(two )The worldly respected
Subhuti!If there is this sutra everywhere, all the world, heaven, man, and Asuras should offer it;You should know that this place is a tower, and you should be respectful and circumscribed with rituals, and disperse the fragrance of flowers and fragrances.Always say: All sentient beings;Don’t say: the three good realms.Heaven, man, Asura.Some people think that Asura is a sentient being in the evil realms;But some people also think that even if Asura is good, he will have great blessings in the six realms, but he has a relatively strong temper.The identity of the Three Good Realms is something that many people want to get.It is said here that sentient beings in the three good realms should offer to the Diamond Sutra.Where there is the Prajna Sutra is where there is a pagoda.The past pagodas were used to place Buddha's relics.Although the Buddha has been destroyed, the Dharma of Prajna has been left. The place where there is the Prajna sutra is where the Buddha's Dharma body is, so it should be worshiped and surrounded, and it is worth offering it with various flower fragrances here.In Buddhism, right-handed circumference is a manifestation of respect.When we walk around the pagoda and sutra in the temple, we should turn right, not left.Tantra believes that left-handedness means subtraction, and right-handedness means gain.In ancient India, monks wore cassocks and only had their right shoulders exposed to do things, and faced the Buddha with their right hand to indicate that they were willing to serve the Buddha, so it was very polite to turn right.
(three )Transform and eliminate sins and karma
Again, Subhuti!If a good man or a good woman upholds and recites this sutra, if he is despised by others, he will fall into the evil path because he is despised by others in this world. Because he is despised by others in this world, his sins will be eliminated and he will attain the Anuttara Samyaksambodhi.
1、Why can sin be eliminated
The Prajna Sutra has the effect of eliminating sins.Some people may think: Will you still be looked down upon by others and encounter obstacles after observing the Diamond Sutra?Sometimes there will be.Why?Buddhism and the world emphasize different ideas.When you learn Buddhism, some people will laugh at you: "Look at you, you are so old-fashioned and superstitious."Believing in Prajna does not necessarily lead to recognition from the world.What the world recognizes is wealth, sex, fame, food and sleep.But we must firmly believe that believing in Prajna may not necessarily increase your wealth and power, but it will definitely eliminate your inner sins.Where did our sin come from?What is karma?Karma means creation.Karma is the impact of our body, speech and mind actions on life.Our karma comes from the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance.The three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance arise because we have attachments.We will be greedy if we think something is good;If someone doesn’t let us get what we want, we will be angry;We are still very stupid and do not understand the truth of life.Attachment causes us to sin and cause us to have all kinds of troubles.When we learn the Prajna Sutra and understand the truth about the emptiness of dependent origination, the grievances in our hearts can be eliminated, and greed, anger, and ignorance will be eliminated.Some methods can only cure hatred, while others can only cure greed, while all troubles in the Prajna method will disappear when encountering it.Among all methods of eliminating sins, Prajna is the most thorough and powerful.Therefore, even though we have upheld the Prajna Dharma, although we may be despised by others, we can eliminate sins and obtain supreme Bodhi in the future.
2、Learning Buddhism brings spiritual and material abundance
Here, I want to ask you a question.Do we Buddhists must be poor?If you are no longer attached to everything and let go, will it affect your life, wealth, and family? (Everyone was shaking their heads and saying no. ) Why not? (A classmate said, “There is a white hair shining on us.” )What you mean is that the Buddha has the blessing of white light, how much does he give to the Buddhist disciples?Let’s talk about other students. (A classmate said: "Because we have learned Buddhism, we have become more wise, able to handle interpersonal relationships well, and do things better.” )The answer is very good, then verify it in life. (A classmate said: "Give up what should be given up, get what should be obtained.” )This answer is very interesting.Sometimes problems arise when you get something you shouldn't get.Therefore, knowing how to let go is a kind of wisdom. (A classmate said, “We have already got everything in the universe.” )Yes, we have never lost anything!It is our persistence that separates us from the world.If you truly understand Buddhism, you will definitely not be a poor person who cannot even solve the problem of food and clothing.Why do people fall to the point of poverty?There are only two reasons.One is laziness, the other is malignant.Some people are lazy, unwilling to work, unwilling to study, and unwilling to contribute, how can they make progress?Some people’s failure comes from violent personality and cannot get along with others.Studying Buddhism can cure laziness and eliminate evil.People who study Buddhism may not be millionaires, but they can definitely get material and spiritual sufficient.If you don’t get it, you should still reflect on yourself. Have you really implemented Buddhism?Buddhism is very special.In the scriptures, Buddhism is like sugar cane, with sweet roots, sweet middle, and sweet ends.When you start learning, you can cure your worries.In the middle, you can continuously increase your blessings and wisdom.In the end, you can obtain liberation and Buddhahood.
