Practice question: How to do morning and evening classes in Buddhist practice?

修行疑问：学佛修行如何做好早晚课？

What is the most important core of Buddhist study and practice? How can we do it better?

----- Zhuge Changqing

Hello, Mr. Zhuge Changqing.

   How are you, teacher?

   I have a question that I have been struggling with for a long time, could you please answer it for me in your busy schedule?

   I am now releasing the living creatures once a week and giving 7 grains of rice and water every night in the simplest way possible.

   Every morning and evening, I recite Namo Amitabha Buddha 100 times, the six-character mantra 108 times, the rebirth mantra 21 times and the Heart Sutra 7 times to the Bodhisattva.

   My wife is a bit suspicious and even blames me for not reciting the sutra at night [my wife also believes in Buddhism and often goes to the temple hall to burn incense] because the temple master said it is better not to burn incense at night, probably because we do not have the power to hold it well, and it is not suitable to burn incense and recite the sutra at night if we have invited the God of Wealth and Bodhisattva at home.

   May I ask the teacher if it is true that it is not suitable to do gongfu at night?

   Another question is, is it not suitable to recite the Past Life Mantra at night?

   I look forward to your help in untying this knot in my heart!

   Thank you, Amitabha Buddha!

                                                  A Buddhist practitioner

Teacher Zhuge Changqing answered as follows.

   Amitabha Buddha.

   It is very good that you are continuing to release life, give food, chant the Buddha's name, and so on.

   There will be great blessings in the future.

    Nowadays, many people are joining in the study and practice of Buddhism. It's very good!

   According to Zhuge Changqing, this is a sign that China's rise to become a world power is accelerating!

   If Chinese people today learn to practise Buddhism and do more good deeds, China will be greatly blessed and meritorious in the future, and our great country will certainly be on its way to a new renaissance.

    I sincerely thank all the practitioners of Buddhism and wish them all prosperity, good fortune, blessings from the heavenly officials, and success in their wishes!

     Today, I would like to take the opportunity to answer a question from a "keen practitioner of Buddhism" and to tell you how to do your homework.

   What is the most important core that you must have in order to study Buddhism?

  Zhuge Changqing tells those who have the right to do so: the most important core of practice is to refrain from doing all kinds of evil, to practice all kinds of good, and to purify yourself. And winning the understanding and support of your wrongdoers is an important lesson in cultivation, a way towards the purification of your own will.

   This sentient being mentions that we may be saying that we do not have the power to hold it well, and that it is not appropriate to burn incense and recite sutras at night if we have invited the God of Wealth at home. According to Zhuge Changqing, this statement is not true and has no scientific basis. Buddhism teaches that all six seasons are auspicious, that every day is a good day and every year is a good year. The God of Wealth is also the protector deity of Buddhism, and there is no such thing as not being able to burn incense at night if the God of Wealth is worshipped.

   Zhuge Changqing recommends that those who are lucky do the following.

   First, do more of Zhuge Changqing's "Five in One" to quickly enhance the wisdom of the God of Wealth and Virtue.

    It is very good for you to keep releasing life, giving food, etc. Remember to release life and give food in accordance with the rituals.

   You can do more of Mr Zhuge Changqing's "Five in One" (repentance, food giving, life release, chanting and vegetarianism) and you will make rapid progress.

   5、More than 7 grains of rice is better.

   You can pinch the millet with your fingers and pinch it in three times in succession with the mantra.

    2. You can recite the Buddha's name, sutras and mantras in the morning and evening. Remember: you must first return to your wrongdoers.

   1, it is recommended to return to your wrongdoers, etc. first, and then to others. Because you need to pay your debts first. Pay your debts first.

   2. Remember, if you don't pay your debts, you will be punished. This is the law of heaven. It's like a person who owes someone $100,000 and doesn't pay it, but tells the world that he is going to save the world. How do you think that wrongdoer will treat him? He will certainly be furious, and he will be followed by his debt collectors, making him suffer a lot. This is why many practitioners have problems. Remember, only when you have paid your debts can you save the world. Otherwise, problems are bound to arise.

   3. How do I return the favour? For details, please refer to Mr. Zhuge Changqing's Food Giving Ritual. There are shortcomings in your current return, which should be corrected. This is also the reason why your business is not doing well. Your wrongdoers come to you to collect your debts, and instead of paying them, you bail out others, so you have bad business, constant worries, wife blame, etc.

