There are three names in the Dizang Sutra: "Buddha said that Pu Guang: This Sutra has three names: one is Dizang Benyuan, also known as Dizang Bank, and the other is Dizang Liben Sutra. Because of this bodhisattva, you have been robbed for a long time. You made a big wish and benefited all sentient beings. So, you distributed it as you wish. "
Notes on the Original Vows of Tibetan Bodhisattva
(Volume I)
Master Kong Jing gave a speech.

(This lecture is from the lecture hall of Kong Jing Master's Special Collection of Texts)
The "ground" for underground storage is the earth in terms of things, and the earth is the place where everything lives. Without the earth, nothing can survive, so in China, we attach great importance to the sky and the earth. In the gossip, its phase is Kun Gua, and its virtue is mother. The Book of Changes says,' The most expensive.' To the extreme. This is the earth that describes the birth of everything. Everything is born from the earth, so the earth has the meaning of being able to accommodate, nurture, bear and live. The Buddha used this metaphor to describe our hearts, and our hearts really mean it. In Buddhism, the meaning of abbot, growth and burden. Living, all laws are born of truth, and all laws are born of truth. "Hua Yan Jing" said:' The ideal is there, only knowing how to change.' The true dharma realm where all buddhas live, and the ten dharma realms where all sentient beings in the nine realms live, are all realized according to justice and solemnity. Sex can be changed, everything can be changed. There is infinite wisdom and infinite virtue in self-nature, and all infinity is enough.
The purpose of Buddhist teaching is to teach us to be clear-minded and see nature. Why is this purpose? After seeing your heart clearly, all your problems will be solved naturally. Moreover, this matter can be decided, and the decision can be made. Why are you so sure? Because everyone has authenticity, not from the outside; People outside may not be able to do it. What is the reason why we can't do it? The problem is that as long as we can recover ourselves. In fact, self-nature needs to be restored. Today, there are obstacles in our sexual morality. As long as this obstacle is removed, sexual morality will naturally exist. The so-called clouds will shine. Sunshine is a metaphor of our sexual virtue, and cloud is a metaphor of obstacles; Obstacles are fake, sunshine is real. If you leave the illusion, you are really there, so you don't need to ask the truth; If you ask, it's in vain. You don't need to ask it. If you leave it, it is real.
Sincerely, the Buddha told us that we have three virtues. Dharma body, Dharma body is our true body, which is immortal, neither coming nor going, nor dirty. In Zen, the so-called' parents are their true colors before they die' is this thing. Unfortunately, from the beginning, we were obsessed with our own thoughts and delusions, which hindered our own self-brightness and virtue. This role also suffered a lot before. It's a pity that the function we can feel now is less than 1%, and 99% of the utility is not used now! Why is this happening? Lost, I don't know that I have infinite wisdom and infinite virtue; Lost, lost for too long, lost too deeply, lost too widely. When the Buddha sees us, he will have compassion, help us realize and help us recover.
This is a matter of practice. Because of thousands of lines, the fruit is round, and the practice is boundless. Among the infinite laws, there are convenient laws and inconvenient laws, as the Buddha has said. Therefore, the Buddha speaks infinite dharma for all beings, and Sihong's so-called infinite dharma wishes. Why does Buddha say infinite practice? The roots of all beings are different, and the roots of all beings are boundless. Teaching because of the roots of all beings makes learning easy; If it doesn't conform to the nature of all beings, he will find it difficult to learn. Among all the methods, the first convenience, the first safety and the first ease are nothing more than chanting Buddha. In this sutra, the Buddha taught us to recite Buddha and be worthy of the name. It is a truth and a thing to say that' bodhi mind endures forever' in the Infinite Life Sutra. If we can't accept this method and doubt it, Buddha will prescribe other convenient methods for you. This is really the first method for Buddhists.
