What does the name of King Kong Prajna Paramita Sutra mean?
Unsolved by everyone: you can break all laws, break all troubles, achieve prajna and great wisdom, and go out to Hayden to achieve classics. That's a matter of explaining words according to the text. Look at the explanation of the name to know the degree of grasp of the content of this book. In fact, it should be the way to achieve the highest intellectual achievement, as simple as that, and later generations are complicated. Dharma Ben, Xuanzang Ben and Tang Yijing added the word "can be broken" in front, which is not a simple repetition, but a prompt after grasping the meaning most accurately. Later generations think that repeating the meaning of King Kong is wrong, but breaking refers to the problem of breaking the law in the highest wisdom, that is,
What is the essence of Diamond Sutra?
From the analysis of the topic, we can know that it points directly to the central content. Prajna is about intellectual achievements, that is, five Prajna achievements: 1): reality 2): realm 3): writing 4): convenience 5): family. Why add a maximum value? According to the Buddhist scriptures, the person with supreme enlightenment is not Bodhi's initial enlightenment, but what to do, how to maintain and how to continue to make progress after obtaining supreme enlightenment, that is, after achieving the Five Prajnas. The highest Vajrayana refers to the way to further promote to Vajrayana Prajna after the Five Prajna, that is, to have a correct attitude towards the Five Prajna and break the bondage of the Five Prajna, and the uncovered life is the achievement of Vajrayana Prajna! This is the content before the fourteenth chapter of the Diamond Sutra, and it is also the reason why the Diamond Sutra Prajna Paramita Sutra got its name.
It's not over yet. The following classics seem to be revisited, and Ananda asked again. In fact, the content is very different. It is to further analyze the highest prajnaparamita obtained after breaking the five prajnaparamita and get rid of the final ignorance problem: the same highest prajnaparamita, besides the five prajnaparamita, and more importantly, there is no one with the highest prajnaparamita. How can it be the highest Prajna, or even all the realms of words, thoughts and consciousness that we have established in this world?
What should I do after reaching the highest prajna paramita? That's the normal down-to-earth way. The naked eye is the naked eye, sand is sand, knowledge system or knowledge system, but I have fully realized the truth. Such as the immobile essence and the quiet and nihilistic state, I also think that all the phases in the material world and the spiritual world are manifestations of self-nature, passers-by and temporary illusions, which have no influence on self-nature. Everything will come back and forth, and I will wait and see. Therefore, although the naked eye is still naked and the sand is still sand, it is completely out of bondage. Therefore, the Zen case says: seeing a mountain is a mountain, not a mountain, or the level of a mountain is really an image explanation of the essence of the Diamond Sutra.
Some people say that "the clouds are too clear", which is generally understood as: always look at the problem from the perspective of clouds, the clouds are floating, and everything is illusory. This is the opposite. What it really means is: the self-nature is too clear, everything is like a cloud, and the clear cloud floats, but it doesn't matter if it is too clear, and it doesn't matter if it is self-nature. This is the real solution! Zen master has a saying: the mountains stand high and the sea is deep. Do it knowing it's an illusion! The mountain outside the self is motionless, unchanging and quiet; The flesh crosses the world, to be a ship in the sea, to cross people! This is also the last sentence of the Diamond Sutra: Everything has a way, such as dew, electricity, and dreams, so be sure. If you know the illusion, you will see the Tathagata, and if you know the illusion, you will follow the path of Bodhisattva!
3. How to guide practice after understanding the essence of the Diamond Sutra?
Why are there so many people who have learned the Diamond Sutra in later generations? This is actually determined by the height of the Diamond Sutra. The Buddha has said in the scripture that he does not seek Mahayana, but seeks perfection. This is not a comforting method to encourage everyone, but a real situation, a refutation and analysis of the highest wisdom. If the Diamond Sutra is a landscape that can only be seen at the top of the mountain, then many comments from later generations are from all angles and heights. Of course, it's like watching the scenery. Because of this, it is even more misleading. Therefore, there are many annotations in later generations, but they are still unsatisfactory, and even many contradictory places make people feel at a loss because of its height!
