Wisdom in the Diamond Sutra 44 .

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. ”

Kudos to yourself for persisting in reading the Bible today!

1. In the Diamond Sutra, the Buddha causes immeasurable beings to enter the infinite nirvana and extinguish them, without attachment to the immeasurable beings who have already attained the immeasurable sentient beings, and to attain the merit of imitating the holy fruits. Buddhism teaches us to have a big mind and not to be high-minded. Therefore, if you study the Diamond Sutra, you will gain and accumulate immeasurable merits and benefits.

2. In the Diamond Sutra, the Buddha said that if the Bodhisattva does not stop giving to each other, his merit is inconceivable. Buddhism teaches us that after doing all the good deeds, we should not be attached to the retribution of the retribution, and the retribution will be multiplied countless times. Therefore, by studying the Diamond Sutra, you will gain and expand the merit benefits of merit.

3. In the Diamond Sutra, the Buddha said that all appearances are false. Buddhism teaches us that everything in the world is not permanent and becomes empty in the blink of an eye. Don't be careful, but benefit the public.

And we must cultivate the truth through falsehood and obtain the Dharma body. Therefore, the study of the Diamond Sutra will lead to the false cover of the hall and the merit and benefits of permanent residence.

Subodhi! If all the Sumeru Mountain Kings in the three thousand worlds are waiting for the Seven Treasures to gather, some people will use almsgiving. If one uses this Prajnaparamita Sutra or even the four verses and so on, and receives, recites it, and speaks it for others, it is less than one percent of the previous merits, hundreds of trillions of billions, and even arithmetic metaphors. 】

This passage can be said to be a measure of merit. There are other meanings, what? If you practice all the good dharmas to attain the three bodhisattvas, if you just recite and receive the Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra, then how can you attain the supreme bodhi?

You also have to practice the Dharma to attain the supreme bodhi! It is said that by practicing the good dharma, one can attain supreme bodhi, then receiving and reciting the Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra in this way, in black and white, should not be able to attain supreme bodhi? That's what I wondered.

Subodhi! If all the Sumeru Mountain Kings in the three thousand worlds are waiting for the Seven Treasures to gather, some people will hold and use almsgiving: Buddha greets Subodhi!

If there are so many Sumeru Mountain Kings in the three thousand worlds, they are all made up of the accumulation of seven treasures, and some people hold so many seven treasures to come to the Buru clan to give all the scum and talk about bad life.

If a person receives and recites this Prajnaparamita Sutra or even the four verses, and so on, and says it to others: If this person is willing to receive all the Diamond Sutras, or even the least four verses, he can still preach them for others.

In the past, the merit of 100 percent is less than 100 percent, 100 trillion parts, and even arithmetic metaphors: the merit obtained by giving the Seven Treasures in the previous is multiplied by 100 points, or 100 million points, or even arithmetic metaphors, and it is not as good as receiving the merit of the Diamond Sutra or even the four verses.

There are four ways to praise the merits of the Dharma in the sutras.

Clause. 1. Winning by numbers: It is calculated by the number of one, two, three, four, five; For example, less than 100 percent.

1. Hundreds of trillions are less than one. In terms of numbers, it is still impossible to describe the merit of cultivating Vajra Prajna.

Clause. 2. Strength: refers to mental strength, that is, to distinguish with heart; Even if we use our minds to observe, we cannot express the merits of studying Prajna.

The merits that are missing in the world can be counted by number or thought by thought. However, the merit of having no leakage in the world cannot be imagined.

Clause. 3. Metaphorical victory (no similar victory): The merits that are missing in the world can be illustrated by metaphors; But the merits of the world, even metaphors, are difficult to analogy.

Clause. Fourth, the cause of victory (time victory): is to use time to measure the difference between the merits that have leaks in the world and the merits that have not leaked in the world.

If you don't meditate and learn the merits of the good Dharma that are missing in the world, you can reach the top of the realm of desire at most, and the lifespan of the top heaven of the desire realm is 16,000 years, and then the time will be over. If the practice of meditation reaches the point of non-contemplation, then it will be the end of the 80,000 eons. If the merit that comes out of the world is endless, and after it is accomplished, that merit will never be destroyed or destroyed; So it can't be described as time.

There are these four ways to praise the special beauty of the Dharma; Now, even the arithmetic metaphor here is not yet a comprehensive representation of the merits of the Dharma.

Preface] The main purpose of this duty is to destroy delusion. All the various phases in the world that are artificial, moving, and changing are all causes and conditions, and all kinds of phases arise when causes and conditions meet, and all kinds of phases that are separated from causes and conditions will disappear, like illusions, and illusory and unreal. The Buddha's ** Buddha's "thirty-two phases", "eighty accompanying good", and the towering six golden bodies are the reality of the Buddha?

Su Bodhi understood the deep meaning of this sentence, so he said: "You can't see the body (color body) as it comes." The appearance of the Buddha is nothing but the delusion of the pseudonym and the combination, so the appearance of the Buddha is the "four great aggregates", the "five aggregates" and the false appearance of the conjunction, that is, the reality of the non-existence of the body.

Only by observing the random birth and death of the Dharma, and from the impermanence as the door to the realization of the natureless emptiness of the Dharma, can we see the Dharmakaya thoroughly. In fact, not only the Buddha's appearance, but all the appearances in the world are false and changing. Separation is indifferent to sex, and separation from chaos is indifferent to phase; If there is attachment to the appearance, all kinds of obstacles arise.

If you see all appearances, if you can recognize that "all appearances" are false but not real, delusional but not true, you will not be obsessed with the loss of truth. Proving the Dharma, that is, "seeing the Dharma", "seeing the Dharma is seeing the Buddha". The reason why a Buddha is a Buddha is that he is in the middle way of the ultimate enlightenment and the cause of emptiness; There is nothing strange about this enlightenment!

If we can understand the emptiness of the dependent origination of the Dharma, we will be able to comprehend the true meaning of "seeing the dependent origination is seeing the Dharma cherry blossoms, and seeing the Dharma is seeing the Buddha".

Original text] Su Bodhi, what is the meaning of the clouds? Can you see each other in person? ”

No, World-Honored One. You can't see it as you are. Why? As it is said, the physiognomy is not the physiognomy. ”

The Buddha told Subodhi: "All appearances are false. If you see things that are not like each other, you will see them as they are. ”

Note] Physiognomy: The physiognomy of the body, which refers to the special and wonderful appearance of the Buddha.

The Buddha asked, "Subodhi, what do you think?" Is it possible to know the true nature of Nyorai based on the appearance of the body that is good enough? ”

Subodhi: "No, World-Honored One. It is not possible to recognize the true nature of the Buddha by relying on the appearance of the body that is good enough for the Buddha. Why? Because the physical appearance of the good body is not the real appearance. ”

The Buddha told Bodhi, "All appearances are false. If you can realize that all appearances are false and untrue, you will be able to see that this is the case. ”
