Then the “Heart Sutra” is recorded in this classic, and there are a total of eleven translations in the “Tripitaka”, two of which have been lost, and the “Tripitaka” has these nine versions. In addition, Tibetan Buddhism also has another version of the “Heart Sutra”. Some of these translations use more and some less words, and there are some discrepancies, even the Sanskrit versions are different. The Sanskrit version of the “Heart Sutra” is still handed down, but that is only one of the versions. Then the “Heart Sutra” just said, what is it included in the records of the “Tripitaka”?

Mahayana, Hinayana, Tantra
Mahayana, Hinayana, Tantra Speaker: Master Guangchao Namo Buddha Sakyamuni, the master. Namo Buddha Sakyamuni, the master. Namo Buddha Sakyamuni, the master. Let go. Hello, everyone. The topic of this lecture tonight is Hinayana, Mahayana, and Esoteric Vehicle. Originally, I was invited by this public propagandist to give a lecture to everyone. Well, a layman said that he would talk about this topic. Well, many people who have learned Tantrism still do not understand Hinayana, Mahayana, and Tantra. These people who didn’t get it right didn’t study hard step by step, and went to practice secret methods in a short while. Then, the teacher who practiced Tantra did not let you learn it step by step, so there is this problem. Well, it is a fact in history that our Buddhism slowly developed into different sects in the process of spreading. Then, developing to today, there is a phenomenon that the Hinayana does not recognize the Mahayana. Well, some views in Mahayana, some scholars, some views do not recognize Tantra. Well, let me talk to you today. When I started to become a monk, I heard a saying, that is, if you become a monk in Mahayana Buddhism, you must not read the Agama Sutra at the beginning. The Agama Sutra specifically talks about the principles of Hinayana Buddhism. So why do you say that? Because, according to the experience of some great masters, if you read the…
I have completed the four meditations and eight samadhis and the extinction samadhi (nine times of samadhi). If you have any questions, you can ask them.
I have completed the four meditations and eight meditations and the extinction meditation. If you have any questions, you can ask them (according to the original Douban post) From: Guangche Wulun 2013-09-24 21:59:13 (The following answers are just personal understanding and summary of experience. For reference only. Practitioners should take precepts as the foundation, concentration and wisdom as the means, classics as the guide, liberation as the goal, and actual practice as verification to practice.) 1. Dependence Reason for posting: When I first posted this post, I saw someone posting “I am enlightened, you can ask questions if you have any questions” in this group. Immediately after, I posted this post to imitate it, to be unconventional, although I was afraid that people would not believe it and slander it, but in order to establish an atmosphere of practical practice and proof, and to counteract the general atmosphere of talking but not practicing on the Internet, I posted this post impulsively. Over the past few years, although there have been troublemakers, debaters, and slanders, there have also been true practitioners who have come to this post to ask questions and give feedback on progress. Some people also give me feedback on the progress and harvest of spiritual practice on Doumail. Thanks to these brothers and sisters, I feel that my posts still have a…
20. Dukkha By Venerable Amatha Gavesi
20. Dukkha By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: 1994 Venerable Bhikkhus, brothers and sisters, the subject of the discourse today is Dukkha, Suffering. It is one of the truths Buddha realized and of all the truths the most important. Why I say most important because the other truths like the cause of suffering, cessation of suffering and the path leading to the cessation of suffering, they are all outcome of suffering or connected with suffering. Buddha defines suffering in the Dhammacakka Sutta, the wheel of Dhamma. He defines suffering as birth, to be born over & over again is suffering. He also defines suffering as the old age one is subjected to, that also leads to suffering. He also define as suffering sickness, when one is subject to sicknesses, he suffers. He also define as suffering death, dying is also suffering. Not only to the person who is subjected to the death also to those who are associated with him. He said, then again, as an individual to part from loved ones is suffering. As an individual, to associate with those whom this individual does not like is also suffering. He also said that when an individual wishes to possess something and if he cannot possess that, that leads to suffering. That’s the definition given by Buddha. And after giving this…
19. Consciousness and Suffering
19. Consciousness and Suffering By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: 1994 Venerable Bhikkhus, brothers and sisters, the subject of the discourse today is; Consciousness is Dukkha, suffering. Consciousness is the cause of suffering. Cessation of consciousness is the cessation of suffering. And the path leading to the cessation of suffering is the path leading to the cessation of consciousness. You are aware having learned Dhamma up to now, that the formation of activities committed by the 6 sense bases are by creation of thoughts. In the creation of a thought, you are aware though the sense base and the object that has attract the sense base get together, the third part that appears is the consciousness. From there onwards, the entire operation in the way of seeing or hearing or smelling or tasting or contacting or thinking, the 6 functions perform by the 6 sense bases are all done as a result of a thought created by the consciousness. It is the thought created in you that you are able to see. It is as a result of a thought created in you that you are able to hear. It is a result of a thought created in you that you are able to smell. It’s a thought created in you that you are able to taste things. It’s a thought…
18. Karma By Venerable Amatha Gavesi
18. Karma By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: 1994 Venerable Bhikkhus, brothers and sisters, the subject of the discourse is Karma. Buddha defines karma as ‘cetanāham bhikkhave kammam vadāmi’, as a volition one create before the act of karma is created. That is your state of mind that make you to commit the act. That is important in karma and that state of mind is called Volition. Volition can be weak can be strong. Volition becomes weak when it is mixed up with adverse feelings like anger or attachment, even ignorance. Therefore if you commit a good karma, very effective forceful karma, the 3 qualities such karma should possess are; volition is pure, there is no aversion to any person as such in the commission of that act, there is no attachment to anything, it’s a pure volitional act. Such an act gives you very forceful result. There are 5 types of karma which are heinous so to say, acts committed for which you have to subject yourself to suffering in that birth itself. Those 5 acts are; causing a bleeding injury on Buddha, killing an Arahat, killing your father and mother and cause a dissension among the bhikkhu order. These 5 acts are supposed to be classified as heinous crime which if one commits will have to suffer in that…
