Teacher nan huaijin said: Why don't you learn Buddhism and don't know Buddhism?

Buddha said Article 31 of the Diamond Sutra: Bodhi. If people talk about. Buddha said, I see people, sentient beings and those who live long. Lofty What's the point? Do you understand what I said? No, it's not true. Buddha. People don't understand what the Tathagata said. Why? The Buddha said that I meet people, sentient beings and long-lived people. That is, I don't see people, and all beings see life. This is a name. I meet people, all beings, and those who live long. Lofty A man with three virtues and three hearts. In all laws. I should know. See you then. If so, the solution. There is no fertility method. Lofty Spokesman of the law. Tathagata Illegal stage. This is a naming method.

See is not see.

Lofty If people talk about. The Buddha said, I see people, all beings, and those who live long. Lofty What's the point? Do you understand what I said?

At this point, the Buddha first asked Xu Bodhi. If someone says what the Buddha said, people see it, I see it, all beings see it, and those who live long see it, right? Buddhist scriptures all talk about four phases. Here we turn to the other direction and propose that it is not "phase" but "seeing". "Phase" is a phenomenon. Seeing is one's own thoughts and opinions, belonging to the spiritual field. The so-called opinions, that is, the so-called views of new ideas now, belong to opinions. So the enlightenment of Zen is called insight. You should see Tao, not with your eyes! There are four sentences about seeing the Tao in the Shurangama Sutra: "Seeing the time is not seeing. Seeing is still far away, but seeing is out of reach. " Look at this Buddhist sutra. What do you see? What we see first, what our eyes see, what our hearts and eyes see. The second is to see the Tao, in other words, the first is what you see, and the second is what you see. We see with our eyes, this is what we see, this is a phenomenon. Looking back at what I saw, I can see Tao, I can see the essence, not what I saw, not a phenomenon or a realm that my eyes can see, this is not Tao! So, "when you see it," you turn around to see what you see, and when you see it clearly, "what you see is not what you see." This seeing, seeing the Tao, is not what the eyes see, so it is said that "seeing but not seeing." So can you see the Tao? Is there a realm? See or leave to see. When my eyes don't look, my ears don't listen, and everything is empty, I say that I have seen Tao and everyone, but I still have to take it off, and the space is empty. "Seeing but not getting", the real understanding of nature is not what the eyes see, nor what the mind can see. Many opinions, how hard to understand! Tell us that seeing nature with a clear head is not looking at the mountains and water, but the frog plops into the water ... If you want to see everything clearly, all the mountains and rivers and the universe are shattered in vain, and the earth is flat, then you can talk about Zen and see nature with a clear head, which is a bit elusive. Remember! Just a shadow! There are also a few very important words in the Shurangama Sutra: "Knowing is knowing, that is, ignorance, and knowing is nirvana." Zhijian "was later the proper name of Buddhism. Knowing is knowing, knowing all Buddhist scriptures. See, see this phenomenon, realm, just know. I see. When you practice meditation, when you sit up, everything is empty, but you are intellectual and know that you are sitting there very quietly. But one kind of purity is wrong. "Knowing what you see and knowing what you know, that is, knowing nothing" is the root of ignorance. If there is purity, there will be unclean power hidden in it, and there will be trouble power, so if you know what you know, there will be no knowledge. If you want to "see but not see" and finally see emptiness, "four is nirvana", you can reach the edge of seeing.

Knowing is not knowing.

