How can I see my heart clearly?

Speech in Hangzhou on June 17th, 1995.

Disciple asked:' How to eliminate greed, ignorance and ignorance?'

A: greed, ignorance and slow doubt belong to confusion. Doctrinally, ignorance can be divided into confusion, confusion, confusion and ignorance. From coarse to fine, fine to extremely fine. Seeing confusion is the confusion caused by the truth that there is no life, no self and so on. And it belongs to reason, so it is named rational confusion. It is divided into five kinds, namely, two places at once, edge, evil, taking and abstinence, all of which belong to incorrect knowledge. For example, there is a common misunderstanding among monks that they cling to supernatural forces without asking whether they have a clear mind and see nature. It is easy to get rid of confusion. When we practice Buddhism, we realize our nature, revise our knowledge and get rid of confusion. However, it is not easy to get rid of the confusion at once. It is necessary to practice the truth more openly after enlightenment in order to gradually break this confusion. Confusion is caused by thinking about the illusory things in the world. These things are dull, greedy, angry, stupid, slow and suspicious, so they are not easy to get rid of. Seeing chaos, life and death can't be repeated. Therefore, if you want to get rid of this body, fate, evil, taking, abstinence, greed, anger, ignorance, slowness and doubt, you must first understand the nature and be happy. Knowing that everything is illusory and unattainable, it is my human nature to see this clearly and understand the essence of Gnosticism. Protect and exercise it from time to time in the realm, polish the persistent habit, only greed, ignorance and doubt can eliminate it. Teach me the realm of desire, color and colorless, up to nine places and eighty-eight products. It should be removed step by step, not at once. So we should have a long-term deep heart and work hard in the realm.

The most important thing is to know that we really have enough laws to report trisomy, and we don't need to ask for it. Since our heart is pure, that is, the present heart is broken and the heart is not awake, then clear gnosis is our dharma body; We can see all the wisdom and light is our report; All kinds of appearances of things are the changes of our legal nature and the embodiment of us. Buddhism and registration are easy to understand. When we stop thinking, we are still awake, not unconscious. At this time, the lost Gnosticism is our dharma body, and now everyone can experience it. The report is that we can see the wisdom and light of all this now. Without the wisdom and light of the dharma body, we can't see these things. For example, without light, like a blind man, he can't see anything. He can see the light of our dharma body, and the light of our dharma body is the light of wisdom. The avatar is not easy to understand. Everything, such as cups, fruits, houses and so on. , is my change, is my embodiment. How can this be my incarnation? Aren't these ruthless things? The world is ruthless, and people and animals are affectionate. How can it be my incarnation? Because without my legal wisdom, these things would not exist. For example, the house we live in should be designed before building it. How can an engineer come up with this pattern in his mind? He absorbs the external environment, after thinking and analysis, how to transform and develop, how to draw new patterns to meet people's needs, what is this function? Is it the function of the brain? It seems to be the function of the brain, but all kinds of cranial nerves in the brain, such as visual nerves and auditory nerves, are just like wires, and they can't do without electricity. What is electricity? Electricity is the function of our dharma body. What is Buddha nature? Sex, performance also. Yes, that's the function. He just works in obscurity. For example, electricity can't see the image of electricity. When the electricity is turned on, the light will come on and the machine will turn. The cranial nerves are like wires, and electrification is the same function as our Buddha. Therefore, designing patterns or later asking craftsmen to build houses are all functions of our Buddha nature, which is realized and embodied by Buddha nature. After understanding that this Buddhism is full of idealism, you can't stop looking at each other. Everything is the shadow of my wisdom, so you won't be tempted, won't take pictures, and there's nothing to pray for! With such efforts, greed, ignorance and suspicion will gradually disappear.

If you don't understand this truth, living by head portrait and taking pictures will not only make greed and ignorance disappear, but will increase. What do you want with the avatar? Isn't it just for fame and fortune? Need compliments, need fame, need support, greed, ignorance and doubt have increased, which is of no help at all. It can be seen that to eliminate greed and ignorance, we must see sex! No sex! The root is still understanding nature, so the root of Buddhism is still understanding nature.

