The self-nature of freeing from defilement is liberation

In this world, there are different understandings of "liberation". People generally believe that the so-called liberation means that there is a place, place, and destination to go. In fact, liberation does not refer to the external environment where there is another place to go. The liberation mentioned in Buddhism is the achievement of liberation in the mind. Therefore, liberation exists in people's own minds, but because of the coverage of various disadvantages and habits of the two obstacles, liberation cannot be revealed. If all the dirt and obstacles are eliminated, the merit of liberation will naturally arise and obtain self-nature liberation. Therefore, we can also say that the self-nature of freeing from defilement is liberation.
 
This merit of liberation is not originally missing, but is then re-created. For example, fire and heat are inseparable, and the merit of liberation is what we originally possess. But why don’t we know the merits of liberation that we possess? Because of the obstruction of the ignorance of the external dust, although we originally have the merit of liberation, we are still flowing in the cycle of reincarnation in the three realms. Let me make another metaphor. It is like a poor person with treasures, and his wealth and clothing are quite poor. The reason for his poverty is that he does not know that he has treasures. Because he does not know how to use his own treasures, he cannot eliminate poverty and get wealth. The same is true for us. Because of the contamination and obstruction of various external dust and afflictions, we do not know that we have the wealth of liberation merit, which makes it impossible for us to obtain the wealth of liberation.
 
The merit of liberation has existed since time immemorial. It does not distinguish between men and women, race, good people and evil people, and is everywhere in all sentient beings. Even if a person commits uninterrupted sins, the merit of liberation in his own nature will not be reduced or lost.; The so-called merit of liberation in Buddhism is inherently complete and will not be lost due to any other power. However, the fruit of liberation requires us to work diligently on the path to liberation. “Liberation cannot be achieved through the placement of others or external forces. Although the Buddha taught the way to liberation, he could not use his supernatural powers to achieve liberation! To achieve the fruit of liberation, you still have to rely on your own efforts. The more you remove the filth and obstacles of your own mind, the more you will be able to see the original merit of liberation. Therefore, the Buddha said, "I tell you the way to liberation, and it depends on your own self to achieve liberation. ”

The Great Treasure Dharma King delivered the presentation on April 12, 2001
