Master Yin Guang’s teachings to young people: Abide by morality and be a human being
In today's world, people's hearts are extremely bad.All the ways, virtue, benevolence, righteousness, filial piety, kindness, integrity and integrity that are passed down by sages are abandoned.Anyone who cannot bear to see or talk about what he said in the past strongly advocates and hopes that it will be carried out consistently.There are countless places where men and women fall in love freely, and they are hugging each other naked and dancing.In the university, paint nude paintings in order to improve art.Art can make progress, and we will never worry about the regression of human nature and the progress of animal nature? You are young, so you must know that you must not get poisonous in this evil saying of ethics and principles.Then later, he could still stand between heaven and earth without any shame.Otherwise, what is the benefit of being a good person for oneself and others? You must know that if you have any karma or retribution, you may be happy, even if you fail to see it for a while, you will never see it after decades.What’s more, after death, in the next life, ordinary people don’t know about it?
The deterioration of the world today is because Confucians do not believe in cause and effect and retribution and reincarnation.The Neo-Confucian scholars stole the essence of Buddhist scriptures and used the Confucianism to save all living beings by using the Buddha's way of saving sentient beings. They said that they were deceiving the foolish and vulgarities, which led to the retribution of the Confucian scholars who refused to persuade them with cause and effect, life and death, and reincarnation. Everyone believed that it was there or nothing, so the world was becoming increasingly popular, and there were few people who had the spirit of being on the sky and walking on the earth and not following the customs.As soon as the European wind arrives, the Xu Ran wind follows, and it becomes more and more severe, thus becoming the world today.Human feelings are like water, and etiquette is like a dike. If you get rid of the dike of etiquette, can you not flow in a way? Since human desires flow in a way, etiquette is done to work hard, so you feel that the flood is everywhere, river embankments and river ditches are destroyed everywhere, and many people are flooded to death.Some people who have not died have no clothes, food, or housing, and call them cold and hungry, and cannot bear to see and hear.Even if there are people who like good people donate from many sources, it is difficult to spread the contents of many people.The river dikes and river ditches require more money.If you do not practice, the water will flow from small to large.If you practice, you will not have such financial resources.Besides, bandits are rampant, with the north and the south intervening and foreign aggression.The people at this moment are really pitiful and complacent, and there is no accusation.
You and the other two are still young and must abide by the old morality.The eight words filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty, trustworthiness, etiquette, righteousness, integrity, and shame are the rules and regulations for being a human being.If a person does not devote himself to these eight things, it is called the eight characters of death.Once the eight characters are destroyed, they will become beasts in clothes and clothes.The most difficult thing for a person to control is lust.In today's world, we aim to guide desires and teach lust.Even if you have the good deeds of your ancestors, you will not be able to surpass them greatly. You must be trembling and defend yourself so that you can be worthy of your ancestors.If you do not focus on establishing your character and suffer from lust, you will decide to achieve nothing later, or you may die if you die in a short life.Now I send you two parts of "Historical Synopsis", which are the remarkable deeds of cause and effect in the twenty-four histories.The two books "Jiayan Lu" are the key ways to study Buddhism and the routine of self-cultivation. You should read them in detail.The saying that chanting Namo Amitabha Buddha is a wonderful way to eliminate karma and transform ordinary people into saints.If you can recite it regularly, your mind will naturally be open, and you will know and return to the right principles, and reading and doing things will be of great benefit.Moreover, now it is a difficult world. If you think about it, you can turn bad luck into good fortune and good fortune in times of trouble. You cannot fully explain the benefits. You should follow the "Jia Yan Lu"."Shoukang Baojian", young people protect themselves, etc., if you look at it, you will not wander with desire or masturbate.Most of the young people today suffer from masturbation. This is a sharp sword that really kills you, so you should avoid it.