Now some people have made a mistake. Don't be sober and see sex, but be magical. As long as you can make magical powers, go after them quickly.' This method has magical powers, so learn it quickly'. Not to get rid of greed, ignorance and suspicion, but to increase greed. Therefore, when we practice dharma, we must put everything down and do not ask for meditation. We seek meditation, but we can't get in. Because your desire to settle down is an empty heart, and you have an empty heart. Can you settle down? Therefore, if you want to settle down, you must let go of everything, ask for nothing, and be ordinary, so that you can feel at ease and settle down, thus opening up the original and proving the nature of Buddha. In fact, enlightenment is nothing mysterious and strange, it is extremely simple and ordinary. But I heard some other disciples in Hangzhou say,' None of us in Hangzhou have any prospects.' Oh, no, this must be a misunderstanding of the true meaning of Tao. What is achievement? Do you have to be an avatar to be successful? Without the avatar, you won't be clear-headed and unable to achieve anything? This is obviously a great mistake. What is it first, that is, what is the purpose of our study of Buddhism? The purpose of learning Buddhism is to achieve samsara and life and death, which is our great goal. How can there be reincarnation in life and death? Can the avatar be reborn? No way! All outsiders have five magical powers-eyes, ears, heart, foot and life, but they can't live or die. Because they don't know what their nature is, they cling to the pursuit of the outside world, take something away, and live or die. Therefore, if you want to live and die, you must have an empty heart, and everything can't live. Knowing that all changes are revealed by the role of my own Buddha nature, I have nothing to pursue, nothing to ask for, and I am natural and unrestrained. This is great achievement, great freedom and great magical power. If you are chasing something and praying for something, your heart will still be troubled, even if the five links are in full swing, it will not be an achievement. So, we learn to be chic. In this society, everything keeps pace with the times, we try our best to serve the masses, we can go up and down, we have nothing to pursue and nothing to ask for. True chic is the true meaning of Mahayana Buddhism and an achievement. We are born to do anything without sticking to the environment and have no choice. When the twelfth lunar month comes, we will naturally leave the environment and die happily.

We are obsessed with life and death now, that is, taking territory. Today, we are colored and physical, that is, when our parents share the same room, we are tempted to run in by ourselves. If you are not in China and you don't go, there is no such body, so you are very chic and can wander around. Now having a body is a burden, and we can't move. We deserve it. Now we should understand this truth when practicing the law. All three people in France are wholeheartedly. Don't pursue, don't ask for any magical powers, let go of everything, and then you will feel at ease. Natural and unrestrained, free, live as you are, die as you are, go wherever you want, it's up to you, isn't that what life and death are like?

After all, there is no difference between life and death. Our nature is immortal, neither coming nor going, neither increasing nor decreasing, neither dirty nor moving, and there is no life or death at all. Clinging to life and death means that we move around in vain and take things from the environment. So everything is put down, isn't it very comfortable? This is great freedom, there is no life and death, what is greed, ignorance and doubt? Greed, ignorance and suspicion mean that we don't know our own nature, pursue the outside world, and are fascinated by color and dust. Therefore, once you understand what your nature is, you will naturally disappear without taking the external environment. Similarly, if you can really be chic and ask for nothing, then the five magical powers will naturally come. Because this is our nature, it is there, not because of practice. So we say that it belongs to enlightenment, not cultivation. Enlightenment is awakening, that is, waking up from sleep and not doing it anymore. We are usually in a dream, chasing the dream, not knowing it is a dream, just chasing it as if it were true. Therefore, if you want something, you will be greedy. If you are not greedy, you are angry. If you persist in greed, you will become stupid. Slow is to look down on others, you are not as good as me, I am good, so some people look at each other and I look at each other. Doubt is even more inevitable. For example, if I say that this idea is out of date, knowing clearly that it is our sincerity, you will inevitably doubt:' Is this sincerity? No, if it's natural, I should work my magic when I see sex. How come there is no magical power at all? "That's not it," the doubt came, and this one was broken. Because you don't really believe, you can't protect your nature wholeheartedly, so you ran away with the realm and took another road. It's a good way to come here. It's almost home. Just work hard and keep your job. Because of doubt, I went back and took another road. I didn't want to take this law, so I took another law. It is wrong to practice in another way, and the result will still be practiced again and again. Because of inattention, when the crisis comes, another method will be adopted, which will not work. This is the mistake of refusing to practice on the ground because of doubt! Many people have neglected their efforts because of this and got nothing. If we can undoubtedly determine that this idea is obviously our nature, we should protect it all the time. Don't forget to protect this nature when walking, sitting and lying down. Don't get lost in the realm, don't run with the realm, don't move any realm, and know that everything is fake. The only real thing is my current gnosis, and the rest are fake, so don't pay attention to him. If you can really do this, you can naturally do great things without three or five years. Because you don't chase, the avatar that is already enough will naturally appear. The reason why it can't be revealed now is because it has been covered up by your greed, anger, stupidity, slowness and suspicion. It's your delusion, your persistence, your pursuit, the avatar you want, but the avatar won't come. Therefore, the avatar is not repaired or begged. Everything you ask is false, not true, just incidental. Because you want something, those ghosts and gods will follow, cater to your psychology and run into your heart. So now Qigong has a special function, 80% or 90% of which is incidental, not its own. Because of greed.

