Know the eight steps

The relationship with "understanding, acceptance and application"

The difference between "understanding, acceptance, and application" depends on the attitude of study and whether one can separate from the three faults and focus on the six thoughts.

The attitude model determines our "understanding, acceptance, and application" of the law, and also determines the extent of our benefit from the law. That is, whether one can complete changes in concepts, mentality, and quality of life through studying Buddhism.

The eight steps are a summary of the eighteen-character guideline in study and application. It is not only an effective learning method, but also contains the results to be achieved by learning Buddhism.

The eight steps are a methodology, a method for turning book theory into quality of life.

The first four steps are towards understanding and acceptance. The last four steps are to transform life through the inheritance of Buddhist teachings and apply them on the basis of understanding and acceptance.

There are two major misunderstandings in studying Buddhism.

One is more theoretical, talking about military matters on paper, and has little to do with settling down and settling down.

A kind of blind practice, the inner troubles remain the same, and the study of Buddhism and life are divided into two.

Buddhism has both theory and practice. It is a systematic project from teaching to life, from concepts to mental actions. Simply treating it as a theory, a practice technique, or even a way of life is incomplete.

Conceptual meditation:

The first step is to understand each sentence.

The second step is to understand the connotation of each paragraph.

Base

The third step is from discovering problems to solving them, from inheriting legal principles to building understanding.

How to do the first three steps specifically?

Understanding the meaning of law: Theoretical aspects.

Whether Buddhism can be used depends first on whether the theoretical understanding is complete, accurate and thorough.

The minimum requirement for "understanding": after each article, make a four-dimensional map to make the entire program clear. At the same time, we should go back to relevant audiovisuals and books, and study each lesson at least three times to understand what it is trying to tell us.

Have a complete, accurate and thorough understanding of the meaning of the law

Complete: to form a complete understanding, not just to understand one aspect, Otherwise, we will overgeneralize and affect our understanding of this issue.

Accuracy: We must listen and read repeatedly to understand what it is trying to tell us. Three times is the basic requirement. If time permits, listen more and think more to ensure there is no deviation in understanding.

Thoroughness: Only by fully and accurately understanding the meaning of the Dharma, and having a clear understanding of what it means, can the wisdom of the Dharma enter the mind continuum. The meaning of the Dharma must be deeply engraved in the heart and never forgotten, so that it can be used effectively when the realm appears.

Understanding the meaning of law: the practical level

Only when you understand it at the theoretical level can you compare, test and accept it at the practical level.

Observation repair: All problems must be returned to reality to compare, Only in this way can I implement Wen Sizhuan in my heart and truly become my own understanding.

The purpose of the Buddha's teachings is not to provide us with a set of theories and let us master some knowledge. Rather, it helps us understand the truth about life and the world, and find the key to unlocking treasures. Therefore, we must do observation and cultivation in connection with reality.

Wrong understanding based on ignorance brings endless troubles to life. Only through observation and seeing clearly that the truth of life and the world is exactly what the Dharma says, can we be sincerely convinced of the Dharma. Only in this way can the understanding be stable and deeply engraved in the heart.

The Buddha has said all the good things in the world, and the Dharma convinces us by relying on wisdom rather than anything else. Only by truly understanding and accepting it and forming your own understanding can you be confident and contagious when introducing Buddhism to others. Instead of parroting or repeating the words like a repeater.

The fourth step is to establish correct understanding, that is, the practice of concept.

Theoretical understanding

Theoretical insights

actual knowledge

Our outlook on life, values, and world view

Theories are seeds, listening and thinking are just seeds. Observation cultivation is the process of cultivating, sowing, and letting the seeds take root and sprout.

is the key

The first four steps: establish correct views and recognize the truth.

Mental meditation

The fifth step is to use concepts to establish a positive attitude.

Two frequently asked questions

Why can’t I use Buddhism?

The Fa has not yet become your understanding, how can you apply it?

I understand everything, but I just can’t do it?

In fact, there is insufficient understanding of the truth and insufficient understanding of the dangers involved. It just stays in the concept and does not have a heartfelt recognition and become a practical understanding.

What really makes a difference is practical knowledge.

Improve application. Application depends on the change of concepts and the depth of concepts.

The sixth step is to complete the mentality change.

Establish a correct understanding, re-observe the world, let the correct understanding take root in the heart, gradually replace the original wrong knowledge, and thus turn from the path of reincarnation to the path of liberation.

The change of mentality depends on the change of concept.

Meditation on quality of life

The seventh step is to repeat the positive attitude and change the quality of life.

Sweeping dust and descaling

Recognize the shortcomings of negative psychology, No longer enter the original track, no longer affirm it, recognize it, support it, and participate in it.

Turn into a net

We need to recognize the significance of positive psychology and pay attention to, appreciate, support and repeat it from time to time.

The eighth step is to complete the change in the quality of life.

The biggest difference between Buddha and sentient beings lies in the quality of life. Greed, anger, and ignorance contrast with perfect compassion and wisdom.

Determination of Virtue: Give up the ordinary mind and eliminate negative mental behaviors

Wisdom and compassion: achieve positive mental conduct and perfect infinite compassion and wisdom.
