The Sixth Patriarch Huineng: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust."
The Buddha said to me: There is something in your heart dust. I wiped hard.
Buddha said: You are wrong, dust cannot be wiped off. So I peeled off my heart.
The Buddha said again: You are wrong again. Dust is not dust at all. How can there be dust?
What does it mean that I can't understand it clearly?
I think this is derived from the two gathas Shenxiu and Huineng.
Shenxiu said: "The body is a Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror. I must brush it diligently at all times to prevent it from causing dust."
Huineng said: "There is no Bodhi tree, and neither is the mirror." The platform is originally nothing, so how can it cause dust?”
Indeed, it is indeed difficult to understand these two gathas, and it is not easy to understand them correctly.
Enlightenment is impenetrable...
The body is like a bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror stand. Brushing it diligently at all times to prevent it from causing dust
The body of all living beings is A tree of enlightened wisdom,
the hearts of all living beings are like a bright mirror.
It must be brushed and wiped constantly to prevent it from being polluted by dirt and obscuring its bright nature.
Bodhi has no trees, and the bright mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the beginning, so where can it cause dust?
Bodhi has no trees in the first place,
There is no bright mirror. It's not Taiwan.
It was originally nothingness and nothing,
What kind of dust would be tainted there?
Now we can only understand it literally, and it’s hard to understand!
The heart is essentially dust-free, and dust is the heart. If there is no intention and no dust, people will die.
I once thought about a question:
When people think something is delicious, in fact the sense of smell accounts for a greater proportion than the sense of taste
So the sense of smell like a dog Sensitive creatures are far happier than us in terms of food
Is this idea correct? If it is wrong...where is the mistake?
In fact, the world is outside, but the heart is inside , always brush it away, the heart will be pure and dust-free;
The dust is inside, the heart is outside, always peel it off, there will be no dust and no heart;
There is dust in the heart, and the dust is the heart,
p>
Why fear the dust in the heart, which is dust-free and has no heart? Just as Huineng said, the heart of a benevolent person is moved
And as the Taoists say, Tao can be Tao but not Tao
Their principles It’s the same
Buddhism emphasizes that all things are in the heart and pursues cultivating the world
Taoism emphasizes being carefree and pursuing escapism
Buddhism wants to transcend this world, while Taoism cultivates this world. But investigating its principles is a kind of practice
But it is not a deliberate pursuit
The main idea is in the heart
In the world, there is no fixed law, and then you know the law. Also;
The world's affairs are still unfinished, so why not let them go?
