Chapter 162: Realizing emptiness is like thunder

There is a very vivid metaphor in Buddhism that says that in an instant, people will have 184,000 thoughts. What is a moment? One-sixtieth of a snap of a finger is a moment. Eighty-four thousand thoughts in a flash is not an exact number. But it also shows how many distracting thoughts appear in a short period of time.

In general, only dead people and stubborn rocks will not be detected in the mental activity, in fact, even Cordyceps sinensis, a higher eukaryotic fungal organism, has a weak biological response to find parasitics and growth.

In particular, the more knowledgeable human beings are, because the more they learn, the more stubborn the thinking patterns in their minds become, and their physical and mental movements revolve around the so-called "three views" of life—these stubborn thoughts and patterns are like an unstoppable runaway train, running wildly on the established track until it derails.

The monks of Buddhism and Taoism, in order to enlighten the power of the origin of life, have attained the "emptiness of prajna", or the method of enlightenment to get rid of the suffering of the red dust.

Therefore, we have developed the need to use the 'thinking patterns of rebellious people's stubborn thoughts' to break the various physical and mental patterns that we have formed, so as to liberate ourselves from the three vicious samsaric thoughts that form the eight sufferings of life (the suffering of birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, resentment and hatred, the suffering of not being able to ask for it, and the five yin and blazing suffering) - hell, beasts, asura, etc.

Certain stubborn habits and mind-body patterns have been present since we were born.

At first, it was just a beast-like instinctive mental activity to survive. Then, under the influence of the external environment, there will also be various subjective understandings, various ideologies, all kinds of beauty, ugliness, good and evil, the concept of high and low, distant and close relatives, and so on.

and even from the ...... of our ancestors Since the emergence of the ancestors, the instincts of how to deal with natural and man-made disasters in the outside world to ensure that their offspring are reproduced and preserved have been strengthened over time, such as seven emotions and six desires, greed and ignorance, and so on.

Thoughts are stubborn and interconnected, and a single thought can lead directly to a series of subsequent thoughts, and it is very difficult to break this kind of instinctive reaction of thinking patterns.

It is also because Lao Chen has crossed over from the earth to the other world that his mental nature has changed greatly, so that he can understand the problems of thinking, and he can get rid of the ability to be driven by thinking, emotions, and behavioral habits, and 'realize emptiness' from the various illusions of things generated by people's 'true nature sea', and understand that all things are void, and all things are void.

So what is the mind-body pattern that should be reversed?

Is it true that the purpose of cultivating Buddha and Zen meditation is to cultivate clay sculptures and wood sculptures that endure social suffering infinitely and wait for the next reincarnation under the Indian caste system?

Let's take the real-life case of Kunshan Longge's pretending to be forced to be grassy as an example.

People will inevitably encounter "Brother Long" in society - shoddy social rough goods, picking quarrels and provoking troubles, and deliberately hurting people.

You must know that there are hundreds of thousands of car accidents in China every year, with nearly 100,000 deaths and 30~500,000 disabled people.

Every 5 minutes, one person dies in a car accident, and every minute one person is disabled in a car accident, killing more than 280 people every day.

Thus.

Not to mention the collision between motor vehicles and BMWs, other road rage due to car accidents, pedestrians walking on the road and being hit by vehicles, and verbal altercations and physical conflicts abound. Normally, if one of us retreats and leaves, the matter will not continue to expand, because many people really feel that even if they pay lip service to a little loss, what good can they do in fighting? It doesn't matter if hooligans go to a detention center and squat for a few days, but their work and study will be greatly affected, and the gains outweigh the losses.

If you can avoid it, if you can't avoid it, then encourage it to turn money into a disaster?

This is a concession rather than a solution.

Because there is always a time when people can't avoid it, in an incident like Kunshan counter-killing, it is necessary to protect the safety of life and property of themselves and their families.

The people of India tolerated the caste system and did not bring about change.

If our ancestors had not made a revolution, they would not have the happy life they have now without being oppressed by the feudal forces.

These are the results of breaking the shackles of old ideas.

Compared with the "Non-Concession Act" of the United States, the justifiable defense provisions in China's "Criminal Law" are more respectful of life, but they are also more passive and conservative.

So when we encounter the need for legitimate defense, what is the appropriate measure and method?

Do you blindly tolerate it?

Of course not.

In the past era, some demon children and grandsons put on robes and entered temples to disguise themselves as monks.

In order to cater to the self-castration doctrine of the rulers, and even to castrate the human nature of people; they do not do anything to produce, but like the feudal rulers, they absorb the people's capital and people's anointing, provide for themselves, and build magnificent and noble statues and temples to live in; they cooperate with the various cannibalistic systems of the feudal society, preach the "hypocrisy" of no bottom line, and jointly oppress the people at the bottom who are already living a hard life.

Therefore, in terms of the correct wisdom philosophy of Buddhism, it is necessary to first break the old mode of mental and physiological operation, so as to transform this wrong mode of mind and body that can easily cause people's minds to fall into the lower three levels of suffering.

It must be understood that conniving at evil is to raise tigers for trouble, and many times the injustice and great evil around us are gradually indulged.

Buddhism still talks about angry eyes, which means that the compassionate person should also have an untouchable bottom line, and should not be stingy with thunderbolts and thunderbolts at the right time.

Of course.

Nor can we indulge our fiery instincts of desire like the wicked.

For example, people who are irritable or murderous are very likely to be angry in the structure of their mental system, which leads to the loss of their minds and their nonsense; just as we usually encounter malicious provocations, we often can't help but start a verbal fight with each other, and in the end, even if you take advantage of the reason at the beginning, you will eventually be beaten by the police comrades for fighting with others; you need to observe that your mind is dying like an illusion, and break the old stubborn mental system or 'habit'.

in order to know how to do the right thing to deal with emergencies.

When encountering provocative attacks by hooligans and gangsters, it is best to shout loudly and narrate the facts as much as possible to attract the attention of others, even if it is just a crowd of onlookers, it will arouse the scruples of gangsters and reduce the probability of the situation deteriorating. It must be known that gangsters are often weak-minded, although on the surface they are as fierce as little wolf dogs without parents; in fact, as long as they are not brain-dead or mentally retarded, they themselves know that what they are doing is often unreasonable or illegal, and it is very easy to trap themselves into it; the other is to pay attention to collecting evidence, and gangsters who can pick quarrels and provoke troubles are often very familiar with the logic of the police's handling of cases, and some of them have entered the palace many times. And they can't be expected to have such a thing as integrity. As soon as they see the police involved, they will often start to make up nonsense, such as saying that the victim hit him or scolded him first, and describe the incident as a social friction with cause and effect, rather than unilaterally picking quarrels and provoking trouble, trying to confuse the logic of the matter, which will be very beneficial to their subsequent incrimination and conviction.