3、Another test of merit
Below is another proofreading of merit.Subhuti!I recite the countless kalpas of Asankhya Khya Khaha in the past, and in front of the Buddha Lantern, I have all offered to all the Buddhas of Nayuta. If there is no empty mistake, if there is a person who can uphold and recite this sutra in the last days, the merits obtained from the Buddhas I offer are less than one, tens of millions of billions of points, and even the metaphors cannot reach.Here, we no longer use the gift of our body and life to measure it, but use the merits that the Buddha has cultivated in his past lives to measure it.The Buddha was given a prophecy when he was in the Lantern Buddha, and before the Lantern Buddha, he had offered and served 840 trillion Nayuta Buddhas, and his merits were immeasurable.However, it is not as good as someone in the last days (That is our era )The merits obtained by upholding, reading and reciting this sutra.This shows how great the merit we have obtained.But don’t forget that what he said here is the offering he made before the Lanlan Buddha.When the Buddha of Lantern, he attained the state of non-birth. The offerings he made were offerings corresponding to Prajna, so we would not be as good as him.The Buddha personally realized Prajna, and what we have now obtained is the Prajna of Words.Some fellow practitioners may begin to observe emptiness in their minds and minds, and have some observational Prajna.We have not yet attained the true Prajna, and even so, the merits are already very extraordinary.In the Diamond Sutra, the Buddha repeatedly advised us to develop faith and joy.
3. Unbelievable sigh
Subhuti!If a good man or a good woman has received merits from the later days of the last days, I will be able to uphold and recite this sutra, and if I have said it, someone will hear it, my heart will be crazy and suspicious and unbelief.Subhuti!You should know that the meaning of this sutra is incredible, and the consequences are also incredible.In this regard, Master Sengzhao said: "If you understand the vastness of people, you will have no cliff to virtue;The vastness of the vastness is deep, and the meaning is difficult to predict;How can the wonderful fruit of Bodhi be discussed by the mind?” At this point, in the Diamond Sutra, the entire stage of the Prajna Path has been perfected.Below we begin to enter the stage of convenient paths.
Convenient Path
Another cycle of reincarnation.Go back to the question asked earlier: "How should we stay there?How to subdue his heart?” The stage of the convenient path begins with Bodhi of enlightenment, then comes out of Bodhi, and finally comes ultimate Bodhi.Bodhi of the mind - Bodhi of the mind - Bodhi of the mind, and to enter the true emptiness, is the end of the path of Prajna.And the Bodhi of enlightenment is the beginning of the stage of the convenient path, which is what Zen Buddhism calls enlightenment and practice.After entering emptiness, do not be attached to emptiness, but should produce falsehood from emptiness.Because understanding the principle of dependent origination and emptiness can reveal infinite and vast deeds.From the Bodhi of the Pure Mind to the Bodhi of Bodhi, gradually increasing, reaching the ultimate Bodhi, it means that the Buddha's fruit is perfect.This is the entire process of the convenient path.The Buddha first taught the order, and then persuaded him to follow him, telling everyone how to believe, accept and practice.
