Chapter Ninety-Eight: Color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color
As soon as Toyoha and Jizo King Bodhisattva landed on the lotus flower, they were surrounded by children.
The giants of light, who walked quietly, also approached them.
The children's innocent smiling faces and innocent voices made Feng Yu feel happy and comforted, feeling that they were beautiful and pure.
"Do you remember the baby spirit night wind that you tempered?"
Feng Yu was stunned, and fixed his surprised gaze on the Bodhisattva's face, but he didn't expect that the night breeze would be suddenly mentioned.
Without waiting for the Young Hero King to speak, the Jizo King Bodhisattva said calmly, "Because of your transcendence, Yoikaze can have the opportunity to go to the Wheel Treasure Hall of Hell to reincarnate as a human. But ......"
"But you arranged for Yoikaze to possess the body of a man who had just died, and let him return to the world in this way."
Even if the words were interrupted, the Bodhisattva's expression remained calm, without sorrow or joy.
"Neither let him reincarnate as a man, nor did he bring him to Boy City, but just let him borrow the identity of a human boy to live."
"Why are you doing this?"
Toyoha and Jizo King Bodhisattva exchanged thoughts, and no one could hear their hearts.
"There is not much time left to wait for the night wind to be reincarnated and grow up again, and the final judgment is just around the corner. If Yoikaze is born as a mother's womb, he may not be able to grow up, and he will not be able to wait for you to appear. β
Feng Yu was stunned, unable to suppress the flash of memories.
"You're amazing! When you are reincarnated as a human being, when you grow up, you will definitely become a hero of the world. β
"So will we meet again? Will heroes and heroes meet? β
"Haha, it will."
An indescribable loneliness enveloped him.
He stooped down, stretched out his hands, and picked up the few clamoring and high children at his feet.
Those innocent and childlike children stretched out their little hands very cooperatively, clinging to the palms, fingers, arms, and shoulders of the five-meter-tall giants.
"Xiaofeng could have chosen to go to the Pure Land of Bliss in the Lotus Flower Hidden Mountains and Seas World, but he chose to be reincarnated as a human.
He said that he wanted to benefit all sentient beings, so he wanted to be a human being. β
"I felt his heart in all directions, and the moment he started my heart, I sensed his wish."
The eyebrows of the Jizo King Bodhisattva were always lowered, revealing a compassionate gaze for all beings, and the expression on his face was as emotionless as ever.
"Teacher, are you here to teach us the Fa?"
"Just to see you" like a spring breeze, gentle blowing through the children's ears.
"But I want to hear you talk about the Dharma?"
"yes, I'd like to hear it too."
The Bodhisattva of the Unphased Jizo King whispered, "What do you want to hear? β
"How can the clouds subdue their hearts? Should there be no place to live and give birth to its heart? β
The children's eyes lit up, and they shifted their clear and clear gazes, and looked curiously at the figure who said this.
Feng Yu just couldn't bear to think about it, and couldn't help blurting out.
"How can the clouds subdue their hearts? Should there be no place to live and give birth to its heart? That's a good question. β
"How easy is it to subdue their hearts and dwell on everything?"
"If you want to practice the Buddha's path, you must first get rid of the five poisonous minds. Only when the mind is free from obstacles, without obstacles, without fear, and away from upside-down dreams, can we achieve nirvana. β
The innocent and childlike voice, you wander beside the two bright giants with a word.
"Your present spirit bodies are pure and untainted, like a pure lotus flower that grows in the city of boys, untainted with the dust of the world.
When you are born into mortal beings with flesh and blood bodies, you will be defiled, and your pure and self-sufficient true and unadulterated nature will be sealed in the deepest part of your mind.
The pure mind of the wonderful enlightenment does not have all forms such as water and fire, but it is integrated with everything, and the mind can contain all things, and can spread all over the ten worlds, dwelling in silence, without birth and without destruction.
It is sentient beings who become confused and incomprehensible, and after violating the enlightened and pure mind, they merge with various phenomena, and thus give rise to the understanding of various things, and have the understanding of various forms in the world.
Mind and emptiness; earth, water, wind, fire; six eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind; Color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, and law six dusts; the difference between what the eye can see and what can't; the delusion of what people think about things; the Four Noble Truths of Suffering, Concentration, Extinction, and Path; Wisdom; enlightenment; The six perfections of generosity, discipline, patience, diligence, concentration, and wisdom: purity to the other side; Buddhahood; Consecrate; the four virtues of nirvana, happiness, self and purity; into the purity of the worldly and dharma realms; The wonderful and clear heart that is contained in the human nature; detachment from being and non-existence; There is and there is not.
