wisdom is open, and the blessings are great. This can verify your achievements in learning Buddhism. If the more you learn Buddhism, the more upset you are, and the more confused you are, then your study of Buddhism will go astray.
In fact, it is here. Can we have a heart and not lose our good deeds? Without this foundation, we can't have any positive views, even if we can understand Buddhist classics, it is only superficial. It doesn't work in real life, and I don't feel the real benefits of learning Buddhism. This is why we modern people learn Buddhism, read a lot of classics, and the masters worship a lot and know a lot of truth. Years and decades have passed, and we are still not sure and have no bottom. Learning Buddhism does not follow the principle of being born by precepts and being wise by decisions. Always want to be quick and take shortcuts. As a result, there were too many shortcuts, but instead they stood still.

Keeping precepts is the basis of promoting spiritual practice.
Xuanhua people once explained discipline separately.
Today, Zhuge Changqing shared Master Xuanhua's explanation with a predestined relationship:
Master Xuanhua said:
If everyone really does it, we can turn the last law into a real law; If Buddhists are not serious and do not practice Buddhism in a down-to-earth manner, then Buddhism will also become the ultimate Buddhism.
Why? Because the right person is right, and the wrong person is wrong. People are biased, that is, people don't follow the right path, don't obey the precepts, and try their best to find loopholes in the precepts, just like the law maintains social stability, but some people specialize in finding loopholes in the law and violate the law, so that the law does not exist and the world is badly affected.
As a Buddhist, if you don't work hard and sacrifice for Buddhism, how can Buddhism flourish?
If you want Buddhism to flourish, don't learn magic, magical powers, tantra, all kinds of strange things, ghosts, symbols and so on. The most important thing is to learn the commandments left by the Buddha.
If we can practice according to teaching, we are living in the world according to Buddhism; If everyone doesn't follow the Buddha's commandments, that's the last resort.
Everything is created by idealism, and the law lies in people's hearts. Why do people go to the end of France? Because many people break the commandments, few people follow them, many people know them, and few people understand them. Therefore, people are in a daze. You said he understood, but he didn't fully understand. You said he didn't understand, but he knew a little.

What are the commandments?
Master Xuan Hua: stop evil and prevent mistakes, not for all evil; In other words, all evil is not done, all good is pursued, and all good is done without doing all evil.
The five precepts mentioned by Buddha are very important, which everyone understands and has a close relationship with each of us. If you obey the rules and don't let go, it is to increase your wisdom in yourself.
If you keep the precepts, you will be born, and you will have wisdom all your life; Without discipline, there is no determination, and without determination, there is no wisdom.
Keeping precepts is like a sunny day. There are no clouds in Wan Li. If you don't keep the precepts, such as killing, stealing, prostitution, lying, drinking and running amok, dark clouds will emerge in the clear sky. When dark clouds appear in your life and cover the sun, you can't see the light. Not seeing light is darkness, and darkness is ignorance. Even lost people, went to the pig's belly as a pig, went to the cow's belly as a cow, and went to the horse's belly as a horse. These are the scientific achievements and experimental results in the human self-chemistry factory.
Keeping precepts means purifying yourself and sweeping away your darkness; If people don't keep the precepts, the clouds are boundless. If people don't keep the precepts, there will be many dark clouds a day.
If people don't keep the precepts, there will be dark clouds of pollution in their nature.
If you don't obey the precepts, it's not that others get hurt, but that you get hurt yourself, so you must strictly observe the precepts. If you can keep the precepts, it is the Dharma; if you can't, it is the last method.
