Chapter 832 Forty Pins

It's okay to have a high level of insight, but we are ordinary people who haven't climbed to the ground at all, and we haven't achieved anything in cultivation.

The earth is like a floor by layer, if you want to enter the bodhisattva land, listening to this Dharma is very simple, it seems to understand everything, but the greed, hatred, stupidity, slowness, and doubt of confusion make the roots, not shaken at all, it is useless, and it is still rolling in the six realms of reincarnation.

Even worse, if you have a wild view but don't really practice, and if you don't see what you have broken, don't talk about what you have broken.

Even if you can memorize the three Tibetan and twelve parts, you can't resist it when life and death come! The suffering of the four separations, you can't do anything without practice.

When I was young, I thought I understood everything, but when I realized that it was serious, I didn't dare to be arrogant. I have taught you with my own experience of hardships, and only when you have proved that you really understand, but it is useless for you to understand your thoughts.

The Vimala Sutra is a rebuke to those who have already attained enlightenment, and we must pay special attention to this, otherwise there would be no need to talk about this sutra.

Those who study Buddhism know that it is so difficult to become a Buddha, so it is better to take a shortcut and recite the Buddha well.

Nian Nan no Amitabha Buddha was reborn in the Elysian World, so as not to get lost in reincarnation.

Coming to Elysium is not to become a Buddha, it is to study abroad, and in that environment, there are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who can teach the Dharma at any time, and there is no need to pay tuition, and there is no wind and rain, how convenient it is.

This question must be clarified, otherwise listening to the Vimala Sutra will only be disadvantageous and not beneficial!

Those who study Zen cannot do without the Vimala Sutra, but how many people who study Zen and do not practice at home will eventually enter reincarnation.

I make this point in particular, pay attention!

Vimala told Maitreya that you should know the educational route when you teach others, and you should teach them to renounce the discriminating mind of mental consciousness and to distinguish the bodhi view, what is the discriminating bodhi?

We all always think that we are ordinary people, that Bodhi path is unimaginable, I don't know when we will see that thing, just like a poor person wants to get a treasure, and he has been suffering until he is old, and he has not seen a treasure.

Where's the treasure? The treasure is in your own place, and it has not fallen, and everyone has a treasure.

The Lotus Sutra is likened to "the pearl of the poor child's clothes", and the treasure of our self-nature Bodhi Dao is in our clothes, not the clothes we wear, but in the skin that our mother gave us.

Delusion and Bodhi are originally two sides of the same coin, so Vimala said that we should give up the view of separating Bodhi, and the present moment is Bodhi.

Afflictions are bodhi, and as soon as you let go of your troubles, your troubles become cool.

Knowing that you are thinking something wrong is Bodhi.

I'm going to hit you, my hand is raised, I think to myself, no, my hand is down, this knowledge is Bodhi. Therefore, Bodhi is "giving up the view of separating Bodhi".

This is the key point, when you meditate, your eyes are idle, and the Zen patriarch scolds you for working in a ghost cave! You feel like a black hole, no thoughts, shaking, shaking, very clean, well, you're about the same.

I think it's almost damned! It's all the realm of discriminating mind, and it's all about finding the Tao in the body.

Vimala said, "Bodhi is not attainable," not physically.

Then you say that I don't care about my body, and it's an outer way to keep the qi and veins, and I'm not an outer way, so which one are you?

Internal tract or esophagus? He said again, "I can't learn from it", this time it's over, where is it?

Vimal lay man left a hand, and halfway through his speech, he said that the Bodhi person cannot attain the body, and he cannot experience the mind.

I will add to him the other half: Bodhi is not separated from the body, nor is it centrifuged, and it is not there and it is all there.
