Chapter 218 Good and Bad

It is said that when the Zen master said the "Vima Sutra", it is not enough to describe it with the boiling Yangtze River water, which really responds to the current folk sentence "foreign monks are good at chanting".

No, I saw that he was talking in high spirits, shaking his head and saying "good and bad" again-

Fusha Bodhisattva said: Good and bad are two. If you are not good or good, and you enter into the non-intersecting and attained, you are the only way to enter the world."

Fosha is a transliteration. For the reports given by these bodhisattvas, you can refer to the Commentary on the Vimala Sutra published by Lao Gu Xin, which collects traditional commentaries. The way I introduce it is to use modern concepts to make it easy for everyone to practice.

Other scriptures may use "good and evil are two", but here Gumarosh translates it as "good and not good are two", which is a common tone in the Vimalaya Sutra.

Ungood is evil, but instead of the opposing word "evil", the negative word "ungood" is used, which means worse than evil, and it is also more beautiful in literature. When Shi Ru said this, Ruju's eyes looked at Zhang Khan Zhi for a while, and said, "You who study literature, you should pay attention to the literary skills of these sentences in the Buddhist scriptures......"

For example, when children read the "doll book", they often ask their parents whether the people in the book are good or bad. In fact, this concept of good and evil only exists in the metaphysical world, but in the metaphysical Tao, there is not only no evil, but also no good. Those who have truly attained the Tao cannot afford both good and evil. If you are able to avoid the thoughts of good and bad, you will enter the realm of emptiness, and you will reach the path of the Buddha and enter the non-dual dharma.

Therefore, sometimes when we go to some religious groups or schools, we think they are very pure, but we are even more annoyed when we know that they are all right and wrong.

Why so? Because they did not achieve non-appearance, they only pursued moral behavior on the outside. The Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains developed science, which was like the Vinaya of Buddhism, talking about the moral rules of life. However, it later became weak and the party struggled continuously, which was not unrelated to the development of science. It's all a dispute between a gentleman and a gentleman, a villain and a villain.

It's not clear who is a gentleman and who is a villain. Many factions were formed to compete with each other for opinions on good and evil in scholarship and behavior, and the court was finished. Later generations said well about the comments of these physicists: "Usually talk about the heart when you have nothing to do, and repay the king when you die." It doesn't work at all! On weekdays, he is sanctimonious, and his head is the way, but when something big happens to the court, there is no way at all, only to hang himself and throw himself into the sea.

"Good and bad" will not be expanded here.

Let's talk about the "wonderful meaning" in Miao's mind:

The Bodhisattva said: The eye color is two. If you know that your eyes are colorful, and you are not greedy, you are not stupid, and your name is gone. For example, the ear sound, the smell of the nose, the taste of the tongue, the touch of the body, and the meaning of the law are two. If you are aware of the law, and you are not greedy, greedy, or stupid, your name will be extinguished. To settle in it is to enter the only way.

This bodhisattva is the state of practice. There was already a bodhisattva who talked about the realm of consciousness, and now there is another one who talks about the realm after enlightenment, and the sixth consciousness has been transformed into wonderful observation and wisdom.

Ordinary people cannot become enlightened because their consciousness is obscured and trapped by delusional thoughts. So, when the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have attained enlightenment, do they still have consciousness? There are still yes.

A master who learned only knowledge asked the six ancestors, how to turn these eight senses into the four wisdom and the three bodies?

It's too hard to turn around!

Ordinary people follow the rotation, so reincarnation, can turn in the opposite direction, and become a Buddha. The Sixth Patriarch told him, "But there is no truth in the words", changing his name, but not the truth. The name has changed, and the role of things is different, but it is still this thing. It is equivalent to a knife, doctors can save people if they use it, and ordinary people can kill people if they take it, and the difference lies in consciousness. So do the bodhisattvas who have attained enlightenment still have consciousness?

Some. But after enlightenment, do bodhisattvas still have the greed and hatred that plague ordinary people? Greed, hatred, and ignorance are the three karmas at the root of ordinary people's minds, and we see what the Bodhisattva of Wonderful Intentions says.
