Master Jiqun: The Buddha left four secrets to guide all sentient beings out of the three realms

济群法师：佛陀留下四句秘诀 引导众生出离三界

amitabha. All living beings have the nature of Buddha and can become Buddha.

----Zhuge Changqing

Nanwu Master Sakyamuni Buddha.

Namo Amitabha.

Blessed life is limitless.

Confucius, the most holy of all.

Buddha Sakyamuni said that all living beings have Buddha nature and everyone can become Buddha.

The Huayan Sutra says: "All living beings have the wisdom and virtue of the Tathagata, but it cannot be proved by delusion and persistence."

But why are all beings in the world so worried? Why do you keep reincarnating six paths? How can we escape from life and death? In fact, the Buddha has left behind different ways to relieve people from worldly troubles and go straight to the Supreme Bodhi.

All sentient beings have reversed their ignorance and hold on to themselves. The four moves of Buddha help people get rid of troubles.

As a practitioner of liberation, how can you make your mind rest when you want to think of leaving the three realms and life and death? When Buddha was in Nirvana, he warned Ananda and other disciples that they should live according to the Four Minds.

1、 What is the Four Minds

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. What is the Four Minds? It is to put one's own thoughts in the four places of "body, suffering, mind and law", and use the mindfulness of "impure, bitter, impermanent, and non-self" to generate the observation of wisdom, namely, "observing the body is impure, observing the suffering is bitter, observing the mind is impermanent, and observing the law is non-self", in order to break the four reversals of "purity, happiness, constancy, and self" that we hold. Buddha, as the prince of the emperor, has already seen through the sea of suffering in the world of mortals, and hopes that all living beings will also learn to see through the suffering of life, and do not persist. When a person changes his mind, his behavior will change.

In Buddhism, the general practice method of liberation has thirty-seven items. Among the thirty-seven virtues, the most important ones are the Four Minds and the Eight Rights.

The four places of mindfulness refer to the four places of mindfulness, also known as the four places of mindfulness. Why do we call it the Four Minds and View? Because it is not purely to practice, but to use wisdom to observe the four mindsets to break the four reversals, so it is called the four mindsets.

Four reversals: Because we first cling to me, we further cling to me, which is constant, happy and pure. In Buddhism, it is called reverse thinking. There are four kinds of incorrect views in the world, which are called four reversals. They are Chang, Le, Me and Jing.

Four Ways: Four Minds: Four Minds: Four Reversals:

Unclean - body and mind - body and mind are not clean - clean: it is clean to stick to body and mind.

Bitterness - the place to receive thoughts - to see whether suffering is suffering - happiness: there is happiness in the world.

Impermanence - mindfulness - mindfulness - impermanence - constancy: there is an eternal me in the world.

Without me - Dharma meditation - Dharma observation without me - I: there is one me.

The four places of mindfulness are in the four places of body, suffering, mind and dharma. With the mindfulness of the four methods of impurity, bitterness, impermanence and non-self, the observation of wisdom is born, namely, the observation of body impurity, the observation of suffering, the observation of mind impermanence, and the observation of dharma non-self, in order to break the four reversals of our persistence, namely, purity, happiness, impermanence and ego. After breaking the four reversals, we will not have greed and sorrow. The reason why all sentient beings have all kinds of sorrow is that they have all kinds of greed, anger and delusion, which is persistence, happiness, ego and purity.

2、 The connotation of the four thoughts

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. It is not easy to live in the world of mortals. Faced with all kinds of temptations and challenges, you must keep your heart stable and learn to adjust yourself to keep your heart peaceful.

Share the contents of Jiqun mage's teachings with those who are destined:

1. The body is not clean

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. Buddha Sakyamuni reminded people to often reflect on themselves, that they are just a flesh bag, but a tool to carry our soul, and don't waste time on this body all day.

Master Jiqun: Although ordinary people have all kinds of persistence, this body is often the most persistent.

Many people are busy all their lives, just for the sake of eating, wearing and living, and for the conditioning, maintenance and recovery of the color body. Young people care about whether it is beautiful and outstanding, and try their best to dress it up; The elderly care about its health and safety, and do their best to protect it. But have we ever thought about what the body that makes us work all our life is? In fact, this body is far from being greedy as we think.

The scripture says, "The nine holes often flow unclean." In our body, there are nine holes that often flow dirty things. In addition, every pore will secrete sweat. If it is not cleaned in time, it will emit a smell that can mask the nose. Once dead, the body will quickly stink and decay, leaving a pile of dead bones and turning into a pile of loess. Ordinary people are obsessed with the false appearance of their body and will be greedy. If we can see its essence and understand the impurity and unlovable joy of the body, we can naturally reduce greed.

2. To observe suffering is to suffer

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. Sakyamuni Buddha reminded us that when we look at problems, we should treat them dialectically. Life is a journey, and what we experience is a result of suffering. We should practice Buddhism frequently, enlightened wisdom, and have the heart to escape from the sea of suffering.

