Episode 32

Let’s continue to talk about the Great Sun Sutra. Before I could talk about it, I would like to say something before. At the beginning, I asked my friends in front of the screen to sit upright, not do anything else, and listen attentively. What do you want to practice when sitting upright? This is what I have experienced. I will share with you - you must cultivate the virtue of not moving.You sit there as the Lotus Sutra says that the body and mind are not moving. You sit there and don’t move around. You move here and there, and change your left foot to the right foot. You just move around in fifty minutes. Are you not a Buddha? What kind of meditation do you still practice? It’s all a lie; what principles of meditation do you learn are all a lie, and even if you become a monk for fifty minutes, you will move around, and you will be completely useless and useless.Therefore, you must sit and not move. If you want to cultivate your mind and not move, you will not move first. You cannot stand the pain or numbness and move around and have no future.From now on, when you listen to the sutras, your body and mind are not moved while listening to the sutras. Only by practicing the virtue of movement can you achieve unmoving wisdom and even unmoving wisdom.Unmoving wisdom is a Bodhisattva, and Unmoving wisdom is a Buddha. Therefore, this practice is not finished in just one sentence or two sentences. It is not something that needs to be spoken with your mouth, it is something that needs to be done, and every thought of your body and mind. If you do something bad, you will be revealed as soon as you see it.

You just leak your air, and you say leaking stuff in Mandarin. When you see what you do, you will know at a glance.So there is no way to talk about the Dharma and the practice of Buddhism.What I am saying is not that I am telling you, I am also trying to do this myself. If I can’t do it myself, I dare not tell you. Do you understand? So you are listening to the sutras, reading the sutras, and living in daily life. You must first cultivate yourself and not move to achieve the unmoving mind. If the mind is not moved, there will be no worries and no worries to enter into samadhi. The mind is consistent with the wisdom of the Buddha, and is consistent with all the pure wisdom and merits of the Buddha, otherwise it will not correspond; otherwise, it will be useless to scratch the itch at all. Okay, let go and see.

[The first scripture of the Great Vairocana Buddha's transformation ]

The great Vairocana becoming a Buddha is about the great Vairocana becoming a Buddha and blessing all sentient beings after becoming a Buddha. Then, the sutra is spoken.Why? Without the blessing of divine transformation, the minds of sentient beings cannot be illuminated, and the realm does not have that realm, and there is no way to correspond. Therefore, the blessing of Buddha is one thing. You also want the part you want to do. You should basically do what you should do, so don’t know anything, do nothing, and have no intention of anything. Just let go and be careless of your body and mind, and you want to get the blessing of Buddha and be able to enter the wisdom of Buddha. There is nothing in this.For example, why can a student learn the teacher's knowledge or art? Because he listens hard and concentrates on studying, what he needs to do is that you don't work hard on your own. Just hope that the teacher will teach me what is the use? So teaching is two aspects, and both must be in line with each other. You can't just pray that the teacher and students don't work hard, you must work hard on the spot, and work hard when you go home, and keep practicing.

The sutra says that intoxicating and practicing, and then intoxicating, the continuous intoxication will change continuously, so it is called intoxication, which is the essence of the Lankavatara Sutra.What is smoked and turbulent? It means constant incredible smoke and turbulent rotation, because the effect of this smoke is incredible. You cannot study or analyze it, and scientific instruments cannot catch it. Once you smoke it like this, it will have that smell.But if you use it to analyze the molecules and ions in it, you can’t analyze them, so you will continue to infuse and practice.Let this body change continuously, what will it become? It becomes consistent with the one who can smoke it, you are intoxicated; what can it be intoxicated? The law that can smoke it, the wisdom that can smoke it.If you are so intoxicated, what is this intoxication? Although you listen to the sutras and Dharma, it seems that Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are intoxicating you, in fact, you are mainly intoxicating yourself, because it is nothing wrong with him, but if you don’t put it under him, you will run away, have delusions, or be called sitting and riding, and the mind will run away when the person sits there and runs away from the spirit; the person sits there and goes out to run a horse and ride.Whether it is spiritual or sitting, it is so-called imaginary and absent-minded. That's it. If the mind is not here, the mind will run to New Zealand and it will be a mess.

Therefore, if you sit here and listen to the lecture, you are practicing the virtue of not moving. You are sitting upright, your body does not move, and your mind does not move. Don’t sit there and run a horse.The Great Vairocana became a Buddha and had a divine transformation. What are the changes in various supernatural powers? Talking about the outdoor scene where you are performing prepare, Prepare, what to prepare? Take all sentient beings into that state and prepare to listen to the sutras.So why is the blessing of the divine transformation? The Buddha cannot beat the drums and drums when he wants to preach. I cannot preach this way. He can change his supernatural powers to attract everyone's attention. On the one hand, he also makes him believe and respect, so he starts to talk.For example, the Buddha emits a light to make everyone's mind purify and start talking. It is not fun, but the one is called field control. Therefore, the blessing of the divine transformation is to preach the field control of the sutra; the sutras spoken by the blessing of the divine transformation.

Shu means annotation, and the first volume is the first volume.

[The story of the monk and his party Acharya ]

This is the mistake of Taisho Kang, that is, this is the record of Acharya, his notes, but who is he talking about? The Three Gangs of Good Fearlessness.Therefore, we should talk about the Three Sects of Good and Fearlessness, and the Acharya Records, which should be like this.Who is the author? The author should be good and fearless, not a single line. Look at this. This is the headless case.

