Basic knowledge of Buddhism: What is Buddhism? (Figure)

Buddhism is to refrain from all evils, practice all good deeds and purify its meaning.

----Zhuge Changqing

Recently, a friend asked Zhuge Changqing, what is Buddhism?

Is Buddhism a superstition?

Why do so many celebrities, including Lin Zexu, Zhao Puchu, Li Bai and Zeng Guofan, devote themselves to Buddhism?

Zhuge Changqing explained that Buddhism is not superstition. Since it was spread to China, it has been combined with Chinese culture and formed a religion that conforms to Chinese culture. At present, Buddhism has become an important part of Chinese traditional culture and an important pillar of Chinese learning.

Since ancient times, 99% of celebrities and sages have studied Buddhism.

The greatest benefit of Buddhism is to develop people's wisdom and make people aware.

What is Buddhism? Zhuge Changqing, combining the wisdom of ancient and modern eminent monks, explains as follows.

1. What is Buddhism?

Zhuge Changqing: To put it simply, Buddhism is an education that guides people to do good and accumulate virtue, get rid of troubles, enlighten wisdom and move towards liberation. Buddhism was founded and promoted by Buddha Sakyamuni.

Buddha=enlightenment.

Teaching=education.

Buddhism=education to develop wisdom and awareness.

Sooner or later, chant sutras=learn in class

Temple=school

Monk=teacher

Abbot=principal

Luohan=Bachelor's degree

Bodhisattva=Master's degree

Buddha=Doctoral degree

2. What is the core of Buddhism?

Zhuge Changqing: The core of Buddhism is to encourage people to be good. In four words, it is "all Buddhists do not do evil, do good, and purify their meaning".

3. The founder of Buddhism is Sakyamuni Buddha. What does Sakyamuni mean?

The name of Sakyamuni is transliterated from Indian Sanskrit.

Sakyamuni=mercy;

Muni=silence, which means purity.

Buddha=enlightenment.

Zhuge Changqing: A brief explanation is that Sakyamuni Buddha is a kind, pure and wise person.

Because Buddha is such a person, he can become our spiritual teacher.

Sakyamuni Buddha is a North Indian (now Nepal, in the north of India and the south of Tibet). According to Chinese historical records, he was born in Jiayin, the 26th year of King Zhao of Zhou, and died in Renshen, the 53th year of King Mu of Zhou, with a lifetime of 80 years.

4. Why are some monks of poor quality?

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha, everything has two sides. There are good and bad. In fact, nothing is absolute. The appearance of bad people in the monks does not mean that all the monks are bad people. Just like there are bad teachers in the teacher, not all are bad. One cannot generalize by one.

5. Is there any magic in Buddhism? For example, can you fly or walk through the wall?

This is true, and all eminent monks can do it. Because Buddhism does not allow the propaganda of supernatural powers, the eminent monks do not publicize this matter. There are many supernatural powers in the human century. For example, in the third eye on our forehead, 60% of 100 people will have fluoroscopy. For example, if we fly a 200-ton plane in the sky, isn't it also a miracle? You must cultivate to a certain level before you can function. We look at people who have magical powers, like a group of ants watching us jump high and the car in the seat is speeding. Different realms, of course, cannot be understood.

6. What do you think is the best way to learn Buddhism?

Zhuge Changqing suggested that we can start from the four precepts of Liaofan, the Sutra of Three Generations of Cause and Effect, the Chapter of Supreme Sensation, the Jade Calendar Treasure Notes, and the Basic Knowledge of Buddhism. Many eminent scholars started from this book. You can also collect articles from the Internet, or ask for some introductory knowledge in some Buddhist shops, Buddhist associations and temples for free.

......

South no Amitabha, South no Amitabha, South no Amitabha!

Nanwu Master Sakyamuni Buddha. Blessed life is limitless. Confucius. Jesus. Mohammed.

All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the three generations in ten directions.

All immortals in the three realms and ten directions.

All sages at all times and in all countries.

Don't do any evil, and do all good. Persistence and responsiveness.

Zhuge Changqing wishes all the people who are destined to respect their parents and do good deeds and accumulate virtue rich and auspicious!

 佛教基础知识：什么是佛教？（图）

诸恶莫作，众善奉行，自净其意，即是佛教。

---- 诸葛长青

最近，有朋友问诸葛长青，究竟什么是佛教？
  佛教是迷信吗？
  为什么那么多名人，包括林则徐、赵朴初、李白、曾国藩都潜心佛教？
  诸葛长青解释说，佛教不是迷信。自从传到中国以来，就和中国文化结合在一起，形成了符合中国文化底蕴的宗教。现在，佛教已经是中国传统文化的重要组成部分，也是国学的重要支柱。
  自古以来，历代名人贤哲99%都研究佛教。
  佛教的最大好处是开发人的智慧，使人有觉悟。
  那佛教是什么呢？诸葛长青结合古今高僧大德的智慧，讲解如下。
  1、什么是佛教？
  诸葛长青：简单的说，佛教是引导人们行善积德、走出烦恼、开悟智慧、走向解脱的教育。佛教是佛祖释迦牟尼佛创立并弘扬的。

佛=觉悟。
  教=教育。
  佛教=开发智慧觉悟的教育。
  早晚颂经=上课学习
  寺庙=学校
  和尚=老师
  方丈=校长
  罗汉=学士学位
  菩萨=硕士学位
  佛=博士学位
  2、佛教的核心是什么？
  诸葛长青：佛教的核心是让人们向善，用四个词来概括就是“诸恶莫作，众善奉行，自净其意，是诸佛教”。
  3、佛教的创始人是释迦牟尼佛，释迦牟尼是什么意思？
  释迦牟尼这个名号是印度梵语音译过来的。

释迦=仁慈；

牟尼=寂默，寂默也就是清净的意思。

佛=觉悟。

诸葛长青：简要的解释，释迦牟尼佛=仁慈清净大智慧的人。

因为佛祖是这样的人，所以才能成为我们的精神导师。

释迦牟尼佛他是北印度人（现在的尼泊尔，在印度的北方，西藏的南部），根据中国历史记载，他生于周昭王廿六年甲寅，入灭于周穆王五十三年壬申年，世寿八十岁。
  4、为什么有些和尚素质很差？
  诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛，任何事情都有两个面。有好的、也有坏的。实际上任何事情都不是绝对的，和尚里面出现坏人，不等于和尚都是坏人。就像老师里面出了坏老师，不等于都是坏的。不能以偏概全。
  5、佛教里面有没有神通？譬如会飞、会穿墙入室？
 这是有的，而且得道高僧都会。因为佛教不允许宣传神通，所以高僧们都不宣传这件事情。人类世纪上有很多神通。譬如我们额头上的第三只眼，100个人练习，60%会出现透视特异功能现象。譬如，我们把200吨的飞机在天上飞起来，不也是神通吗？必须修炼到一定水平，才能够出现功能。我们看神通的人，就像一群蚂蚁看我们在跳高、在座轿车飞驰。不同的境界，当然无法理解。
  6、你认为，学习佛教，从什么入门好呢？
  诸葛长青建议：可以从《了凡四训》、《三世因果经》、《太上感应篇》、《玉历宝钞》《佛教基础知识》等这些基础开始，很多高人雅士，都是从这本书开始入门的。还可以从网络上，搜集文章，或者道一些佛教用品店、佛教协会、寺庙里免费请一些入门知识看看。
   ......
       南无阿弥陀佛，南无阿弥陀佛，南无阿弥陀佛！

南无本师释迦牟尼佛。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。
