"Lengyan Sutra" emphasizes the idea that "internal demons do not grow, and external demons cannot rise.". "Things in the world are connected by Tao. You can not be obsessed, take, move, or cling to the demons in your heart, whether they are joyful or terrifying. They can't destroy you.
If a person wants to be possessed by demons, you should review yourself. You should bear at least half of the responsibility. Although the devil interferes with you, you should bear half of the responsibility. Therefore, when we meet any realm, we must be calm and empty, and do not turn around. This is very important.
Some people are easy to see ghosts, while others are not. Why? Because you often think about ghosts in your heart. If there are ghosts in this place and ghosts in that place, you can easily communicate with them. Just as we chant Buddhism, "if all beings remember Buddha and chant Buddha, we must see Buddha now. "We often remember the Buddha, and now we must see him.
A man of practice always wants to think about the West all day long. I want to have supernatural powers. What I want to see, what I see, you will be in trouble sooner or later. When we practice, we must be inward and settle in.
Some people are born afraid of ghosts, while others are not afraid of ghosts. Why is there such a difference?
From the perspective of Chinese five skills, some people are afraid of ghosts when they are light, but they are not afraid of ghosts when they are heavy. From the perspective of consciousness, I think: Why are you afraid of ghosts? In fact, you are afraid of the delusions in your heart, that is, you will make a lot of assumptions about ghosts, think that they will hurt you, that they will eat you, or how.
In fact, not every ghost is terrible. In fact, ghosts also have good ghosts. Ghosts are like sentient beings. They just have criminal karma, so they become ghosts. Generally speaking, from the perspective of consciousness, a person who likes to think nonsense is more afraid of ghosts, because you make up a lot of images to make yourself afraid. So some people say: the death of cancer is not killed by cancer cells, but you are afraid of death. It is you who change the image of the ghost in your heart, and then that image frightens you.
When you have been practicing for a long time, you will slowly eliminate that image; then you will have compassion again. In fact, he is also an affectionate person. Why does he hurt you? Why does he hurt you? Slowly, you will know that ghosts are no different from you. In fact, if you are afraid of him, you will be afraid if you are a little bit angry. People with strong opposites will also be afraid. Therefore, we often cultivate the concept of equality, and the fear will be reduced. If no one is afraid of others, it is equal.
