Chapter 895: There is no trade-off
Next up is the fourth layer.
There is no trade-off in the law, if there is a trade-off, then the trade-off, not the law.
I just said that "there is no place for the Fa", even though I am practicing, I don't think that I am practicing.
Therefore, although the great bodhisattva is doing the six ten thousand actions, he does not have the concept of doing the bodhisattva behavior himself.
If you have this kind of concept, you are in the form of a non-bodhisattva.
However, when we hear this, we will have the idea that there are trade-offs in the Fa.
What are the trade-offs? If you don't grasp the practice of studying the Dharma, if you don't grasp the merits of the practice yourself, and you have to give it up, won't this fall aside again?
Falling into the trade-off is not the end, not the middle Taoist temple.
Therefore, Vimal lay man went further and said, "There is no choice between the Dharma", and he is really bitter to Sariputta! Step by step, layer by layer. If there is a trade-off, it is not a matter of seeking the law.
Beginners often have a choice about the Dharma, but where is the trade-off? Some people cling to the Pure Land and curse Zen Buddhism and Tantra.
People who study Zen Buddhism say that the Pure Land is learned by fools and fools, and I want to learn the highest.
Those who cling to tantra also say that only tantra is supreme.
This concept is all utilitarian, and it is also like going grocery shopping, picking the good and cheap.
As a result, I was often busy rushing to the dojo, learning Tantra and Zen, so busy! I used to be so busy, but then it dawned on me that I wasn't busy.
Of course, I'm not enlightened, but I realized that I was working too hard, so I just let go of Wanyuan, I'm still me, how peaceful I am!
Therefore, "there is no trade-off in the law", you remember this sentence and do not take the wrong road.
The Diamond Sutra also tells you that all Dharma is Dharma, even if you only worship the Buddha, you will be enlightened.
When I was a child, I loved to write poetry, and my father gave me a book and asked me to memorize the poems in it.
I was very happy when I read it, and my father said that it was made by a monk from a nearby temple.
That master was born in fishing and couldn't read a single word.
He didn't know what the cause was, and suddenly he became a monk, and he couldn't read the scriptures, so he worshiped the Buddha all day long.
The floor of the temple was paved with stones, and he worshipped for nine years, and the stones came out of the seal pit.
Later, he suddenly stopped worshipping the Buddha and went to sleep, and slept for three years, sometimes not moving for several months.
His junior brother put a bowl of water on his buttocks, and he didn't turn it over when he looked at it the next day, thinking that he was dead, but fortunately his master knew that he had gone to the Dingding.
Three years later, he wrote articles and poems.
This is what I have seen with myself, which shows that it is good for you to worship the Buddha or use any method, as long as you are sincere, concentrated, and have one heart, and you can do nothing.
If you engage in the Pure Land, go to Zen meditation, study Tantra, and look everywhere for methods that can make you achieve faster, it's like buying stocks, and you won't achieve anything.
If you go deep, you will also be enlightened if you sincerely worship the Buddha.
Buddhism is actually very simple, control the mind in one place, do nothing, single-mindedly succeed, don't recite the "multi-heart sutra"!
I remember that the Diamond Sutra told us: "The Dharma is equal, and there is no superiority." "Now one level higher.
"There is no place for the law, if there is a place, it is everywhere, and it is not to seek the law." There is no fixed place for the true Dharma, and this "place" refers to the physical body, like Taoism or Tantric Dharma, the three chakras and the four chakras, all of which are engaged in the body, and this has become the place where the Dharma exists.
If the feeling of qi and veins is the Dharma, then when you die, the physical body is gone, and the feeling is gone, then isn't the Dharma finished?
You can't do this business! Large places, such as Tantric viewing of the void, the blue sky, and the sun wheel, these are all convenient methods, not the end.
If you think that this is the first noble truth, then you have violated the law and there is a trade-off, and if you have violated the law, there is a place to do it, and there is a place to violate the law.
The Dharma is lively, and when you are engaged, you are dull.
"Place" is twelve, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, color, sound, fragrance, touch.
Reciting the Buddha is mindfulness, and so is visualization. The supreme Dafa is that there is nowhere to seek the Dharma with a mind that has a place, but it has been trapped by the place, and it is not really seeking the Dharma.