Then how to guide practice? There is a key question: everyone knows that it is useless to practice according to self-nature, so what is self-nature? It's hard to say, even the Buddha finds it hard to say clearly, but self-nature can be understood from the other side, that is, self-nature can be seen from "non-self", so the most critical issue is "non-self"! ! Buddha said: if you get the dharma without me, you will be a true bodhisattva. Of course, this is an insightful aspect. If you really understand whether you can become a bodhisattva, you can only get it with a practice certificate! So what is the real "no self"? People who study Buddhism think this is a simple question, so there is no need to study it, because everything is illusory, so there is no self! Everything is empty, so am I, that's what the Buddha said, and you forced yourself to believe it. Buddha said that everything is illusory, such as dew, electricity, representing life and death, not nothingness, nor emptiness! If you think emptiness is the true meaning of no self, then why does the Buddha talk about normality, happiness, self-nature and tranquility? Is it not contradictory? It can be seen that being separated from all phases and all laws of birth and death is just constant birth and death, not nothing. From this, the problem of emptiness, nothingness and nothingness is a departure from Buddhism from the beginning.
What does "no self" mean? The Buddha said that "no self" is not "no self" but a name "no self", and everything is the same! ! How to understand this? Buddhism is too simple and profound to begin with. What do we do? The Buddha told us the way out. All Buddhism is worldly law! If you can't understand from Buddhism, look for it from worldly law: without me, I'm gone and lost. Where can I find it in the world? If all visible, living and inanimate people in the world are called "colors", then our knowledge, consciousness, thoughts and established writing and knowledge systems are called spiritual worlds, and then the color world and spiritual world are the objects of self-reflection! By analyzing the phenomenon of non-ego in the color world and the spiritual world, we can know what the real "non-ego" is!
The best example in the world is neurotic patients. When it comes to neurosis, we all know people who have lost their self-nature. Of course, this self-nature is not the same as that in Buddhism, but everyone knows me! What happens when a neurotic person loses himself? An example is a doctor who studies this subject. When he first arrived in a mental hospital, he felt that the most difficult thing was that he could not communicate with mental patients. They are all opinionated. How can he get close to them? She found a patient, whose appearance was not abnormal, and she didn't talk in a mess, just squatting there with an umbrella every day! She wanted to be close to her, so she squatted beside her with an umbrella. After a day or two, the patient finally said, "Are you a mushroom, too?" The doctor understands her reason! This is an example. We find it funny that the patient is lost in the material world, but her whole thought and consciousness is like a mushroom. Her spiritual world is the mushroom itself, where there is no herself, and she doesn't realize her existence and difference. This is the state of "no self"! Is completely lost, completely entered the state when he was completely unaware of himself! This is the eclipse method!
The loss of spiritual world is the most common for mental patients, that is, because of paranoia and paranoia. It is easy for everyone to understand. Through them, we can know what the absolute "no self" is in reality. Or a good Buddhist term is borrowed from the realm of "perseverance", which we say is "no self" and reversed. But why does the Buddha say that our beings are also upside down? Because we are typical of losing ourselves, only in different degrees, just pot calling the kettle black. As the saying goes, officers should concentrate and have the same energy to achieve results. In fact, it is also a loss! This is just a new term. The obvious sense of stage loss is that artists devote themselves wholeheartedly to their creation and are completely immersed in their own creation. Here, he got lost and changed a more enviable word "intoxicated"! Enjoy more, but actually lose it! So do musicians. No matter how good an actor is, it is selfless to enter the role. Everyone usually has this kind of experience, which comes from inner love and despair. In fact, they just don't consider their own gains and losses! ! The Buddha said that human beings are upside down, which means that people are lost in their own conscious world and think that the conscious mind of the body is themselves.
Of course, we are not crazy because we can separate the spiritual world from the material world and control our own spiritual world! If a musician is addicted to music all day and doesn't come out, he is mentally ill. From the above, we can know what it is like to have no ego in the laws of the world! The "no self" here is not that I don't have it, but that I am so absorbed in it that I have forgotten myself! What does this have to do with "no self" in Buddhism? Are you completely intoxicated with Buddhism, that is, cultivating self-cultivation? Don't think like that! This is the biggest mistake! The law of this world is called losing yourself! If you practice Buddhism like this, you will lose yourself, not really "no self" Just like music in the world, it is wrong to stick to Buddhism. The key reason here is the problem of internal and external heart! Seeing the self is called seeing the heart and seeing the nature, which means seeing the Tathagata, not the kung fu of entering the dharma, but the kung fu of leaving the dharma! From all the phases, all the laws and all the consciousness realms until all the knowledge systems are broken, then the state of tranquility presented is clear and quiet, free from any pollution, and the ubiquitous consciousness in this state is the essence of self. It is also a state of selflessness, a state of relying entirely on self-nature, which is really hard to say and irrelevant. The Buddha is also embarrassed! But the way is to realize that there is no ego in the world and make a reverse effort. Leaving all the shackles, the state of selflessness is really "no self"!
