Wu Wei couldn't find the right words to describe the strange experience he had for a while. Later, when I gained the knowledge of the Buddha, I realized that it was the pure mind, and I regretted that I did not further realize the emptiness of the mind. How many years have passed, he still feels that his ambition to build a bridge between religion and the world has failed. One night, he was reading Buddhist scriptures, looking for answers between the lines, and when he read the words "heart and body", he suddenly realized that the heart also has a body, and the heart can be understood as the void between the computer desk I was sitting on and the TV next to me, and this void was extremely pure, of course, we had to ignore the air dust in it. Since it is a void, what is the difference between it and the cosmic void outside the room? It's just a wall across the roof. Then I thought of the emptiness of the mind, which is the emptiness in my body, and what is the difference between the void of the universe outside my body? It's just through my body, so that the void of my heart is magnified into the boundless void of the universe. The void of the mind and the void of the universe are inherently the same body, and they are both made of the void. This understanding suddenly connected his past knowledge into a whole. The Buddha is pure, the Buddha's heart is pure, my heart is also pure, the Buddha's heart is empty, my heart is also empty, the Buddha's heart is no different from my heart, and the bridge between religion and the world that I painstakingly want to build is actually only in my own heart, and the so-called artificial division of the two worlds of monks and laymen is originally one. When the pure mind is the Buddha's mind, the distinction between the two worlds is no longer there, and there is no bridge of communication.
The mind also has a body, and if the mind has no body, it is completely unperceived by others, and it is insulated from people and will not be realized by others. If the heart has a body, it can be felt by the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body, and it will not make people feel difficult to understand and grasp. The mind is both tangible and intangible, and both physical and incorporeal. No wonder Shenxiu said that his heart is like a mirror. The six ancestors Hui Neng said, the mirror is not a platform, and each says that the heart is tangible and intangible. The heart is rooted in the human body, connected to the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body, and bound by the eyes, ears, nose and tongue. The mind is spiritual, beyond the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body.
He thought of the conversation with Wang Wei about how to put down the heart, and at that time, he just raised the question of where to put the heart if he wanted to put his heart down. Wang Wei was inspired, and he just wanted to put his heart down, but he didn't think of where to put his heart, and he felt that he had taken a step forward in the direction of solving the problem. Now Wu Wei realized that the mind and the universe are the same body, and belong to the void, and then return to the issue of letting go of the heart, this question suddenly becomes clear, and he chooses a place for the heart to be placed. It's like choosing a place to put the universe.
Wu Wei continued to read the scriptures and understand the scriptures. The mind is seeing, and seeing is both tangible and intangible. Seeing can also be understood as seeing. Seeing is seeing and not seeing, and there is also seeing in the heart. Seeing is seeing and not limited to seeing. Seeing is limited to what is within the reach of the eye, and what is beyond the sight is the mind. Seeing is much more than seeing is seen. The heart is better than the eye. The heart sees it as if it were seen with the eyes. That's what we're talking about. Seeing separates seeing and seeing, and there is an essential difference between the two in one. Seeing that there is no way to transcend time and space, and what will happen in a few years, decades, and hundreds of years later, it is impossible to see. But you can see it in your heart. Seeing the same things, but seeing completely different things. The difference between abstract thinking and figurative thinking, abstract thinking is the mind, and figurative thinking is the eye. The six ancestors have too high a comprehension. Illiterate means that he can't see it, and he can understand it when he hears it, and his ability to see is extraordinary.
The human heart is wonderful, but people do not know what the heart is. People only see things but they can't see the nature of the mind, and they can't see the essence of their own nature. Seeing that there is no self does not exist in isolation from all things, nor does it have its own nature detached from the image of things. There is no perception of objects and images. The nature of the mind is both visible and intangible. If the mind is formless, and man cannot perceive its existence, it will always be insulated from human beings. The nature of the mind is intangible, and it is even more difficult to understand and grasp. Seeing is the mind. Seemingly nothing. Realize that the mind and body are both tangible and intangible. The mind is an invisible body of light, and Shenxiu Hui Neng speaks of the visible and intangible nature of the mind respectively. A body of light is a body of particles. The heart and brain are one, and they are all composed of particles. Heart-to-heart, telepathy, indicates that the heart body is composed of particles and has the function of conducting electricity. After such a complex mental activity, Wu Wei's sporadic perception formed for a long time suddenly achieved a qualitative leap, a huge mental body, composed of countless particles, no wonder there were countless thoughts and thoughts. The mental energy is huge, and a huge energy field will be formed. The mind and body are infinitely filled in the world, but the self is like a speck of dust, if it exists or dies. My heart is in my body, and it is not exclusive to me.
Seeing is also seeing the heart, but seeing covers the mind. There is a hidden insight in the eye. What the eye sees, the eye itself does not recognize, it is the mind that recognizes, and the mind, or what we usually call consciousness, is the mind. The heart can be clear in an instant, and it is beyond the power of the eye.
