#头条创作挑战赛#弥勒佛是佛教中的一位著名菩萨, seen as the embodiment of tolerance, compassion, and optimism. His story is full of wisdom and inspiration, let's uncover the legend of Maitreya Buddha together.
The story of Maitreya Buddha begins with his birth. Legend has it that in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, when a farmer went up the mountain to chop wood, he saw a huge wave on the riverside, like a dragon with teeth and claws, and there was a golden lotus flower in the middle of the huge waves, and this golden lotus did not go downstream, but upstream. The woodcutter couldn't believe what he was seeing, he rubbed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the huge golden lotus flower was gone, and he saw a pile of firewood, and in the middle of that pile of firewood and grass, there was a baby. When the woodcutter saw this, he was very happy and took the baby back to his home, and named it "Che Ji".
Since childhood, he has been imperceptibly educated by his adoptive father and adoptive mother, and he is dedicated to Buddha. Later, when he grew up, he became a monk, and he often carried a cloth bag on his back to go out to make a fortune, and distributed the things to the poor people. That's why people call him "Budai Monk". Maitreya Buddha is the embodiment of tolerance, compassion and optimism, and has always been to educate the world to educate all people as their responsibility, regardless of whether others are friendly to him or not, he is so tolerant of others, even if someone sneers at him and is very unfriendly to him, he is not angry, does not blame others, but in his own way to educate and move others, so that they realize their mistakes and correct themselves, so they are deeply loved by the people, Maitreya Buddha goes wherever his story is sung.
Maitreya Buddha was born in the world and became a Buddha
Recently, many cult organizations have falsely claimed that they were born from Maitreya Buddha, and under the banner of Maitreya Buddha, they have gone around swaggering and deceiving people, endangering society and causing many families to break up and their wives to break up.
In fact, about the time when Maitreya Buddha was born in the world and became a Buddha, the Buddhist scriptures say that after the extinction of Buddha Shakyamuni 4,000 years later, about 5.67 billion years after the current 5.67 billion years later, he will come to the world, and after a catastrophe, he will finally become a Buddha under the Longhua tree. Maitreya Buddha is one of the eight Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, calling him a Buddha, in fact, a Bodhisattva, because Shakyamuni Buddha once predicted that Maitreya Buddha will be born in the world in the future, his father is a prominent minister, his mother is a beautiful princess, he was born noble, and the Buddha became a monk, became a monk after adulthood, underwent the baptism of the Buddha, survived the disaster, and finally became enlightened under the Longhua tree, cultivated the positive fruit, became the successor of the Buddha Shakyamuni, succeeded the Buddha Shakyamuni, continued to concentrate on practice, and purified all sentient beings, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, the country can be smooth and the country and the people are safe。
Now it is still a long time before Maitreya Buddha was born in the world and becomes a Buddha, so those who say that Maitreya Buddha has been born cannot be believed, they are taking advantage of people's curiosity, using people's Buddha's heart to achieve their goals, their behavior endangers the safety of the public, and also destroys the unity of the people, it is a cult behavior, so we can't easily believe them.
In fact, no matter whether Maitreya Buddha was born in the world or not, we still have to do the good deeds that we should do. We need to learn from Maitreya Buddha and learn from his compassion, tolerance and optimism.
What does Maitreya Buddha represent
When it comes to what Maitreya Buddha represents, everyone may know that Maitreya Buddha is a Bodhisattva in Buddhism, one of the eight great Bodhisattvas, and the successor of Shakyamuni Buddha in the future. But when it comes to what he represents, many people may not know much about it. Maitreya Buddha represents people's yearning for the future and a better life.
Maitreya Buddha he has been with his own practical actions to influence the world, he incarnated as a cloth bag monk, the cloth bag does not leave the body, often carrying the cloth bag to walk the streets and alleys, everywhere to turn the fate, he will turn into food and clothing supplies to the poor people, so that the people are very fond of him, he is using his own actions, to guide people to be positive and good. He always smiles, no matter what else happens to him, he doesn't care, some people sneer at him, he never retaliates, when he encounters things, no matter how difficult he is, he is always smiling, as if nothing can bother him, and he never worries about the things in front of him.
He used his own behavior to tell us that we can't always be sad when we encounter things, happy is a day, unhappy is also a day, no matter whether we are happy or not, things are there, so we are optimistic and face it positively, maybe our minds will be broadened, and things will be thought clearly. In the eyes of those people, Maitreya Buddha is the embodiment of justice, he has been promoting Buddhism, guiding people to realize their mistakes, and actively correct their mistakes, abandon evil and follow good, help more people, and is the messenger who leads them to a better world.
Is Amitabha Buddha Maitreya Buddha
To the question of whether Amitabha Buddha is Maitreya Buddha, the answer I give is "no". Maitreya Buddha is one of the eight great bodhisattvas of Buddhism, and will become the next Buddha after the Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha, who will be born in the world in the future world and become a Buddha after experiencing calamities, while Amitabha Buddha is a Buddha who is in charge of the Western Elysium. So we say that Maitreya Buddha is Maitreya Buddha and Amitabha Buddha is Amitabha Buddha, and the two of them are not the same Buddha statue in Buddhism.
Maitreya Buddha represents compassion, tolerance, optimism, he is selfless to others, no matter how others hurt him, ridicule him, he does not treat everyone equally, does not maliciously retaliate, he has always used his kind heart to influence others, so that they realize their mistakes and take the initiative to correct, loved by the people.
Amitabha, we often hear that some people who believe in Buddhism sometimes put their hands together and say "Amitabha" to others, we have never been very clear about what this "Amitabha" means, in fact, this is a sentence of blessing to others, is to hope that your life is bright, at the same time this is also the hope for people, I hope that people's lives are clear between public and private, and people are bright and upright, so Amitabha Buddha represents light, hope. The meanings of Amitabha Buddha and Maitreya Buddha themselves are different, although they are both indispensable parts of Buddhism, but their essence is different, so Amitabha Buddha will not be Maitreya Buddha, and likewise, Maitreya Buddha will not be Amitabha Buddha. #大笑弥勒佛#
