If you have already realized that the other person has no meaning, even if the snake awakens, the rope awakens is still there.
We used the wisdom of non-discrimination to break the association of external environment in our minds. At this time, we slowly realized that "that meaning is nothing". The meaning outside the mind is unattainable. The so-called gains and losses, lengths, and circles are all created by my associations, and the meaning of external environment does not exist.
At this time, the "snake awareness" is eliminated and the attachment to the external environment is eliminated, but the "rope awareness is still there". As long as you start to observe, the mind is unequal and still has opposition. Therefore, according to this kind of observation, the mind that has gained and subtle mind, the "rope" still exists, because when we see the rope, it means that it is not a table or a chair, because its essence is numb.
But hemp can be woven into ropes, tables, or chairs. Ropes are one of the functions of hemp.If we only develop attachments in the rope, then this is still a subtle attachment to Dharma.So at this time, although the rope is broken, there is still a clinging to the rope, and it should be further broken at this time.How to break it?
If you analyze it in detail, this is false, because color, sound, fragrance, taste, and touch are its appearance.This awareness is based on it, and the rope awareness should be destroyed.
How do we face the attachment of this rope?You need to observe further and use various different "categories" to "analyze".What kind of product is this rope made?It is "color, fragrance, taste, and touch". It is composed of four methods: color, fragrance, taste, and touch. Without these four methods, this rope no longer exists.
Therefore, using these four methods as a basis and "analyze" and observe, the attachment to the "rope" will gradually be eliminated. At this time, we will officially see the sage and realize the equality of perfection and reality.This place is about metaphor, from seeing the snake, then returning to the rope, and returning to the hemp.This is legal:
In this way, the six meanings of similar texts and similar meanings are subdued unless the six meanings are truly meanings, only consciousness is awakened.Just like a snake's awakening, it should be eliminated.
When we are breaking the associations in our hearts, we begin to use two-way associations to counteract one-way associations and make the heart equal. At this time, we "subdue" the differences in the "six" meanings of the external environment, and arouse the "consciousness-only awareness".
「"The consciousness-only awareness" means that the attachment of your observing mind is still there.What should I do?If you want to observe the mind that can actually observe, it is also a cause and condition that is manifested by the mind, because you can only have the power of observation when you listen to the Dharma and think rationally.
At this time, you should slowly keep this observation power equal. At this time, "it should be eliminated and eliminated" is also a law born from cause and condition, and its nature is ultimately empty.When we are breaking the universal attachment, we are from the outside to the inside and from the coarse to the finest. At the beginning, we must also abandon the wisdom that can be observed.
There is a Zen master who has been in seclusion for a long time and has great experience.A fellow Taoist fellow went to visit him and said: Zen Master, what is your artistic conception in recent years?The Zen master said: When I first started to practice in thatched hut, a cow was thrown away in my heart.Slowly, in the past few years, I have lost a fire in my heart. That's it, this is my artistic conception.At the beginning, we used the light of the torch to slowly subdue the bull. This bull is an external attachment to the outside world.
You are able to subdue your attachment to external environment at the beginning, which is the view of equality in your heart. You often use two-way negative thinking to smooth out your unequal one-way thinking;But in the end, the two-way thinking must be abandoned, and the fire must be abandoned.
Therefore, when we study the "Thirty Verses on Consciousness Only", one should enter the holy position, saying that "if one is at the point of view, one will gain nothing in wisdom, and then one will stay in Consciousness Only and be free from the two aspects of attainment."That is, in the end, "the wisdom you can gain nothing", the wisdom you can observe,
At the beginning, you were breaking the universal attachment. After this universal attachment was destroyed by you, you should also smooth out the wisdom you can observe.Therefore, this place says: "Just like a snake's awakening, it should be eliminated." This faith and understanding of consciousness and this wisdom of observation should also be slowly "eliminated".Finally, let's look at the summary:
Because of the complete real self-nature awareness.
This place begins to realize "completeness" and realizes the equality and non-dual realm of Dharma.The focus of the practice of heretics is on meditation.But you should know that if a person wants to practice meditation, he must stay away from the attachment of external environment. Therefore, in the first half of the work - breaking the attachment of external environment, Buddhist disciples and heretics are the same, and their convenience is different.
Meditation is to have an object in your mind, and then stay away from the attachment to the good and bad things in the external environment. The heretics use the power of cessation to get rid of the interference of the external environment. Buddhist disciples use observation. The difference is here, but the result is to escape from the external environment first.
However, after the heretics achieve meditation, they are free from the attachment of external environment. The inner meditation power, the attachment, and the meditation that can be observed have not disappeared. Therefore, the heretics have the thought of the great self when they achieve meditation, and they have the power to be free!What is different about Buddhist disciples is that after they break through the external environment from the two-way observation power, they must also abandon the wisdom of observation in order to enter the equal Dharma realm.
So everyone should know this place, otherwise it will become a big self-thinking idea.This section of enlightenment into the dependent origination is to break the mind that can be taken, and the wisdom that can be observed must be slowly subdued.
