(English subtitles) Buddhist Master Chin-Kung (淨空法師), 1927-2022, talks dharma.
Subtitles:
Therefore, it is crucial to practice generosity. We all want to be blessed, wealthy, wise, healthy and long-lived, and these are everyone's wishes. You reap what you have sown . The crucial thing here is "no dwelling". Where to start "no dwelling"? First of all, you should take everything in this world lightly and not take it too seriously. You must realize that being too serious is obsessed. Buddhism from beginning to end is just to get rid of attachments. No matter which dharma you practice,
if you cling to it, you make a mistake. But attachment is an affliction and a habit, so we must be alert at all times.

The Avatamsaka Sutra says well, All beings have the wisdom and virtue of Tathagata but cannot achieve it due to delusion and attachment. As delusions accumulate and develop, they become obstacles to understanding. As attachments develop, they will turn into the obstacles of vexation. Where do vexations come from? From attachment. Where do the obstacles of understanding come from? From delusion. Both are obstacles to self nature and the wisdom of self nature , and you suffer great losses.
You must know that the help that the Buddhas have given us only ends here. He can only tell the truth and fact, and provides us with his own experience and methods to dispel delusions, achieve enlightenment, and attain fruition through practice for reference. The rest is up to us, and he can't help. Never think that I can rely on Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and they will bless me.
Go and read the Shurangama Sutra and see if Sakyamuni Buddha can bless Ananda? He has to rely on himself. Ananda originally had a delusion that Sakyamuni Buddha was his old cousin and thought, "You have to practice hard. If you don't practice, you won't be able to achieve success. It doesn't matter to me. In the future, my cousin will give me samadhi and prajna because he likes me very much." After being in trouble, he realized that his cousin couldn't help. This is something you must get it right. What do the Buddha support and bless us?

Sutras and teaching. We must find a way out of this. How can I get blessings from Buddhas? Follow the teachings and implement them accordingly, and you will be achieved. We just truthfully do whatever Buddhism tells us to do; we definitely will not do whatever Buddhism tells us not to do. There are advantages and no disadvantages. Buddha says thousands of words and gives us earnest advice to let go of our delusions, discrimination and attachments, but we just can't let go. The reason why you can't let go is that you don't understand the truth, thinking that this body is real and the current state is real. This is a misconception, wrong idea, wrong opinion, in short, those are delusions. So the Buddha tells us the truth: ”All forms are delusional..” When you are confused in your mind about matters and people, or when you have conflicts of interest, or when you are angry with others, think of these Buddha's words, All forms are delusional.

Recite it a few times, you will feel serene. The waves will flatten out. It’s an illusion. It indeed doesn’t exist.
Buddhism says, "All matters are empty, cause and effect are not empty." All matters are empty, they are illusory and not real. Without this cause, where would the effect come from? Therefore, how can we not be cautious about our thoughts and dealings with others? It makes sense that an enlightened person fear causes.
6:00
If anyone treats me badly, I don't mind. I joyfully accept it I cultivate good causes, I cultivate pure causes, and I will get forthcoming good rewards. If someone offends me, I will also retaliate against him. That will cause big trouble. You have to know that this kind of revenge becomes more and more cruel, and the sin becomes more and more serious. In the end, the two of you fall into hell together, harming yourself and others. Enlightened people do not harm themselves or others. No matter what mean tricks you use against me, I know I've probably been mean to you in the past, and you are taking revenge on me, so let me repay the debt, and it's all over. Look, the knot in your mind is untied. How happy are you? As I said just now, no one suffer loss, and no one takes advantage of anything.
7:00
Now that the knot is untied. When I become a Buddha, I will first ferry you. There is a case in the Vajra Sutra where King Kaliraja cut off the body. Kaliraja is a Sanskrit word that translates as cruelty. He is a king. To put it together, he is the so-called tyrant. This cultivator was practicing in a deep mountain and was dismembered and executed by him for no reason. This cultivator is the predecessor of Sakyamuni Buddha. He was not resentful at all and made a vow that he would ferry him first when becoming a Buddha in the future.
