 Guru Rinpoche Suoda Ji Dae Department of Philosophy at Beijing University, and honed in practice for such confidence is the Most Excellent. Such reasoning is not lip service, nor is it says the text, nor is it in theory, is the heart from the depths of his heart That is what we mean reclaim the confidence of transfer.
intellectuals of us here now, I feel the need to not only the confidence of this theory, but also on the card needs repair, that the actual operational This belief, this belief I think we the young people present here, must go to the wish of intellectuals. Now a lot of people with a blind religious, a superstitious element, that it so, if we encounter not liking things, your faith you can easily lead to false views on the environment. So we think that based on a wisdom built on the basis of a right view, confidence is very reliable. So, as I am concerned, for many years been engaged in translation work, while a margin of time as everyone Goutong preached to the experience in which they receive such an experience, feeling, must have a correct faith, this is very important. If you do not have a proper confidence Now this community as anything for some fame, wealth, the pursuit went crazy.
now this time, heard some players, stars or actors, overwhelmed by thousands of people to start to pursue , the pursuit of what objectives? may not own a star, nor myself as an actor, but no cases were observed for want to talk with him, but if the time to observe with the wisdom of it, what kind of Even their own purposes is also not clear, is confused to the chase, we do not believe people should have such a mentality to chase, so now you all of you, should be the long-term study. especially your arts, science academic all aspects of this wisdom is very keen, scholarly acumen of this wisdom I think I should speak with the news which we think the Buddhist practice inside the news and the wisdom of thinking is consistent, when you start to listen to by the relevant These teachings, and then go to their own understanding, thinking, observing, and finally gained the confidence of this as the wisdom of such a practice. Therefore, to discuss with you today is the first one is that we have faith can not superstition, should have positive letter. is believed to be the kind of wisdom, this wisdom to both the individual, the community group as a whole is concerned, is the source of our development and progress. So what, a lot of people here to learn, the learning process, I think we have a few aspects of the truth to discuss with you today, I think the first question, as an intellectual study of religion is indispensable. remember that Einstein, in his collected works which said, legs, religion without science is blind if the guidance is likely to become blind, the blind, so why do I say that? That is our religion Buddhism or Confucianism or Christianity which, then, whether any one religion has some good side, that is like Christianity, like the Confucian We are all human thoughts and actions attributed to moral goodness. any science without religious instruction, and may be blind, but the pursuit of material or the development of society, so that the final human-caused what is it? is destroyed by the failure . So I think, really are intellectuals, especially those who pay attention to scientific terms the desirability of any one religion is indispensable, if any one religious belief does not exist, beliefs are not, the blind pursuit of material society, then Today, in this society, perhaps your career, you wealth, fame, status, etc. will be successful, but it brings happiness is not necessarily.
we often find there are many people Colleges to commit suicide, successful entrepreneurs, successful leadership of the number of individuals to commit suicide. Now, according to many statistics, the previous decade compared with the past few years, more and reduce our happiness index, while the suicide rate increasing , particularly in terms of science is well developed in the U.S. suicide rate is also very prominent, and this is why? This is none of our scientists inner faith, no religion other than the words in addition to protecting their own, simply do not care about the protection of the outside world, do not care the healthy development of human behavior, do not care about our world is a common home, to live in harmony in pursuit of the goal of human splendid culture, there is no such desirability and psychological guidance, so that eventually people from the face of it confused though, it should be said the outside world is colorful, but in fact the heart of terror, the inner pale, heart pain, heart more and more by the blind. The community should be said that the need for religion, without religion, without faith, then the external life , developed at the same time more and more material, so that our society's ethics, virtues of our spirit more and more down, more down gradually on humans to fend for themselves, but also can be self-defeating. In this phenomenon In society, the international not difficult to see. Sometimes I sit no matter when a person, or jointly with other intellectuals in the exchange process, has always stressed that people must have a faith, the same as the Sakyamuni Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha wisdom or, as more or less the same access as part of the idea is very important, otherwise is like standing next to the sea the story of thirst does not make any difference. humans are busy every day lives have been struggling, has been pursuing, but the end goal may be empty when a look I, a non-income, extremely painful. This is defeat, very bleak picture has been in front of us, which I think we have the knowledge After the eye should focus on elements related to the Buddha left us with compassion and wisdom of the above can be said that the Buddha's wisdom is far more than other religions. Why do you say this? We all know that so many world religions, religion is indeed human The role of