In daily life, we often encounter many people who advise others to learn Buddhism and practice, and encourage others to do good deeds. In their view, this is' saving people 'because the Buddha says that only by doing good deeds can one receive good rewards. The result is obvious to all, others will hate such people very much, and even make enemies with them. There are also some people who originally had a good impression of Buddha, but they always hear people urging them to learn Buddhism and do good deeds, like flies in their ears, which cannot be ignored. As a result, the only remaining good impression of Buddha disappears. So, are those who often advise people to learn Buddhism doing karma or accumulating merit?

There is no need to doubt, it can be confirmed that those who often advise people to learn Buddhism and practice are actually creating karma. Buddha said that there is no duality in Buddha's nature. Everything in the world is constant, and the two are impermanent. Buddha's nature is not impermanent, it is the nature of non duality, which is Buddha's nature. Similarly, 'karma' has good and evil, one is good and the other is not good. The true Buddha nature, which neither creates bad karma nor good karma, is pure and worry free.

Can't good deeds be pure?

In fact, those who study Buddhism and practice must understand the concept of "non action". When you truly understand the concept of non action, you will understand that the ultimate state to be achieved in Buddhist practice is "no thoughts, no practice, no certificate", which is "non action". I have talked about the concept of 'wuwei' N times, which means that one should not deliberately do it or not do it, and everything should be done according to fate.

That is to say, when fate arises, face it calmly and do what needs to be done; When fate has not yet arrived, don't deliberately pursue it, do what you should do. By practicing in this way, one can be at ease, pure, and extremely happy.

To persuade people to learn Buddhism and practice is often considered as something that can be done, as it is a form of 'achievement', a practice of creating karma, and a practice of creating goodness. Where there is karma, there is reincarnation. Karma is the root of reincarnation. To break free from reincarnation, one must eliminate karma. That is to say, when you create many good deeds in this life, you will be reborn into the Three Good Paths in the next life; And when you create many evil deeds in this life, you will be reborn into the three evil paths. If your karma has been completely eliminated in this life, you will no longer be reborn into the six cycles of reincarnation.

So, we should try to minimize our production in order to break free from the six cycles of reincarnation.

Those who often advise people to learn Buddhism are actually in the process of making a living.

So, there is a question here. In Buddhist scriptures, even many ancient sages often advise people to learn Buddhism. How can we say this?

Here we need to understand the concept of everything following fate. To follow fate is to follow it, and when fate arises, let nature take its course. For example, I, Shengzhong, have opened this Shengzhong layman's blog, where I write about my feelings and insights on learning Buddhism. I often engage in behaviors that encourage people to learn Buddhism and practice, as well as encourage them to do good. This does not belong to karma. Because I didn't promote my blog in any way, I just wrote it here. As for who can see it, everything depends on fate. I don't deliberately push the article to anyone who can see it, it's entirely up to fate. Similarly, those ancient sages who wrote books with warning words are completely dependent on fate. Those who have fate can see it, while those who have no fate can ignore it.

So, when we study Buddhism and practice, we must follow the principle of following fate. Only in this way can we eliminate karma, gather blessings, cultivate merits, and achieve purity and freedom. Frequently advising people to learn Buddhism and practice is about creating karma, and should be avoided, even for family members. If you have read the Biography of the Buddha, you should notice that the Buddha never advised his family members to learn Buddhism, did not advise those around him to learn Buddhism, and did not advise strangers to learn Buddhism. This is the demeanor that a truly wise person should possess.
