On August 1, the thirty-sixth year of the Republic of China (1947), he gave a sermon to return to the ordination at the Ping'an Theater in Macau

Disciple Kuanrong translated the words and recorded them

Today, Mongolia Buddhist colleagues are invited. I will sit in the Peace Theater and speak to all benevolent people.

?The "law". That is, the hearts of all living beings. The mind of all sentient beings and the mind of Buddha are essentially the same. It is the mind that possesses all dharmas. The Dharma is the mind. The mind is the law. As the Theory of Awakening of Faith says, "The Dharma mentioned is the mind of all sentient beings. It contains all the Dharmas in the world and beyond." The so-called "Worldly Dharma".

? That is heaven. people. Shura. brute. Hungry ghost. hell. Everything is sentimental and ruthless. According to the law of positive cause and effect. Also known as the Six Ordinary Dharma Realm. "Supermundane Dharma". That is, sravaka. Pratye Awareness. Buddha. This is true of Buddhism. Also known as the Four Holy Dharma Realms. This is the Four Saints and the Six Mortals. Together they are called the Ten Dharma Realms. These ten dharma realms. It is not caused by one intention. If you follow the fate of confusion and contamination. Then there are six ordinary dharma realms. If you don't overturn the fate of enlightenment. Then there are four holy dharma realms.

? Look at it from this perspective. The holy and the mortal. Only when the dirt of the mind is purified appears. Six ordinary hearts are dirty. Then the six paths of good, evil, sin, happiness, etc. will appear. The Four Sacred Hearts are pure. Then the mighty virtue will appear freely and brightly. Kind and virtuous. So the scripture says. "The Bodhisattva has a cool moon. He always swims in the ultimate void. The hearts of all living beings are pure. The shadow of Bodhi appears." Therefore, happiness and suffering come from the heart. Yanliang self. Work from your own heart. Reward oneself. Only the holy and the ordinary. But just ask yourself.

? Everyone is stupid and dim. The purpose of self-creation has not been fulfilled. Arouse doubts. In case of adversity. Then blame others. In good times. Then he is arrogant and self-reliant. Maybe you do good deeds throughout your life and get bad rewards. Do evil and be rewarded with good. Then slander has no cause and effect. I don't know the cause and effect is subtle. Like sowing fruit. Ripen first, take off first. Even if I do good deeds in this life. Those who seek evil retribution. All are due to past bad karma. Although this life is good. And the bad deeds of the past have matured. You have to suffer the consequences first. Because the good deeds in this life have not been completed yet. Do not receive good rewards now. Those who believe this. There will be no doubt.

? However, there is no beginning and the obstacle is deep. Lost for a long time. Much bitterness. There is no escape from suffering. As it should be. The Shurangama Sutra says. "All sentient beings. Life and death are continuous. They are all caused by not knowing the eternal true mind. Pure and luminous nature. This thought is not true. Therefore, there is reincarnation." The husband wants not to be reincarnated. Be free from all delusions. Delusions are pure. Then reincarnation will cease. Therefore, the deluded mind is called a sentient being. The awakened mind is called Buddhas. Buddha and all living beings. Just a moment of confusion and a moment of enlightenment.

? You should know this spiritually aware heart. That is the natural Buddha nature. Everyone is unique. All ready-made. Even ordinary people possess Buddha nature. Like real gold in a mine. Contained by the sand and stones of trouble. Therefore, it is of little use. The Tathagata practices for many kalpas. The sand and stones that cause confusion have been removed. Like gold from a mine. Its gold is pure. Not heavy with sand and gravel. Da Yong Quan Zhang. Therefore, it is called Yuanming with obstacles. The Great Enlightened World Honored One.

Now we want to become Buddhas. First, we should examine the cause and place of our intention. Get rid of the root of worries. Worries and suffering are eliminated. Buddha nature is perfect. If the ground practice is not true. The result will be evil and external music. If we talk about the method of practice. There are differences between upper, middle and lower machines. The Dharma also has three different Dharma doors for humans and heaven. If you are on board. It is about explaining the subtle Dharma of Mahayana. For the lucky ones. To tell the secret of liberation. For those who disembark. It is about liberating the three sufferings of hell, hungry ghosts, and animals.

