Khenpo Dazhen: Why is the merit of observing the Eight Precepts now greater than that of the Dharma-Relief period?

Tibetan Master 2014-11-05

ask:Why is the merit of observing the Eight Precepts now greater than the merit of observing the Eight Precepts during the Dharma period?

answer:Now it is time for the decline and disappearance of Buddhism. Now observing the Eight Precepts is much more merit than when the Buddha is alive and the Buddha is prosperous.Because it was not very difficult to practice this method at that time.Because the environment and other conditions are met, the Buddha's blessing power is also very great. Many times, the Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha personally led everyone to take the precepts.The power of the Buddha, the solemnity of the Buddha, the blessing and persuasion of the Buddha are very, very great, so everyone believes in it, is particularly pious, and everyone has achieved success. Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to observe the Eight Precepts, and it is easy to do.But now it is different. It is already the Dharma-Ending Age, and it is time for the weak Dharma and the demons to be strong.At this time, the magic power is particularly strong. People do not have correct knowledge and views in their hearts. Evil thoughts and views are very serious. Everything they think is greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, and doubt, and what they say and do is kill, steal, adultery, lying, and wine.

If the Buddha is not by our side, we sentient beings have shallow blessings and wisdom, deep karma, few right knowledge and right views, and many evil thoughts and wrong views.The conditions for practicing Dharma are very poor, and the conditions for creating evil karma are very sufficient. You can create karma everywhere and every day.At this time, we have great merits when we observe the Eight Precepts, which are thousands of times more merits than when the Buddha was alive.
