Why is Buddhism more influential than traditional religion in China?

There is no Buddha in heaven and earth, and the world of ten sides is unparalleled. I have seen everything in the world, and nothing is like Buddha.

You should know that the six divisions in the wheel of desire are: heaven, human, Asura, hungry ghost, hell and beast. Do you know what the sky means? It refers to all heaven and man, including the Jade Emperor. All sentient beings (six sentient beings) in the six divisions of the Karma Wheel have a lower status than all sentient beings (such as Buddha, Bodhisattva, Jue Yuan and Wensheng) outside the six divisions of the Karma Wheel. Only the six divisions in the wheel of karma (such as Buddha, Bodhisattva, Jue Yuan and Wensheng) are the most expensive. That is to say (there are only four sacred dharma circles), Buddha, Bodhisattva, Vishnu Buddha and Arhat are the biggest.

Guess "Jade Emperor" and "Lohan", who is more expensive and who is lighter?

A: Luo Hangui. Because the Jade Emperor (also known as the Emperor of Heaven, that is, Heaven, is still within the six divisions of the Karma Wheel and has not escaped from the Three Realms) is a six-way ordinary man who has not escaped from the misery of life and death, while Arhat (Supreme Fruit, beyond the six divisions of the Karma Wheel, has surpassed the Three Realms) is a saint who has completely escaped from the misery of life and death. So arhat is more expensive. He is the superior of heaven and earth (Indra of Buddha, the same level as the Christian god, namely the Jade Emperor). When the Emperor of Heaven sees Arhat, he should sincerely bow and kowtow. You should know that Heaven Emperor (that is, Heaven is within the six divisions of causal cycle) is Wang Di within the Three Realms, and is the boss within the Three Realms. But after all, he is six ordinary people who have not surpassed the three realms, and there is also the possibility of falling into endless hell. According to Tibetan scriptures, the endless hell is called the endless hell for four reasons: whether men or women, race, age, height, dragons, gods, heaven (heaven refers to the jade emperor, also known as the heavenly emperor) or ghosts, they all feel guilty and suffer the same in this hell, so they are called the endless hell. If you look closely, have you ever said that the four sacred dharma circles (such as Buddha, Bodhisattva, Jue Yuan and Wensheng) may also fall into endless hell? Because the feeling of the Four Saints is a supreme fruit, which has reached the other side of immortality. Those who transcend the six realms and are not in the three realms are saints who have completely escaped the pain of life and death, that is, they will never enter endless hell. You know, not only Luohan is more expensive than Tiandi, but all the Buddhas outside the Three Realms are more expensive than Tiandi. For example: Dragon Lohan, Crouching Tiger Lohan, Deer Lohan, Long Eyebrow Lohan, etc. All other (her) Anahan, Stohan and Suda are older than the Heavenly Emperor, do you know?

Heaven is heaven, and heaven is still in the six realms and three realms. It is six ordinary people who have not yet escaped the misery of life and death. The four sacred dharma circles (such as Buddha, Bodhisattva, Jue Yuan and Wensheng) are the highest fruits, reaching the immortal realm. And beyond the six realms, he is a saint who is completely out of the pain of life and death. Heaven (Emperor of Heaven) may also fall into endless hell, but the probability is very small. All beings in the Four Holy Dharma Boundaries will never fall into endless hell, and the probability of possibility is completely zero. Heaven (the Emperor of Heaven, also known as the Jade Emperor) is lower than the four sacred dharma circles (such as Buddha, Bodhisattva, Vishnu Buddha and Arhat), and the four sacred dharma circles are also his superiors. Simply divide it into: Buddha's eldest brother, Bodhisattva's second child, Buddha's third child, Arhat's fourth child, and Tianwu.

Like people in our South Jambu-Di^pa world, the Emperor of Heaven also recited the names of Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Ji De. Neither Buddha nor Bodhisattva.

Hua Yan Jing once said: "Our sentient beings have created a deep karma, created many disasters and made people miserable. The Jade Emperor was ordered by Sudo. In the past, I bowed down to Guanyin Bodhisattva for seven days and seven nights and begged the Bodhisattva for mercy to eliminate disasters and increase happiness. " It can be seen how kind the Jade Emperor is!

