Lotus flower Sutra Volume 7 The 25th grade GuanShiYin Bodhisattva
Master Xuanhua
The name of this product is to do common goods, which has many meanings. Now let's talk about this "medicine bead". Because of the "medicine bead", so it is called "common products".
What is medicine? "Medicine" is the medicine King tree; What is "Pearl"? "Pearl" is Ruyi pearl. What is the medicine King tree? A long time ago, a man went to the mountain to cut firewood, and the firewood he cut back was carried to the market to sell. When he met a doctor, the doctor saw that his load of firewood was full of light, so he bought his load of firewood back. Open the firewood at home and have a look. There is a king of medicine tree inside. After the doctor got the medicine King tree, no matter what the disease was, he only used the barley tree to knock on the patients or beat them gently. No matter what the disease was, he was completely cured and saved many people. Because of this, it is called the "king of medicine tree".
"Pearl" is Ruyi pearl. What is Ruyi Baozhu? Ruyi means to fulfill your wishes, that is to make you happy and satisfied. Meet your needs, fulfill your desires. If you want to eat good food, Ruyi beads will show good things instead of buying them. You want to wear good clothes, as long as you think about this Ruyi pearl: "I want the most beautiful, the rarest clothes in the world." At this time, Ruyi Baozhu shows the clothes you like to wear. Even if you want a house, it can show up. You think, "I want to have the most luxurious room in the evening." The jewel appeared in the house, and after one night's stay, the house returned to Ruyi pearl automatically the next day. If you want to eat, what ruyizhu shows is neither more nor less, just right. You don't need to prepare clothes rack when you wear clothes. As long as you take off clothes, it will automatically return to Ruyi bead, so it is called "Ruyi". How big is Ruyi bead? It's a very small bead that can be carried with you at any time. It's not heavy and doesn't take up space. So it's called Ruyi pearl. It's as good as you want. It's wonderful. In short, it is called "Ruyi pearl". GuanShiYin Bodhisattva is also the same as this medicine King tree, this wishful pearl, can fulfill one's wish. As long as you can recite all the things you want, you will be able to fulfill your wish. But not today, tomorrow will work. A solid foundation must be laid first. If the foundation of a building is not good, there will be no way for the building to be built. Although the inspiration of "Pu men pin" is just like that of Yao Wang Shu and Ruyi Zhu, you should first read it, read it every day, and read it to Guanyin Bodhisattva. He thinks you are qualified and thinks that you have this sincerity. Then you can ask for Ruyi and fulfill your wish. It's not that I haven't read it at ordinary times, and I want to seek inspiration at that time. You must practice hard at ordinary times. When the time comes, the "common gate" will be like the king of medicine tree and Ruyi pearl. It has incredible subtlety, but you should first read it yourself.
Some people say, "there are so many things to learn in Buddhism! We recite the Shurangama mantra and the great compassion mantra. Now when we talk about the" universal goods ", we have to recite the" universal goods ". With so much homework, how can we have so much time You don't need a lot of time. You can do all these things as long as you sleep less and talk less. If you don't want to fulfill your wish and say that I have no desire, I have no greed, anger or infatuation, then you don't need to read at all, and there is nothing to say. If you think that you may encounter something in the future and want to ask Guanyin or Buddha for help, you should learn more about Buddhism. Buddha Dharma is like the sea. If you don't drink a drop, it will be too much. In the future, the water in the sea will not be able to drink. However, as long as you do your best, you can drink as much as you need. Buddhism is inexhaustible. So do your best to use the Dharma.
Because of the meaning of "medicine bead", it is necessary to say this common product.
Another meaning is "Xianmi". "Obvious" means obvious; Secret is secret. The reason is that you recite the universal quality of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Sometimes, you get obvious induction; Sometimes, get a secret sense. The obvious feeling is that everyone can see and everyone knows. For example, the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara rescued all living beings and said on the universal goods: "set fire, fire cannot burn." When the Bodhisattva GuanShiYin on the Lengyan Sutra said that "fire cannot be burned, the nature fire is vacuum, and the nature is empty and true fire." For example, if you are sitting in your room and you are absorbed in the thought of Guanyin Bodhisattva, you will not burn your house even if your neighbor's house is burned as long as you can sincerely recite Guanyin Bodhisattva. But it has to be unintentional, not intentional. If you try to light a fire on purpose, will my house burn? That's bound to burn! Why? Because you want to test Guanyin Bodhisattva, just because you believe it or not, you have to try it. It's like a person who has a friend who wants to know whether this friend is sincere to me or not, and whether he is a good person who can not find any money. So when my friend came, he deliberately put 500 yuan underground. I don't have to look at him. If he's a good man, he won't take the money. Why do you test your friends? Just because you don't really know this friend and don't know whether he is a real good man, you try him out. Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara said in the Sutra: "set fire, fire can not burn." If you don't have faith in this, Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara won't take care of your business. You want to commit suicide and jump into the sea and say, "I jump into the sea to see if I get a shallow place?" If you speculate on the magical power of Guanyin Bodhisattva by experiment, it shows that you have no faith in Bodhisattva. If you don't have faith in Bodhisattva, he doesn't want to meddle. You say, "how can I know if it's true or false if I don't test it?" You know it's true, so what? You don't know it's true, so what? If you know that you have to eat and dress for a day, then why do you want to make a fuss?
Obviously, it is known by everyone. If the neighbor's house is burned and your house doesn't burn, isn't it "obvious"? As we all know, "ah! That man has a feeling when he reads Guanyin Bodhisattva. It's really wonderful for him to believe in Buddhism." There is induction, this is "show.".
There are secrets. Secret: if you had a disaster, or you should have fallen into the sea and drowned, but the Avalokitesvara sensed it, so that you would not encounter this danger, and secretly eliminated your disaster. This is called secret. This man should have been burned, but because he believed in Guanyin Bodhisattva, he quietly relieved him of his disaster. This is also a secret induction. Even if you take a plane, you should be in an accident; Although the traffic is convenient now, there are more deaths. Sometimes there are plane crashes, train crashes, bus crashes, and many people die. In this case, because you read the common gate, because you recite the great compassion mantra, because you believe in Guanyin Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva is in silence, also known as the underworld. In a word, what people don't know, he will turn evil into good for you. As the saying goes, "good luck turns out in good times, and misfortune brings good fortune."
So, In order to "show the secret" relationship, so we say this "universal goods".
