Excerpts from classic Buddhist sayings

In the future, many bhikkhus will be greedy and make offerings, causing the Dharma to be destroyed. If there are monks who uphold the precepts, the Dharma will last for a long time. "Bhikkhu Kadam Speaks of the Dang Lai Bian Sutra" The following are 55 Buddhist quotations that I have compiled for you. They are for reference only. Let's take a look together.

1. As the saying goes, no one talks in front of anyone, and no one talks behind his back. Life is like a black humor. If you say a few words to others in front of others, you may not expect that there is a group of people behind you saying something about you, including those who have said something about others together. If you are really smart, then shut your mouth first.

2. If you understand, the rising and setting of the sun is also a kind of staying together, and the blooming and fading of flowers is also a kind of affection...

3. No matter what era, the reason why energy can bring Miracles mainly originate from a vitality, and the core element of vitality is will. No matter where it is, vitality is the driving force of the so-called "personality power" and the force that allows all great actions to continue.

4. Through those stories in life, you can experience your inner impetuosity and become a kind of calm. All the pain is not a lifetime, this fleeting time is just passing by. There is no need to worry about how many difficulties there are still. Learn to be innerly stable, read carefully when reading, and drink tea well when drinking tea.

5. To know and see all dharmas without contaminating the mind is to have no thoughts.

6. [Tiantian Zen] Personality sublimation requires adult beauty and tolerance.

7. Believing something that is not true is superstitious; following what others say is ignorance.

8. If you have love in your heart, you must also have love in your actions.

9. Some people stare at you, some are jealous of you, and some criticize you, which means you still have value. The higher the other party's level, the greater your value.

10. The normal mind mentioned in Zen Buddhism is the original state of the complete mind that transcends all dualistic oppositions and has no divisions.

11. Some people regard ringing the bell as just a common practice. The bell is a bell and I am me. If you ring the bell in this way, the bell will have no vitality. Wuyou, on the other hand, regards the bell as the Buddha and his own heart. The bell and I are one and the same, and the sound of the bell is the natural expression of his own heart. If you ring the bell in this way, the sound of the bell will also have life.

12. See the name and realize it, hear and understand the name and believe it. If you believe it, it is not true. If you understand it, you will send a letter to thank you. Mathematics is natural, if you are familiar with it, it will start from zero. (Eastern Jin Dynasty) Zhu Daosheng's "Notes on the Vimalakirti Sutra"

13. Life lasts only once, so why bother to accumulate troubles? How to cultivate a correct concept of money? The Buddha said: When you are born, you come without a penny, and when you die, you leave without a penny. The body of suffering is accumulated and worries about it. It is of no use to others anymore. There is no good thing to rely on and no gain to give away. As a result, one will eventually fall into all kinds of evil. road. 1. "Buddha Speaks of the Names of the Buddha, Volume 12"

14. If a person does evil before, he will not do it later. This will shine on the world and disappear like the moon and clouds.

15. When many people eat meat, they only appreciate the delicious food on the table and just want to satisfy their appetites. They never realize that in the process of killing life, they suffer The incomparable fear and unbearable pain never occurred to me that I needed to repay the terrible consequences of killing. Even if we don’t believe that sentient beings have ever been our parents, and we don’t know that all sentient beings possess Buddha nature, we shouldn’t harm innocent lives so easily just for our own appetites!

16. A broad mind is kindness, and pure thoughts are beauty.

17. As long as you have faith, there is nothing wrong with you; as long as you are patient, there is no task that you cannot bear.

18. In addition, only by lowering one's own attitude can one learn knowledge and wisdom from others.

19. [Tiantian Zen] Once I went for a walk on the beach. When I look at the sky, the sky seems to tell me that my heart is as broad as the sky; when I look at the sun, the sun seems to tell me that my heart is as bright as the sun; when I look at the sea, the sea seems to tell me that my heart is as bright as the sun. The sea is as calm as the sea; when I look at the beach, the beach seems to tell me that my heart is as relaxed as the sand; when I feel the breeze, the breeze seems to tell me that my heart is as comfortable as the breeze.

20. Only by using your heart can you understand your heart and see your nature.

21. Propagating the Dharma can certainly benefit all living beings, but it can also harm all living beings. Those who benefit are those who are truly determined to seek liberation and live and die, while those who are harmed are fame, wealth and knowledge of all sentient beings.

22. In life, we must "go with the flow" rather than "climb", do not force anything, do our best, and obey fate. You can do whatever you can with your own abilities, regardless of gains and losses or other people's opinions. Good fortune and misfortune have come, everything depends on fate. Life and death are impermanent, wealth and poverty are impermanent, the sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and fortune. What is fully understood is nothing but emptiness.

23. In the morning bells and evening drums, the first snow falls and the first snow melts. Everything in the world probably comes from nothing, from something to nothing. I said: I want to forget. [Buddha said]: Forgetting does not mean that it has never existed. All freedom comes from choice, not deliberateness. It is better to let go. The more you let go, the more you will feel.

24. The Zen method of life lies in observation and tolerance, joy and peace. Zen is the freedom of life, Zen is the free and easy life, Zen is the freedom of the heart, from the heart to the active application of life, the open-minded and comfortable lifestyle is a positive and new interpretation of life.

25. Because our wonderful nature is natural and does not belong to enlightenment, how can we be confused? Nowadays, when we say it is delusion, it is just that we cannot realize that our own mind has nothing at all. It does not reach the original emptiness of the physical and mental world, and is blocked by it, so it is said to be delusion.

26. When time is used and there are results, it is "enough"; when a lot of time is used but nothing is gained, it is "not enough".

