Master Liu Zu said to Master Zhitong, you must never learn from the person who is eager to go out. Chi is a Mercedes-Benz, and there is no halter like a wild horse. Crawling around like a macaque. You see, monkeys are walking on the mountain, either catching trees or stones, trying to catch something. Wild horses will go crazy and run around if they have no halter. The same is true of monks. Don't ask for help. Talk about wisdom bodhi every day, and you will be dumbfounded when you meet something. When you have nothing to do, you talk about wisdom bodhi all day. When there is something, this brain freezes and short-circuits. Just like that wire, if it is short-circuited, the brain will fail and there is no wisdom at all.
Understand that others are smart and see that you are smart!
At this point, everyone will shine at the moment. We have a lot of time to tell others all day, don't be persistent, don't be persistent, he is actually the most persistent person. We are people who persuade others to see through and let go all day. That's a real pity. Uncomfortable If you can't see it, if you can't let it go, you will feel uncomfortable and your troubles will be entangled. When criticizing others, don't forget to tell yourself to tell others to see through, let go and don't be persistent. Because I have been in contact with wizards, I sometimes laugh when I think about it. We let others see through it all day, but we didn't see through it ourselves. What's that called? A cat shuts its eyes while it steals cream. Stuff your ears and think there is no sound. So learn to "look at yourself", observe from the heart, and don't go out for help.
One day meditation
There is a story that the teacher's father and his little apprentice live in a small room and are often harassed by bandits. The teacher's father taught the little apprentice a set of kung fu and boxing. One day, the teacher's father said, you have practiced this kung fu almost. Go out and make us some vegetarian food. Little master went down the mountain and ate a lot of vegetarian food from morning till night. In the evening, he is going up the mountain. I met some robbers at the mountain pass and tried to rob him. I robbed him and beat the young monk black and blue. He came back. What did Master say about your fasting? He said that I met some robbers on the way up the mountain, robbed me of my things and gave me a good beating, but I didn't get anything back. His master said, what about the kung fu I taught you? He touched his head and forgot all about it. We talk about Prajna Bodhi all day and forget it when we are troubled.
Just like the old woman who read Buddha, she said I quarreled with you, so I quarreled. I read Buddhism after the quarrel, which really made people laugh and cry. This happens all the time. You see, she has worked hard to do a lot of work and achieved a lot of merits. Finally, in a rage, in a rage, she made a determined effort, and all her merits and demerits were burned up by a fire. That's it, Kung Fu is not guaranteed, and I don't know that Kung Fu is used in daily life. It is to gesture and blink your eyebrows when you usually eat, drink and sleep. Wisdom is flickering, and I don't know how to really practice. Here the sixth ancestor said, "I talk about Bodhi all the time. 」
He also told master Zhitong: "The big round mirror is pure and wise, and the equal heart is free from disease." Wonderful view of wisdom sees non-achievement, and wisdom is the same as a round mirror. The fruit of 5867 has turned, but the famous saying is not true. If you don't pity at the corner, you will prosper forever. 」
The sixth ancestor was afraid that he didn't understand, so he further said to him, "Wisdom in a big mirror is pure in nature." What is big mirror wisdom? I also told you in the morning that our heart was originally like a big round mirror, without any dirt on it, and that is the wisdom of our big round mirror. Buddha has not increased, and now we have not decreased. Therefore, its body is clean, and it is repeatedly said that only purity can have great mirror wisdom. Without purity, there will be no mirror wisdom. The Great Round Mirror is a metaphor, which means that our wisdom is equal to the sea and vanity, and it has not increased in Buddha and Bodhisattva, nor decreased in ourselves. We hug it every night when we sleep, but we don't know. We open our eyes and use it, but we still don't know. That is, after practicing, you have to pass through here to know the wisdom of this big mirror. This is a project in Buddhism called Great Circle Mirror Wisdom.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi!
"the same intelligence is disease-free." What is equal intelligence? Seeing that buddhas, bodhisattvas and all sentient beings are equal, and your heart is equal, you will be equal if you are not sick. If there are people who are good and evil in their hearts, it is inequality. Without equality, there is no equal wisdom. Then let's observe the world with this eye again. You see, when this man is poor, his anger is very short-lived; When you are rich, you will be rich, that is, you will not have the same intelligence. In fact, people are poor and rich, but they are poor and rich for three generations. No one has ever been poor and no one has ever been rich. Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. We should all realize that the world is equal, and we should not look down on the poor when we are rich, nor flatter and envy the rich when we are poor. Adjust this mentality, and you will have this equal wisdom. If the mind is sick and unbalanced, it is sick. What's the matter? Schizophrenia, phobia and depression. If you are sick in your heart, you will not have the same intelligence.
