Chapter 994 Gains and Ming Ping

Dezang Bodhisattva said: There are two gains. If there is no gain, there is no trade-off. Those who have no choice are the only way to enter.

Ordinary students of Buddhism make the mistake of seeking the Dharma of non-attainment with the intention of attaining something.

The Dharma is ungained, and if you use the concept of doing business and the concept of seeking profit to seek the Dharma, you will be wrong because of the place.

Because you're wrong, you can't fix it even if you die. So I repeatedly quoted Bai Juyi's poem, "How can empty flowers have to seek fruit at the same time, how can Yang Yan look for fish more", you have taken the wrong route at all, and you have taken the wrong road.

This is especially true when young people study Buddhism, and even if they have a dream, they will come to me as a big thing, and my head will be big when I hear it, but I have to listen to it.

There are also people who chant mantras or worship the Buddha, alas, yesterday I got a realm, hurry up and tell me. When you talk about the realm, that realm doesn't know where it has gone, and you have to talk about the realm.

That stupidity, I want to kill him with a knife and help him change his head. This kind of psychology is all about seeking the Dharma with the heart of having something and having something to gain. I didn't ask for Bodhi and Kongjian.

The Heart Sutra says that "all dharmas are empty", all the way to the end, and finally, "there is no wisdom and no gain, so there is no gain, Bodhisattva", and nothing is the bodhisattva realm. If you don't get anything, you have nothing to take or give up, you don't need to mention anything, and you don't need to let go of anything. Many people say that they can't let it go, and if they can't let it go, you can bring it up!

But if you have to ask how to bring it up, you can put it down if you don't know! If you ask why you don't put it down, then you have to say, you!

This is the third method, the first is to let go, the second is to mention, you can't do the first two, only the third.

You can really go to yours, that's it. Sitting there and thinking can't let go, you! A colleague was scolded by me for going to you, so he used this sentence as a mantra and recited it when he couldn't get it, and it turned out to be very effective!

I told him not to spread this mantra indiscriminately, and that if he wanted to pass it on, he had to make the students kowtow 300 times first, and then take them in.

If there is no take-off and no give-up, then the present is the way.

The Tao is here, neither lifted nor put down, neither emptiness nor existence. Why does it have to be empty?

So what about it? Yes and no! So what is it? Whatever it is, now is now, that's right, that's it, that's it (Shi knocks on the table several times)! But you have to understand this, and you have to have merit and merit to understand it, and this is the only way.

Now, let's talk about what it means to be "equal between darkness and light".

The Bodhisattva on the moon said: There are two and no Ming, and there are no two without Ming. So what? If you enter and perish, you will be determined by thought, and there will be no ignorance. The same is true of all the Dharma. Those who enter on an equal footing are the only way to enter.

Have you seen the Bodhisattva on the Moon in any other scriptures? There is a medicine bodhisattva in the Medicine Master Sutra, which is related to this moon bodhisattva. The moon does not come up from the moon, but it is described by the moon, which is more special than the special realm of purity and light.

This passage that the Bodhisattva on the Moon said is very important for your practice, because darkness and light are two opposite phenomena, aren't they?

If a beginner student of Buddhism sits up and sees a black hole in front of him, this is ignorance. Sometimes I sit up and die of joy when I have a little light, thinking that I have seen the Tao, and you are alive and dead. The static pole is bright, what is so strange about that bright light! Even though you don't move, your body is not completely still, your breathing, blood circulation, heartbeat, and brain waves are all moving, and you feel that being quiet is just the tranquility of the sixth consciousness.

Although the mind is calm, the physiology is still moving, and even more enjoyable, because there is no psychological interference with the physiological instinctive activities.

This is also the reason why meditation makes people healthy, because when the mind is calm, breathing, blood circulation, heartbeat, and brain waves are all active normally.

This is not the Tao, what "rice", I think you are wheat or not! But you young people who grew up in the city, there is no distinction between rice and wheat.

Those who have attained the Tao are neither darkness nor light. Note here that light is not bad, but don't think that the realm of light is the Tao. Taoism and Tantra are popular outside, what do you say about the light, and what if you let it go? That's not the way either!

The great arhat has really been determined, and he has entered the highest determination of extinction, and he is neither enlightened nor enlightened, not enlightened!

This is what the scriptures tell you, don't forget! That's why some people say that he has the light, and you just have to laugh. "All dharmas are the same", in the final analysis, all dharmas are ontologically speaking, there is nothing called bright, and those who have light are monsters.

When I was studying Buddhism, there was an old monk who studied Zen Buddhism and could speak the Diamond Sutra, and I admired him very much, and he also wanted me to call him a teacher.

Before he spoke about the "Diamond Sutra", he waved his hand like this, pretending to be, and many people saw his thumb shining, and there was a Wei Tuo Bodhisattva in it. I was supposed to apprentice because he came to this hand, but I didn't worship him, and I felt sorry for him.

The Diamond Sutra says, "All appearances are false." He studied Zen Buddhism again, why did he still come to this set? I took my leave. The real Dharma must be very ordinary, that is, ordinary and ordinary people.

Therefore, it is said at the end of this book, "Those who enter equally among them are the only way to enter." True equality is not two-sided, not relative.

If we want to say that there is light and there is darkness, and there is good and evil, they are all relative, right and wrong, and relative methods are not equal. Equality is Madhyamaka, and Madhyamaka is the method of equality. To be able to enter the law of equality is to enter the only way.
