Taoist questions, how to realize the Tao, how to realize the Tao?

1. How does an ordinary person become a Buddha?

The Heart Sutra says, "Three Buddhas. According to Prajna paramita, there are many reasons. I have achieved the three virtues. " Prajna Paramita translates wisdom to the other side. "Aunt Dorothy has three benefits and three bodhis", which means that there is no equal consciousness, the awakened one is knowledgeable and wise, and the supreme true wisdom of all Buddhas is equal. Therefore, enlightenment is becoming a Buddha. The past, present and future buddhas are all made by wisdom.

All beings fall into samsara because of ignorance, that is, they have no wisdom, are confused by ignorance, and flow from life to death; The bright light of wisdom can break through ignorance and darkness, sweep away troubles and obstacles of knowledge, achieve the wisdom and wisdom of Buddha, know all the realms that should be known, and realize it completely and freely. Therefore, Prajna Paramita can give birth to many Buddhas, which is the foundation of all good laws, so it is honored as the "mother of all Buddhas".

Second, why can wisdom remove two obstacles?

The second obstacle, from the beginning, is that ordinary people have reversed their attachment and have two selves. Ordinary people who cling to reality (subjective spiritual world, desirable) have all kinds of troubles for me, which can prevent all beings from getting rid of nirvana, which is called trouble barrier; Ordinary people cling to the reality of law (the objective material world, what they take) and make various differences in the environment, which can prevent all living beings from witnessing what they should know. This is the so-called obstacle to knowledge.

Where is the second obstacle? From the beginning, ordinary people cling to the ego by reversing delusions, and at the same time, they also leave an impression habit in the subconscious, that is, they have influenced the seeds of two obstacles in Araya's knowledge. Therefore, although we know that there is no ego today, there is still a continuous accumulation of ego seeds in Araya's knowledge due to the deep habit of reversing delusions. This part of the existing seed, which was born due to the maturity of karma, did not exist after appearing as a survivor. However, when we face these existing ones, we use our own hands to deal with them and fumigate them into new ones. Therefore, our two obstacles are endless.

How to deal with these polluted seeds? This depends on the truth that there is no ego to listen to and practice Buddhism, which can be cultivated into the purest seed to follow the Buddha's Buddhism, and can play three roles: first, understanding the truth of there is no ego can reduce the degree of self-adherence, gradually change the habit of self-adherence, make the listening, thinking and practice of there is no ego proficient, and reach the realm of real self-knowledge, thus breaking the road of self-adherence of the new smoke. Second, when there is no self-principle, whenever I change my habits everywhere, there will be clean seeds smoked into Araya's knowledge, which will govern my clean seeds and hinder the smooth polymerization of my seeds and the current situation. The number and proportion of clean seeds pumped into Alaye Knowledge are increasing gradually, which will make it impossible for some polluting industries to gather to produce all the polluted seeds needed at present. As long as one of the many reasons is not aggregated, the seeds of this polluting industry cannot be produced at present. In this way, it is more and more difficult to aggregate all kinds of bad karma, which will make the possibility of many bad karma smaller and smaller, and finally it is impossible to aggregate the karma. Third, the listening and reading of practicing Buddhism is more and more powerful to purify seeds, and the cause of practicing purity and no leakage is easier to mature. As a result of listening diligently, thinking rationally and practicing the purity of Buddhism every day, a person's thoughts and actions are closer to the realm of Buddha and Bodhisattva, and it is easier to correspond with Buddha and Bodhisattva, and it is easier to get the care and blessing of all Buddhists and Bodhisattvas, and he can often see Buddha and get pure land.

