Master Kong Jing: Why did the Buddha put forward the idea of "making merits with pleasure"?

Master Kong Jing revealed:

There are too many good and evil in the world. Why the Buddha specially put forward the idea of "following happiness and making merits" is really meaningful. Buddha knows that the troubles and habits of all sentient beings are infinitely accumulated, and every sentient being has them. What habit? Greed, greed, stupidity, slowness, arrogance and jealousy, the habits brought by life, don't be taught by others. If you look carefully, you will find that children and babies can't talk yet, and babies who are a few months old can't talk yet. Two babies of the same age are put together, one baby has sugar to eat, the other baby has no sugar to eat, and the other one is jealous. Who taught him? Nobody taught him. Accompanying the merits and demerits comes the treatment of arrogance and jealousy, especially jealousy. Jealousy and arrogance are sins, which are extremely heavy, and when they turn out in an instant, they become infinite merits. In an instant, it turned out to be merit, which is the difference between a Buddha and an ordinary man. All beings can't turn around and flow with their troubles to the six paths of life and death; The difference between the buddhas and bodhisattvas is boundless. Therefore, we should learn to spin and spin fast. After you turn around, your decision makes no difference to how much merit a person has accumulated. I definitely don't mean that this person has great merit and great merit, but I have little merit in happiness. Without this, the decision is equally big. It is really difficult for people to repair products. You are as good as him when you are happy. See how much you take advantage of.

You know this truth. Buddhism gives us the opportunity to turn the merits of Amitabha into our own. How to turn? Just follow this sutra. What the Buddha said in this sutra teaches us to "receive, read and speak to others". As long as you do these three sentences, you will turn Amitabha's boundless merits into your own. We often say that if we are United with Amitabha, share the same wish, heart and mind, we will turn the merits of Amitabha into our own. This is the first-rate intelligent man in the world. We are going to repair the merits of Amitabha, and just ourselves, which disaster are you going to repair? In the short decades of our life, as long as you understand this truth, this method and decades of practice are Amitabha's practice of infinite robbery, and we can really achieve "thinking and robbing". So don't miss this opportunity easily, you must seize this opportunity and achieve a complete merit in your life.