Why is this practice the first time? If we carefully observe the fundamental principle that the Buddha told us in the classics, we can understand and realize it. The Buddha told us that all laws | all laws in the world,' what the mind shows, what the knowledge changes', these eight words are fundamental; Everything in the universe has been said. It also clearly tells us that' all laws are born from the heart' and all laws are born from the heart to explain what is known. The heart can present a phase, and the phase change is the function of the heart; This heart is knowledge, the knowledge of the heart, which is what we call it. We understand this principle. When the Buddha says chanting, we will understand, and we will nod. Why? If you read Buddha, you will become a Buddha, and you will be straightforward. Why read the arhat card, then read the bodhisattva to become a bodhisattva, and finally read the Buddha to become a Buddha? Isn't this wordy? Beat around the bush. Why don't you just go and see the Buddha? Among the buddhas, this is what the Buddha told us in the scriptures. Amitabha is the supreme Buddha in the light, the king of all buddhas, and Amitabha is the first of all buddhas. When you read Amitabha, you become Amitabha. When you read Amitabha, you become Amitabha. Why do you want to read other buddhas? Other buddhas are not as good as Amitabha, so why not read the perfect Amitabha directly? For these reasons, we make sure that reading Amitabha is the first priority. Really understand, really understand, my mind is full of Amitabha, that is the real Buddhist. The way of practicing Buddhism, the precepts of Taoism, and all the precepts are complete. You won't break the precepts, and you won't break them. Meditation is a precept. Setting * * * precepts is not as good as Tao * * precepts, and Tao * * precepts are not as good as chanting Buddhist precepts. Unite with Amitabha, share the same wish, unite with one heart and walk with one heart. This is the real dzogchen.
So in this method, Buddhism guides us to swear and read it to our hearts; Chanting is chanting Mahayana. Reading Mahayana Sutra, the Infinite Life Sutra is the first book, which we analyzed with you when we explained it. We don't have the ability to make such an analysis. Gu Dade told us in the Sui and Tang Dynasties that all classics belong to Hua Yan in the end, Hua Yan belongs to the Infinite Life Sutra, and the Infinite Life Sutra belongs to forty-eight wishes and forty-eight wishes belong to eighteen wishes. Now some people advocate chanting Buddha in this wish, and eighteen wishes are particularly important in this wish. Eighteen vows, chanting Buddha in full accordance with the eighteen vows, can I live? Sure enough, follow the decision and live. Just advocate ten thoughts before dying to die. At ordinary times, you can break the precepts, act recklessly, commit crimes, and die when you are dying. That's right. Are you sure you can still recite Buddha when you die? Can you observe the thoughts of some dying people carefully? If he was confused when he died, he wouldn't listen to others reading to him. Before the karma appeared at the time of dying, the Buddha's name did not listen, and even after listening, he was annoyed; I have personally seen such people, who have been chanting Buddhism all their lives until the end of their lives, fearing death and unable to let go. I will be fine in theory, but it is very difficult, too difficult, too difficult in practice! We need to know what kind of good karma this is. Gu Dade is really compassionate. He made a clear and detailed analysis for us and advised us not to take any chances. We must study hard and keep our feet on the ground, so that we can be sure when we die. Those lucky people are bound to fail in the end. Therefore, it is a dangerous practice to advocate one's own wishes and give up abstinence. On the surface, these arguments seem reasonable. That's what the Buddha said in the scriptures. It is unreasonable for you to analyze them carefully. He completely misinterpreted and misinterpreted the meaning of the Buddha, so it is easy to understand the true meaning of the Tathagata!
When the Buddha was alive, the Infinite Life Sutra must have been said many times. Every time this method is preached, the audience is different. According to the scripture, there are so many people who often follow the crowd. Except the crowd, the audience attending the meeting is generally different. Therefore, the Buddha's introduction to Pure Land Sect and the introduction to the western paradise are also different in details, so the classics were compiled later, and the contents of the classics are also very different. As the most obvious, we are now looking at five original versions with 48 wishes, some classics have 24 wishes, some classics have 48 wishes, and some classics have 36 wishes. This is the most obvious difference. If the Buddha only spoke once, then the number of translators, no matter who translated them, must be the same, and there can be no such big difference. This place proves that the Buddha has lectured many times. If you want to have a complete understanding of the western paradise, you must read everything that the Buddha has introduced many times.
