"Dharma Bloodline Theory"
The three realms are mixed and converge into one heart. The Buddha before and after the Buddha transmits the heart from heart to heart without establishing words.
(That is, the heart is the Buddha, and external pursuit is the devil)
The question is: If we don’t establish words, what is the heart?
Answer:
What you ask me is your heart, and what I answer you is my heart. If I have no intention, why can I answer you? If you have no intention, why would you ask me? This is your mind that asks me. From the great kalpa without beginning, to all the times and places where you perform actions, it is your original mind, and it is your original Buddha. Even if the mind is a Buddha, it is also like this. Apart from this mind, there is no other Buddha to be found; apart from this mind, there is no point in looking for Bodhi and Nirvana! Self-real reality is non-causal. Dharma is the meaning of the mind, and the mind is Nirvana. If there is a Buddha and Bodhi that can be obtained outside the heart, it is useless!
Where are Buddha and Bodhi? For example, is it possible for someone to hold the void in his hand? Emptiness has a name, but it has no appearance. If you cannot take it or part with it, you cannot catch it. Apart from this mind, one will never be able to see the Buddha. Buddha is achieved by one's own mind, so why should one look for Buddha outside of one's own mind? The Buddha before and after the Buddha only talks about his heart. The heart is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the heart. There is no Buddha outside the heart, and there is no heart outside the Buddha.
If there is a Buddha outside the heart, where is the Buddha? If there is no Buddha outside the mind, how can we see the Buddha? They deceive each other one by one, unable to control their original intention, and are captured by its ruthless things, without freedom. If you don’t believe it, it’s useless to lie to yourself.
The Buddha has no faults. All living beings are upside down and do not realize that they are Buddhas in their own minds. If you know that you are a Buddha in your own mind, you should not look for Buddha outside your mind. If the Buddha does not save the Buddha, he will search for the Buddha with his heart and not recognize the Buddha! But those who look for Buddha outside do not realize that they are Buddhas in their own hearts! You must not pay homage to the Buddha, or recite the Buddha's name in your mind. The Buddha does not recite sutras, the Buddha does not observe the precepts, the Buddha does not violate the precepts, the Buddha does not uphold and violate the precepts, and he does not do good or evil.
If you want to find the Buddha, you must see your nature. Seeing your nature is the Buddha. If you don't see your nature, chanting Buddha's name, chanting sutras, observing fasts and observing precepts will be of no benefit. Reciting Buddha's name will gain you cause and effect, reciting sutras will gain you wisdom, observing the precepts will gain you rebirth in heaven, giving alms will gain you blessings, but you will never find the Buddha!
If you don’t understand, you must consult good knowledge to understand the fundamentals of life and death. If you don’t see your nature, you are not called a good teacher! If this were not the case, even if one could read the twelve sutras, one would not be able to escape the cycle of life and death! Suffering in the three realms, there is no time to escape! (Criticism of modern Dharma masters)
In the past, there was a monk named Good Star, who recited the twelve sutras, but he was inevitably reincarnated because he could not see his nature! Since this is the case, good stars, people nowadays who read three or five sutras and treatises as Buddha Dharma are just fools! If you don't understand your own mind, even reciting idle documents will be of no use.
If you want to find Buddha, you must directly see your nature. Nature is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the free person who does nothing and does nothing. If you don't see your nature, you will be in a state of confusion all day long, searching outside, but you won't find the Buddha's source!
Although there is nothing to be found, if you want to understand it, you must also seek help from a good teacher, and you must pray hard so that your heart can understand it. .
Life and death are important matters and cannot be ignored. It is useless to lie to oneself. Even if there are delicacies as precious as a mountain, and family members as the sands of the Ganges River, you can see them when you open your eyes, but can you still see them when you close your eyes? Therefore, we know that there are conditioned methods, such as dreams and so on. If you don’t rush to find a teacher, your life will be wasted!
However, the Buddha nature exists by itself, and if you don’t follow the teacher, you will never understand it. Those who do not gain enlightenment from the teacher are rare (not impossible). If you meet by chance and get the will of a sage, you don't need to study for good knowledge (only those who are pacified don't need to study for it). This is what we are born with (knowledge from birth, the result of past lives), which is better than learning (natural talent is better than learning)! If you don't understand it, you must study hard and you will understand it through teaching.
