Have you ever read all the Zen quotations? Not to mention that after reading thousands of quotations, there is no one who can study "Zhiyue Lu", "Five Lantern Huiyuan" and "Chuanlan Lu" well.

The techniques of these great Zen masters are all different, there are too many to scold, to beat, to be lenient, to meditate, and even to sleep and stingy.

They are made with all sorts of skillful convenience

"It is like a bridge to all beings". To learn Buddhism, we want to save people, what is to save people? Your bridge to others is to save people.

There are too many ways to save people, not only to persuade people to become monks, but also to save people as a barber. To save a person is to be a bridge for sentient beings, to help them overcome the sea of suffering, to relieve their troubles and sufferings, and even to enable them to attain Bodhi.

"Show all afflictions, and keep your heart pure." On the outside, he looks more troubled and painful than ordinary people, but on the inside, he is always pure.

I remember that when I accompanied my teacher to Suining, Sichuan, there was a big temple called Dongshan Temple.

The incense is so prosperous, every year during the incense festival, there are more than 100 counties in Sichuan Province, and I am afraid that half of the counties have people to make a pilgrimage.

There was a monk there who was called the Crazy Master, who was very famous and was not easy to see. He lives in the toilet all year round, and the toilet has two boards, and it stinks so badly that there are a lot of flies.

He was meditating there, and we were going to climb to the toilet and kowtow to him. I followed my teacher to see the crazy master, wanting to see how he had the Dao.

The temple was on the mountain, and it took an hour to go up in a sedan chair, and both sides of the road were kneeling and asking Hanako for money.

My teacher first told me to bring more money and divide it all the way up the mountain. The teacher told me, "Look at how many great bodhisattvas are in there along the way."

I asked him, "Which one is it?" He just scolded me, stupid thing, and this still asks me? All of them! I thought that the Bodhisattva would probably shine and have a treasure ornament on his body, but now he was scolded.

According to my teacher, these bodhisattvas are in trouble and suffering, and he is just a vigilant example for you to show you the bad ends.

My teacher also told me that I should not throw money away from others, but should put it away one by one. I had to ask the sedan driver to lower it so that I could get the money.

The teacher asked me not to sit in the sedan chair at all, but I pretended to be confused and was too lazy to get out of the sedan chair, which was sluggishness. I'm afraid that I won't be able to go up, and I won't see the crazy master!

However, just such an action, you have to reflect on yourself, and it is only practice. The great bodhisattva's mind is pure, and there are no troubles, but it is deliberately done to show that he is the same as all beings in the world, and this is it

"Showing the Dharma" means the Buddha's Dharma and Dharma. This practice is the same as that of sentient beings, which is also the bodhisattva path

Colleagues in the "Four Photography Methods" (generosity, love language, benefit, and colleagues). However, although the great bodhisattva shows all the afflictions outwardly, he has no afflictions in the depths of his heart and is always pure.

As the old Chinese saying goes, literati are inferior to each other through the ages, and I have changed a few words to describe the religious circles, that is, the religious circles have enmity with each other through the ages, and they have been attacking each other endlessly.

Those who run the rivers and lakes to perform and sell plasters are hated through the ages, which is equivalent to doing business and saying that their peers are enemies. The first thing to learn Buddhism is to learn modesty, such as the monk Jidian, who has already achieved it, but still pretends to be crazy and stupid, so that people look down on him.

I am speaking this because many of my friends have asked me to come out and disclose the tantric teachings, and I have said that I don't have time.

However, my wish has always been to make known Tantra known to the world, and the Buddha has no Tantra, but if it is made public, it is even more secret, and you can't understand it.

The Sixth Patriarch said it well,

"Secret is on your side", the secret is with you, not with me. The Buddha said that all sentient beings are Buddhas by themselves, and everyone is a Buddha, but why can't you become a Buddha?

This is the big secret, it is not something that the teacher can pass on to you, you have to find out for yourself.