social kind is ineffable, it is undeniable, since ancient times in the history of so many religious people that without their spirit, especially the western countries like the United States if not the Christian restraint, lest they is particularly painful, but in some religious doctrines which can only protect our people, but can not protect everything all the world, including all living beings, which is it, I think many religions it is the amount of compassion, not breadth too enough, so why should we boundless compassion for all living beings the world? The reason is that their world of endless beings and our lives are like humans, find the music to avoid the pain, but these creatures are blind and can not be a known source of pain, not a known source of happiness. I remember the ; meaning that those of us living beings to be happy, though, try to get rid the pain, but too blind beings, our environment, our lives, education, and various causes and conditions of driven, the pursuit of happiness cause we do not know. many college students here in our world is very successful in the high tens of thousands of candidates in the examination to the Beijing University, is indeed very rare, but you have to such institutions of higher learning for the pursuit of happiness after you think that there? is do good; discard the root of all suffering is a broken-crime industry, if this relationship was not a known cause, then it, this morning I spoke in the philosophy department, talking about it means one must have a cause and effect of our life right view, right view, if not even a cause and effect, then people call you the world of higher learning, is a graduate of Beijing University Tsinghua University, and the world are very envious of, which we are all well known in China in terms of things, but if you really is that even what is coming to the truth also can not understand it, a sense I am afraid it can not be included in the ranks of the wise, coupled with the emotions and cause us to not only me and other masters Sakyamuni Buddha says to contractors based on the promise of the law but because the truth is All That way, committing evil industry must be suffering, to create good karma must be feeling happy, as if we eat the poison it, body and mind of pain, and you eat magic, even if you die out gradually on the last minute will be happy, this is a law of karma, not of Sakyamuni Buddha is the master of the world, is not the case. So with this analogy to explain the majority of our Buddhist compassion, I would like to know all of you should be out.
Second, we have talked about the wisdom of Buddhism which, it has Shengyi Di, Shi Sudi two prominent features. It Shi Sudi first, we all know in this world all-encompassing knowledge, including astronomy, geography, and physiology, physics, chemistry, including the world of various theories, in our theory by Sakyamuni Buddha which can be found. I will speak a metaphor, we are astronomy, in the case did not have any instruments, all of the sun 365 days a year of operation, the operation, including the solar and lunar eclipses, and even an hour is not bad, from ancient to now has been to rely on a simple number, in accordance with the With the future of astronomy is not found. There is also our medicine, like Western medicine, Chinese medicine practitioners are many, such as Mr. previously said, intellectual problems, intellectual disadvantage arises in relatively heavy, there is suspicion often generated. But such doubts, in fact, I think we in the learning process, regardless of Buddhism, on the other worldly knowledge, the beginning doubt, with the suspect by Zen saying no, otherwise the same as the Buddhist world who know nothing about, casually open slander, this is very unreasonable, to a certain time he was definitely committed to make up for your own sins. before Shakespeare, In his makes sense. We are now some intellectuals lip service, there is no detailed observations, which casually denigrate theory, what kind of thinking, what kind of practice which should say it is not wise, so many of you here , regardless of religious studies, or Zen community, and should, when we studied it, standing fair, very reasonable stand on the position of the Buddha by the theory you can observe, the words of other religions can also be observation. Of course, Buddha also did not say you have to accept my religion, any religion and no religion people are free to choose, but the process you choose, your best bet is to find the truth, If you do not find the truth and follow the other opinion makers to say, others, and follow the crowd, so after the chase, a result is not too good. So I think of us here, we should reflect on their faith, you can choose, but when the choice be sure to find a particular firm belief. What is the firm faith? us to study, learn, when you look at the example of Sakyamuni Buddha said, alone, that we are empty of words, then you do not understand, then, it is just a legend, on paper only, if you really understand the meaning of emptiness, as described by the Buddha to be on this reasoning governance, conduct of the government when I believe everyone will achieve this incredible, or is understood, however clear the air of this realm of light and space that goes for no other realm, that people have to When such a state would not have language to get their own entirely understand. So this time I think beings and Buddha to no difference. I remember Bodhidharma in the it with water that is simple, we worry every day by ignorance, respectively, under the control of read, then the true colors of the real for a moment there is no accessible, and unnecessary confusion, very complex, confusing the minds of external circumstances have been inside surface, with which it has been run around in the world. so we, as a worker engaged in scientific terms or in terms of people who are science, not religion to guide, not the words of wisdom, guidance, behavior likely to lead to destruction.