17. Five Grasping Groups
17. Five Grasping Groups By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: 1994 Venerable Bhikkhus, brothers and sisters, the subject to the discourse today – the 5 aggregates. In another word – the 5 grasping groups. This is a difficult subject for one to understand. No clear definition of the 5 grasping groups have been given anywhere to cover the entire subject, but there are certain references. And one such reference appears in the Maha-hatthipadopama Sutta, The Big Footprint of the Elephant, in the main discourses. We have to have proper understanding how a thought is created, if one is going to have a clear understanding of the 5 grasping groups. Because these 5 groups are closely associated with the thought created. Thoughts are created at 6 places or connected with 6 things sure to say. They are, the visual object that attract the eyes; then of course experience noises of sound through the ear; smells through the nose; taste through the tongue; contact through the body and mental objects through the mind. These are the 6 places connected which the thoughts are created. The creation of a thought and the various factors that contribute to create the thought has a part to play in the 5 grasping groups. Therefore one has to have a very clear notion how a thought is created. …
16. Desire & The 4 Foundations of Mindfulness
16. Desire & The 4 Foundations of Mindfulness By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: 17/10/1994 Venerable Bhikkhus, brothers and sisters, the subject of the discourse today is the 4 foundations of mindfulness. Buddha having attained Buddhahood, having realized the truth, having found a clear path for the attainment of Nibbana, expected any devotees to develop himself in 3 things. The 3 things are, any devotee must have at least virtue in the observance of the 5 precepts, that’s the least. Base on the virtue, your good conduct, your good behaviour, you must make an effort to develop your mind in samadhi. Samadhi is essential for the realization of the truth. One could develop wisdom, gain wisdom through samadhi. Buddha has clearly stated that the 3 realities of impermanence, unsatisfactory nature of things and the soullessness can only be realized in samadhi. It is clear that the worldling mind is so harden with the worldly way of doing things. And that worldly way of doing things entirely depends upon the false assessment which is permanence, satisfactory and with soul continuity, which are opposite to the 3 realities Buddha had realized. So one could have a fair idea how much of effort one should make to instill into the mind the true nature of things as impermanent, unsatisfactory nature of things and the…
15. The All and Desire
15. The All and Desire By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: 1994 Venerable Bhikkhus, brothers and sisters, Buddha said, this is everything. What is everything? Your eyes, your ears, your nose, your tongue, your body and your mind, this is everything. And Buddha further said if there is any person who says that there is more than these in this world, he said it is just careless use of words only. Because there is nothing beyond this in the world, that is your eyes, your nose, your ears, your tongue, your body and mind. I think we have explained the part played by these 6 sense bases to you earlier. The experience you go through them in the way of seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, contacting and thinking are all that you can do. And if I ask a question, is there anything more than that in this world? Anything more than what you see? Anything more than what you hear? Anything more than what you smell? Anything more than what you taste? Anything more than what you contact through your body? And anything more than thinking? There is nothing more than that in this world. If you say there is something else in this world, well it should be something that your eyes and other sense bases should observe. If there…
14. Nirodha and Desire
14. Nirodha and Desire By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: 1994 Venerable Bikkhus, brothers and sisters, Buddha refers to 2 ways of achievement, 2 ways of overcoming your defilements and attaining Nibbana. One way is called the ceto-vimutti and the other way is called the paññā-vimutti. Ceto-vimutti is, develop your mind to higher states of samadhi, your absorptions. And live in those states, as a results of prolong living in those states, your mind gain the freedom or mind get rid of the defilements and gain its freedom. In the paññā-vimutti, the 2nd way of development, after you gain your absorptions, 1st absorption, 2nd absorption, 3rd absorption, then we divert you to the practice of Vipassana, insight knowledge. And step by step we direct you to overcome the defilements which if you overcome, will reach the stage of Stream Entry, and the other defilements which you overcome you will reach the stage of Once Returner. And if you overcome some other defilements, you will reach the stage of Non-Returner and finally, we guide you to get rid of “I”, “mine”, and “soul”, believe in the continuity of your mind in the nature of a soul in you, and you get rid of that too and you finally attain your Nibbana. These are the 2 which Buddha has referred to in his…
13. The Four Noble Truths Are Within & Desire
13. The Four Noble Truths Are Within & Desire By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: Year 1994 Venerable Bhikkhus, Brothers and Sisters, the subject of the discourse today is in the phantom of body you possess and the consciousness there lies suffering. In the phantom of body and consciousness you possess, there lies the cause of suffering. In the phantom of body and consciousness you possess there lies the cessation of suffering. In the phantom of the body and consciousness you possess, there lies the path leading to the cessation of suffering. This clearly indicate, Brothers and Sisters, that you need not go anywhere, to find out the cause of your suffering, the exact suffering the cause of suffering and how one should end the suffering and the path leading to the suffering, all that is in you. When we speak of Dhamma, listen to Dhamma, they think that Dhamma is away from us, out of us. But all that, we are struggling to achieve is within us. That is why I always say that you are undoing what you have done to yourself. You have done wrong to yourself. As a result you are suffering, as a result you are subject to births, birth after birth, the cycle of births. Why? Because you have not conducted yourself in a manner…
12. Path to Once Returner & Non Returner
12. Path to Once Returner & Non Returner By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: Year 1994 Venerable Bhikkus, Brothers and Sisters, the next subject in Vipassana is to deal with the balance 2 fetters, that is attachment and aversion. In regard to your analyzing body and mind, the activity clearly and also how all activities are done by cause and effect and you finally practice arising and passing away. Once you have completed these 3 exercises, if you have done it correctly, if you have understood the moment very carefully as not done by anybody but as something that occurs with the mind and the body working together. There is no being as such within you who perform these acts but you automatically perform them with the mind directing the body. If you have developed your knowledge sufficiently, you must be able to achieve the first stage of development and that is Stream Entry. Once that exercise is over, when watching the rising and passing away carefully, there should be a rise of your concentration vertically upwards. It rises with the realisation of the impermanence of things and along with the fruition Samadhi must take place. Fruition Samadhi realising the impermanence in the first instance, the first stage of your development, it’s not fully realised but realised to achieve the fruition…
