Buy the Truth
“Buy the truth, and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.” (Proverbs 23:23 WEB)
Nothing is more precious than revelations about Jesus who is the way, the TRUTH, and the life. He is also who Wisdom represents in the Book of Proverbs.
Godly wisdom is stored up and reserved like precious treasure for the “upright” who are God’s children.
“For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity; that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints.” (Proverbs 2:6-8 WEB)
To sell the truth means to give it away—discarding it as if there is anything else more worthy to trade it for.
When we trade revelations of Jesus away and choose to embrace ways of the world instead, we get conned into a bad deal.
Only knowing the truth can set us free. If we sell the truth, then we are left with unprofitable lies that leave us in bondage.
“Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished. Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom. Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.” Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?” Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob. Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.” (Genesis 25:29-34 WEB)
Esau was a man who was very short-sighted. He could only see what was in front of him. He was very hungry, and there was freshly-boiled stew, so he sold his birthright for a meager bowl of stew.
The birthright was something intangible to him so it did not seem real or valuable. He was a man who walked by sight and not by faith.
When you are feeling a desperate need, do you sell the truth and buy the world’s ways?
“All these revelations about Jesus are not practical or useful. Don’t get me wrong, they are good to know, but they cannot help me fix this problem in my life.”
A statement like that is like Esau despising his birthright, saying, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
If you treat the Gospel of Jesus Christ as precious, God will be really pleased, for that is what He considers as true treasure. He who honors Jesus, receives honor because every good thing is found in Christ.
“For to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.” (Ecclesiastes 2:26 WEB)
Can you see that God considers wisdom, knowledge, and joy as His precious gifts and priority, whereas gathering and heaping up (material wealth) is seen as a secondary matter?
You buy the truth by seeking out revelations about Jesus Christ, and making it your priority to know Him more.
When God gives you a rhema word, act upon it. Doubt it at your own detriment. God is good and His word is true. Buy the truth and do not sell it!

今天,是一個很好修懺悔法的日子。願所有的佛弟子精進修持,好好洗滌自己身心靈的「污穢」,才有更大的能力,讓佛道隆昌、法輪恆轉。吾以此文章供養大聖佛陀,也祝所有師兄師姐們卫賽節快樂。
Today is a wonderful opportunity to cultivate the repentance practice. I hope that all Buddhists will be diligent in their practice and purge their bodies, hearts and souls of the muck accumulated. Only then will we have a greater ability to flourish the propagation of Dharma and turn the Wheel of Dharma into eternal motion. I humbly offer my article to the Great Lord Buddha, and wish all Dharma Brothers and Sisters a Happy Vesak Day!
《通往佛國的音律》
The Rhythm To Access The Land of Buddhas
(English version below)
佛弟子、修行人,可以說皆與經咒,無不有關。若妳你還未皈依,偶在某些場合、道場,或在網路上看到、聽到,是不能就這樣順口跟著唸誦的哦!為什麼不能呢?因為這是盜法的。盜法當然也就不如法,不祇會有過失,所唸所誦的經、咒,或無法產生效力與功德力。就好像妳你很喜歡讀書,但妳你卻還沒辦理入學手續,因此未能獲準進入課室,正式上學。就算妳你在課室外,偷聽老師的教學,沒人給妳你應證,沒人給妳你文憑,妳你所偷聽學來的,妳你自己也不置可否,所以也就無效啊!
其實誦經持咒,都有其音律及拍子的。這音律及拍子,是莊嚴經咒,是調整妳你的呼吸,是使氣脈通暢,經咒由口出,入於耳,印於心。這樣的修法,雜念容易止,容易產生法喜、法樂,容易進入專注,容易達於定境,誦經持咒之功德,這時才算圓滿。今天如果吾沒寫出這一段,誦經持咒的「功法」,相信很多佛弟子,修來修去始終十年如一日,毫無進境可言。這誦經持咒的「功法」,實為千金、萬金難買啊!今日妳你有幸得之,應當好好修去,靈山就在不遠處。
佛國到底是什麼樣的一個地方?佛國是一個常樂我淨的地方,是名符其實的聖土、極樂世界。如此高......尚的境界,要如何才能夠到達?首先,我們一定要認禮明師,求法、守戒、實修,就能到達也。聽似好難呀!就是因為難,才難能可貴啊!一件陳年衣服,灰塵佈滿,妳你將它拿去洗,乾淨如新,這就是實修。以後不再置之不理,且定時穿洗,就是守戒。天天的行持下去,命終後佛國自然去得。
有位老婆婆,天天唸佛做功課。一聽之下,會讚嘆老婆婆真是精進,真是吾等學佛的榜樣。可是,事實並不如此。她是真的天天唸佛做功課,但她一邊唸,一邊唸她的老伴及媳婦。直到有一天刮風打雷下大雨,她一害怕雷聲大作,而大聲唸了一句佛號,跟著頭傾斜而終。閻王秤其生前所用之數珠,僅一粒有份量。若她懂得「通往佛國的音律」,她就不用到冥府,而是直接通往極樂佛國嘍!
