A good reader can get something by reading.

Have quality, understanding, follow fate, eight points of wisdom, greedy and stupid.

(Ode to the Eight Knowledge Laws) Understand it simply and quickly, so as to formally study Cheng Wei's Theory of Knowledge. Now is the seventh knowledge. Seventh, there is no way to turn over the general habits, only to turn over the sounds, which is called "the last knowledge". The word "that" used to be pronounced "promise". This "last knowledge" and the seventh knowledge, especially the students who are studying psychology now, should pay more attention to the subconscious mind, the subconscious mind, and even the "sixth sense" in psychology now, which is not beyond the scope of the sixth knowledge. So there is no way to translate the "last knowledge" into any knowledge. Conceptually understanding it is the real sixth knowledge, called "Italian root" and Italian root. Then, if further understood, ordinary people are called "thoughts", which is "thoughts". Because the sixth consciousness is easy for us to understand alone, people's thoughts, differences, clear minds and thorough thinking about things are all the functions of the sixth consciousness. The so-called "meaning root" of the seventh consciousness sometimes seems indistinguishable and indistinguishable. We have ideas in that field, especially when we are here. We all pay attention to practice and seek Tao. When we meditate, we feel that we have no distractions at all, and we sit quietly-that is thought, that is the root and meaning of the sixth consciousness.

So "year" is translated from ordinary books into "year". This "year" is often used as a joke method, which can be said to be a joke method-a word splitting booth, usually a fortune telling method. China's words, look at a "heart" under the word "today", now the heart, this is "reading", now the heart! It is said that sleeping means falling asleep and having no thoughts. That sleep state is "reading" and reading. This kind of thinking enters a sleepy state, and the psychological state is in a sleepy state.

So friends who just did kung fu pay special attention. You feel completely relaxed, asleep, empty and have no physical feelings. You should distinguish this. Maybe this is completely put down, and there is no physical feeling, just like ordinary people are in a "sleeping position" or a "boring position" (boring the past). This is the realm of consciousness. Don't think you are unconscious at this time. This consciousness is close to the field of the seventh knowledge.

So the last knowledge is generally explained. Common explanations are called "I hold" and "I hold all my life". People who come with life feel that there is a "I". Then the reason why all sentient beings can't become Buddhas is that "I hold" is the first empty space. But where can I get this? "I seize everything", when we were born, we already had "I"; Even when I didn't have this body and became a bardo, this "I" didn't leave, nor did the seventh consciousness, so "I hold on to everything." You people who have no books can sit with them and borrow them. Therefore, the seventh knowledge is called "all life" and comes at the same time as life. For example, when the baby was born, the sixth consciousness and the current sixth consciousness (the paragraph just mentioned, pay special attention), the baby did not have the current sixth consciousness, but the habitual root of the sixth consciousness was the same, and it did not break out. Instill by education and so on, and then the roots will explode. Then the baby does not have the function of distinguishing, thinking and thinking of the sixth consciousness, while the "self" of the seventh consciousness of the baby already exists. For example, two twins are hungry, one is breastfeeding early, and the other is not happy. Why do you think I ate late? That self is born with life, and there is me. This "I" is called the seventh last knowledge.

He also made three eulogies: "With quality and understanding, I will do what I want." Where does the seventh knowledge come from? It is presented by the nature of the eighth Araya knowledge and the eighth Araya knowledge. Therefore, if there is "I", it will play a qualitative role, and its realm belongs to the qualitative realm.

"There is a cover", because there is "I", which plays the role of the eighth Ayye knowledge. "Covered" is covered up in this way, just like this thing wrapped in a towel, it can't be seen or seen.

Therefore, we can understand the sixth consciousness ourselves. We know this idea: hey, this is the role of the sixth consciousness. Where is the seventh knowledge of life? It is hard to find it. Because of its "covering" function, it covers the eighth Araya knowledge, and it also covers it in disguised form. This "I see I see" can't be found there. We thought, "Hey! I am a person without me! " Hey, this sentence is "I". "I am a person without me!" This sentence is "I". Therefore, with a quality environment, there is a "cover".

"Empathy", we have a lot of emotional changes, a person's emotional changes, emotions, inner boredom; Sometimes you see, we see that some people are born, all of them are born, and many people sit there for no reason, all in an angry form. That face looks like a debt collection face; Some naughty faces are naughty at first sight and have been shown all their lives. Why? This is a qualitative environment. Therefore, this physical change is manifested by the seventh self. "Empathy", all sentient beings, all sentient beings have this emotional function and are also changed by it. So we usually say, "Hey, watch it!" I have different personalities. "We generally speak, and now people speak, and this personality is the' self' of the seventh knowledge; There are differences. Everyone has a different personality, which is caused by the eighth seed of Araille's knowledge. So this point is a little deeper than the seventh knowledge and more difficult to understand. If there is a "cover" in the qualitative environment, it is an "understanding book".

"Fate", this, he caught this "I" from the beginning of his life. Where is this "I" displayed? There is no "I"-"Suiyuan". When you encounter something, you have an idea about what you are doing. I saw it. It's subjective. I saw it and expressed it. Personality and subjectivity, the stronger I meet, the stronger my personality. So "follow my destiny."

But what does this "I" have? Nothing, just "non-quantitative", non-quantitative. In fact, there is "no self" in the self; The so-called original self-absence is originally a "big self", a very great me. However, because we didn't have proof of Tao before, we always held this ego, so after my parents gave me this body, I held this ego. This ego is a non-quantitative realm, so the realm of "I" is a non-quantitative realm.

Eight trips abroad, greedy and stupid.

