Chapter 973: What is Happiness
So where is the phaselessness? There is no phase in the phase. This is more difficult to understand, "one phase is no phase", because the phase is the law of birth and death, not stopped, understand, the present is, one phase is no phase, no need to find another phase. But it is also "not to take the phaseless", so it is not right for you to keep the void, and you want to take the phaseless phase and then you will take the phase again.
In fact, one phase can also be used, and no phase can also be used, as I often say: "Sometimes I recite the Buddha of the Ten Directions", and if you have the heart of reciting the Buddha, you will definitely be reborn in the Western Elysium; "Nothing to do and watch a piece of mind" is the realm of unphased and Zen.
This is the dual practice of meditation and purity. In this way, there is no "equality" and there is no contradiction and opposition, which is the only way to enter. The Pure Land and Zen, the Pure Land and the Secret Land, are all the only methods.
Let's do an experiment, if you look at the word "two" in the book, everyone understands that two horizontal is two, which is because of the character and realizes the meaning it represents.
If you don't go through the ideology and just stare at the "two", after a while, you will not recognize it, and you will not know what it is.
Because these two horizontals are a concept, you can understand the meaning of this word, and when you think of the concept of two, there is a role of consciousness behind it.
The text itself, before our eyes, is a phase, and it is originally empty.
It's very easy for you to meditate and realize emptiness, so you write a big "two" and stare at it in front of you, and you don't know what you're looking at after looking at it for a while. So all phenomena are inherently aspectless.
Here, there are many teachings about the only way, and many of them can be experienced in reality and enter the realm of the Dao body, so you should pay attention to it yourself.
The master Bodhisattva said: The blessing of sin is two. If you reach the sinful nature, it is no different from blessing, with vajra wisdom, you can decide this phase, and those who are unbound and unsolved are the only way to enter the world.
The teacher is not a lion, but a teacher of man and heaven. Sin is generally about karma, and blessing is good fortune. A person's blessings come from good deeds, and afflictions come from karma in this life and actions in this life.
Sin and blessing are opposite, and good and bad are closely related, and people are suffering from sin in life, especially when they are old, they will suffer from birth, old age, sickness and death.
Completely disease-free and painless, the mood is always happy, which is the greatest happiness.
If you can do this, you are a person with good fortune, and the good fortune is not necessarily more money or high status, the more money and power, the more troubles he may have than ordinary people.
So what is sin and what is blessing is difficult to define. From the perspective of the two schools of Confucianism and Taoism in the Central Plains, what is happiness? Contentment is what it is.
It is happiness for people to be content with reality, but the psychology of human beings, whether ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, men, women and children, is not satisfied with reality, which is a common disease of people, so there is no happiness. Where is true happiness? As Zen Buddhism says, "the present is what it is", right now.
Now you have a chair to sit on, and you have a copy of the Vimala Sutra in your hand, no matter if it is two or the other, just put your mind away, then it doesn't matter if you are talking about Buddhist scriptures or singing, you will be comfortable with reality immediately, and this is a blessing, just between a thought, this is the non-two.
A fellow traveler said that he came by horse-drawn carriage, and he drove a newly built road, and then told me that this road was called the Horse Killing Chicken Road, and I was confused.
He explained that because the road was uneven, the carriage roared past, and the road was bumpy, like the road was giving us a massage, and I laughed dumbly.
If you change your mentality, it is strange that you don't scold the people who build roads while riding in the car, this is an example of being content with reality. From this sin and blessing to the horse killing the chicken, you see that it is obviously sinful, pinching and pinching people, and telling the master to be heavier.
Hey, a little more will hurt to death, a slight pain and irritation, we take it as enjoyment, and seek blessing in the midst of sin. It can be seen that sin and blessing are only the difference between our concepts, born from different thoughts and feelings, and their nature is the same thing.