? Although the Buddha taught various methods. Regardless of the size of the vehicle. All are based on the Three Refuges and Five Precepts. Make sure the recipients hold it. Don't do any evil. Do good deeds. According to it, we can establish a family and govern the country. Humanity is exhausted. And the cause of suffering has ceased. The bitter fruit will destroy itself. Get rid of the three sufferings. Born in heaven. Easy to enter the Buddha's vehicle. Then the study of Buddhism will be exhausted. Therefore, there are three refuges and five precepts. It is a good way to guide the world. A wonderful way to eliminate suffering and happiness. Here are the three refuges. Next comes the five precepts.

The so-called three refuges. Take refuge in Buddha first. The second refuge method. The third is to take refuge in the Sangha. Why should we take refuge in Buddha first? The Buddha is the Great Enlightened World Honored One. After all, always happy. Be free from suffering forever. Guide all sentient beings. Get out of the cage. Just feel it. Buddha is the master of education. Therefore, you should first take refuge in Buddha. The second is to take refuge in the Dharma. This is my Buddhist teaching. Buddhas of the three generations. All practice according to this and achieve immeasurable pure merit. Today I want to return to my roots. Cleanse the mind. There is no reason to abandon the Dharma. Therefore, we should take refuge in the Dharma. Third, you should take refuge in the monks. Don’t propagate the Dharma to yourself. The dummy must be made. People can spread the Dharma. Just listen, think and practice. Become a Buddha. Moreover, no one teaches Buddhism. Although there is nothing I can do. The hard way. I can hear it through the help of monks. This is a great kindness. Therefore, you should take refuge in the Sangha. Also known as taking refuge in the Three Jewels. The meaning of the three treasures. There are three respectively. One is one.

Those who are benevolent will not kill. The righteous do not steal. Those who are polite do not engage in sexual misconduct. A wise man does not drink alcohol. A believer does not lie. If the five precepts are complete. Then one does not seek benevolence but writes benevolence. Don't appreciate righteousness but apply righteousness. Do not pray but stand in ceremony. Not wise but wise. Don't admire the faith but promote it. The so-called Zhen Gang Ti Net. How can we add more merit? In summary, the five precepts have been completed.

? If you don’t explain the five precepts. First (1) Killing. The so-called compassion. Everyone has it. Mencius said. "I can't bear to eat its flesh when I hear its voice." This is a person who studies Buddhism. How can you be willing to indulge in the desire to kill and suffer the consequences? This is why Buddha trains his disciples. If you want to be kind. The leader holds the precept of killing. If you keep the precept of killing. Reincarnation rests on its own.

? The beginning of killing. It's nothing more than bullying the weak with the strong. Or greedy for food. Or kill someone for money. So someone kills someone. Animals kill animals, etc. They all belong to anger killing and slow killing. If you are greedy for food and drink, you will kill. It's crazy killing. Then use his flesh to replenish your own body. This is not what a gentleman can tolerate. Little did he know that murderous intentions are so cute. Hatred arises from the beginning. Therefore the Surangama Sutra says. "People eat sheep. When the sheep dies, it becomes a human being. When a person dies, it becomes a sheep. This goes on for ten lives. Death and death are interdependent. They come and eat each other. Evil karma is born together. The future is poor. These and other things are based on stealing and greed." Therefore, there will be inevitable consequences. Isn't it just murder that should be paid with life? Killing animals also happens again.

? Just like the Liuli King who killed Shi Zhong during the Buddha's time. The race of Sakyamuni Buddha should be punished by King Liuli. Shi Zunshang had an unbearable headache. What is the cause of the effect? The king of Liuli was once a big fish. The Sakya race is a fish-eater. The Buddha was once a child. He once hit the fish on the head three times with a stick. I have a headache now. Shizhong is a person who eats fish meat. Therefore, he was killed by King Liuli. View it this way. Cause and effect reciprocate. Shocking and terrifying.

? So the Surangama Sutra says. "Then the fetuses and eggs in the world become wet. They are eaten one after another according to the strength of the force. This is based on killing and eating." Therefore, the Buddha's compassion does not only extend to human beings. And kindness is like an ant. Dharma is equal. There is no such thing as superiority or inferiority. Look at it with Buddha’s eyes. All living beings on earth can become Buddhas.