In ancient times, Buddhist scriptures were all manuscripts with little circulation. It is a great blessing and a great cause for a person to read five original books in his life. In the Song Dynasty, Wang Longshu, a layman, was blessed. Of course, he must be blessed by the power of Buddha. He only read four of the five books. Buddhist Wang Longshu has never read the translation of Dabao Ji in Tang Dynasty. So there is no limit to life in the Tripitaka, and there are some very important words in this part that are not found in the other four books. Wang Longshu, a layman, is really amazing. Knowing that it is difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to see so many books, he began to collect books. Collection of Books is a masterpiece of original translation. What the Buddha said in various books can be summed up. Seeing this book means seeing all the editions. This is a good thing, and it is merciful!
His book is included in the Tripitaka, which means that all the great virtues of Buddhism admit and affirm that this practice is correct and there is no mistake. Wang Longshu's books have been handed down to later generations, and most of the classics cited in master lianchi's Notes on Tommy Jing Shu were collected by Wang Longshu and affirmed by master lianchi. In the future, there will be Peng's festival school and Wei's party school. Wang Ben and Wei Ben do have defects, and this defect is improper choice; They revised the original text. For them, this modification is no problem, and it is indeed better than the words used in the original translation. Master Yin Guang didn't agree. He didn't agree with his reasons. He was afraid that later people would change their scriptures at will. At the beginning, they set an example, which led future generations to change their classics at will. After this classic was handed down, it was beyond recognition and it was decided that this example could not be set. It is these two points that Yinzu opposes. One is improper choice, and the other is to change the original text, which does not mean that it cannot be assembled.
In the early years of the Republic of China, Xia Lianju's book was published, and it was indeed a perfect version. However, some people are stubborn and opposed to this book. To oppose this book, we must advocate reading five original versions. If you oppose this book and advocate five original versions of one book, you still can't read some important classics of the other four books. The purpose of reading Mahayana is to dispel doubts, give birth to faith and build confidence. This is biased, biased, shallow, ignorant, persistent and wrong. He also said that a layman in Xia Lao is a layman, and a layman is not qualified to collect scriptures. Wang Longshu is a layman, Peng is also a layman, and Wei Yuan is also a layman; Master lianchi is a monk and the founder of Pure Land Sect. Master lianchi can take Wang Longshu's notebook. Master lianchi didn't say that Wang Longshu was a layman, so he was not qualified to meet him. He never said that. If the family can't do this, it must be a monk. This Buddhism lost its equality, in other words, it decided not to go to the pure land. Pure land is the law of equality. With the theme of "purity and equality", your heart is not pure and unequal, even if you recite the Buddha's name a hundred times a day, you won't die. A clean heart is a clean land, a peaceful heart is a flat land, and the western paradise is a clean and equal land. You must understand this truth.
Xia laoju is not an ordinary person. Unfortunately, Master Yin Guang died after his collection of works was published. Yin Zucai didn't see the book. I believe that Yin Zu will admire and agree with this book when he sees it. Why? In the past, Ben collected these problems and he corrected them. His book has not changed a word of the original text, but it is well chosen. At that time, the old monk Huiming affirmed, and the old monk in contemporary Famen Dade Cizhou affirmed. The old monk Ci Zhou told in Jinan with a notebook, and the old monk Mei Guangxi at home told in China Central Radio with a notebook. This book is now circulating all over the world, which is in line with the dying prophecy of the old layman. He told his students that his collection would be sent to China from abroad in the future, and this statement came true. At that time, everyone doubted it, but now it's confirmed that it really happened. He also said that this book will spread all over the world, so Xia Lao's book is exactly what he predicted. We must have firm confidence, decide not to doubt, follow the teaching and read frequently. We try to do what the Buddha taught us to do in the scriptures; What Buddhism can't do, we decided to abide by it. In this way, we can achieve success in this life by chanting Buddha vows and dying. We must believe what the Buddha said.