When the proportion of clean seeds in Araya's knowledge is getting bigger and bigger, which can reach a small part, it is impossible for polluted seeds to gather together because of its obstacles, that is to say, it is time for the process of dyeing clean to undergo qualitative change, and this is the way of seeing. At this point, the current pollution was interrupted by the inability to arise, and all the dreams that ordinary people saw and felt disappeared, which was the emptiness proved by the sage's indifference; Then, after the pure seed is born, there is no difference in wisdom, and the world is just as it is. If we realize the amount of goodness to prove all the realms, the ordinary person finally wakes up in the long dream of life and death, and he sees what is true for the first time from the beginning. Now ordinary people's inconceivability is as real as the realm, and they have personally proved it clearly, and their hearts are full of unprecedented joy. This is called Deng Ji's joy, which is the beginning of Bodhisattva. This scene is like waking up from a dream. When you are awake, all the illusions in your dream disappear. When you wake up, you see the true face of the dream. Just a bunch of delusions in your heart. Finally, you understand that Buddha's words are idealistic in the three realms, and all dharma are not empty words. You have no heart and are happy. From then on, he was born as a Tathagata, and he became a real Buddha. He can enter the Buddhist Dharma Association. According to the Buddha, he pointed out that among the ten places, the rest of the seeds were polluted. When all the seeds were dyed clean, the eight senses could be transferred to the Buddha's four wisdom, and the whole process of practicing Buddhism was completed.

If the process of transforming knowledge into wisdom is subdivided, seeing Tao is the first step of transforming knowledge into wisdom. At this time, the sixth knowledge, the root of delusion, turned into wonderful observation wisdom, and the seventh knowledge, the root of self-persistence, turned into equal wisdom. At this time, the status quo of contaminated seeds can be subdued. Then, in ten bodhisattvas in the temple, the seeds left in the temple are polluted. When the Buddhist soil is completed, it is the completion of pure practice, that is, the second step is to turn knowledge into wisdom, and the first five effects into wisdom. At this point, ordinary people's eight senses have all turned into Buddha's four wisdom.

Third, what is wisdom without difference?

The wisdom of saints is called undifferentiated wisdom, which can be conveniently divided into three types: there is no undifferentiated wisdom after practice and there is no undifferentiated wisdom at all. There is no difference in the wisdom of practice, which is cultivated by Bodhisattva in practice. There is no difference between wisdom in practice and wisdom in practice. If there is no difference in practice, wisdom will be used. There is no difference in wisdom, nothing is the difference of ordinary people, there is the wisdom of saints born, and then there is the difference of saints, such as the difference of understanding, which is completely different from the difference of consciousness of ordinary people. We can't use the analogy of our ordinary people's thinking, so the wisdom without difference is neither indiscriminate nor empty. The wisdom of these two sages can only be proved, and ordinary people can't believe it. Therefore, the focus of our discussion should be how to prove the wisdom of the two sages, that is, relying on the practice of Tibetan Bodhisattva. This kind of wisdom is the transition from ordinary wisdom to sage wisdom, and it is the wisdom that guides ordinary people to prove emptiness.

Why is it called "adding branches does not distinguish wisdom" Is to cultivate our ordinary people's individual minds into undifferentiated wisdom. This is the sprint stage before watching the road, just like the last few meters before hitting the line in a game. All the previous accumulation is for this final success, just like training for 1000 days. Today, you finally got serious on the battlefield, and see if your usual training can really work. First of all, it must be clear that this kind of practice is to practice with the differences and consciousness of ordinary people, who have no other tools to practice. Because the capital of ordinary people is only his mind, without which there is no ordinary people. What is the separation from ordinary people? You can do it without thinking. Four Zen and eight Zen only gradually broke away from seeking service, but they still didn't break away from subtle consciousness. If you want to reach the top of the three realms, you don't want to think, but you don't want to think. In fact, it's just that the first six senses can't bear it for a while, and the seventh and eighth senses keep moving as usual. Accurately speaking, the eighth knowledge is called the heart, the seventh knowledge is called the heart, and the first six knowledge is called the heart. The real escape from the seventh dirty meaning is that when the evidence reaches the first place, the seventh knowledge becomes the equal wisdom, which is called the last seventh knowledge to leave the ordinary people. At the same time, the sixth consciousness is transformed into wonderful observation wisdom. This is called "67 due to the turn, 58 fruit round." Eight knowledge and the first five knowledge will be transformed into great circle wisdom after becoming a Buddha. Therefore, if they really want to be sincere, they must go to the Buddhist land.

