Do believers in Jesus know that Jesus has been missing for three years? No one knows where he went. In those three years, he went to India to study Buddhism, so the Buddhism he studied was to ascend to heaven-a paradise in heaven. This is similar to the truth in the Amitabha Sutra. It's Jesus and a part of Buddhism. He used that method to educate that kind of sentient beings. In the final analysis, they all want to return to their roots and become Buddhists. This situation is unknown to many people. He is a member of Buddhism; He is also a Buddhist, but the people he teaches don't want to admit that he is a Buddhist, so he doesn't speak Buddhism.

The second way to seek heaven is to seek profit, which is Sanskrit. What's the translation? Don't you know? Just translate "I don't know" into "I don't know God". I didn't know it was thirty-three, but it was called "thirty-three days" in Sanskrit. How do you call it thirty-three days? Because the emperor is in the middle, this Indra Day lives in the middle. This explanation is Indra in shurangama mantra, that is, Catholicism and Jesuits, what they call God; China people call him the Jade Emperor; In the Book of Songs, he was called a god-"fasting and bathing to serve God". If you fast and bathe, you can serve God.

What is a free body? This is Monty's heresy. I tell you frankly that this natural body is the God of Catholicism and Christianity. The king of freedom also belongs to this religion. Incredibly, their tribute is high, and I am slow and simple. They said that there can be no monks without Buddha, and they slandered the three treasures. I think I am supreme and arrogant. Why is this happening? Just because they are so comfortable and happy, they are really comfortable! But avalokitesvara doesn't take such sentient beings seriously. When their opportunity is ripe, explain the Buddhism to them and let them turn their confusion into consciousness and return to their original source.
God lives in the palace of heaven.

Heaven takes nature as its righteousness and karma as its sense, and it appears for 33 days.
"Heaven for Heaven" is Sanskrit. Translated into Chinese, it is called "33 days". These 33 days are not counted from bottom to top: the first floor, the second floor, the third floor ... are all combined into 33 floors, so they are called 33 days. But there are eight days in the east, eight days in the west, eight days in the south and eight days in the north; This 48 * * * 32 is distributed on the four sides of the 33rd day, in the middle, which is called the 33rd day.
The god of thirty-three days is called dishi. In Buddhism, the emperor is just a protector.
The interpretation of Yin Huan in the Amitabha Sutra is the emperor's explanation. In shurangama mantra, it is said that "there is no Ye Luo in the south", and this "Ye Luo in Indra" is Indra. Although he is a god in heaven, he is only a protector in Buddhism; Not only can he not make a decision, but he doesn't even have a seat. He just stood at the door. This god is what most people call "Almighty God".
Yes, he can do anything. He is not only in charge of things in heaven, but also in charge of things on earth. But he is no different from us. Why? He also has lust, food and sleep, but he is lighter and not as heavy as us humans. We humans, in terms of diet, can't stand hunger without eating for a few days; I quit for a few days and felt very uncomfortable; If you don't sleep for a few days, you will feel less energetic. However, this stone emperor can eat nothing for one hundred days, two hundred days, three hundred days and one year. It is ok not to sleep for a year; It's okay to have nothing to ask for for for a year. However, even so, he still has no desire to break.
Life expectancy is 1000 years. Think of our 100 year on earth as a day and night for profit. Think about it: although his life expectancy is 1000 years, he is much younger than us.
There are 80,000 days in the sky and seven treasures in the city. The city alone has 60 thousand days. The city where God lives is called Shanjian City, and all the palaces where he lives are built with the most precious treasures. So when he was born in this place, he didn't want to go, but he wanted to be a god there. That's why. His front, back, left, right, up and down are all jewels, and his house is also made of jewels. Such a beautiful place, such a beautiful palace, so his desire will not stop, thinking that this is enough, and he can safely enjoy the blessings there. He thinks this is the happiest place, so he hopes that all beings will be born in his kingdom and his world. "My world is such a happy world. I welcome anyone who is happy to come! " Because he welcomes everyone to live here, he feels very generous; But he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, just because he is greedy for this kind of happiness.
So after talking for a long time, how did this great god do it? Did you rise from the ground, first as a landlord and then as a god? There is a custom in Guangzhou that every family worships the landlord. Will the landlord be promoted to god? Or should the landlord be the master, and then the master be God? That's not true. So how do you become a God?
When he was in Cayefo, this god was originally a woman, so don't think of him as anything. This woman is bent on building a pagoda temple for the Buddha. What made her feel this way? Because she saw a ruined temple with no roof and no ceiling. There is a Buddha statue in this ruined temple. Whenever it rains and blows, the gold surface attached to the Buddha statue will rush down from his face one by one. When she saw it, she felt sad: "Ouch! This Buddha statue was dirty, but now it is blown by the wind and beaten by the rain, ah! This is too bad! " So she made a heart to build the temple.
She wanted to build a temple, but she had no money, so she went to her relatives and friends and said, "I want to build a temple now, but I have no money." Can you all help me? " Find relatives if you have relatives, and friends if you have friends. We will do a charity for each other and repair this temple. "Her relatives and friends said," Yes, we all cooperated with each other to build a temple. "So looking for, only found 33 people-she is one of the founders, and there are 32 people, most of whom are women. This point has not been tested by history, nor can it be verified. If there are men, there are very few. Because what about men? He thought he was great and didn't like building temples. He said, "Let women do this. So thirty-three women built temples and pagodas. Everyone took out a little money, and * * * took out all the strength to build temples and towers.
After the completion of the pagoda temple, all 33 people ascended to heaven at the end of their lives. Everyone has a sky, so 33 people have 33 days. In the middle of these 33 days, there is a god in heaven-Dishi. This is the origin of the sky.
What do you mean by "God"? Nothing interesting. It's not called heaven if it's interesting. Why is it boring? Heaven takes nature as its righteousness, and that is what "nature" means. The karma of these 33 people and their karma reveal this kind of day. If it weren't for these 33 people, these 33 days wouldn't have happened, so I said it was meaningless. If you want to go to that sky, it will be boring, so don't go there for 33 days.
All religions are Buddhism.

