Li Shi looked at Liang Yulian embarrassedly, and said apologetically: "Ah Lian, I don't understand it very well, I only know that it is from the scriptures in the Diamond Sutra. ”

"Diamond Sutra?" This was the first time Liang Yulian heard the book "Diamond Sutra", and she looked at Li with curiosity.

Seeing that Liang Yulian couldn't stop, Li looked at her with a diligent look, so he had to tell Liang Yulian as much as she knew and understood:

"You should have no place to live, but give birth to your heart", these two sutras are one of the most important verses in the "Diamond Sutra". The Diamond Sutra is the reality of Prajna, the great wisdom that can open up people. All the Diamond Sutras are broken phases.

The two sentences "should have no place to live, but give birth to their hearts" are both body and use. That is: use without leaving the body, the body without separation.

"There should be no place to live", and "the heart is born" is not nothing, which is the original purpose of Vajra. Therefore, when I can hear these two sentences, I will immediately realize the Tao.

To have no dwelling means to dwell in nothing. If you can stop everything, then you are in the realm of reality. Now that we have realized that there is no reality and nothing to gain, what ego, troubles, birth and death, and ignorance can we live in?

Giving birth to one's mind according to the wisdom of Prajna is the usefulness. It is the bodhisattva mind, bodhichitta, compassion, equanimity, altruism and selflessness that give birth to endless sorrows. If it is a mind, and so on, it is a mind that is born without dwelling. It is the true heart, the pure mind, that is, the Buddha's mind.

"Auntie, I seem to understand what you say. Brother Aneng saw the moon cakes given to the old beggar, and when he saw the old beggar being beaten and tried his best to protect him, this is 'the true heart, the pure heart, that is, the Buddha's heart', I understand it this way, right? Liang Yulian couldn't help but interject again.

"That's probably what it means." After Li Shi finished answering, he stretched out his thumb and praised: "Ah Lian, you are very wise and understanding!" ”

Liang Yulian was praised by the Li family, her face turned red, she lowered her head shyly, and said modestly: "That's right, my aunt has won the award." ”

"Ah Lian, don't be embarrassed, my aunt is telling the truth." After Li praised Liang Yulian, he turned to the topic of the "Diamond Sutra": And the hearts born of sentient beings are greed, attachment, tribute, discrimination, and even 84,000 troubles. If it is a mind, it is the mind that is born by dwelling, which is the delusional mind, the karmic mind, that is, the mind of sentient beings.

Because sentient beings are everywhere with appearances, there are many minds, and if there are many minds, they cannot be pure, and if their minds are not pure, they cannot realize the true truth. Therefore, if you want to realize the true truth, that is, you have to let go of everything, then you can't stop everything, and you can see yourself with your true heart, which is the Tao mind.

The Tao is born from the heart, and the heart is seen by the Tao. When it comes to the end, this one word cannot be said. The so-called words are broken, and the heart is never done. This principle is subtle and difficult for beginners to understand. The Buddha wants people to realize that reality has no appearance, and that detachment is true heart, so he said, "There should be no place to live." The Buddha also wants people to understand the wonder of use, so it is convenient to say "and give birth to its mind" and "should have no place to live, but give birth to its heart", which seems to be contradictory, but in fact it is like this.

When Li said this, he looked at Liang Yulian, who was listening attentively and really tasteful, "Aunt said this, do you understand?" ”

"Well, I understand a lot." Liang Yulian nodded.

Li Shi saw that Liang Yulian had heard it clearly, and then went further: "Ah Lian, since you know that you should have no place to live, that is, the reality of Bodhi, that is, the realm of the Dharmakaya Buddha, but don't look for this reality, look for this Dharmakaya Buddha, and look for it, but it is not. Why?

Reality has no appearance, and there is no reason to find it. Let go, and it's not a thought. Seeking the heart together becomes delusional. We should know that this realm of reality is not unique to the Buddhas, and we are also self-sufficient. So what? Buddhas and sentient beings are inherently the same. As long as everyone is silent at the moment and does not have a single thought, then if they do not move, all things are the same, that is, the reality has no abiding sincerity. If a thought moves slightly, it is dwelling. To dwell is not reality. Therefore, "one thought is not born and is fully embodied, and the six roots are covered by clouds." "Those who are unable to practice correspondingly, because they have a dwelling, they have something to seek; If you have a place to live and a demand, you are bound to yourself, how can you see your own nature?