then we, in turn, this means that we need science of religion, any religion to promote a wide range of beings destined, along with some of the current science and technology, along with the management of society, along with some of society organization, standardization, in such a way to go into people's minds this is becoming very important. Therefore, among the Chinese Buddhism, they focus on carrying forward the previous Master Tai Buddhism, Buddhism in fact I have two views, the first what kind of view we can not become too secular, and if too become secular, we Buddhism inherent, original, the original of this nature has been destroyed. had the confidence to tell a Buddhist there, you feel joy, you love, what kind of words you use to replace it, the last truly original Sambo's confidence has become another state, I think this world of sense. But we as much as possible, for example, to Buddhism esoteric language with a word to replace the current, so that people fully understand, fully accessible means what it says. Now we often talk about Buddhism or sentient beings, and now some intellectuals say it lives, I think it should be is good, this is a easy to understand, in its original meaning, the real meaning of the same circumstances, such a law is truly important, if there is no such concept is very important respectively, unlike the ancients, if the ancients, he had time to study, thinking he had the space, he has analyzed the energy, there is no ah. Now all of our short lives are used in the material and competitive. Now many people use an analogy, in Africa there deer and the lion to illustrate the social competition, and why so I say that? deer every morning and it wants to, today, I want to to run as fast or will be eaten, the lion also think today I will grab the fastest speed or I'll starve to death. Every living beings are like this for their own goals and different. whether in universities, or commercial institutions, including some civil servants, teachers, doctors, among them there are many dark, because is compassion, altruism does not mind, if they have altruistic heart, with compassion, then, everyone will consider you more or less people around, to consider the people behind. I've seen a metaphor, in the movies, if selfish in front of all the people, then stood up in front of a person, two people stood up, and then see all the people behind the ultimate cinema all the people just stood, everyone's legs standing pain, there is no way, because do not fit in front of people. Now the community who are like this, one is selfish, every plant, a variety of large plants do not believe in cause and effect, in order to build drugs selfish, do not take into account human health, human true public interest, this is what we now lack faith, lack of a causal view of reincarnation, the lack of this life what goes around comes around this concept of cause and effect, this will bring a terrible crisis that is far far more than the economic crisis. the economic crisis, many countries can support, there are many people to adjust their methods. If our thinking, mind, and fundamentally a crisis occurs, it is difficult to save. So I think some of our intellectuals and institutions of higher learning Mahayana Buddhism, the people there communicate with each other, does society at large, the state is concerned, as well as a variety of groups on there in terms of a role, we should focus on promoting Ye Hao said, people who preach these lessons to Mahayana stresses should be very aware of these reasons, but understand some things in the community which would not necessarily play a big role, you as many intellectuals have the opportunity to play in different collective capacity of its own, when you play to their ability If fully Qianchu selfish heart, for us certainly have some difficulties, but at least is altruism is based, to help others is a basic principle of life.
