Chapter 890: Ninety-Nine Grades
If the concept is incorrect, no matter how well you do it, it will be useless.
If you only work on your body, this physical body will be born, old, sick and die, and it will pass, not the Dharma.
If you have the right insight and have the right deeds, although this physical body will pass, it will be less sick and less troubled.
If you want to be disease-free and not die, you have to have a special method, but even the Buddha himself refuses to do it.
Therefore, when the Buddha and the Buddha meet, they also have to ask each other, "Is there less sickness and less annoyance, and is it easy for sentient beings to survive." ”
You young mages have learned this sentence, and you can use it in writing letters to each other in the future, but don't talk about whether it is easy to be a believer, that is a theocratic term. Buddhism uses the term "believers", where all beings are equal, by the way.
"Those who seek the Dharma are not asked to do what they want to do." Knowing what to think about is the five aggregates, and we all know that.
Briefly for the newcomers: Thinking includes material and physiological aspects, and the four major ones are all thoughts.
Receiving is the feeling aspect, and the physical and mental sensations are called receiving.
Think, is the mind of the mind.
Xing includes the inner thoughts of the body and mind, as well as the external space and time, and the line is a kind of movement, and everything in the universe is moving at any time, every minute and every second.
Although the meditation is settled, the heart will still beat, and the blood is circulating, that is, the yin has not stopped, and the qi and pulse have stopped above the three meditations, and the yin cannot really be stopped, but only temporarily cut it off with his own strength.
This requires understanding the 24 uncorresponding mental actions of consciousness, which are beyond the control of the will.
In other words, the driving force of life is to act in the yin.
Knowledge, the eight senses all belong to the scope of knowledge, and there is a special course to study the "Theory of Enlightenment", which is not explained much now.
The so-called aggregates include physiology and mind, including perception and feeling, so it is relatively easy to understand.
The aggregates are the five distinctions that represent the whole body and mind of life.
Vimala said that those who really want to seek the Dharma do not seek the Dharma in terms of receiving and acting knowledge, that is, they do not seek the Dharma in body and mind, and just now they said, "Do not be greedy for their lives."
"Non-bounded to seek", "boundary" is a Buddhist term, there are eighteen worlds, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, are the six roots of various physiological functions, sound, fragrance and touch, is the external and physiological function of the opposite of the six dust, is there a boundary between the six roots and the six dusts?
No, I looked at my watch and saw it right away.
Is there really no boundary between the eye and the watch?
Absolutely, in Chinese, it is said that "there is no room for hair", not even such a fine distance as a hair, people who study physics know that there is a boundary in between, so the eighteen realms of Buddhism are not accidental, not for theoretical differences, but for practical and scientific differences.
Therefore, the six roots and six dusts, plus the boundary in the middle, make a total of eighteen realms.
There is another secret in this boundary, why does the Dharma say that there are eighteen levels of hell?
This belongs to the scope of mathematical philosophy, and the number of I Ching is also related, the number of various nouns of Buddhism, the Seven Awakening Branches, the Eightfold Path, etc., this number is not random, there is the most profound truth, so it is easy for people who have studied mathematical philosophy to learn Buddhism.
"Enter" is twelve, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, color, sound, fragrance, touch, six dust is sometimes called six in, but six dust and six into the different, the ancient masters are very painful when translating, with all their scheming, but with six dust is more literary, with six into the scientific.
When you look at your hand, is it the hand that enters the eye nerve's line of sight, or does the eye nerve line of sight come to the hand?
That's a problem. If people want to ask this, those who study Buddhism have to participate in this way. It's the hand that puts the light of its image, enters my vision, and then the optic nerve goes to the brain, so I know that there is a hand?
Or is it the ophthalmic nerve that radiates vision to the hand and only perceives it? Some people may think that such a long talk is too long-winded, and when you see it, you can see it!
But those who really study Buddhism should study it here. Translated into six, it has the effect of root dust entering.