However, it is a heretical practice to temporarily stop the activities of the first six senses, because they believe that the reason for the reincarnation of ordinary people is the difference in consciousness, so they mistakenly think that breaking the difference will lead to nirvana. Buddhism believes that the reason for the reincarnation of life and death is self-attachment, and it is necessary to get rid of self-attachment to get rid of it. To break self-dependence, we need to learn the right view of the self repeatedly. Right view is right and wrong, so mistakes and differences must be cured by right and wrong, not by stopping all differences. If you can't distinguish, people are like stones and rotten wood, and they have no ability to practice at all.

Ordinary people's conversion to holiness depends on the wisdom gained from Si Wen's practice of Buddhism, while Si Wen's practice of wisdom depends on the sixth consciousness, and I have to treat my Jaken by the non-ego of the sixth consciousness, because my Jaken is persistent from the sixth consciousness, so I have to tie the bell. What is wisdom? Is to be able to choose the right method. Only the sixth of the eight senses can accomplish this task. If you stop the activities of the sixth consciousness, you can't cultivate wisdom, so it has nothing to do with the practice of Buddhism except sending me, and becomes the practice of heretics. If you don't think about it, you will get the result of the world's 500 major disasters without thinking. The first six of the 500 disasters were unrecognizable. Because you can't smell it or think about it, the Buddha lists it as one of the "eight difficulties" with hell, hungry ghosts, sideline, blind silence, worldly wisdom and buddhas before and after, which is called longevity. This is a trap and disaster that Buddhist practice must avoid.

……

Therefore, to train ordinary people's differentiated knowledge into saints' undifferentiated wisdom, we need to rely on correct differences such as Buddhism and Buddhism. We should practice Buddhism repeatedly, abandon all Jaken held by ignorance, and resolve all doubts caused by ordinary people's upside-down mistakes, so that there will be no doubts and troubles in our hearts, and there is no need to say goodbye. This is called adding wisdom without dividing. For example, we thought there was me. Now, after studying Buddhism, I understand that there is no reason for me at all, and I have also clarified my doubts. We no longer have the slightest hesitation and vacillation. On the question of whether there is me or not, we can always judge whether there is me or not indiscriminately, so there is no need to make any distinction at all. This is the state where there is no difference between Canada and Canada. This difference, translated by Master Xuanzang as "Happy Foot", means that you understand this problem in your heart, have no doubts and troubles, and are very happy and satisfied. If you are no longer disturbed by it, you don't have to be separated. Han Lao's translation into "hold a conclusion" in Tibetan makes no difference, that is, once you have a certain understanding of the problem, the problem will be solved and there is no need to distinguish it.

So the real practice is to use Buddhism to solve the doubts and troubles caused by your ignorance, such as whether the world is impermanent, bitter and dirty, or always happy and clean? I understood it one by one, and I didn't doubt it, so that I finally realized clearly that all the knowledge and awareness of ordinary people are just a kind of distinction. Therefore, the Buddha said that everything is just knowledge, and all the differences are just inverted delusions. The Buddha said that everything was carried out as planned, that is, there was nothing wrong with it. Of course, this doesn't mean that even if I understand this truth, I must be really clear, thoroughly understood, clear and clear, without doubt, without external environment that can disturb it, without any confusion or any argument that can be shaken. This is called winning the solution, and this is the realm that really does not need to be separated. When this last idea of winning the solution was abandoned, it was the same moment before. Therefore, to achieve undifferentiated wisdom, we should not rely on undifferentiated wisdom, but on the difference of correct reason, in order to approach and finally prove the undifferentiated wisdom of saints.

Fourth, realize the Tao by thinking and cultivating wisdom.

