Chapter 980: To Accept or Not to Receive

The Bodhisattva said: Receiving and not receiving are two. If the law is not accepted, it cannot be obtained. It is impossible to obtain, so there is no take, no give-and-take, no action, and there is no way to enter.

Not blinking is staring, not blinking, not looking left and right, and that's the practice.

This bodhisattva's eyes are like a fish. Therefore, knocking on the wooden fish represents being like a fish, diligent day and night.

There are a few words in the "Faith Inscription" of the three ancestors of Zen Buddhism: If the eyes are not sleepy, the dreams will be eliminated. If the heart is not different, all laws are the same.

If you are a Zen student, you should be able to memorize it casually without thinking about it.

He said that if the eyes are not dull, there is no dreaming, not only at night, but also dreaming during the day with our eyes staring.

If you don't think about separation in your heart, if you enter the only way, you will not be born and will not be able to endure without life, and all laws will be the same.

Some of my fellow Taoists taught him to cultivate a method, but they were all deceiving themselves, thinking that they understood, and thinking that they were right, so I didn't bother to care.

If you really study Buddhism, you must have the spirit of a man, and if you are really right, you will go all the way in, and you will be able to cultivate to the end, how can there be so much instigation.

Studying Buddhism is learned by the superior sapiens, ordinary people, no matter how you cultivate, plant a little good root in this life, make a little less mistakes, and be better in the next life, you can't really talk about Buddhism.

You said that the person has to be determined, the qi is clear, don't talk nonsense, just take two steps in front of me and see it.

Is that look fixed? Is the Qi pulse clear? Just look at it.

To receive is to receive yin, to feel the body and psychological feelings, and to accept it is to accept it. The impassability of the qi pulse is also affected by the yin effect, and the qi pulse is playing with the feelings.

What is not subject to? For example, if you sleep very deeply, you don't feel it when you are frozen, and you don't feel it until you wake up when you are really cold.

In fact, when you fall asleep, you still feel it, but your consciousness goes into a coma. When the temperature is low, you will automatically shrink into a ball when you fall asleep, and you are still feeling it subconsciously.

I feel that meditating well, very comfortable and pure, in a piece of light, this is already rare, but I am still in the realm of yin, and I still feel it.

When the feeling is empty, it is a higher level, but it is not yet the end of Mahayana Buddhism.

The Bodhisattva says that feeling and not feeling are relative. I don't feel at all that it's not the Dharma, isn't it faster to take anesthetics? When you practice to the point where you still know what you feel, but you can be empty, you are free from everything, you are pure, you are not even empty, that's the state that you can't attain. That is, what the six ancestors said, "There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust".

When you reach the state of unattainable, you have nothing to take or give up. There is no need to grasp emptiness and purity firmly, this is to take.

Everyone is between the trade-offs in learning Buddhism, this is the mentality of doing business, see if you can make money, do it, and don't do it if you can't make money. Today, I worship the Buddha, so pure, I think that I can only do this, if you want to change the way, it will not work, this is a trade-off.

Taking one Dharma and discarding the other, grasping one side and discarding the other, that is not Mahayana Buddhism, it is just playing in the realm of feelings.

What is pure and unpure? We're sitting here, it's not clean at all, there's an old man sitting there bragging and there's the sound of cars going outside, where is it?

But you feel very comfortable sitting here, and whether you accept it or not is an idealistic effect, and it is all played by yourself. If you don't give up, you can do nothing.

Non-doing is one of the three Dharma seals of Mahayana, and when you do kung fu, you are making a work, and you do it in a certain direction every day, and of course this feeling comes. If you can reach the realm of doing nothing and doing nothing, you will naturally be very free from it, and this is called the only way to enter the world.

Notice that this is the third bodhisattva to give a report. There are 25 bodhisattvas in the "Lengyan Sutra" who report their spiritual experience to the Buddha, so the "Lengyan Sutra" is very valuable. There are 12 bodhisattvas in the "Yuanjue Sutra", reporting their own spiritual experience, all of which are teaching the Dharma to future generations. Now there are so many bodhisattvas in the Vimala Sutra who come out to give reports, but they only talk about principled things, which is also very good.