When we study Buddhism, we are enlightened, and we understand that our sincerity is our spiritual knowledge in our state of mind. The sermon is very simple, just guide you directly, there is nothing mysterious. It's not just a sermon, mystery and mystery come, and all the methods come. Actually, Zen in China is the best. It is the best secret method, straight to the point, without words, pointing directly at people's hearts and seeing nature become Buddha. The highest realm of Tantric Buddhism is Zen. I didn't create this sentence. King Dabao, who has really achieved great success in cultivating Tibetan secrets, once said:' Speaking of our tantric school, the great perfection method is the highest and deepest. Is there a great perfection method in China? Yes! That is Zen, and Zen is the great perfection method. "Is this correct? Yes! That's right. We learned the great perfection method from Gongga. The great perfection method has' forward' and' forward'. Going forward' means talking about etiquette and practicing the dharma; "Zheng" means directly revealing what the nature of Buddha is, that is, the revelation of "seeing Sect", just like Zen refers to a class, no different. Zen is a straightforward way to teach you to see sex instead of going around. Such as:' What is the Buddha like? A:' Talking about the opposite side, not the Buddha, who is it? ! What's that talking across from the Buddha? Who instructed you to talk to me face to face instead of Buddha? Deduction, who can listen to the sound and move? Isn't this our Buddha nature? ! A simple, kind and crucial sentence will directly guide you to see sex. Or ask,' What is the Buddha like? He called you, you promised him, and he seized this opportunity to instruct you to say,' This is the Buddha! You see, how rude and festive! Enlightenment is so easy, there is nothing mysterious and strange. This is the deepest Zen method and China's great perfection method. Unfortunately, later people were weak and suspicious and refused to accept it. Is this idea natural? So easy? "I'm afraid not," doubt. Greed, ignorance and slow doubt are the strongest, which makes people lose sincerity. The founder pointed out at a glance that he couldn't do it, so he didn't show it directly, but walked around for you to say it. Q: "What is a Buddha?" A:' Dongshan rises.' Or answer:' take off your sandals and walk barefoot.' I won't tell you anything directly In this way, you can doubt because you don't know the meaning of this answer, or you can cut off your delusion because of doubt. When the season comes, you can prove the truth yourself. Zen is a kind of intensive protection after understanding the body. Exercise in the situation, diligently eliminate wrong habits, so as to be integrated and get through the three levels. We can give many examples, such as the Master of Six Ancestors. He was enlightened by the five ancestors, "you should have no place to live, but you should have a heart." After enlightenment, he knows that all daily use is the wonderful use of our Buddha nature. As long as there is no place to live, we must be natural and comfortable, and that kind of nature, that kind of implication and that kind of sincerity will naturally appear in front of us. So it was closely protected in the living room, and the road was ripe. It is said that the altar was opened. Speaking of dating, it's the first date. It is to protect first, not to follow ideas, not to run with ideas, not to turn when the realm comes. When you are mature, and you give up insurance, then let nature take its course, let nature take its course, and move freely, without restraint or adhesion. Just like Confucius said,' 70 do what you want without overstepping the bounds', you can do anything, become a Buddha, or possess yourself. Later, Mazu disciple Damei asked Mazu,' What is Buddha? Mazu replied,' that is, the heart is the Buddha.' Heart is Buddha, and Buddha is heart. Damei suddenly understood. After three years of protection, Mazu wanted to see if Damei really understood, so he sent a waiter to say,' Brother, Master has bid farewell to Buddhism recently.' Big sister said,' Why?' The waiter said,' Again, it's not a heart, it's not a Buddha. Damei said,' The old man confused everyone and died. Let him be either a Buddha or a heart. I only care that the heart is a Buddha. "When Mazu knew it, he said,' Plums are ripe!' A truly enlightened person is one who stands firm and is not influenced by what others say. Zen is so direct, so is dzogchen. Dzogchen finally said that "the separation of noumenon is dharma body". I didn't want to say this at first, but after decades of hard work, I am still willing to tell you this. Ontology is separated and there is no phase at all. This is the dharma body; "Ontology display is divided into reports"; Everything is revealed by the change of my legal nature, and anything I ask for or ask for is not my embodiment. To be clear, this is dzogchen. So it's not that no one in Hangzhou has achieved anything. You lied to yourself, made a mistake and got the avatar. It is said that no one in Hangzhou has achieved anything. In fact, he doesn't know that he is achieving something. Besides, we didn't know it was enabled. It is open all day. Why didn't you know it was on? Are you not allowed to drink water? Isn't eating and dressing enabled? Isn't walking and work enabled? This is not enabled, so how can it be enabled? They all gain something. They want to be magical, mysterious and strange. I can do what others can't. I think this is activation, and everyone can't be activated. He doesn't know, if the body is activated, can it move without breathing? Who is enabled now? Isn't our current Buddhist function enabled? Isn't that the function of sincerity? So the Zen master said,' There are countless hungry people by the rice basket all day. Isn't it wrong to use rice wonderfully when you know it's not eaten nearby? So we say, don't be deceived by yourself and understand this truth. To truly eliminate greed, ignorance and doubt, we must see sex. If you can't see sex, how can you get rid of greed, ignorance and doubt? Always take something and write something, insatiable, there are 10 thousand, 100 thousand, 100 thousand, millions, hundreds of millions, insatiable. Therefore, we should learn from Buddhism and let go of everything.

