Chapter 977: All Appearances Are False
The Bodhisattva said: I, no self is two. I don't have it yet, how can I get it? Those who see my reality do not regain the two, in order to enter the only way.
Pu Shou is fixed, the king who does not move, and those who do not move are really determined.
Self and selflessness are two opposites, and when we really see emptiness, of course we have reached the state of selflessness.
Where am I empty? It's not like us, who sit up and try to beg for selflessness, but I'm still very big about this.
How do I go to empty this me? Buddhism talks about wisdom and liberation, not blind faith.
"I can't get it yet", where is there still me?
If you look for me, there is no place in this body that is me, every cell and every organ is a part, and it can be removed, and there is no me inside and outside the body.
You only have access to this body for decades, and this body belongs only to me, after all, it is not mine.
Ordinary people think that this body is me, but I am not in this body.
Where the hell am I out of here?
Unknowable, can't be found, that's the end of the conversation, to see, to see.
Since I don't have any, I can't find any, so why bother looking for a no-self?
It's like some fellow practitioners who have been meditating for decades and can't ask for emptiness, since they can't find emptiness, Ge Laozi, don't ask you to be empty, and go to sleep with your legs crossed.
Hey!
That's right! It's a pity you don't have the skills.
Anyway, it's not empty, so forget it, I'm not empty.
You try it, you can't do it if you're not empty.
If you really do it, you will succeed, that's the reason.
You see how well the Vimala Sutra is written here, it has an absolute relationship with Zen Buddhism, and the Buddhist literature of the Central Plains has changed greatly since this sutra came out.
"I can't get it yet, how can I get it?" The text is so well used.
If you use "what can you get without me", the taste will change, and the difference between one word will be far worse.
If you study more in this kind of place, the classical Chinese will become better, and the vernacular will also become better.
"Those who see my true nature will not rise up again", seeing that my nature is empty, and you don't need to empty him, then I and non-self will not be opposed, so this is the true way of seeing and entering the only way.
Talking all the way ahead, first seeing the Tao, and then cultivating the Tao. At this point, it's about the kung fu of the set. Now in the realm of determination.
The Bodhisattva of Electric Heaven said: Brightness and ignorance are two. Ignorance is clarity, and clarity is not desirable. Separation from all numbers, equality among them, is the only way to enter.
Dentian is the name of this bodhisattva. The ancient mythology of the Central Plains said that the god of thunder was called Lei Gong, and the god of lightning was called Electric Mother, and it is not known whether they had a marriage contract.
"Ming" refers to the bright realm that has appearances, such as the concentration of the light. Doctrinal ignorance means ignorance; In things, that is, in kung fu, ignorance is darkness.
Zen patriarchs often curse people for ignorance, it is a "black lacquer bucket", when he takes a seat, his eyes are closed, and the front is black and black, and he doesn't know anything. As long as there is a little concentration in practice, the self-nature will inevitably shine.
Clarity and ignorance are opposites. But where does the light come from?
It comes from the reality of ignorance, "the reality of ignorance is clarity, and clarity is not desirable." "When some people see a little light when they are working hard, they think that they are terrible, and they think that they are about to attain enlightenment.
All right! The Bodhisattva tells us that light comes from ignorance, and that yin and yang are born. The Lengyan Sutra tells us that "the net aurora is accessible, and the silence contains the void." But to see the world, it is like a dream. ”
If you want to cultivate, you will be pure, and the light of your own nature will be developed, and when you reach this realm, you will turn back and look at the world, and then you will feel like a dream.
Therefore, if you don't want to do kung fu when you study Buddhism, you will be scattered all day long, and scattering is also creating bad karma. How can this become enlightened? Impossible.
But if you really do the light, it is not advisable to be bright.
The Diamond Sutra tells us a principle: "All appearances are false."
The Bodhisattva also tells us: "Separation from all numbers, equality among them, is the only way to enter the world." "Leaving all relative concepts, equality between clarity and ignorance is the only way to enter the world. He even told us how to use his skills.
