After realizing emptiness

Any external form is an illusion of the mind.

As long as you spin in formalism, you will always be troubled, because no matter what forms you have obtained, they will leave you, that is to say, this blessing is another disaster, what is gained today is what he loses, and joy is sadness.

You will find that all the things in your life that have troubled and painful you are the things that have brought you infinite happiness and happiness. For example, you have ever received the most beautiful love, and now you feel pain when you lose it. For example, you used to have a lot of wealth, and now your wealth is shrinking.

For example, you once had a place with infinite scenery, but now no one cares about the rock seepage. The acquisition of various forms of success is the foreshadowing of all kinds of failures in the future. As long as it is in its external form, it is a mirage, a matter of time, and sooner or later it will be shattered.

This is the beginning of the realization of emptiness. Most people realize emptiness in the midst of suffering and failure or great disillusionment. For example, those in Jiafu. Seeing him rise up, seeing him collapse. When the building rises, it is when the building collapses.

Once one realizes emptiness, one can awaken. Wake up from the fog of external forms. Understanding the vanity and emptiness of all matter, and returning to the essence, is like a stream that is scattered and falls into the sea.

You see a deep sense of tranquility and joy. Only the eternal tranquility and joy of the body, everything that is external and vain, is just a moment of fireworks, a scene created by your ego consciousness to accompany you to play, don't take it seriously, once you take it, it's over.

After realizing emptiness, you can still continue to play all the games, you can choose to experience everything, but you no longer have attachments, disgusting feelings, success intentions or all kinds of vain thoughts from the games. Instead, he becomes an observer, aware of what it is trying to say, and then enjoys it. Everything that comes is good, and it is all for your highest ontological needs and creations.

The observer and the observed are one. You are the present and you are the Creator of the Distance. You travel through Truman's world and can come and go as you please. You are truly a enjoyer of freedom in the red dust.

There is no more joy or sorrow, no more troubles, everything is quiet and peaceful.

First of all, I don't know how to do it myself, so what I said below is only **.

I think your question is a bit of a cart before the horse.

If you recite the Diamond Sutra 3,000 times and then look back at yourself, you may have the answer.

I can only say maybe, because three thousand times is not much. For ordinary people, it is a bit difficult to realize emptiness 3,000 times, but everyone's root apparatus is different, and some people may be able to achieve enlightenment.

But if you recite it 3,000 times, you will definitely have one or two short-term experiences of realizing emptiness.

And the question behind you: Is your clothing clean and tidy? What kind of attitude do you have about your own appearance or the admiration of others?

It doesn't need to be to the point of realizing emptiness. Letting go is to be put down, but you don't mean to let it go, some people are very attached to it. As long as you concentrate on your practice, as you accumulate the amount of practice, these things will gradually fade and become less concerned, and then you will let go.

You don't have to think about how to let go, then this kind of letting go is also a kind of attachment.

But dress cleanly and neatly, this is the basic cultivation, you need to pay attention to it, but don't pay too much attention to it.

About your appearance, but I'm sorry, after your parents gave birth to you and before you turned thirty, you are basically destined and will not change, and you can't change it no matter how much you care. If you want to change, you can only start practicing and cultivating your mind from now on, and your appearance after the age of 30 will change according to your heart, and these will vary from person to person. You have to know that physiognomy can also tell a person's fate, and fortune tellers can also read physiognomy.

Therefore, practice, accumulate virtue, and change your destiny, your face and appearance can gradually get better, otherwise you can't change, so you don't have to care too much, don't be sloppy.

Eyes of admiration for others,。。 Young people always have some hearts in the eyes of others, which is normal, but don't pay too much attention to it. At any time, the practice will slowly change. It's all a natural success.

Therefore, I think your focus now should be on how to practice, how to accumulate merits, and how to change your fate, otherwise you will be looking for fish and putting the cart before the horse.

It's wonderful, you only know it when you're enlightened.
