Buddha said: You are wrong. Dust can't be wiped off. So I stripped my heart.
Buddha said: You are wrong again. Dust is not dust, so there is no dust.
I don't understand. What do you mean?
I think it comes from Shen Xiu and Huineng's two sons.
Shen Xiu said, "As a bodhi tree, my heart is like a mirror. Always wipe, don't get dust. "
Huineng said, "Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror is not a stage. There is nothing, so there is no dust. "
Indeed, it is really difficult to understand these two sons, and even a correct understanding is not easy.
Difficult to understand ...
Being a bodhi tree is like a mirror. Do not rub regularly, so as not to make dust.
The body of all beings is the tree of enlightened wisdom,
The heart of all beings is like a bright stage mirror.
Try to keep brushing,
Don't let it be polluted by dirt, which blocks the nature of light.
Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror is not a stage. There is nothing, so where is the dust?
Bodhi has no trees,
A bright mirror is not a stage.
Nothing, nothing,
What dust will catch it there?
Now I can only understand it literally, but I can't understand it thoroughly!
The heart is clean, and the dust is the heart. If people have no intention of cleaning up, they will die.
I once thought about a question:
People think that a thing is delicious, but in fact, smell accounts for a greater proportion than taste.
Therefore, a creature with a keen sense of smell like a dog is far happier than us in diet.
Is this the right idea? .. if it's wrong .. what?
In fact, the dust is outside, the heart is inside, and the heart is clean and dust-free.
Dust inside, heart outside, often stripped, dust-free and unintentional;
There is dust in the heart, and dust is the heart.
He has no dust, no dust and no intention? As Huineng said, the benevolent is moved.
Another example is Taoism, which says that Tao can be Tao or non-Tao.
Their reasons are the same.
Buddhists pay attention to everything and pursue inner cultivation.
Taoism stresses the pursuit of seclusion.
Buddhism wants to transcend this world, and Taoism practices this world, and the pursuit is a principle of practice.
And the one on the top floor is a kind of detachment.
But not deliberately seeking.
The main idea is in the mind.
When people are in the world, there is no fixed law, and then they know that the law is illegal;
What's going on in the world is unfinished, why not let nature take its course?
