Discrimination of words

[example]: Xia Yan's "two or three things about Comrade Kenong": "you have to recognize that in this period, this place has to deal with Bodhisattvas and evil spirits." Bodhisattva, the Sanskrit Bodhisattva, the Chinese word "Bodhisattva", is an old translation. In the new translation, Yun Jue has feelings, Bodhi is Tao, and Saku is brave and righteous. Bodhisattva's wish is to mourn all living beings, so he bravely seeks Tao. Bodhisattva also translated into Kaishi, Dashi and so on. Those who develop great wisdom, Bodhisattva's great wisdom, great compassion and great wish are virtuous and educated. Buddhists always call them mahayanas who seek Buddha's fruit. Usually people think that clay sculptures and wood carvings are bodhisattvas. In fact, they just make the spiritual image of Bodhisattvas for people to remember, worship and worship, and imitate their practice. Anyone who has such a spirit of compassion and wisdom can be called a Bodhisattva no matter whether he is a monk or at home. In order to practice Bodhisattva's will, Buddhists need to practice six degrees of paramita (paramita is the ultimate meaning) - giving, keeping precepts, enduring humiliation, diligence, meditation and Prajna. Giving includes wealth giving, Dharma giving, internal giving, external giving and all kinds of giving, such as sacrificing one's body to become benevolence and Sakyamuni sacrificing one's body to feed an eagle. Keep the precepts. Mahayana's Bodhisattva Precepts not only stop the evil Dharma, but also actively implement the good Dharma. Humiliation, Bodhisattva's forbearance, is a manifestation of intelligence. There are two kinds of internal and external improvement: diligent cultivation of precepts, determination of wisdom, and vowing to eliminate greed, anger and infatuation. Meditation is to eliminate evil and meditate. Only when Bodhisattvas have the skill of meditation can they arouse wisdom and make great use of it. Finally, Prajna is translated as wonderful wisdom, which can solve the puzzles and open the fundamental wisdom of wisdom, and it is the difference wisdom to practice and maintain the corresponding facilities. Those who can actively practice these six degrees inside and outside are called great bodhisattvas. Such as great wisdom, Manjusri, great compassion, Avalokitesvara, great practice, great wish, king of Tibetans, and great power are the highest examples of Bodhisattva in Buddhism. The above is quoted from Wang Aijun's anthology "the path of Bodhisattva".

basic content

The status of Bodhisattva is second only to the Buddha. It is a person who helps the Buddha spread the Dharma and save all living beings. Bodhisattva was a male image in ancient Indian Buddhism. After it spread to China, with the deep popularity of Bodhisattva belief and its deep human feelings for the world, it gradually turned into a gentle and kind female image. In Buddhist sculptures, Bodhisattvas are often dressed in the costumes of ancient Indian and Chinese nobles, which is particularly gorgeous and elegant. In the Hinayana period when Buddhism was founded, only Prince Siddhartha, who was the predecessor of Sakyamuni's practice for many generations and had not yet become a Buddha, was called a Bodhisattva. After the founding of Mahayana Buddhism, according to the theory of "everyone has the Buddha nature, everyone can become a Buddha", all those who set a grand wish, seek the Buddha's way and transform all living beings are called Bodhisattvas. Later, the name became more extensive and secularized. People also called those Temple monks and home residents who were proficient in Buddhism and had high virtue and popularity as Bodhisattvas. The task of Bodhisattva is to turn all living beings in reincarnation into Buddhas. The Bodhisattvas in the temple are manjusrikum ā rabh ū TA, Samantabhadra, avalokite'svara and Ksitigarbha.

bodhisattva

It refers to "seeking the supreme Bodhi with wisdom and transforming all living beings with compassion", who practices all kinds of paramita actions and achieves the Buddha's fruit in the future; that is, those who pursue Bodhi with self-interest and self-interest. In short, seeking the Great Bodhi is sentimental, and the Bodhi Heart is "Bodhisattva". What is Bodhi Heart? It is widely said that Sihong vows: "boundless vows of all living beings, endless troubles, limitless vows, boundless vows of Buddhism and Taoism." However, to develop Bodhisattva mind is not to think of becoming a Buddha by chance, but to practice and achieve solid achievements. There are also three meanings in the theory of Buddha's land: "1. 2. Because of the Bodhisattva as the realm, it is called Bodhisattva. It is full of self-interest and altruism. It is a great wish to seek great Bodhisattva's interest. 3. Bodhisattva is brave and righteous. He strives for Great Bodhi with great courage, so he is called Bodhisattva Bodhisattva is a general term for learning Mahayana. From the beginning, to the end, Bodhisattva is shallow and deep. But most people always think of great bodhisattvas such as Guanyin, Maitreya and Manjusri, and they dare not call themselves Bodhisattvas. Although the new Bodhisattva has no great merit, he is the first of all living beings. He is respected not only by ordinary people, but also by sages.

classification

In addition to different Bodhisattvas' ranks according to the depth of understanding, Bodhisattvas' merits and virtues in volume 8 of Bodhisattva's earth holding Sutra also point out that there are ten kinds of Bodhisattvas: 1. 2. Initiation and development. 3. Not clean - has entered but not reached the pure heart. 4. Pure - enter the pure heart. 5. Unripe - the pure is not in the field. 6. Cooked into the ground. 7. Undecided - those who are familiar are not settled. 8. Settled - settled. 9. Get the highest Bodhi in one's life. 10. The last body - the supreme Bodhi in this life. In addition, it can be divided into two parts: being at home and becoming a monk, being born and becoming a monk, retreating and not retreating. A thought of evil is this shore, a thought of good is the other shore, and good and evil are all thrown away as Bodhisattvas. Bodhisattva's six degree practice is called "Bodhisattva's practice"; Bodhisattva's teaching for the purpose of reaching Buddha's fruit is called "Bodhisattva's riding"; Bodhisattva's precepts are called "Bodhisattva's precepts".