Every word and sentence in the Collection of Xialaojushi is the original text in five original versions. You can compare five original versions. If you are in doubt, compare the five original versions with each other. I used to print it. The title of this book is The Pure Land Five Classics Reader. There are five original editions and four school-based editions, in which nine versions of the Infinite Life Sutra are printed. You can compare them. There are three versions of Amitabha Sutra, and the three books are translated by Master Luo, Master Xuanzang, and Xia Lao Ju Ji, all of which were printed together. The purpose of printing this book is nothing more than to strengthen the confidence of fellow initiates, which can not be easily shaken, and will ruin our life-long career. It would be a pity.
We should know how to recite Mahayana, convert to the Infinite Life Sutra, respect Amitabha, and learn to practice the method of offering seriously. We have made a detailed report to you during the lecture. How do we provide it? Providing for the Tathagata and all sentient beings, such as teaching and practicing, is really providing, and this kind of providing is really providing for the Tibetan Bodhisattva Mahasa. We summarize the meaning of this passage. If you can really name, recite Mahayana and convert to respectful support, this person's merits and demerits are immeasurable. He is bound to be blessed by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Not only the Tibetan Bodhisattvas, but also the great Bodhisattvas Guanyin, Shi Zhi, Manjusri and Pu Xian are bound to get incredible results.
In this sutra, the Buddha told us that since the robbery, the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha has been shining with infinite body, being universal and living in the underworld. What does the world of the underworld say? How do we study? Are we going to hell? Be sure to understand the meaning of every word in the scripture. The meaning of the underworld is that we keep a low profile and don't need to be known or praised for being good. This is the underworld. Do it silently, work hard, and give up all fame and fortune, that is, in the nether world, achieve your true merits and interests and cherish the interests of the six sentient beings. This passage tells us that our relationship with Buddha and Bodhisattva and the six sentient beings are all ignorant. It is really the so-called law of the jungle that harms all sentient beings. These sentient beings are also ordinary people and confused. Confusion is reversed, and revenge is eternal. If you hurt him, his resentment will always be hidden in Araille's knowledge. How could he not retaliate when he had the chance? This revenge is a disaster in today's world, a catastrophe! The Buddha said that the scriptures said that the sword soldiers robbed. The future sword robbery is nuclear war.
What is the reason for grabbing the sword? Eat the flesh of all beings. The Buddha made it very clear that in order to avoid the sword robbery on earth, unless all beings do not eat meat, this sword robbery can only be resolved. Young and ignorant, do not eat or kill. Ant, we have seen many people commit this crime themselves. The ant climbed home, hated it, boiled a pot of boiling water and burned it to death. We have seen many people do this, and we have done it before. These small animals were killed at will. I didn't know it before, so I realized that I had made a big mistake. Buddhism expresses repentance to us. Today, we understand that we have done something wrong, practice seriously, recite, support and study all the merits and demerits every day, and repay these unjust creditors. We dare not enjoy this merit ourselves, and hope to resolve all these grievances. We have no obstacles on Bodhi Road. Otherwise, it is often said that karma is there. How can his karma not be there? How can these sentient beings killed by you spare you easily? No
We should learn from the Tibetan Bodhisattva, help them break through their mystery and enlightenment with sincerity, and help them get rid of their sufferings and have fun. Like the heart, all Buddhism and all sentient beings grow and bear the burden according to the abbot. Therefore, the scripture says,' the heart is like earth, which can fix everything.' This is comparing the land to the mind and knowledge. We saw the earth today, and our feet stepped on it. We should know that light is reflected back. The earth is our heart, with an equal heart, loaded with all kinds of dharma and all sentient beings. The people you like and love also live in this land, and the people you hate and dislike also live in this land. There is no difference between affection and resentment, likes and dislikes. We should learn from the earth. Our heart used to be the same as the earth, but now it is attached to it, and it is wrong to distinguish between likes and dislikes. In other words, regardless of the place and sincerity, hypocrisy is divided and hypocrisy is wrong. Knowing the false heart points, knowing the hearts of all beings; If you know that the earth is undifferentiated, you will know your sincerity. Therefore, the argument of this passage is true and false. This is the word' land'.