11. Ten Fetters and Stream Entry
11. Ten Fetters and Stream Entry By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: Year 1994 Venerable Bhikkhus, brothers and sisters, subject of the discourse today is how one with his development within gives up the fetters which tie him down to the life of births and deaths. These fetters are divided into 2 groups according to their activities. The first 5 fetters are known as “orambhagiya-samyojana” which means that the first 5 fetters push you down, press you down to a worldly life. And those 5 fetters are: believe in a being in you “Sakkayaditti”, Doubt, and the pursuit of practices to the extremes, and also you have the 2 very strong fetters: Attachment and Aversion. These 5 fetters tie you down to the earth, fix you down to the earth. There are the 5 upper fetters which push you towards the Pure Abodes. And they are, belief or attachment to the form world or formless world, there is Ego, there is restlessness in the mind and ignorance. When I say ego, is tendency to compare yourself with another and then the way we are equal or below another or above another that sort of things. More ego than anything else. These are 5 fetters which drive you to the five Pure Abodes. An explanation is necessary here. There is where…
10. Five Hindrances
10. Five Hindrances By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: Year 1994 Venerable Bhikkhu, Brothers & Sisters, the discourse today also will deal with the general subject. After that I intend giving you instructions in regard to various defilements you will have to overcome by Insight Knowledge in practicing certain aspects of meditation. For example, to give up the idea that there is a being in you, i.e. Sakkayaditti – a personality feeling that you have. You have to differentiate between mind and matter. I shall give you instructions as to how you should do that. Likewise, to confirm that feeling further, that there is no being in you, you will be practicing cause and effect, how you commit activities and that two descriptions will be given to you for your knowledge. Then, in practicing “Nama-Rupa”, differentiating between mind and matter, also arising and passing away. Likewise to every stage of development you will be aspiring to, I will give you instructions how you should practice your Insight Knowledge to overcome defilements. That will be useful to you. Will be useful to you in time to come, when you are sufficiently developed for you to perform the task of instructing others. Because details will be available to you as to how you should instruct the beginner about his manner of finding out…
9A. Five Stages of Giving Up The Sankharas (1)
9A. Five Stages of Giving Up The Sankharas (1) By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: Year 1994 Venerable Bhikkhus, Brothers and Sisters, in view of the departure tomorrow of several of you, I decided to deliver this Discourse so that those who have developed to higher states will be careful in maintaining those conditions with mindfulness. Even an Arahant is mindful, you will understand the importance of mindfulness even in those who have developed to a very high states. You can’t forget the fact that you are using equipment, which is meant for a Worldly Life. Even your very Body and Mind are not meant for Nibbana. They are meant for continuity in the World, you will be among worldlings who will not understand your temperament, who will not even accept that you have developed, because some of these people they bear peculiar notions of about the behavior and conduct of a person who has attained to a high degree. That you will be like a rock seated down, could not move about, that sort of thing. And sometimes, some of them in their ignorance expect for you to display your psychic powers and show your power resulting from your attainment. Such views are there among the ignorant masses, but then must bear in mind your attainment is not in the…
8. Five Factors By Venerable Amatha Gavesi
8. Five Factors By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: Year 1994 Venerable Bhikkhus, brothers & sisters, today I will deal with the five factors which promote your attainment. The five factors are your devotion, your effort, your mindfulness, your samadhi and your development of wisdom. These are general factors which helps you ride along the effort you made to reach the goal. This must be promoted in your mind, not that purposefully done but with the correct approach made to develop yourself along the path. These are roughly the outcome of that effort you are making. First thing is devotion, you must have faith in the Triple Gems. That faith does not arise merely because you have blind attachment to the Triple Gems. That should arise from within, when you realize the truth more and more. It is the truth that will create that devotion. The truth of the philosophy preached by Buddha. His philosophy is realistic, there’s nothing imaginary. His philosophy can be identified by you everywhere and every place in life. It is not something in the nature of a concealed thing. In fact, when you summarize his philosophy, one could say he has clearly shown us who we are. We have been living in a deception, and we have led life as worldlings up to this moment not…
7. The World is your 6 Sense Base
7. The World is your 6 Sense Base By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: Year 1994 Venerable Bikkhus, brothers and sisters, Buddha said “I will not speak about Nibbana to a person who has not seen the end of the world.” That is the subject of the discourse today. I repeat that statement again, “I will not speak to a person about Nibbana unless he has seen the end of the world.” In previous discourses, I have at length dwelt on this aspect of the world which each one of us are living in. When we refer to a world, it is what we have created though we do not realize that it is so, we see a world around us. One moment we do not give thought as to how this world around us has been created. You are gifted with six sense bases. This sense bases provide you with vision about objects outside, also you hear sounds outside, you also smell outside, you also experience taste with your tongue and you also experience contact with your body, and also you speak, you think about matter that arise in your mind. These are 6 sense bases that perform their functions in creating things for you. If you analyse the world you live in, that world consist only of these experiences…
6. Samadhi in the Development of the Path