Once upon a time, there were several exorcists who just read the classics, took the Zen route, and then realized the Tao. Therefore, learning Zen is not necessarily meditation or meditation, nor does it have to be meditation or enlightenment. In the Song Dynasty, there was a Zen master at Lu Rui Temple in Wenzhou, who recited scriptures and Buddha every day. Seeing the previous paragraph, he suddenly had a whim and put the original sentence "know it." There is just no clear book. See what you know, see what you don't see Si is nirvana. "Changed punctuation, became" know, see. Knowing is not knowing. I know. Look at that. Look, Nirvana. " I realized from this. Later, I called myself "Breaking the Shurangama Sutra". After reading it in a different way, I suddenly became enlightened, had an epiphany and saw my heart clearly. "Stand with knowledge", knowing and seeing, there is a kind of purity and awareness, "knowing is ignorance", and this kind of knowledge itself is ignorance and trouble. "Knowing nothing", everything is empty, reasoning is empty, thinking is empty, and "thinking is nirvana". Seeing this is enlightenment. This is the time when he realized the Tao and explained the sentence himself. I understand. Now that I have explained this truth, I have talked about it for a long time. Don't change the subject and say that I see it, people see it, all beings see it, and those who live long see it; There are four phases in front of the Diamond Sutra, I phase, human phase, sentient beings phase and longevity phase, which are also mentioned in the middle. See me with color, beg me with voice, it's Jaken, not Tathagata. When I arrived here, I suddenly turned around, not to look at it, but to "see". Phase is phase, teacups are phenomena, towels are phenomena, books are phenomena, I am also a phenomenon, he is also a phenomenon, you are also a phenomenon, all houses in mountains and rivers are phenomena, even vanity is also a phenomenon, cleanliness is also a phenomenon, sleeping is also a phenomenon, dreaming is also a phenomenon, waking is also a phenomenon, and all phenomena are life and death changes. So someone meditates every day and asks him how he is. All right! It's too quiet, take a picture! A clean face. Different phases, different phases. Knowing is not knowing, and knowing is nirvana. You should establish a pure Tao, and the Du meridian on your back is open, and the Ren meridian in front is open. When you turn on the tap and pour the water in, the water will be fully open. That's not Tao, it's all phase. A photo, knowing and standing, knowing that there is no Ming Ben; If you want to know what is not, you will see nirvana. So now, what's your opinion? He said to Xu Bodhi, if someone says, I propose that I see it, people see it, all beings see it, and long live it, what do you say? Does that person understand what I mean? He is a true Buddhist. Do you know Buddhism?

No, it's not true. Buddha. People don't understand what the Tathagata said.

Sublime said, that's not right. Although this man is studying Buddhism, he doesn't understand it at all. He doesn't understand the truth of Buddhism.

Why? Buddha. Say that I have met people, sentient beings, and those who live long. That is, I don't see people, and all beings see life. This is a name. I meet people, all beings, and those who live long.

Then the Buddha also said, Now you ask me a hypothetical question. I saw it, people saw it, all beings saw it, people saw it, people saw it, people saw it, it was just a verbal convenience; Suppose there is such a point of view, a clear mind and a Taoist point of view. It is just an expression, a name that exposes the true meaning. Actually, Ming, nothing is bright; See, see everywhere, so that I see, people see, all living beings see, those who live long see.

If you know.

Lofty A man with three virtues and three hearts. In all laws. I should know. See you then. If so, the solution. There is no fertility method.

You should pay attention to the Buddha's final conclusion! Those who really study Mahayana Buddhism, develop three virtues and three bodhis, and want to achieve a thorough understanding should "know" all the laws, including secular laws and secular laws, and understand the truth of the Diamond Sutra layer by layer. If you see it, you should have such an opinion, so you have knowledge and insight. The word "knowing and seeing", together with a description, shows that all Buddhist multiplication, especially Hinayana Buddhism, is five steps: abstinence, determination, wisdom, liberation, liberation and knowing and seeing. Practice in order, first observe precepts, then practice, and then develop wisdom and enlightenment from them. Really enlightened, freed from all suffering, but the highest degree of liberation is still the bondage of everything in the material world. When these desires and color troubles and emotions are freed, there is one more thing, that is, what the heart knows and sees still needs to be freed, and finally it is completely empty. Just now, if you know what it stands for, you will know that there is no Ming Ben, and if you know what you see, you will see Nirvana; It is also said here that if you want to become a Buddha from an ordinary person, you must "know so much about all the laws, so see them." How did you know? How to meet? The so-called Buddhism, that is, non-Buddhism, is a famous Buddhism; Then the so-called heresy, that is, non-heresy, is heresy; The so-called devil, that is, not the devil, is the devil; The so-called me is not me, but me. That's it! "Everything", summed up as a whole, can't live in the air, can't live in the air, can't live in the air, can't live in the air, so all the laws should be understood and treated in this way. You have understood and seen this truth. "If you believe", if you are rational and sober, you are not superstitious. If you don't understand the teachings of Buddhism clearly, it's superstition for everyone to learn Buddhism and meditate emotionally! So make it clear what you know. If it's a letter, it's true. If you understand it, it is rational to understand it like this after you believe it. Learning from Buddhism and practicing is rational, not emotional, not blind and superstitious, but rational.