The second is' Tibet', which means Tibetans and includes Tibetan language. People in our world talk about warehouses and treasure houses. Some treasures in the world should be well collected so as to ensure his life safety. If he loses his treasure, he will feel fear and his life will be insecure, so everyone in the world wants to collect these treasures and wealth. The Buddha used this metaphor, and there is a treasure in our self-nature-the secret collection of three virtues. There is a dharma body in our true self, and the dharma body is the real body. In the clan, there is a saying:' parents were their true colors before they died.' True colors are dharma bodies, which are immortal, do not come or go, and are not polluted. The second' Prajna', Prajna is wisdom. After all, perfect wisdom is inherent in us, not from the outside. Even the wisest man is foolish, the world, the other shore, the past and the future are unknown, which is known. If you don't know what you know now, not knowing will be an obstacle. What we know is inherent, and now there is a barrier blocking what we know. This is called the barrier of knowledge. The purpose of knowing obstacles is different from that of worrying about obstacles. Worry is an obstacle, but knowing is not an obstacle. Obstacles Known obstacles are called known obstacles.
If you look at it in the name of Buddhism, delusion, separation and persistence are all troubles, and persistence is completely troubles; Part is trouble, part is obstacle; This illusion is full of obstacles. Some people ask, where does ignorance come from? How did ignorance come from? In fact, Sakyamuni Buddha made it very clear and thorough at the Shurangama Sutra meeting, and the people who read Shurangama Sutra swallowed the dates, so it passed, and the ambiguity passed. The Buddha made it very clear:' If you know what you see, you will have no knowledge if you know what you know.' What do you mean you know? Knowing is knowing, and knowing is universal wisdom. If you want to build a kind of knowledge in what you know, it is wrong. Put your head on it, that's the root of ignorance. Don't build another kind of knowledge on the basis of what you know, and your wisdom will appear; You just want to know, so what can you do? For example. You have seen it clearly. We use this metaphor, and everyone can see it clearly and clearly. This is what we know, this is what we know. It happened that the mage was holding a book in his hand and immediately fell into ignorance after reading it. Is this called a book? Is this called a hand? You made a hand and a book. If you want to build this book and this hand, you are finished. This is ignorance. Buddhism didn't spread to China, and China people are also very smart, so I know:' A name can be named, but it is very famous. Tao can be Tao, but it is extraordinary. "Your name is wrong, that's what you mean, not the truth. Therefore, if you know what you know, you will fall into ignorance and have delusions. There are differences in delusion, persistence, many things are in trouble, and a series of things are coming.
The Buddha gave us a saying, and the Buddha said that I don't hold me. This is great. The sixth ancestor asked Yongjia,' Are you different?' Yongjia answered very well:' parting is not a meaning.' I just don't make any difference. My heart really doesn't make any difference. It's clean. Separate what? Parting for the public. So saying nothing means saying nothing, that is, if you say nothing, you don't know what it means to say nothing, and you don't know what the Buddha means. If you say nothing in two parts, it is wrong to say it, and it is wrong to say nothing. Say what it is? Separation and persistence; Nothing is ignorance, and both sides have fallen. You should know whether to say yes or no, and if you say no, you will know nothing. After this, there will be no obstacles. If you can experience it, the truth of life in the universe will be revealed, and you will really enter the only way. People in the world are living in relative misery, two of them are opposite. It is said that there is a small one opposite the big one, and there is a small one over there, always opposite; Tell me, there is a man across the street. When will you suddenly realize that I am unique to people, to space, to sex and to things, so that you can be enlightened. So where is the difficulty of Buddhism? It's hard in this place. Where is the difficulty? Delusion, separation, persistence, never let go. As long as you can't let go, you won't enter the door of Mahayana, and Mahayana will never be separated from you. Your study of Mahayana is only a superficial knowledge. What is the real Mahayana? You don't know. This is to talk to you about Prajna.
