Shi Taosheng said: "'Zhenru' is a Sanskrit paraphrase, it means true truth, refers to a kind of permanent and unchanging existence, can also be said to be a kind of eternal concept ontology that leaves reality and transcends a qiē, and the world's qiē is derived from it; In the view of the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism, the nature of all things in the world is 'true', and the form of all things is 'false', and 'false' is 'false'. ”

"Does this mean that the idea in the heart is true and fundamental, and all kinds of things are false and false, and only by reciting the Buddha in the heart and forgetting all things can we realize the truth?" Xiao Beiyou asked.

"Very good, you already have a certain understanding of Huineng's view of 'truthfulness', Zen Buddhism does regard the real things in the world as illusory, and the 'Buddha' in the heart as the most real, it is said that Huineng said a poem "True and False Movement and Quiet" before his death, describing his views on 'truth' and 'false':

'There is no truth in a qiē, and there is no truth in it.

If you see what is true, you see everything that is not true.

If you can have your own truth, you can leave the false and the heart is true.

The mind is not separated from the false, where is the truth without the truth?'

The meaning of this verse is that nothing in the world is real, do not take the false as true, and think that everything you see is true. If you can turn to yourself and know the truth in your own heart, then you will be able to leave the false form of the world, then you will have true heart, and if your heart will never leave the false form, then where can you find the truth?" Shi Taosheng explained.

"Uncle Shi, Huineng's view of 'true' and 'false' is very strange, originally, what we see clearly in front of us is true. Realistic. And the things in my heart may be fake, or they may be imagined, but Huineng is really fake. The real has become a fake. And it may be fake. But it turned out to be true, what's going on?" Xiao Beiyou asked.

"Actually, the 'true' mentioned by Huineng in the verse refers to 'true truth'. This 'truthfulness' is the nature of all things, the nature of all beings, the nature of human beings, and he said, 'nature is inherently non-existent and imperishable,' and things are only false appearances, and all appearances are false, and all things are born and perish, so they are false and unreal. Huineng has a famous saying: 'In self-nature, all laws are manifested.' This is a very typical view of the 'Theory of Dependent Origination', in which the 'self-nature' refers to the true nature of the being, that is, the 'true nature', and the 'ten thousand laws' in it refers to the whole world, including the subject and the object, which is all the things in the universe, and the meaning of this sentence is that the universe is derived from the 'true truth'. Shi Taosheng analyzed.

"The world's qiē is derived from 'Zhenru', so where does 'Zhenru' come from?

"The Sixth Patriarch Huineng believes that in the past, Buddhism's explanation of 'ontology' was very cumbersome, and he wanted to change this state, he directly regarded the 'ontology' as originating from the human heart, and the 'truthfulness' in the human heart as the origin of the world; in Huineng's view, 'becoming a Buddha' is to seek the Buddha from the heart, and to seek the truth from the 'self-nature', that is to say, the 'realization of the truth' does not lie in the distant world, but in the current real world, lies in people's self-consciousness, and in the fact that everyone can realize themselves. Shi Taosheng said.

"When you say 'attaining truthfulness', you mean 'becoming a Buddha', right? 'Becoming a Buddha' doesn't have to rely on reciting sutras for a long time, nor does it have to rely on the teachings of Buddhist masters, but mainly on self-awareness, which is very interesting. Xiao Bei lobbied.

Shi Taosheng said: "Exactly, 'becoming a Buddha' depends on self-realization, and Huineng has repeatedly explained this view of "verifying truth" through self-realization, for example, he said: 'All the laws are in your own heart, why don't you suddenly see the true nature from your own heart?'' Now you should believe in the Buddha and know the seeing, only your own heart, let alone any other Buddha. I heard that according to this practice, the West is only in the present. ''A qiē is born from one's own nature, not from the outside. ''Truth is the body of thought, and thought is the use of truth.'' ...... Truth is like self-nature, although the six roots have sight, hearing and awareness, they are not polluted by all realms, and the true nature is always at ease. Wait. ”

Shi Taosheng continued: "In Huineng's view, 'heart' is 'Buddha', and 'mind body' is 'truthfulness', and 'heart' should distinguish between 'mind' ('mind body') and its function ('seeing, hearing, and perceiving', etc.), and Huineng regards the 'truthfulness' ontology as directly originating from the human heart; From this point of view, 'Prajna' is born from 'self', 'Bodhi' seeks from one's own mind, and the Buddha's paradise and one's own mind are one, and one does not need to go to the distant world to comprehend 'true truth', but only need to realize 'true nature' through guò self-realization, and 'all dharmas are in one's own mind'. ”

Xiao Beiyou listened, seems to understand a lot more than before, he is very interested in this kind of self-awareness, "all the laws are in your own heart" point of view, he said: "Think about it carefully, this Hui Neng persuasion of people to believe in the Buddha method is really a bit special, the Buddha is not in the heavenly realm, it is in his own heart, from his own heart to find the Bodhisattva, by self-consciousness and 'Buddha', this is really interesting, the little nephew feels, Hui Neng's view, really a bit of the charm you said." ”

In his view, there is no ontology outside of the 'self-mind', it is the person's 'self-mind', and only the person's 'self-mind' is the true Buddha-nature, the origin of all things, and the 'self-nature', 'self-mind' and 'self-heart' have their own true Buddha-nature. Shi Taosheng continued.

