Casual Buddhist Daily Life

Many people think about reincarnation and think that after "I" dies, "I" will be reincarnated, and "I" will do whatever I want. This impression belongs to the folk impression. From a religious perspective, Buddhism does not recognize the existence of the ever-present subject "I". Taoism does not believe that there is such a "I". Let's talk about whether there is reincarnation. It is believed that there is, as mentioned at the beginning, there is an "I" who has gone through reincarnation. With "I" as the main body, it is said that there is reincarnation. Buddhism says this is wrong. It is said that there is no reincarnation, and death is like a lamp going out. Buddhism says this is wrong. The following content is from Chapter 7 of "Buddhist Life and Death": The Dharma of Dependent Origination and the Taoist View of the Cycle of Life and Death. The Buddha listed the question of existence or non-existence after death as one of the "Fourteen Wuji" (fourteen meaningless metaphysical questions that should not be answered) that should not be answered. This means that the formulation of this question itself is wrong, and it is even more wrong to answer it in the affirmative or negative. If we want to truthfully describe the phenomena of life and existence after death, we can only use the method of denying the one-sided view of the two poles and express it as: neither absolute nor extreme, neither existence nor non-existence. Non-interruption or non-nothing means that life is a continuous process of life and death, life and death, and cause and effect. When you think like this, it is also the same before and after life. After a person dies, it does not disappear forever, and everything is nothing. Instead, it will continue to produce inevitable consequences according to the causes of its actions during life. There must be a new continuation of the birth and death of body and mind. We can use the secular concept "kana" to refer to the afterlife, and then the afterlife cannot be said to be the "existence" of real existence in the philosophical sense (an entity that does not depend on any conditions, does not exist and does not exist), so it is said to be non-existence. As long as the cause of the formation of new life is not cut off through cultivation, this continuous process of life and death will never be interrupted abruptly. Of course, everything in this life must also have its causes in previous lives, and it cannot be created out of nothing. Buddhism's correct view on reincarnation can be summarized in the phrase "karma and results are neither empty nor self-existent" (Tsongkhapa), which means that although the reincarnation of life and death and the karma and results continue, there is no real self in the reincarnation; although there is no real self in reincarnation, the karma and results continue without interruption. Volume 5, Chapter 101 of the "Za Agama Sutra" records: The heretic nuns asked the Buddha about the fact that the six ascetics did not say where their disciples would go after death, but the Buddha affirmed where his disciples would go. The Buddha said: If you see that the real self in the present world is me (real self), and you don't know what will happen after death, that is a cut-off view; if you see that the real self is true in both the present world and after death, it is common; these are all extreme and one-sided "side views." If you don't see the real me in this life, and you don't see the real me after death, this is the correct view of Buddhism. If among the disciples of the Buddha there is one who has not completely eliminated his ego, and whose five aggregates continue to exist after death, the Buddha will declare that this disciple will be destined to die somewhere for the rest of his life. If a Buddhist disciple cuts off the root of life and death - ego, then "the body will be destroyed and life will end, let alone continuity." The Buddha does not say where he was born. "The Inquiry Sutra of King Milinda of the Southern Tradition", in response to the question of whether being reincarnated as another person after death is the same as before life, Bhikkhu said: "It is neither the same nor different", just like a baby growing up from childhood to old age and death, like a lamp burning from the first night to midnight, like milk turning into cheese, cheese into crisp, and crisp into glutinous rice. From the spirit to old age, the spiritual interest is born after death, and it is not the old spirit, nor is it separated from the old spirit. " Regarding the fate of people after death, the "Mahayana Sutra" contains a passage spoken by the Buddha to the King of Magadha. The description is quite concise: when the former consciousness is extinguished, when the latter consciousness is born, it may be reborn in a human being, or in heaven, or it may fall into a nearby rebirth, a hungry ghost, or hell. Your Majesty: Later consciousness arises without interruption, and the similar thoughts continue to circulate, and they clearly receive the strange and familiar feelings. Your Majesty: There has never been a way to transfer from this life to the next, but there are karmic consequences of death and rebirth that can be obtained. Your Majesty: When the former consciousness dies, it is called death; when the latter consciousness arises, it is called life. Your Majesty: When the former consciousness disappears, it has nowhere to go, and when the latter consciousness arises, it has nowhere to go. So what? The nature is empty. The general idea is: when a person is about to die, after the last thought of consciousness is extinguished, the next thought of consciousness will be reborn, just like the previous thought of death has been extinguished and the next thought is reborn, without any pause in between. When the consciousness after death continues to be reborn, it will receive the mature consequences of the causes of its actions in life, and will be born in the five realms of heaven, man, ghost, animal, and prison. Although nothing is moved intact from this life to the next life, and the life of the next life is not the life of this life, there is a close connection between this life and the next life. Things that have been extinguished in the past are called death, and things that have been renamed in the future are called life. This continuous reincarnation process of life and death is inherently empty, and there is no fixed self or soul that actually experiences life and death. Why? Just try to observe the birth and death of the current thought. When the previous thought disappears, you cannot find its destination. When the subsequent thought continues, you cannot find its origin. The same is true for the previous and subsequent thoughts between life and death. From here, you should realize the nature of emptiness. The above is an excerpt. If you are interested in understanding what Buddhism is, you can read it. It is an entry-level book. Don't listen to some marketing accounts for that nonsense.

