People want to be free from suffering, and all the mainstream schools preach this, such as kindness, love, compassion, and so on.

Yuan Changwen suddenly felt a little funny, this was completely misleading.

Why do you suffer? It's because you have a firm grasp of self-definition, and you become obsessed.

When reality conflicts with self-definition, it suffers.

For example, if you firmly grasp the self-definition of "hard work will be rewarded", when there is a setback in reality, you will be anxious and sad, so much so that you can imagine the fear of complete failure in the future.

However, when I finally reap the fruits of success after going through a lot of hardships, it is precisely because I firmly grasp the definition of "hard work is rewarded" that I will have emotions such as happiness and happiness.

In other words, all schools conceal the fact that while suffering or all suffering is abandoned, positive emotions such as happiness and happiness are also discarded.

These two are like two sides of the coin, either neither or both.

Therefore, it is impossible to unilaterally want to abandon suffering and just retain joy and happiness.

Maybe you can make yourself more joyful and less miserable through spiritual practice, but you want to get rid of it?

Yuan Changwen smiled disdainfully, unless he got rid of both.

And the so-called spokesmen of the sects, such as Buddha and Jesus, are subtle misleading masters and preventing people from entering into non-dualistic awareness.

Let's assume that Buddha and Jesus were indeed beyond dualistic awareness, as the sects preach. Or some other description, which is already standing at the very top anyway.

Well, this raises two problems.

First, they become authorities, they become a beacon that stands at the far end. When I followed the various texts to this sign, I realized that it was not a pointer at all, but a glowing wall.

blocking the way forward, and they are the authority. At best, I was close to the authorities, but I still didn't get to where they were. Only smashing the wall, that is, "seeing the Buddha and killing the Buddha". However, it is too difficult to kill the authority of a lifetime, this kind of influence.

Second, what they show is still an individual, still a character. It's easy to ignore that part of their non-dualistic awareness and just treat them as a human being.

Yuan Changwen has such confusion now, knowing that he is just a character, but in the face of everything that happens in reality, he still can't escape the pull of fear.

Even if he sees fear as the reaction of Yuan Changwen's character, so what?

When fear came, I knew that this Yuan Changwen was in fear and not me. I just sensed that Yuan Changwen was afraid, and the fear would slowly dissipate.

It's a character anyway, and if you want to be afraid, you can be afraid.

However, I skipped the non-dualistic awareness.

Wrong!

Yuan Changwen suddenly felt a little self-righteous, and it seemed that he could see the effect of the final killing through logic. But this is just a theory, just a speculation.

It's not that I skip non-dualistic awareness, but I don't enter it at all.

It's like knowing what is behind the mountain through logical reasoning. But just by that, to declare that he has crossed the mountain, to the place behind the mountain, is ridiculous and ridiculous.

The teacher once said, "Stepping into non-dualistic awareness is the end of practice." ”

Yuan Changwen had been trying to figure out what non-dualistic awareness was, but the teacher didn't explain it in detail, saying repeatedly, "You'll know when you get there." ”

"What if I miss it?"

The teacher laughed and said nothing, as if the question was not worth answering at all.

Until now, Yuan Changwen has only learned about it through words. However, it is useless to know, and nothing will happen because of understanding.

I still firmly grasp some self-definitions, even if I know that Yuan Changwen is just a character, and I know that these self-definitions are just attributes of the role...... So what?

After all, it is to deprive oneself of self-definition, and after all, it is necessary to completely kill those attachments.

"What would you have done without this?"

I won't do anything, but Yuan Changwen will be in pain.

Is this what is called suicide? Is it self-inflicted?

Yuan Changwen sighed slightly and shook his head, the path of cultivation is not to retreat if you don't advance. If you don't want to enter, no one will stop you, and if you want to rest, you can do the same.

But the only thing to worry about is this rest, can you get up and move on?

Yuan Changwen knows a kind of cultivation method, that is, after taking the first step, it is impossible to turn back. In other words, as long as you take the first step in that practice, you don't need to worry about the rest at all, and your mental power will automatically grow to non-dualistic awareness.

Even, in that method, the speed of this speed depends on one's own obstacles. If it is not hindered, the whole process will be smooth.

Yuan Changwen looked at this method at that time and didn't believe it at all. Everyone is working hard to understand life and want to improve their spiritual strength. Many old practitioners even go into retreat for several years, or even death retreats, for the sake of cultivation.

If there is such a good thing, why should it be hindered?

But what if the price of this ascension is all self-definition?

People tend to cling to certain self-definitions because that's the only way to make themselves exist.

"I want to work hard to make money", which makes me a part of the society, with everyone, working together to cheer up, and the sense of presence will always be with me. Although there will be a little pain in the middle, it is still much softer than the fear of killing the self-definition.

"I am a cultivator", I also limit myself to the circle of cultivation, everyone is a practitioner, you can chat, talk about the fun and embarrassment in the practice.

All of them use the eyes of others to determine their own existence.

That cultivation method is to improve spiritual power by killing self-definition. But who wants to boost their mental power?

Obviously, it is the role of Yuan Changwen. And in the Famen, the price of promotion is the disappearance of the role of Yuan Changwen, which is the reason for the obstacle.

Another important point is to take the first step.

The whole method doesn't talk about the first step at all, and it seems to be treated as a joke all the time.

I once asked the teacher, but unfortunately there was still no answer, but I knew from the teacher's look that this method was not a joke at all.

Since it's not a joke, why doesn't the teacher let himself practice this method?

And the so-called self-definition of killing is similar to what the teacher said.

Yuan Changwen didn't understand, and he didn't want to figure it out. This is meaningless for the improvement of cultivation. What I need to do now is to slowly find those self-definitions that I firmly grasp, and then cut off that attachment.

Thinking back to the days when it seemed like there were some goals that could not be failed. And when you really fail, you will feel lost and uncomfortable.

Like, there is a hole in the depths of the heart.

Could it be that the so-called cultivation is to constantly expand this void?

The reason why I grasp some self-definition is to cover up this emptiness.

Instinct!

Ha, Yuan Changwen seems to have found his own pattern of behavior as a character.