Our own way

Why do you say "lifeless law"? Why not use methods, or live methods, write methods and drop methods? There is a difference between not using these words and using the "primitive" method. First, we need to know what the law is. All phenomena and ideas are phenomena and a form of ideology. Everyone has his own ideas and fantasies in his mind; Fantasy for a long time, become an unbreakable model, and firmly grasp it yourself. This is the form of the field of thought, and the Buddhist term is called practice. Law includes everything, everything, everything and all ideas. For example, everyone thinks that everything is bright and everything is pure light. In the eyes of ordinary people, the subconscious has already formed a form, thinking that when you sit up after enlightenment, it is probably bright inside and outside, and even the generator of the power company can be abandoned. Think of light as electric light, sunlight and moonlight, and subconsciously form a form there. For example, after enlightenment, you probably don't think about anything, nothing matters, nothing matters. You go to the ancient temple and sit there alone, thinking that you have become a Buddha. If we become such a Buddha, it doesn't matter to us that there are another thousand Buddhas in the world; There are many buddhas in the mountains, and there are many stones and mud, which can be called buddhas since the beginning of time. Anyway, they don't care about anything, everything is born. In other words, it is the absolute self, which looks very free and lacks nothing. In fact, it is self, just for self! Think I want this, because his subconscious ideology has this method. Most people know nothing when they meditate. That's not Buddhism. That's your ideology. You created this method. It is even said that all emptiness is Buddha, and emptiness is also law and phenomenon. Someone opened the second pulse of Ren Du, the eighth pulse of Qi Jing, and the turning of the river car, all of which are Buddhism. I often ask: When do you transfer to the river train? Don't turn your head. When you look around ... there's always a time when you don't look back, right? When can I turn to no turn? The second pulse of Ren Du has been opened. Where can it go? Into the sewer? Or go to the power company? Or to the bodhisattva of God? You must find out! However, many of us unconsciously fall into the law of self. Self-consciousness forms a concept of Tao, a representation of Tao and a model of Tao. From this, we can understand why religions in the world describe different paradise because of different nationalities and countries. Our paradise is for those who wear big robes and look like ancient emperors. All the houses belong to ancient China. The paradise of westerners is a house, and his gods and gods are also high nose and blue eyes; Arabs paint differently. Therefore, the sky is formed according to its own psychological form. Who can prove it? These are all ways to form their own psychological subconscious. Buddhism and Buddhism only know sects, also known as Faxiangzong. Faxiangzong began to analyze and study from the phenomenon world, which is everything in the world, the so-called universal law; Finally, we studied the state of mind, the essence of the mind, and even proved the whole universe. In other words, Fa Xiangzong analyzed the existing life and the existing world, attributed it to his heart, and then returned to the metaphysical ontology. If you use a famous Buddhist saying, it is to start with your own body and mind, and then break it, which proves to be a metaphysical ontology. Different from Fa Xiangzong, Hua Yanzong starts from a metaphysical view of the universe, slowly shrinks from the vast universe, and finally reaches the heart, allowing you to know yourself from the ontology. Ordinary Buddhism, you know the noumenon yourself. These are two different educational methods, and we must make it clear. These different routes and methods, the name of Buddhism is Buddhism, are all Buddhism. Now that the Diamond Sutra is almost over, tell us a truth, a very serious truth. The Buddha said to Xu Bodhi that you should realize the supreme Bodhi and become a Buddha. You should know it like this, you should see it clearly and understand it like this, you should believe it like this and understand it like this. How to understand it? In short, don't make a thing in your mind, and don't give birth to a Buddha in your subconscious. Everyone has a different understanding of the realm of Buddhism, Taoism and pure nirvana. Why is it different? It was created by your mind, born by yourself and born by this heart. So don't generate yourself, don't look for it, and don't form the concept of self-awareness. For example, among 100 students in the same class, everyone's understanding level is different, because everyone has their own way of life, which constitutes a phenomenon, which is not true. This is what the Buddhist scriptures say. Many people blindly touch elephants and hold their own goals. Although the blind man touched the elephant and took one, the one he touched was also a part of the elephant, and there was nothing wrong. It can only be said that everyone catches a little, which adds up to the whole elephant. In order to fully understand the whole elephant, the Buddha told us that there is no way to live, and nothing can be done. Below, the Buddha overthrew again.

I'm going over there. Come here.

Lofty Spokesman of the law. Tathagata Illegal stage. This is a naming method.