Buddhism divides all sentient beings into ten categories, that is, the ten dharma realms. Buddha, Bodhisattva, Jue Yuan, Vincent, Heaven and Man, Asura, man, beast, hungry ghost and hell. The top four are the six divisions in the wheel of karma, freed from the saints of life and death. The last six are ordinary people who have not been freed from the cycle of life and death. In other words, we should live forever according to what we do, whether it is good or bad, whether it is high or low, and be dominated by karma. At the beginning of a new life, when good deeds are mature, people, heaven and Asura will enjoy a beautiful life. If the bad karma is mature, it will be forced to turn to the three evil ways and be born. There is no fixed realm in life. They are all drawn by good and evil karma to feel different lives of bitterness and joy. The Jade Emperor was born in heaven because of his good deeds. But after the end of this life, I will be dragged by good and evil, and then reincarnated in other ways. So he has to be dragged by karma to survive in six environments, good and bad. However, in the Six Paths, there is less joy and more bitterness. Achieving goodness is like a person falling into the sea for a long time. He just came out to catch his breath and fell down again. Very bitter. All beings in the Four Saints' Dharma World are saints who have escaped from the misery of life and death and are no longer degenerate. Guanyin Bodhisattva is, of course, a saint who walks out of the sea of life and death and gets happiness from suffering. And the jade emperor also suffered a lot because of this blessing. If he had bad karma in the past, he would take three evil paths to live, be an animal, be a hungry ghost and go to hell. This has been going on. Because you didn't achieve employment, what goes around comes around, and good and evil are rewarded. The Buddha lived from generation to generation, preaching the consciousness of all beings and learning the law of life and death. So that all sentient beings can break the mystery and realize the Tao according to his method, get rid of the bitterness and joy, and finally become a Buddha.

In Buddhism, which level is higher, Guanyin Bodhisattva or Jade Emperor?

Next:

Buddha-Bodhisattva (Mahayana)-Vishnu Buddha (Yuanjue)-Arhat (sound and smell). Then there are three fruit positions: Anahan (three fruits), Stohan (two fruits) and Suda (the first fruit).

Above, the first four are saints, who have been freed from life and death. Although the latter three have not been freed from life and death for the time being, they can be freed even if they bear fruit for the first time, and they can go back and forth for seven days at most. So, these beings. No longer ordinary people.

Then down:

Heaven and Man (including Jade Emperor)-Asura-Man-Beast-Hungry Ghost-Hell.

These six sentient beings (six sentient beings), although the results of good and evil are different. The first three are called "three good roads" and the last three are called "three evil roads". However, there is no essential difference: they are all ordinary people, and no one can escape life and death. It is entirely possible to fall into hell and rise and fall in the Six Roads. For example, the cloud "You Spit Plug to Solve Classics" says:

"All the pagans, and so on. Long life, if you don't separate, you should be regarded as a person in hell. " (think about the highest realm in the sky; The separation method is a partial separation method; At least it is the first fruit of hearing.

As mentioned above, the combination of "six sects and four saints" is "ten dharma realms have feelings" covering all sentient beings. It should be noted that the ten dharma circles all have feelings, each with its own "Buddha nature" and all have the possibility of becoming a Buddha. Therefore, the Buddhas enlightened all beings, freed themselves from life and death, and even became Buddhas.

By establishing the above knowledge, the landlord can understand that the Jade Emperor and Guanyin Bodhisattva are both ordinary people and sages. It's like a world.

All beings become Buddhas after all!

Nanwu teacher Sakyamuni Buddha.

This question should start from the ten dharma circles. The Buddha told us that the world of Guanyin, that is, the space containing our earth, consists of ten different energy spaces, which are divided into six realms and four sacred realms. The six realms are what we often call "the six divisions in the wheel of karma", namely, Heaven (immortal realm), Ashura (half man and half god), Humanity (us), Bypass (animal), Hungry Ghost, Hell, and all beings in it. The four sacred realms are composed of practitioners who are completely aware of the truth of the universe and have no worries and love desires. It is divided into four levels of life: the study of smelling the sound track (smelling the Buddha and realizing the Tao), the study of Yuanjue Taoism (having no chance to smell the Buddha but being able to experience the Tao personally), the study of Bodhisattva Taoism and Buddhism.

Therefore, the highest level of the jade emperor's six realms, the celestial giant, is the supreme god, but it is still in the six divisions of the wheel of karma. For all immortals, he is a leader, so he is called "God Head". For the preparatory staff of becoming a Buddha, he is a young man, so he is called "Buddha's tail", that is, "God's head and Buddha's tail"; Buddha is the highest level of the four sacred realms, and Tathagata is another name for Buddha. Guanyin Bodhisattva is second only to Buddha, and they are four or five grades higher than the Jade Emperor!

Arhat University, of course. You should know that the fruit position of all beings in the four sacred realms is always supreme. And beyond the three realms, reached the realm of immortality. Although the Jade Emperor is the most advanced of the six realms, he is still in the six realms and three realms, and he will suffer from reincarnation after all.

The realm of four saints is a saint who has escaped the suffering of life and death and will never fall again. Will it never be dominated by the three evil ways? Bitterness is a saint who has completely escaped from the misery of life and death. However, the jade emperor suffered a lot from this blessing. If he has done evil things in the past, he will be dragged down by karma, that is, he will fall into three evil ways, and he will also be an animal, a hungry ghost and go to hell. He is a six-way ordinary man who has never been beyond the misery of life and death. The jade emperor is lower than the four sages, who are also his superiors.

The jade emperor wants to worship when he sees Sudo. Because it is recorded on the Buddhist website: "When the Jade Emperor sees Sudo, he will kneel down and worship, and all orders, orders, wills and orders of Sudo will not be disobeyed. Sudoku calls itself "this seat" in front of the jade emperor, and the jade emperor doesn't even dare to look up at Sudoku. And that's what the Buddhist book says.
