Chapter 946: The Achievement of Prajna Wisdom
Then comes the question of men and women, why are there men and women? How big is the relationship between the appearance of this man and woman?
Is the male body really a man, and the female body really a woman?
You're going crazy when you think about it, and you don't think it's any, so what is it?
I often say, why does this woman have long hair, apply it to her lips, and paint it on her eyes, just like two? Why is it different when you shave your hair? The physical appearance of this man and woman has so much to do with our sentient beings.
There are four or five words in the middle of the "Vimala Sutra", so don't listen to the excitement, forget it, then this "Vimala Sutra" is studied in vain.
The text of this Vimala Sutra is easy to understand, but I am now working on it, and there are also Taoist friends who are willing to pay for it, and the commentaries of later generations do not need to be used, but only the opinions of Master Kumarosh and the great masters who participated in the translation work at that time on the Vimala Sutra are collected into the "Vimala Sutra Commentary".
In addition, there are also Taoist friends who are sorting out the excerpts of the recitation of the Vimala Sutra. It doesn't seem difficult, but it's a hassle to do.
There are several main points of the Vimala Sutra mentioned above, and now the next point comes.
At that time, in the ashram of Vimala, there was a bodhisattva called Universal Appearance. The four great bodhisattvas of the manifest teachings are the Bodhisattva Puxian, the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva Manjushri, and the King of the Earth Bodhisattva, all of which are ancient Buddhas. The qualifications of becoming a Buddha are earlier than that of Shakyamuni Buddha, because Shakyamuni Buddha came to this world to become a Buddha, and their ancient Buddha came to this world as a Bodhisattva to assist Shakyamuni Buddhism to transform sentient beings, so Fuxian Bodhisattva is also called Fuxian Rulai. The Vajrasattva of Tantra is the incarnation of Puxian Nyorai, and his image is both single and double.
Sometimes the universal appearance that appears in the Buddhist scriptures is the same image as the universal virtuous, but the embodiment of different meanings.
Fuxian is omnipresent, flaunted by wishes, there is no distinction between monks at home, it is not dirty, it is not impure, it does not increase or decrease, and even you can realize the Tao when you sleep, you can meditate, you can also walk, there is him in the toilet, from the pure land to the defiled land, heaven and hell, everywhere. Therefore, it is said in "Fuxian Xing Wishes": "The void is endless, and my wish is endless." So, what about the universal bodhisattva? We know that the Dharmakaya is just as the void is omnipresent, and there is also a void in this wall. The color body of ordinary people is the body of karmic retribution, and the color body of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas is the body of rainbow. The Bodhisattva is talking about his body, which is the body that has entered the world, not the Dharma body, which is visible to everyone.
The Bodhisattva asked Vimala two questions: first, who are your relatives, dependents (there is a wide range of dependents, everything that is related to you, so everyone has dependents in the world, even the monks, his masters, disciples, and so on), the officials (the officials and residents of the city of Vijali where the Vimal monks lived), and knowledge (including the knowledge of good and evil), who are these people? Second, where are the slaves and maidservants, and the means of transportation that you have?
The first problem is that everyone has so many relationships in the world, there is no way to get rid of it, even if you are single, you can't live without other people, and people can't live without people's environment. The second issue relates to the various types of property and materials that are necessary for life. Vimal replied to him with a long stroke.
So Vimala replied, "The Wisdom of the Bodhisattva Mother, the convenience of being the Father, all the teachers, all of them are born without help."
You ask me who my parents are, and the attainment of Prajna wisdom is the mother of a true student of Buddhism. We have people who practice the Seven Pillars and only allow the Buddha Mother to be mentioned, and the Zunti Buddha Mother is a non-male or female, and the achievement of the Quasi-Ti Dharma is the achievement of attaining the great wisdom of Bodhi. The attainment of Prajna wisdom is the mother of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, giving birth to this Dharmakaya, retribution, and emanation. If you have studied tantra and are interested in cultivating the qi vein, it is useless to be able to see the nature of the mind without the qi vein, and the moment you become enlightened with the clear mind, the qi vein must also be achieved. If you are so focused on cultivating the Qi vein, you don't understand the teachings and don't have enough wisdom, and you have no hope of achieving it. You think it's through, but it's just the feeling of being affected by the yin realm, which is fake. Becoming a Buddha is not superstition, not blind practice, but the achievement of great wisdom. Therefore, Nagarjuna wrote a book "The Treatise on Great Wisdom". With wisdom, we must also have skillful and convenient, including all the cultivation, everything can become a Buddha, so it is said that convenience is the father.