The Buddhism mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures is not Buddhism at all, so it is called Buddhism. This is often said in the Diamond Sutra. Where is the truth? Those are educational methods. It is equal to the boat crossing the river. The purpose is to get you across the river. If you have crossed the river, don't carry the boat on your back. You should leave the ship quickly and go your own way. There are 12 Buddhist scriptures, and there are various opinions. Sometimes it is empty, sometimes it is there, sometimes it is not empty, sometimes it is empty. Which one is right? That's all wrong. You don't have to be born yourself. Talking about one method includes all kinds of phenomena, such as knowing only sects, dividing the heart into eight senses, and then summarizing the phenomena and procedures of psychological activities into one hundred methods in principle. If detailed analysis, of course, there are more than one hundred; But most people in later generations only learn knowledge, and they can't get in or out. What realm have these people entered? Drill into "being" and all the methods of "winning righteousness and being". Just as the Dragon Tree Bodhisattva said that Prajna takes emptiness as an example, which is different from the education method that only knows Buddhism, while ordinary people learn Prajna and fall into emptiness. Therefore, we can't live, we can't. Finally, the Buddha told us that the so-called Buddhism, that is, "Dharma", is only for the convenience of speech, opportunity and education, with the aim of making you understand. If he doesn't understand this, he always tries to make us understand it in another way. However, after recording his educational methods, future generations will never know whether they cling to what he said is empty or try their best to grasp it. In fact, the Buddha made it very clear that everything is the same. On the contrary, everyone says that the Diamond Sutra is empty. As we said before, the Diamond Sutra does not focus on teaching us to observe the sky. The Diamond Sutra is a cover to block your incorrect statement. As for what is right, you have to find it yourself. I remember at the beginning of the Diamond Sutra, I mentioned two cases of Zen Buddhism. One is a thief that my son learned from his father, right? There is also a case solved in prison. Now let's tell a Zen story.

A young man became a monk and studied Buddhism and Taoism. He wanted to be enlightened and followed the master for decades. This master is always very strict with him, and his life and behavior are very strict. But when asked about Buddhism, Master always refused to talk about it. This man is just like the young people who are studying Buddhism now. It seems that when we find a teacher, we will immediately tell him a clever trick and pass on a mantra or a method to you. Meditate today, fly tomorrow, and become a Buddha. I have formed such a method in my own consciousness. This person's psychology is also the same. But this master, when asked about his true Buddhism, said: Go by yourself! Study it yourself! He thought that he had become a monk at the age of 12 or 13, and had been chanting Buddhism every day for decades. What a good teacher! He is a world-famous teacher and a man of insight, but he worked hard with him, and the Buddhism was not passed on to him at all, which really bothered me. One day, he thought of a way and took a knife up the hill. The master will come back this way. There was only one person in the path, and he stood at the intersection waiting for Master to come back. It was raining that day, and the road on the mountain was slippery and difficult to walk. He saw Master walking slowly with his head down. In fact, his owner may know where this guy is. He thinks he doesn't know. When he saw him coming, he grabbed him and said, "Master, I told you that I have been seeking Dharma for decades, but you refused to tell me. I'm going to die today. " He said, take out the knife. "If you don't tell me Buddhism, teacher, I will kill you. Master is very calm, holding an umbrella in his hand. Seeing him like this, he grabbed his hand with a knife and said, "hey, the road is so narrow." I want to go there. Come here. "Master pulled him over and left by himself. When he heard "I want to go over, you come over", it dawned on him.

