Chapter 971 - Uncertainty
The Bodhisattva said: Movement is the thought of two. If you don't move, you don't have thoughts, and if you don't think, you don't make a difference. Those who have attained this are the only way to enter.
In the past, the astronomy of the Central Plains was divided into 28 nights, that is, the constellations stayed in a certain direction at night, which was called the constellations, which were the directions in which a certain constellation appeared at night. But this direction is not fixed, from the first night to the dawn, its position is constantly changing, and each day of the month is different, so it is also possible to know the day and time by the position of the stargazing nakshatra on the celestial body.
In the countryside of Sichuan, hotels have subcouplets:
Twenty-eight before it's too late
It means twenty-eight nights, but deliberately does not write the word accommodation, this place can go to bed early at night and stay overnight;
The rooster cries early to see thirty-three
Thirty-three is thirty-three days, and you can leave early in the morning. This is written by an insider.
The meaning of good karma is that the bodhisattva has really had a good rest and has been settled. If you want to take a big rest, you have to take a Mahayana decision, and you should pay attention to his report.
The Mahayana is not the Hinayana practice of reciting the Buddha, counting the breaths, and reciting the meditation, but the method of taking no door as the method.
You can take the non-door as the method, okay, that's already decided. Furthermore, if you have the ability, you will not nod your head if you sleep while meditating.
The old monk in the picture is bent on his back, how can he enter the meditation? I call it a bow, and the moon is like a bow, with little rain and much wind. You can really sleep for seven days and seven nights without moving, and that's about the same.
Most people call it sleeping, but if you are asleep, can you stay still for seven days and seven nights?
Movement and thought are two different things, and delusion is called movement. You do breath counting, I tell you you don't need to count, how many times do you breathe in 24 hours a day? Reciting the Buddha can be regarded as reciting tens of thousands of times, so many thousands of times, which bank do you have deposited? It's all moving.
If you can't move, your body won't move, and you have to settle down. The body will definitely be upright, otherwise it will be wrong. Therefore, there is still a way to talk about the qi vein, and the qi vein makes you strong, if the body is not strong, you sit and bend over, and it is in vain to sit for 10,000 years, this is the secret.
If you really don't move, you can't think of delusions, and you don't have any thoughts.
Once, I asked a fellow believer; You meditate well, so why do you want to sit down?
He said that the time was up, did the body feel that the time was up, or did the heart feel that the time was up? You think it's time to come down because your legs are uncomfortable, but it's actually a matter of your heart. As I said before, if someone pointed a gun at you and dared to move and kill you, your legs would be numb and you wouldn't move, so you were heartbeat.
Therefore, "if you don't move, you have no thoughts, and if you don't think about it, you have no difference", and when you reach the realm of not being able to make distinctions, you have to be determined. This is not only true for meditation, but also for daily work, without distinction, and just let it go. So sometimes my fellow Taoist asks me what I just said, and I ask him to tell me about it, because I lose it when I finish speaking, as if I am on stage and singing, and forget it when I finish singing. It is necessary to be uncertain and uncertain, and it is true Mahayana Buddhism.
The Bodhisattva tells us what true peace and rest are. Like this fellow practitioner, sitting here listening, reading, and rocking a chair, his mind can't be single-minded. Everyone has to experience it in this place, but it can be seen that they are all scattered, and they don't know it, but they must be able to experience this pure thought.
Fusha Bodhisattva said: Good and bad are two. If you are not good or good, you will enter the only way to enter without interphase.
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. Pay attention to the literary skills of these sentences in the Buddhist scriptures.
