Delusion is the shadow of the heart

Old Monk Foyuan 2020-12-20

Some people are afraid of life and death, some are afraid of entering the meditation hall, and they are afraid of hard work in practicing and practicing Taoism!In fact, the happiest way of working hard, so the practitioner is also called the Taoist without heart, free and free from worries and obstacles.

Practice means having wisdom. You must have wisdom in distinguishing between good or bad things. If you are greedy for playing and eating, you will get sick.He just got bad. He didn't eat, so he went out to buy biscuits and candy, and he had problems with it.I don’t dare to eat what I give to you now!Did you see that the oil was eaten badly by many people. The oil was taken from the rotten water bucket. The oil was cooked and the oil floated up. Then put some things and it turned into cooking oil. Take it for eating. Do you think it's short of life?Do you get sick?

Therefore, you monks must have wisdom. Greed, anger and ignorance are from the three poisons. Don’t be afraid of death, why are you afraid of death?I am afraid that I can’t make the decision, and the monks’ own destiny is their own. Death is karma and cannot be escaped.

When Shakyamuni Buddha was alive, Maudgalyayana was the best in supernatural powers and could not escape karma. He was stoned to death by the heretics because of gang struggles.When Maudgalyayana walked there, everyone was very respectful to him and offered him all kinds of offerings. However, no one offered to those heretics, had no food or clothing, and had no choice but to know where he passed by that day, so he beat him to death.

Why doesn't he use supernatural powers?Did he forget that he had supernatural powers?No, he had killed them in his past life and knew that his life debt must be repaid.

《The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch says: If sentient beings come to plant, the fruits will be born again in the cause and the fruits will be born;There is no ruthlessness and no seed, and there is no nature and no birth.We are sitting in the meditation hall now, and what we are under is Bodhi seeds. It doesn’t matter if we are not enlightened. It’s like picking up soil. I will pick a bunch of them today and a bunch of them tomorrow. Can’t we pick a mountain in our lifetime?Once the foundation is laid, the more you pick the piles of soil, the deeper you cultivate your skills, what will you become if you don’t become a Buddha?

You are unwilling to do it now and you are unwilling to bear the land. How can you build your merit forest?How can the foundation be solid?So don’t be afraid of not being enlightened, and don’t think about enlightenment. It’s useless to think about it. When the time comes, you will naturally be enlightened, like boiling water. When the degree is boiled, it will be opened, and it will not be opened until it reaches that degree.

When we are in the seventh grade, we are truly enlightened and see our own nature, that is the true heart.You have delusions all day long, and delusions are the shadows in your heart, they are fake, not the true heart.

《Journey to the West also talks about this thing. The Bull Demon King had no choice but to become Sun Wukong, exactly like the real Sun Wukong. Both of them said in front of the master that they were real (like koans, they were fighting with real and fake, and they couldn't figure it out). Which one was real?Which one is fake?Tang Monk had no choice but to have a dispute with Zhenxin, and finally he went to Guanyin Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's mount was like a lion and a kidon, and he could know the truth and falsehood: Listen to the false monkey, and then listen to the false.

The koan is to listen carefully, observe and observe. If you don’t observe, you won’t be able to figure out the real monkey and the fake monkey. It’s great to play and make fun all day long!It's really wonderful!We should listen carefully and sit down and observe carefully. Who is chanting the Buddha's name? Who is it who hears the nature of one's own nature, and becomes the supreme path. When you stare at it and look at it every day, you will tell the truth and falsehood, and your delusion will naturally be eliminated.

There is no way to impart the heart seal. It cannot be drawn, illuminated, written, or spoken. Only you know it.Let’s talk about the topic!