? And the Brahma Net Sutra Cloud. "All men are my father. All women are my mother. I am born from him all my life. Therefore, all living beings in the six realms are my parents. Anyone who kills and eats them kills my parents." There is ignorance in the world. Eat each other. Therefore, the Tathagata cannot harm living beings. And it moves with spirit. All have Buddha nature. Genus of insects. Not yet harmful. Like cannibalism. All living beings have Buddha nature. You will definitely become a Buddha in the future. Both parents in the past. Also for the future Buddhas. How dare you hurt it.

? All foolish people. But seek self-interest. No regard for human disability. Like Mencius said. "I'm afraid it won't hurt anyone when I target someone." But I hope to win the struggle. Therefore, there are killing tools on land, water, and air. People's hearts are becoming increasingly dangerous. The world is becoming more and more whirlpool. Kill each other. When did you get it? If you don't try to save it. It turned into a sea of ??suffering. Anyone who cares about the world and people's hearts. Everyone is heartbroken. Strive for peace. Save people's hearts. Get it back on track. Value kindness over force. Don't be greedy. See profit and forget justice. Then you can't afford to kill. The murderous intention is still alive. The calamity has disappeared. However, people's hearts are not ancient. Turn a blind eye to cause and effect. I don't know the cause and effect is subtle. Like a shadow. Like a response sound. If you believe it deeply. People's hearts are not changed but good. Even if you encounter good and bad situations. There will be no worries and joy.

? You should know what you are experiencing in this life. Or encounter things like weapons, water, fire, robbers, etc. All made by themselves. Like during the war. The whole world is restless. Only overseas Chinese live in Australia. Avoid all difficulties. All because they have no serious killing karma in the past. Or there are victims. It's his personal experience. Know that cause and effect is subtle. Incredible. If you believe this. The murderous intention will subside on its own. If the whole world can uphold this prohibition on killing. Then all the killing tools will be useless. The Tathagata is the first to stop this killing. It's nothing more than wanting to make people compassionate and compassionate. Escape from others' suffering. It’s just that we are always happy together. The meaning of the prohibition of killing has been briefly explained.

(2) Those who steal the precepts openly. It is said that theft starts from greed. The Buddha controls his disciples with just a stitch or a blade of grass. Others don't agree with you. I dare not take it. Not to mention theft. But all sentient beings only see immediate benefits. All kinds of plans. Take without telling. In this case, even profit is sought for profit. Ask for evil and ask for more. Insatiable and insatiable. All were taken by greedy thieves. The details of the thief are like this. Big and powerful monks from all directions. Monks in front of you. Even Buddhism, Dharma, and monks. Chaos interoperability. Although the needles and grasses are tiny. Either for own use or with others. All are the most serious of thieves. Huashou Tuashi said. "I can save them all. I can save them all. Stealing things from monks in ten directions. I can't save them." Even parents and teachers have things. Take without giving. Still guilty of a serious crime. Nothing else. If you can believe in cause and effect. Don't make any mistakes. Then this precept is not upheld but maintained by oneself. It's okay not to pick up lost things. The door is not closed at night. The whole world is a righteous person. There is no need to guard a prison. The precept for releasing theft has been completed.

? (3) Those who understand the precepts of sexual misconduct. A disciple who is a monk at home. Everyone should strictly abide by this precept. Five precepts at home. Although a formal couple is not involved in adultery. But other women. He protects. Verbal ridicule. It's still not possible. The situation can violate chastity. Those who pollute the holy life. Buddhist lay disciples. Forbidden from sexual immorality. A monk disciple. Both evil and good are forbidden. The Shurangama Sutra says. "You love my heart. I pity your color. Because of the cause and condition. After thousands of kalpas, always entangled. Only killing, stealing and sexual intercourse. The three are the root. Because of the cause and condition, the karma and the result will continue." If the whole world can uphold this precept. . Do not pray but stand in ceremony. Maintain dignity and self-discipline. Not solemn but serious. But the court does not have to worry about paperwork. The meaning of the precept of releasing adultery has been fulfilled.

