Want to test whether a person has practiced?It depends on whether he is thinking about fame and fortune (Master Xuanhua)

Master Xuanhua 2025-01-24

realPracticePeople stay away from fame and fortune

Don't shake his heart for fame and fortune

Master Xuanhua’s compassionate teachings:

When a person who practices Zen reaches the temperature, he will never lose his temper or argue with others, and will reach the state of Samadhi of No Controversy.Neither seeking fame nor profit, but seeing wealth and honor become dew among flowers, fame and fortune become frost on the tiles, and disappear without a trace in an instant.

True practitioners stay away from fame and fortune and do not shake their hearts for fame and fortune.If you want to test whether a person has practiced?It depends on whether what he does is thinking about fame and fortune.

If you can't get fame, you will lose your temper. If you can't get fame, you will lose your temper. That ignorant fire, the tiger god, is better than anyone else. If you don't ask, you will know that this person must be a person of fame and fortune.

Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty went to Zhenjiang Jinshan Temple to enjoy the scenery of the Yangtze River. He asked Zen Master Faqing: "How many ships are there in the Yangtze River in a day?”

The Zen master said: "There are only two boats coming and going.”

Qianlong asked in confusion: "How did you know there were only two boats?”

The Zen master said: "A boat is for fame, and a boat is for profit.”

From this we can see that all those who take the boat are either for fame or for profit. However, they do not know that those who seek fame die in fame, and those who seek profit die in fame, and finally go to see King Yama with nothing, as the saying goes: "You can't take anything with you, only karma is with you.”

If a practitioner has no temper, can endure humiliation and endure hardship, he will become a magic weapon, be a pillar of Buddhism, and carry forward Buddhism;Anyone who loves to lose his temper destroys Buddhism and becomes a black sheep.

Congratulated from "The Book of Teachings of Master Xuanhua (III)"

You observe this person who practices Taoism,

Where to observe?

Just observe whether he keeps the Buddha's precepts or not

Master Xuanhua’s compassionate teachings:

It is not easy to see a truly practicing Taoist person in the Dharma-Ending Age. Don’t listen to this monk’s reputation as a great person;The greater the reputation of a monk, the more problematic it is.

Because what?To engage in fame and fortune, we will make it very loud for ourselves;Once the fame becomes loud, the benefits will come. This is not trueBuddhist。True Buddhists need to practice, not fame and fortune, everyone should understand this.

Do you observe whether you are a real monk:

You have to observe whether he is more determined than anyone else?

Is it more greedy than anyone else?

Is he asking for something every day for rich people?

Is he selfish?

Is it self-interest?

Are you lying to deceive others?

You need to use these six methods to observe a monk. It is true or false, and you will see it at a glance.

Where do you observe this practitioner?Just observe whether he observes the Buddha's precepts or not.He is very strict and does not violate the precepts. This is a true Buddhist.If he said he was a Buddhist, an elder, or something, but he secretly committed lust and did not let people know, he must not be a true Buddhist.

Or you can engage in fame and fortune, and make your fame very loudly for yourself. Once your fame is loud, your profit will follow. This is not a real Buddhist.True Buddhists need to practice, not fame and fortune, everyone should understand this.