There is another secret, the secret is the secret, and the secret is hidden in the self; Liberation', liberation is great freedom, that is, everything is bright and strict, which is inherent in self-nature This means' hiding', which is called the three virtues, the three virtues in the self. Why is it called caching? The secret seems to be so secret that most people can't detect it, and six roots can't be touched; Being invisible is like being hidden, just like hiding in that place, hiding from being discovered. In other words, all beings can't understand, can't understand, this is called a secret. However, heart and nature really contain all infinite laws, and nature is abundant and endless, which means hiding. Just like the gold mine in our world, this gold mine is very rich in gold. Can be used, inexhaustible. But if you don't know where the gold mine is, if you don't know, it becomes a secret. The Buddha used this metaphor to describe our hearts, the treasures in our hearts. The earth is out of proportion to the heart. The treasures contained in our hearts are all empty, all over the dharma world, and all the laws of buddhas and all the infinite laws of all beings are included in them. All you have to do is to develop new treasures and tell you that worldly law and worldly law are accessible without obstacles.
The teaching of Buddhism is the treasure of developing self-nature. What should I use to open my treasure? That tool must be called sex. If you are not a tool of sex, you can't develop your own treasure. What is the tool of symmetry? It is filial piety and respect, so "Dizang" is called Buddhist filial piety. In today's words, Tibetan scriptures are the treasure of filial piety and respect for teachers, which can develop self-nature. If you can't be filial to your parents and respect your teachers, you will always be outside Buddhism. In other words, you may make some progress in learning Hinayana, but it is meaningless to learn Mahayana. Mahayana develops self-nature, which is different from Hinayana. Hinayana matters, in other words, the world law. The birth method between Hinayana is not available. In other words, even if you study Hinayana, you can only stay in the realm of the first fruit and the second fruit, and the four fruits cannot be proved. In order to prove the four fruits of Hinayana, the highest fruit of Hinayana is to honor the teacher. This is a fact. All the buddhas of Shifang III are Tathagata without exception.
The Buddha said in the Three Blessings in the Book of View that these three kinds of pure karma are the positive causes of the pure karma of the Three Buddhas. This sentence is so clear that it sounds to us that all initiates can remember it and say it, but if they refuse to do it, there is nothing they can do. It's no use saying it a thousand times a day. That means eating a few treasures. What's the use? Be sure to do it yourself, and do it. Promote filial piety to parents and all sentient beings. This is indeed the practice of Tathagata. All living beings are our own parents, not others. All living beings are our teachers. After reading Hua Yan, you should believe it Not only are we all teachers, but yesterday we talked about trees, trees and flowers. Which one is not a teacher? The realm of touching six dust is really a dust and a pore, and we can all wake up, that is, the teacher. I saw a tree yesterday. Its seeds are faith, its roots are compassion, its body is wisdom, its branches are five degrees and its branches are five degrees. Now as long as I see where they are, my heart is full of wisdom. Just what Master Huineng said. When Huineng met the five ancestors, he said to them,' Wisdom always comes from disciples' hearts. Why does he always have no wisdom? The six roots are enlightened when they touch the outside world, which is eternal wisdom. Today, we are troubled by six contacts with the outside world, and we love greedily according to our own wishes. Greedy love is trouble; Don't hate yourself, hate gives birth to trouble. People's six views on the realm of six dusts give birth to wisdom, not trouble, which is different from saints and practices.
The Buddha tells us in the scriptures that we are convinced that there are various ways of our self-nature. This is a treasure, just like there are some mineral treasures on the earth. The earth is full of hidden treasures, and so are our hearts. Why don't we know how to develop them? These four bodhisattvas are four ways to develop the treasure of self. These four methods should be used at the same time, that is, the filial piety of Bodhisattva Dizang, the compassion of Bodhisattva Guanyin, the wisdom of Manjusri and the practice of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra. The four great bodhisattvas taught us to develop our own treasures. None of these four methods can be absent, just as a table has four legs. If one is missing, it will fall down and it will not stand. We must understand this truth. What the Buddha said in all Mahayana scriptures is nothing more than a thousand theories. When buddhas and bodhisattvas understand it, they will implement it. He will benefit from it, and he will gain great freedom and dzogchen. We sentient beings are confused and upside down, lose our self-nature and act rashly, so we engage in six divisions in the wheel of karma, and life and death will never come out.