The mind is the vision of the inner imagination. Everyone has this kind of spiritual experience: when one's own indulgent thoughts are in a state of free association, the thoughts, thoughts, and pictures that come to mind, although they are not related to each other, present a state of divergence and jumping, but they are generally related to people's life experiences, life experiences, life pursuits, and appreciation preferences, and it is the root of life that potentially controls them. Just as the roots of the vines are controlling the stretching of the vines, they can crawl forward, climb up, or entangle according to their different habits, calmly and slowly, and unyieldingly, so that it can be like a girl's makeup, hair like a waterfall, fine as a weave, and long arms stretching out, no matter the courtyard, the field, the field, the mountain stream, whether it is flat and straight or rugged and steep, any thing and any place can become the stage for it to stretch and pave. This is very much like everyone's handwriting, unpretentious, handy, feel anywhere, pick up anywhere, interpret at will, integrate into the pen, but sprinkled, delicate and casual.
Just as the vines climb to reach the topography and landform stretch and pave, the heart also shows its artistic conception in an orderly manner according to the root of life, and its stretch and paving has a specific ideological connotation and social content, of course, it can also be recorded, deciphered, interpreted and given by the master of the heart; It is also the collection and purification of life footprints, philosophical understanding, emotional condensation, and accumulation of life energy; It is also the combing of life, the ultimate expansion of the artistic conception of life, full of longing for the future, and becoming another catharsis and display of vitality; It has the reality of memories, the illusion of imagination, the discovery of novelty, the beauty of appreciation, and the tremor of the heart; It's boundless. It is grander and more magnificent than the horizon, magnificent and colorful, it is faster than meteor lightning, it can contain all things in heaven and earth, and gallop through the vast universe and time and space.
The infinity of the mind certainly stimulates and releases the mind, but such stimulation and release will make the mind difficult to stabilize. The stability of the mind requires a kind of heaviness. Nobility, morality, responsibility, and honor are not only the elements of civilization that bind the mind, but also the cornerstone and reassurance of the mind. Heavy and light. It is to achieve the two balance points of mental stability, and to achieve the stability of mental nature through the balance of the two poles. Too much weight makes the soul lose its elasticity and vitality, and goes from stability to death; If it is too light, it will lead to a kind of indulgence. Too much weight and too light will cause mental instability. The polar balance of the mind requires art, and the pressure cannot be pushed to the extreme, and the loss of elasticity makes it unbearable; Nor can it easily become difficult to contain. Life needs the kind of fullness and overflowing experience brought by heaviness, which is injecting and accumulating the energy of life, and looking forward to the burst and release of life vitality in longing; It also needs to be relaxed to stretch and vent. Taste that kind of vividness and freedom; It is more necessary to adjust the maneuver between the two poles of heaviness and lightness, and only in this way can it be possible to give the heart the charm of art.
The human mind has a miraculous nature and contains infinite creative power. Nothingness. It is the state of the mind that is free from bondage, so easy that it is nothing, and this non-existence is not a state of nothingness and nothingness. It is a state of freedom of choice. The nature of the heart, said small, is so small that it cannot tolerate a person, a thing, a thought. Being firmly occupied by a thought or idea is like being rooted and locked, and it has a strong repulsion to other people, things, things, and thoughts. Saying that it is big, it can accommodate the affairs of the world, the feelings of the world, and the reason of the world, and its greatness is simply measured by the entire universe. Small heart, commonly known as careful eye, careful eye is not a bad eye but it is very easy to do bad things; A big heart will certainly help to achieve great things, but it is also easy to ignore the details and fall short, resulting in lifelong regrets. The heart volume has such a large elasticity, the key is to think. The narrowness of the heart is sad, and the macro ambassador of the heart is honored. The narrowness of the mind cannot be filled with anything, and the grandeur of the mind cannot be filled with anything that fills in the dissatisfaction. The grandeur of the heart breeds the heart of heaven and earth,
Wu Wei reflects on the bizarre experience he once had. He said that he was thinking about how to make people's hearts feel at ease, and suddenly realized that he was snobbish in his heart, and wanted to cling to the heart of power, and realized that any power is actually unreliable, it is fleeting, and there is no need to worry about its existence or loss. As Jiao Mei said, people are just like a flat boat, wind and rain, gains and losses, and people in the world often rely on making friends with power and power. People in the world think that powerful people can say a word for themselves enough to work for a few years or even a lifetime, at least they rely on it and gain a sense of security. But he gradually found that snobbery is impermanent snobbery, snobbery is not common, and it is not there in an instant, so he is disgusted with snobbery. In this way, the idea of relying on snobbery is cut off, and relying on snobbery can only rely on oneself.