Master Jiqun: To receive is to feel the environment. Many people feel that there are joys and sorrows in life. When we are ill or in low mood, we naturally suffer.

But is it also hard to suffer from such things as "the wedding night, the time of winning the gold medal"? It is clear that "people are in good spirits at happy events". Why bother?

So, how does the Buddha view these?

From the perspective of Buddhist wisdom, the essence of these three feelings is bitter. Suffering itself goes without saying that everyone knows it is suffering. As for happiness, Buddhism calls it bad suffering, because no happiness is eternal.

In fact, the moment of happiness is towards pain.

When happiness dies, pain follows.

When we are hungry, we will be happy to taste delicious food. Once it exceeds the body's needs, happiness turns into pain. If the essence of tasting delicious food is happy, the more you eat, the happier you should be. Therefore, the essence of happiness is not real happiness.

Happiness only comes from the psychological balance when a certain desire is satisfied, and there is no real and constant happiness. In addition, there is a kind of feeling that is not bitter but not happy. Relying on the suffering of the establishment and practice is the suffering of the impermanence of the law. In short, all feelings will end in pain, just as all life will end in death.

3. Observing the impermanence of mind

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. People's hearts are always changing.

Master Jiqun: Our mind is changeable:

When happiness comes, it will not be happy forever; When pain comes, it will not last forever;

When the mood is high, it may not be maintained for a long time; When you are depressed, you may not stay the same.

The mind is always erratic, the mind is impermanent, and is always changing.

Recognizing the impermanent nature of mind, we will not cling to certain feelings, will not be complacent because of good times, and will not be difficult to extricate ourselves because of adversity.

4. There is no self in Dharma observation

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. In the Vajra Sutra, the Buddha said: "All things that can be done are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, so we should do the same.". All Buddha dharma is a ship for people, and all things are illusory changes. We should keep our mind clean. Buddha said, "All appearances are vanity". Don't persist.

Master Jiqun: Dharma refers to all the laws of the universe and life; I mean the sole and unchanging master. All the laws of the universe, including our own, are formed by the combination of all the factors, and there is no single entity. But all sentient beings, because of the inverted ignorance, cling to me. Therefore, the Buddha warned his disciples that they should observe the Dharma without self, so as to get rid of their greed for everything in the world.

The world's lack of correct understanding of the universe and life has led to the reversal of the four concepts of Chang, Le, Me and Jing. The four mindfulness and mindfulness taught by the Buddha are just to help us correct these four wrong ideas. Through the practice of observing the purity of body, suffering, impermanence of mind, and selflessness of Dharma, we can finally get rid of all kinds of troubles and pains caused by the four wrong understandings of Chang, Le, Me and Jing.

阿弥陀佛。一切众生皆有如来佛性，皆可以成佛。

---- 诸葛长青

  南无本师释迦牟尼佛。

   南无阿弥陀佛。

   福生无量天尊。

   大成至圣孔子。

   佛祖释迦牟尼佛说，众生皆有佛性，人人可以成佛。

  《华严经》云：“一切众生皆有如来智慧德相，但以妄想执著不能证得。”

   但是世间众生为何烦恼如此众多？为何不断轮回六道？怎样才能了脱生死出离三界？其实佛陀早已留下不同法门，让人解脱世间烦恼，直趋无上菩提。

    众生颠倒无明妄执有我，佛陀四招让人摆脱烦恼。

     作为解脱道的行者，要想出离三界，了脱生死，应如何令念头安住呢？佛陀临涅槃时告诫阿难等诸弟子们说：应依四念处而住。

   一、什么是四念处

   诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。什么是四念处？就是把自己的念头放在“身、受、心、法”这四个处所，以“不净、苦、无常、无我”四法的正念，而生起智慧的观察，就是“观身不净、观受是苦、观心无常、观法无我”，以达到破除我们执著的“净、乐、常、我”四个颠倒。佛祖，作为皇帝太子，早已看透红尘苦海，希望众生也学会看透人生的苦，不要执着。一个人，念头变了，自己的行为才会变化。
　　在佛教中，一般解脱道的修行方法有三十七道品。在三十七道品中，最重要的有四念处与八正道。

　　四念处是指四个安顿心念的处所，又称为四念处观。为什么把它称为四念处观呢？因为它并不纯粹在于修定，而是以智慧用四种法观察四念处来破除四种颠倒，故称为四念处观。

　　四颠倒：因为我们先执著有我，故进一步执著我是常的、乐的、净的，在佛法中称为颠倒想。世间人有四种不正确的知见，称为四颠倒，它们是：常、乐、我、净。

　　四法：　四念处：　四种念：　　四颠倒：
　　不净－－身念处－－观身不净－－净：执著身心是干净的。
　 苦　－－受念处－－观受是苦－－乐：执著世间有快乐。
　　无常－－心念处－－观心无常－－常：执著世间有一个永恒的我。
　　无我－－法念处－－观法无我－－我：执著有一个我。

