Chapter 187 Jizo King Bodhisattva Heart Sutra
Xiao Lingjue's quiet master's explanation, did not interrupt the master's explanation, and secretly thought in his heart, the original Buddhism is divided into fivefold, fivefold: one interpretation, two manifestations, three Mingzong, four treatises, and five judgments.
The old monk stopped, he was waiting for the little monk to digest and absorb his knowledge, watching the little monk's eyes gradually change from confused to clear, he asked, "Is it clear what I said earlier?" ”
Xiao Lingjue nodded and said, "It's so big that I know, please continue to teach the master." ”
The old monk smiled with satisfaction, this little guy's understanding is really terrifying, and he seems to be more refined than in his previous life, and said:
"The scriptures in this place are named after people and laws. Taking the achievements of the Dharma as the "body" is true. To wish to live as a "sect", according to the haircut of the vow. To determine the truth of confusion is "use", and practice according to the law. To introduce power into reality as the "teaching", full of the wishes of all sentient beings. Briefly mark the fivefold meaning of this scripture"
"There are seven kinds of names for the Gude exegesis, which are inseparable from people, laws, and metaphors (single three, complex three, and full one).
Those who set the subject with people, such as the Amitabha Sutra. Amitabha is Sanskrit, this cloud is "immeasurable light", that is, when the enlightenment of the nature of the vision, its light is immeasurable: Amitabha is also known as "immeasurable longevity", when we get the Dharma, the Dharma is original, immortal, immortal, permanent in the world, Dharma longevity is boundless. ”
"Immortal, living in the world, the law is boundless, this Tibetan scripture is really extraordinary, and Xiao Lingjue has been taught." The little monk said shockingly.
The old monk smiled and said: "If you practice my Jizo King Bodhisattva Sutra can be refined into the golden body of the King of Immovable Ming, then the law will be difficult to break, all evils will not invade, and when it is completed, the Dharma will have no borders." People are the law, so people are used to establish scriptures.
Those who use metaphors to establish the topic, such as the Sanskrit Net Sutra. When the Buddha contemplated the great Brahma kings, they were snared, because the immeasurable world was like a net, one by one, each different, different and immeasurable. ”
The old monk smiled lightly, he still has some confidence in this Jizo King Bodhisattva Sutra, if he really refines to the Mahayana realm, he can also compete with the Buddha with the body of the Bodhisattva.
Xiao Lingjue said, "Can I use this Jizo King Bodhisattva Sutra as a basis and embark on the path to Buddhahood?" ”
The old monk shook his head and said: "This Jizo King Bodhisattva Sutra can only help you enhance your combat power, but it can't help you become a Buddha, if you want to become a Buddha, you must go out of your own way!"
One world, each different, immeasurably different. Buddhism is the same, each world, the teachings are different, so the Bodhisattva to the immeasurable world, close to the immeasurable Buddhas, do the Buddha's immeasurable way, brave and diligent, the name of the universal, in order to become a Buddha, is a metaphor is also the law, so some scriptures are based on metaphors.
Those who use the Dharma to set the topic, the Buddha will obtain the Dharma, and give speeches to others, such as Prajna, Nirvana, Fang and other sutras, are all based on the Dharma. The Dafang Guangfo Huayan Sutra is a scripture with sufficient people, law and metaphors. Not to explain one by one. ”
Well, what this master said is right, the master has often taught himself that if you want to become a Buddha, you must take a different path, blindly imitate others, and when you reach the realm, you will naturally stop, and you will not be able to surpass others at all.
The old monk's expression suddenly became focused again, and he said, "Your future path should be up to you, little one, if you want to fulfill your wish, you must become a Buddha!" ”
The little monk didn't understand why the old monk's expression suddenly became solemn? But he sensed that the old monk had no ill will towards him.
Unlike those Bodhisattva Arhats in the Buddha Kingdom, this old monk's face is full of sincerity, giving the little monk a feeling like a spring breeze.