Buddhism talks about impermanence, want to pin on any external power to feel at ease, but in vain, can only make yourself fall into a precarious situation, feel and extremely difficult to find a place to make their hearts at ease, just at this moment, a kind of supernatural phenomenon that is difficult to accurately describe in words has appeared, as if the heart is suddenly illuminated by something, the brain feels a bang, and what I feel is to enter a state of extreme joy and peace and tranquility that has never been before, and any joy and happiness in the world will be inferior to it. Immediately, I felt free from the entanglement and shackles of external life goals, and my mind was free to stretch.
For Wu Wei, this strange experience, although it only appeared for a moment, changed the meaning of his life and his attitude towards life, and he felt a significant purification and improvement in his heart. This strange experience helped him realize that all kinds of encounters and fates in life are opportunities to educate life, and realized the importance of understanding the nature of all things.
From then on, it was as if it had been enlightened by super wisdom, and no matter what kind of things it encountered, it could penetrate through it, and there was no sense of blockage in the mind. Wu Wei realized that there is a deep need in the human heart, and this need can only be satisfied by the feeling and experience generated by the heart. The code to solve the peace of mind is originally stored in one's heart. Outer goals are only means and instruments to satisfy the deep needs of the heart, they are no longer a shackle to the heart. After this experience appeared, I am still constantly reflecting on its meaning, it magically dissolves and transforms the long-standing idea of being the Tao and being a person, and the very strong attachment that he has existed in is replaced by an idea of helping the world and saving people, as if he has reached the feeling of spiritual destiny, and unexpectedly enters a state of tranquility and serenity.
He has reached that artistic conception, and his mind has found a place to put it, but he does not know how to help others achieve such a mood. Nowadays, the art of teaching success and the way of peace of mind can be described as a sea of books. According to the experience of the world, the art of success is easy to learn, but the way to peace of mind is hard to find. The art of success belongs to the level of method knowledge, and in the past I used to divide knowledge into different levels, and accordingly divide people into high and low. Nowadays, if you think about the place of peace of mind and find the place of peace of mind is not knowledge, even if you tell someone how to have peace of mind, but he just doesn't think like that, it is difficult to have peace of mind, and knowledge is not effective in seeking a place of peace of mind. How to place the mind is completely part of wisdom.
Enlightened the Buddha and helped him find the answer. The mind and the universe are one and the same, the same emptiness. Trying to find a place for the mind is like finding a place for the universe. The mind is one with the invisible and the tangible. Wu Wei put the place of peace of mind on saving people in the world, and saving people in the world is also boundless, tangible and intangible, boundless and vast, everywhere and all the time, it is unfathomable and can be pondered, and the heart is placed in such a place, boundless and implemented to daily use. At this point, reading the scriptures and understanding the Buddha made him come to the place closest to the wisdom of the Buddha, and the mind was not placed in a house, a car or any other limited existence, but on the boundless surface of helping the world and saving people.
The eyes are the window of the mind, and they are a fitting reflection of the characteristics of the mind, and the eyes are only a corner of the mind. The range of the eye is still too limited. The closest thing to the mind is consciousness among the six consciousnesses, and the infinite artistic conception is the closest to the ontology of the mind. The enlightened mind is inseparable from the body, and it is the perception that occurs in my own body, and what belongs to me is inseparable from the body. Each of the six consciousnesses contributes to the enlightened mind from different perspectives.
Wu Wei continued to imagine, what is the meaning of the enlightenment of the mind? First, the original nature of the mind is extremely clear; the second is that there is no entanglement and trouble; The third is to find a place for the heart, just like to find a place for the universe, which is foolish and delusional, and the mind is at ease; Fourth, the nature of the mind is too wonderful, comparable to the beauty of the universe; Fifth, the heart is pure, like the earth, sowing seeds, growing and multiplying, implanting all kinds of good ideas; Sixth, the Buddha's heart and heart are one, the heart is pure, the division of the two worlds is artificially demarcated, there is no difference, the communication between the two worlds does not need any bridge, originally in the heart, since in the heart, the heart is the same, the so-called idea of building a bridge is also a delusion. It doesn't matter about the bridge. As the Buddha said, the Dharma is also the Dharma of the world, and there is no difference.
The knowledge of the nature of the mind is a universal type of knowledge. The heart is omnipotent. Albert Einstein said that light bends when it passes over the surface of the sun, and he concluded based on physical gravity that light is made up of particles. We learned that even though we were hundreds of millions of kilometers away, it was as if we had seen it with our own eyes. Einstein's heart can get there, and so can our heart. The heart is one.
The mind resides in the human body and is not limited to the human body, but it creates delusion and prejudice, and there are human organs, giving birth to the six senses, and producing a series of self-interested concepts. The heart, which is originally the easiest for people to understand, is the most difficult for people to understand because of the six senses. The Buddha was a supermaster who developed the treasures of the human mind.
The root of the heart is in the human body, and it must be limited by the human body, and it depends on enlightenment. Realize the nature of the mind, and be of infinite use. If you don't know your own heart, it is useless to study the Fa.