1. Demonstration
(one )Bodhi of enlightenment
1、True Bodhicitta
At that time, Subhuti said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One!Good men and women, how can they stay with the mind of Anuttara Samyaksambodhi?How to subdue his heart?"The Buddha told Subhuti: "Good men and women who develop the Anuttara Samyaksambodhi mind should have such a mind, and I should destroy all sentient beings.It has already saved all sentient beings, but there is no sentient being who has actually saved them.Why?Subhuti!If a Bodhisattva has the appearance of self, human, sentient beings, and longevity, then he is not a Bodhisattva.What is that?Subhuti!There is actually no Dharma that produces Anuttara Samyaksambodhi.” The previous paragraph is almost the same as what is said in the Bodhi of Aspiration.But there is another sentence afterwards: "Subhuti!There is actually no Dharma that produces Anuttara Samyaksambodhi."In the content of Bodhi of the Aspiration of Bodhi, it is about accelerating Bodhicitta.When we get here, we tell us that even the Bodhicitta is empty.Therefore, the judgment here is "true development of bodhicitta".The question of the previous article is about the desire to achieve the goal of saving all sentient beings by making a vow, which is the secular bodhicitta.Here, from deep understanding of the selflessness, seeing the Tathagata's Dharma body, and developing the mind from the same compassion and wisdom, it is the "true Buddha's son".The bodhicitta based on great compassion is always the same, and it is only different from similar enlightenment and true enlightenment.The process of practice: First observe all the objects of interest, such as form, sound, and sentient beings such as humans and heavenly beings, but because the corresponding self-attachment of the self cannot be blocked, it has not yet been realized;Going further, looking at the unattainable things of those who develop bodhicitta and practice bodhisattvas, even the mind cannot be obtained, and then they can realize emptiness.Madhyamaka broadly understands that all self and dharmas are empty, and that is free from what I and I hold, is the only way to enter the Dharma.
2、Achieve Bodhi Fruit
If you truly develop the Bodhicitta and realize the true reality of Prajna, you will have attained the fruit of Bodhi.“…Subhuti!What do you mean by your intention?Will the Tathagata at the Buddha’s place of the Lantern Buddha obtain Anuttara Samyaksambodhi?"No, World Honored One!As I understand the meaning of the Buddha, there is no way to attain Anuttara Samyaksambodhi in the Buddha's place."The Buddha said: "So, so!Subhuti!There is actually no Dharma Tathagata attained the Anuttara Samyaksambodhi.Subhuti!If there is a Dharma Tathagata who attains Anuttara Samyaksambodhi, then the Lamp Buddha will not give me a prophecy: You will be able to become a Buddha in the next life, and you are called Sakyamuni.Because there is no Dharma to attain Anuttara Samyaksambodhi, the Lamp Buddha gave me the prophecy and said this: "You should become a Buddha in the next life, named Sakyamuni."'Why?The Tathagata is the meaning of all dharmas.If someone says: The Tathagata attains Anuttara Samyaksambodhi, Subhuti!There is no Dharma Buddha who has attained Anuttara Samyaksambodhi.Subhuti!The Anuttara Samyaksambodhi obtained by the Tathagata is thus neither real nor empty, so the Tathagata said that all dharmas are Buddhist Dharma.Subhuti!All dharmas mentioned are not all dharmas, so they are called all dharmas.…” We saw that this place is different from the previous one, and we talked about the fruit field directly.Has the Tathagata obtained a real Dharma from the Buddha Lan Deng and achieved supreme Bodhi?Subhuti said, no.Remember that there is no form. (It is precisely because of the practice of the formless method that I was given a prophecy. )In the formless state, there is nothing to gain.If you see that there is a Dharma, then you will be deviated from Bodhi, so how can you remember it? (If you feel that there is something to grab, it is contrary to Bodhi. )If there is a form, it will be contrary; if there is no form, it will be in line. If there is a form, it will be in line, so it is best to remember it.Because the Buddha got nothing, the Buddha Lanlan gave him a prophecy.If he still gained something, the Buddha of Lan Deng would not give him a prophecy.But here we should also pay attention to it, and we should not think that the Buddha has not obtained anything or practiced any Dharma.So the following talks about "no reality and no fictitiousness".We have always argued that there is gain and that there is no gain and that there is no right. (To talk about gaining nothing is to cure the mind that gains something.But it does not mean that there is such a so-called gainless thing. )Send the right to understand the wrong, and the wrong means that there is the right.He looked for words and said this, so he sent it back. (If you are attached to nothing and think that the Buddha has obtained nothing, it is also wrong. )Once the right and wrong are over, you will be able to achieve Bodhi.In Bodhi, no right or wrong can be seen.If it is not true, there is nothing wrong, and if it is not false, there is nothing wrong.Buddhism is neither real nor virtual, and it transcends the existence and non-existence.It is precisely because we are not attached to all dharmas that the nature of all dharmas is established.All dharmas are empty in nature, they are manifestations of emptiness, not real.All dharmas confirm the Dharma, so all dharmas are Buddhist dharmas.This is from the point of view.But just because all dharmas are Buddhist teachings, we cannot say that the views of heretics are also Buddhist teachings.This tells us the nature of all dharmas, but we cannot become attached to it either.I am afraid that you will become attached, so I immediately deny it: "All the dharmas mentioned are not all dharmas, so it is called all dharmas.”