6. Samadhi in the Development of the Path By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: Year 1994 Venerable Bhikkus, brothers and sisters, the topic of my discourse today is Samadhi. What is Samadhi? Samadhi is concentration of the mind or bringing the mind to one pointedness. If that is the object of samadhi, what is the condition of the normal mind? The normal mind is a scattered mind, always busily engaged in while you are awake to catch objects that attract the sense bases and create a thought. If there are no sense object, at least it will create a thought by way of thinking, creating on his own thought of reference to a past incidence or something which you expect to perform in the future. In another words there is no period when the mind is at rest in a ordinary worldling. From the time he wake up in the morning, up to the time he goes to sleep, his mind is always in movement, scattered. Now when something is scattered like that, even if it is a force, like, let’s say water or air or fire or anything like that, when it is scattered, it doesn’t produce the strength it can produce when it is concentrated. When the force is concentrated, there is much force created there. When it is…
5. Sankhara, Desire & Its End
5. Sankhara, Desire & Its End By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: 11/10/1994 Venerable Bikkhus, brothers and sisters, the most difficult to grasp and understand is the first noble truth of Dukkha. It is a difficult deep philosophy and need a lot of concentration to understand. That is why you felt in the first picture I gave you, you found difficult to grasp the subject clearly, but listening to the talk I gave you this morning many times, you will be able to clearly see that it is not a difficult thing to understand, but the only thing is certain amount of concentration and thinking will help you to grasp the subject. In this talk, I shall deal that Sankhara is the cause of Dukkha. That is the subject of discussion, Sankhara is the cause of Dukkha. Now in the dependent origination, where Buddha clearly shows in the different links, the worldly behavior for worldling. And in that he has referred to sankhara or activities of these worldling as the second link. It is due to the ignorance this worldling commit acts or sankharas. What are the acts he commits? He commits the act of seeing, he commits the act of hearing, he commits the act of smelling, he commits the act of experiencing a taste, he commits the act of…
4. Importance of Mindfulness
4. Importance of Mindfulness By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: 1994 Venerable bhikkhus, brothers & sisters, the subject of the discourse today is mindfulness. Mindfulness plays a very vital role in the development of the person who practices his philosophy along the path to gain his liberation. We refer to mindfulness as an ordinary term and in compliance to this state of mind, we just be mindful and is not given that due recognition it deserves to be given. You have as a worldling a very very dim past so to say, having been living as worldling for many many many births. You have adopted ways and means in keeping with the worldling life. You have developed ideas, views, habits in conformity with the life you are leading as a worldling. They are natural productions in you now. All your activities in the way of thinking and in the way of committing bodily acts are in accordance with the habits you have cultivated. The very values you have towards life have been developed in you in keeping with the worldly way. Buddha in his attainment realized this human being when we addressed the human being in a worldly way is not a being as such but a mass of activity committed by the body as directed by the mind. His pattern…
Formations By Venerable Amatha Gavesi
3. Formations By Venerable Amatha Gavesi Dated: 09/10/1994 Venerable bhikkhus, brothers & sisters, the subject of the discourse today is Formations. Volitional of activity you call it, in other aspect. In the dependent origination, Buddha clearly analyses the wordling; in that analysis he has clearly indicated that if a worldling has been misled completely as a result of his ignorance of formation of volitional activities he commits. That is the starting point of his cause for delusion. The dependent origination is “Avijja paccaya sankhara, Sankhara paccaya vinnanam, Vinnana paccaya namarupam, Namarupa paccaya salayatanam, Salayatana paccaya phasso, Phassa paccaya vedana, Vedana paccaya tanha, Tanha paccaya upadanam, Upadana paccaya bhavo, Bhavo paccaya jati, Jati paccaya jaramaranam soka parideva dukkha domanassu-payasa”, that is the Pali rendering of the dependent origination. This chain of events commences with Ignorance. Because of ignorance, you commit sankhara. The normal explanation given in the scriptures is that ignorance refers to non-attainment of the 4 Noble Truths, non-realization of the 4 Noble Truths. If one realizes the 4 Noble Truths, one is supposed to be ignorant. But this ignorance refers to a clear act committed by you. In ignorance you commit the formation of volitional activities. Ignorance of what, is the question. And before we explain that, let me explain to you that, the formation of volitional activities we…
THE NOBLE EIGHT FOLD PATH
THE NOBLE EIGHT FOLD PATH Brothers and Sisters, Buddha by attainment to Buddhahood, not only realised the truth, he also realised the path that has helped others to follow and realise the same truth. That path is the Four Noble Truths, which Buddha realised. It has eight links: 1. Right Speech 2. Right Conduct 3. Right Livelihood 4. Right Effort 5. Right Mindfulness 6. Right Concentration/Samadhi 7. Right Views (Realisation of Four Noble Truths) 8. Right thoughts. Of the eight links the first three links refers to your virtue. It is accepted that even the five precepts if one observes carefully is sufficient for the attainment. That covers all your activities regarding the body and expression. If that one wishes to observe more precepts he could do so the eight precepts and the ten precepts. If one wishes to go further, he could enter the order of monks and observes number of precepts in the way of a physical conduct of a bhikkhu. One will ask the question what is the use of virtue in this path? Virtue controls your bodily acts and your expression. Buddha clearly stated that all your activities are committed as a result of a thought arising in us. Mind is the forerunner of all our activities. Therefore, you could really imagine to…
Unique Nature of Buddhist Philosophy
Tape 1 – Unique Nature of Buddhist Philosophy (Dharma Talk by Ven A Gavasi on 8.10.94 ) Brothers & Sisters, thephilosophy preached by Buddha is unique, it is unique because Buddha found the solutions to suffering by the human being and that solution lies in the human beings and not outside. For 40 years, he lives the life of a prince about 30 years and after that he left the palace and search for the cause of Dukka. He realizes that enjoyment of 6 sense bases as an ordinary being would not direct him to the true nature of this being. And he having lead the life of a prince in the palace up to about 30 years, left the palace on the day his son was born to him. He went to several great thinkers existing at that time, like *Allah-Kalla-Arun-Karam* from whom he learned the development of the mind from one up to the seven absorptions. And from the others the eighth absorption, that is the maximum they would reached in their attainment and they were so much taken abit prince Siddartha attainment that they invited him to live with them and propagate their knowledge to the others. Buddha found that there was no answer to the question he search for therefore he left them…

