Master Lv Hui: What is the intention of the Buddha's practice method on earth?
Most of us have a misunderstanding about this kind of flower blooming to see Buddha, thinking that our god grows slowly in the lotus, and one day when it blooms, we will see Buddha, which is not what we mean. Seeing the Buddha when the flowers bloom means: wisdom blooms, that is, seeing the Buddha of self. When our pure Prajna wisdom is opened, we see the pure Buddha of our own nature, that's what it means. Everyone has the pure Buddha of self-nature, and all our dharmas are self-nature. To put it simply, when people come out of the world, they must rely on the wisdom of Prajna in order to see the self-Buddha, and they must transcend these illusions in order to open up complete wisdom. Repentance and Dharma Meeting are the solemn methods invented by later eminent monks and great virtues, which are convenient to attract all living beings to learn Buddhism. Convenience is not what it is. If you are enlightened and see nature, convenience is what it looks like. There are only three conditions and three sentences for Buddha to practice in the world. Eating once a day shows that he has no desire. This is a tabular method. Spend the night under the tree, meditate under the tree, and don't pay. It shows that he is diligent and can endure hardships for 24 hours. The third point is microscopic observation, which means that all methods are not centrifugal. Heart is all law, and law is our heart. Centrifuge method. Simply put, it is to pay attention to our initial heart and observe our initial heart, thus breaking the ignorance without beginning or end. Break ignorance, don't start with ignorant ideas. This is the way for Mahayana to study hard. Hinayana's bitter way of learning is to gather six roots, as Confucius said, see no evil, don't listen to evil. This is how life and death are created, instead of climbing five desires and six dusts. This was built by Arhat Hinayana. For example, diamonds have no good or bad, no good or evil, and diamonds don't say that you should cling to me, and the realm is as free as it is. Good and evil, right and wrong? Diamonds can't talk. What is terrible is our idea. If we know it, we will rob it. If we don't catch them, we will kill them. ), diamonds are not good or bad, good or evil, right or wrong, just because we have reversed our delusion and don't know that diamonds are temporarily owned. When we die, diamonds don't belong to us. If we don't understand the impermanence law, greed will create life and death. But getting through the realm is pure self. So we need to know where the real efforts of Buddhism are and pay attention to our intentions. This was the case when the Buddha was alive. Have a meal in Japan and China, spend the night under a tree and take good care of it. Just don't give up an idea. Observe our intentions carefully and see that all laws have no self. Everything about me is temporary. Everything we have today is an illusion. Only our nature is eternal, and eternal property is great wisdom. Who is the richest? People who study Buddhism are the richest. Don't you see that many rich people live in pain! If you can be content and understand that things change, you don't need to care so much, and your life will be relaxed and happy. Isn't that happier and richer than the rich? -Master Lv Hui (excerpted from the video of Master Lv Hui's Dharma Seeing Nature)
