(English subtitles) Master Jianyin, 鑑因法師 born in 1937 Taiwan, Talks Dharma.
Subtitles:
I often mention Laywoman Minzu living in Taipei. She told me in person. She learned Buddhism since youth and also studied Avatamsaka Sūtra (Flower Adornment Sūtra). She regards all insentient beings as sentient beings. She named everything she owned. Her toy dog is named Pug. The car she drives is named Precious Horse. She gives everything a name. So, wherever she goes, she won't say I am going to drive this car. First, she pats this car and said: Precious Horse, I'm goint to Yuanlin Lotus Society. You need to run well and not break down. Pat it like this for a while and then go.
1:00
Then she drove smoothly all the way. She said so on the way out and did so on the way back. Once, her friend needed a car. He said: May I borrow your car? I'm going somewhere. Well, she lent him her car. Of course, the man borrowed this car didn't know it is called Precious Horse, and he wouldn't greet it like this. The owner greets this car in this way day and night. There arises a spirit. I tell you the fact. The man borrowed it but, unaware of this, continued driving. However, it broke down on the high way, and it couldn't restart. He had no choice but to call a mechanic to fix it. He spent the whole day repairing it, but without success. Finally, he had no choice but to call laywoman Minzu. I drive the car borrowed from you, but it broke down on the highway, he said.
2:00
I've called a mechanic to fix it, but it won't start. I am anxious. A thought suddenly came to her: After all the time you spent fixing it, it still won't start? Yeah. Why didn't you call me earlier? I just try to fix it and see if I can handle it. I'm not too sure about your car's performance. Since you can't fix it, don't fix it. You pat the head of the car, I name this car Precious Horse. You can said like this: Precious Horse, I borrow this car from your owner, laywoman Minzu. I will drive to a place today and then I will return to her. You tell him: Precious Horse, I'd like to have a safe trip.
3:00
I'll be back as soon as I'm done. Try to tell it like this and see if it can restart. Though this man was not a Buddhist, he has messed around with the car the whole day, and it doesn't cost a penny, why not give it a try? Thus, he pat the car: Precious Horse, I borrow this car from somebody. After saying that, he tried again, and it really started. The mechanic said: How can it be? I can't make it start. You pat it and say some words, and it started. Then it ran well all the way. He drove to the destination, completed his work and came back. That car didn't break down. If you don't believe it, the facts are in front of you.
She has a toy dog and names it Pug. Because its shape is like a pug, she names it Pug.
4:00
She regards it as a real dog. Her kids love it and play with it all the time. When she goes out, she lets the dog watch the door. Before she goes out, she puts the dog at the door of the house and closes the door. Pug, watch the house. Then she closes the door. She did this every time, regarding it as a real dog. Watch the house carefully. She really thinks the dog is real and able to watch the house. Once, several lotus friends went to her house to chat. After sitting for a while, they decided to go somewhere.
5:00
Then they went out altogether. She has been used to that action. After the guests were out, she said to the dog: Pug, we are going to a place, watch the house carefully. She put the dog beside the door and locked the door. They went downstairs and she realized she had forgotten her rosary beads. I forgot to bring my rosary beads. Those of us who chant the Buddha always carry a string of rosary beads, but she forgot. A lotus friend volunteered: I will get it for you, where do you put it? I put it on the table in my room. You will find it after you go in. I will get it for you. Then the lotus friend went up to get the rosary beads to prevent her from going up again. Her friend screamed as the door opened and ran downstairs.
6:00
Minzu said: Why did you scream so loudly? You raised a ferocious dog and didn't tell me. When I opened the door, it jumped high and opened its mouth to bite me. I was so scared almost lost my shit and ran downstairs desperately. Minzu said: Are you insane? When did I raise a dog? You obviously have a dog, it's pale yellow. When I opened the door, it jumped very high, I was scared. No such stuff. Absolutely yes, but you say no. Or, I go up with you to take a look. So they went up together. Minzu opened the door and said: Where is the dog? It's this dog. It's just a toy, not a real dog. What toy dog? It's really a toy dog. But just I opened the door, why did it jump high and open its mouth to bite me?
