I would like to ask a passage from the Sixth Ancestor of the Thinker

Heaven is only in the present, and it has a unique meaning, not that you will reach heaven according to what kind of practice you follow.

Because heaven is right in front of your eyes, right in your moment. Heaven does not exist beyond the point of space-time.

The daily practice of benefiting is to make every bit of your ordinary life Zen, and when you settle in the present moment, you are in heaven. Eating while eating, sleeping while sleeping, when you eat completely, when you eat wholeheartedly, your thoughts will not be disturbed by anything else, then the meal is your paradise, because you feel "eating" with all your heart during eating, you are "eating", you are "eating" as a whole. Heaven is not a pavilion far away from the sky, heaven is your inner non-struggle, it is your inner peace.

Enlightenment is not about giving money, and many people think that enlightenment requires giving and taking vows. The six ancestors talked about merit, all the ways of doing things, all have nothing to do with the Tao, how much money is given, it is just a blessing, not a matter of merit.

He Lao seeks the mystery from the outside, which is the synthesis mentioned above. All cultivation is just for you to settle in the present moment, and everything you seek outward has nothing to do with the Tao.

Use the title of thinker Huineng to show that you are a cultural researcher rather than a believer. The perspectives and answers of scholars and believers are very different.

Therefore, your favorite and most acceptable answer is to use words to understand and analyze.

1. Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform; There was nothing in the first place, where to provoke the sharp.

2. Lost in time, enlightened self-degree.

3. It's not the wind, it's not the flag, it's the benevolent heart.

4. Anyone who is stupid and ignorant of his own nature, who does not know the pure land in his body, wishes to face the east and understands people everywhere.

5. Don't think about good, don't think about evil, that's your true face at the moment.

6. Instruction is none, but on insight, regardless of meditation and liberation.

7. The nature of non-duality is the Buddha nature. Everything is one, and one is everything. All the Dharma is inseparable from its own nature.

8. The lower people have the upper wisdom, and the upper people have no wisdom.

9. Buddhism is in the world, not leaving the world, and looking for Bodhi when leaving the world is just like looking for the horns of a rabbit.

10, Huineng has no tricks, constantly thinking; Counting the state of mind, how long is Bodhi?

11. Born to sit and not to sit, and dead to lie and not sit; A stinky bone, what is a homework.

12. The mind is nothing more than self-nature vows, the mind is free of foolishness and self-nature, the mind is free from chaos and self-determination, does not increase or decrease from Vajra, and the body goes to the original samadhi.

13. That is, the name of the heart, that is, the Buddha is fixed; Dinghui waits for it, and the intention is pure. To understand this method, by your habits; There is no life with the original, and double cultivation is positive.

14. The etiquette is slow, and the head is not on the ground; If you have my sin, you will live, and you will be blessed with forgetfulness.

15. The method of teaching has been left now, and people must study by themselves to save the world.

16. To understand this method, from your habits, there is no life with the original, and double cultivation is positive.

17. Pure to the fullest. Bodhi is self-natured, the mind is delusional, and the pure mind is in delusion, but there are no three obstacles.

18. The heart contains all kinds of things, and the rain is all sprouting; Epiphany has been, and Bodhi fruit is self-contained.

19. The first thought is not born is the heart, and the second thought is not extinguished, that is, the Buddha; Becoming all is the mind, and leaving everything is the Buddha.

20. The evil view of the three poisons in the sex is born, that is, the demon king comes to live in the house, and the righteous view is to eliminate the three poisonous hearts, and the demon becomes a Buddha.

21. Purity is born from the incarnation, and purity is always in the incarnation, and sex makes the incarnation do the right way, and the perfection is truly infinite.

22. In this life, if you encounter the Dun sect, you suddenly realize your own nature and see the world-honored, if you want to practice and find a Buddha, you don't know where to seek the truth.

23. A bitter mouth is good medicine, and a bad ear must be a good word. Reform must be born intelligent, and protect the short-hearted non-virtuous.

24. Leaving the world to find Bodhi is just like asking for a rabbit's horns. The right view is born, the evil view is the world, and the evil is defeated.

25. Everything is not true, and it is not seen in the truth, and if it is seen in the truth, it is not true to see everything.

26. When is the self-nature, the original does not give birth and die; When the self-nature is self-sufficient; When the self-nature is not shaken; When the self-nature is in place, it can give birth to ten thousand laws.

The Venerable Master Xuanhua's Compassionate Teachings:

Hui Neng was enlightened. All laws are inseparable from their own nature. Then enlightened the monk. When is the self-nature self-purified. When the self-nature is not born and destroyed. When the self-nature is self-sufficient; When the self-nature is not shaken; When the self-nature is in place, it can give birth to ten thousand laws. ”

In the Fifth Patriarch Master told the Sixth Patriarch the "Diamond Sutra", he said that you should not live in love, nor in love, nor in emptiness, nor in existence, but that you should have nothing to live in and give birth to your heart.

Hui Neng said that he had a great enlightenment": At this time, the Sixth Patriarch Master suddenly became enlightened. This great realization is to understand this deep wisdom from beginning to end.

Because he understands the wisdom of deep prajna, he is able to "keep all the dharmas from his own nature": he knows that the mind gives birth to all the dharmas, and the ten thousand dharmas are idealistic. All the ten thousand dharmas are originally manifested by their own nature.

Then enlighten the monk": he said to the five ancestors, "When is the self-nature self-pure": he said, alas!

I really didn't expect that this nature was originally impure and pure. If you say that you are not dirty or clean, how can you say that you are pure? When we say purity, we mean that we are not pure, so that we can be pure!

This purity is the appearance of the body, and since there is no other name to represent it, it is represented by purity. This purity is not defilement, and then it is purified; This purity is inherently pure.

When is the self-nature not born and destroyed": he said that I really can't imagine that my own nature is originally immortal. Because sentient beings are attached, they are born and die; If there is no attachment, where is birth and death born? And to what place will it perish? There will be no more life and death.

When is the self-nature self-sufficient": he said that I really can't imagine that this self-nature is originally sufficient, and there is nothing to be owed; Not a little more, not a little less. For the sake of the Buddha, there is not a little bit of it; For the sake of all sentient beings, there is no less.

But in sentient beings, they don't know themselves. Why don't you recognize it? It is to feel that the dust is in harmony, so I don't know the treasures I have, so I abandon the basics and pursue the end, the fundamentals and the ends, the pursuit of all material enjoyments, the pursuit of all vain happiness, and the pursuit of all false names and false profits.

Yes! It's too stupid! This is so stupid!

Alas! Now I know that my own nature has everything.

When is the self-nature unshakable": all sentient beings are upside down and have no concentration, but what about this self-nature? The self-nature of each of us, this is not to say the self-nature of the Six Patriarchs, it is like this, the self-nature of all sentient beings is unshakable, they are all the same, they are all equal.

When is the period of self-regeneration of ten thousand laws": Ah! I really can't imagine that all the laws are born from their own nature, and this self-nature is all-encompassing, I really couldn't have imagined it before, so now I have proved this kind of wonderful truth! It's wonderful.