   Third, do not recite the "mantra for the afterlife", which is for transcendental purposes.

     You may not burn incense at night. You can recite the Buddha's name, the Taoist name, Buddhist scriptures, Buddhist mantras, etc.

    The God of Wealth and the Buddha and Bodhisattva should be worshipped separately. You should consult a Buddhist person for details.

   Five, how to do a good morning and evening class? How to do it better.

   Zhuge Changqing suggests that the most important thing to do is to seek the understanding of your wrongdoers and the blessing of the gods and Buddhas. So, at the beginning, you must ask for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, the forgiveness and blessing of your wrongdoers, and at the end you must return to your wrongdoers first, followed by the other returns.

   Whether you do your homework in the morning or evening, follow the following sequence and you will be very well off.

   Before you recite Buddhist sutras, mantras, etc., you can recite the Buddha's name, the Tao's name and the God of Wealth's name and ask for their blessing and protection. Also communicate with your wrongdoers and ask them to understand you and support you.

    Teacher Zhuge Changqing suggests that you can do this.

     1, chanting way (Zhuge Changqing: recommend beginners to kneel down with both knees for the best effect)

    1) Standing, sitting, kneeling on both knees can be.

    2) You cannot recite lying down.

    3) If there is time, it is recommended to kneel with both knees, hands together chanting.

    4) You can also chant with your forehead, hands and legs touching the surface of the bed or cushion.

    5) The method of kneeling with both knees is recommended for beginners, and after a long time, the method of sitting at the end can be adopted.

    2. Ensure meditation (Zhuge Changqing: this is the most important part and should be carried out carefully).

     First invite the Buddha, Bodhisattva and Gods to bless and ensure the chanting effect (3-10 times each, depending on the time):.

    1) You may recite the invocation of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas (hand gesture: hands together) like this

    Namo Shakyamuni Buddha, Namo Amitabha Buddha, Namo Oriental Glazed Medicine Buddha, Namo Maitreya Buddha, Namo the three Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the ten directions.

    2) You can invoke the blessings of the gods by chanting (gesture: clasp your hands, wrap your left hand into a palm over your right fist, place your left thumb into the tiger's mouth of your right hand, and place your right thumb under your left thumb) like this

    Fusheng Wuqiantianzong, Yuan Shi Tianzong, Ling Bao Tianzong, Dao De Tianzong, Taiyi Tianzong for the Relief of Suffering, Tai Shang Laojun, Nine Heavenly Mysteries; Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Jiang Tai Gong, Nanji Immortal, Tota Li Heavenly King, Nezha Third Prince, God of Literature and Wealth, God of City God, God of Land, Master Zao, Grandmother Zao, Bed Mother, all gods and goddesses in heaven, all gods and goddesses on earth, hello, disciple** * Prepare to recite ****, please bless me with your blessing to meditate on the recitation.

    3) Please ask your ingrates and others to forgive and help you recite (Zhuge Changqing: 3 times will do).

    I **** of all the accumulated wrongdoers, accumulated clansmen, aborted baby spirits, all the gods, all humans, all animals, all plants, all living beings in the water, all living beings on the ground, all living beings in the air, etc., hello, I have done a lot of things wrong to you over the years, please forgive me, I am determined to recite **** back to you, please Help me, support me, I will send the merit of reciting **** back to you, please help me to let me meditate on the recitation, thank you. (Zhuge Changqing: If you say this 3 times, they will not obstruct you and you will be very still when you chant).

    4) After you have finished you can recite what you miss.

   3, after chanting must return to the direction (except when something suddenly interferes, or when you are in a hurry).

   After doing so, you must first return to your wrongdoers and so on.

   Specific reference Zhuge Changqing teacher's food rituals back to.

    4. Zhuge Changqing's special reminder.

   If you are pressed for time, need to work, etc., you can simply say.

  Hello Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, gods and goddesses, I am going to recite ****, please help me, bless me. Hello all my ingrates, I am going to recite **** back to you, help me more and support me, please do not obstruct me, thank you.

   5, you follow the practice of Zhuge Changqing teacher, everything will be sensed quickly.