Is the protagonist practicing in the Shravakayana, Pratyekabuddha, or Bodhisattvayana?

In the chapter, people are encouraged to be virtuous, and I just want to laugh. To persuade people to be virtuous, you first need money to redeem yourself, and secondly, you want the madam to release the person. In ancient times, there were people who would always be in the check box, but the protagonist stood at the door and said a few words and wanted others to be virtuous. He only used words and did not do anything. It's extremely disgusting. It's more than one chapter. These few pictures made me lose the desire to read any more. It's good to lead people to be kind, but knowing that it's impossible and having no ability to change it, yet you continue to do it. That's very unappetizing.

The book started six months after I did, but it ended before me, with more words than me. I... This is such a contrast, the damage is so strong. 😭

The writing is quite nice. Although you will definitely get some criticism if you write a novel about Buddhist cultivation, I personally really like it. The ideas and ideas are very good, but there is a slight problem with the plot. Overall very good

Let me tell you something: What kind of law are you asking for? What kind of Buddhism do you study? The Buddha seeks the wisdom of cessation, but you seek the eternal existence of a golden body. The Buddha wishes for the wisdom of supreme enlightenment and true Dharma, but what kind of Amitabha do you recite, what kind of Tathagata do you believe in, and Sakyamuni is just a practitioner, so what kind of Buddha is he? What the hell are you reading?

It becomes increasingly difficult to understand, with too many light and dark lines crossing.

I'm so dizzy (=_=), I can't understand anything about Buddhism, the comment section is full of great people, discussing all kinds of Buddhism, farewell

If the system doesn't give you any benefits, why do you need the system?

Boss, you are so awesome. I haven't read it for a few days and there are already 31 chapters. I just updated one chapter next door.

I have read more than twenty chapters, and to be honest the author's writing is okay but the writing style is not pleasing I hope the author can change things when he opens a new book.

Very interesting story It is quite interesting to conduct some popular science on the three views of Buddhism. Just read the second volume. I don't really like the protagonist's behavior in front of his parents. Don't you understand that the protagonist must behave so harshly in front of his parents when he studies Buddhism? If not, can't you show your determination to learn Buddhism? I think there is any difference between many of these actions and the so-called sermon of killing one's wife. They all hurt things or people they care about (voting certificates) to prove their determination.

This is the finale 🤔

Are there any similar novels that emphasize Buddhism and neglect magical powers?

I didn't understand the ending. Did he just let Bo Xun swallow him and become a Buddha and then wipe out all the demons?

Come on, ten thousand a day? So strong. After reading the author's book and then reading mine, I suddenly didn't want to write anymore. 🙂

Is it the sequel to Journey to the West? There is a little shadow 😰

Dizzy, it's unfinished 😰 I've raised it to death

This system is so annoying. It forces the protagonist to develop into Buddhism step by step without any freedom.

It's all booked, and I'll give you a monthly pass. Come on, author💪

The ending is really awesome. How did I discover such a treasure novel! ! !

Is this the end? 😰How long has it been since you last watched it?