Wonderful observation, wisdom is not work!
If you have great mirror wisdom and equal wisdom, you will naturally have wonderful observation wisdom. What is wonderful observation wisdom? This is a Buddhist theory. In fact, we use it every day, just as all of you use your own eyes of wisdom to analyze and judge people with your own naked eyes, knowing that the trees outside are green, the flowers are red and the house is empty. Miao Hua is here to give lectures and listen to scriptures. Because of wonderful observation and wisdom. Words are literary works, and architecture is architecture. It's all in our hearts If your mind is flat and clear, then you have wonderful observation wisdom. Why can't you see people and things clearly sometimes? It is your mind that is fascinated. If the mind is bright, a wonderful observation will appear in front of you.
Why is it called "seeing merits"? Generally speaking, people think that this man has wonderful observation and wisdom, and he has kung fu. In fact, his backstage boss is a big round mirror with the same intelligence. With the first two kinds of wisdom, the latter kind of wisdom will be available.
"What you have done is both wise and fruity. The wisdom of success is the wisdom of becoming a Buddha and all beings, and it is no different from the wisdom of the big round mirror in front.
If the idea of playing is dead, you can live by the law!
Let's briefly talk about "May 867 Fruit Turn". We usually play Buddha Seven, so why is it called playing Buddha Seven instead of playing Buddha Eight? The common people don't understand, saying that playing Buddha Seven is seven days, which is called Buddha Seven. I tell you, psychologically speaking, we have eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, as well as knowledge of monash and Araille, which add up to eight senses. Why not play six, eight and seven? Monash is the bottleneck of our good and evil. If you plug this bottleneck and break this place, you won't create bad karma. The so-called seven days, seven days, seven hundred and forty-nine days, one seven, two seven, three seven, four seven, that's just a number. It was Mona who really played seven games. Our sixth sense is separate cognition, and thinking with our own cerebellar melon seeds is separate cognition. A knowledge of monasticism is a bottleneck and a megaphone. Go up and down. Araille's knowledge? It's a black jar. You have done bad karma and good karma, good karma and bad karma, and black beans and red beans have all been put in. Up and down. There is always a choice between doing good things with red beans and doing bad things with black beans. Hit the snake seven inches, just hit that seven inches. With the pure heart of chanting Buddha, I turned over my foolish heart. If it wants to create evil, it succeeds, so it is playing with the seven buddhas.
Therefore, here, the sixth ancestor Huineng, because he is a popular Buddhism, is aimed at people's hearts. In the face of intellectuals, you must not tell him this. Great round mirror wisdom, equal wisdom, wonderful observation wisdom and successful wisdom, he talked about four kinds of wisdom. Then, finally say "5867", in order to turn this bad business into a good business. So I told him the causal relationship from the first knowledge to the eighth knowledge.
But there is no reason to use famous sayings!
Everyone here just assumed a pseudonym. Why pretend to be a pseudonym? I hope you can all draw a conclusion from the fact that I told you. My mouth is talking. Answer me, is it my mouth or my heart? (the public says: the heart is talking. ) So you can't talk without a mouth? Then you will say that my mouth is talking. Then I'll still be here after I die Don't say that. What are you talking about? Play a good role in it, that is, it is effective, and the heart and mouth are synchronized at the same time. Can't be separated, it's the same. The mouth is a mouthpiece. I have no head in my heart and can't say it. Some people know that they are not good at learning human technology because they have no clever observation and wisdom. "jiaozi was cooked in a teapot, but the goods could not be poured out." Many old practices in our temple are like this. He repaired well and realized well, but his mouth couldn't say it. Suddenly say a word and knock people on the south wall. What he said was very reasonable, but when he spoke, the facts changed. Why? The phone is not good. What am I? I am the one who not only has a good loudspeaker, but also a good telephone line and can convey it, that's all. Ann has a pseudonym.
If I didn't have spiritual wisdom in the past, it would be wrong to read Buddhist scriptures according to the text today. Because there is no heartfelt understanding. Therefore, Buddhism is beautiful, but it has a pseudonym and no truth.
"If you turn around mercilessly, prosperity will always be there. When the cause and effect turn, don't go easy on your men. Only by fighting to the death can you survive. Die in the past, come back to life. If the delusional fake I don't die, the real me won't exist. If life experience is used to tell you that a person once thought about death, even once, his face changed greatly after his resurrection. There are many such people around me.
There is no doubt that there is no road and there is another village!
There is a lady who pursues beauty, brand-name clothes and career achievements. In a word, she must be the best in the world. One day, they went to an interview together and overturned. Four of the five people died, and only one was alive and in a coma for four days. No one told her Buddhism, no one told her the truth of life, and she was handsome after she got well. Others compete for fame and gain, and she says I don't want it. I'm dying. Why? She learned her lesson after she died once.
