What does empty view mean? It is "coming back to life, minding the truth"! All your thoughts must come from Buddha nature! This standard is very high! Today, I saw a poor man appear in front of me. I felt a pity because of the poor man's touch. In Mahayana Buddhism, this compassion is born and died, because you climb to the outside world.
The compassion of Mahayana Buddhism is revealed from the true nature and is from the inside out. The standard of Mahayana Buddhism is that all good thoughts, as long as they are from the outside to the inside, have a feeling because of external stimulation, and all good thoughts caused by this feeling are not counted.
So Mahayana Buddhism is called sexual practice. You have to understand that you are pure, you are enough, and you have to show your true merits. It's also a good idea, but the operation method is different. We have repeatedly stressed the importance of methods. In our state of mind, everyone has a yearning heart. Your present heart may make you degenerate, or make you become the solemnity of pure land and the solemnity of becoming a Buddha, but how you manage this yearning heart is very important! Therefore, our minds are full of mines, and our minds are full of treasures. So, how do we show the treasure? I tell you again, this is called sexual cultivation!
Your mode of thinking must be: when I think about my soul, it is full of Buddha's nature and infinite merit and solemnity, but I must use the excuse of repairing things and the karma of giving to stimulate the merits and demerits of giving in my heart; I must use the karma of keeping precepts to achieve the inner merit of keeping precepts in my heart. This is the so-called "trusting others to show my self-nature". It is "everything flows in this dharma realm", which comes from the heart and finally returns to the heart. I repeat, all your good thoughts should be emitted from the Buddha nature, and finally return to the Buddha nature, that is, the so-called "self-cultivation, all cultivation in sex." Therefore, your good thoughts must be based on the truth. This kind of good thoughts is recognized as good thoughts by Mahayana Buddhism, which is called true good thoughts.
On the surface, a bodhisattva is very close to charity in the world. But the appearance of behavior, insufficient has decided your afterlife. As we said, life is determined by your thoughts. Doing the same thing is sweeping the floor. You sweep the floor to make money, you sweep the floor to protect the three treasures, and you sweep the floor to show Buddhism. The advantages and disadvantages are completely different. Therefore, it is very important to manage your own heart in what way. This is called "becoming a Buddha is the ancestor, falling into the pit and falling into the ditch, just fighting for one thought." We must manage our hearts in the right way, so that you can become a Buddha and be a founder, not just charity. That's superficial. Your mental preparation and your method are very important. We usually call it "stop watching". How do you observe it?