　　四念处是在身、受、心、法这四个处所，以不净、苦、无常、无我四法的正念，而生起智慧的观察，就是观身不净、观受是苦、观心无常、观法无我，以达到破除我们执著的净、乐、常、我四个颠倒。破除四颠倒后，我们就不会有贪爱与忧愁，众生之所以有种种忧愁，有各种贪瞋痴，就是执著常、乐、我、净。

   二、四念处的内涵

     诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。人在红尘，很不容易。面临种种诱惑，面临种种挑战，必须把自己的内心放平稳，必须学会调整自己，让自己内心平和。

   把济群法师的开示内容分享有缘者：

   1、观身不净

   诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。佛祖释迦牟尼佛提醒人们经常反观自身，自身是个肉皮囊，只不过是承载我们灵魂的工具，不要整天为了这个色身浪费时间。

   济群法师：凡夫虽有种种执著，但其中最执著的往往是这个身体。

   很多人终其一生忙忙碌碌，无非是为了这个色身的吃、穿、住，为了这个色身的调理、保养、康复。年轻人关心它是否美丽出众，费尽心思地装扮它；老年人关心它是否健康平安，竭尽全力地呵护它。但我们是否想过，这个让自己操劳一生的身体究竟是什么呢？其实，这个身体远不如我们以为的那么值得贪著。

   经云：“九孔常流不净。”在我们身体上，有九个时常流淌不净秽物的窟窿。此外，每个毛孔都会分泌汗液，若不及时清洗，就会散发令人掩鼻的异味。一旦死去，这个身体更会迅速恶臭、腐烂，最后剩下一堆枯骨，化为一抔黄土。常人迷惑于色身假相，才会贪著不已。若能透视其本质，明了色身的不净和不可爱乐，自然就能减少贪著。

   2、观受是苦

    诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。释迦牟尼佛提醒我们，看待问题，要辩证看待，人生是一个旅程，经受的都是一种结果是受苦的磨练。要勤修佛法、开悟智慧，有脱离苦海的心。

   济群法师：受，即对环境的感受。很多人觉得，人生感受是有苦有乐的，当我们患病或情绪低落时，自然是苦受。

   但“洞房花烛夜，金榜题名时”之类，难道也是苦受吗？明明是“人逢喜事精神爽”，何苦之有？

   那么，佛法又是怎么看待这些的呢？

   以佛法智慧透视，这三种感受的本质都是苦的。苦受本身自不必说，大家都知道是苦。至于乐受，佛教称之为坏苦，因为没有一种快乐是永恒不变的。

   事实上，快乐的当下就是在趋向痛苦。

   当快乐消逝时，痛苦就接踵而至了。

   我们饥饿时，品尝美味佳肴会感到快乐。一旦超过身体所需，快乐就转为痛苦了。如果品尝美味的本质是快乐的，应该越吃越快乐才对，事实却不然。所以，乐受的本质也不是真正的快乐。

   快乐只是来自某种欲望得到满足时的心理平衡，并没有实在、不变的快乐。此外，还有一类属于非苦非乐的感觉，为舍受。依舍受建立行苦，即有为法无常变迁之苦。总之，一切感受终会归于痛苦，就像一切生命都会走向死亡这个终点。

   3、观心无常

   诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。人的内心总是不断变化的。

   济群法师：我们的心念是无常变化的：

   快乐到来时，不会永远快乐；痛苦降临时，也不会永远痛苦；

   情绪高涨时，未必长久保持；心情沮丧时，也未必持续不变。

   心念总是飘忽不定的，念念都是无常，时时都在变幻。

   认识到心念的无常本质，就不会执著于某种感觉，不会因顺境而自鸣得意，也不会因逆境而难以自拔。

   4、观法无我

   诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。佛祖在《金刚经》中说：一切有为法，如梦幻泡影，如露亦如电，应作如是观。一切佛法都是度人的船，一切万物都是虚幻的变化，要保持清净心。佛说“凡所有相、皆是虚妄”。不要执着。

   济群法师：法，指宇宙人生的一切诸法；我，指独存、不变的主宰。宇宙一切诸法，包括我们自身，都是众缘和合而成，其中并不存在独存的实体。但众生由于颠倒无明，妄执有我。所以佛陀告诫弟子，应观法无我，从而摆脱对世间万象的贪著。

   世人由于对宇宙、人生缺乏正确理解，导致常、乐、我、净四种颠倒观念。佛陀所教导的四念住，正是为了帮助我们对治这四种错误观念。通过观身不净、观受是苦、观心无常、观法无我的修习，最终能够摆脱因常、乐、我、净四种错误认识制造的种种烦恼和痛苦。