I just said that all religions are Buddhism, and they have not surpassed Buddhism, because Buddhism is all-encompassing. Buddhism has various laws, and Buddhism also has various laws; Buddhism also produces all religions, and these religions are all produced by Buddhism. So since it was produced by Buddhism, it will still belong to Buddhism in the future. It was born here and will come to this place in the future. So don't ask him now, what religion are you? Do you believe in God and Jesus? No matter what religion you believe in, you have never run out of Buddhism. So just believe it. You write letters, you walk around, and you have to come back. So look how big this is! Buddhism is so big, so is Buddhism. Although it is not available, there is no law that is not a law, and there is no law that is not a law. So what can we do?
All beings are Buddhists.

The present sentient beings are our parents in the past and the Buddha in the future.
If you hate all sentient beings, you will hate your parents and Buddha and become a rebellious and unfilial person.

The Buddha's birthday of Hinayana Buddhism in the south is different from that of Mahayana Buddhism in the north, but no matter which day, as long as it is sincerely commemorated and solemnly worshipped, it is the Buddha's birthday. Because there is no fixed method, it is a pity to study these things specially, and if you make your hair white and your eyes blurred and you can't find the reason, it is a waste of good time.
For Buddhism, most people have their own obsession, some are Indian Buddhism, some are Ceylon Buddhism, some are China Buddhism, or Japanese Buddhism, and so on. Different persistence and views make Buddhism bounded and marginal, and Buddhism is divided. In fact, Buddhism is boundless and has no certain scope. Therefore, I have always advocated that Buddhism should not be divided, but should be United as one. I often say that the Buddhism I am talking about is not Indian Buddhism, nor China Buddhism, but Buddhism all over the dharma world. In detail, Buddhism has no nationality, Buddhism has no race and Buddhism has no people. Not only Buddhists believe in Buddhism, but also Buddhists who don't believe in Buddhism. Why? Because Buddha Sakyamuni once said, "All sentient beings have Buddha nature and are worthy of being a Buddha. It can be proved that people who believe in Buddhism are also sentient beings, and those who don't believe in Buddhism are also sentient beings.
Some people say, "I am not a sentient being." So what is it that you are not a sentient creature? Someone said, "My name is Tian, and I am Tian. You know, heaven is also one of all beings. Someone said, "My name is Dee, and I am Dee. You know, the earth is also one of all beings, and it is not beyond all beings. All dharma circles are empty, where all beings live. Among the ten dharma realms, Buddhism and Dharma are beyond all sentient beings, and the other nine dharma realms-Bodhisattva, Jue Yuan, Wensheng, Heaven, Man, Asura, Animals, Hungry Ghosts and Hell-are all within all sentient beings, so they are all called sentient beings.
Since they are all sentient beings, what is unfair if I count those who don't believe in Buddhism? This is the whole use of Buddhism. Buddha said: "All living beings can become Buddhas. Whether you believe in Buddhism or not, you can become a Buddha in the future. Why? Because you can't run out of the circle of all beings. If you don't believe in Buddhism now, you will believe in Buddhism in the future; If I don't believe in Buddhism in this life, I will believe in Buddhism in the next life, and I will believe in Buddhism one day, so I regard all sentient beings as Buddhists.
Now there are unreasonable religions that insist that only a unique God can dominate the world, create the world and control the universe. Man is not qualified to be a god, but can only be a slave and be dominated by God. This theory is just the opposite of the purpose of Buddhism. The purpose of Buddhism is: "Everyone can become a Buddha. The present sentient beings are our parents in the past and the Buddha in the future. If we hate all sentient beings, it is equivalent to hating our parents and Buddha and becoming a rebellious and unfilial person. Therefore, we should be merciful to all beings, respect all beings, treat each other sincerely, help each other, and don't hinder each other and be jealous of each other. This is the greatest thing of Buddhism.
Today, all of you have come to the Holy City of Ten Thousand Buddhas to attend the Buddha Bathing Festival. I don't care whether you believe in Buddhism or not, bathing Buddha doesn't bathe Buddha. I realize that you are all Buddhists. You believe in God, and you are a Buddhist. You believe in Jesus. You are a Buddhist. If you believe in Judaism or Islam, you are all Buddhists and will never be counted as Buddhism. We are all family, there is no difference between us. Look! How great Buddhism is! There is no idea of rejecting paganism.
There is no dispute that religions in the world live in harmony.