How did the bodhisattva before the earth turn the wisdom of ordinary people into the wisdom of saints indiscriminately? It takes three methods to cultivate three kinds of wisdom. According to the different stages and methods of practice, the wisdom before the earth can be divided into three types: wisdom from hearing, wisdom from thinking and wisdom from practice.

Wisdom comes from listening to Buddhism, and its object of thinking is language and words, with the purpose of understanding its meaning, that is, the truth contained in words and the meaning expressed. This is called "fate".

Practice is the wisdom formed by observing in the middle, and the object of observation is the truth and meaning of language and writing. The purpose is to integrate them with the emptiness of self-centeredness, connect them and gather them together. Finally, when we realize that there is no need to separate from each other, we can personally prove the theory of emptiness in which there is no difference in wisdom, that is, to look at the Taoist position in an empirical way. This is the so-called concept of law and justice.

Thinking about wisdom is the transition between what you hear and what you do, and it is the wisdom that you think about correctly. The object of thinking is words and truth. The purpose is to connect the truths that Cheng Hui has heard with each other, and then continue to deepen according to the words that express deeper truths, or understand deeper meanings according to the words he has heard before, and then connect with the deeper truths that he will understand, and gradually connect with the core of Buddhism. If you think about it repeatedly, you can completely break away from the language, which belongs to Cheng Hui's pure fatalism.

Listening to Buddhism and Taoism is the way to gain wisdom, so we need to listen to and understand Buddhism correctly first. The core of Buddhism is "all laws have no ego", which truly understands the truth that all laws have no ego, that is, the emptiness shown by two non-egos. Empty is empty without self. What is self? It is ego, human, law and me. I am the self, and the self is me. Without me, all laws have no self. What is me or myself? It is something that we are persistent in "being independent and unchanging". There was no such thing in the world, but we ordinary people turned it upside down from the beginning. There must be such a thing. For example, we think that someone can take me away from the inside and take me away from the outside, so we are confused and fall into reincarnation. If we get rid of this delusion of clinging to the ego, we won't go to work again, and the emptiness will naturally appear without me. Emptiness can only be proved, and inconceivable is the truth of non-ego, so as long as the inconceivable second self is empty and the second barrier is removed, the inconceivable emptiness will naturally appear. Because emptiness is like this, there is no birth and death, no increase or decrease. It's just that ordinary people can't see it because of their own obstacles. So, we did our best, and emptiness naturally appeared.

Repeated listening and thinking about Buddhism can smoke into clean seeds, cure my troubles, and get rid of some. But you can't prove emptiness just by hearing what you have learned. Why? Because the object of intelligent thinking is language, the scope of language generalization is small and the power is weak, while the scope of "meaning" contained in the text is large, so you need to say a lot to make it clear, and this truth can be thought of in an instant in your mind. For example, when someone tells a joke, everyone suddenly laughs, which means that after listening to this person for a long time, it is only a moment to understand the truth (meaning) contained in these words.

In this way, the scope of thinking with meaning is much larger than that with language, so it is much more powerful and effective. Therefore, after understanding the truth of Buddhism, it is necessary to practice and integrate these truths. This is the stage of crossing thinking between words and meaning, that is, the stage of practicing thinking and becoming wise. Linking the various truths that have been understood many times can be integrated into some deeper, higher and more universal truths. This kind of "righteousness" has a wider scope and more contents, which makes people's thinking more and more concise, but its power is getting bigger and bigger. This is the refining process from the more you hear to the more refined, just like the summary and general learning stage that Bo Ping said.

Intellectual thinking is more powerful and effective in dealing with troubles and purifying seeds, but it is not easy to prove emptiness in intellectual thinking stage. Why? Because thinking becomes wisdom because of distraction, the power of distraction is still weak, the power of centering is much stronger, and the role of spiritual power is great. Therefore, if we observe the truth of thinking Buddhism in meditation, especially when we reach the pure concept of "righteousness" which is divorced from the concept of speech, we can gradually integrate all the truth with the meaning of selflessness and form a highly summarized and concise point of view, then we can enter the industry. In the position of adding a line, the highly generalized concept (that is, Four True Wisdom was observed by four thoughts in the only knowledge) summarized everything as the most basic difference between "what can be" and "what can be", and then emptied what was taken. When only the last thought that can be taken away is broken, it is the moment before emptiness.

