The Bodhisattva of Endless Intention said: Giving back to all wisdom is two. To give is to dedicate oneself to all intellect. If it is to keep the precepts, endure humiliation, diligence, meditation, and wisdom, and dedicate oneself to all wisdom.

Wisdom is the dedication to all wisdom, and the one who enters into one aspect in it is the only way to enter the world.

Endless is immeasurable, in ordinary people, meaning is the sixth consciousness, and when you become a Buddha, you also have the intention, but when the consciousness turns like this, you turn the delusion of ordinary people into Bodhi.

According to consciousness-only, it means that ordinary people are discriminating minds, and after the consciousness is transformed into wisdom, the sixth consciousness is transformed into the wisdom of wonderful observation.

The content of the Bodhisattva of Infinite Mind report is the six perfections, which are the six sequences of Mahayana practice: generosity, vows, patience, diligence, meditation, and prajna. In Sanskrit, it is called the six paramitas.

The original meaning of paramita is how to go from here to there, how to transcend the sea of suffering in the world, and reach the cool and comfortable side.

The Chinese translation is translation, so one word is used: degree. Buddhism often says that it is necessary to save people, how to call it degree? It is to enable people to be liberated and to be able to achieve enlightenment, not to say that people believe in Buddhism is considered degree.

According to the teachings, the first five of the six realms, generosity, vows, patience, diligence, and meditation, are the resources for cultivating merit. Prajna is the food of wisdom. When merit and wisdom are perfected, one can become a Buddha. This is said from the stage of practice, which is gradual.

The six perfections mentioned in the Vimala Sutra are not about the order of gradual cultivation, but about enlightenment.

Epiphany what? One ride. There is no difference. In other words, all the practices of the six perfections, and even all the practices of Hinayana and Mahayana, are for one thing, for all wisdom to become a Buddha.

However, it should be noted that all wisdom is the name of the teachings, or root wisdom, which is the seeing of nature, which is also what Zen Buddhism calls enlightenment, clear mind, and clear mind.

How does the Bodhisattva of Endless Mind talk about the six perfections? He started with the first example, which is to give alms in order to dedicate to all wisdom. Ordinary people divide giving and dedicating to all wisdom, but in fact, the nature of the act of giving is to dedicate to all wisdom. What the Vimala Sutra is talking about here is the first meaning of the metaphysical path, not the realm of the second meaning.

Theoretically, there are three types of giving: external giving, internal giving, and fearless giving, which I have introduced before. When giving alms, the "three wheels of body empty", the giver, the recipient, and the minister are empty, and they are put down when they are done. This is the practice of the Buddhist, not only meditation is practice, when you sit down and put on your shoes, let others go first is generosity.

The Central Plains culture also says that "giving kindness does not expect reciprocation", giving benefits to others and not hoping that others will reciprocate. But on the contrary, it is necessary to "benefit without forgetting virtue", even if you receive a little help from others, never forget.

So Buddhism came to China and was quickly accepted because it was exactly the same as our culture.

There is a scholar, in a test, the examiner came up with a question: "One person has two hearts, there is no heart". This candidate's answer can represent the spirit of the Central Plains culture.

The candidate's answer was: "If you have a heart, you will not be rewarded." Evil is not intentional, although evil is not punished".

Therefore, the people of the Central Plains do good deeds called accumulating yin virtue, and what they do not say is called yin virtue. If you do something wrong without intent, you may not be able to get over it in your conscience, but you don't need to be punished.

The principle of generosity is to do good without seeking knowledge, which is the psychology that a person who studies Buddhism should have.

Charity is giving, which is the first step in learning Buddhism, so those who study Buddhism should let go of all fate, fame and fortune.
