What is the realm of enlightened people

What is the realm of enlightened people? In daily life, enlightened people have their own understanding, and those who can be enlightened are generally not ordinary people. Such people have their own ideas. The following is to share with you the relevant content of what realm the enlightened person is. What is the realm of an enlightened person? 1

It is reasonable to have an epiphany, and things must be gradually removed.

Enlightenment is not cultivation, let alone enlightenment. Enlightenment is just to understand "reason"; The practice of breaking troubles and proving Bodhi is the "thing". "You can have an epiphany, but things must be gradually removed." Therefore, it is wrong to say that the enlightened Zen virtue has become a Buddha. Enlightenment has not become a Buddha, and you still need to learn after you have a clear mind. If you can't read, start with philology.

For example, although Master Liu Zu was able to see clearly, he had to be read by others because he could not read. It can also be seen that reason can be enlightened, and things need to be repaired gradually. On the other hand, we know that Sakyamuni Buddha only taught Maitreya Buddha, but not others, so we can also know that seeing nature clearly is not the same as becoming a Buddha. Enlightenment is only understanding, and to become a Buddha requires the merits of practice.

When you meditate, you should know that you are no different from the Buddha's heart. This "understanding" is not cultivated, but proved. But we who study the doctrine have to go through 1 thousand robberies when we are full of faith.

The 1,-year-old disaster is a long time-the life span of a person increases by one year every 1 years from ten years to 84, years, and decreases by one year every 1 years from 84, years to ten years. Such an increase and decrease is a small disaster. A thousand small robberies constitute a middle robbery, and a thousand middle robberies constitute a big robbery.

to become a Buddha, you need to be robbed by three great monks. Enlightened people are only equivalent to achieving the first great robbery, and then they have to repair the cause of benefiting all beings. Bodhisattvas should seek from the five civilizations, and bodhisattvas should learn medical prescriptions and skills.

The Zen doctrine that you can become a Buddha with a clear mind and be no different from the Buddha is a "vegetarian dharma body" in terms of doctrine. Therefore, although our body and nature are equal to those of the Buddhas, the so-called Zen Buddhism can not be compared with the merits of the Buddhas. The Buddha has the merit of benefiting all beings, and the achievement of understanding the nature is only the heart, not the merit of benefiting all beings.

A scholar recites the scriptures and laughs the old monk to death

Therefore, don't misunderstand when reciting the scriptures. When I was in Nanputuo, an old professor came to Nanputuo and saw the Hokkekyo scripture on the wall, "If people are distracted and enter the pagoda temple, it is said that there is no Buddha in the south, and it has become a Buddhism", so he made a suggestion: "The slogan on the wall is wrong. I cross my hands and kowtow every day, but it's not just a single crossing of my hands and a small bow. But why haven't you become a Buddha yet? " This is the scholar chanting scriptures and laughing the old monk to death.

I told him, "This is a misunderstanding of the scripture. Anyone who crosses his hands and bows his head is the cause of becoming a Buddha. Only on this basis can we practice and become a Buddha. Therefore, the decision to become a Buddha is not now, but on the basis of the reasons for becoming a Buddha, it can be realized after a long period of practice. "

"Hokkekyo" teaches all sentient beings. This is the correct understanding of meditation. More generally speaking, Zen is life, and life is guided by heart.

Zen has a wide range. In disguise, Zen is Buddha, and Buddha is Zen. As we said before, Zen is a very simple enlightenment, which means that everyone has the same Buddha nature as Buddha and everyone can become a Buddha. Just like everyone has the right to study at Fudan University, but whether you can enter depends on your own efforts and struggles.

For the goal of becoming a Buddha, not only people, but even an ant has Buddha nature. In Buddha's view, human nature, animal nature and sentient beings can all achieve Buddha's nature. As we know, "Buddha" is a transliteration of Indian Sanskrit Buddha. After Buddhism spread to China, China people gradually omitted the Buddha as "Buddha".

the meaning of the Buddha is awareness, consciousness and wisdom. And this kind of consciousness is not limited to oneself, but also can make others realize. One evil thought has been extinguished, and the body, mouth and mind have three good things to achieve. Therefore, Buddhism is the way to achieve goodness, consciousness and wisdom.

If you are mindful in your life, you will achieve Buddhism and Taoism. And Zen is to make us miss it in our lives, so Zen covers a wide range. For example, the word "choosing a Buddhist field" is hung in front of the meditation hall, which is to let people know the nature of Zen and reach Buddhism.

the heart in "seeing the nature with a clear mind" is not the heart in our body. This heart has a wide range, and everything expressed in words, such as the three thousand worlds, the western paradise and so on, is in the heart. This mind, this body, or the "awareness" often said in the scriptures is equal to the mind achieved by the Buddha.