In line with the principle of "Taoism is parallel and not contradictory", all religious teachings are brought together, studied in depth, complemented by each other, carried forward and pushed forward.
I came to the United States to promote Buddhism, in order to spare all beings from suffering and have fun, so I give lectures every day to make you wise and know what goes around comes around. This is a true fact. Remember not to make causal mistakes, or you will fall into hell and never find your person again. But I haven't told you the benefits of listening to classics. Listening to the classics is to understand the truth, not to understand the truth. After understanding, you can practice according to law and get real happiness. The so-called "letter, letter, letter, letter, letter" can be achieved by following these four steps.
When we understand this problem, we must attach importance to Buddhism, support Buddhism and make Buddhism prosper day by day. It is the duty of Buddhists to continue the wisdom of Buddhism.
No matter what religion, it is to create happiness for all beings, not to create trouble for all beings. We should not have preconceived ideas about any religion and criticize other religions for being less brilliant than Buddhism. We should adhere to the principle of "Taoism is parallel and not contradictory", gather all religious doctrines, make in-depth study, learn from each other's strengths, carry forward and push forward. Otherwise it will be eliminated by the times.
Someone asked me, "What do you teach?" I am Shinrikyo, Zoroastrianism, Zoroastrianism, Zoroastrianism. Because all living beings are human beings and everyone can become a Buddha, Buddhism can be taught by others or by all living beings.
Buddhism is empty and biased towards dharma. We should admit that all religions are part of Buddhism. But all religions, whether they recognize Buddhism or not, are their own business, so don't ask. We should broaden our horizons to include everything. All vanity and preference for Buddhism are manifestations of truth. Attention, everyone! Don't leave any religion in the future. They share with us, and we don't share with them. Only in this way can we achieve peace. Otherwise, it is meaningless to argue with each other. Truth is not afraid of test. The more scientific progress, the more correct the truth of Buddhism. The so-called "real gold is not afraid of fire", the more refined, the brighter.

Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in one? One and three
-
The difference between Buddhism and Confucianism is that one advocates secular law and the other advocates birth law;
However, the birth law is achieved by secular law, not by leaving secular law.
Mencius once said: "The Tao is in Er, but far away;" Things are easy, but difficult. " "The law is obvious, but the secret is seeking; People are diligent and lazy. I said the last two sentences, not Mencius. " Seek laziness ",laziness is laziness.
Mencius is a saint, aiming at imitating Confucius' way, advocating kingly way and denouncing hegemony. Confucius, on the other hand, is an unprecedented saint in China, or a prophet, or has a considerable history. Why was Confucius born in China? It turns out that Confucius was a reclusive teenager in Buddhism in his last life, just like a teenager who was good at managing money; China's Laozi, the founder of Taoism, is the incarnation of Buddhist old Ye Jia. Confucius is the embodiment of Shui Yue Boy. Yan Hui is the embodiment of Mingyue Confucianism in Buddhism.
Why did Ye Jia's father become Lao Zi? Why did Shui Yue boy become Confucius? Why did the bright moon Confucian scholars become Yan Hui? This is because the Mahayana Buddhism came to China, so this group of Buddhist bodhisattvas came to China in order to make way for Buddhism. They built the road of Buddhism first, so when Buddhism spread to China, these Mahayana people accepted it easily. Otherwise, when Buddhism spread to China, most people did not learn Taoism or Confucianism; Therefore, although Buddhism is profound, no one understands it and no one accepts it. This is very laborious. So old Ye Jia also took pains to come to China to be Lao Tzu. How to call Lao zi? Because he was born with white hair and beard, he was old when he was born, so he was called Laozi.
Lao Tzu's surname is Li, his first name. When he came to China, he kept trying to advocate Taoism instead of Buddhism. As for the hidden boy, he advocated Confucianism, so he opened two smooth roads. So when Buddhism spread to China, it came naturally, and many people accepted the truth of Buddhism. China's Confucianism is like a pupil who has just entered school, learning the truth that children can easily understand. Then I will go to middle school in the future. Taoism in China is like a middle school curriculum. After finishing middle school, I will go to college, so the course of Buddhism is the course of college, so Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are three in one, and one is divided into three. Primary schools are for middle schools, middle schools are for universities, and universities are for all those who want to further their studies, so there are primary schools, middle schools and universities. Buddhism can be said to be a university that has traveled all over the legal world.
Although this university is here, not everyone can enter the university, and many people can't even study, so many people don't know Buddhism and don't know what Buddhism is. This is the reason. Because although there are primary schools and secondary schools, not all children can enter primary schools; For the same reason, all students who should go to middle school may not go to middle school completely. Therefore, in China, Confucianism is a primary school curriculum, other religions can be said to be secondary school curriculum, while Buddhism is all-encompassing, all-encompassing, all-encompassing, so the dharma circles are all Buddhist universities. Then there are many people who can't read and can't enter universities, middle schools and primary schools.
Confucian Confucius also has five eyes and six connections, and is also full of considerable wisdom and profound wisdom, so Confucius was born with the auspicious appearance of spitting jade books. Confucius said:
He said that when I was fifteen, I was determined to have my students die, but despite this ambition, I haven't really made up my mind.
"Standing at thirty", it was not until I was thirty that I made up my mind to practice.
"Forty without confusion", by the age of forty, all his doubts, doubts and confusions had been broken, so he said that he was not confused. Not being confused means not being tempted, which is what Mencius said: forty without being tempted. What is not tempted? Money, color, fame, food and sleep are all indifferent. Wealth, he is not greedy, enough is enough; Color, he is not greedy; Name, he is not greedy; He is not greedy for food and beautiful things; Sleep, not sleep. If you are not confused, you are not confused. Prajna wisdom is now the past.
"You know the destiny at fifty", and Confucius didn't really get the destiny until fifty. This destiny is destiny, and he can know what the philosophy of life is; I also know people's fate-what people's past lives were like.
"Obey at sixty", and at sixty, you will have the kung fu of obedience. Ear hearing, according to the common people, can be said to be the same as eyes and ears. Generally speaking, clairvoyance and clairvoyance are the functions of celestial ears and celestial eyes.
"At the age of 70, he did what he wanted to do." By the time he was 70, he missed it. If it is leaked, then his work is finished at this time. In order to pave the way for Buddhism, he should emphasize loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, love, faith, righteousness, harmony and peace. Also talk about eight items: governor, sincerity, self-cultivation and governing the country. He also talked about the three programs of virtue, new people and perfection, which gave Buddhism a half way.
Wu Ge, what is Wu Ge? All we old pedants and scholars know is to get rid of our material desires, your habits and your delusions. This material desire includes your hobbies, including things you can't let go of. These are all desires and should be abolished. You can get rid of material desires, and then your wisdom can be cheerful and present, so you should know. Know and be sincere; You are sincere, and then you are right; You can straighten your mind and cultivate your self. The heart is not right, the body cannot be repaired, the heart is not sincere, and the heart is not right. This is a set of steps. Self-cultivation means harmony at home and governing the country. This is what Confucius said, learn from things, be sincere and upright, cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's character, and govern the country and level the world. These eight items can be said to contain the meaning of worldly law and birth law.
However, Confucianism only knows the secular law and does not pay attention to the law of birth, so it is a primary school; It talks about five virtues and eight virtues, and the five virtues of brothers, parents and ancestors are loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, faithfulness and harmony, paving the way for Buddhism. Taoism paved half the way for Buddhism; Taoism makes people want to be lovelorn, but it is not as sure as Buddhism says. Taoism says:
My wife is so clear, but my heart is uneasy; People are so quiet that they want to lead them.
Often can send their desires, peace of mind; Clear the heart, but clear the mind.
Natural six desires are not born, and three poisons are destroyed.
So, I can't, because my heart is unclear and I don't want to send it.
Can be sent, look at the heart, the heart is helpless;
The appearance has its shape, and it has its shape without its shape; From a distance, there is nothing.
Three nothing, nothing.
Empty view, empty; Nothing, nothing;
Nothing, nothing, Zhan Ran is often silent; Can you live without silence?
It's so quiet not to be born.
My wife is so sober, but her brain is disturbed. This person's spirit is so clean, but this person's heart is dishonest, like a monkey, jumping up and down, running south and north. Therefore, "the heart is like a horse, and the heart is like an ape." This is dishonest. " People's hearts are quiet, but they want to keep them. "People's hearts are quiet, but desire imprisons them there and makes them impure." I can often send my desires, but my heart is quiet; Clear the heart, but clear the heart ",the natural six desires are not born, and the three poisons are not extinguished.
"So can't, because the heart is not clear, want not to send also. Can be sent, look at the heart, the heart is helpless; The appearance has its shape, and it has its shape without its shape; From a distance, there is nothing. Three nothing, nothing. Empty view, empty; Nothing, nothing; Nothing, nothing, Zhan Ran is often silent; Can you live without silence? " Wait until this "silence", do you want to live? You are pure to the extreme, clarified to the extreme, and naturally there is no desire. "If you don't want to be born, it's really quiet", which is a real purity.
The difference between Buddhism and Confucianism is that one advocates secular law and the other advocates birth law, which is realized through secular law rather than leaving it.
Therefore, whether students or public figures in general, most people highly admire Confucius. It is said that he knows the world, the past and the present, a hundred schools of thought contend, is well-read, versatile, knowledgeable and capable.
Therefore, everyone who studies Buddhism must first understand the truth of Taoism and Confucianism, and then your understanding of Buddhism will naturally be solved.

