What is a wordless canon? What is the meaning of the wordless scriptures

According to my guess, it must be a kind of secrecy that the ancients came up with, for example, there are some paintings in the book, and it contains some content, unless he knows how to unlock the code, or there is more than that. Or some special symbols, or there are mezzanines, etc.

If you can recite the scriptures until there are no words to read, it is the true meaning of the scriptures, so it is called the wordless scriptures.

The dream of human dreams, the meaning of dreams is the wordless scripture.

It should be able to be seen by someone who is destined to see it.

In "Journey to the West", there are three reasons why Tang Seng is given a wordless scriptureFirst, the author Wu Chengen wanted to express the state of mind of "selflessness" for people with hearts, second, Tang Seng at that time no longer needed to have written scriptures, and third, Sun Wukong offended the two spirits who managed the scriptures at that time. For the above three reasons, Wu Chengen let Tang Seng take the "wordless scripture".

The reason why Tang Seng got the wordless scriptures was because of the infiltration, which was deliberately arranged by the author Wu Chengen. The bridge passage of the wordless scripture is an allusion used by the author Wu Chengen, called Nian Hua Yixiao. At that time, in Lingshan, Shakyamuni Buddha took out a flower for everyone to see, and only the Venerable Kasa Ye smiled after reading it, because only he understood the meaning of the flower, which was used by Shakyamuni Buddha to express the meaning of "speechless", because when he became a Buddha, the Dharma was already in his heart, and there were no longer those so-called rules and regulations.

And what about Tang Seng at that time? He didn't need those so-called written scriptures for a long time, because he had already become a Buddha. What is the reason why Tang monks and apprentices can become Buddhas?

Because of the acquisition of the true scriptures? In fact, it is not, what makes Tang Seng a Buddha is not those scriptures, but the road full of difficulties and dangers and as long as 108,000 miles, Tang Seng does not understand, but the Buddha understands that he knows that Tang Seng needs not scriptures, or he knows that Tang Seng does not need scriptures, because the Buddha already exists in Tang Seng's heart.

Finally, the "Wordless Sutras" section is also using an oolong incident to tell readers that scriptures can imprison people's minds, but those who become Buddhas will not be imprisoned, because the Buddha is in people's hearts.

At that time, the two spirits who managed the scriptures begged for something like Tang monks and apprentices, but the Tang monks and apprentices had nothing, so they refused, so they got the wordless scriptures, which was also an oolong incident to skillfully integrate the idea of "selflessness".

The five-character mantra, or five-character mantra, namely: Ah Luo lame left.

From "Vajra Peak Super Victory in the Three Realms Sutra Says Manjushri Five-Character Mantra Victory":

Then Vajrapani, Bodhisattva, Mahasattva, and all other bodhisattvas. All in front of the Buddha Virujana. Each of them speaks the truth of their hearts...

In this way, there are four congregations. A gathering of the general assembly. Say this mantra with the same sound.

Now samadhi samadhi. I'm going to talk a little bit about it today. Knowing that its merits are immeasurable.

That is, the five-character mantra says: Ah Lo lame left.

As for the "wordless scripture", if it was passed on to Tang Seng in the West Heaven back then, it was indeed wordless, but it was a genuine "scripture". When the 81 difficulties were consummated, Tang Seng returned to Dongtu and went to see Tang Taizong, it had already become a "true scripture with words". Tang Seng suggested that Tang Taizong:

If the Lord wants to spread the true scriptures to the world, he must make a copy of the transcription before he can distribute them. Originally, it should be treasured and should not be desecrated. Taizong smiled

The words of the royal brother are very appropriate! Very much! Of course, to transcribe a set of copies, by no means as simple as "five words", Tang Seng set up a translation institute in Chang'an, and it took 8 years to complete the translation of one of the 600 volumes of the Great Prajna Sutra alone.

I think the wordless scriptures would be a little better. Because there is no word scripture, he has no words, he needs to read the scripture to comprehend, but there are some people with low talent, so he may not be able to comprehend the true meaning of the wordless scripture. So if there are words and scriptures, they will be easier to understand.

Burning the lamp felt that the people in the east were very stupid and unintelligent, and they couldn't read the wordless scriptures.

Yes, although there are many languages and words in the world, they cannot express the true Dharma in its entirety, and what can be spoken and written can only be a small part of the Dharma.

No, the definition of Dharma is different in everyone's mind. In my opinion, having a Buddha in my heart is naturally the true Dharma.

The Dharma that can be expressed in words is Hinayana Buddhism, and the wordless scriptures belong to Mahayana Buddhism.

Under normal circumstances, wordless scriptures need to be comprehended with heart, that is to say, only those who have deeply comprehended the most quintessential Taoism can read this kind of wordless love letters, of course, it is impossible to pass them out casually.

Because wordless scriptures are more precious than wordless scriptures, and secondly, if you want to understand wordless scriptures, you must first have a great wisdom root, so it is not easy to teach wordless scriptures to others.

Master Huineng of the Sixth Ancestor said:

All the ten thousand laws are in your heart, why not suddenly appear as true as your nature from your own heart!

The nature of the world is self-purifying, and all laws are in their own nature.

If it is all the Dharma, it is all in its own nature. Self-nature is always pure, the sun and the moon are always bright, only for the clouds to cover, the top is bright and the bottom is dark, and the sun, moon and stars cannot be seen. Suddenly, the wind blew away, rolled away the clouds and mist, and all things appeared at one time.

The nature of the world is pure, like a clear sky, wisdom is like the sun, wisdom is like the moon, wisdom is always clear, in the external realm, delusion is covered with clouds, and self-nature cannot be clear. Therefore, when encountering good knowledge, opening the true Dharma, blowing away delusion, being clear inside and outside, in the self-nature, all the Dharma is seen, and all the Dharma is in the self-nature, which is called the pure Dharma Body.

Therefore, when you reach a certain level, you should not even be attached to words and words, or even the "Dharma", and everything depends on your own heart to confirm it. Hearts speak louder than words.
