Chapter 908: Neither empty nor real

Such as the fifth great, such as the sixth yin, such as the seventh emotion, such as the thirteen enters, such as the nineteen worlds, the bodhisattva audience is born as such.

These are empty words, in the name of Buddhism itself, which are attached to all the practice of the Dharma.

For example, he said that the fifth is great, and Buddhism only talks about the four majors.

There are only five yin, no sixth yin.

There are only six feelings, and there is no seventh love.

There are twelve in, and there are no thirteen.

There are eighteen worlds, but there are no nineteen worlds.

These are empty views, there is no such thing, don't add it yourself.

This is a wonderful saying, we people who study Buddhism specialize in fantasy, everyone participates in meditation, there is a fantasy in their hearts, thinking that they will not know anything when they enter the meditation, and their thoughts and thoughts are gone, and generally beginners have such thoughts.

Is this what the Buddha told you?

If that's the case, why study Buddhism?

The Buddha also didn't tell us what our eyes saw or what our ears heard after we were in meditation.

He only told us to medify.

What is the state of meditation?

Revision is the concept of emptiness.

There are also people who read the six ancestors in the "Altar Sutra" and said: "Wu Nian is the sect", and they can't find Wu Nian for many years.

I don't want to think about it, even if it's thoughtless, it's just thoughtless at best.

Non-thinking is not the Dharma, and the Buddha once cultivated to the point of non-thinking and then threw it away, so why do you want to seek non-thinking now?

So to really understand the Dharma, don't go into fantasies. Buddhism also says to jump out of the Three Realms, where is there a Fourth Realm?

Yes There is a doctrinal one, called the realm of sages, and that's a hypothetical name.

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas do not go out of the Three Realms or live in the Three Realms, and they are liberating the Three Realms at any time.

You really jumped out of the Three Realms and went to the Fourth Realm, and the Buddha didn't say where the Fourth Realm was.

The doctrinal realm of saints and sages is just a name, for example, a particularly good person is a saint, but he is still a human being! That's it.

We read this passage to reflect on ourselves, and we are all there to fantasize about it.

When you are meditating, you must grasp the concept of cultivation.

How is it stopped? Connecting the heart is the right and righteous thoughts.

Therefore, those who recite the Buddha must purify their thoughts one after another while walking, living, sitting, and lying down, so that they are righteous thoughts.

Those who say this are the Buddha's words, and those who don't say this must be the devil's words.

The Fifth Greatness, the Sixth Yin, the Seventh Emotion, the Thirteen Realms, and the Nineteen Realms that Vimala said are all empty, and all sentient beings live empty, and they are there to dream and do empty things.

If the wisdom of Prajna is not clear, the practice is also empty. Therefore, "the bodhisattva audience is born as if it is like this", the essence is empty, and everything is empty.

It's different when it comes down, it's about the real realm, and you should pay special attention to it.

The first few sentences of the fifth and sixth yin are not there, and the following ones are all there. "Like a burnt grain sprout", will the scorched grain sprout?

Hey, it'll sprout!

There is a saying in Zen Buddhism: "Burst beans in cold ashes", you have to die a lot to live.

The Lotus Sutra says that the scorched buds seem to never be able to do anything, and after the scorched buds are killed on the outside, the Dharma body will be planted.

Physically, as long as there is a little bit of life in the scorched bud, it will still sprout.

For example, if coal is already charred, how can it still make a fire?

For example, garbage dumps can also generate electricity.

These truths are also revealed in the "Lengyan Sutra": "Sexual fire vacuum, sexual emptiness and true fire, the Dharma realm around the world, follow the hearts of all beings, should know the quantity, and follow the karma to discover." ”

You have the practice of kung fu, and it comes out.

Sentient beings have this delusional karma, and it also triggers.

Weishan has been serving Baizhang for a long time, and "Finger Moon Record" records that Baizhang was meditating for a day, and it should have been very cold weather at that time, although Weishan was standing next to him, he was also working hard.

Baizhang saw that the opportunity had arrived, and he had to turn the fire on Weishan, and the fire might be extinguished.

Weishan went to dial it, dialed it, and reported to Baizhang that there was no fire anymore, and he may still complain in his heart, why didn't Baizhang order it earlier.

Baizhang got off his seat and went to dial it, and actually found a little spark, so he pointed it out to Weishan, and this time, Weishan was enlightened.

Later generations therefore made a joke: "Deep dialing, some sons." That's all there is to it. "To be deeply dialed is to work hard, to see through, to see through.

Some of them will only come with this news. That's it.

So the sprouts are not something that is not without, you don't think that the "Vimala Sutra" is talking about things that are not there, but he has a few transfers.

The above ten metaphors are about "illusion" and cultivating the concept of dreams.

Next, from the Fifth Great to the Nineteenth Realm, is to cultivate the concept of emptiness.

In terms of the meditation of the Tiantai sect, the realm of Madhyamaka comes out, and it is a real thing, that is, emptiness is existence.

How so? The following verses tell you.