(two )Out of Bodhi
1、Achieve Dharma Body
The following is the content that comes from Bodhi.Let's look at the scriptures.“Subhuti!It's like growing up in a human body."Subhuti said: "World-Honored One!Tathagata said that growing up a human body is not a great body, but is called a great body."The great body mentioned by Tathagata, which is created by the illusion of the ultimate emptiness of the Dharma nature, does not have the true nature of the great body.To realize that the Dharma is empty, and to use the pure merits and vows as the cause, it becomes this solemn and unique body, falsely called it like an illusion, so it is called the great body.Here, the attachment to the Dharma body is broken.
2、Mature living beings
“Subhuti!The same is true for Bodhisattvas.If I say this, I will destroy countless sentient beings, and I will not be called a Bodhisattva.Why?Subhuti, there is no Dharma called Bodhisattva.Therefore, the Buddha said: All dharmas have no self, no people, no sentient beings, and no life.…” When the Bodhisattva saves sentient beings, he said: I will save countless sentient beings.Then you should hold that there are Bodhisattvas who can save and sentient beings you save, and you will not deserve to be called Bodhisattvas.Speaking of this, the realm is very deep, and they are all the realm of great bodhisattvas.
3、The solemn Buddha land “…Subhuti!If the Bodhisattva says this: I should adorn the Buddha's land, and I am not called a Bodhisattva.Why?The Tathagata said that those who adorn the Buddha's land are not adornment, but are called adornment.…” The practice of strictly controlling the earth and helping things is convenient and wisdom.To understand emptiness and formlessness is called wisdom;If you don’t have any attachment to fate, it is called convenience.The soil is self-hardened without existence in transformation. (If you do not attach yourself to saving sentient beings and adorn your country, and the land will appear based on the conditions, it will be just a perfect achievement of adornment. ) “……Subhuti!If a Bodhisattva understands the selflessness and Dharma, the Tathagata calls him a true Bodhisattva.” The so-called true Bodhisattva is initiated by compassion and wishes, and then he can achieve success after obtaining Prajna.
(three )Ultimate Bodhi
Begin to enter the fruit land with the merits.There are ten aspects in total.Among them, there are six aspects of "full realization of the merits of the Dharma Body": complete knowledge and insight, numerous blessings, complete body appearance, full Dharma sounds, extraordinary believers, and complete enlightenment;"Demonstration of Incarnation Career" has four aspects: transforming ordinary people, manifesting incarnation, living in the vast world, and speaking of the teaching of no self.
