According to this sutra, true Dharma is self-extinguished.

Nirvana is sometimes translated into silence, and there is also a translation method called Yuanhuan, which is a last resort, and the meaning of the entire Nirvana is only expressed in one-tenth of it.

When it comes to nirvana or extinction, ordinary people think of death, and there is nothing left.

In fact, the true meaning of nirvana includes the four main points of permanence, happiness, self, and purity.

Nirvana is not only used in Buddhism, Brahmins and other religions in India, but also refers to the mysterious, supreme bliss, and the meaning of life, and it does not refer to death.

Chinese translates Nirvana into Circle Death, and now it seems that there is really no way to do it, "Yuan" has the meaning of perfection and all-encompassing, both full and ethereal, not necessarily empty, not necessarily existent.

"Silence" does not necessarily mean nothing, it represents cleanness, tranquility and serenity.

Nirvana is sometimes translated into inaction, which is borrowed from the name of "Lao Tzu".

"Lao Tzu" talks about inaction, which is not nothing, nor is it immovable, the so-called "inaction is nothing".

You don't want to add an extra word, it will be bad if you become a person who does nothing and does nothing.

It is inaction to use it without using it, and to move without moving.

However, Wuwei is still not enough to completely translate the meaning of Nirvana, and when Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty arrived, it was divided into "Yu Yi Nirvana" and "Wu Yu Nirvana" (some people also translated it as "Yu Nirvana" and "Wu Yu Nirvana").

Adding existence and non-existence to the concept of non-action makes the truth clearer.

The highest goal of Buddhism is to attain nirvana, not to learn death.

The path attained by Hinayana is biased towards emptiness, believing that when you attain emptiness, you will let go of everything and remain in the state of emptiness, which in Buddhism belongs to the surplus of nirvana.

For example, when a person falls asleep, he doesn't care about anything, but sleep is not death, it is a state of life, and when he sleeps, everything inside and outside the body and mind still exists, so although he says that he has let go of everything during sleep, it is not a complete rest.

There is a surplus of Nirvana, which is used to describe the Hinayana realm of attainment, there is still a surplus, and there are also associated ones.

The Mahayana Buddha fruit is unattainable, after all, empty.

Vimala said to Sariputta, "The name of the Dharma is extinguished", and what the true Dharma seeks is extinction, and extinction is complete, pure, peaceful, and happy, and sometimes this state is used in the Buddha's land, which is called the Pure Land.

However, ordinary people who study Buddhism do not have a clear understanding of this first truth, and they all work hard in the Dharma of birth and death.

Strictly speaking, no matter which sect it is, the Dharma that is cultivated will always turn on the Dharma of birth and destruction.

For example, reciting the Buddha is to start the mind and recite it with the mind.

Thoughts and thoughts are born and destroyed, and when the first thought is extinguished, the second thought is picked up.

For example, when we are talking and listening, it is also the Dharma of birth and death, and when you hear this voice, this concept passes.

All mental actions (mental actions) and perceptual states are completely the law of birth and death.

Reciting the Buddha, reciting mantras, and contemplating the Dharma are all convenient ways to get started with the Dharma, and if you grasp this convenience, it will be bad if you regard it as the end of the Dharma, and you will not be able to attain the fruits of nirvana after cultivating for a lifetime.

Tiantai sect has a method of counting breaths, and in the Tang Dynasty, Taoists absorbed this method and summarized it into four words: "receiving, seeing, returning, and listening".

Turn your eyes back, look inward, look inward, and listen to your breath.

Later, when I came to Tibetan Tantra, it evolved into the cultivation of qi veins, and there were many methods.

That's why Vimala tells us, "If we do birth and death, we seek to live and perish," which is contrary to seeking the Dharma.

The famous saying of the Buddha on the "Lengyan Sutra": "Because the place is not true, the fruit will be distorted", if your motives and concepts are incorrect, you use various methods to cultivate, you are taking the wrong road.

The Lotus Sutra also says, "All dharmas are always extinguished from their original origins."

In today's terms, this "law" includes all principles, all things, and all things.

This sentence in the Lotus Sutra says that all phenomena in the universe are destroyed in this life, and that their original nature is pure (so it is "self"), and you don't need to seek purity.

It is clear to compare the Lotus Sutra with the Vimala Sutra.

I'm going to get into a Zen story, and you're going to see it.

A Zen master came to his senses when he read the Lotus Sutra, and he told his fellow Zen friends that the Buddha had only spoken half of what he said.