When we sit down, we must be dead set, like the dead, regardless of anything, and someone will listen to our hearts. Curse in the heart, not in the mouth; Listen carefully, the brain is motionless and caught. If you grasp it, you can go deep into meditation, you can feel at ease and you can open it. The next seat must be mind-watching! Always observe, walk, live, sit, lie down and never forget. If you don't follow your own ideas, you will feel when you read, and you will feel empty when you feel it. I don't know, I can't see it. I've gone with the flow, and I don't feel that I still have thoughts, so it's too late. I can tell at a glance. Turn it off at once. The outside world doesn't go with the flow, and no change in the outside world can pull me. I know all this is false, it's all a shadow of myself, and I don't follow it. If you do this, you will be on the road in less than three to five years. So to be clear, everyone knows how to go, and it is definitely not magic that is achievement. Protect him from time to time after knowing him, be truly free and pursue nothing, and the five magical powers will naturally emerge.

Now that I have told you, it is our nature to be enlightened, see the Sect and know the difference between thoughts. This is our understanding. If you understand, you must protect it. Protect your thoughts and don't follow them. When we are familiar with it, the mind we can observe and the thought we can observe will fall off for a period of time, that is to say, the heart we can read during meditation will fall off for a period of time, just like the mantra we hold, the physical and mental world can not be obtained, which proves our nature. What is the difference between this understanding and pro-evidence? The texts of the two proofs are the same, and there is no difference, that is, the proof of the difference between one thought and another, which is exactly the same as what we got after several years of practicing dharma and what we got after thirty years of meditation. But the strength is different. I have no time to read it. When things come, I often can't stop, and my heart is in a mess. This is that I can't be confused, that is, greed, ignorance and slow doubt have not been eliminated. Now that we are sitting on the throne and doing kung fu, the physical and mental world is empty. With the power of personal witness, things can be stopped when they come, greed and ignorance can be eliminated, and the power is different. However, if I can gain a foothold, it is my nature to know this, and there is no doubt that it is good to protect it. Knowing this three-body person, that is, turning karma into three-body person, is my embodiment. Don't doubt, don't take it seriously, don't chase it, so it will be slow after three to five years, which is also a good thing. Therefore, there is nothing mysterious about doing kung fu. When Lin Ji was enlightened, he said,' It turns out that Buddhism has no children'. Nothing, just now, just now. So we don't leave the moment to do kung fu and keep working hard.

