Three worlds of cause and effect, true belief, practice

We can only see the three-thirds of this acre in front of us. We can't see the three generations. We can only see now, tomorrow, next year, and even a little further, for decades, at most before death. Can't see after death. So, there is a question, do we believe in causality?

Faith is the mother of merit, everything in religion is built on this faith, and so is Buddhism. If there is no letter, what are we talking about? So if we truly believe in the cause and effect of the three worlds, then why should we be so entangled in doing good deeds now, that we won’t get good results tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and you won’t get good karma the day after tomorrow?

This is not a simple one, we are now a cause and effect, this is the cause and effect of the three times. Of course, are there some people who do a good deed in this world, and then get a good reward tomorrow? There is also such a possibility, and it is not completely absent, but it varies from person to person, not everyone is the same. Some people are very fast, maybe they create a good cause today, do a good deed, and then there will be a good result tomorrow, and some people may have a good result in the next life, and this is a different cause and effect.

In Buddhism, there are different orders or categories, such as different ripe fruit, equal flow fruit, increased fruit, and detached fruit. Different perspectives have different cause and effect. There are causality in this world and there are causality in the third world. When we understand the truth, we won’t be limited to just a single cause and effect in this world, or if I do things today, I want to be rewarded tomorrow.

If we still have such a mind, then we might as well make a change from today’s entanglement and attachment. This is practice.

When you change your mind, you practice. Then today we are still obsessed with me being a good person for 20 years and a good person for 30 years. I am still being deceived, bullied, and trampled by others. When you get rid of such entanglement, you will no longer be entangled in the troubles of the past. What would that feel like? That's much easier, that's happiness!

When you get rid of such entanglement, you will be accompanied by a kind of peace and tranquility. If your mind is no longer turbulent, it is meditation. If you don’t follow the entanglement, it is meditation. After seeing the entanglement, you don’t want it. This is wisdom. To be able to make a change in one's own heart is practice.

Of course, you say that I am entangled, but I have no way to get rid of this entanglement, so what should I do? Then you need to learn more deeply. Use a method, such as reciting Buddha, mantra, and meditation. You can choose a method that suits you, and then go deep and continue to cultivate in this way, and then you will have more strength if you stop. This is what we call practice.