It's even more interesting to have a fellow initiate around me. His room is always in a mess, living everywhere and taking himself seriously. Have a full meal when you meet a good meal, and don't eat if you don't meet a good meal. One day at noon, we all came back with bowls to cook. I said, "Why don't you go to eat?" He said, "I have a stomachache." I said you should be careful and go to see a doctor at once. He said, "Nothing, don't look. After we finished eating, he had a severe pain, which was a gastric perforation, a benign gastric perforation. Then take him to the hospital quickly. Because it was rushed in, the hospital had no beds and could only lie in the corridor of the hospital. I went on a business trip for half a month, and he recovered after I came back. Then his face changed greatly. I cleaned my room and dressed neatly. I said 15 days no see. How did you become someone else? He said you have no idea that hospitals are no place for people. I didn't understand it until I got sick. This life is so precious. He said that I would live a good life in the future, learn from you, clean the floor every day and put the scriptures in order. I dare not wander like this. He said the hospital corridor was bitter.
So this person, his knowledge and his life experience all come from life. What the Buddha said about Buddhism and these words only serve as our bridge and window, giving us an inspiration. Those who can meditate and practice Buddhism must come back from the dead. Never cook raw food, and don't eat food. What is uncooked rice? You said he didn't do merit, he did merit, said he did merit, and his heart was still alive. You said he didn't practice. He really practices. For twenty or thirty years, he was really great. However, the heart is not completely well. What is eating goods? You said he didn't understand Buddhism, but he did. You said he did, but he didn't know much about it. This is called eating goods.
Standing on the top of a high mountain, walking on the deep seabed!
Therefore, whether it is reason or things, we must learn to stand on the top of a high mountain and go deep into the sea!
"Prosperity will always be there." . What do you mean by naga? Leng Yan Dading. When Arhat practices in the forest by the spring, he has a certain concentration, and there is contact when he is focused. Bodhisattva has accumulated virtue from the past, and he is different. It is also in the process of setting and measuring all beings. There is no choice between the world and the world, no gain or loss. All sentient beings who are doomed to have no chance will be taken away by him in a big ship. It must be like ethereal, called Leng Yan Dading. In other words, if you really come back from the dead, you will be in Garda. After entering this decision, it is not tiring to measure all beings. When we ordinary people do things, we will be very tired inside. Because we have a heart of right and wrong and a heart of choice. If we can really be bodhi like a bodhisattva, we won't be tired of getting along with all beings. Of course, there are many ways not to get tired. Some people need our understanding, some people need our forgiveness, some people need our tolerance, some people need our help, some people need our soft advice, and some people need to know more. Sharing the fate with all beings, the bodhisattva is not tired. Guanyin bodhisattva begged for help. There are so many pains and troubles in the world, Guanyin Bodhisattva should not be too tired to vomit blood. Guanyin bodhisattva can't.
Therefore, when we express Buddhism, we use thousands of hands and eyes to express the three bodies, four minds, five eyes and six roots of Guanyin Bodhisattva. He is very capable and considerate, but he has no choice in mind. As for us, because there are countless Qian Qian knots in our hearts, when we do things, our hearts are twisted and pulled. That's because our hearts are not big enough, wide enough, thick enough, without wisdom and means, and we feel very tired.
Life is full of plants and trees!
It stands to reason that we have to have money to make a living. Many people work hard to earn money. In fact, one is lack of intelligence and the other is lack of ability. Because you don't have enough intelligence and ability and have never experienced such practice, you want a lot, but you can't get it, and you feel very tired. There are 900 million farmers in China. Look at this countryman. He is not manic because of his simple appearance and special behavior. That is to say, although his material living standard is very low, his heart doesn't need so much, so he has a very stable heart; People in this city keep up with their neighbors. They look after other people's houses, use good cars and have a lot of money. They compare with their neighbors in their minds, but they can't keep up. The ability to be high and low has pulled out the vacuum in my heart. In this way, you will suffer from mental illness. Actually, it's like fear, anxiety and depression. You can't eat with food and you can't sleep. It's sick, and I don't know it yet. Some people even put their lives in it. Don't get lost, turn around. How capable you are and how many things you can do. What's the use of life, autumn vegetation, if you want more? A hundred hectares of fertile land, but three meals a day; Rich, but three feet in bed.
Because of this, I advise many people that the less greed, the more happiness. This is a short and quick method. You talked a lot of truth, he didn't understand, he didn't understand. Less greed, more happiness. Then if we see through the world, see through the world, and have enough ability not to cling to Buddhism, then we will make a decision in Linga University. In this way, your practice will become the golden lotus of the fire house.