53.Release and size multiplication
Question: Teacher, I saw a saying that it is not easy to see clearly because the four consciousnesses and consciousnesses may be destroyed. This is the difference between the Mahayana and the Mahayana. Do you think it makes sense? You said you changed to Mahayana. How did you do it? Answer: Four zens and eight destiny cannot annihilate consciousness and awareness. However, the four Zens have a different path, and the four meditations are also the four Zens. But it cannot be called annihilation of consciousness. Because he is still conscious, not unconscious. It’s just that consciousness can’t restrain the imagination and enters a state of ignorance. The only thing that is truly unconscious and unconscious is extinction. (Extinction is not unawareness. Otherwise, how do you know that extinction is nothing? So only the illusion is extinct, and the instinct is immortal. The instinct is not born.) Seeing one’s mind clearly is a Mahayana statement, which indicates that the ideals of the mind are the ideals of the mind, and the mind is the mind. The heart is all things. Seeing clearly is the nature of consciousness. Witness the heart. It is the arrival of evidence. Especially insightful reach. The so-called nature of the mind is the consciousness of renunciation. Liu Zuyun: “Don’t think of good, don’t think of evil.…
52.Abstinence and Indulgence
Question: Brother misunderstood, what I mean cannot be reverted to Bodhicitta. This means that once you have practiced the four zens, the person is said to have lost her desire and lost her sexual ability. So I can only ask for one’s heart, and I ca n’t return to be an ordinary person. Answer: Nothing. Difficult to be a sage, isn’t it easy to be an ordinary person? According to Taoism, practice is to first cultivate the child. Does the boy have no sexual ability without desire? It’s just not indulging. Question: The four Zens mentioned by my brother are still different from the Buddhist Zen I know. You can search Youku search; Master million lines of open video shows 1- Slim and enlightenment of (on) to find out. Answer: You don’t know anything. Q: The landlord, with consultation, can meditation treat eye diseases? I think many monks are still wearing glasses Answer: Meditation can adjust the body to health. The eyes are part of the body and can certainly restore health. It ’s hard to say that a monk wears glasses. There may be some eye problems that ca n’t be changed. But around me, some people have successfully removed the reading glasses through meditation, and others have also restored cataract to normal by meditation. Question: Hello Brother. Would…
51.Beyond the illusion
Question: The predecessors of good knowledge, as soon as you sit down, you will have a deep blue state like a lake, and the shape of the indefinite edge changes frequently. Sometimes I want to hold it, but I run away with a little intention, and I only feel calm in a few moments when I hold it occasionally. I know that the various situations encountered in meditation are false and should be ignored. I just want to ask if the current direction is correct. Is it possible to go astray? Answer: This is a by-product of meditation. This illustrates two issues: Explain that there is a little bit of concentration; Explain that there is still a lot of fabrication in the subconscious. This situation is caused by the practice of meditation, which is illusioned by the subconscious. If this illusion is not controlled and invested in it, it will continue to develop and become a strange world. And in this kind of illusion, people will have the ability to arbitrarily display objects. If you want an apple, you will see an apple. If you want the sea to rise, the sun will come out. In. In this state, as if you are a god, you can change what you want. Everything feels wonderful and comfortable. But all this is…
50.He knows
Question: After repairing for a while, I found that I can sense the emotional fluctuations of others, and I can affect them when I concentrate my attention. What is going on? (Question is missing, make up the meaning) A: If you can sense the emotional fluctuations of others, you will see that almost everyone is driven by distress to act personally. Some people have compassion (or compassion) in this situation. Some people see that those people start from bad minds and want to take advantage of themselves, so they also worry about themselves. This ability does not hurt you in itself. Unless you move with others, it’s not good to worry about yourself. So let yourself fall down first. Attention does not affect others. Unless you focus on consciously influencing others, such as intentionally wishing someone something. Even direct manipulation of other people’s behavior, but this is intentional. This is the power of the mind itself. A practitioner must always be aware of his or her own heart, emotions, thoughts, and context, and must treat the problem, practice the four thoughts, and remove the troubles. If there are no worries, these are not interference. If you are obsessed with these functions and are entangled in it without knowing how to deal with your troubles, you will go the wrong way.…
49.Discipline and Karma
Q: Hello, Master. I read your previous post. I personally feel that you have empirical experience. I have seen Buddhist scriptures (Heart Sutra, Lenyan Sutra, Lenga Sutra, Zongjinglu) for a while before and meditated. I have had experience in the past with unspeakable joy in meditation. I have also had a bright experience in meditation. Later, for me, it was difficult and difficult to seduce. No matter how the consciousness guides, the mind is totally uncontrollable. So then there was no realm. Over the years, I have gradually let go of meditation and read the Buddhist scriptures. Maybe the karma is too heavy. Now it is all about one’s thoughts and thoughts. In my daily life, I reflect on my thinking and emotions, and have many good thoughts. Hope to eliminate the bad karma first. I think that as long as I can hold a vigilant ring, or I can practice to the realm of the Four Zens. Here I want to discuss with the landlord a confusion I have been thinking deep in my heart. Do you think liberation is for yourself or beings? Mahayana Dharma is said to be for all beings. But from the beginning of the Buddha, there are many masters who have realized. Is there any major change in this world to this being? Various…
48.Ear root round
Q: Thanks for explaining doubt , would like tact from repair from the ears , give me good advice ? Answer: Ear roots are all about tracing the source from hearing, watching where hearing originates, and finding the source. “Leng Yan Jing” in the ear-roots round chapter said, “Beginning in the smell. Entering the exile. What you enter is still. The two phases of movement and silence, you will not be born. If it is increasing. You can hear everything. You can’t smell it. Feel The sense of emptiness. The emptiness of consciousness is extremely round. The emptiness of emptiness is extinguished. Both death and death are extinct. Silence is now before. Suddenly surpassed, the world was born, the ten sides were bright and won two special victories. Enlightenment is the same kindness as Buddha ’s coming. The two are in one place, and the six sentient beings have the same sadness as all sentient beings. ” In this paragraph, the ear-roots method and practice are explained in great detail. Let me explain briefly: Early in the smell. Into exile. ——- That is, starting from the ear’s hearing, the focus is on the “sense” of hearing. The consciousness is like flowing water (like flowing water, continuous), and the “sound” is perceived. That is, hearing and sound must be separated first.…