The bad thing is that everyone is suspicious. For example, pedestrians in Jing Zong are also wondering:' Can I give birth to the West by chanting Buddha like this? I'm afraid I can't. "Suspicious people have no power to read Buddha, and it's hard to live in the West. Be full of confidence,' I can achieve this decision, I can give birth to the West, and the decision is affirmative!' Then you will have strength, and you will have strength wholeheartedly. Most importantly, we have to leak everything first. To learn Buddhism is to be chic. If you are still worrying, it is not Buddhism, and it does not correspond to Buddhism. We say' well-fed and thrifty', everything goes with fate, good is better, bad is worse, it doesn't matter, it's all false. If you laugh at good karma, if you worry about bad karma, what Buddha have you learned? Isn't there nothing? Is everything a dream? What are you worried about? Someone asked,' am I enlightened? If you are enlightened, don't ask yourself:' am I still obsessed with the realm? Are you still taking pictures? If you cling to the realm, it is ignorance. Realization is to wake up and stop dreaming. When you dream, you have everything. The good realm is extremely happy, the bad realm is extremely distressed, and everyone wakes up crying. When I woke up, there was no trace. If you are still troubled by this situation, then you don't understand. It is right to be happy in prosperity, not to worry in adversity, and not to be angry, so as to truly eliminate greed, ignorance and doubt. Without a clear mind and understanding, it is impossible to eliminate greed, ignorance and doubt, and nothing can be done. To get rid of greed, ignorance and doubt, we must see sex!

What you have to experience and protect after seeing sex. If you don't have enough strength and want to move your mind, you should meditate more. Being confused and moved by the situation is confusion. To do kung fu, we must first understand what sincerity is, which is the most important thing, and then we can start to protect him and know where to work hard and where to use our strength. If you don't know what sincerity is and where your strength is used, how can you become a Taoist? ! You must have self-knowledge when you do kung fu. If your concentration is not enough, you should meditate more, which can improve your concentration. We used to do this. Whenever we have a Sunday off, we don't go out to play. We meditated at home all day and sat all night. This heart is so pure that we didn't move at all. Now we don't want anything we like, but we are relaxed and happy. Therefore, the concentration is not enough, and it is still necessary to meditate more to protect. Empty-hearted, natural and unrestrained, that is, the Tao is interlinked, but also venting. With this link, you don't have to worry about the other five magical powers. This is called' but get the money, don't worry about the end'. Because the five magical powers are full of nature, when they are opened, they naturally appear; It was covered inside before it was opened. If you don't take away those things that look like paintings, your heart is always shaking. If you want magical powers, it's the opposite. This is persistence and persistence, greed and greed. How can you get what you want? ! You have to let go of everything.

Mind method is a Buddhist method that integrates Zen, purity and intimacy, and always requires us to see sex directly. When practicing the law, there was nothing. There is a seal spell, but what does it mean? There is nothing to think about, nothing to consider, there is nothing, there is nothing, it is right and wrong; If there is a seal spell, it is either empty or not. I'll read you a spell and put a handprint, which means empty but not empty, neither empty nor nothing. Pushing you forward can prove your true nature. After proving its nature, it belongs to Zen. The heart is empty, naked, naked and spotless. Isn't that pure land? The ground is the heart, and the heart is the ground, so the places you want to live, east, south, west and north, will be your pure land. Follow the fate and blend in. The real pure land is our quiet and bright pure land, the pure land of nature, which was clean and pollution-free. It is all because of our obsession that we have created these five turbid evil worlds. When our hearts are clean, the evil world will become pure land. Therefore, Mind Method is the core of Tantric Buddhism and dzogchen's epistemological knowledge.