So how to practice after realizing the true "no self"? There are probably two stages, one is the fruit position below Lohan, and it is necessary to maintain this quiet state to achieve this state, which is mainly manifested in the transformation of the flesh and the passage of Qi. There is also a wonderful bodhisattva fruit after the heart is solidified, that is, the ability of the heart to change things. The "emptiness" in front is followed by "Miao", which is the content of the cultivation stage! Followed by the four-shot, six-degree, Bodhisattva line, is the process of doing all good dharma. Doing dharma well at this time is not a state of selflessness, but a very clear understanding of the relationship between self and each phase. I don't have to do it without thinking, but it is a natural degree without goodwill and sympathy. That is a clear and free and easy! The so-called state of standing on the top of a high mountain and walking on the deep seabed? "
Only by understanding what is "no self" can we understand the essence of Buddhist scriptures, the realm to be achieved by Diamond Sutra and what is the highest prajnaparamita achievement! Of course, if we understand "no self" in this way, we should not go into another misunderstanding, that is, everything the Buddha said is false, and everything we see is illusory. At first, we came to the conclusion that there is no ego because there is nothing, and then we came to the conclusion that there is no ego, but no ego, and everything is not illusory. That would be wrong again. The Buddha's descriptions are all false, referring to the impermanence of life and death such as dew electricity and the nature that cannot be adhered to, so "whether there is me" is the role of consciousness, not the role of nature. It is for the sake of self-nature to say that there is no self-identity, but forgetting myself and practicing the "I" of the universal wisdom in the world to reach the realm of "no self" are not the same meaning.
Buddha said, "There is no self". First, everyone is equal without me. Second, the law has no self. First, everything is "like dew, like electricity, like a dream, as it should be", and it is impossible to implement hallucinations. Second, if there is no self, you can't see the "no self" in practice. To see the scenery, we must completely indulge in it and blend in it, so that we can truly appreciate the beauty of the scenery. If you think I am looking at the scenery, then I am me, and the scenery is the scenery. You're taking pictures of the scenery! Knowing this difference, we can know the state of "no self", but the function of "phase" without self is different from that of "law" Without self, we see self-nature. Buddhism without self really practices according to self-nature, and the "without self" of Bodhisattva's life is the highest state of "without self" after getting rid of bondage, that is, there is no self measurable and unpredictable.
4. The depth of the world's understanding of the Diamond Sutra
The world here refers to the comments and common sense opinions you see, not all people. They have no contempt and self-esteem, so they are blessed! Why do you say depth? Because I have learned the Diamond Sutra these days, it takes several stages to gradually deepen. I recorded it today, so I can know the level of understanding. The Diamond Sutra is beneficial to the understanding and revision of certificates at all levels. It is also because it is the highest goal, so all levels and angles are the same, and its final destination is the same, so the guiding role is the same. Today, from the perspective of breaking the five kinds of Prajna and reaching the highest Prajna, many statements in the scriptures are accessible and there is no inversion. If you look at your own experience in the Diamond Sutra, you will know that it is not in place. At that time, you were intoxicated with it and thought it was right. This is because you have a shallow foundation. Second, you are influenced by the thoughts of your predecessors and go astray. Then you will go down this road. Thanks to the help of Buddha, I finally escaped from the net, but is what I got today over? After the exam, maybe what I got today is just a process, just like the other day? Don't worry about what you get, but always be careful to verify your mind. This is the basic attitude! Today's mental journey is described as follows: the depth of the Diamond Sutra was originally four depths, which was worse than the Prajna depth mentioned above:
First, empty:
The empty solution that all people in the world get from illusion is to work hard on the analysis level of "phase" and ideology on each phase of the color world. For example, the levels of "emptiness" are different. First, we should talk about phase emptiness, law emptiness, fruit position and Buddha emptiness, and use the level of "emptiness" to explain the contents of scripture.
