Zen Heart Sect Style

Zen Heart Sect Style

Some people often ask me whether the master is Zen Buddhism or Pure Land Buddhism; whether it is exoteric Buddhism or Tantric Buddhism; whether it is the Southern Buddhism or the Northern Buddhism; I teach people to chant Buddha's name later, and then teach people to chant mantras after a while; I often ask my disciples to go deep into one subject, and even concentrate on studying one sutra, but I read it one by one by one.I really can’t figure out what my master wants to teach us, so how should I work hard?

Most scholars have this doubt, and few people know my intentions! This is all because I have no virtue, no instruction, and mislead myself. I have not yet completed my life and death, and my original heart has not yet realized, and I dare to fool others here. It is a sin and a shame.

Although I have not seen my own treasures or local scenery, I know that "Buddha only spreads the essence of the Buddha, and the master secretly puts his heart into his heart."The Buddhas only open up the knowledge and views of sentient beings" as "the Buddha's knowledge and views"; the ancestors of all generations only taught people to "know the mind and see the nature".Therefore, I target this purpose: only one mind is passed on, and there is no other intention.I hope all scholars can understand my intentions!

Now I understand the way to guide the scholars: answer according to the opportunity and break your false attachments; now I suddenly know what I know.The so-called: "The bell will not ring, and no one will not answer without asking or answering."I would like to advise all scholars to ask questions if there are any doubts. If the doubts are eliminated, they will be clear. If they are clear, they will be clear. If they are clear, they will be free and free!

The guidance method is as follows:

1. Have doubts about the teacher

The first teaching method

Student: Is Master enlightened?

Master: I have realized it.

Life: What did you realize?

Master: I realized that you have not realized it.

The second teaching method

Student: Is Master enlightened?

Master: I haven’t realized it.

Life: How can you teach people without realization?

Master: There is no treatment of ignorance and enlightenment.

The third teaching method

Student: Is Master enlightened?

Teacher: What does it have to do with you if I understand or not? Why not ask yourself whether I understand or not.

2. Dissatisfied with the teacher

born:……

The second teaching method

Student: Did Master break the precepts?

Teacher: No.

Life: All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have violated the precepts. Master, are you more skilled than them?

Master: Do you believe in the empty appearance of all dharmas?

Life: Believe!

Teacher: The merits and demerits are false names, and their nature is empty, so I say "no".

The third teaching method

Student: Did Master break the precepts?

Teacher: There was in the past, but not in the present.

Student: So, or not?

Teacher: It doesn’t matter whether you have or not. The key is whether you understand or not!

4. Ask yourself

The first teaching method

Student: How to understand one's own mind?

Teacher: How do you ask others about your own heart?

Student: I asked because I don’t understand.

Teacher: How much does your pocket cost?

Student: 800 yuan.

Teacher: Why don’t you know the heart if you know money?

Sheng: Money has a physical form and appearance, but the mind has no form, so money is easy to know but difficult to understand.

Teacher: Why not start from difficult things?

Student: I can’t start.

Teacher: It’s you who are lazy, you are on the bottom... until the truth comes out.

The second teaching method

Student: How to understand one's own mind?

Teacher: Go and find your heart!

Student: Not found.

Teacher: Why can’t you find it?

Life: Because I have no intention to find it.

Master: Since you have no intention to find it, you can find it no matter how hard you are!

Student: What did you find?

Teacher: I’m not interested!

The third teaching method

Student: How to understand one's own mind?

Teacher: Observe the mind.

Student: How to observe?

Teacher: The mind is sometimes bitter and sometimes happy, sometimes good and sometimes evil, sometimes good and sometimes bad.Which heart is you?

Student: They are all.

Teacher: How many hearts do you have?

Born: one.

Master: Since you are one, how can you have more hearts? Therefore, all kinds of emotions are the hearts of attachment. You mistakenly regard the false mind as the true mind!

Life: What is true heart?

Master: No mind is true, and this name is also a false name.

5. May I ask about the meaning of law

The first teaching method

Student: How to understand Buddhist scriptures?

Teacher: If you know your own mind, you will understand.

Life: What does the sutra have to do with the heart?

Master: Then what do you do when you read the scriptures?

born:…………

The second teaching method

Student: How to understand Buddhist scriptures?

Master: Looking at the scriptures is like looking at you in the mirror. Every sentence you want to return to your heart and know yourself.

Life: But I have been watching it for so long, but I am still myself.

Master: Because you only read the sutras, but you don’t read yourself all the time.

born:…………

The third teaching method

Student: How to understand Buddhist scriptures?

Master: The mind is pure and you will understand it naturally.

Life: When will you be pure?

Teacher: When will you go to have tea?

Sheng: If you want to drink, go and drink.

Teacher: All the results are not your own determination, so why should you hesitate?

Chapter 1. Teaching Method

By responding this, let students realize their own mind at the moment, without any convenience, no gradual or fixed laws, and that is the present.Those who know me are the heart!