Originally, I remember, U.S. scientists, access to Nobel Peace Prize non-violence of Martin Luther King said, he said, a life. by conscience to the world that we need good light, and now more and more good shielding light, and dark shadows more serious, if not impossible to drive off, of course, I may be out of a pessimistic point of view, perhaps not, indeed we are in this era, largely from the material development of society which has been pretty good. the original Guru Mani visited the United States in 93 years, to the United States when the material level when we feel they are good, then Han is also very much hope that such economic conditions, but the kind of material conditions when they are in China, especially opening up in major cities can be reached, but we are not satisfied? is not happy? not happy We have become slaves of money into the house of slaves into the car of the slaves. cities which men are selfish, all of them make a fortune for himself, their practice interests, and ultimately did myself flies very happy. just to eat, we chat with some classmates, and indeed by contrast, in our living conditions in Tibet is not so rich, but the happiness index should be high. Why in recent years, Tibetan climatic conditions so harsh, but hundreds of people age very much, for this reason that many intellectuals, many scientists believe are related, and psychological adjustment. possession of psychological adjustment to the only way is to Mahayana Buddhism, so before Toynbee Dr. He said, of people I think this is indispensable, otherwise why do so many students now, why do so many intellectuals, a little of some minor problems, committed suicide. but have faith, and know the meaning of Mahayana Buddhism, not to mention the small stuff, meet very big thing when he has the ability to calmly face. I went to Yushu, where did from their houses collapsed, people died, and all aspects of loss and damage caused are no words to express, but we are several hundred After a nun to the deceased to their salvation, to people who live the comfort of the discovery process is very clear, that what? they have faith, they would have had to prepare my heart so-called death comes, so For them, a natural and manmade disasters occur, such a natural disaster occurs, is a matter of course. Many people talk about all the million methods are impermanent, the cycle is painful, so unfortunately for them, this is not , but also not occasionally, the day is very unfair blow to master, many people do not like that. I was with a Chinese news reporter at the racetrack with some of the villagers together to discuss the process, his feelings are very deep He said, later, it is unbearable to the spirit of suicide, but after here, and my heart is still very serene, and some people who all died at home, but he took in the hospital while turning round, getting his Guanyin mantras, smile on her face, and we had to ask you sorry? how are you? l family died, he said, but death is very pleased that we met many monks to their salvation, people finally have a death, impermanence is inevitable that this salvation they encounter so many monks, is very proud very happy things r, their own body is black and blue, but they think it is creating bad karma past life, no way, had a good confession In addition there is no can not face facts. Some of the basic Buddhist This is very important. some time ago in my hometown are groups of students in fifth grade graduation ceremony, I take them to go for a day on the prairie, I said you have to leave his alma mater, the last with a teacher with us over there to play, and eventually they began to cry very sad, and I say this little cry, I told them a simple word, which is particularly simple inside a Buddhist teachings, but actually it is very deep meaning . I told them a Students Ye Hao, Ye Hao whole family gathered in here, but over a period of time will separate ways, but also a principle of Buddhism ----- accumulation will diffuse all, know this truth, when the spread is not sad. For example, focus on two people together, over time divorced; a family very happy, over time the family had left, not painful, I already said that will be scattered together. The second problem property has been accumulated, the accumulation of hard, and finally Yuandi away, or is some of the unfortunate fate to be lost at home all the property, and if you know how Buddhism is a kind of natural law which is not an unfair. and students that die, people die when they leave the world, and his family dead, Ye Hao, including when he was dying we would a normal face, do not think we will never die, ah, Is there a way I beg you let me live for some time, do not think so. Ye Hao our body, our entire human history in terms of all the world no one is born alive, so the situation of Buddhism is also very easy to understand terms. The fourth high that will fall, all people are also to a certain time, including us to some of the high-rise buildings, all the splendid buildings at some point turned into a pile walls, which is also an uncertainty. who has learned that truth, then to those students that might be talking about today is a very simple, but you have to read after school, college, ah, maybe you were a real life encounter some things, think of these teachings, even if the recall should write in the diary above.
I think that Buddhism really is, and not because I am a Buddhist saying, I stand a very fair position, we learn Buddhist Thought of you and even life after life with the help of a particularly large, even if you do not recognize life after life, that students were now very complex, very confusing society, and adjust to your body and mind is indeed considerable force and effect . I have often encountered the intellectuals in our cities or some other person, with the faith of these people, especially the truth of Buddhism in theory is a fundamental understanding of the people, they are much happening in the world have the courage to face a lot of things have the ability to face, otherwise as . The world is separated from the pain, and we see on the surface is worn by each person is good, sitting in the car is good, live in luxurious houses Ye Hao, looking at all aspects of it is envy, actually your heart that they do not make some adjustments