If you study on your own, then your own feeling is getting more and more fatigued.
But if you really enter into the almsgiving of the Dharma, especially when you are mixed with giving pleasure and plucking suffering, you are performing the almsgiving of the Dharma according to giving pleasure and plucking suffering, moreover, you can make others rejoice from the heart with this Dharma, and you have taken advantage of giving pleasure and plucking suffering, joy and giving.
Oh, taking advantage of one of them is a great success, let alone taking advantage of all four of them. He will definitely have a good state.
Moreover, you can try in the future, if you at ordinary times have to engage yourself in learning for an hour,you will be tired, but you will not be tired if you give Dharma alms for two hours.
Then you really enter into pure Dharma alms, especially when you are getting higher and higher, and when the people who are listening are getting high with you, he can resonate, and this resonance can break all your fatigue.
Even you speak there, you are exhausted dying, and you don’t even know how to die. Because you do not feel how to die.
The more he pays the price, the higher the arising of conditions he generates is.When the arising of conditions he generates is higher, he can really do it in the future: once he hears it, he will understand it, and once he uses it, it will work,and he can be very fast to do it.
Otherwise, it will be like Sakyamuni Buddha who served Devadatta, and worked hard all his life, but could not necessarily gain too much.
Because that one is little by little, this one is the Dharma giving with giving pleasure,plucking suffering,joy and giving at one time;
His old life is still there at the end, but you give your old life in exchange, you don’t want all of it, the whole person is not wanted, but he still has a person left at the end, how does that of him compare with this of you?
What is dharma offering, offering dharma and dharma giving?
Offering Dharma and Dharma giving are two concepts. The Dharma giving with giving pleasure ,plucking suffering, joy and giving is more superior than offering Dharma.
Dharma offering is to make offerings according to the Dharma, first of all, you must have the Dharma.
Offering Dharma is to make offerings to the Dharma with everything, to establish the arising of conditions of quick understanding and quick achievements.
Dharma giving is to give the Buddha’s teachings to achieve the purpose of making all sentient beings free from suffering and attain happiness.
Now please look at the related example questions.
Pupil: According to your teachings, is the Dharma Giving mentioned in the following paragraph Dharma giving or offering Dharma ?
Infinite Meaning Bodhisattva said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, I shall now make an offering to Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. Then he untied his necklace of precious pearls around his neck,its value in the hundreds of thousands of taels of gold,and gave it to the Bodhisattva,saying,“Humane One,accept this Dharma Giving,this necklace of precious pearls.”
Teacher: It’s offering the Dharma, it’s offering the Dharma with the necklace of precious jewels.
I vow that all of us and all sentient beings can be eternally faithful to our Fundamental Teacher, to our Fundamental Teacher’s teachings, and to the practitioners of our Fundamental Teacher’s teachings! And can always maintain the original, pure, and untainted Fundamental Teacher’s teachings, and always preserve the practitioners of the original, pure, and untainted Fundamental Teacher’s teachings.
I vow that all of us and all sentient beings can always hold every word spoken by mentors and Buddhas in their hands like a precious treasure, and can also truly engrave them in our hearts, and digest and absorb them perfectly, and solidify them as a capital for self-benefit and others-benefit.
