The Four Great Vows refer to the four vows that all Bodhisattvas should make when they are in their positions. The details were: 1. "All sentient beings vow to be saved without limit." This vow was made due to the truth of suffering. Bodhisattvas wanted to save all sentient beings without limit. They often thought about whether they had saved all sentient beings. Although they had saved all sentient beings, they did not cling to the appearance of saving them. If they had not saved all sentient beings, they could not say that they had saved them. 2. "Vow to cut off endless troubles", this wish is the truth of fate gathering. People's troubles will arise unconsciously. When ignorance appears, the troubles will burn the merits and virtues, so we must vow to cut off all troubles. 3. " Vow to learn the infinite Dharmakaya." This vow was made because of the truth of the Tao. There were many Buddhist scriptures, as countless as the sand of the Ganges River. Buddhism had various Dharmakaya. Although one's lifespan was limited and it was difficult to learn them all, one still had to learn them. 4. "The supreme vow of Buddhism is fulfilled." This vow is the truth of fate. Buddhism is the noblest in the world. Becoming a Buddha is the ultimate destination of all sentient beings. Bodhisattvas must vow to become a Buddha and save all sentient beings to become a Buddha.

In Buddhism, the Four Great Emptiness referred to earth, water, fire, and wind. They had the characteristics of hardness, dampness, warmth, and movement. All substances in the world could not be separated from these four characteristics. This concept originated from the Buddhist scripture, Forty-Two Chapters, which read," Buddha's words: When you think of the four great things in your body, each of them has a name, but none of them have me. Since I don't have them, it's like an illusion." The "all void" here was not nothingness. Mahayana Buddhism believed that the four were phenomena of the state of matter. They were false and not real, illusory and not real. They were a kind of transcendence of reality and an insight into the world of phenomena. The Four Great Emptiness embodied a kind of understanding of the essence of life and the universe.

Generally speaking, Buddhist cultivation could be divided into the following levels or stages: 1. Belief: This is the initial stage of cultivation. Practitioners begin to have faith in Buddhism and practice basic doctrines such as not killing or stealing. 2. Seeing the Way: At this stage, the practitioner understands the true meaning of the Four Noble Truths (Suffering, Concentration, Destruction, and Tao) through learning and meditation, and has a deep understanding of karma. 3. Cultivation: In-depth cultivation on the basis of seeing the Tao, mainly through continuous meditation and wisdom cultivation to purify the mind and remove worries. 4. Attainment: This was a key turning point in cultivation. Practitioners could reach one or more "Attainment Stages", which meant that they could directly experience the truth. In addition, from the perspective of the Hinayana realm, there were four realms that were divided according to the degree of understanding of the Four Noble Truths: 1. Sudra Huan fruit: cut off the three realms, see all confusion, participate in the flow of the holy way. 2. Sitohan fruit: In the nine levels of desire realm, the first six levels of confusion are interrupted, and the last three levels are still there. You must come to the realm of desire to be born again. 3. Anagami Fruit: After breaking the realm of desire, the three grades of thought and confusion will be exhausted, and no longer come to the realm of desire to be born. 4. Arhat Fruit: Break the three realms and think about all kinds of things. The four wisdoms have been completed. You can go out of the three realms to achieve Nirvana. There is no way to learn.