Compassionate Bodhisattva once asked Sakyamuni Buddha how to make a general view of Buddhism. The Buddha replied, "If all bodhisattvas are related to all Buddhist scriptures, and so on. It is meaningful to set it as a group, a product and a party once a minute, but all this is true. Interested in the truth, like to be close to it. Follow bodhi, follow nirvana. Follow the wind and turn to the other side. If you enter the other side's law. Numerous good laws have been declared. If you think about it, you should cultivate luxury goods, Motta, Pi Bo and Ash. This is the name of all laws. "This is the final view of the truth.

Five, Si Wen Xiu Hui's practice method

Let's take a look at what Maitreya said in Ode to Frontier fortress. The following theory is the explanation of Buddha.

"On the yue. The intention is right and different. Song Yue

Three Wisdom and Constant Thinking of Mahayana Bodhisattva

Try your best to make a masterpiece.

On yue. If all bodhisattvas learn wisdom by listening and thinking. Counting means nothing but Mahayana. According to the law of giving. If so, it's called doing whatever you want. What merits do these bodhisattvas have in thinking about Mahayana with three wonderful wisdom? Song Yue

This growth is good, good, just and successful.

On yue. What you hear becomes a Mahayana of wisdom and thought. Can make the world of good roots grow. Think into wisdom, think Mahayana. Be aware of the true meaning of what you hear. Meditation becomes the Mahayana of wisdom and thought. Can enrich the career you want. It is said that repairing land can be very interesting. If you are doing what you want, how can I help you? Song Yue

This assistant should know that there are ten ways.

On yue. You should know that this is the right thing to do. Taken during the ten-law trip. What are the ten methods? Song Yue

"Writing provides support for others to listen and read."

Be supported, be performed, be sarcastic, and think.

On yue. There are ten Mahayana lines here. An article. Second, support. Give him three times. If he reads and listens carefully. Five, read by yourself. 6. Support. Seventh, it opened up literary significance for him. Eight satirical recitations. Nine ideas. Ten practice lines. "

To do the right thing is to multiply the meaning with the thinking of the three wise men, to be interested in the place of practice, to see the Tao and to realize the place of practice. Among them, "what you hear is wisdom, and you think Mahayana." The "boundary" that can make the good root world grow is meaning, which refers to seeds. In other words, more exposure to Buddhism can increase good seeds, that is, clean seeds mentioned above.

If you are doing the right thing, what exactly do you need to do? It is the ten laws. Sakyamuni Buddha told Ananda when he started the Ten Dharma Lines in the Sutra of Prajna Paramita Winning the King that these Ten Dharma Lines could be supported by this Prajna Paramita repairing dorota, "Ananda. Like the earth. All trees are born with anthers. All good dharmas are born according to Prajna Paramita. Ananda. For example, if the holy king of wheels often appears in the world. So is Prajna paramita. If this repair is more on earth. Then the three treasures will be extinct forever. "

To sum up, the top ten Buddhist practices are: first, we should learn Buddhism and think about Buddhism; second, we should practice Buddhism. Si Wenxiu's theory of Confucian classics is correct, but the method must be supplemented by stopping observation, which has three functions. First, in the learning stage of attending classes, review can make the body and mind smooth and clear-headed, which is of great help to attending classes, thinking and discussing classics. Second, in the stage of thinking into wisdom, when you sit still, your mind is concentrated, and many puzzling problems are solved when you are distracted, or places that you can't think of at ordinary times are easy to understand. Third, in the stage of cultivating wisdom, we must always practice the concept of righteousness in order to finally become familiar with Tao. The tenth of the ten laws refers to the practice of law and meaning in the middle of the course. So after talking for a long time, the practice method is actually very simple, that is, read the Bible and stop observing.
