Diamond Sutra class notes first product duty

The first five chapters introduce the origin of the Diamond Sutra and the potential and laws of the existence of all things.

Speaking of vajra in ancient wisdom represents the potential of all things, it is often referred to as emptiness.

And used the business example of Anding company to illustrate the concept of potential. The occurrence of one thing is neutral, and different people will see different qualities. And the operating rule behind this is the law of consciousness imprint.

Chapter 6 describes how the law of potential applies to our lives.

There are two fragments in this chapter that have aroused my feelings.

1. The first fragment is in p78, original: each of these reactions implants a new imprint in your consciousness—a negative imprint. Every time you refuse to help those who are counting on you, you plant a seed that makes you see and your career rejected when you need help.

Two days ago, I happened to be aware of this experience, which was originally scheduled for a stage performance at two o'clock in the afternoon, but because the road was unfamiliar or I lost my props, I was late for tossing back and forth.

When I came to the scene very late, I saw that my friends were all wearing makeup, and I was very anxious and a little embarrassed. Ask the dance teacher to put on makeup for me. Watching her turn around and hurry, I felt angry that she was rejected.

I wasn't feeling well myself, so I told a dance partner about the experience. She said that the teacher had been shaking her years and was helping us with makeup, so busy. And I think it's being rejected.

In the evening, the teacher sent me a message asking me to come to class, and I was a little confused.

Through the law of consciousness imprint, I remembered that I had been angry enough to refuse someone's request to punish someone else.

At this time, the unpleasant experience blossomed in me.

2. The second fragment is in P90, the original text: two dealers may buy diamonds from the same company in the same market on the same day and get very different results. This is not because there were two different worlds and markets that day, but because the imprint that these two dealers have planted in their consciousness in the past has forced them to see the same market as two very different situations.

Both of these situations are very real. One dealer will complete the order and the other will fail.

It reminds me that there is a good consciousness in my heart, and what you bring or attract is also good, natural things.

The market is neutral, the dealer's consciousness is a friendly state, and what he sees is a friendly market. The heart is invincible to the sun, and the power of the heart has been reached, and it will also give you a green light all the way to make way for you.

At that time, Su Bodhi heard that it was a scripture, deeply understood the righteousness, wept tears and wept, and the white Buddha said: "I hope there is a world-honored one, the Buddha said that it is a very deep classic, I have never heard such a scripture in the past, and I have never heard such a scripture." World-honored one, if there are people who hear the scriptures and have pure faith, they will be born into reality.

When you know that you are a human being, you will achieve the first rare merit. World-honored one is the one who is the reality, that is, the one who is not the other. For example, the name is real.

World-honored one, I have heard it as a scripture now, and it is not difficult to believe in it and accept it. If in the next life, after 500 years old, there are sentient beings who can hear the scriptures, believe and understand them, and are human beings, they will be the first beings. Why?

This person has no self, no one, no beings, no longevity. So what? My appearance, that is, the appearance of right and wrong, the appearance of people, the appearance of sentient beings, and the appearance of the long-lived, that is, the appearance of right and wrong.

Why? Detached from all appearances, that is, the names of the Buddhas. The Buddha told Subodhi:

If so, yes. If there are people who hear the scriptures and are not frightened, they should know that they are human beings, and they are very hopeful. Why?

Subodhi, for example, the first paramita, that is, not the first paramita, is the first paramita. Subodhi, forbearance and humiliation of paramita, if it is not forbearance and humiliation of paramita, it is called forbearance and humiliation of paramita. Why?

Subodhi, just as I used to cut off my body for King Gori, I have no self, no one, no beings, and no longevity. Why? When I was broken up in the past, if there was a self, a human appearance, a sentient being, or a long-lived person, I should be resentful.

Su Bodhi, and read the past, in the five hundred generations to be a humiliating immortal, in the world of Yuer, there is no self, no one, no sentient beings, no longevity. Therefore, the bodhisattva should be detached from all appearances, develop the three bodhicittas of the three bodhichitta, should not dwell in the mind of color, should not dwell in the mind of sound, fragrance and touch, and should give birth to the mind of non-dwelling. If the mind is dwelling, it is not dwelling.

That's why the Buddha said that the bodhisattva mind should not dwell on charity. Subodhi, a bodhisattva should give in this way for the benefit of all sentient beings. For example, when we talk about all appearances, we are right and wrong.

He also said that all sentient beings are not sentient beings. Subodhi, if it is the true speaker, the real speaker, the one who speaks, the one who does not speak, the one who does not speak. Su Bodhi, if you come to get the Dharma, this Dharma is not real or false.

Subodhi, if the bodhisattva's mind dwells in the Dharma and performs almsgiving, if a person goes into the dark, he sees nothing. If the bodhisattva's mind does not stop the Dharma and does charity, like a person with eyes, the sun shines brightly, and he sees all kinds of colors. Subodhi, in the coming life, if there are good men and good women, who can undergo the recitation here, it will be like this.

With the wisdom of the Buddha, knowing that you are human and knowing that you are human beings, you can achieve immeasurable and boundless merits. ”