    If you have strong faith and persevere, you will be blessed.

Zhuge Changqing wishes all those who have the good fortune to honour their parents, do good deeds, give food, and donate scriptures for printing, great wealth and good fortune.

Namaste Shakyamuni Buddha.

Namo Amitabha Buddha. Namo Amitabha Buddha.

Blessed be the Infinite Heavenly Father. Confucius. Jesus. Muhammad.

All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the ten directions.

All the gods and immortals in the three worlds and ten directions.

All the sages of the past and present. 

     Do not do evil and practice good deeds. Be persistent and answer all your requests.  

学佛修行，最重要的核心是什么？如何做会更好？

----- 诸葛长青

诸葛长青老师您好：

   老师您好！

   我有个问题纠结很久了，请你在百忙中为我解答好吗？

   我现在每个星期去放一次生，每天晚上用7粒米 水最简单的方式施食。

   每天早晚念南无阿弥陀佛100遍，六字大明咒108遍，往生咒21遍，心经7遍供养菩萨，所有的功德回向十方法界一切众生，虽然我不知道得不得法，但是我对佛很有信心。

   这段时间生意不怎么好，我老婆有点怀疑甚至有点责怪我晚上不该念经[我老婆也信佛，经常去庙殿烧香]，因为庙里的师傅说晚上最好不要烧香，可能是说我们没有功力，不好把持，家里请了财神菩萨就不适合晚上烧香念经。

   请问老师，真的晚上不适合做功课吗？

   还有一个问题，晚上不适合念《往生咒》吗？

   期待老师为我解开心中的这个结！

   谢谢老师，阿弥陀佛！

                                                  一位学佛修行者

诸葛长青老师解答如下：

   阿弥陀佛。

   你持续放生、施食、念佛号等很精进，非常好。

   未来必有大福报。

    现在，很多人都加入到学佛修行之中来了。非常好啊！

   诸葛长青认为，这预兆中国崛起于世界强国之林的步伐正在加快！

   今日中国人学佛修行多做好事，未来中国就福报大、功德大，我们伟大的祖国，必定会走向新的复兴。

    诚心感谢所有学佛修行者，真诚祝福天下学佛修行者富贵吉祥、天官赐福、心想事成！

     今天，借着回答“一位学佛修行有缘者”的疑问，同时告诉各位有缘修行者如何修行做功课。

   学佛修行，你必须最重要的核心是什么？

  诸葛长青告诉有缘者：修行最重要的核心是诸恶莫作，众善奉行，自净其意。而赢得你冤亲债主的理解和支持是修行的重要功课，是走向自净其意的途径。

   这位有缘者提到：可能是说我们没有功力，不好把持，家里请了财神菩萨就不适合晚上烧香念经。诸葛长青认为，这种说法是不对的，没有科学根据。佛教讲六时皆吉祥，日日是好日，年年是好年。财神菩萨也是佛教的护法神，不存在供了财神菩萨就晚上不能烧香的说法。

   诸葛长青建议有缘者做好以下几点：
   一、多做诸葛长青老师“五合一”，迅速提升福报功德智慧。

    你持续放生、施食等非常好，记住放生、施食要符合仪轨。

   平时可以多做诸葛长青老师的“五合一”（忏悔、施食、放生、念诵、吃素），这样就会进展神速。

     4、诸葛长青施食文化专辑http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/articlelist_1239807711_1_1.html 

   5、施食的米可以多一些，超过7粒米更好。

   可以用手指捏着小米，连着念咒语捏入三次。

    二、早晚可以念佛号、经咒等，记住：必须先回向你的冤亲债主。

   1、建议先回向你的冤亲债主等，然后回向其他。因为你需要先还债务。偿还债务第一。
   2、记住，债务不还，必受惩罚。这是天条规律啊。就好像一个人欠别人10万元不还，却告诉天下人，他将要救天下人。你想，那个冤亲债主会如何对他呢？肯定会火冒三丈、上面跟讨债，让他苦难重重了。这也是为什么很多修行者出现问题的原因了，大家记住啊，只有把自己债务还了，才可以救助天下人。否则必会出现问题的。

   3、如何回向？具体参考诸葛长青老师的施食仪轨回向。你现在的回向存在缺点，应当修正。这也是你生意不好的原因啊。你的冤亲债主上门讨债，你不还债，反而救助其他人，所以你就出现生意不好、烦恼不断、妻子责怪等。

   三、平时不要念诵“往生咒”，那是超度用的。

     四、晚上可以不烧香。可以念佛号、道号、佛经、佛咒等.

