1. Countless sentient beings can be annihilated in this way, but in fact no sentient beings can be annihilated. ——"Diamond Sutra"

Nan Huaijin: Buddhism has saved countless sentient beings. In my heart, I do not say that I will save any particular sentient being. There is absolutely no such concept.

2. If a Bodhisattva has the appearance of a self, a person, a sentient being, or a person of longevity, then he is not a Bodhisattva. ——"Diamond Sutra"

Nan Huaijin: A person who studies the Mahayana Bodhisattva way still has you, me, and him in his heart. When he even gives others benefits, this guy should sell my friendship. ! This is the way of worldly law. There is no Buddhist law. Just give it if you give it. You should forget it like "things are like a spring dream without a trace."

3. A Bodhisattva should live in giving without dwelling on the Dharma. It is said that giving should not dwell on form, and should give without ceasing on the sound, fragrance, and touch of the Dharma. ——"Diamond Sutra"

Nan Huaijin: It tells us not to give based on the appearance of form, and not to have the concept of an object. For example, if you want to do some meritorious deeds, give some money, or help a person, and then say that you have helped a certain person, that is a kind of charity.

4. You cannot see the Tathagata through your body. ——"Diamond Sutra"

Nan Huaijin: Buddha cannot be seen in form. It would be wrong to see Buddha in form.

5. All appearances are false. If you see that all forms are non-identical, you will see the Tathagata. ——"Diamond Sutra"

Nan Huaijin: Whatever realm you have is false; whatever you can cultivate will be gone if you don't cultivate. If you see all appearances and non-appearances, you have seen the Buddha and the Buddha's Dharma body.

6. The law should not be used, and the illegal should not be used. ——"Diamond Sutra"

Nan Huaijin: It is not right for you to talk about emptiness, which is not the Dharma. It is not the Dharma to cling to existence, it is not right to be neither empty nor existence, and it is not the Dharma to be both emptiness and existence.

7. The law should be given up, let alone illegal. ——"Diamond Sutra"

Nan Huaijin: In the end, all true Buddhism will be thrown away like a boat crossing a river. What’s more, everything is not the Dharma!

8. There is no fixed method, the Tathagata can say it. ——"Diamond Sutra"

Nan Huaijin: Where is the Dharma? It’s not necessarily in the Buddhist scriptures! All dharma in the world is Buddhism...so don’t separate the spirit and life of learning Buddhism from real life.

9. What the Tathagata says is undesirable, unspeakable, illegal, and non-illegal. ——"Diamond Sutra"

Nan Huaijin: Tathagata said, you can't catch it either! If you listen to what he said and think this is right, then you have been deceived by yourself... What can be said and expressed is no longer it.

10. All sages are differentiated by the inaction. ——"Diamond Sutra"

Nan Huaijin: This is the spirit of Buddhism. Unlike other religions, it denies religions other than itself. Buddhism recognizes all religions and all masters, even to the Huayan realm. , even all the demon kings and evil kings are right.

11. The so-called Buddhism is not Buddhism. ——"Diamond Sutra"

Nan Huaijin: A true Buddha does not consider himself a Buddha, and a true saint does not consider himself a saint, so the true Buddha Dharma is not the Buddha Dharma. If you have the concept of Buddhism, you are already attached to it. To put it nicely, it sounds like you are attached to it; if not, it sounds like you are possessed by demons.

12. A pure mind should be born in this way. A mind should not live in color, a mind should not live in sounds, fragrances, touches, and laws. A mind should be born in nothing. ——"Diamond Sutra"

Nan Huaijin: A truly pure heart does not have a light or a realm, but does not dwell on color, sounds, fragrances, and the Dharma. He said that true practice should be about nothing. Stay and give birth to your heart. You should be calm and at ease wherever and whenever you want. Things should come as they come, and the past should not be left behind.

13. The Tathagata says that the world is not the world, but the world. ——"Diamond Sutra"

Nan Huaijin: Buddha tells you that in this world, dust by dust, dust by dust, molecule by molecule, combined together, constitute a physical world. You have smashed the geophysical world to pieces and analyzed it. It is originally empty and has no world.

14. If one is separated from all appearances, he is called Buddha. ——"Diamond Sutra"

Nan Huaijin: The Buddha is the one who is separated from all appearances. This is the real Buddha.

15. If the mind is abiding, it is non-dwelling. ——"Diamond Sutra"

Nan Huaijin: If the mind is abiding, you can train your consciousness to be single-minded, and you can be more peaceful. However, if you think this has a form...so if the mind is abiding, it is non-dwelling. This is It is the best way to observe the mind.

16. The Tathagata says that all phases are right and wrong. He also said that all sentient beings are not sentient beings.