----------------------------
It is a common for Buddhists and spiritual practitioners to be associated with sutras and mantras. If you have yet to take refuge in the Triple Gem, you cannot recite the sutra or mantra which you pick up from puja events, temples or the Internet. Why is that so? Because this would equate to stealing of the Dharma, and that is of course not in accordance with the Dharma. Not only will you sin, there will be no effect or merit generated from reciting the sutra or chanting the mantra. Using this analogy: if you are fond of studies, but did not enroll into a school proper, you will be barred from entering the classroom and be a student formally. Even if you stand outside the classroom, and eavesdrop on the teacher teaching the class, no one would administer examinations nor confer any certificate upon you. What you have secretly learned cannot be validated and is of no use in the end!
Actually there is a rhythm and beat to follow when one is reciting the sutra or chanting the mantra. This rhythm and beat is to uphold the sutra or mantra in high esteem, and serve to regulate your breathing and clear your Qi channels. As you recite the sutra or chant the mantra, the sounds enter your ears, and impress upon your heart. This method of spiritual cultivation easily puts a stop to distracting thoughts, and effortlessly alleviates you to a state of Dharma bliss and joy, allowing your mind to stay focused and eventually into meditative stillness. In such a way, the merits from your practice shall be complete. Had I not written this passage on the correct practice of sutra recitation and mantra chanting, I believe many Buddhists would not attain any level of accomplishment even after 10 years of practice. This method is priceless, and cannot be bought with thousands taels of gold! You are fortunate to know this today, and ought to put it into diligent practice. If you do so, your accomplishment shall not be far away.
What kind of place exactly is the Land of the Buddhas? It is a place with eternal bliss and purity, a place fitted to be named the Land for the Enlightened, the Land of Everlasting Bliss. How can we reach this place of such high nobility? First and foremost, we must identify and take refuge in an accomplished master, and seek the Dharma from Him, abide by the precepts and practice diligently before we can arrive at the Land of the Buddhas. This seems to be quite a tall order, but that is precisely why it is so precious! A diligent practice can be described using this analogy: When you take a piece of old clothing covered with a thick layer of dust to the laundry, it is totally transformed into a clean and new clothing. What about abiding by the precepts? It is akin to washing that same piece of clothing regularly to keep it clean and new. Keep up this practice until the end of your life, and you will ascend to the Buddha's Paradise.
There was an old lady who recited the Buddha's Name every day. You might be in awe of her diligence, and think that she is the perfect role model for learning the Dharma. However, things are not what they seem to be. She may be reciting the Buddha's Name daily, but as she recited, she also grumbled about her husband and daughter-in-law. Until one day when the thunderstorm arrived, a sudden jolt of thunder frightened the old lady, and she shouted out the Buddha's Name in all sincerity before taking her last breath. When the King of Hades weighed her chanting beads, there was only one bead with sufficient merit. If she had known the "rhythm" to directly access the Buddha's Paradise, she would not have to suffer at the Netherworld, but instead gain the instant pass to the Land of the Buddhas!

ハーレー創業100周年モデル、
Harley-Davidson(Harley-Davidson, NYSE:HOG) It is the motorcycle manufacturer of the United States of America establishing the headquarters in は, State of Wisconsin Milwaukee City. Popular name Harley.
It was established in 1903 by Arthur, David loss brothers and William Sylvester Harley of Walter.
Because, as for the name of the Harley coming earlier, William was in charge of an engine design.
In the past, there was an American motorcycle maker in the time only in one company of the Harley-Davidson.
The formula name in Japan is "Harley-Davidson", but the real pronunciation is near to "Harley デイヴィッセン".
The Harley-Davidson which started the establishment of a business in 1903 lets a model appear in the anniversary when I put the special paint and equipment in a year to become a turning point. 14 announced the model of the car model in 2008 to greet the 105th anniversary foundation. As for all models, the appeal degree becomes the specifications of the perfect score.
Even if the first difference with the normal model says anything; two-tone color of the カッパーパール & vivid black. All the 105th anniversary 14 memory model car models are unified by this color. A candy color with the depth which changes chic expression にと, 風合 いを if a day goes down under the direct rays of the sun loudly is a characteristic. An orange and a pinstripe of the gold enter and seemingly I am simple and am seen on a rain jacket and the black coating reason part, but am finished in the design which I devoted myself to very much.
A commemorative medallion and the plate which serial number was in of the cloisonne stick to a tank. Because there do not need to be 2 and the thing that there is it, the same cereal is a model satisfying the possessiveness of the owner more. A seat and an air cleaner and the timer cover which used the leather of the brown to coloring partially become specifications especially, besides.
In late years the Harley announced the commemorative model every five years. I release a motorcycle letting the degree feel premium value. The 105th anniversary memory car feeling heaviness of the history is right attention!
As for the lineup of the model commemorative for 105 years, a sportster is two car models of XL1200C and XL1200L. The touring family is FLHX, FLHRC, FLHTCU, FLTR, five car models of FLHTCU/SC and a full lineup. FLSTC and FXSTC, FLSTN and FLSTF appear in the dyna family from FXDL and FXDC, ソフテイル. All the 14 model who increased VRSCAW more. The precious memory model recommends early consultation in a shop so that number is limited. I am sure to get that I attract attention if I run with a characteristic machine