Only this is the difference between ordinary people and Buddha. And the heart we are using now is not this "sincerity", but delusion. This delusion is that the seventh knowledge is attached to the last knowledge, while the seventh knowledge is attached to the eighth knowledge, Alaye knowledge. One is sincere, the other is false, and false heart is the shadow of sincerity.

"Seeing nature clearly" has reached "ten faiths" in the doctrine. At this time, if you have enough confidence, you will not have evil thoughts again and recreate bad karma. After the achievement of ten letters, I entered the "first residence" and lived in my heart. The difference between people who take part in meditation and those who just study teachings lies in the fact that those who take part in meditation can reach the goal of understanding.

This is exactly what the Zen Hall preaches. However, those who study the teachings alone are far away from here, and have not even entered the ten residences, not to mention the ten lines, ten directions, ten places, equal senses and wonderful senses mentioned in Huayan.

The evidence is that the Bodhisattva, who first lived in China, has a great spirit of bodhicitta, and can show up in one hundred worlds as a Buddha and a great bodhisattva to transform all beings. With this magical power, it shows that you have really entered the residence, and the bodhisattva who has a heart to live becomes enlightenment when she first becomes conscious.

And we often talk about bodhicitta, but all we do is "happy heart". Sincerity and trust in Buddhism is not true bodhicitta.

The "enlightened person" we usually call is just not to recreate bad karma, and to understand that one's mind is no different from Buddha's. But after reaching enlightenment, you need to continue to practice. Enlightened people don't even have the magical power to live in a bodhisattva, let alone a hundred worlds, even in this world, they can't show that the Buddha is a sentient being.

It's like a step-by-step education from primary school, middle school, high school and finally to university. Every step is to prepare for the next step. The practice in Buddhism is also the same. One person can't jump, which is by no means what Zen said: "Going straight to the point and proving Bodhi".

this Buddha can only be said to have a clear mind and a clear mind. Different from Sakyamuni's enlightenment under the bodhi tree, Sakyamuni's enlightenment was achieved only after the practice of three monks.

Just as a child prodigy is not worse than a college student who has undergone a series of education in wisdom, he has no idea about the step-by-step process of education. Therefore, even if it is "going straight to the point and proving Bodhi", it is only at this time that the wisdom of secular practice can be revealed.

there is no cheap method in Buddhism. The dragon girl becomes a Buddha, and the rich boy becomes a Buddha, all of which are the results of infinite robbery to practice. Therefore, it's a gradual change from sudden to sudden.

Not only is it not cheap to practice Buddhism, but it is also not cheap to pick up in life. Some people suddenly get rich, and some people suddenly fall into difficulties, which are the karma of past lives and past lives.

It's the same in learning. Some people are quick to learn, while others are so stupid that they don't know how to learn. People who can learn at once can have today's "meal" because of the wisdom accumulated in the past. For those who study Buddhism, we can't be greedy for cheap.

Zen meditation depends on oneself, while Buddha recitation depends on others.

Zen meditation depends on oneself, while Buddha recitation depends on others. By visualizing and naming Amitabha or Guanyin Bodhisattva, you will get their blessing. The popular method of chanting Buddha is this kind of practice relying on other forces.

Zen meditation, on the other hand, is completely different. Taoist friends who participate in Zen meditation will say that "the Buddha comes to the Buddha to chop, and the devil comes to chop", which is completely independent. People who read Buddha are completely different, asking to see Buddha and relying on the merits of Buddha and Bodhisattva. Only by chanting Buddha and observing Buddha can we get the blessing of Buddha. We must make clear the difference between the two.

In life, if there is karma with Buddhism in previous lives, such as studying Buddhism and believing in Buddhism, you will be more excited when you meet Buddhism in this life, and you will be more involved in Buddhism.

without this karma, there would not be such enthusiasm and devotion. There are 6 billion people on the earth now, and there are many people who believe in Buddhism, but not many people really put in.

I'm not afraid of you being paranoid when I say this. Although everyone here has heard of Buddhism, they have not devoted themselves to it. Will you pay a lot for Buddhism? How can you get it without paying! Faith can only get the merits of faith, and more pay can get more merits.

This is in no way contrary to the blessing of chanting Buddha. Being blessed by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in this life is a good karma in previous lives and even in the past. Because of this karma, we can be deeply touched when we hear Buddhism in this life, and we have a feeling of trembling when we begin to believe in Buddhism.

The reason for the feeling of trembling lies in the deep roots of goodness, which have been divorced from Buddhism for too long and suddenly gained blessing. And some people feel like it when they hear the Buddha's name, but they don't have excited feelings or pay.

Sometimes we burn incense in the temple, but we should know that burning incense is a custom rather than a belief. Beliefs and habits are different. True faith is to closely link Buddhism with life. This is back to Zen.