1、Achieve the merits of the Dharma body
(1)Knowledge and insight are perfect
“Subhuti!What do you mean by your intention?Does Tathagata have the naked eye?"So, World Honored One!Tathagata has the naked eye."Subhuti, what do you mean?Does the Tathagata have the eyes of the heavenly beings?"So, World Honored One!Tathagata has a divine eye."Subhuti!What do you mean by your intention?Does the Tathagata have a wise eye?"So, World Honored One!Tathagata has wisdom eyes."Subhuti!What do you mean by your intention?Does the Tathagata have the eyes of Dharma?"So, World Honored One, Tathagata has the eyes of Dharma."Subhuti!What do you mean by your intention?Does the Tathagata have the eyes of a Buddha?"So, World Honored One!Tathagata has Buddha's eyes."The Buddha talked about so much about gain and formlessness before. He was afraid that sentient beings would think that becoming a Buddha means having nothing or knowing nothing, just like a wooden stake. So at this time, he told everyone that the Buddha has complete knowledge and insight, and has complete naked eyes, heavenly eyes, wisdom eyes, Dharma eyes, and Buddha eyes, which is very special.The naked eye and the heavenly eye are the level of the color method;The wisdom eye, Dharma eye, and Buddha eye belong to the level of wisdom and belong to the mind method.Related explanations in the "Great Wisdom Treatise": The naked eye can see the near but not the far, the front but not the back, the outside but not the inside, the day can see the night, the top can see the bottom.Because of this, I seek the eyes of heaven.It is the sky eye, and it can be seen from far and near.There is no obstacle in front, back, inside, outside, day and night, and up and down.It is the heavenly eye that sees harmony and causes and conditions that give birth to false names, but does not see the reality.The so-called emptiness, formlessness, no action, no birth and no death.Just like the front, middle and back.For the sake of reality, seek wisdom.If you have a wise eye, you will not see sentient beings, you will destroy all the strange appearances, abandon all attachments, and not receive all dharmas.Wisdom is destroyed from the inside, which is called wisdom eye.But the wise eyes cannot save sentient beings.What is that?Because there is no distinction.Therefore, I seek the Dharma eye.The Dharma eye allows people to practice, the Dharma and obtain the Tao, and know that all sentient beings have their own convenient doors, so that they can attain enlightenment.The Dharma eye cannot be omniscient and convenient for saving sentient beings, so I seek the Buddha eye. (The great Bodhisattva enters the false from emptiness and gains the Dharma eye. ) The Buddha's eyes do not know anything, but even though the obstacles are hidden, they can see and know everything.It is very far away from me and is close to Buddha.It is revealed in the darkness of the rest, and it is revealed in the Buddha.I am doubtful and decided by the Buddha.In the rest of the world, it is the Buddha's side.It is very deep in me and very shallow in Buddha.The Buddha's eyes cannot hear anything, see everything, know everything, make things difficult for nothing, and think about everything, and the Buddha's eyes always shine in all dharmas. (With the Buddha's eyes, true knowledge and insight are complete and clear, emptiness and falsehood are the same, and reach the middle way. ) “Subhuti!What do you mean by your intention?Like all the sand in the Ganges River, does the Buddha say it is sand?"So, World Honored One!Tathagata says it is sand."Subhuti!What do you mean by your intention?Like all the sand in the Ganges River, there are such sands in the Ganges River. Is there all the sands in the Ganges River? How about such a lot of the Buddha world?"There are so many, World Honored Ones!"The Buddha told Subhuti: "The Tathagata knows all the sentient beings in the land of this country.Why?The Tathagata said that all minds are not minds, and this is called minds.What is that?Subhuti!The past heart is unavailable, the present heart is unavailable, and the future heart is unavailable.…” Here we explain why the Buddha’s knowledge and views are perfect.Most of us cannot even understand our own hearts, let alone other people's hearts. It is difficult to achieve their minds.Why can the Buddha understand the minds of all sentient beings?The hearts of sentient beings without self-nature are no different in the equal air.The Buddha can ultimately realize the unnatural mind of dependent origination, so he "gets nothing and has nothing to do", sees nothing but sees everything, and in an instant, all omniscient knowledge.Buddha gains nothing, so he obtains everything.There is a saying that "a leaf obstructs the eyes and cannot see the forest". The ego is like the leaf obstructing the eyes, making it impossible for us to understand the hearts of sentient beings together.The Buddha let go of his attachments, and all the Dharma appearances of the Dharma were clearly presented to him.The Tao Te Ching says "nothing can do nothing but nothing can happen", which also has this meaning.Next, why is the mind empty?"The past heart cannot be obtained, the present heart cannot be obtained, and the future heart cannot be obtained."We break our attachment to our heart and our attachment to the three lives.Some people believe that the past, present and future are real, and the past heart, present heart and future heart have their own essence. From this point of view, this is common.Some people also believe that there is no past or future, but the present is real, which is a fall into the view of vanishing.Some people also believe that the phenomenon of the mind is false, but behind the mind is a "true heart" or soul that shows various cognitive functions, which Madhyamaka does not believe that this is true.What is the heart?The mind is empty in nature, changing in an instant, like flowing water, with similar continuities.Don't be attached to its reality.The past has been destroyed, the future has not arrived yet, and the present cannot be stopped.You can experience this principle.When you are angry and think that people cannot get along with you, you should think: "The past heart cannot be obtained, the present heart cannot be obtained, and the future heart cannot be obtained."It is also unavailable for him to deal with your heart.Then, you will have a larger spiritual space to deal with it.If you are attached to his heart, your heart will be disturbed and will rise and fall.Whether it is love or hatred, it is unattainable.We must face everything with a calm mind.Buddhism is really wonderful.