47.Bone View
Question: Thank you, senior. I can meet people during the practice to explain. I ’m so lucky. I would also like to ask you a few questions: Based on my current situation (instant Zen, unstable, sometimes advancing, sometimes inconclusive), seeing Mr. Nan Huaijin’s view of the bones, I can start the observation without asking for it. I have tried it several times, but I can’t understand it. Is it because the strength is not enough? Master Guangchao once recommended more than four meditations to practice the meditation. Is it the same with the white bone meditation? Any suggestions for seniors? Do you have to reach the level of the soles of your feet when you meditate? Although my flexibility can be achieved with some effort, it is quite a bit strenuous, and I will be distracted over time. I wonder if it should be reluctant? Sometimes when you meditate, you may have nose wings, sometimes both ears, and sometimes the neck and other parts will itch separately, like countless bugs crawling. I guess it may be qi, usually not paying attention to it, but in some cases it is so irritating that it makes me sit still. I want to ask if I can scratch Answer: 1. Xiu bone view, if you can’t see it, it means that karma is…
46.Thirty-seven
Q: Excuse me , The first question is, apart from practicing, do we have to practice the Tao every day? The order of Dinghui Road is as follows: See the Tao before the Tao Four Thoughts-Qualification, Righteousness after Birth. (Body and Mind) Four Zhengqin-the way of resources, destroy evil and make good. The Four Divine Feet-the way of resources, clear mind. Five roots-plus road. Five Forces-Adding Ways. Qijue branch-see Tao. The Eighth Path-Cultivation. The second question: When practicing self-cultivation, do you practice living, sitting and lying in your daily life? Or is it just meditation walking back and forth? The third question seems to be a bit chaotic. When practicing the Four Minds, it seems to have the effect of the Seven Enlightened Branches? Thank you Answer: My understanding of the 37 styles can be in order. But it doesn’t have to be sequential. Many Taoism may occur at the same time. An epiphany, for example, sees Taoism and Taoism completed together. Generally speaking, see the Tao first, then follow the path, and finally testify. For example, the probable first fruit is to see Tao, and then the 2 fruit, 3 fruit, and 4 fruit are cultivated in this order. But there are also many people who can prove 2 fruits at one time, or 3 fruits (skip the stage…
45.Faxi needs control
Question: Brother Wulun, I am finalized this morning. It ’s wonderful and very happy, but still do n’t say what I feel. I ’m really happy. I ’m on the right path. I hope to get your guidance in future practice Thank you, everything is so beautiful today. Answer: Good thing. When you get it right, you should be full of Fa Xi (but pay attention to the degree, do n’t overdo it, beware of leakage). (Editor’s Note: If Fa Xi does not control, she will shake her mind and form liberation. Therefore, beware of liberation and deviation from the middle ) Q: Beginners, what should I do? Have a job, only time at night, what kind of feelings do you have when you start meditation, and how should the subconscious guide you? Answer: No feeling should be pursued. The subconscious should be guided by centrifugation. I have repeatedly emphasized these before, please go and read Q: Ask me. I feel that breathing is very light when I focus on a place. If I turn my thoughts to breathing, the breathing will become very heavy. How can this breathing be adjusted? Answer: Focus on your breathing first, don’t control your breathing. Question: By the way, when the breath is short, I feel that the breath only reaches the throat, not…
44.Light wants to sleep with light
Questions: 1. How do you practice breathing while lying in bed at night, can you breathe intuitively? This will feel too heavy mind is not conducive to sleep. In Geyinka’s Vipassana practice, one must shift awareness from breathing to comprehensively perceive the entire body. My understanding is that at least four Zens must be taken to watch the breath before we can move awareness to the whole body, right? I find that when the breathing becomes finer, the pain in the legs is reduced a lot. With the increase of concentration, will the physical and pain sensations gradually disappear? I practiced Taoist kung fu before. After practicing the breathing, I think that in the “stop” phase, I don’t need to pay attention to the sense of qi; Right? Thank you. Answer: 1. Sleep practice should be thought of brightly. Watching breathing to the whole body of awareness is an extension of awareness. Let the state of ignorance that is not consciously move into a state of consciousness that gradually develops consciously. This thing does not require meditation, and ordinary people can. With meditation, the stability and fineness of awareness are much better. When the concentration is improved, it is normal for the body part to disappear. And it should be so. Any feelings indicate that our minds are scattered where…
43.Vegetarian and nutrition
Q: Hello Dade I believe that vegetarianism can cultivate compassion and suppress heartburn, but if you are a long-term vegetarian, how can you ensure nutrition (protein)? Tell us what you think. Answer: Worried about nutrition, you can eat milk and eggs. If you meditate well, you don’t need to think about nutrition, you can synthesize all by yourself. ( Editor’s note: People who meditate should also pay attention to exercising, because proper exercise can promote the effective functioning of the body.) Question: May I ask the landlord Brother 1 to meditate and ask that my eyes droop naturally but not close, but I always close easily and then quickly open so that my attention is disturbed by this. Can I just close my eyes and meditate? 2 Can you tell me the specific time of the three seats a day? What time to time can I say that the daily work and rest time is better? 3 The road to Dinghui can be repaired without reading it all. After watching how to enter the first jhana before, you can start practicing? 4Excuse me, how can I eliminate the anxiety of impermanence, especially the sickness and death, which seems to happen at any time? Therefore, I especially want to get rid of reincarnation and practice. I have a firm determination, but…
42.Color is empty
Question: Color is empty, and empty is color. Why? Answer: Because color is an illusion, when one day we die, everything like color is gone. So it was empty. In case it really dies, will it really die? Although there is nothing left, we will wake up like sleeping and suddenly wake up in nothing, and suddenly we will have a consciousness out of nothing, and then we will reincarnate into reincarnation as soon as we think of ego. Therefore, emptiness is only a temporary phenomenon. Together with ignorance, various colors will appear in the air, so emptiness is color. Although there are magic colors, the essence of color is empty. Therefore, chromaticity is empty and emptiness is color. The color space is just the difference between people and me, and there is no difference in its nature. The color space is the same legal reason. Want to know that line, same is the case. So five aggregates are not available. Therefore, seeing and hearing is not available and unavoidable. Question: Hello, good knowledge. When I want to define my breath, I feel that there is another body in the body that I am watching. I am breathing. How can I understand this phenomenon? Answer: This is a phenomenon of separation of mind. That bystander awareness is called mindfulness. This…