To understand the truth that there should be no place to live and give birth to the mind, and to understand the practical use of these two sutras, we must first establish their bodies, and then they can be used. Let go of all the desires and stays. Because everything is put down, the delusion rests on its own. If you are delusional, you will not have the sincerity to live, and you will naturally appear. But everyone knows that it is good to let go, but they can't let go, why? Gaiwu people have too deep karmic knowledge, and it is not easy to let go. Because it is not easy to let go, it is necessary to start from the heart of subduing it. As everyone knows, if there is no dwelling, it is subdued. If you seek to surrender again, you will have a head on your head. If you can dwell without dwelling, you will attain the essence of reality. According to the ontology of reality, to live without dwelling, and to be born without birth, that is, to use according to the body.

The difference between a Buddha and sentient beings is only between consciousness and non-awareness, compassion and non-compassion. Jue is separated from each other, everything does not live, so the name is called Buddha; If you don't feel it, you will see the environment and give birth to the heart, and everything will live, hence the name of sentient beings. Compassion is equal and all things are one, that is, the name is Buddha; If you are not compassionate, you will be greedy, hateful, ignorant, and slow, and you will be full of troubles, and you will be called sentient beings. Consciousness and non-awareness are the difference between the body; Mercy and non-compassion are the difference between use. The body is the same, all are one heart. If you can turn disgust into kindness, you are a Buddha's mind. Therefore, the six ancestors said: "One thought is straight, and all beings are Buddhas."

In the end, Li summed up that the Buddha has three bodies, and we should know that we also have three bodies, the so-called Dharma body, retribution body, and incarnation. When it does not dwell, the true heart of emptiness and gnosis fills the void, that is, the Dharmakaya. When the heart is born, the good heart is repaid for good, and the disgusting heart is repaid for evil, and the heart at this time is the retribution. One thought of thinking, all kinds of changes, thinking about evil and turning hell, thinking of goodness into heaven, the heart at this time is the incarnation. When sentient beings understand this, they must always work the mindfulness of non-dwelling beings. The mind is like vanity, and there is no measure of emptiness; Do everything without seeing what is in it. The so-called fate does not change, does not change with fate, does not change is not where to live, and with fate is to give birth to its heart.

"Can you tell us about your understanding?" After Li finished speaking, he asked Liang Yulian questions like a teacher.

"Okay. If something is wrong, I hope to ask my aunt to correct it. After clearing her throat, Liang Yulian explained her understanding of "mind" and "non-appearance", and then creatively made an appropriate metaphor for the argument of "mind" and "non-appearance" in the "Diamond Sutra":

Man's own mind is inherently the "unformed" wisdom of Prajna, which is like the sun and the moon, always quiet and bright, and ignorance and evil are like clouds covering the sun and the moon. When the clouds dissipate, i.e., the ignorance and wrong views in oneself are eliminated, the wisdom of Prajna is revealed. And the aunt just mentioned that the fat man Cui Zhengkui and Mazi Huo Tianqiang, who beat Brother Aneng and the old beggar, those two people are so hateful and ugly, their hateful ugliness is that they are covered by floating clouds "Xin", that is: floating clouds cover the sun and the moon. When they feel that their behavior is shameful, they abandon their shame and promote goodness, that is, they get rid of their ignorance and wrong views, and the wisdom of Prajna is revealed. After Liang Yulian gave her views on "Xin" and "Phaselessness", she blinked, looked at Li, and waited for her correction.

This time, it was Li's turn to look at Liang Yulian apologetically, and said embarrassedly: "Ah Lian, I'm sorry, I don't understand it very well, I only know that it is from the scriptures in the "Diamond Sutra". Even though I used so many nouns, I couldn't explain this intuitive nature, because it's very difficult to explain it through nouns. Not to mention that I am not enlightened, even those who have attained this state of enlightenment are difficult to explain in terms of name. Because through the name, we can only realize similar concepts, and it is by no means the true and ultimate righteousness. Therefore, this kind of realm can only be understood, not spoken. But when it comes to this plot in the book, I don't say a few words, I feel uncomfortable, and I always feel that I can't continue with the following. I had to say so many nouns, as if a blind man was describing to the world how peachy and willow-green the world was, and it made people laugh......"

Liang Yulian didn't wait for Li to finish speaking, and changed the topic very conspicuously, "Auntie, please continue to talk about Ah Neng standing in front of the window and listening to the Diamond Sutra." ”

"Okay, then I'll talk about it again." Li Shi looked at Liang Yulian with a rare smile on his face.

Besides, he stood in front of the window and listened to the scriptures and realized the Tao, and entered the wonderful realm of no dwelling. Suddenly, the sound of chanting in the room stopped abruptly, and then an old question came out: "Who is outside the window?" Are you listening to the old man chanting? ”

Neng'er was taken aback, and then he returned to reality from the Zen realm, and when he looked at it, he was surprised in his heart......
