Zen Buddhism s emphasis on epiphany, is it already contrary to the original intention of Buddhism?

does not contradict each other. Buddhism says that there is power and substance, and the root nature of human beings is obtuse and beneficial, and the cause and conditions are ripe and unfamiliar.

In Buddhism's foundation of "do no evil, practice all good, and purify one's mind", the Hinayana and Mahayana teachings are different in the opening and closing of evil and good, and the understanding of the most fundamental "self-purification of one's mind" is even more different.

From the perspective of Mahayana Buddhism, becoming a Buddha and benefiting sentient beings is the most fundamental goal, but the path and convenience of achieving the goal are very different, some promise to need the three great monks to become a Buddha, some promise to become a Buddha, some promise to become a Buddha, and some promise to become a Buddha in the body. Actually, there is nothing wrong with these views, they are all set up by the Buddha for the convenience of people with different root natures.

Therefore, the enlightenment of Zen Buddhism is one of the Buddha's life conveniences, which is completely consistent with the original intention of Buddhism.

Zen Buddhism focuses on epiphany, and it does not run counter to the original intent of Buddhism. Zen Buddhism focuses on epiphany, in fact, to explore the truth of life. The essence of "epiphany" is the truth and the original of life.

The original meaning of Buddhism: do not do any evil. Practicing all goodness and purifying one's mind is Buddhism.

The essential meaning of the two is the same.

1. The original meaning of Buddhism is four sentences: do not do all evil, practice all good, and purify one's will, which is all Buddhism.

Among them, all evil is not done, and all good is pursued, which mainly belongs to the worldly law; The main thing to purify oneself is to speak out the worldly law. In the final analysis, it is to purify oneself, to recognize oneself as oneself is to be immortal, to return to one's original nature, to be free from the suffering of birth and death, and to attain the happiness of nirvana. Zen Buddhism, on the other hand, emphasizes epiphany, and the enlightenment it speaks of is the truth and origin of life.

Learning Zen is why we explore the truth of life.

Two: Zen Buddhism and the Pure Land are the two Buddhist sects that have the greatest influence on China, and those who study Buddhism know that Zen Buddhism does not advocate worshipping Buddha, not because Zen Buddhism does not respect Buddha, but just the opposite, Zen Buddhism is the school that most respects Buddha. Zen Buddhism believes that there is Buddha nature from all aspects, and you can become a Buddha by seeing nature.

As long as you can see clearly, it doesn't matter whether you worship the Buddha or recite sutras. Zen Buddhism has always believed that learning Buddhism is the process of cultivating the mind, and if you want to become a Buddha, you can't be attached, and all external images, including Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues, etc., Zen Buddhism rarely recites scriptures and worships Buddha. Zen Buddhism belongs to the school of practical practice, and in fact it is the closest to the view of the Buddha, who is an enlightened person, who himself is enlightened, and hopes that more people can become enlightened people like him.

Three: Zen Buddhism doesn't have too many classics for you to read, and it doesn't advocate how much you should learn. Because Zen Buddhism knows the principle of the simplicity of the Tao, the Tao is in the world, in our birth, it can be said that our sitting, lying and walking are all in the Tao, and sitting, lying and walking are also in practice.

True practice is not worshipping the Buddha, not chanting sutras, not meditating, but really doing a good job of people, doing things well, and putting your mind in place. Learning Buddhism is a process of letting go, the Buddha of Zen Buddhism is in the heart, and the Buddha is actually the self of future enlightenment, not a Buddha statue, nor is it a bald image. When the Buddha was alive, he did not advocate formalism.

Zen Buddhism seeks enlightenment, and it is to worship and respect the Buddha with practical actions, so Zen Buddhism pays attention to epiphany, which does not violate the original intention of Buddhism, but is a better inheritance of the Buddha's view.

Epiphany is said from reason, also known as enlightenment. Buddhism focuses on practical practice, and the Sixth Patriarch Huineng Master has already understood the "Diamond Sutra" as soon as he heard it, and through the study, including the fifteen years in the hunt, he is practicing and demonstrating. Practice is in terms of nature, and understanding is in terms of appearance.

No, Zen Buddhism is also a sect that has branched out in Buddhism, and it mainly focuses on enlightenment, whether it is epiphany or enlightenment, it is enlightenment.

Zen Buddhism is the source of Buddhism, and the source of the road to enlightenment and insight into the Buddha. It's just that the descendants don't have this foundation, so they lose their original opportunity. The other is the house of the Truth Descending Fire, that is, the home of the common people.

For example, when picking jade, the water flow seeds naturally do not need to be carved. The ore material cannot be made into a tool without cutting and pondering. It is also like a long pine that is 100 feet old and 1,000 years old, and it is sexual.

The soft grass is prosperous in spring and withered in autumn, which is also made by sex. Therefore, one Buddha is three times seven people, and the difference is different. Again, there are 84,000 methods, and Zen Buddhism is one of them, which is dedicated to connecting the upper roots.

The Zen door has a long history, starting with the Lingshan Festival, and the Buddha specially instructed the Venerable Dajiaye.

Yes, because I think Buddhism is more esoteric, and it is very difficult to have an epiphany on your own.

The epiphany is to enter the mountain gate of Buddhism directly, and the others are still in the mountain climbing stage, and they do not see the mountain gate.

Wisdom is the cause of past lives, and enlightenment is the result of this life. Hongchen cultivates meditation and purifies the heart to cross the red dust.

Only when the heart is empty can people be empty, and the heart must be completely understood, and only then will people be very clean and truly empty, which is called pure space. If there is nothing in your mind, that is, there is nothing in your mind, and there is no concept or concept that makes you feel that you can cling to, then you are an enlightened person. If you feel that you still have a lot of things that are mine and his, then you are still not enlightened.

