Chapter 872: Eighty-one Pins
Therefore, we should not be emotional, but absolutely rational, and seek the correct Dharma to check the four non-following methods. What is Dharma-rectification? For example, the Mahayana sutras, such as the Huayan Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, the Lengyan Sutra, the Ranga Sutra, the Profound Tantric Sutra, the Vimala Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, etc., are absolutely Dharma correct and cannot be wrong. The ancients said that only by understanding one scripture and one theory can one really be qualified to learn Buddhism. In the Tang and Song dynasties, you couldn't become a monk casually, you had to pass the examination of Buddhism, you could designate a sutra or a treatise, he would take the test of your scripture, and if you passed, the state would issue you a diploma, which was a degree, not as easy as it is now. If the monks break the law, the government can chase him back. After the arrival of Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, there was a time when the country's finances were in trouble, and the funds for wars with foreign countries were insufficient, and they also sold excessively.
Therefore, if you don't understand the scriptures, you won't understand the Fa-rectification. Generally speaking, the "Great Prajna Sutra", "Diamond Sutra" and "Heart Sutra" all belong to the Prajna system, and in the Chinese Buddhist system, they belong to the sexual sect, which directly talks about metaphysical Tao and clear mind. There is also a knowledge-only system that starts with scientific psychology and starts to cultivate step by step, which is called Xiangzong in China. These two systems belong to the Fa-rectification. There are also many Dharma-rectifications, such as the 37 Bodhi Paths and the 12 Causes. To put it more simply, Buddhism says that the Dharma of the mind is the Dharma, and everything that is cultivated according to the mind is.
From practicing the Dharma, we gain and are filled with Dharma, which is the bodhisattva's joy and true generosity.
In other words, if you want to save all sentient beings, you should teach them the Dharma, not to follow the wrong path, not to follow the convenient method, and "I would rather go to hell with this heart than give away the Dharma to others."
But don't make a mistake and become stingy, and if you study the Fa with you, you have to take a red envelope to take refuge, otherwise if you don't give away the Dharma to others, it will become an evil Dharma, don't use this sentence casually!
"With wisdom, walk in the heart of sacrifice." To give is to let go, to give away.
What it means to let go is to throw it away.
Buddhism talks about compassion, compassion, joy, and giving, and we reflect on each word, have we done a minute and a half? It's just a matter of mouth.
If you can't do it, how can you learn Buddhism? You say you've given up everything, alas! It's just that there's still a body!
Hum! I can't give up that, let me tell you, people can't do it if they want to give up the outer realm, it's not that you want to leave the children of the family, the children of the family are the dojo, where to find a pure place?
If you are sacrificing your heart at home, your family is all sentient beings, so wouldn't it be better to sacrifice for them?
Although there are few people, there are only a few! He refused to give up even for his family, refused to sacrifice himself, and said that he wanted to learn Buddhism to save sentient beings? You can't even survive a ghost!
What is sacrificiality? With wisdom, walk in the heart of sacrifice. Yes, it is a practice.
Taken, that is, included in.
Random photography is not wisdom, for example, when it comes to charity, many people have experience, and when everyone talks about some people who are pitiful, I agree to give some money.
Someone advised me why I should pay for it, and I said I would take the lead! The right thing to do is to give up.
But when someone mentions that they want to help someone, I say no, you can't even give a dime, and if something goes wrong, you help him, and the karma he commits will be even heavier.
They superficially agreed, and went to help him behind my back.
Afterwards, he came back and said to me, "Teacher, you're right." This is the one who does good deeds and is wise.
The more we let go of our hearts, the emptiness becomes, and then the wisdom of emptiness is initiated.
The more you can't let go, the more you can't afford wisdom. If you want to be pure when you meditate, you have to give up your mind, and you want to get rid of your troubles and delusions, but you can't get rid of them, because you don't have the wisdom to practice.
Whether you can let go or not, whether you can throw it away or not, that's a matter of the attainment of Prajna's wisdom, it's not that you just let it go if you want to.
You can't throw it away! In fact, the better you sit, the more you can't let go, how comfortable that fixed realm is!
I can't let it go.
The truth in this middle should be clarified, and that is the cultivation of wisdom.
The wisdom of the Dharma is empty, and if you are empty, your sacrificing and giving will be greater, and if you are not empty, the heart that cannot be given up will be increased.