Your brother, Jin, is the one who is good at raising Confucianism through Buddhism, and has long prayed to Guang to write a letter to encourage you.If you are a school of descent, it will be contrary to the Buddha. It will only cost me my heart and will be of no use to you, so I will not write to you immediately.Now that you know your brother's kindness, you come to write and ask for advice, you have to talk about it in important places.If you are willing to do the rest, it will be easy to understand it gradually after a long time.
It is necessary to know that man, heaven and earth are called the three talents.Who can know how high and thick the heaven and earth are? With a six-foot body, how can a person be called together with this unpredictable heaven and earth? It is because people can continue the past saints and learn from the future, which is the transformation and cultivation of towering heaven and earth.If a man cannot be loyal to his moral integrity, he will be free from evil and sincere, and do not do any evil. He will do all good deeds and lose his reputation.What's more, do you think of mechanical deception and the strong as your heart? Is it better to be a jackal, wolf, tiger, leopard, poisonous snake, and evil scorpion? Can you still be called a human being? Always remember my words and do not forget them, and you can gradually enter the realm of sages and wise men to enjoy the blessing of benevolence and longevity.The book "Zhengxin Lu" was specially designed for Confucian scholars. I am also sent here now. Please read it in detail.If you are willing to believe deeply and practice hard, you will be worthy of the world and ghosts and gods, and will be a perfect person in the world.Don’t care about fame, wealth and honor, but the auspicious people will never be difficult.If you think about it well, then this life will not be a waste.
Master Yin Guang: "Book of Deheng for Ning and Defu Jushi"
In modern times, most young people have lost their desires, or they are indulged in their hearts, or they are in love with their wives and concubines, or they are fooled and secretly hurt their spirits, or they masturbate and give up their treasures.Therefore, he is weak and timid and has aging before he grows old.No achievements have been achieved in knowledge and career.Even the children born are weak and may be difficult to establish.And your life span cannot last as long as your life, so how can you not be sad? You may also suffer from the above diseases. If there is, you will correct them, and if there is no, you will encourage them.

You are still young, so you should work hard to be a human being.We must be filial to our parents, be close to virtuous people, and stay away from absurd people.We must be idle with evil and sincerity, restrain ourselves and return to courtesy, do not do any evil, and do all good.Nowadays, it is a world of trouble. The disaster cannot be predicted. It is impossible to avoid it and it is difficult to prevent it.If you can recite Amitabha Buddha and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva frequently, there will be an incredible change in the dark, so that you can turn bad luck into good fortune and bring good fortune in times of misfortune. (What is said to be auspicious is not to have something particularly good, and not suffer when you encounter a disaster, which is a great auspiciousness. )In today's world, people's hearts are extremely bad. They abolish the scriptures, filial piety, ethics, avoid shame, kill fathers, and mothers, and they are eager to promote it, and they want to make no difference between people and animals before they can be happy.The reason is that it has never been discussed in terms of cause and effect and family education.Those who are smart people study, but only learn a skill of mechanical deception.Therefore, when I heard this kind of evil saying, I would gather in this kind of evil team like duckweed following the wind.Although the crime is committed by that, in fact, the parents will get half of it.Why? It is because I have not taught well since I was a child and taught him the skills of mechanical deception.Since you know your good or bad luck, you should go on the right path.Don’t walk on the right path, then the heavens will be respected by others. The family will prosper and the descendants will become virtuous.Even if you have become familiar with your past career or have a situation of adversity, it is not because of your good study. Only when you have this adversity and blame others, can you be worthy of studying and studying Buddhism.I pray that I will carefully and implement it.
Excerpted from Master Yin Guang: "Reply to the Book of Mr. Fu Falin"
The two sons came to listen together and should try their best to persuade them to learn well.If you want to learn well, you must first start by establishing your determination and establishing your character and knowing the cause and effect.If you don’t set your goals, you will have no interest.If you do not establish a character, you will be despicable.If you do not know the cause and effect, you will not be able to relax with evil thoughts and have sincerity, and you will definitely flow into the realm of villains without realizing it.
