What is the difference between folk fortune telling and ask m _ ask m?

Do you know what "ask M" is? Has anyone tried it? If you haven't tried, do you believe it?

Bodhi has no trees, and it is not a stage in the mirror; Nothing. What caused the dust?

Whether it really reaches the highest level is not necessarily/as Master Huineng himself said:

When it's cooked, it's cooked, but it still needs to be sifted/

........................................

However, precisely because "there was nothing, where did the dust come from", we still have not reached the realm of inheriting the mantle of Zen. Don't forget what we listed above, because the situation of "nothing at all" is like the realm of plum blossoms in Xue Yue. Although Leng Yan is wonderful, it is an empty and lonely side, which is lifeless.

When the sixth ancestor was fully conscious, he was in the room on the third night. The first question that Wu Zufa put forward to him, "You should have no home, but you should have a heart", made him further understand the essence of the heart thoroughly, so he said, "Self-nature is time and tranquility; What self-nature period, this is not birth and death; When is self-nature, it is self-sufficiency; The self-nature of what period has never wavered; When you are self-sufficient, you can have all kinds of laws. " This is the realm of "epiphany" and "enlightenment" that represents epiphany under the Zen Zongyan.

However, don't forget that after he realized this, he stayed in the hunter's team and practiced for fifteen years. From this, you can understand that in the Shurangama Sutra, there is a combination of epiphany and gradual change, while Zen is a combination of epiphany and gradual change, just as the Shurangama Sutra says: "If you have epiphany, you should sell it by taking advantage of it, and you will get it every time." Pay equal attention to each other's meaning. Now let's talk about Zen. If we grasp the sentence "there is no such thing", we can do anything. It's strange not to fall into crazy Zen knowledge! You should know that Zen has a level of rigorous practice, not empty talk or arrogance, but it will be similar to real Zen.

1. Six ancestors enlightened

There are two problems to see nature and beauty clearly: several different versions of the Six Ancestors Tanjing, which have been passed down from generation to generation, are not much different from the descriptions of various Zen classics and the stories of the First Enlightenment of the Six Ancestors. China Zen Buddhism, since Hongren, the fifth ancestor, has taught people to recite the Paramita Sutra of King Kong, which can be humane and change the mage teaching method initiated by Lengyan Sutra. This can only be said to be a change in teaching methods, which is no different from the purpose of Zen; The Diamond Sutra takes the understanding of nature as the main theme, and explains the true meaning of the emptiness of the universe (wisdom) everywhere. Among them, the method of practice verification takes the word "caring for good thoughts" as the core, explains the empty reality with "no past experience, no future experience and no present experience", and understands that "you should have nothing worth living" as the index.

Now, in order to roughly understand the truth of Zen's treatment of the mind, let's make a relatively simple explanation with modern concepts, and also let everyone practice according to this as a simple method of cultivating the mind and nourishing the nature:

(1) First of all, we should quietly observe our inner psychological ideology, and then simply summarize it into two parts: one part is the thoughts and concepts born of feelings, such as pain, pleasure, fullness and warmth, hunger and cold, etc. These are all within the scope of feeling and lead to activities such as perceptual association and fantasy. Part of it is due to conscious consciousness, such as inexplicable emotions, boredom, distress, and separate thinking about people and things inside and outside me. Of course, it includes thinking about knowledge and learning, and observing the role of one's own psychological function.

(2) Secondly, when it comes to activities that can understand people's psychological function, whether it is feeling or perception, in short, it is called a thought, so that every thought between thoughts can be clearly observed, and then it can be regarded as three observations: whenever the previous thought (thinking consciousness) passes, the later thought (thinking consciousness) comes, which is called the current heart, which is the current thought. What hasn't come yet, of course, is the heart of the future, that is, the idea after the event, but it hasn't come yet, so leave it alone. However, don't forget that when you think the latter idea hasn't come yet, it is the present idea, and then you realize that it is the present, and immediately it becomes a thing of the past.