If you haven’t understood it yet, you can still get it without learning! Different from charming, unable to distinguish between innocent people, falsely proclaiming Buddha's edicts, and slandering Buddha's taboo Dharma. Such and such, the teachings are like rain, they are all the teachings of demons, that is, they are not the teachings of Buddha. The master is the devil, and the disciples are the devils. You can let it command you, and you will fall into the sea of ??life and death. (The virtues of modern scholars and students)
But if you don’t see the nature of a person, you pretend to be a Buddha. These sentient beings are great sinners, deceiving all sentient beings and causing them to enter the demonic realm. If you don’t see your nature (you don’t see your essence), then all the twelve scriptures and teachings are just demonic theories! The descendants of the demon family are not Buddhist disciples! If you don't know what's wrong, how can you avoid life and death?
If you see your nature, you are a Buddha; if you don’t see your nature, you are a living being. If there is no Buddha-nature that can be obtained apart from the nature of sentient beings, where is the Buddha now? That is, the nature of all living beings is the nature of Buddha. There is no Buddha outside of nature, Buddha is nature! Apart from this nature, there is no Buddha to be found! There is no sex outside the Buddha!
Question: If you don’t see your nature, can you become a Buddha by chanting Buddha’s name, chanting sutras, giving alms, observing the precepts, working diligently, and promoting welfare?
Answer: No.
Ask again: Why not?
Answer:
There are few dharmas that can be obtained. They are conditioned dharmas, cause and effect, retribution, and reincarnation. They are inevitable in life and death. When can we attain Buddhahood? To become a Buddha you must see your nature. If you don’t see nature, cause and effect, etc., it’s a heretic method! If you are a Buddha, don’t practice the heretic method!
The Buddha is a person with no industry, no cause and effect, but there are few methods to obtain, it is all slandering the Buddha! How can you get it? Success? But if there is one mind, one ability, one understanding, and one view, the Buddha will not allow it!
The Buddha has no attachments and offenses, and his mind is essentially empty and not pure. All dharmas have no practice, no realization, no cause and no effect (the essence is non-causal law, it originally existed, and it will not perish later). If the Buddha does not keep the precepts, does not practice good deeds, does not do evil, does not work diligently, and does not slack off, he is a non-human being. But if you have an abiding mind, you will not be allowed to see the Buddha.
The Buddha is not a Buddha, so don’t interpret it as a Buddha. If you don’t see this meaning, you will not be able to follow your original mind at all times and everywhere!
If you don’t see your nature, you will have no thoughts at all times! He is a great sinner and a fool, falling into the sky without memory; he is as dazed as a drunken man and cannot distinguish his likes and dislikes!
If you plan to practice non-practicing methods, you must first see your nature, and then stop worrying about conditions. If you don’t see your nature and become a Buddha, there is no point in it!
Some people believe that there is no cause and effect, and they commit evil deeds voluntarily, falsely saying that they are empty, and doing evil without fault. In this way, they will fall into the eternal dark hell, and there will never be an escape.
If you are a wise person, you should not interpret it this way.
Question: If action is in motion, the original mind is present at all times. When the body is impermanent, why can’t we see the original mind?
Answer: My original mind always appears in front of me, but you don’t see it?
Question: Since the mind is seeing it, why is it not seeing it?
The teacher said: Have you ever had a dream?
Answer: I had a dream.
Question: When you dreamed, was it you?
Answer: It is itself.
Another question: Are your words, actions, and movements different from yours?
Answer: No.
The Master said: If there is no difference, then this body is your original Dharma body; that is, this Dharma body is your original mind.
This mind has been in existence since time immemorial, and it is no different from what it is now; there has never been birth or death, neither birth nor death. It does not increase or decrease, it is neither dirty nor pure, it is neither good nor evil, it does not come or go; there is no right or wrong, no male and female, no monks, old or young, no saints, no ordinary people; there are no Buddhas, no sentient beings, and no enlightenment. , there is no cause and effect, no muscle strength, and no appearance; it is like the void, cannot be taken, cannot be let go, mountains, rivers, and stone walls cannot hinder it; it can come and go freely with supernatural powers; it can pass through the Five Yun Mountains and cross the river of life and death; all karma cannot be bound to this dharma body.