"Great, in this way, chanting the Buddha is much simpler, just think about yourself, realize yourself, you don't have to recite the scriptures, you don't have to go to a distant place to learn the scriptures, you can realize the Buddha nature in your own heart, this is a simple and feasible thing, everyone can consciously realize the Buddha. Xiao Beiyou said happily.

"You can finally comprehend, Hui Neng is saying that the Buddha is in the heart, there is no need to seek Buddha nature from the outside, under normal circumstances, mortals are because of the Buddha nature in the heart covered by delusions, so they have not realized the 'true truth', once the delusion is removed, both inside and outside are clear, once the thought is realized, you can suddenly see the 'true nature'. Shi Taosheng said.

In fact, Shi Taosheng is after many years of research on Buddhism to gradually know about Buddhism, after understanding the various schools of Buddhism, Shi Taosheng is particularly interested in Zen Buddhism, he through guò in-depth study of Zen literature such as the "Altar Sutra", Shi Taosheng realized that the traditional Buddhism talks about the "Buddha nature of the origin of the theory" focuses on the exposition of the Buddha nature with the fate of the ten thousand laws, emphasizing that the "Buddha nature" exists in the other world, must go beyond this shore of the world, in order to seek the "true as", and Huineng's "true as the theory of dependent origination" is The relationship between the human heart and the "true truth", in his view, the "human heart" is the "true truth", Huineng is not concerned with the "Buddha nature" on the other side, but the state of mind of every living person, Huineng is sure that the "Buddha nature" is in the "own heart", the "human heart" has "true truth", as long as it can be self-conscious, it can realize the "Buddha nature", Huineng is on the theoretical basis of "the heart is the truth" to develop his Zen Buddhist theory.

After years of thinking and comprehension, Shi Taosheng felt that Huineng's view of "the heart is true" is of great enlightening significance for martial arts, and if this view can be melted into martial arts and swordsmanship, it will definitely be able to raise martial arts and swordsmanship to a higher level.

In the past two days, Shi Taosheng has been preaching Buddhism and Zen Buddhism to Xiao Beiyou.

What makes Shi Taosheng happy is that Xiao Beiyou understands the theory of Zen Buddhism very quickly, and can combine it with martial arts in time to think, Shi Taosheng praised in his heart: "Xiao Beiyou is really a good apprentice, and he is the best person to learn the unique 'Northern Soul Easy Sword'!"

Shi Taosheng was thinking about it, Xiao Bei said: "Huineng's thought of this kind of enlightenment, and suddenly saw that the view of 'true as nature' is too good, the little nephew hazy felt that this view will have a very important enlightenment for learning and practicing martial arts, but the little nephew is not clear about this for a while, Uncle Shi, can you tell the little nephew?"

"The theory of Zen Buddhism is too mysterious, Huineng's Buddhist thought is even more mysterious and profound, a few days, it is difficult to explain to you clearly, and Huineng Zen theory of martial arts, if only from the theory of theory, it is not important, you must read more "Tanjing", and through guò repeatedly in the practice of martial arts to gradually realize, in order to truly better integrate Zen thought into martial arts, this is just like the Zen theory emphasized, the most important thing is self-realization. Shi Taosheng said.

"Uncle Shi said well, Buddha nature needs to be self-realized, martial arts should also be consciously self-realized, 'true as' in the 'heart', the true meaning of martial arts is also in the heart, the little nephew suddenly felt, you are really a very great 'master', your method of teaching 'apprentice' is different, not directly to teach 'apprentice' martial arts moves, but first from Confucianism, Taoism, Zen Buddhism's doctrine, theory teaching, not to 'apprentice' move by hand to teach martial arts, but to inspire 'apprentice' to learn, think, Comprehension, encourage self-realization, this is a very effective way to teach martial arts, now, the little nephew can better understand the important meaning of what people say, 'Master introduces the door, practice by himself', think about it carefully, will feel more and more that Huineng's advocacy of 'self-realization' is too profound!" Xiao Beiyou said with great feeling. (To be continued......)