can afford it, is not happy. including our monks are the same, there are some real repair evidence would encounter any kind of thing is very cool, very comfortable, is not thinking about this matter. If our hearts, none of Buddhism which they see through to lay down comfortable realm, then you do not say the hair shaved off, ears cut useless, or have an inner dedication. we need most now is the Buddhist idea of education. Now Han Indeed, more than a place to learn Buddhism, as we have possession of land, my home county Luhuo 4 million people may have, probably more than 20 temples. Five out where the Buddhist Institute Sertar a population of less than 4 million people , there are nearly 30 temples. so people who went to Tibet to know that after a while and later saw a stupa and saw a temple, most of the monasteries which are preached by the eight month near the temple Precepts, these children are more or less an early age under the influence of Buddhism, Buddhist doctrine is quite clear. and those of us in big cities, every city has several million or even tens of millions of people, little monastery, really lay as many people at home are very willing to learn, but there is no place to learn, a teacher and missionary on a few. So now we are in form of Buddhism is not important, no matter where we go, do not pay attention to form, in the form What set off firecrackers Ye Hao, singing Ye Hao, these are the external image of the most critical is that we need to know the inner truth of Buddhism. Therefore, pro-Buddhist world of division, after the Nirvana of Buddha Dharma who the greatest is India on the World Pro division, the world of pro division in the listen by, to learn this is called teaching; proof theory is the truth into my heart, adjust the greed, hatred adjusted heart, in addition to teaching and the proof does not exist other than Buddhism. so we Buddhism flourished and repair more magnificent than the temple, how many people out to do some charity, ah, do charity is a form of Buddhism, an act, the most fundamental is that you do not mind if the concept of compassion, in fact, proof of Buddhism is not among your continued with . So each of us must learn Buddhism, this is very important to study Buddhism has to a certain time you have some of this change of heart. Of course I think that people here may also have other Christians, I think to understand for other believers It is thought this is also very important, for example, you are a Christian, or other Muslims, the true God, Ye Hao, Allah Ye Hao, their thoughts, no one who knows the great compassion and formal drums formalism, metaphysics, I think not a lot of sense, the history of this behavior are vulnerable to change. For example, Ye Hao Buddhism we learn, learning any other truth, science is not very deep, then at some point encounter to the time when a little wind and rain, your heart will be changed outside the environment, your confidence will change. So we are now a number of blind superstition must be Qianchu. great scientist Albert Einstein, who in a very long time studies later, he also said Later, they saw Xu Liangying Einstein's collected works is the translation there, and later the English version also, I think, as a great scientist like Einstein would like is the study of Buddhism? So I found a lot of lot of information indeed his collected works, the English version is also said so. Scientists believe that like him, which in any religion can stand the test of science is full of Buddhism, so that now some people do not believe in Buddhism, and even slander , especially during the Cultural Revolution, so there's so many things. Of course the younger has not been present decade-long calamity, so do not understand. before Han was also some of our great men say that religion is opium, and later some people use this to start against Buddhism, including people often say that it is a narcotic poison, used to describe drugs, and drug dealer who is missionary, or to use other language not particularly respectful of the attack, there is this phenomenon. was seen as a matter of fact Marx Ye Hao Ye Hao Engels, he was not thinking of the 19th century, Buddhism is more like a judge. I was a lot of people in the analysis also found that he was definitely not the case with the metaphor, when the so-called opium, has not Before the Opium War occurred in the West is a very expensive drug, which medicine to take a moment after the pain of the people can go out, so it is a pain analgesic off. There is a lot of opium to attract people with this perspective, the religious argument for the suction of thousands of people particularly from the metaphor that people spend it the opposite metaphor. So we told some scholars explain the process to go must be profound thinking, is why he later Engels In the such a great man is there that the dialectic of human thought in the era of the Buddha 2,500 years ago is really mature. Lung Meng Ye Hao Buddha, inside the method we pro-Buddhist teachers of dialectical thought they did so in this world on everywhere, this should be very obvious things. There Marx also said, not you want to overthrow overthrow not you want to say superstition is superstition, I think all of you for Ye Hao Buddhism to other religions or not, for strong, do not have to change your beliefs, which teach you the letter no different, but you come and observe the wisdom to use. Select the wisdom of life is very important, if you do not just blind faith in the pursuit of such a world money, some of the world status of fame, people do not live in this world must have real value.
So all of you today, Ye Hao teachers, students Ye Hao, our common way of which I am very happy from the inside, happy because on the one hand engaged in their education do feel there is a sense of responsibility, which we are in this world, we do not want to own fortune, fame, never thought this regard, we would like to put such a good knowledge of a thought such a good time with each other in a chance to pass, perhaps this value far more than money, we use the money to help others, solve some people's lives and social issues will be difficult, so we let the thoughts be balanced, thought be transferred smoothly, the people in that time, the State, society at large is also a ...