(2)Many blessings
“Subhuti!What do you mean by your intention?If someone fills the seven treasures of the three thousand great thousand worlds to use donations, will he be blessed by this cause and condition?"So, World Honored One!This person has gained a lot of blessings because of this cause and condition."Subhuti!If there is real blessings and virtues, the Tathagata will not say that there is much blessings and virtues;Because there is no reason for blessings and virtues, the Tathagata said that there is much blessings and virtues.…” Please note that this section is not a proofreading.This is a metaphor.The Buddha has achieved infinite blessings, but blessings have no self-nature.If blessings have real self-nature, they are limited and substantial, and they cannot be called many.Because of the lack of blessings, if the donor can correspond to Prajna and donate everything without taking appearances, then he can penetrate the three realms and spread across the ten directions, and achieve infinite and pure Buddha merits.That's all!Giving a lamp with a mind that is not attached to appearances will also have immeasurable merit.If you are not attached to the appearance, there is no difference between offering one lamp and offering ten lamps.He will offer as many lamps as he is allowed to offer.He will not be obsessed with offering one more or one less, everything will go with the flow.Give as you like, save as you like, have no form to make your mind, and have unlimited merits.
(3)Full body shape
“Subhuti!What do you mean by your intention?Can Buddha possess the physical body view?"No, World Honored One!Tathagata should not possess the full view of the physical body.Why?Tathagata said that having a complete physical body is not a complete physical body, but is called a complete physical body."Subhuti!What do you mean by your intention?Can the Tathagata have all the encounters?"No, World Honored One!Tathagata should not possess all appearances.Why?Tathagata said that all appearances are complete, which means they are not complete. This is called all appearances."The Tathagata has achieved the thirty-two forms, even the Dharma body, reward body, and incarnation body, and infinite and boundless special body forms. However, the Tathagata should not see it with the full body form.Because the full body appearance of the Tathagata is manifested by inaction, and the cause and name are false, but ultimately without self-nature.Therefore, it cannot be said that it is actually physical, but it is just a pseudonym to provide.Therefore, do not become attached to the Tathagata's body.
(4)The Dharma sounds are everywhere
“Subhuti!Don’t say that the Tathagata is doing this: I should have something to say.Don’t think of this!Why?If a person says that the Tathagata has said something, it is to slander the Buddha and cannot understand what I say.Subhuti!The preacher cannot speak, it is called preaching.” The true reality of the Dharma is free from words and cannot be expressed.It is impossible to say, but the hypothesis follows the common sense, so that sentient beings can understand that they cannot say from their words. This is called preaching.The true reality of all dharmas realized by the Tathagata is indeed indescribable.Just like eating oranges, can the taste of oranges be expressed in words?Actually, it's not possible, that's an experience.You can only follow the hypothesis: "Soth sour, sweet, with a little aroma.” It is precisely because it is impossible to say that the Dharma sounds are everywhere.Bodhisattvas who have realized the Dharma nature can be used to preach the Dharma without pursuing and responding to the opportunity of sentient beings at any time and anywhere, and present themselves as they appear.Ordinary people and little Bodhisattvas need to think about their teachings, and think about it in their hearts and how to explain it.The Buddha and the great Bodhisattvas are not false to seek and observe. What kind of questions do you ask and what kind of nature do you have? They can immediately respond to the opportunity anytime, anywhere, and even change different body forms to explain the Dharma.There are often records in the "Agama Sutra" that when monks were meditating, a monk encountered difficulties and had a mistake in his mind, and the Buddha would suddenly turn to him and preach to him, and this monk achieved the fruit.The Buddha is filled with Dharma sounds.The same is true for us chanting Buddha’s name.All living beings remember the Buddha and recite the Buddha's name, and now they will see the Buddha after all.If two people recite the Buddha's name at the same time, two people can see the Buddha at the same time.Is Buddha one or two?This is called "Thousands of rivers have water and thousands of rivers and moons."As long as there is water, the shadow of the moon can appear.As long as you remember the Buddha and recite the Buddha's name, your heart is in harmony with the Buddha, and he will appear with the power to preach to you, and you will be able to receive the Buddha's blessing and have a sense of emotion with the Buddha.It is not surprising that practitioners have many responses to chanting Buddha’s name.Because the Tathagata and the Great Bodhisattva themselves have such abilities.