This mind is subtle and difficult to see. This mind is different from the color mind. This mind is something everyone wants to see. Those who move their hands and feet in this light are like the sand of the Ganges River. Even when asked, they always have no idea. They are like wooden figures who always use themselves. Why don't they know? The Buddha said that all sentient beings are all charming, so they fall into the river of life and death because of their deeds, and they have not yet emerged, just because they do not see their nature. If sentient beings are not confused, why do they ask about it and no one understands it? Why don't they know how to move their own hands and feet?
I know that the words of the sage are good but charming. Therefore, we know that this is difficult to understand. Only the Buddha can understand this method; the rest of humanity, heaven, and sentient beings cannot understand it at all.
If wisdom is clear, this mind is called Dharma nature, and it is also called liberation. It is not restricted by life or death, and it cannot be restricted by any law! This is the Great Self-Contained King Tathagata; it is also called the Inconceivable, the Holy Body, the Immortal, and the Great Immortal. Although the names are different, the substance is one.
The various differences between saints (the so-called fruition status) are all inseparable from one's own mind (the Diamond Sutra says that the difference between saints lies in inaction). The mind is vast and has endless applications. The eyes should see the colors, the ears should hear the sounds, the nose should smell the fragrance, the tongue should understand the taste, and even the actions of giving are all from the mind. At all times, if there is only language, it is your own mind.
Therefore, the Tathagata's color is endless, and his wisdom is also restored. The inexhaustible color is the mind, and the mind's awareness of goodness can distinguish everything, and even give and use it, all of which are wisdom. The heart has no form, and the wisdom is endless. Therefore, the Tathagata's color is endless, and his wisdom is also restored.
The four major form bodies are the troubles. The form body has birth and death. The Dharma body is permanent and has no residence. The Tathagata Dharma body never changes. The Sutra says: All sentient beings should know that Buddha-nature inherently exists.
Kasyapa just realized the true nature, which is the heart, the heart is the nature, and the nature is the same as the hearts of all Buddhas. The Buddhas before and after only transmit the mind. Apart from this mind, no Buddha can be obtained.
Confusing sentient beings who don’t know that they are Buddhas in their own minds, they seek outside and are busy all day long; chanting Buddha’s name and paying homage to Buddha, where is the Buddha? You shouldn’t wait to see it like this! But know your own mind, and there is no other Buddha outside your mind! The Sutra says: All appearances are false. He also said: Wherever he is, there is a Buddha!
(Don’t worship the Buddha when you see him!)
If you think of yourself as a Buddha, you should not pay homage to the Buddha. However, if you suddenly see the appearance of a Buddha or a Bodhisattva, you should not pay homage to him! My heart is empty and silent, and I don’t have such an appearance. If I take the appearance, I will be a demon! All evil ways! If the illusion arises from the heart, there is no need to be polite! The ceremonial person doesn’t know! It's disrespectful to know! Li was possessed by a demon! I'm afraid that scholars don't know, so they pretend to be different!
(Do not worship the devil)
None of the Buddhas and Tathagata have such an appearance in their original nature, so you must pay attention! But if you have a different realm, don’t use it! Don’t be afraid! Don't wonder! My heart is originally pure, how can I have such an appearance? Even the gods, dragons, yakshas, ??ghosts, gods, emperors, and kings such as Brahma, don’t even have to respect them! Don’t be afraid! My heart is originally empty, and all appearances are false views! But don’t take pictures!
If you see the Dharma and the appearance of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and respect them, you will fall into the position of living beings. If you want to meet directly, don't take any form to get it, let alone say anything else.
The Sutra says: All appearances are false! They all have no fixed reality, and illusion has no fixed phase! It’s the law of impermanence! If it does not take the form, it is in accordance with the holy will.