Second, there is no place to live, away from everything:
Further to the level of practicing Buddhism, it is people who have worked hard to practice Buddhism, not as theoretical researchers. We can get a correct understanding, that is, nothing is lacking but not persistent, and leaving the phase is the way to practice Buddhism, but it has not broken the problem of "no self", because we work hard on "leaving" and know that we are villains and stay away. In fact, there is still the idea of "I", but it is just pushed away. Its essence and obsession are the two ends of a pole, or you just haven't put it down on your shoulders and have been working hard to "separate". In fact, you are in a hurry and thought you were studying for a certificate.
Third, send its heart:
This is the first floor I found after watching it several times, and there are too many to count. The Buddha said that having a peaceful heart is not an end, but a peaceful heart. From this perspective, the Diamond Sutra talks about: first, living without a fixed place, and then talking about cultivating the mind: what is the method of cultivating the mind, how to cultivate it, what it is like and how to cultivate it. Like giving or something. (At this time, I will pick out the same topic and different words in the classics one by one and compare them. )
Fourth, supreme mindfulness:
What should be done to achieve supreme enlightenment? We should get rid of all aspects, get rid of the shackles of words, and do all kinds of good methods to obtain resources and achieve supreme consciousness. However, the repeated problems behind this solution are incomprehensible. The naked eye is the eye, and the problem that sand is sand cannot be explained clearly, which is very contradictory. It is only from the perspective of breaking the knowledge system established from the perspective of people that it is understood as the final ignorance, so that it is "no self". I can only realize that all practice should be completely self-absorbed and completely intoxicated, which is the real state!
Five, this is added after today, five prajnaparamita, the highest prajnaparamita, and the practice method after the break.
First, you can reach the highest Prajna by reaching "two without me" in the "six degrees", and then you can reach the highest Prajna by reaching "two without me" one by one in the five contents of Prajna itself, and then you can go to the world. This profound understanding can best reduce the contradictions in the classics. From then on, if you have a high understanding, you will not be wordy, and you will gain something. There is no doubt that this is a real solution, right? This is only after the scriptures are put aside.
To this end, there are several short sentences to describe the mood at that time: smile:
First, the world only says that "King Kong" is empty, and if Mr. Wang is broken, there is no place to live; How do you know that you haven't survived halfway? You won't know your heart until you get home. (On the third day, there was not enough comment on writing! ! )
The second is: a glass of white water is empty, and you feel full after drinking it; Who knows this is a cocktail? All tastes are colorless.
5. About Changle, I'm Quiet
Only by understanding the Diamond Sutra can we know the difference between normality, happiness, self-nature, quietness and bitterness, extinction, impermanence and selflessness, and we can also know the meaning of the Buddha: when you are quiet, you can get "quietness, constancy and self"; If you do all good dharma, you will get "I am happy".
6. Understanding of "Moment":
Time represents history, and history is marked by time. All this is a knowledge system established by human beings from their own perspective, full of people, me and all beings. Therefore, when the Buddha said "temporary", he wanted to get rid of the concept of time. Except me, Buddhism is spread and studied by the knowledge system established by human beings. Therefore, although it can be viewed correctly and used correctly, it has no important influence on the spread of Buddhism. "For a while" is the role!
7. It suddenly occurred to me that when the founder of Buddhism came to preach Buddhism, people invited him here for this purpose:
The founder said, "people who are not bullied." This shows why the knowledge system becomes an obstacle; Even words are obstacles, for example, there is a blackboard in the classroom, but there are no words. People come in and have a look. The first consciousness is a blackboard; If you write "This is a blackboard" on the blackboard, people will ignore the blackboard when they come in, read the words, read them clearly and then return to the blackboard, laughing and saying that it is a waste of time! If you write "Is this the blackboard?" Ordinary classrooms will say pranks, but if it is written by a university philosophy teacher, it is very different. Students will immediately follow the train of thought of this sentence and demonstrate this sentence with their own philosophical thoughts; If you are a Buddhist researcher, you will immediately explain it with emptiness, illusion, man and me. It is a blackboard, not a blackboard, but a blackboard, which comes from my argument; People who study literature will expand their communication, which is the garden of knowledge and the wings of flying. In fact, this is just a blackboard, and there is no other meaning! Therefore, the role and reaction of knowledge.
