Chapter 967: The Only Way

The scattering of flowers by the Celestial Maiden provoked a conversation between the Buddha's great monk Sariputta (who is the protagonist of the Heart Sutra) and the Celestial Maiden, who asked how long the Celestial Maiden had been in the home of Vimala. The Celestial Maiden told him that there is no beginning and no end, and that he should not ask this question of how long. Then Sariputta asked the Celestial Maiden, since she had such great supernatural powers, why didn't she become a man? The Celestial Maiden seized the opportunity, and because Sariputta was a Hinayana Arhat, she still had a discriminating mind, and there was also a difference between men and women. Therefore, the Celestial Maiden turned Sariputta into a woman and herself into Sariputta on the spot. This is another big question in Buddhism, is there a male or female appearance in nature? After getting rid of the problem of illness, life and death, and now there is still the appearance of a man and a woman of both sexes, old and young, how to get rid of it, can it be said that he has attained the Tao.

This is not over, the story has developed here, everyone has not eaten, and may not even have a cup of tea. Are you all hungry?

We've been talking about the Vimala Sutra for a long time, and everyone in the Sutra is still hungry and listening. Among them, the climax is repeated, Vimo and the Heavenly Maiden have appeared one after another, and then Vimo said a long line, and the following is another key point, but it is not the climax, and the climax will come again when eating.

The next thing to focus on is the way to go. Whether it is the Dharma or the worldly Dharma, there is only one Tao, and there are no two. Only the way of expression is different, and everyone understands it differently. Don't despise or exclude others from heretics or other religions. As long as it teaches people to do good, there is merit. It can only be said that everyone's opportunities, understandings, and needs are different, and maybe other people's future achievements will surpass you, who claim to be a Buddhist student. So, don't despise any sentient being, there is only one truth, and now we will start talking about the only way to go.

Bodhisattvas walk in the non-path in order to attain the Buddha's path

Manjushri asked Vimalaya, "How can a bodhisattva attain the Buddha's path?" ”

Vimala said, "If a bodhisattva walks in the non-path, does not regard the path as the path, and does not regard the non-path as the non-path, then he is said to have attained the path of the Buddha." ”

Sariputta asked, "How does a bodhisattva behave in the wrong way?" ”

Answer: "If a bodhisattva practices the five infertile karmas, he will not commit the five rebellious sins because of resentment and anger.

Do not fall into hell because of the dirt of sin. ”

There is no ignorance, slowness, and so on, and there is no wandering into the path of animal life.

Originally, he had enough merit to walk in the path of hungry ghosts.

It seems that he is greedy and can give up everything inside and outside, even at the cost of his life to help sentient beings.

It seems to be a forbidden act, but the heart is actually in the pure precepts, and it is always vigilant and does not even do small crimes.

He is always compassionate and endures all things that are unbearable.

It looks like slackness and diligent practice of Bodhi merits.

Words and deeds seem to be chaotic and their hearts are always fixed,

behave almost foolishly, but reach the wisdom of the world.

Manifest the sound and hear the body and speak the unheard of Dharma for all sentient beings.

Manifest the body of the Buddha and educate sentient beings with the method of great compassion and Mahayana.

Showing the treasure hand of the poor body and having the treasure of nature, the week is endless, and the merit is immeasurable.

It shows that the body is incomplete and has all kinds of good looks and solemnity.

Showing the humble body and the heart of the Buddha, there is no life and patience, for the Buddha's dependents, with all kinds of merits.

The body of Naroyan Hercules, who manifested the ugly image of Nalayan and attained strong and victorious power, all sentient beings rejoiced when they saw it.

Therefore, if no one speaks of the Dharma, even if wisdom cannot understand it, if no one talks about the Dharma, no matter how wise people are, they will not be able to understand it.

Bodhisattva no matter whether he is practicing in the right path, he does not think that he is on the right path, not attached to the right path, but the evil and the right are very clear, the Bodhisattva is in the wrong way, that is, his mind is not pure in everything, greed, ignorance, transgression, sixty-two views, and foreign paths, he can use it freely, so that the mind is liberated, which means that the Bodhisattva achieves equality without hindrance, that is to say, all sentient beings are clearly separated from the evil and the right, the Bodhisattva is not like this, the Bodhisattva is evil and the right is clearly divided, but he can tolerate and forgive these bad people, and slowly guide the people into the Buddha's pathThat's what great people are.

Therefore, if a bodhisattva walks in the non-path, he is not doing evil or doing evil things, but he can enter into the equality of emptiness in the non-path and not in the Dharma, so if the bodhisattva is walking in the non-path, it is for the sake of attaining the Buddha's path, and those who can understand it when they hear this sentence will know how much cultivation the bodhisattva has. Sentient beings are like this, the righteous path and the evil way are attached, I am studying Buddhism, you are the outer way of heaven and demons, hurting you, this is the same view as the outer way, God loves the world, he is the heavenly father, the rest are called demons, the Buddha is the Buddha, the devil is unattainable, equal, pure, do not love to see the difference.
