There is nothing in the first place, what does it mean to stir up dust anywhere?

There is nothing in the first place, where can it cause dust" This sentence is excerpted from the last two sentences of the famous four verses of Master Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, which basically means: Where is there a place where there is nothing originally, and where can it cause dust?

Bodhi is a path of enlightenment, but what tree is there? If there is a tree, then Bodhi becomes a thing, and there is attachment.

Bodhi originally had nothing, you said you were enlightened, but what does enlightenment look like? Is it cyan? Yellow?

Red? White? Say it and see how it is formless.

Spiegel is not a platform': You say that the heart is like a mirror platform, in fact, there is no platform at all, if there is a platform, then there is some persistence, the so-called 'should have no place to live, and give birth to its heart', why should there be a platform?

Originally, there was nothing': there was nothing, there was no form, there was not a picture, or a form, so there was nothing at all.

Where does the dust stir up': since there is nothing, where does the dust come from? There is simply no place to live.

This verse is mainly derived from the phrase 'the mind should be born without dwelling', which is what the Buddha meant: 'All sentient beings have wisdom and virtue, but they cannot attain it with delusional attachment.' 'This place teaches people to have no attachment, what are you doing with attachment to it?'

Can you cling to it in the future and not die? What will you cling to when you die?

The Buddha said to me, "There is dust on your heart." I wiped hard.

The Buddha said, "You are wrong, the dust cannot be wiped off." So I peeled my heart off.

The Buddha also said, "You are wrong again, dust is not dust, how can there be dust!"

I can't understand it, what does it mean?

I think this is derived from the two sides of Shenxiu and Huineng.

Shenxiu said: "The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, always wipe diligently, don't make dust." ”

Huineng said: "Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust." ”

Indeed, it is indeed difficult to understand these two verses, even if they are not easy to understand correctly. I can't understand it.

The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, always wipe diligently, do not cause dust.

The body of sentient beings is a tree of enlightened wisdom, and the minds of sentient beings are like a bright mirror.

It should be dusted and rubbed at all times, so that it does not become polluted by dirt and obscures its bright nature.

Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust.

Bodhi didn't have a tree in the first place, and the bright mirror wasn't a platform.

It's nothingness and nothing, what dust will it be stained with?

Now it can only be understood literally, and it is miserable!

The heart is dust-free, and dust is the heart. Without heart and dust, people die.

I once thought about a problem: people think something is delicious, but in fact smell is more important than taste.

So creatures with a keen sense of smell like dogs are far happier than us when it comes to eating. Is this a ...... right?If it's wrong......What's wrong**?

In fact, the dust is outside, the heart is inside, and it is often brushed, and the heart is pure and dust-free;

The dust is inside, the heart is outside, often peeled off, no dust and no heart;

There is dust in the heart, the dust is the heart, why fear the dust in the heart, and there is no dust and no heart?

As Huineng said: the benevolent heart moves.

As the Taoists say: Tao can be very Tao.

They are the same ......

Buddhism pays attention to all things in the heart and pursues the cultivation of the world.

Taoism pays attention to being carefree and pursuing escapism.

Buddhists want to transcend this world, while Taoism practices this world, and the principle of this is a kind of practice.

The girl said that there was nothing to stir up dust, which meant that the state of mind at that time was that I was alone when I came, and after walking with you for a while, I will be alone again. The beginning and the end are the same, there is nothing, and I am sad and sad about something.

1. Source. From the Tang Dynasty Huineng's "Bodhi Verse".

2. The original text of the letter.

Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform.

There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust!

3. Interpretation. Originally, there was no Bodhi bark tree, and there was no mirror platform.

There is nothing in the heart, what dust will be stained?

Originally, there was nothing to be hungry for, where to stir up dust", the old limbs argued from Tang Huineng's "Bodhi Verse" is missing.

The meaning of the original sentence is: Originally, the four were empty, and they were stained with dust by **!

This sentence is said by the Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng, which is relative to the sentence of the Shenxiu Master, "Always wipe the shirt frequently, don't make the dust dry and laugh".

Learning Buddhism and practicing does not mean that it should be as Shenxiu said, one step at a time, but it cannot reach the other side. It should be like the six ancestors who go straight to the point and know the heart.