(5)Believers are very victorious
At that time, Subhuti said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One!There are many sentient beings who hear this Dharma in the future, but will they develop faith?"The Buddha said: "Subhuti!He is not sentient beings, nor is he not sentient beings.Why?Subhuti!Those who are sentient beings, the Tathagata said that they are not sentient beings, but are called sentient beings.” According to the Prajna Sutra, the teachings of Buddhas that ordinary people see are all incarnation preaching, not the Dharma body of the true Buddha.Only great Bodhisattvas can see the Buddha's Dharmakaya preaching.The Vast-Christian Discourse says: "Those who are not sentient beings are not without holy bodies.Those who do not have a holy body are not ordinary people.Those who are not sentient beings have holy bodies, because they are not ordinary sentient beings, and not sacred sentient beings."The Dharma body spreads the Dharma sound everywhere at all times and everywhere. Those who can personally see the Buddha's Dharma body, listen to the Dharma body preaching, and be able to produce pure faith are great Bodhisattvas, no longer ordinary sentient beings.These great Bodhisattvas can be said to be not sentient beings because they are not sentient beings of ordinary people;It can also be said that they are sentient beings, because they are sentient beings in the holy body and extraordinary sentient beings.Ordinary sentient beings are sentient beings whose five aggregates are combined, and they are reborn in the samsara of reincarnation.And the great Bodhisattva is no longer like this.However, they still save sentient beings in the samsara with compassion and wisdom, so we can also pretend to call them sentient beings.The great Bodhisattvas listen to the sutras and Dharma all the time, and communicate with the Buddha at all times.
(6)True enlightenment completes
Subhuti said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One!Is the Buddha who attained Anuttara Samyaksambodhi so that he gained nothing?"The Buddha said: "So, so!Subhuti!I have no few methods to obtain from Anuttara Samyaksambodhi, and this is called Anuttara Samyaksambodhi.Again, Subhuti!This Dharma is equal and has no high or low. This is called Anuttara Samyaksambodhi.If one has no self, no person, no sentient beings, no life, practices all good deeds and attains the Anuttara Samyaksambodhi.Subhuti!The good deeds mentioned are not good deeds, but are called good deeds.…” This paragraph talks about the enlightenment of Tathagata.Although the supreme enlightenment is the same as all dharmas, its nature is empty and quiet, and it is equal and equal.But according to the cause and effect of emptiness, it is like this.The supreme enlightenment must possess two great Dharmas and be perfected: First, with the wisdom of Prajna, we do not attach to the four aspects of self, human form, sentient being form, and longevity form;The second is to practice all good deeds such as giving, precepts, and forbearance, and accumulate boundless blessings.The Buddha was afraid that when we heard that all dharmas were empty, he would not practice anything. Therefore, he clearly told us here: Only by being free from all appearances and practicing all goodness can we become a Buddha.After hearing this, we must practice all good deeds, and we should not be attached to good deeds.Because good deeds are caused by dependent origination.Under certain circumstances, it is a good deed.Sometimes, we think that we have practiced good deeds, but in fact, it brings harm.Therefore, we must observe the origin of dependent origination everywhere and cannot be attached to it everywhere.You see, the Diamond Sutra is closely linked and very well said.“…Subhuti!If all the kings of Mount Sumeru in the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds gather in such seven treasures, some people will give alms.If a person uses this Prajna Paramita Sutra and even four verses to uphold, read and recite it for others, his blessings and virtues are less than one hundred thousand billion points, and even arithmetics cannot reach.” Here, the Buddha summarized it.We must believe, accept and practice.
Dedicate today's merits to all sentient beings and the supreme Buddhahood: May this merit be popularized to all, and we and sentient beings all achieve Buddhahood together.
