Let go of the desire to become Buddha
In some views, Buddhism set the goal of becoming a Buddha as removing the seven emotions and six desires. However, there were also people who believed that humans were made up of desires. Desires were the driving force for humans to move forward and were inseparable from the human body. The pursuit of becoming a Buddha could also be seen as a desire. The so-called " letting go of the desire to become a Buddha ", in a sense, was a realm that transcended the conventional concept of Buddhism. If a person always had a strong desire to become a Buddha, he might fall into a kind of utilitarian-oriented pursuit. And letting go of this desire might achieve a kind of inner peace and enlightenment. For example, in a war situation, constantly increasing the purpose of the war to satisfy a certain desire would bring more losses. Analogy to the pursuit of Buddhahood, excessive obsession with the desire to become Buddha may be further away from the true Buddha nature. Letting go of this desire may be a way to move towards Buddha nature. At the same time, the character Lu Zhishen had his own behavior characteristics. He did not completely conform to the traditional image of a monk, but he was highly praised by some people. This also showed that the understanding of Buddha nature did not necessarily lie in the desire to become a Buddha. Putting down this desire and following the inner qualities of kindness and justice might better reflect the meaning of Buddha nature. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!"

A good person has to go through 99 and 81 difficulties to become a Buddha
In some Buddhist concepts, taking Tang Sanzang as an example, if a good person wanted to become a Buddha in the sense of a great master of Buddhist cultivation like the Tan Merit Buddha, he had to go through many hardships. Although Tang Sanzang had profound Buddhist attainments and was the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha, the Golden Cicada, he still needed to go through eighty-one difficulties to become a Buddha. This was because the eighty-one difficulties represented all the forms of a person from the inside out. The inside was like the seven emotions and six desires, and the outside was like the forms of all living beings and all things. If one only cultivated in a monastery, even if it was the highest level monastery, without experiencing these things, they would not be able to truly come into contact with the forms of all living beings and all things. They would not be able to abandon the seven emotions and six desires. In the end, they would only be an eminent monk of a generation and would not be able to become a true Buddha. However, if the buddha in " becoming a buddha on the spot " referred to becoming a member of the buddhist sect, such as monks, nuns, buddhas, and so on, then the bad guys could put down their butcher knives and become a buddha in the sense of being a member of the buddhist sect. However, this was a different concept from becoming a buddha in the sense of being a person who had achieved great success in cultivation after experiencing many hardships.

What stages do you need to go through to become a Buddha?
Becoming a Buddha required the following stages: 1. Buddha Realm Stage: Able to understand and comprehend the arguments of Buddhism. After a true epiphany, one's "heart", thinking, consciousness, and concepts will enter the "Buddha Realm". For example, when one understood that all forms were illusory and that all forms were void, one would enter this stage. 2. Buddha Realm Stage: First, one must understand and comprehend all the arguments in the Buddha Realm. Second, one must be able to "do" after understanding. The "do" here includes long-term and all the "Buddhist principles". If he could do these two things, along with the "precepts", he would enter the "Buddha Realm". 3. Buddha Spirit Stage: After attaining the Buddha Fruit, reaching the Buddha Realm, and entering the Buddha Realm, the body is called the Pizhi Buddha. When the body dies, the soul becomes the Buddha Spirit. The Buddha Spirit was different from the soul of an ordinary person. It was a form of Qi when scattered and a form when gathered. It existed and did not exist. It was distributed in the universe. It was neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor clean, neither increasing nor decreasing. It surpassed life and death and existed eternally in the universe. In addition, from the perspective of the cultivation process, there was a stage of "cultivation after enlightenment": 1. The stage of separation and meditation: to leave all clinging, not to live in all external realms, and enter a state of concentration, free from all interference from external realms. After reaching this stage, some people think that they have reached the end of the meaning and live in such a state (meditation) and no longer come out. The highest fruit that such a person can achieve is Arhat. 2. ** Surpassing the Arhat Stage **: To be able to remove the root of the obsession with "concentration", practice in "concentration", break "concentration" in "concentration", and finally have no place to live. That is to say, after removing the "non-attachment meditation", there will be no more obsession and great liberation will be achieved. This is also the realm pointed to by the "bucket bottom falling off" of Zen. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!" The novel is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

Buddha said that greed, anger, ignorance, love, hate, desire
In Buddhism, greed, anger, obsession, love, hate, and desire were closely related to one's inner state and understanding of the world. Greed stemmed from the desire in people's hearts. Desire caused people to have excessive desire for things. Anger was when things didn't go according to one's wishes, and one's heart was like a ignited flame that produced anger. Stupidity would hinder the understanding and comprehension of the righteous path, and people would be easily confused and bound by themselves. Love, hate, and desire were also the embodiment of human emotions and desires. According to the Diamond Sutra," Everything is like a dream bubble, like dew and like lightning. It should be observed like this." It could be seen that everything in the world, including people's greed, anger, stupidity, love, hate, and desire, were as short and illusory as a dream bubble. They should not be overly obsessed with it. In the Heart Sutra," color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color " also expressed the concept that everything in the world was born from karma. Greed, anger, obsession, love, hate, and desire were also the appearances of this karma. People needed to see the essence clearly and not be overly restrained by it. Only by cutting off greed, anger, obsession, and so on could they reach a state of freedom.
