Because the three conversions of Buddhism are:
Convert to Buddhism and never convert to heresy;
Convert to the law and never believe in cults;
Convert to a monk, don't follow heterodox disciples from generation to generation.
After asking for the teacher's conversion certificate, most people said that they had converted to a certain mage. In fact, the person who converted was a Sangha, not a mage. Therefore, all monks who convert to monks are my teachers, whether they are virtuous or stupid. They should respect propriety as a teacher and call themselves disciples. They should not praise me for being slow, nor should they arbitrarily distinguish between wise men and fools. This is the first thing that converts should pay attention to.
Secondly, people who believe in Buddhism and study Buddhism often convert only once, not three times. For example, those who believe in Buddhism but don't listen to the dharma respect monks, or respect monks who don't respect Buddhism and smell the dharma, even regard Buddha as a god, and only seek promotion and wealth, happiness and longevity. These are not real Buddhists. Buddhists who truly convert to the Three Treasures should be close to the good knowledge and listen to the classics and the teachings. Worship the Buddha and the monk is to cultivate blessings and repay merits.
People who convert to Sambo have the following questions:
First, conversion is not vegetarianism, abstinence or becoming a monk. Converting to Sambo is just an oath to believe in Sambo for life, and I swear not to change my faith.
Second, you can respect God, ancestors and pagans by converting to the Sambo, but you should know that respect and conversion are different. Respect is courtesy, and conversion is to dedicate your mind, body and heart to the Sambo.
Third, conversion to Sambo is not a one-time, one-time or one-time conversion, and conversion is the end of life. Yoga precepts: not converting for a day is a violation of the precepts. Conversion is not only a conversion to Buddhism, but also a conversion to the Sangha, not to the individual.
Therefore, after conversion, we should use Buddhism to adjust our body and mind, strengthen our faith, change our temperament, turn past greed into joy, hatred into compassion, laziness into courage and diligence, negative pessimism into positive optimism, and then seek five precepts at home and eight official pavilions. So as to enhance our belief level and plant the seeds of interest in Bodhi.
How to become a Buddhist
How to become a Buddhist after converting to Sambo? We should pay attention to the following matters:
First, believe in the three treasures: to be a real Buddhist, we must first believe in the three treasures. For example, Master Taixu said: People who convert to life will throw their life-saving assets into the sea of Buddhist monks, and they will no longer hold me and my place. From then on, only Buddhists and Monks are the main reliance, and wherever they go, they will not retreat to the belief of Buddhists and Monks because of the relocation of their life-saving assets. In other words, the body can be destroyed, the world can go bad, and the faith in Buddhism and Buddhism will not waver. Buddhists and dharma monks are like the sea, and now they report it. There is life and death in the sea, and there is no gain or loss in the sea. If you can convert to Buddhism and Dharma monk like this, you will become a true Buddhist.
The so-called true faith is because we are convinced that the three treasures are true, pure, virtuous and capable of saving us. The four unshakable beliefs of converts are:
1, the confidence in Sambo remains unchanged.
2. Observe the precepts of conversion and never destroy the criminals.
I don't doubt my faith in Sanfa India.
4. Unswerving belief in the Dojo.
Second, we should look at life from a perspective: perspective is the key to enlightenment in life. The way of becoming a Buddha says: To be a disciple of the Three Treasures, you must:
1, see that there are good and evil in life.
2. Seeing that life is rewarding.
3. See that there are sages and ordinary people in life.
4. See that life has past lives and afterlife.
Third, speak in the right language: the so-called right language is a good oral career, that is, no swearing, no tongue sticking out, no bad mouth and no strange language. As the saying goes, "illness comes from the mouth, and disaster comes from the mouth." We have a sharp axe in our mouth. If we don't speak properly, we will not only hurt others, but also ourselves. As a Buddhist, not only do not use bad words to hurt people, but also actively give love and soft words to make people happy and have good relations. As the saying goes, "win the hearts of the people first, then get the Buddha", so orthodoxy is a big reason to become a Buddhist.
Fourth, live an upright life: an upright life refers to a just economic life and a way of making a living. For example, it is not normal to open casinos, restaurants, shops selling fishing gear, shotguns and slaughterhouses. Like fortune tellers, caring about birthdays should not be done, or even done.
Proper economic life is to set aside some money for charity, help those in need and protect the Buddhist cause beyond the needs of daily life, which not only becomes the net wealth of Xinglong Buddhism, but also broadens the karma for itself. But only under the condition of "no self-suffering, no self-annoyance" is it legal.
Finally, I want to tell those who convert to the Three Treasures: "All Buddhism is perfected by good knowledge. Therefore, after converting to Sambo, you should always return to your permanent Dojo, get close to good knowledge and listen to teachings. If you can often read the three treasures, you will naturally be blessed.