Then the psychology and mentality contained in the seventh consciousness are all "eight big troubles", so what are the eight big troubles in this annotation? There are some things in the notes of this book, and we don't need to talk about it. Because what is the fundamental worry we are talking about and what is this state of mind, all these will be discussed in detail in the future of On Cheng Weizhi. After the discussion, I know what kind of mentality I am meditating and practicing kung fu. Don't make a mistake, think I'm enlightened.

Therefore, the eighth knowledge has the closest relationship: eight major worries and five kinds of actions. We pay attention to this five-time line, which has all the eight senses. It's amazing. How much is five times? Meaning, touching, receiving, thinking and thinking are five times. It generally exists in the first five senses, the sixth sense, the seventh sense and the eighth sense, and it passes after five times.

So let's pay attention. People who practice monasticism, whether you practice pure land, meditation, tantra or meditation, sometimes feel that their sixth consciousness is empty. Many monastic meditations are also well done, and when they sit up, they will feel "I have no thoughts and no thoughts"-don't deceive yourself! Without rough thinking, I am in the realm of "thinking". This is subtle, "I know it all!" This is the realm of thinking, and it is in the process of five times. Are you free? That's really empty. If you blank it, it's "empty". You made a loophole. Therefore, this five-way line should be recognized. But five times is the most terrible, it exists in all eight senses.

Therefore, in the seventh consciousness, there are eight major troubles and five major lines, but there are "other realms". There are several mentalities in other realms, one of which is "wisdom" and "wisdom" is another realm! How do you call it another world? In our ordinary people's mental state, we have thoughts, delusions and no wisdom to get the Tao; Enlightenment leads to wisdom. This kind of wisdom is "getting without thinking, getting without giving up", quoting the golden mean, "getting without thinking". If you don't think about it, if you don't study it, you will naturally have it. "Get without thinking, get with reluctance", not reluctant at all, always in the realm of Tao. You should pay attention to "get it without thinking, get it without encouragement" This is the realm of "wisdom", and the realm of wisdom is not imagined. You said I stayed up all night thinking and studying. That's wishful thinking. That's wishful thinking. So "wisdom" is another realm, another realm.

But in the seventh consciousness, the root of the sixth consciousness is really clear, and wisdom (wisdom) is revealed, so it has a good special realm-wisdom from other places. But the seventh knowledge, ah, is very troublesome at all. This root is the same, and the root made of cement is very strong. What? "Greed, infatuation, I see, slowly, follow." Note that we are worried about three things: greed, anger and delusion, and there is no "anger" in the seventh knowledge! All greed, greed, our greed for fame, greed for profit, greed for happiness, greed for beauty, greed for anything, is it; Obsession, the stupidest thing, that is madness! As stupid as a pig, this place. No "anger"! This kind of "anger" is the greatest in the sixth consciousness. The more you think about it, the more wrong it is: "I will kill you!" Hey! This is the sixth consciousness. The seventh consciousness lies in the root, but although it has no "anger", what is it? Slow, I am slow, and "I" is incredible. It is equal to the novel we have read and written before, the so-called diary of Ah Q, which tells that an idiot who was beaten by others bullied him after being beaten by others. He was an idiot himself, and there was nothing he could do, but he still said, "Never mind, Lao Tzu, hum! The son beat Lao Zi! " Being beaten by others also scolded: "Hum! Never mind, my son hit me. " As if I were still your father, your son hit me! Describe an idiot. However, this kind of person's psychological state often exists. A very weak and self-abased person, when bullied by others, sometimes thinks, "Hum, I'm still afraid of you?" I'm not afraid! But I'll let you go! "I'm slow. This is my side.

There is another kind, I am slow and born, and now we call it self-esteem, which is better. The so-called self-esteem means that I am slow to respond and always feel great. I am very slow about this matter. Horribly slow! Terrible, born, so it belongs to the seventh knowledge. From the time I was born, "I" felt that I was different from you, but I was just better than you. The stupidest person thinks he is better than the smart one. "I am still better than you!" " "This is" I am slow ".

If you have knowledge and insight, this slowness will increase, which is called "increasing slowness", so what you fear most in learning Buddhism is increasing slowness. A little effort, a little experience, oh! Then, ah, now everyone is gone. We see many old-timers who studied Buddhism in the past. For example, Xiong Shili and Ouyang Jason Wu have no teachers. At that time, we said, "Hey, these parents, it's terrible to increase slowly!" Growth is slow. Master Taixu is just like him. They are all disciples of Mr. Yang Renshan, and they want to talk about what they only know. Master Taixu is also good! Ouyang didn't say, "It's too empty! He is qualified to talk to us only about knowledge? No! " So "slow". That slow growth is very serious! So, learned people, that slowness is getting worse and worse! This mentality is called "increasing slowly"

"Slow increase" is very terrible! Ladies and gentlemen, it is necessary to learn to practice Buddhism. Scholars often make this mistake. The better you learn, the slower you increase, so the harder it is to become a Taoist. So we should all encourage each other and encourage each other together.

So greed, infatuation, self-cognition, subjective self-cognition, prejudice, subjectivity and so on. They are all born with seven senses, as long as they are born. However, let's go to the ordinary realm. I think greed, ignorance, ignorance and slowness are all good things. An ordinary person without consciousness can't live without these things and doesn't want to live. Idiot, the most worthless person, because he is slow-minded, he still thinks he is an indomitable spirit, ha! This is the other side, telling a common psychological joke. But in monasticism, we can't preach the Tao because these things are too big. So the seventh knowledge is such a thing, and the introduction is over.