We all read "I want to go over, you come over", and he realized this sentence. Where is this truth? This is the so-called Zen case-solving. Now it is difficult for everyone to find the answer, and what I said is not the real answer. I can only give one example: learning Buddhism is the most difficult thing for all of us. When we sit up, our worries in our hearts and our physical feelings are numb, and we are constantly troubled when we don't sit down; I really want to lead an honest and clean life, and I will never lead an honest and clean life. Trouble constantly, ask yourself what to do? Your inner master will definitely tell you: "I want to go over, come here!" " "Trouble runtime is clean. You can't get a heart in the past, you can't get a heart now, and you can't get a heart in the future; If you don't live in Buddhism, you must live in your heart and not live. It's that simple. So, I want to go over, you come over, this road can basically go, trouble is bodhi, where there is trouble to stay in my heart forever! If you try to get rid of your troubles and seek peace, aren't you a master and apprentice who are stuck on the road forever? You see, the education law is very simple. I want to go, you come here, you ignore the knife and the apprentice. This apprentice will be enlightened. It can be seen that he is usually practicing the law of self-growth, with the concept of Buddha and the concept of Tao. Life is most afraid of being possessed. In fact, you have studied Buddhism and Taoism, and tied Taoism and Buddhism together. You are possessed. Buddha magic, Taoism, Kung Fu and cleanliness. Cleanliness is also a magic! Therefore, the founder of Zen Buddhism has a few words: "Mindfulness is a monty". What is Monty? This is just your idea. You made it yourself. " Unwilling to mind is evil. "Attention! Many people fall into this magical realm, just want to sit up and understand nothing, thinking that knowing nothing is meditation, that is, they can't move their hearts, and they fall into the realm of five yin, that is, the yin demon. " I'm sorry. I'm a troublemaker. "Sometimes it seems very quiet. Do you feel quiet? Sometimes I feel a little erratic in my heart, but it doesn't matter, but I am also in a daze. This is the devil of trouble and ignorance. Say something about being possessed Where does magic come from? Magic is entirely made by heart, nothing else. " The mind is Monty. I can't help thinking. It's a demon. I can't afford to fall. I'm a troublemaker. "That's all. Buddhism clearly analyzes the magical realm, and the Zen masters use induction to tell you very simply. In fact, these psychological conditions and realms are spontaneous methods. Furthermore, we know more and more about Buddhism, and finally 12 Buddhist scriptures have been learned. The more you learn, the tighter you are tied by the rope of Buddhism, and you are bound by Buddhism. So at the end of the conclusion, the Buddha told us that not being born is the most important thing. Our conclusion is:

Loose

There is no sign of cranes rustling in the sky.

The weeping azaleas lost their souls.

The sound of the lion pulling the string is intermittent.

Who are you trying to sing decadent for?

This is a feeling. If you have been to the mountains in the northwest and China, or to Mount Emei in Qingcheng Mountain, you may hear the cry of white cranes. China's writing is wonderful. Chicken crowing, bird crowing and tiger crowing represent different sound forms. White cranes are called cranes. The crane crows in the sky, and its sound travels as far as a gong, so this bird is particularly different from other birds.

"There is no trace of the nine cranes", that is to say, the Buddha's statement is like a white crane in nine days, and its cry resounds through the sky, trying to wake up all the people in the world who dream. However, did we wake up by him? Many people in the world can't wake up It's really hard to think about it. As a result, I studied Buddhism all the way and became a cuckoo whenever I became a monk at home.

It is said that Du Fu was an ancient Di Zi who was extremely sad because of national subjugation. Because he cried every day, his spirit turned into a cuckoo, and he still cried until his eyes bled on the soil and became the azalea now. Du Fu has many other names, also known as the son of Du Yu and Di Zi and the emperor of Shu. Those of us who study Buddhism and Taoism in later generations are cuckoo birds, leaving home and children to concentrate on studying Buddhism. In the end, we didn't see the shadow of Taoism, only blaming ourselves for not meeting the master, not meeting the Buddha, and not getting the Dharma. In fact, Buddhism is the most common and simple, and the Buddha said it in the Diamond Sutra.

"The music of the lion string is intermittent", and the Diamond Sutra is equal to the lion string. The piano with ribs on the lion makes all animals have a headache when they hear it. If it is heavier, their brains will burst when they hear it, because the lion is the king of beasts. The Dharma said by Buddha is a philosophy in philosophy, a classic in classics, and a truly metaphysical Taoism in the world. It tells us everything directly, but we don't know. This piano score plays on the lion's string, and this voice plays the Diamond Sutra, Beijing Sutra and Huayan Sutra intermittently. All the brilliant songs are sung to us, but we still can't understand them. Just like a beggar singing lotus drops at the door. No one cares for a long time, and people feel bad.

"Who are you singing for?" ! This is humor to Sakyamuni Buddha. In fact, I really shed tears of sympathy for Sakyamuni Buddha. He has talked about thirty-one products and is almost finished. Who knows him? Why is he talking there? Who are you singing for? It's no use singing again, because it's hard to meet a bosom friend and you'll never understand. In fact, what he said was the kindest and most common words. Let's look back again. At the beginning, the first focus of the Diamond Sutra was three words-kindness and care. There is only one way, whether ordinary people or Buddha, that is, caring for ideas. What do you care? No place to live. Why don't you have a place to live It's simple, not natural. What about the Buddha? It is the same. Eating, dressing, eating, washing feet and meditating are common. There's nothing to take pictures of! My heart is shining! Six kinds of magical powers! None of them came. Eat, dress, and sit in your seat. Then you ask questions and he answers. It's that simple. The Diamond Sutra is the truth in the ordinary and the detachment in the ordinary.