Therefore the sutra says: Those who are separated from all appearances are called Buddhas.
Question: Why can’t we pay homage to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas?
Answer: Asura, the demon Boshun, showed his supernatural powers and made the appearance of a Bodhisattva and all kinds of changes. This is a heretic! It’s not Buddha! The Buddha is your own mind, don’t miss worshiping!
Buddha is the Western language, and this earth is the awakening nature. The awakened person's spiritual awareness, responding to opportunities, picking up objects, raising his eyebrows and blinking his eyes, and moving his hands and feet are all the nature of his own spiritual awareness. Nature is the heart, the heart is the Buddha, the Buddha is the Tao, and the Tao is Zen. Zen is a word that cannot be measured by the Holy Spirit.
Another saying:
Seeing one’s true nature is Zen! If you don’t see your true nature, it’s not Zen! Suppose it is true! If you don’t see your true nature, you are just an ordinary person! It’s not Buddhism! The way is deep and deep, and it is impossible to talk about it. How can the classics and teachings be reached? But when you see your true nature, you can get it even if you don’t know a word!
Seeing the nature is the Buddha. The holy body is originally pure and free of impurities. All words spoken by saints come from the heart! The body of the book is inherently empty, and the famous sayings are far behind. How can the Twelve Parts of the Sutra be achieved?
(Those who destroy attachments, practice and realize, and eliminate worries)
The Tao is perfect, no need to practice and realize! The Tao is non-sensual, subtle and hard to see. Just like when a person drinks water, he knows whether it is warm or cold, but he cannot tell others about it! Only the Tathagata can know it, the rest of humanity, heaven and others are not aware of it!
Ordinary people are not wise enough, so they have attachments.
If you don't realize that your mind is originally empty and still, and if you cling to all dharmas, you will fall into the heretics! If you know that all dharmas arise from your mind, you should not have any attachment. If you are attached, you will not know!
If you see your true nature, the twelve sutras will always be idle words! Thousands of scriptures are just a matter of understanding the mind! What is the use of teaching generals if they make a pact with each other? (I already know this, why do I still need you to teach me?) What a wise statement!
Teaching is just words, not the Tao! (Dharma said)
(Seeing Buddha in broken dreams is just a demon)
The Tao is speechless, and speaking of it is false! If you dream at night about pavilions, palaces, elephants and horses, trees, jungles, ponds and pavilions, you cannot even think of happiness! It’s all a place of support! (The devil seduces you into being reincarnated as an animal) Be careful! When you are dying, you are not allowed to take pictures! Obstacles can be removed. A suspicious glance is a sign of magic!
The Dharmakaya is originally pure and free of feeling! Just because of confusion, without knowing it, and for this reason, I will receive retribution in vain! So there is joy but no freedom!
Now if you understand the original body and mind, you will not be tainted by habits. If you go from the saint to the mortal, you will see all kinds of hybrids, who are all living beings on their own, so the saint can be at ease even if he is rebellious and obedient, and no karma will be restrained by him!
The saint has great mighty virtue for a long time. All kinds of karma will be transformed by it, and heaven and hell will have nothing to do with it!
Ordinary people have dim consciousness, unlike saints, who are clear inside and outside. If you have any doubts, don't do it. If you do it, you will wander into life and death, regretting it and having no place to save you! Poverty and hardship are all caused by delusions! If you understand this and give advice to each other, but do nothing but do it, you will enter the Tathagata’s understanding!
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
初发心人，神识总不定；若梦中频见 It’s a strange place, so there’s no need to doubt it! They all originate from the mind and do not come from outside. If you see a bright light appearing in a dream, passing through the sun, it means that the remaining habits will be eliminated and the nature of the Dharma Realm will be seen. If this happens, it is the cause of enlightenment (if you are happy, you will lose the fruit). You only know it for yourself, don’t tell others!
Walking, standing, sitting or lying down in the quiet garden, you may see bright lights, big or small, don’t tell others, and you are not allowed to take them! It is also the light of one's own nature. Or if you are walking, standing, sitting or lying down in the stillness of the night, you may see light that is no different from daytime. No wonder, it is because your own desires are obvious!