? (4) Those who clearly tell lies. Lies. It should also be stopped. See what you see. Hear it and speak it. Nothing can be said without saying anything. Little stories. It still needs to be true. The situation matters. Look at the reason for lying. Mostly for the sake of fame and gain. Anonymous. Shameless. In this way, it is said that the holy fruit has not been obtained. The mind of the Buddha has not yet been realized. Bullying the sages. Deceive the world. This is a big lie. Big lies come true. Fall into the endless hell. Be careful and don't make any mistakes. In Buddhism, a straight mind is the dojo. Why not learn from it. The whole world can uphold this precept. The credit is sufficient. Don't ask for a name, but the name comes naturally. Don’t seek profit but return happiness to yourself. The precept against telling lies has been fulfilled.

(5) Be clear about drinking alcohol. Those who drink alcohol appropriately. Although wine is not meat, it can lead to confusion and loss of nature. There are thirty-six faults in the Great Wisdom Theory. Brahma Net Sutra Cloud. "To pass the wine vessel to others, I have no hands for five hundred lifetimes. How much more to drink by myself? And teach others to drink." In the past, there was a monk who could subdue a poisonous dragon. Only good at drinking. One day. Drunk and lying on the way. The vomiting is sour and smelly. Only the toad licked his lips. It happened that the Buddha came to his side. Buddha sighed. "You have the power to slay a poisonous dragon. Today you are lying drunk. Instead, you are attacked by a toad. Where is your power?" Therefore, the Buddha stopped drinking. This is where alcohol abstinence begins. Drinking alcohol can lead to misfortune. Another example is that in the past there were disciples of the Five Precepts at home. Because he broke the drinking precept, he killed and robbed all the people in vain. Not sad. Therefore, alcohol can be the cause of sin. Pain quits touching your lips. Just drink as much as you can. If the whole world can uphold this precept. If you are drunk, you will get into trouble. There is no one else. The drinking ban has been completed.

?If you want not to violate these five precepts. The focus is on capturing the heart. The delusional mind is like taking pictures. Can't tell the difference. There is no love or hate. All kinds of bad karma. Why was it born? Therefore the Surangama Sutra says. "Capturing the mind is a precept. Because of the precepts, concentration arises. From concentration, wisdom arises." You should know that the two words "capturing the heart" have sufficient precepts. Certainly. Wisdom. Three things to learn without missing a beat. Eliminate greed, anger and ignorance. Then there will be no evil. Ability to perform good deeds. Therefore, the word "heart-taking" alone can save people's hearts. Maintain the order of the world. The fruit can capture the heart in one place. Do nothing. As time goes by, the result is profound. Bodhi can be expected.

? I am so grateful. Sing the three refuges for the first time. Second application of the five precepts. It is convenient to use. First, eradicate the suffering of all sentient beings. His kindness is great. How can I repay him by breaking his body? That’s why I heard about the meaning of the three refuges and five precepts. Start with understanding. Like a hometown of hundreds of families. Ten people hold the five precepts. Then ten people are sincere. One hundred people practice ten good deeds. Then hundreds of people will be in harmony. Pass on this teaching. All over the universe. There will be millions of benevolent people. If you can do a good deed, you will get rid of an evil deed. Then one sentence will be given. A sentence of rest at home. A hundred punishments will rest in the country. He is the lord of the country. Then there will be peace without treatment. Therefore, we should observe the five precepts. Not only do they follow the Buddhist system. The happy fruit of karma. Qi Qi Ming helps the country's laws. Benefit the country. This is the name of the three refuges and the five precepts, and is also a sign of virtue and conduct.

? If you can practice it truly. Then you will get the seed of Buddhahood. The solution is corresponding. Just get to the other side. May everyone. From now on. Learn from hearing. Think about it. Think and practice. Then you can expect to become a Buddha. Always be diligent and diligent. Turning people around. Repay Buddha's kindness. Hope everyone. Everyone should work hard. The future is bright. Eliminate disasters and avoid disasters. If you can take the Three Refuges and Five Precepts. Don't do any evil. Do good deeds. Self-energy corresponds to Tao. The Supreme Buddha Way. It can be rounded.