The "enlightenment" in "enlightenment" is the meaning of "to perceive, to deeply understand, to penetrate, to understand";

"Zen" originally refers to "Chinese Buddhism."

The meaning of "Zen Dao". Therefore, "enlightenment" originally meant "to comprehend and perceive the truth of Zen Buddhism";

Later, "Wu Zen" was extended to mean: "taste, perceive, and comprehend the unfathomable truth".

There are different stages of enlightenment that do not require a degree.

1.Abstaining from alcohol and meat is an expression of compassion; Compassion is inherently sincere, and if it does not have sufficient joy and compassion, it will not be able to keep its true nature, and it will not be able to become a Buddha.

2.Even if you understand all kinds of Buddhist principles, but you don't have enough compassion and don't have full enlightenment, you will have attained the Hinayana Arhat status at the highest level.

3.As for the epiphany, as the benevolent person said, it is just to break through the initial level and see the personality; If you can keep this, you will be on the path to Buddhahood. Otherwise, it must be reversed.

In short, Buddha nature is the essence of compassion, and those who have realized the superior Buddha path walk like an ethereal path, and all things are born in nothing, even if they are ruthless and spiritual, they cannot bear to trample on them, let alone the flesh of sentient beings with causes. Of course, if you are enlightened and truthful, drinking alcohol is no different from drinking water. But the epiphany you speak of is only the beginning, and it is 108,000 miles away from enlightenment. How can you become a Buddha by drinking alcohol and eating meat?

Ridiculous! Sticking to the precepts left by the Buddha and purifying the mind and enlightening the path is the right path.

Why not eat meat? Because all sentient beings have been our parents, how can we bear to eat them? And if you don't have virtue to eat meat, you have to pay it back in the future, and it's easy to get drowsy when you eat meat.

Why can't you drink alcohol? Because alcohol hinders the heart.

Of course, this is all for unvirtuous beings. If you are virtuous, you can eat meat and drink wine (what is virtue?). It is the attainment of bodhichitta to a certain height).

When you can truly transcend and benefit sentient beings, you will be able to eat meat.

Wine can be drunk when it can be turned into nectar.

Epiphany is a sudden realization, not a method, and enlightenment is an epiphany.

So it's not right to divide enlightenment into epiphany and gradual enlightenment.

If you have profound Dharma, don't talk about drinking wine and eating meat, what if you get married and have children?

But not everyone has understanding, not everyone has profound Dharma, so it is also necessary to cultivate precepts, concentration, and wisdom.

None of them can break the precepts, because there is absolute retribution for these things, and the retribution is only for you, and you must accept the cruel consequences.

Believe in Buddhism, don't believe in stinky monks farting.

Who said that drinking wine and eating meat can still become a Buddha. I haven't heard of it, and there are still people who can succeed in practicing without taking the vows.

The epiphany of Zen Buddhism is the self-nature of the self-realization that the ten thousand dharmas are born from the self, and the ten thousand dharmas are inseparable from the self-nature. So-called: Seeing nature with a clear mind, seeing nature and becoming a Buddha. The enlightenment method of Zen Buddhism is a method that does not set up words, does not pretend to practice, and directly points to people's hearts, so that the present can be clear and insightful.

Therefore, the method of enlightenment in Zen Buddhism is not only not a way of thinking, but also must be separated from words in order to see nature. The so-called words are broken, and the heart and deeds are destroyed. 」

What is self-nature? That is, the Buddha-nature that everyone has in nature, that is, the Dharma-truth, the true mind, the Dharmakaya, the Dharma-realm, the Dharma-nature, the pure mind, the rigpa, and the Buddha-nature. That is, the Sixth Patriarch Huineng Master, when he was enlightened, said:

When the self-nature is self-pure, when the self-nature is not born and destroyed, when the self-nature is self-sufficient, when the self-nature is unshaken, and when the self-nature is born ten thousand laws.

How to see sex? Let go of all famous words and thoughts, return to the light, and see in the present, that is, the emptiness and purity of nature.

Amitabha!

Zen Tao generally refers to the path practiced by monks. It also refers specifically to the path of meditation.

Buddhism is informed"Fixed"One way to do this is Zen.

Song Yanyu's "Canglang Poetry: Poetry Discernment": "Most of the Zen Tao is only in the wonderful understanding, and the poetry is also in the wonderful understanding." ”

Yuanjue Sutra: Knowing illusion is leaving, not standing gradually.

Zen Buddhism: All the cultivation of the past tribulation is a false cultivation, and there is no gain.

The Great Prajna Sutra: Neither Buddha nor Bodhisattva exists, only Buddha nature, but Buddha nature cannot and cannot be lost.

Ranga Sutra: What is the Dharma of the Clouds?

It is said that the nature of the Dharma is like gold and so on in the mine, if the Buddha is born, if he is not born, the Dharma dwells in the Dharma position, and the Dharma realm and the Dharma nature are all permanent dwelling.

Great wisdom, for example, if someone walks in the wilderness, he sees the old road to the ancient city, even if he enters the game of rest.

Dahui, what is Yu Ruyun? Is he the Word and all the things that are in the city?

Bai Yan: No.

The Buddha said: What I and the Buddhas have proved is true, and so is the abiding Dharma.

Therefore, it is said that words begin with attaining Buddhahood and even nirvana, and they should not say a word in the middle, nor should they say anything.

At that time, the world respects and says:

One night to attain enlightenment, one night to nirvana, in between, I don't have anything to say.

Self-proof of the Dharma, pretending to be a secret language, I and such as coming, there is no difference.