Or if you see the stars and the moon clearly in a night dream, you may want to let go of all the conditions in your mind, but you cannot tell others! If the dream is dim, as if you are walking in the dark, it means that your mind is troubled and blocked, and you know it. .
------------------------------------------------ ------
If you see your true nature and don't need to read scriptures and recite Buddha's name, it will be useless to learn more and know more! Your spiritual consciousness will turn faint! Teachings are only to mark the mind; if you know the mind, what use is there to read the teachings?
If you go from being an ordinary person to becoming a saint, you must rest your karma and rest your mind, and live your life accordingly. If you are too angry and make your nature go against the Tao, you will gain nothing!
(Enlightenment is the Buddha)
The sage can come and go as he pleases in life and death, and his appearance and appearance are uncertain. Karma cannot hold it back! The sage destroys evil spirits, and all sentient beings can see their true nature, and all remaining habits are eliminated! The spiritual consciousness is not ignorant! It must be straight down, only now!
If you want to truly understand the Tao, don't hold on to everything. Dharma: rest your karma and rest your mind, and the remaining habits will be exhausted! Naturally understand, don’t fake hard work! Heretics don’t know the Buddha’s will and work the hardest; they violate the holy will, chant the Buddha’s scriptures all day long, and become unconscious of the divinity, so they will inevitably reincarnate!
The Buddha is an idler, why should he be driven around to seek fame and fortune? What's the use later? But if you don’t see your nature, you will read scriptures and recite the Buddha’s name, and you will study diligently for a long time; you will practice the Tao for a long time, and you will not lie down for a long time; you will study extensively, and you will think that it is the Dharma? These sentient beings are all slanderers of the Buddha and Dharma!
Buddhas before and after, only talk about seeing nature. All actions are impermanent, and if you do not see your nature and falsely say that you have attained Ayutthaya, you are a great sinner!
Among the ten great disciples, Ananda was ranked first among the many scholars. He did not know the Buddha and only learned the Buddha. The two-vehicle heretics did not know the Buddha. They cultivated the knowledge of numbers and fell into cause and effect! This is the karma of all living beings, and they are inevitably born and died! Disobeying the Buddha's will means slandering all sentient beings, and killing is guiltless. The scripture says: If a person does not have faith in Chanti, his desire to kill will not lead him to commit any crime.
If you have faith, this person is a Buddha. If you don't see the nature, you don't need to take the next step and slander it as good, you will gain nothing! Good and evil occur clearly, and cause and effect are clear. Heaven and hell are only in front of you, fools don't believe it! Now I am falling into the dark hell; I am not aware of it, I just don’t believe it because of my heavy karma. For example, a blind person does not believe that there is light, nor does he believe that there is light in the vertical direction. He is just blind, so how can he see the light of the sun? The same is true for fools.
Nowadays, we have fallen into the category of beasts, born in poverty and low status, unable to survive or die. Even though I am suffering, I ask directly and say that my happiness now is no different from heaven. Therefore, we know that all sentient beings are happy wherever they are, and they are not aware of it. Such evil people are only unable to have faith due to heavy karma and obstacles, and they are not free from it.
(Those who have broken the body and become a monk but do not want to become a monk)
If you see that your mind is a Buddha, you no longer need to shave off your beard and hair, but you will also become a Buddha in white clothes. If you don’t see your nature and shave off your beard and hair, you are also a heretic!
Question: How can I achieve Buddhahood if I have a wife in white clothes and my lust is not eliminated?
Answer: Only talk about sex, not lust! Just because you don't see your nature; but when you see your nature, lust is originally empty and silent. If you cut it off, you won't be happy. Even if you have residual habits, it can't do any harm!
Why? Nature is inherently pure. Although it is in the body of five aggregates, its nature is originally pure and cannot be polluted. The Dharmakaya originally has no feelings, no hunger or thirst, no cold or heat, no disease, no love, no dependents, no pain or pleasure, no likes and dislikes, no short or long, no strength or weakness. Originally there is nothing to be gained! It is only due to the attachment to this physical body that there will be hunger, thirst, cold, heat, miasma and other symptoms.
