Before this ,Ven Master Ci Zhou is mentioning about the Birds
that appear in Amitabha Sutra .So the picture extracted is
following His Discussion
1st Para translation:
So to speak ,not only is the Birds and trees is representation of
Buddha teachings ,even animate or inanimate object is also
representation of Buddha's teaching .
In the ming dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang was accompanied by Advisor Liu
Bowen on a Military Expedition .He heard the cuckoo chirping and
out of curiosity began to ask ,"Bo wen ,the cuckoo chirping as if
it is talking , what does it signifies and the reason ? "
"Your Highness ,it mean you rule the Mountain and River(rule
China)."
Emperor Zhu is delighted and ask ,"What does it means to you
?"
"It means for me to assist (Emperor) in taking care of
China."
"What does it means to the farmer ?"
"The wheat and rice ready to be harvested "
So it is the hearing of Worldly thing ,that will pacify the
dwellers of Pureland ,so is as applicable in the Western
Paradise
thus is the wonderful state of mind when one enter the wonderful
state of sound .
So everyone will experienced the wonderful state of Amitabha Buddha
name recitation .That is to said ,all Western Paradise dwellers
recite the Buddha Name Sincerely ,thus the birds and trees does
emanate the sound of Dharma
2nd Para :
When We think of Triple Gems,we will not be out of reach of Triple
Gems .This state of Mind is the same as Buddha .Buddha nature is in
our heart.and My body is no difference with Buddha Dharma Body ,So
I prostrating is the same as all Buddha prostrating ,with no
difference when we are in that state.
If we differentiate all these and go against this ,Buddha and
sentient beings will become 2 different entity .