41.Hong Fa Li Sheng
Question: Thank you for your great virtue. I understand it this way, after the four meditations have been completed, Yu Dingzhong enters 5678 to the end of the dying, which is a straight path; if you practice the meditation, you will start to observe in the four meditations. One question: I do n’t understand the teachings at all, but I have become a monk under the instruction of Dade, not long, half a year old, in order to increase my own insights and to promote the benefit of life in the future, like me, Which classics should I start with? Answer: There are too many teachings and so many Buddhist scriptures. Therefore, Hongfalisheng is very difficult for ordinary people. Personally, I don’t think I need to consider Hongfa Lisheng before I have repaired it (at least the evidence of Nirvana). Because, if you do n’t practice well, you often misunderstand the meaning of the Buddhist scriptures. Usually, you just need to make more wishes and return your spiritual merits to all beings. Graduating yourself to graduate is a big thing right now. When the cultivation of wisdom is complete and liberation is achieved, Hongfa becomes a matter of nature (degrees of cultivation are part of one’s own practice). ( Editor’s note: As a person who wants to promote Fa, you…
40.The role of compassion
Question: After practicing meditation, I became calm, including expressing my willingness to commit suicide to my wife and two Hong Kong auxiliary police officers tonight. Because I am stubborn with my wife, I would like to make my case public. How can I deal with it? Ding Huizhi has seen it ten times, and there are hundreds of other online positive, Buddhist, suicide, and depression materials. There are more than 2 years. I am 61, my wife is 59, my two daughters are 93,94,1 A: The easiest way is to go to Baidu and search for the recordings of Master Guangchao ’s view of compassion. Follow the recording guide to repair three views of compassion every morning, night and evening. It will slowly get better. ( Editor’s note: There are many benefits to practicing the concept of compassion, which can improve interpersonal relationships, increase the power of good destiny, and even change karma, so that bad karma is understated and good karma is re-reported. The “Zhong Tao Theory” of the South Legend states that practitioners who practice compassion can gain eleven benefits: Sleep-In addition to not losing sleep, it will also have good sleep quality. An 寤-When you wake up, you feel energetic. No nightmares-not disturbed by nightmares; even dreaming is auspicious dreams. Love and respect—Because love is constantly emanating…
39.Recite Buddha
Question: Master, I want to practice meditation. When I meditate, do you want to say something about Nan Wu Guan Yin? Just thinking, not speaking, hearing and hearing, is this meditation effective? Ask for guidance from the master Answer: It can be repaired like this. You can refer to the way I answered others about how to read the Buddha. The same is true for the Buddha of Guanyin. ———– The same can be said of meditating on the Buddha. The process of cultivation is like this: first, meditation, and a voice in my heart. Continue for a period of time, after a little quiet, stretch the voice of Buddha, a word of silent meditation for half a minute. After slowly calming down in this way, you will feel tired of mentioning meditation (voice of heart). At this point, give up the silent meditation of the heart sound, and change to the thought of nostalgia. That is, like the memory, the memory of the “Amitabha Buddha” is raised in the heart (the heart sounds are not heard at this time). Continue to continue for a period of time, you will feel tired to lift the memory. At this time, the action of lifting the memory can also be put down, stopping at the memory of the front sound Buddha name…
38.Vegetarian and clean
Q: Do you eat meat? A: During my unemployed practice, I ate a vegan diet for 1 year. A piece of meat was eaten in the middle. The interference from eating this piece of meat required me to spend half an hour meditating to clear it up. In my experience, eating meat is not conducive to cleanliness and hinders meditation. Therefore, it is recommended not to eat meat. ( Editor’s note: According to my personal understanding, meat has karma for all beings. After eating, it will contaminate the body and cause physical illness, that is, pollute the body. According to the Dharma, eating meat is more sick and short-lived. And Xiu If a meditator wants to meditate freely, he needs to have pure body and body as the basis, otherwise the mind and body will affect each other. If the body is not pure, the meditating is unstable, that is, it is difficult to achieve meditative freedom.) Q: What is the landlord’s prostitution ring? Is it a flight? Answer: This is called self-harm. Also called adultery. Worse than ordinary prostitution. . . When banned. Question: Good knowledge. Is there any connection between Xiuding and Pigu? Do vegetarians need to control the number and quantity of diets? Such as a eclipse. A: Meditate to a certain degree. With the reduction of…
37.Birth and Wisdom of Wisdom
Question: I have been paying attention to meditation. I would like to know if there is meditation and what is the situation after entering the setting. Basically, through sharing by bloggers, there is definitely meditation, and the setting must be experienced by yourself. I also want to ask how to make wisdom because of destiny. And what is the significance of meditation? Answer: The so-called wisdom is to be able to see the truth of the facts. The so-called foolishness is the falsehood that confuses the facts. So, the meaning of cultivation is to let the mind settle for a while from the falsehood, so that the mind can control itself without losing control. (I may say that some people disagree, but in fact, the scattered person calls the mind. Cannot be autonomous). In the case of self-control, it is capable of observing some phenomena that are not usually noticed (such as cause and effect, five aggregates, mind, law phase, etc.), so that it can to some extent break some of the previous cognitive illusions (“me” Illusion), so it is called wisdom. That is, some relatively correct truths can be revealed. Meditation is the pillar of spiritual practice. Both Ji and Hui are carried out in depth on the basis of concentration. The Ninth Order is like a ladder leading…
36.Buddhism and awareness
