Chapter 850: Fifty-Eight Grades
In the novel "The Biography of Jigong", it is written that the monk Jidian was drunk one day, and when he got up in the middle of the night, he shouted, "Alas! Disastrous! Nothing is clear! ”
When everyone was woken up, the monks wanted to chase him, so he ran, but when he looked back, the temple was on fire and burned out.
It turned out that he was going to tell everyone that the fire was coming, and it was difficult to explain it clearly.
Fire is ignorance, and ignorance is ignorance.
Without ignorance, the driving force for our reincarnation is to act in yin. Why can't you get rid of your distracting thoughts and delusions when you meditate and chant Buddha? You should know by now! I've made it clear!
Because the yin has not stopped! It is always moving, there is no way, it means that the blood circulation does not stop when we sleep.
We can't be determined, we can't be single-minded, just because the power of yin is very great.
Ignorance causes this mental power, and it is constantly moving.
As soon as there is an action, it causes the consciousness of the bardo, and our ideology cannot be stopped, because the yin is moving, and the relationship is a chain of relationships, one grabs one, and one grabs one.
The bardo consciousness sees that the two men and women are destined, and the three fates are combined into the womb.
Knowing the fate of the name, the general person calls the name and the appearance is the fetus, because the four are the phase, and it has become a tangible body. The name is six in, the fetus changes in the mother's body, has eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, that is, six in, and has life.
Sixth, the touch is the contact between the inside and outside, which plays the role of perception and feeling.
Touch comes from the root of the body, and with the body there is a feeling, such as feeling cold or hot when wearing clothes, it is touch.
What is the difference between these two? Touch is to talk about the effect, you put your hands together to feel whether it is touch, you close your hands and feel warm or cold, to the heart, the body and mind have a relationship, that is to receive.
Feeling is different from receiving, what can be felt is touch, and receiving is connected to the psyche.
Sometimes the method of touch is not necessarily connected to the psyche, that is, it is called touch physiologically, which can be said to be a nervous response in medicine.
If we have a part of the nerve paralyzed, we can't feel the nerve response, but the nerve that is not paralyzed is still alive, and the touch method is still there, but you don't feel it in your heart, so the touch is different from the feeling, otherwise it will feel the same.
Because if you accept it, you will love it, and if you love it, you will catch it if you love it to death.
Love fate to take, I want this teacup, this watch, to catch.
The more you grasp it in this world, the more it will fly away, and you can't ask for hardship! There are eight sufferings in life.
The more you want to ask for it, the more powerful it becomes, and as in physics, the centrifugal force is as strong as the centripetal force.
Sometimes you don't want to catch it, it comes away.
The back of love and parting from bitterness is resentment and bitterness, you don't want it to be biased, the person you don't want to meet, you will meet as soon as you turn a corner, and you will meet you in the toilet! People who like to see it just don't write back, don't they? That's what life is.
Taking the fate of being, because of grasping there, it constitutes an accident that temporarily belongs to you, and this is existence.
Actually, there is no real one, and it will definitely disperse.
The so-called "accumulation is dissolved, the sublime will fall, the union will eventually part, and the fate will return to death". If you climb high, you must come down. Something! Money! If you accumulate more, you must scatter and use it, and a lot of money is also accumulated for others, and your children are also others! There is no feast in the world.
As long as there is life, it will die one day, so there is something that cannot be caught.
There is a fate to be born, and life is destined to die of old age.
Dead? One thought of ignorance, ignorance of karma, and reincarnation again, this is called the twelve karmas, which are circles.
Therefore, if you want to practice and attain the Tao, you must break ignorance, that is, you must break off the confusion of seeing and thinking, and if you break the confusion, you will prove the truth, and when you reach the truth, you will attain the Tao.
So basically, when ignorance is emptied, one attains enlightenment, and in Hinayana terms, one becomes an arhat.
Mahayana bodhisattvas have to go further and do what the Heart Sutra says: "There is no ignorance, and there is no end to ignorance".
Wrong, that's a Hinayana accident, which is equivalent to "drawing the knife to cut off the water and the water is more flowing", which is false emptiness. Mahayana bodhisattvas are empty after all, and they don't need to cut off ignorance. Therefore, the Judgment of Confusion is really the Hinayana method, and the Mahayana Bodhisattva did not break it, and it was not very broken. Ignorance is not broken, but ignorance becomes truthfulness, and knowledge becomes wisdom. Because ignorance itself is empty, it doesn't stay, it doesn't need to be broken.
Therefore, it is said, "There is no ignorance, and there is no end to ignorance", the so-called end is to break, and there is no need to break it to be empty.