    财神和佛菩萨要分开供奉。具体你咨询佛教人士。

   五、如何做好早晚课？如何做才更好。

   诸葛长青建议，做早晚课最重要的是争取你冤亲债主的理解和神佛的保佑加持。所以，一开始要请求神佛加持、冤亲债主原谅和加持，最后必须先回向你的冤亲债主，后是其他回向。

   不论你早晚做功课，按照下面顺序进行，就会非常好。

   你念佛经、佛咒等之前，可以念佛号、道号、财神号，请他们加持护佑。同时和你的冤亲债主沟通，请他们理解你、支持你。

    诸葛长青老师建议你可以这样做：

     1、念诵方式（诸葛长青：建议初学者双膝下跪，效果最好）

    1）站立、坐、双膝下跪都可以。

    2）不能躺着念。

    3）如果有时间，建议双膝下跪，双手合什念诵。

    4）也可以额头、双手、双腿接触床面或者垫子上，念诵。

    5）建议初学者双膝下跪的方法，时间久了，可以采用端坐的方法。

    2、确保静心（诸葛长青：这是最重要的一部分，要认真执行）：

     先请佛菩萨、神仙加持，保证念诵效果（根据时间，各念3-10遍）：

    1）你可以这样念请佛菩萨加持（手势：双手合什）：

    南无本师释迦牟尼佛、南无阿弥陀佛、南无东方琉璃药师佛、南无弥勒佛，南无十方三世诸佛菩萨；

    2）你可以这样念请神仙加持（手势：双手抱拳，左手成掌包在右拳上，左手大拇指放进右手虎口，右手大拇指放在左手大拇指下）：

    福生无量天尊，元始天尊、灵宝天尊、道德天尊，太乙救苦天尊，太上老君，九天玄女；玉皇大帝、王母娘娘、姜太公、南极仙翁、托塔李天王、哪吒三太子，文财神、武财神，城隍神、土地神，灶王爷爷、灶王奶奶，床头妈妈，天上一切神仙、人间一切神仙、地上一切神仙，你们好，弟子***准备念诵****，请你们加持保佑我静心念诵。

    3）请冤亲债主等原谅、帮助你念诵（诸葛长青：3遍就可以）：

    弟子***的各位累世冤亲债主、累世宗亲、堕胎婴灵，曾经杀害过、伤害过、欺骗过、吃过的一切神仙、一切人类、一切动物、一切植物，水中一切生灵、地面一切生灵、空中一切生灵等，你们好，累劫以来我做了很多对不起你们的事情，请你们原谅我，我决心念****回向给你们，请你们帮助我，支持我，我将把念***的功德回向给你们，请你们帮助我让我静心念诵，谢谢你们。（诸葛长青：你这样说3遍，他们就不会阻挠你了，你念诵的时候就会十分静心）。

    4）说完之后可以念诵你想念的内容了。

   3、念完之后必须回向（有事情忽然干扰、时间仓促除外）。

   做好之后，必须先回向你的冤亲债主等。

   具体参照诸葛长青老师的施食仪轨回向。

    4、诸葛长青特别提示：

   如果你时间紧张、需要上班等，可以简单地说：

  各位佛菩萨、各位神仙你们好，我准备念诵****，请你们帮助我、加持我。我的各位冤亲债主你们好，我准备念****回向给你们，多帮助我、支持我，请你们不要阻挠我，谢谢你们。

   5、你按照诸葛长青老师的做法，一切都会迅速感应的。

    坚定信心持之以恒，必有福报。

诸葛长青祝福天下孝敬父母、行善积德、放生施食、捐印经书的有缘者富贵吉祥、福报巨大。

南无本师释迦牟尼佛。

南无阿弥陀佛。南无阿弥陀佛。

福生无量天尊。孔子。耶稣。穆罕默德。

十方三世诸佛菩萨。

三界十方一切神仙。

古今中外一切圣贤。 

     诸恶莫作，众善奉行。持之以恒、有求必应。