Tao can be divided into four steps: the first step is' seeing sex'. Now I understand that Gnosticism is natural at this point, and so is it. Dzogchen is also a direct revelation, which makes people see their present nature. Next, do protective kung fu, and' feel growth' in protective kung fu. This is the second step. Consciousness is awareness, awareness, not fascinated, not moved by the realm, not turned by the realm. True consciousness will really benefit you, and you won't worry. Otherwise, you should be worried and angry when you are in adversity; When you wake up, you will know that all this is false and a shadow. If you don't persist, pursue or worry, you will really benefit from it, and you will be happy all day long. So I said, I was happy at first. When I feel that I am growing up, I will go to the Shanghai Stock Exchange step by step. I will often test myself:' How am I now, have I made progress?' Of course, it is not in one step. It takes a process to reach ten places and wait for a good second sleep. The third step is to' understand the body and promote the concept'. The light body is the light body, which has progressed and broadened, illuminating the tenth generation. All the buddhas in the ten worlds have entered my body, and it is just as well for me to join hands with each other when I enter the buddhas. This is the realm of Hua Yan Jing. Because this is because of the increase of awareness, at this point, greed, ignorance and doubt are absolutely absent, not at all. But this is not the end. Finally, the fourth step is' what is the legal world'. All the light is unavailable, all the magical powers are unavailable, and they are self-absorbed and do not appear. According to dzogchen, it is' such as the 30th of the twelfth lunar month'. Can you still see the moon on the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month? I can't see. It's all gone. That's what Zen says here. Last time I told a story, a monk asked Cao Shan,' What happened to Lang Yue's vows? When the moon is overhead, the big round moon shines on the head. Cao Shan replied, "You are still a low-ranking Han Chinese." I haven't come home yet. Say,' please ask the teacher to take up his post. Please have mercy and give me a hand. Answer: "See you at sunset." So Zen and Tantric Buddhism are the same, don't make a mistake. The esoteric secret method, the top secret method is Zen. So, if you can stand firm and not be confused by what people say, you can become a road. As soon as you hear someone say,' The living Buddha is here, and he works miracles', you run with him, and then you come to a fork in the road. Because there is no higher secret method than Zen, and it is unlucky and possessed to seek magical powers. This time, a girl from Guangzhou learned Qigong and asked for special functions. As a result, two ghosts entered her body. The first one in is okay. If anything, the ghost told her that she seemed to have a little magical power. If there is another, her body will be overwhelmed and heartbroken. This is the evil consequence of seeking the avatar. Therefore, when we study Buddhism, we should understand and take the right path. We should know that the most important thing in Buddhism is not to show our magical powers, but to live and die. What about life and death? Life and death can only be achieved if we don't go with the flow and stick to the realm. You can't live or die after all if you ask for the avatar. All the people who seek supernatural powers are in the photos, all for fame and fortune. Taste qigong masters first make reports, sell tickets to make money, then treat diseases and collect money, and then sell information. Are irrelevant. To put it bluntly, it's all a scam. It's unfair to go with them. When we learn Buddhism, we must recognize the mental method,' Only this one is true, and the other two are not true'. Mind-method is outside the kung fu, and mind-method is outside the Tao. Achievement is not magic, but modesty, magnanimity and chic. Being obedient and unrestrained is the greatest magical power. Because I left this, I made five magical powers, and I felt uncomfortable. For example, with "The Legend of Destiny" and knowing what previous lives were like, I was annoyed,' I did so many bad things in previous lives'. There was an arhat who killed his father and was heartbroken. How could I be so unfilial and kill my father? ! I cant sit still. Sakyamuni Buddha said to Manjusri Bodhisattva:' This arhat is predestined, knowing that he killed his father, his heart is unstable. Let's sing a play for him and say something to save him. So Manjusri drew his sword and killed the Buddha, and everyone was scared to death. Killing my father is a heinous crime, and killing Buddha is a heinous crime. Buddha said don't panic, Manjusri didn't mean to kill Buddha. All this is your wishful thinking. In fact, these things, like dreams in dreams, are illusory and have no real things. Therefore, what we did in the past is equal to what we did in our dreams. When we wake up, there will be no more, and our hearts will be stable. In this way, the Buddha explained to Lohan, which made Lohan's heart settle down. So we have to understand that all the mistakes we made in the past are like dreams in dreams. Now that we are awake and put down, our hearts are empty. If the heart is empty, the karma will disappear; If the heart is not empty, it will be broken, and the industry will be rewarded. So if the heart is not empty, it is fate, and then there is endless trouble. Monks should always work hard on their minds and not seek magical powers. Take the right path, don't go astray, you can really live and die!