220. Excerpt from "King Kong Bar Drink-A Record of Master Gong Xuan's Question and Answer"
Q: The Buddhist community claims that the Jade Emperor of Taoism is a Buddhist god, but Taoism denies it. They say that the Jade Emperor and all the pick Jin Xian are beyond reincarnation, they can never be in the realm of desire, and they have no hostility towards Asura. What's going on here?
Master Zheng Yan: This problem is a lawsuit that cannot be clearly solved. According to the common customs, it is difficult for an upright official to judge housework, and this mage can't judge religious affairs. This religion, each said his own first, each said his own truth. In fact, they are scratching their boots there, and the blind touch the elephant. How tall is the Jade Emperor? How fat is it? What color is that? Do they know? Do I know? do you know that or not? I believe there is no evidence.
Q: What's the difference between Buddhism and Taoism?

277.
Q: What's the difference between Taoism and Buddhism?
Master: Taoism is only half, but Buddhism is thorough. You know Buddhism, but you don't know Taoism. It is impossible to really understand Buddhism. Knowing Taoism, you don't know Buddhism, that's only half, just one step, two steps and a beginning.
278.
Q: What's the difference between Buddhism and Taoism?
Master: What do you think is the difference between old people, adults and young people? Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are one family, but one is a child, one is a middle-aged person and the other is an elderly person. Can they understand each other's thoughts?

Student: I am a Jew, but there is no Judaism among the five major religions in the world that the master said. Want to know how Buddhism cooperates with Judaism?
Master: Judaism is Buddhism and Catholicism is Buddhism, but that doesn't mean changing the name. The religion I believe in is not a religion, but I think it's just a change of human nature. So no matter what religion I see, I am what religion.
720.
Q: What's the difference between Buddhism and Catholicism? I don't understand, please explain.
Master Zheng Yan: Explain why? If you like Catholicism, go to Catholicism If you plant that reason, you will get that result. If you like Buddhism, you should study Buddhism. This is what you like, and what you plant will bear fruit. They are different, they are all evil and good.
