Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror is not a stage. There was nothing, so there was no dust.

This is the enlightenment of Huineng, the sixth ancestor. The heart is not the heart, the thing is not the thing, the heart is higher than the thing, the heart is the heart, the thing is the thing, the heart and the thing are one, and the heart and the thing are one. People in the dust, not dust, but dust in the heart, turned into dust. 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? We don't ask for it deliberately. Everyone is based on the Buddha's nature, focusing on cultivating the mind, not the outside.

If I don't go to hell, who will?

Based on the original wish of the Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva could have become a Buddha, but because there are countless suffering souls in hell, he couldn't bear to leave, so he stayed in the underworld and made a solemn oath. If I don't go to hell, who will? If hell is not empty, I will never become a Buddha. !

Everything is illusory.

This sentence comes from the Diamond Sutra: Everything is illusory; Everything has a way, like a dream, like a bubble, like dew, like electricity.

For love: beautiful love, touching love, are illusory! But illusory love is also the most beautiful! If you are in a dream, you are close at hand, but can't touch it; Distant is always the most beautiful, because it is out of reach and full of imagination, but it is difficult to understand the real beauty. It is located in the dreamland created by human mind. This beauty is worth pursuing all the time. Even if it takes a lifetime to get a heartbreaking ending, I am still looking forward to it.

For life: if people don't cling to all the material fame and fortune in the world, they will not be influenced by material fame and fortune; It is precisely because people pursue these emotional things that they become unhappy. Everything is flowing and nothing will stay forever. Ordinary people care too much about their feelings, because they are in hot water, so remember a Buddhist saying: everything is illusory.

unable to tell

Many things? Words can only be understood? Yes! Many realms of the Buddha need to be understood, cultivated and enlightened by himself. The Buddha should abandon delusion and persistence and enter a state of no thoughts! ? Say? This behavior itself needs a delusion to implement, so it can't be said! The Buddha has so many scriptures and so many quotations that he has to do so in order to educate all living beings. Therefore, Zen emphasizes that it is the truth not to cling to words.

There is a sentence that explains this Buddhist scripture well: some things can be said and not done, some things can be done and not said, and some things can neither be said nor done. Finally, I will send you a passage to let you experience the Nirvana Sutra: You can't say that you are not born, you can't say that you are not born, you can't say that you are not born, you can say that you have a reason, and you can also say that you are not born.

Color is empty, and empty is color.

This sentence comes from? Prajna paramita sutra? What Master Xuanzang translated in the Tang Dynasty is the essence of Zen! The whole sentence is? Color is empty, empty is color, color is empty, empty is color, and it is the same to know. .

Buddha said? Color? Refers to what the eyes see. Everything, this sentence basically expounds the idea that everything is empty. Don't cling to everything. If you are uncomfortable physically and mentally, you can't talk about nothing in the sky. In fact, there is no difference between loving the world and loving empty space. It is also a phenomenon of clinging to everything visible or invisible, and it is an illusion created by people. Color is emptiness, which makes the human body realize the phenomenon of things and think that many sufferings and troubles are illusory. Empty is color, and people can know what goes around comes around because of the commonness and causality of things. The so-called cycle of good and evil is: knowing the cause of the past, the recipient of this life is, knowing the fruit of the future, and the doer of this life is. ? Color is empty, and empty is color? It is the basis of persuading people to do good.

A flower and a world, a leaf and a bodhi.

The original text should be: a flower and a world, a leaf and a Buddha. From Hua Yan Jing: In the past, Buddha touched flowers, Ye Jiaxiao, and then went to bliss. From a flower, he can realize the whole world and ascend to heaven!

Buddha said: a flower is a world, a grass is a day, a leaf is a Buddha, a sand is a blessing, a pure land is a smile and a dust. All this is a state of mind. If the heart has nothing, it can take a flower and a world, and a grass can understand it one day. A flower and a grass are the world, the world is as empty as a flower and there are buddhas everywhere, and all living beings are buddhas.

Looking back 500 times in my last life is only a stroke in my life.

This sentence is not from Buddhist scriptures, but a story told by the Buddha: Only by practicing eternal life can we be in the same boat, and only by practicing eternal life can we sleep together. Looking at the past life for 500 times, I exchanged this life for a brush. An encounter in this life will certainly breed too many sweet or painful memories of the past life. Everything is destiny takes a hand, and it is destiny takes a hand! Accidental meeting, suddenly looking back, doomed each other's lives, just for the moment of looking at each other.

Great sorrow without tears, great enlightenment without words, silent smile.

Great compassion is endless compassion, not emotion, so it can't be described by tears; Enlightenment is the opening of great wisdom, which cannot be expressed in words; Laughter is true happiness, but how can laughter express inner joy? The older you get, the deeper you will understand this sentence.

The sea of misery is boundless, and turning back is the shore. Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha.

This is Buddhism's words to persuade people to turn over a new leaf. Shi Puji's Five Lights Meeting Yuan Volume 53:? Brother Guan is a killer without blinking an eye. Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha? . It is a metaphor that once the wicked realize their crimes and are determined to turn over a new leaf, they can still become good people quickly. Confucianism leads harmony to social ideals, Taoism to the origin of things and Buddhism to the inner world. Buddhism believes that the environment is peaceful from the heart and everything is harmonious.

There is a cloud in Zen Buddhism: if there is no Buddha in the Buddha's heart, where can I ask for Buddha? All beings have Buddha nature.

Life is like a thorn, if the heart does not move, if people do not move, it will not hurt if they do not move; If the heart moves, if people move wildly, it hurts the body and bones, so they realize all kinds of pains in the world.

Life is like being in the jungle of thorns all the time, and there are dangers or temptations everywhere. Only when you don't move your thoughts, can your inner peace make your actions impartial, and you can effectively avoid risks and resist temptations, otherwise you will suffer. When the heart moves, things move, and when the heart is still, things are still. Foolish thoughts are prajnaparamita, while intellectual thoughts are prajnaparamita. With things, things can be things; If things are not things, then things are not things. Things cannot be named, names cannot be real, and names cannot be real. It is because there is no Buddha's word: life without it, death without it.