However, our sexual virtues, whether conscious or fascinated, have not changed; Enlightenment has not increased a bit, and fans have not lost a bit. Why should Buddha respect all sentient beings? Even mosquitoes and ants respect them. Why does he respect? Mosquitoes and ants are also sentient beings, and their sexual morality is also perfect, just like Tathagata. It's just that it's stubborn and has become like this. It's ignorant and reckless and has become like this. Even so, its sexual virtue is still perfect without any defects, so all Buddhas treat it equally, with equal courtesy and support. Among the ten wishing kings, the Buddha did not admire them, but offered them respectfully, which determined equality and compassion.
Be intimate and cherish it for sure. Knowing that you are sincere, this heart is Prajna Bodhi and Dharma Nirvana. Great nirvana is often called mass extinction; Nirvana is Sanskrit, which translates to China, meaning extinction. If we say three words: great, absolute and degree, these three words are attention. Big' is the dharma body; Eliminating' means eliminating troubles, delusions, separation and persistence, that is, great freedom, and great freedom is liberation; Degree is clarity, consciousness and prajnaparamita wisdom. Bodhisattva practices six degrees, and these six things are wisdom. They live a highly intelligent life, and they live a completely intelligent life. We live a miserable life today.
Dharma body, Prajna and liberation are the three virtues of self-nature, which are full of happiness and purity. Therefore, I have always been happy and clean, and we call it the four clean virtues. Chang' is eternal. "Happiness" means getting rid of all sufferings. People in our world talk about bitterness and joy. This bitterness and pleasure are relative. All the relative joys and sorrows are gone, exhausted and fragmented. I mean master, I mean freedom. I can really be the host, and I can really feel at ease. "Clean" means clean, spotless and free from distractions. There can be nothing in my heart. Hui Neng said very well,' It was nothing'. You know there is nothing, so you must add something to it. This is not right. An idea is a thing that cannot be added. Therefore, people who participate in meditation are all chanting Buddhist names and gargling for three days. There is nothing, how can the Buddha get in? Neither does the Buddha. There are no more buddhas. Should I read Buddha? Read it. How to pronounce? Reading without reading, reading without reading, that's right, that's right. If you have thoughts, you have one thing, which is wrong. There are some things you don't need to think about. What is this? There is a kind of ignorance, and you are also wrong. In other words, if you read it wrong, it is also wrong not to read it.
What's delicious? Reading without reading, reading without reading, is good; You can't live on both sides, but neither can you live in the middle. Doing nothing, doing nothing, just as the buddhas and bodhisattvas want to turn into nine dharma realms, show their bodies and engage in various industries. He has no thoughts and no life. No thought, no thought, no life, no life. He gave his life in the Six Tao, which is the same as the appearance of all beings. He left at the same time, and now there is no me. At this stage, it is compassion and enlightenment. Although he is aware of all sentient beings, he has not realized the thoughts of all sentient beings. As the Diamond Sutra says, although he feels all sentient beings, he has no feeling. Scriptures often use clouds as metaphors. What metaphor? No mind, no thought, in Buddhism, nothing can be done. Doing nothing without doing anything, doing nothing without doing anything, corresponds to self-nature, phase, use, self-law, prajnaparamita, liberation and' generosity'. This is a bodhisattva, and this is bodhicitta.
We are in a mortal position today, we are seriously confused, we have deep karma, and we also want to join the realm of Bodhisattva. Where to start? We must start with greed and ignorance. Buddhism and world law are not greed. Prosperity is not greedy, adversity is not angry, starting from here, starting from here; There is a clear line between forward and backward, not stupid. Three good roots: not greedy, not angry and not crazy. Breaking evil and repairing good, breaking what evil? Break greed and ignorance; What are the benefits? Don't be greedy, angry or stupid. From here on, restore our own treasure, because greed and ignorance are the most serious obstacles; The most serious thing is that we can't achieve today, that is, we can't stop greed and ignorance. No matter how hard you study, you can't get into the door. It's a blessing to have a lifetime. If you don't practice filial piety, your blessings will not be enjoyed on earth, but among hungry ghosts and animals. This is the truth, we can't help but understand.