I interpret Zen as a good cause, a good cause since the infinite robbery in the past. This is why when you see the Buddha, you will have a happy heart and you will be able to enter the meditation. For example, "Who is the Buddhist?" Conversely, "Who is chanting Buddha?" What does this question mean? This is to invent our mind and find our noumenon. Our bodies are changeable, impermanent, and transformed by the karma created in previous lives.

Some students have won the first place, and some have fallen first. It is impossible for all students to be the first, and it is impossible for all students to be the first. There must be an orderly ranking order.

if you want to surpass it, you must make efforts. The greater the effort, the more you surpass it. The same is true of us who study Buddhism, and we must go beyond it step by step. What is the realm of an enlightened person? 2

A truly enlightened person will have these three characteristics.

Feature 1: An enlightened person will lead a simple life.

first of all, we should make it clear that enlightened people will not become immortals immediately or become buddhas on their own. So they are not much different from ordinary people in appearance. But in their state of mind, there is still a big difference between them and ordinary people. After enlightenment, people put down all their obsessions and are no longer restricted. For them, there is nothing to do and nothing to do.

In other words, everything in the world, such as promotion and salary increase, falling in love and getting married, giving birth to a baby and providing for the elderly, are all unnecessary options for enlightened people. As long as they are willing, they will do it. As long as they are unwilling, no one can force them. But whether they like it or not, they don't really care, and they can always let go of the "life events" in the hearts of these ordinary people.

this characteristic is the basic characteristic of an enlightened person. Let go of the obsessed enlightened people, and their lives will become simpler. Because they lose their desires, nothing can be their stumbling block, so they will live as themselves, not as "I" shaped by society and others.

He doesn't need to be a "successful person" or a "good husband", "good wife", "good children" and "good parents". He won't care about other people's opinions. Once you break through this tight string, you will naturally be enlightened!

characteristic 2: an enlightened person will be integrated with body and mind.

people who are not enlightened will be troubled by all kinds of thoughts in their hearts. Office workers will be anxious to open up sideline business to make money when they get off work; When students are in class, they think about how to secretly play mobile phones; When the wife is alone at home, she thinks about whether her husband who comes home late has been partying outside; The old man thinks over and over again how he will leave this world in the middle of the night.

Most of the time, we are doing what we are doing and thinking about other people or things. This is the daily life of people who are not enlightened. And enlightened people, they will be integrated with body and mind, and what the body is doing, they will think the same thing in their hearts. Whether it is Taoist meditation or Buddhist meditation, people are cultivating this kind of concentration.

enlightened people often know the taste of food when they eat. When they walk, they pay attention to the road ahead and listen to their breathing when they retreat. Therefore, they are generally not anxious or slow to speak, they are not angry or stupid when they are in trouble, and they treat people regardless of their rank. They are people who return to everything itself, and in them, you can experience the rare simple texture.

characteristic 3: enlightened people do not engage in personal worship.

enlightened people will understand the truth that the Tao cannot be cultivated, and it is there. If you have an obsession and want to practice Buddhism and attain the Tao, it is just a mistake.

Therefore, truly enlightened people will never call themselves "enlightened experts", so when they meet people who call themselves "enlightened experts", they are probably playing tricks. At the same time, enlightened people generally don't ask God to worship Buddha, because they know that people are at ease and don't have to force them to avoid obsession. Because it is an obsession to want to be promoted and get rich, and it is also an obsession to want bodhisattva to bless. What is the realm of enlightened people? 3

Enlightened people are terrible.

A saint has no heart, but takes the heart of heaven and earth as his heart.

truly enlightened people no longer believe that their thoughts are true, including any thoughts;

On the contrary, people who are not enlightened unconsciously believe that any idea they have is true, which is simply "any".

All human thoughts are built from nothingness, and they are built from the heart that has nothing. Therefore, those enlightened people in high life don't believe any of their own thoughts, no matter how reasonable or true an idea seems.

The human brain is originally based on the images seen by the eyes, and it is formed by a logical and habitual analysis.

this is the so-called cognition of the world, that is, the world view.

In fact, the wavelength bands of light that people's eyes can see are very few, and stronger or weaker light cannot be seen, so there are concepts of visible light and invisible light.

remember: what human eyes can see is actually very little.

In the field of cultivation, there has always been a saying that people can see more through cultivation.

Since the eyes can't see much of the world, people's thinking can be infinite, which is the cognition and understanding of the world.

The conscious mind does not determine that its own existence is true on the grounds of "rationality" and "seeming to be true". This habit is mental.

It's ridiculous and short-sighted to break thinking set's stubborn idea that the unchangeable and superficial knowledge of the world is not a burden for the enlightened people.

Ordinary people's minds support and prove that their dreams are real by being "reasonable" and "seemingly real".

The mind of awakening will not be hindered by the fantasy of the world, so it will not be deceived by any existence (thoughts, things, feelings, etc.) that it gives birth to. It will not reverse the "Lord" and its "imaginary thing". Therefore, enlightened people can live in nothingness and live.