27. The same goes for literati, poets, and artists. They persevere wherever they are inspired, and over time, they are like a woman who has finished her pregnancy in ten months, even if she doesn't want to give birth.

28. When we are happy, the reason for happiness is not because we have more, but because we have fewer worries and attachments; when we are miserable, the reason for pain is not because we lack something. Nothing, but added some selfishness and desire.

29. Since the six roots of our ordinary beings are not positive, everything we see, hear, and know is not the absolute truth. If the six faculties of ordinary people are positive and everything we see, hear and know is the truth, then for whom does the holy path of the Buddha play any role?

30. Society needs criticism as well as encouragement. Criticism is to make society progress, and social progress also needs encouragement. Society is made up of people. If you always criticize a person, it is easy for that person to break down. If you criticize and encourage at the same time, the person will be more receptive to criticism, and encouragement will stimulate self-consciousness, which is conducive to his mental health. A person with a sound mind cannot be bad no matter how bad he is.

31. The main goal of spiritual practice is selflessness. If you can shrink yourself, expand your mind, tolerate everything, and respect others, others will definitely respect you and accept you.

32. When a thought of anger arises, millions of blocked doors open. Chanting the name of the Buddha is meditation, and there are no two methods. That is, when reciting the Buddha's name, you must first let go of all worries, delusions, greed, anger, and foolish love, and all kinds of messy thoughts in your mind. Put it in a place where there is no place to put it, and just mention Amitabha, and it will be clear to you.

33. To repay your parents’ kindness is to use your talents and contribute to others, which is great filial piety.

34. In my previous life, I was the woman standing in the wind by the Han River. I was lightly waving my pen and ink amid the swaying of the green coriander trees, chanting to the fragrance, and quietly writing a Zen heart as clear as water.

35. When we meet a good teacher, we must observe carefully and never rely blindly. All kinds of people may appear. Among "good teachers" there may be true and false, some virtuous and some ungrateful; some beneficial to others and some self-interested; some who save sentient beings and some who deceive them. In order to be responsible to both master and disciple, we must carefully choose good teachers.

36. The only way for all living beings in this world to complete the purification of their souls and to consciously protect the environment in which we live is to follow.

37. Drink a cup of tea and meditate. Reading a poem makes the world roll. Asked the Buddha, the Buddha said: "It cannot be said, it cannot be said." Those who know tea will not feel quiet in the mountains, so why bother in a busy city. The taste of Zen tea, careful and soft words, are all in the bottom of my heart, so fragrant, so light, so calm... Zen tea tastes, poetic life, flowers bloom in the heart, and the years are quiet.

38. "Green hills never grow old and green waters flow forever." Behind faith are green hills, a rock, loyalty to life, and hope for life. Life is inseparable from faith. No matter what you believe in, faith is the backing of your strong life, a sharp ax that can open up the world. When a person has faith, he will have goals, hope, and a wonderful life.

39. Don’t let the hidden reefs of selfishness, narrow-mindedness, jealousy, and hatred block our progress. Don’t let the gains and losses stir up the waves in our hearts. Don’t let the success or failure lose the direction of the voyage. All the grievances and grievances are allowed to drift quietly. If there is an undercurrent, it will only be the undercurrent of the heart; if there are waves, it will only be the waves of gratitude that stir up the waves; if there are waves, it will be the waves of happy songs.

40. However, Bodhisattvas and sentient beings in the last days will not have any delusional thoughts at all times, nor will they cease to have delusional thoughts. They will live in the state of delusional thoughts without understanding, without understanding, and will not discern the truth. When all sentient beings hear this Dharma, believe, understand, accept and uphold it, they will not be frightened. This is called the nature of compliance and enlightenment.

41. If the world really exists, it is a combination.

42. Because we were already exhausted when we were on the big ship. So, we had no choice but to obey the wind and waves.

43. Science only has wisdom but no compassion. Buddhism has both wisdom and compassion.

44. There are many opportunities for practice in life. It depends on whether we can make good use of them and seize every opportunity.

45. Ask the Buddha: Why is there so much suffering in the world? Buddha said: Just because you don’t know yourself. Ask Buddha: How can I be as wise as you? Buddha said: Buddha is a past person, and people are future Buddhas. I was once as innocent as you. Ask Buddha: Why is it a night that I don’t care about every time it snows? Buddha said: People always miss a lot of real beauty inadvertently. Ask the Buddha: Will it snow in a few days? Buddha said: Don't just focus on this season. If you miss this winter, you will know how to cherish it next year.

46. It is difficult to control the human heart, and often forget one's thoughts. If one thought is not firm, there will be thousands of joys and sorrows.

47. No matter how you explain it, faith (belief) as understood by most religions has little to do with Buddhism.

48. The Buddha said that there is no secret method in his teachings.

49. If you are moved by desire, you will become comatose if you are confused by desire. If you let your anger go unchecked, you will become violent.

50. The world is not real, we live in each other’s hearts.

51. The way of business is the way of humanity, and the way of humanity is the way of business. Wealth is as flat as water, and people are as straight as balance. You need to be vigilant in times of prosperity and calm in times of adversity.

52. If you don’t worry about yourself, others will never worry about you. Because of your own heart, you can’t let go.

53. Dr. Lu Gen asked Zen Master Nanquan: I have a piece of stone at home, and I want to engrave a Buddha image on it when I sit or lie down. Is it okay? The Zen master replied: Yes. A piece of stone is a Buddha, and a Buddha is a piece of stone. It is nothing more than a piece of mind.

54. The Zen master put a black dot on a white board and asked his disciple: What is this? The disciples said in unison: a black spot. The Zen Master smiled: Is there only one black spot? Have you never seen such a big whiteboard?

55. If I die, no one will know about me, and the world will remain as noisy as ever.