(3) Again, if you observe this introspectively for a long time, you can see the past heart, the present heart and the future heart clearly, and you can practice. The past heart of studying now has passed, and the future heart of studying in the future has not yet been born. Now the mood will be slightly, gradually, showing a blank.

But this blank is not before coma, syncope, or death. It is clear that an ethereal period, that is, the time when Zen master Song and Ming said that the light shone.

If you can really achieve this situation, you will feel that all your conscious thinking, whether feeling or perception, is like a floating lamp, like a wild goose flying across the sky. The wind comes and the water goes, so-called flying snow, until there is no trace, you will know what you have thought and done in your life. It's just floating dust, which can't be caught at all and has no roots to follow. Then you will realize that "the heart was not available in the past."

(4) Third, if you understand the impossibility of thinking about the past, present and future, take the following formula as an example and turn it from your own reflection into a smile.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

——————————————— From the beginning.

..... future ... present situation ... past. ..........

0+ 1- 1—— 1- 1=0

Therefore, recognizing all the clouds in this heart is much ado about nothing. Further observation, breaking the pressure felt by the body and urging the body's behavior by thoughts are all like bubbles, although without self-observation, they all seem to be my activities in a straight line. In fact, my activities are like electricity, like sparks, like running water. It's all because of endless thinking about karma. After all, it doesn't exist, so you will naturally feel that mountains are not mountains, water is not water, body is not body, and heart is not heart. All these, just like the wonderful ups and downs in the world, you will naturally understand that "having a heart without living" is actually the wonderful use of "having a heart without living".

(5) The second time, after you understand the state of psychological conscious thinking, you should always keep this bright and vivid sobriety and awareness, just like the clear sky in Wan Li, so that you can really understand the true meaning of life and find a real place to live, but don't think this is the sobriety and awareness of Zen! Let alone think that this is the so-called enlightenment of Zen! Because at this time there is a function and significance to show the spirit, you don't know where it has come and gone! At this time, it was the master Hanshan of the Ming Dynasty who said, "It is easy to turn under the thorn forest, but it is difficult to turn around under the moonlight curtain"!

These are all modern ways to explain people's psychological activities, and at the same time, they also show some news that the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism listened to others recite the Diamond Sutra to "have no place to live", so that you can understand the degree of your inner experience when Shen Xiu, the elder brother of the sixth ancestor, said, "Being a bodhi tree, your heart is like a mirror platform". Therefore, we can know that the bodhi of the sixth ancestor has no trees, and the mirror is not a stage. There is nothing, where is the dust? " If we compare the two, we can naturally understand that Hongren, the fifth ancestor, wants to call the third ancestor's room and entrust him with his mantle. However, just because there was nothing, where did the dust come from? ",we still failed to achieve the attainments of inheriting the mantle of Zen. Don't forget the situation listed above, because the situation of "nothing at all" is like the realm of Xuemei. Although it is very cold and wonderful, it is really empty and lonely. When the sixth ancestor was fully conscious, he was in the room on the third night. The first question that Wu Zufa put forward to him, "You should have no home, but you should have a heart", made him further understand the essence of the heart thoroughly, so he said, "Self-nature is time and tranquility; What self-nature period, this is not birth and death; When is self-nature, it is self-sufficiency; The self-nature of what period has never wavered; When you are self-sufficient, you can produce all kinds of laws. "This is the realm of" pause "and" enlightenment "that represents epiphany under the Zen Zongyan. However, don't forget that after he realized this, he stayed in the hunter's team and practiced for fifteen years. From this, you can understand that in the Shurangama Sutra, there is a combination of epiphany and gradual change, while Zen is a combination of epiphany and gradual change, just as the Shurangama Sutra says: "If you have epiphany, you should sell it by taking advantage of it, and you will get it every time." The meaning of "equal attention to each other. Now let's talk about Zen. If we grasp the sentence "there is no such thing", we can do anything. It's strange not to fall into crazy Zen knowledge! You should know that Zen has a level of rigorous practice, not empty talk or arrogance, but it will be similar to real Zen.