If you are at ease in life and death, you can transform all dharmas and be at ease with the magical powers of the saints, and there will be no uneasiness anywhere. If you have any doubts, make the decision to pass through all realms. If you don't do what is best, if you do, you will inevitably reincarnate in life and death. If he sees his true nature, Chandala will also become a Buddha.
Question: How can Chandala attain Buddhahood through the act of killing?
Answer:
Only talk about the nature but not the homework. Even if the tasks are different, all karma cannot be limited! Since the great kalpa without beginning, we have just lost sight of our nature and fallen into hell, so we have to undergo the cycle of life and death.
Understand your true nature and never do homework! If you don’t see your nature, you can avoid retribution by reciting Buddha’s name! Regardless of killing lives. If doubts about sex are eliminated immediately after seeing them, there is no need to kill them!
The twenty-seven ancestors from the West just passed down the heart seal. Now that I have come to this land, I only preach the Mahayana teachings, that is, I am the Buddha in my heart, and I do not talk about observing the precepts and practicing asceticism diligently.
Even entering water and fire, boarding a sword wheel, eating and sitting for a long time without lying down, all are external dharma. If you realize the nature of spiritual awareness in the movement of giving, you will have the mind of all Buddhas.
The Buddhas before and after them only speak their minds, and there is no other way. If you know this Dharma, even an ordinary person who doesn't know a single word is also a Buddha. If you don't realize the nature of your spiritual awareness, and if your body is as broken as a mote of dust, you will never be able to find the Buddha.
Buddha is also called the Dharmakaya and the original mind. This mind has no form, no cause and effect, no bones and muscles, it is like empty space and cannot be obtained. Different qualities and obstacles, different heretics.
Except for the Tathagata alone, this mind can be understood by all other living beings. This mind cannot be separated from the four major physical bodies. If it is separated from this mind, it will be unable to move. The body is ignorant, like grass, trees and rubble. The body is sexless, so why does it move? If the heart moves, even words, actions, seeing, hearing, and awareness are all moved by the heart.
Movement is the movement of the heart, and movement is its use. There is no intention to use outside, and there is no action outside the heart. Movement is not the heart, and the heart is not movement. There is no intention to move, and there is no intention to move. Don't move away from your heart, don't leave your heart behind. There is no separation of mind when moving, and there is no separation of mind when moving. Movement is the use of the heart, and use is the movement of the heart. When it is moved, it is used by the heart, and when it is used, it is moved by the heart. If it is not moved or used, the body itself is empty. The emptiness is inherently motionless, and when you use the same mind, the heart is essentially motionless.
The Sutra says: Moving but not moving, coming and going all day long but never going, seeing all day long but never seeing it, roaring all day long but never roaring, hearing all day long but never hearing it, knowing all day long but not knowing it, rejoicing all day long But I have never been happy, I have been traveling all day long but have not yet traveled, and I have been living all day long but have never lived.
Therefore the Sutra says: The speech path is cut off, the mental conduct is destroyed, seeing, hearing, and awareness are inherently peaceful. Even anger, joy, pain and itching are so different from others, because they only seek pain and itching but cannot get it.
Therefore the sutra says: Bad karma will bring you suffering, and good karma will bring you good rewards. Not only will you fall into hell if you are angry, but you will be reborn in heaven if you are happy. If you know that anger and joy are empty in nature, but if you don't hold on to them, you will be free from karma.
If you don’t see your nature, there will be no basis for preaching the sutras, and there will be no end to your explanations. The slightly marked evil is just like that, but not as good as one or two.
Psalm:
The mind is hard to find. When it is wide, it is all over the Dharma Realm, but when it is narrow, it cannot tolerate a needle.
My original intention is not to seek Buddha, but I understand that the three realms are empty.
If you want to seek Buddha, you only need your heart. Only this heart is Buddha.
I originally seek to be self-controlled, but I don’t want to wait until my heart knows.
Buddha nature cannot be obtained from outside the heart, and sin arises when the mind arises.
The verse says:
I am originally from this land. Preach the Dharma to save the lost love.
One flower blooms with five leaves. The result comes naturally.