They exist like light that does not come out of the sun or the void, but it is also inseparable from the void and the sun.
They are contained by the clear mind that unites all things, and it is all beings who generate all kinds of opinions.
Like a treasure of true innocence, all living beings are perfect.
The six roots of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, as well as the six dusts of color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, and dharma, are not born from karma, nor are they natural natures.
All of them arise from external causes and conditions, illusions, and delusions, and when the causes and conditions are dispersed and separated, the delusion will be extinguished.
The various forms of illusion in which all things manifest arise from illusion and are also eliminated in illusion. The nature of the various phenomena that arise from delusion and delusion is the pure body of wonderful enlightenment, that is, the true and delusional mind!
The nature is unstained and pervasive, harmonious and unhindered, containing the world of the ten directions, living in silence, without birth and without destruction. β
Some of the children were dumbfounded and shook their heads to show that they did not understand the profound words; Some of the children had happy faces on their faces.
The confused Feng Yu saw the Jizo King Bodhisattva sitting on the spot, and many immature and pure villains climbed on him.
The children laughed and laughed, and their cute faces were filled with bright smiles.
"Only when everything is not in the mind gives birth to a pure mind, can we see the nature clearly, realize the nature, and become a Buddha.
Enlightenment is originally clear, but because of delusion, we can't see the true face of the truth.
This true and undelusional mind is the pure and untainted true self-nature, that is, the Buddha nature! It is sentient beings who, because of delusion and attachment, have lost their true and innocent minds and are unable to see their true Buddha as they are.
The Buddha's void and aspectless Dharmakaya is the same as his nature, and the aspectless Dharmakaya is also emptiness, and the bright side of emptiness is the true and delusional mindβtrue as self-nature, that is, Buddha-nature.
If worldly beings subdue their delusions, their true intentions will appear, and when they do not dwell in their true hearts, they will become Buddhas after seeing their true nature. β
"Seeing nature and becoming a Buddha, that's what it means?"
"Taught, Teacher!"
The children, large and small, made a five-body posture with admiration, and then folded their hands together and recited respectfully and reverently, "Nan no Amitabha!" β
Yu, as a bystander, felt shocked and silently wrote down those words.
"If you believe that you are a Buddha, you will see the cognition of a Buddha, and the cognition of a Buddha is your own nature.
The nature is pure and untainted, harmonious and unhindered, but the nature of the Buddha is polluted and obscured by various external realms, giving rise to greed, hatred, ignorance, and suspicion.
Karma will give rise to delusions, and if there are delusions, there will be five poisonous minds. If you subdue your mind and purify your mind, your true nature will be revealed. β
The Jizo King Bodhisattva divides countless spirits, allowing them to be born from lotus flowers and give birth to human form.
Countless children and virgins bowed their heads or knelt on one knee and folded their hands and chanted, "Nam no Amitabha." β
The giants of light, standing upright or sitting cross-legged, were silent, like the arrival of a god who had left the world.
"The six roots and six dusts are not born of karma, nor are they natural nature. All of them arise from external causes and conditions, illusions, and delusions, and when the causes and conditions are dispersed and separated, the delusion will be extinguished.
The various forms of illusion that all things exhibit arise from illusion and are also eliminated in illusion. The nature of the various phenomena that arise from delusion and delusion is the pure body of wonderful enlightenment, that is, the true and delusional mind!
Color is emptiness, emptiness is color! Therefore, color and emptiness are not two, and color and emptiness are two sides of the same coin. The six roots and six dusts are delusional illusions, which give rise to delusional views when encountering fate, and after violating the enlightened and pure mind, they produce all kinds of confused opinions and distinctions, and at the same time, they are also contained by the clear mind that unites all things.
Emptiness can give birth to a clear and pure true mind, and this emptiness is the true self-nature that all living beings have, also known as Buddha nature.
Why is it true that it is like self-nature? All things in heaven and earth, including our bodies, are all based on the illusion of the true self-nature, which is the four false combinations of earth, water, fire, and wind, which are born and perished, and everything that is born and destroyed is born because there is an unborn and perishable true self-nature behind it.
It is true that if the self-nature encounters fate, it will give rise to delusion, and delusion will produce fate shadow in the heart through the six roots and contact with the six dusts, that is, the shadow.
In essence, color exists because of delusion, delusion is manifested because of color, color cannot leave delusion, delusion is inseparable from color, so color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color. β
Note: "Nature", "Truthfulness", and "Buddha Nature" mean almost the same thing, but the nouns in the book are used differently.