Question: Ask the teacher: Does the plant have a Buddha nature, can it become a Buddha? Answer: Buddha nature refers to the sentimental consciousness. That there are troubled beings. Beings who are troubled can become Buddhas because of the push of trouble (or bodhicitta). Plants are ruthless, have no worries about consciousness, and cannot consciously become a Buddha. (Editor’s note: According to Mahayana, the nature of all Dharma is perceptual. This perceptualness is called “buddhism” at the sentimental level, and is “legality” or “perception” at the relentless level. The meaning of perceptualness refers to all the laws Intuition. Intuition, all Dharma is the righteousness of the mind. This mind is not annoying, not divine mind, but Nirvana mind, or the law world mind, or the original wisdom mind. It is only the manifestation of this conscious mind, the physical aspect of the law, and the manifestation of this conscious mind. Mind and law are all of the same nature. However, love and willingness can become Buddhas, and heartless and heartless cannot become Buddhas. ) Question: Ask Dade. Suddenly you do n’t feel the presence of your body when you sit still. It ’s a normal reflection. It ’s the secondary feeling. Answer: Normal. Question: Buddhism focuses on inheritance. Can I find information online? Answer: The so-called inheritance in reality is…
35.Mahayana Samadhi
Question: Guang Toru Bodhisattva, can you fix it to this level anytime, anywhere? Can Iding be more than just sitting in this form? For example, when talking to people, singing, practicing calligraphy, painting, walking, eating, and sweeping the floor. . So that when doing everything, can you focus on doing one thing wholeheartedly? If so, which one? How to fully implement this kind of routine in daily life? Thank you! Answer: I can’t. My practice is not yet in place and I need to continue working hard. What you say in life is different from ordinary meditation. Probably the “Zen” of Mahayana Buddhism can match it. That state, in Theravada, is roughly equivalent to Yu Nirvana. In Mahayana, it is about the state of “one line of sham”. Its connotation is “to live, sit and lie, in any situation, to maintain a realistic, intelligent heart.” (Editor’s Note: Mahayana Samadhi is the practice of Mahayana people, mainly one hundred and eight Samadhis, elaborate on immeasurable Samadhis. Wisdom Samadhis can be cultivated while in motion, and some deep Samadhis can be practiced based on the constant force of the Four Zens The Mahayana Samadhi far surpasses the world ’s four Zens and eight destinies, which are almost incomparable differences of different qualities. A person who practiced the Bodhisattva practiced the Mahayana Samadhi…
34.The dangers of guiding the pulse
Q: Hello, sir. I am a boxer who meditates. I started meditating more than 20 years ago. The breath has passed from the perineum through the tailbone, waist, spine, jade pillow, Baihui, to the eyebrows, among the people, Lower lip and lower jaw throat. Fifteen years ago (about 98 years), it was blocked in the lower lip, lower jaw, and throat. Sometimes it hurts. These years, I have been breathing in a single plate, and the blockage has caused infestation, bitter mouth, dry eyes, and nightmares. From August 2013 last year, I started double-disc meditation in the meditating bar posting. It has been a year and a half now, and I have made some progress, but the breath is still blocked in the lower lip, lower jaw and throat. I really want to get guidance from my husband! !! !! !! I ca n’t post the link to meditate. I hope Mr. Baidu can read the “boxer ’s meditation diary”. My specific situation is described in detail on the first five or six pages. The following is my diary of meditation over the past year. My reading is relatively complicated and inexperienced. I have browsed both the Buddhist and Taoist temples and foreign spiritual practices, and now I mainly breathe in double panning. I do n’t dare to think too…
33.I am a mentor
Question: Brother, how many monsters are better in the last age? How to choose the right path and identify? The books of those masters can recommend Answer: Things are grouped together and people are grouped. If there is no desire, where is the demon? Three seals are used as a guide, and nothing is gained. The Buddhist scriptures are manuals and the practice is experiments. Self is the mentor, discipline is the yardstick. The four thoughts are for cultivation. Rely on knowledge but not knowledge, and not on people according to law. (Editor’s Note: Since the heart is the real teacher. The conversion of the righteousness is the conversion of the self-dharma monk. Of course, we can not ignore the extraordinary role of good knowledge in the guidance of reality in reality! ) Question: Brother, one of my classmates told me to become a Buddha with one heart and one life and death. I don’t think this is a big attachment. But he also said it was progress. The Diamond Sutra says that everything is false. Is this life and death a phantom, or is it a delusion, if it is a delusion, then how can life and death matter? I was very confused, and I hoped that my brother would advise. Answer: Life and death are impermanence. Thinking about…
32.Prajna Paramita
Q: May I ask your brother. . How about the correct view of the air? If you still have physical consciousness, can’t you watch the air? Please give pointers Answer: The so-called null is the theory of Mahayana. Means emptiness. The understanding of emptiness, according to some statements, cannot be explained. It is said that it cannot be established in the mind of ordinary people. The so-called incredible. . . . Well, in Mahayana teachings, there are various theories that help build confidence in “emptiness.” Such as “Zhonglun” and so on. It is by breaking down all opinions and making people believe that there is time. Therefore, to view the air correctly, you can’t first set a “empty” concept and then look for it. This is very wrong. The correct view of the air is to know that all the realms (including psychological realms) are artificial and illusions. Should stay away. Then stay away from Mingse, Six Roots, Eighteen Realms, Wu Yun and so on. In short, all consciousness is abandoned or away. Then the mind ceases to create any realm. At this time, the original appearance of the heart, which is the so-called emptiness, will appear (in fact, there is no emptiness, but the illusion disappears). That is to say, “The imaginary body dies, the imaginary heart also dies,…
31.Bliss
Question: I would like to ask the landlord, when the Buddha is still dead, he will leave the world to live in the paradise world, but he will return to the world after a delusion, and his body will be calm for a while. Later, in the manifestation of the manifesting old master, it was found: “Contemplating the Buddha without any confusion, it became empty, and I got the spinning top, and I was born to leave the body.” Can you explain this induction with meditation? If practice starts from the eighth Alaya consciousness, what is the practice? thanksgiving! Answer: Induction and meditation are two situations. Induction is the direct communication between the heart. Telepathy, as modern people say. Belong to everyone’s inherent ability. The way of chanting the Buddha may be both cultivation and induction. This depends on the individual’s intentions and methods of cultivation. Induction can be either active or passive. The depth of the Buddha’s induction is also related to the karma of the person. The only way to read the Buddha is to know what will happen. . . . The Buddha’s own practice can be practiced throughout. The extent to which you can cultivate depends on the karma of each person. It is impossible for ordinary people to start from the eighth consciousness directly. There…