Buddhism could be roughly divided into four realms: 1. [Folk Belief Stage (Worship of Buddha Stage): This is the first stage of learning Buddhism. This kind of person has not yet begun to learn Buddhism. They can only be considered to have one foot in Buddhism, but their whole person is still outside the door.] They tended to go with the flow, burning incense and worshipping Buddha. Occasionally, they would try to make deals with Buddha, hoping to exchange their piety for the Buddha's love and help. It was more like they believed in Buddha than learning Buddha. To them, believing in Buddha was more of a spiritual sustenance and had no practical benefits, because Buddhism was to be learned rather than simply believed in. 2. [Stage of Buddhism and Cultivation: This is the second stage of Buddhism. People in this stage begin to study Buddhism and express their affirmation and belief in Buddhism.] They firmly believe that the path pointed out by Buddha leads to light and can make people free from suffering and happy, so they are willing to listen to the teachings of Buddha, correct themselves with actions, learn from Buddha instead of waiting for Buddha to save them, and strictly demand their own behavior to meet the expectations of Buddha. This stage includes most people who study Buddhism, monks, and laymen. 3. ** Accomplished Stage (the position of the Luo Han Guo in Hinayana Buddhism)**: This is the third stage on the path of learning Buddhism. At this stage, people have achieved some success in their studies, truly understood some truths, and obtained great gains through self-cultivation. This gain is mainly reflected in themselves. Acquiring the position of the Luo Han Guo means that they have achieved self-salvation and achieved the goal of getting rid of suffering and obtaining happiness. 4. Stage of Buddhahood: This is the final stage of learning Buddhism. After self-salvation, learning Buddhism has not stopped. If you want to become a Buddha, you need to help other sentient beings and let them be saved. Such a person is Buddha. The higher realm was magnanimity but no limit. As the Diamond Sutra said,"I should exterminate all sentient beings, exterminate all sentient beings, and not one sentient being is truly exterminated." Learning Buddhism until the end should be a realm that could not be attained.

There are four great precepts in Buddhism: first, do not kill; second, do not steal; third, do not indulge in debauchery; fourth, do not speak nonsense. While waiting for the TV series, you can also click on the link below to read the classic original work of "Dafeng Nightwatchman"!
The four supreme mental states of Buddhism were compassion, sorrow, joy, and giving. Kindness was to love all living beings and give them happiness. One had to think about others and bring happiness to others in life. This was also charity to oneself. For example, Buddha Sakyamuni cutting his flesh to feed the eagle was the embodiment of "kindness". Sorrow was the act of bemoaning the state of the universe and the state of mankind, hoping that all living beings would be freed from suffering. For example, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's grand wish of " If hell is not empty, I swear that I will not become a Buddha." This reflected the respect and love for any life from the bottom of my heart, teaching others to be kind and to love others. Happiness was to maintain inner peace and happiness, and to be happy for others from the bottom of one's heart. Although there are worries and sorrows in life, they should not be disturbed by external things or trapped by the secular world. When others have happy things, they are sincerely happy instead of jealous. When others are free from suffering and happy, they can suddenly have infinite joy. Giving up was not clinging to the ups and downs of emotions, allowing the body and mind to be quiet and peaceful. Humans had emotions and desires. Lust would sometimes affect people, so one had to let go of their obsessions and not let their emotions control them. These four states of mind contained philosophical meanings. If one could understand them, one could live a magnanimous life. While waiting for the TV series, you can also click on the link below to read the classic original work of "Dafeng Nightwatchman"!
The four great precepts of Buddhism were not to kill, not to steal, not to lust, and not to speak nonsense. These four techniques were a type of flawless technique, known as the Tranquil Technique.

Here are some Buddhist auspicious words: 1. Six o'clock auspicious: Buddhism's "six o'clock" originated from ancient India, including morning, noon, sunset (three o'clock in the day), first night, middle night, and last night (three o'clock in the night). "Six o'clock auspicious" symbolized the omnipresent blessing of Buddha and Bodhisattva 24 hours a day. 2. Suixi praises: "Suixi" means to obey and not violate;"Xi" means joy, joy without anger. Seeing others do good deeds, they would praise and respect them with joy. Sincere praise and delight in the merits of others, those who praise will also receive the same extraordinary merits as those who do good deeds. 3. Dharma-filled with joy: With sincerity, purity, equality, and enlightenment, the joy born from the pure heart is true joy. This joy can make people forget their slackness and fatigue. In Buddhism, it was said to be filled with happiness. It was to wish the other party to be incomparably happy and to be good and do good. 4. The double increase of blessing and wisdom: Among all the virtues cultivated by Bodhisattva, those who regard wisdom as their nature are called wisdom, and the rest are blessings. In order to achieve the Buddha's fruit, Bodhisattvas need to cultivate both blessing and wisdom. The wish of "Double Blessing and Wisdom" was to hope that "Blessing" and "Wisdom" would grow together and obtain the supreme coolness. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!"
