28 Benefits of Ksitigarbha Sutra

Concerning the video on my previous post. It's created based on Ksitigarbha Sutra. Most Mahayana Buddhists know about this Sutra. At least they have ever heard the name. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in Buddhism is the Bodhisattva who represents the Great Filial Piety.

The base foundation we should build from learning Mahayana Buddhism is the Filial Piety. That's the first lesson we should take. And also it's a natural thing to be filial to parents, right?

Ksitigarbha Sutra is also one of many Buddhist Sutras that every Buddhist recite at home or at the Buddhist temple. In the Sutra, we can know clearly the benefit of the Ksitigarbha Sutra. Here is an excerpt from the whole Sutra taken from Chapter 13 (last Chapter) of the Sutra.

The Buddha told Akasagarbha, "Listen attentively, listen attentively! For now I shall tell you about those benefits one by one. In future times, any good men or good women who should see Ksitigarbha's image and hear this Sutra and, furthermore, read and recite it, and who should also donate incense, flowers, drink, food, clothing and precious treasures as offerings, in addition to giving praise and making obeisance to Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, will gain twenty eight kinds of benefits, namely:

1. Protection and mindfulness of devas and nagas;
2. Daily increase of virtuous fruition;
3. Accumulation of elevated and sacred causes;
4. Nonretrogression from path of Bodhi;
5. Affluence and abundant clothing and food;
6. Non-occurence of diseases;
7. Non-occurence of the calamities of flood or fire;
8. No harassment by robbery and thievery;
9. Admiration and respect of all persons one encounters;
10. Aid and support of deities and demons;
11. Transformation of the female body into the male body at rebirth;
12. Being a royal minister's daughter if reborn as a female;
13. Possession of a dignified and graceful form;
14. Frequent rebirth in the heaven-realms;
15. Sometimes becoming an emperor or a king;
16. Possession of the miraculous power of knowing one's previous lives;
17. All prayers will be answered;
18. Delight and happiness for the members of one's family;
19. Elimination of all unexpected and unpleasant happenings;
20. Permanent eradication of the karmic ways of life;
21. Always passing through safely wherever one travels;
22. Always feeling safety and delight in one's dreams;
23. Elimination of suffering for one's departed ones;
24. Rebirth on the strength of previous bliss;
25. Praises by the Holy Ones;
26. Possession of clever wit and healthy organs;
27. Fullness of mercy, pity and compassion;
28. Ultimate attainment of Buddhahood.

"Bright Eyes" saved her mother

This is probably one of my Buddhist video collections that I have watched for many times. It's a cartoon created based on Chapter 4 of Ksitigarbha Sutra, which describes the Great Filial Piety of a girl called "Bright Eyes" who saved her mother from hell.



I'm sorry for uploading such a small-sized video as I have limited space in my blog and the cost for uploading this video. My main purpose of creating this blog is that I wish that the videos which are created with the purpose of free distribution can be distributed by bluetooth on mobile phones. The source media I have is in DVD format, and the one you are going to view is the converted one from DVD format using Koyote Free Video Converter.

The video also comes with subtitles, but I think they are too small to be viewed on a mobile phone. But I am contented as long as it can be viewed online or can be watched on mobile phones because it can then be distributed via bluetooth.

If you don't know how to download, click here for instructions.
For further information, visit the official site of this video clip:

Watch videos online or download it

In this blog, you'll then find videos that you can download to your mobile phone. The videos include: movies, cartoons, talks, etc. Since it is still under process, you'll have to wait for a few days to see the first video posted. It can be distributed through bluetooth on mobile phones. And also it is a small-sized video format that saves more space.

I am still considering the quality of sound and video I will be using cause video file will take up a lot of space and of course it will take me more time to upload.

Each video will come with a short introduction. They are completely free for distribution as long as they are distributed in its entirety. This means that no modifications of the videos should be made. Remember, respect the teachings of the videos and hence distribute it and make good use of it. Enjoy the videos and most important of all, learn from the videos and put them into practice in your daily life.

Introduction - Why I created this blog?

Namo Amituofo,

Hi, my name is Yanto. I am a Buddhist.
The main purpose of creating this blog is to promote Buddhism and Chinese Moral Teachings, especially Di Zi Gui as the basic Chinese teaching learnt all over the world. This blog will contain literatures, stories, videos, wallpapers, etc. I am not aiming at Buddhists only but anyone who is interested in Chinese Moral Teachings.

The contents of this blog is:

• my translation works from Chinese books
  
• my translation works from Buddhist and Moral CD, VCD, DVD material
• my personal review of the video I upload (or maybe just the translation if the video size is too big)
  
• direct copy from Buddhist site or Chinese Moral Teachings sites that provide free contents

I will only post articles that I translate from free Chinese books. And of course will not violate copyrights regulation.

If you have any comments, just leave it under my post. Thanks for your attention and feel free to distribute the video. Amituofo...
