Chapter 978: Non-Awareness Destroys Emptiness
I am glad to see the Bodhisattva said: Color, color and emptiness are two. Color is emptiness, non-color extinguishes emptiness, color is self-emptiness, such is the knowledge of thought and action; Consciousness and emptiness are two. Consciousness is emptiness, non-cognition extinguishes emptiness, and cognition is self-emptiness. Those who are in it are the only way to enter the world.
The order of this sutra is very strict, and after the bright realm of the Bodhisattva of the Electric Heaven just now, it is happy to see the Bodhisattva, and you will be happy.
In tantric terms, it is the realm of joy vajra, and joy is psychological joy, without sorrow and suffering, and of course without the face of debt collection.
Happiness must be easy and happy.
I am glad to see that this passage of the Bodhisattva's speech is very serious, and at this point, it is already the initial joy of the Bodhisattva's land.
It is very difficult to attain the realm of great joy, and it is very difficult to cultivate the Vajra of Joy. This passage is equivalent to the explanation of the Heart Sutra of the two hundred and six crosses.
Color, including the material world, earth, water, fire, and wind, are all colors, which are tangible. What about the invisible? The colors produced by the eight touches (moving, itchy, light, heavy, cold, warm, astringent, and slippery) on the cognition, and the colors born on the artistic conception (the colors taken by the Dharma) are also included. For example, if men and women are lustful, and they feel beautiful or not, they are the color method, although they are not the Big Four, but they do not leave the Big Four. I like art, and I like landscapes and I am also lustful.
"Color emptiness", it is really difficult to be able to make the color certificate empty, don't brag. But don't you believe that the nature of the color law is empty?
There is a way, you find someone who likes to watch, follow it all day long, and you will get tired of it after you can't see it for half an hour.
Who is the most beautiful in the world?
You're the prettiest, aren't you?
The more you look at yourself in the mirror, the more beautiful you look, doesn't you? Then you are a bodhisattva. You try, just look at yourself in the mirror for three minutes, and that's not you.
Don't be afraid, sometimes it seems like the body is gone, it's scary. But some people will use this method to enter the realm of emptiness, but you have to close your eyes quickly, don't look in the mirror anymore, you will go crazy if you look at it any longer.
Not crazy, at least out of body, very serious.
Actually, by concentrating a little bit will make you empty, you have to look at yourself, don't move, don't analyze your eyes, nose and mouth, stare at it, and then you won't have it. Not only is the image in the mirror gone, but also gone.
Once you have done this, you will be able to understand that color is void and selfless, and you will know that color is emptiness. The nature of color is naturally empty, and you don't need to find a way to make it empty, so color is empty.
The Heart Sutra adds another sentence "emptiness is color", which is also the extinction of emptiness by non-color. It is not that matter is destroyed and emptiness, but that hue itself is emptiness.
There is a popular old saying, "If you don't get drunk with wine, you get drunk, and if you don't get charming, you get self-obsessed."
There's nothing wrong with that at all. You say that flowers are beautiful, but what does the flush itself have to do with it? It's yourself who fascinate you.
Therefore, the bodhisattvas in the temple are very solemn, why aren't you fascinated? Because you have a sense of respect. It was a young lady, and the boy was fascinated when he saw it.
Cognition (consciousness) of being (feeling), thinking (thinking), acting (life instinctual activity), and consciousness (consciousness) are also the same color, and together they are called the five yin.
The five yin are all conjured by one thought, and they are conjured by consciousness. So let's talk about the idea that there is emptiness and that consciousness is there and emptiness is not, which seems to be opposites, but in fact consciousness is emptiness.
Why do you ask you to cultivate the White Bone View?
To achieve liberation and enlightenment, it is necessary to cultivate, and it is a very fast method to achieve the realm of color and yin. Once the color yin realm is over, the four yin below will soon follow.
"Non-consciousness destroys emptiness" is not to create an emptiness with the realm of consciousness, but if the realm of consciousness is used to destroy all delusions and achieve emptiness, it is not the realm of inquiry. Because consciousness itself is naturally empty. If the cultivation of the Dharma is concentrated and proficient, you will naturally reach the achievement of Hi Vajra, and you will be extremely happy in your heart, and you will be happier than you are the champion in high school. So, you have to be able to attain emptiness in order to be truly happy.