The old monk said: "The "Jizo Bodhisattva Original Wish Sutra" is based on people and law.
"Jizo Bodhisattva" is a human being, and "original wish" is the Dharma. The word "bodhisattva" is sufficient for the cloud "bodhisattva".
Bodhi is the path of the Buddha, and Sadhi is the way of sentient beings; The Bodhisattva is to seek the Buddha's path and transform sentient beings. The so-called 'develop bodhicitta and practice the bodhisattva path'.
If a bodhisattva wants to save sentient beings, he must first seek Bodhi, and with the method of Bodhi, he can transform sentient beings. If you want to seek the Buddha's path, you must first save all sentient beings, and all sentient beings will be exhausted, and Bodhi will appear.
Therefore, to seek Bodhi upwards is to transform sentient beings downward; Descending to sentient beings, that is, seeking Bodhi upwards. Two of them have a prosthetic ear.
Do you know what Jizo is? What is a Bodhisattva? ”
Xiao Lingjue replied: "I don't know very well, I only know that the King of Jizo Bodhisattva is a person of immeasurable merits, but the specific reason is not very clear. ”
The old monk explained: "'Jizo' is a name, and 'Bodhisattva' is named after virtue. The earth is also the heart. The human heart is like the earth, and the earth can give birth to all things, and everyone knows it;
If the heart can give birth to ten thousand laws, then the people will not know it, and they will fake the Dharma, invent the heart, and the heart will contain immeasurable pure merits, so that they can live by themselves and become Buddhas; Use this merit to save him and make him become a Buddha.
Why? There is no merit in this, and there is no self-nature. Therefore, if you can save yourself and others, you will become a Buddha. ”
The old monk said again:
"Lao Qu met Kong Chung Ni many years ago, and Buddhism is equal. Kong Zhongni said: "I have established a person, I have reached a person, and the name is benevolence." That's the same thing. ”
Xiao Lingjue said: "Kong Sheng is a Confucian person, is this also in line with our Buddhism..."
The old monk smiled: "So you need to let go of the difference between sects, since ancient Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism, the three families are one family, how to divide the factions, just take their strengths and make up for their shortcomings." ”
"Is Buddhism and Taoism a family? Little Lingjue was taught. "If the little spiritual consciousness has gained, he bows his head and ponders, and it is because he understands this truth that the Bodhisattva of the Earth makes a wish according to the principle - all sentient beings are exhausted, and the Bodhi is realized.
The old monk looked at the little monk blankly, and suddenly asked, "Little guy, have you ever made a wish to borrow merit from the Heavenly Dao?" ”
Xiao Lingjue bowed his head and said: "The poor monk did make a wish to borrow merit from the sky, and it may be precisely because of this that Lingjue's master was ...... suffered."
Maybe this is God's punishment for himself! The master may also be because he was implicated by himself, thinking of this, suddenly his eyes were sour, and tears washed his little face inexplicably.
After a while, the little monk wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a serious expression: "Amitabha, let the master smile, the poor monk still can't control his emotions a little, there are really some magic obstacles." ”
The old monk comforted him a lot, but just explained: "Make a wish to make a person become a Buddha first, so it is called a great wish." It is also a wish made in the past, hence the name "this wish". Your master's karma is difficult, so there will be such a catastrophe, not because of you, besides, I and other people in Buddhism, cultivate in the next life, cultivate reincarnation, presumably your master in the next life, will definitely cast a good baby! ”
The little monk's originally gloomy expression revealed a trace of essence, and he said lightly: "The master has countless people in his life, and he will definitely have good rewards, I hope he will be happier and more happy in the next life, Amitabha!" ”
This sentence was said by him in a very sincere tone, and he sincerely hoped that the master would be able to devote himself to a good family in the future.
The old monk looked at the little monk silently, this kid, is it my cause and effect? Or my calamity? Those Buddhas who are high up, "he" is back, is it gratifying? Lamentable?
