Chapter 812: Twenty Grades (II)

"It is like a dream, and it is a vain view." To think that a physical being can do all kinds of activities is to daydream, to think falsely, to think that what is false is true.

"It's like a shadow, and it's a karma." Everyone has five senses, but everyone just looks different, has different health, and may have mutilated limbs, which is not a matter of this life, it is the result of karma in many lifetimes, and the body is just an image of karma. The truth in this is very deep, and it should be solved in the Dharma Appearance, which is not said in the ordinary scriptures, but the "Treatise on the Land of Yogis" makes it very clear.

"It's the body like a sound, and it's all causes." Sound comes from karma, and so does the body.

"The body is like a floating cloud, and it must be changed and destroyed in an instant." This seems to be a literary realm, and the real detailed analysis is scientific.

"It's like electricity, and I can't stop thinking about it." Don't listen to these words with your ears alone, but listen to them with your heart, and you hear them in your heart, and see if this is the case, so that it will be useful to listen to the scriptures. When you listen to the scriptures, you listen to them with your ears, and then you stare at the words with your eyes, that is just engaging in ordinary literature, which is in vain, and belongs to the realm of delusion. Here it is said that electricity is fleeting, and thoughts are one after another, and they cannot stay. Everyone likes to talk about emptiness, what is emptiness? Emptiness is indescribable, it's not that you empty it, it's that it wants to empty you. When you meditate and seek emptiness, you feel empty and pure, you are faking delusions, and that is not emptiness. You don't meditate? Is it empty and gone? The void is the self-emptiness, not the emptiness of you. If you don't understand this truth, you will sit in vain for 10,000 years.

"It is the body without the owner, for the ground." Just as the earth does not belong to any one person, so the body has no owner. You say that buying a piece of land has ownership, which is assumed by human society, but people belong to the earth, and people eventually belong to the earth.

"It is selfless, like fire. It is lifeless, like the wind. "The body is like fire, and when it is burned, it is extinguished. The body doesn't care about life or time, decades are like a gust of wind blowing by.

"There is no one, but it is like water." We see that everyone has a body, and the concept of the world calls each body a "person", but every body is a skeleton piled with flesh and blood, and the appearance has facial features, you call it a person, the truth is like flowing water, what you see has passed, never look back, the body is like this. A wise man is like Confucius, who looks at flowing water and says; "The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night." "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" also said at the beginning; "The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes. Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. ”

"It's not real, the four are the family." The four landlords of earth, water, fire and wind put together this body for us to live in, and we also have to pay rent, feed it for meals, and wash it every day.

"It is the emptiness of the body, separated from me. It is ignorance, like rubble of grass and trees. "This body is empty, without me, without me, without me. The body itself is unconscious, and if it doesn't breathe, it's like grass and rubble.

"It's the body that doesn't do anything, and the wind turns around. It is an impure body, full of filth and wickedness. "Our bodies move because there is breath and the wind is strong. If the wind doesn't come, it won't move. The skin is dirty and smelly, and if you go into the knife room and look at the corpses that have died in the disaster, you won't feel cute.

"It is hypocrisy, although it is pretended to be bathed and clothed, it will be worn away. It is a calamity, and a hundred illnesses are troubled. "People bathe, dress, perfume, and give it food and drink, but after all, it can't be kept, it will disappear. The root of all calamities in the body, the earth, water, fire, and wind, each of which will cause one hundred and one pathologies and cause death.

"It's like a well, forced by the old. He is uncertain, so that he deserves to die. "The body is like a trap, people are trapped in it, watching the old death approach to themselves, and one day they will die.

"It is like a poisonous snake, like a thief, like an empty gathering, and the netherworld is synthesized." The body is so terrible, we review our lives, we are all busy for the needs of this body, all for the sake of this guy we live temporarily, not for the real self. The flesh needs to be eaten, and it is pulled out, isn't it fixing you? If it wants to sleep, you have to sleep, and if it wants to get up, you have to get up with it, isn't it? Empty gathering is a whirlwind whirlwind current, and there is nothing in between.