Who is Shan Wuwei? Shan Wuwei is the teacher and master of Yixing Acharya, Shan Wuwei Acharya, one of the eight great ancestors of the Zhenyan Sect.Dragon, Dragon Wisdom, Vajra Wisdom, Not Empty, Good and Fearless, One Action, Benefit, Propagation of Dharma (Master Kakukai ),Last time I said that the three great masters in the early Tang Dynasty were wrong and said that it was Emperor Taizong of Tang, but in fact it was Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.The three great masters in the early Tang Dynasty were also called the three great masters in Kaiyuan: Vajra wisdom, non-emptiness, goodness and fearlessness, and came in during the Tang Dynasty.Long Meng and Long Zhi are both from the West, and they have not come to China.Long Meng is translated as Nagarjuna. Vajra and Bukong are all from the West. Yixing and Huiguo are us Chinese and Japanese.Therefore, there are two Chinese among these eight great ancestors, which is called the Eight Patriarchs of Chuanxi.The eight great ancestors all have their own characters for seeds. (Seed word )This is their seed word, and I will come back when you truly learn Tantra.

What is a monk? Sanskrit sramana, It's very different from Chinese.The meaning of monks is to die for the destruction, practice precepts, concentration, wisdom, and eliminate greed, anger, and ignorance. It is called monks.If you write about a monk, it means that he is a monk. You should not call yourself a monk by yourself, nor should you call him a monk by yourself.Recently, someone from mainland China faxed me to say what kind of merit he would do, saying that he had converted to his name and added a Dharma name to his name.For example, when his master gave him a Dharma name, he added a Dharma name, and we asked him why he added a Dharma name. He said I have converted.The lay people who convert to the country cannot interpret it, but the monks can interpret it. A monk adds an explanation on the Dharma name; the lay people just say that you are Ruru and the Dharma name is good.

Acharya achnrya, What is Acharya? Acharya is translated into Chinese as a teacher. The master who teaches me his subjects or Buddhism is called a teacher.So if Acharya is in Chinese, it is equivalent to what we call a master. In Sanskrit, no matter how he kisses a teacher, he is still a teacher, but we Chinese people especially like to get married. If you add a father to the teacher, you will be very close. My teacher is my father.Master, my teacher is like my father. The teacher’s teacher is called Master, who is a relative; Guanyin Bodhisattva is my grandmother, so Guanyin’s mother; Buddha adds a ancestor, Buddha is my grandfather, Buddha.There is also a local saying in Taiwan that all the gods and statues are called Buddha, so all the gods and Buddhas are my grandfather, so Buddha.Even the Chinese recognize Guanyin as their adopted mother and become Guanyin's adopted son, these are all tricks that the Chinese themselves have played.Acharya is a personal teacher, teacher or master. It was originally a common name. The result of its evolution was that the general master who taught all Buddhist teachings was called Acharya, but the result of its evolution became that only the teacher in special circumstances was called Acharya.

There are two main types: one is the precept master in the precept field, usually the third master, called Acharya; the third master and seven proofs are also your master, and the seven proofs are also your master.The third master is the acharya who receives precepts and the rituals of the Acharya and the professor. This is the third master called the Acharya.The seven proofs are called the Acharya. The three masters and seven proofs are written in the Dharma according to the precepts. If you want to pass on the precepts, you must have three masters and seven proofs to pass on the three altars of great precepts and Bodhisattva precepts.

Everything is very chaotic in the Dharma-Ending Age, and the precepts are also very chaotic. If you participate in the precepts venue without the three masters and seven proofs, the precepts you climbed will not be in accordance with the Dharma. If you have the three precepts.To receive the Bodhisattva precepts, you must also have three masters and seven proofs. Usually, the Bodhisattva precepts are done after the three altars of great precepts. In this way, there is no need to ask the three masters and seven proofs, because it is not easy for ten masters to invite them.Sometimes, for example, if you want to hire seven masters in foreign countries or in Western Europe, it is not easy for them to hire seven masters, so they can facilitate the three masters to carry the Bodhisattva precepts. However, the Bodhisattva precepts may be more convenient, but at least the three masters need to have them. If you want one master, your Bodhisattva precepts will never be allowed and will not be in accordance with the Dharma.If you receive monks and nuns, you must have three masters and seven masters, and you will not be able to obtain precepts.So let me tell you that if you want to learn Buddhism, you must understand these things, otherwise you will think you have taken the precepts, but you will not have the precepts as a result.

Moreover, when you enter the altar, you must have three people at a jar, three people at a jar, and three people go up to take the precepts together, not to say that you will be like this together.If there are too many people and thousands of people suffer together, it seems that they will suffer together. There is no such thing. No matter how many people you have, you will have to go to the altar. It must be like retail and cannot be wholesale.

OK, this is a kind of precept master in the precept field called Acharya. It is a formal name. Some precept plates contain precept Acharya, and some are changed to precept monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, etc. That's fine, but I tell you that the word monks are incorrect translations.I have already said that because the monk's Sanskrit and monks are completely unreliable, the masters of the Tang Dynasty have all said that that is a wrong translation, but he is used to monks and there is no way.Later, the monk was originally a honorary title, and Shang meant the above, just like we have a Shangshu in Chinese? Shang means that the book passed down from ancient times is Shangshu, and Shang means the same as Shang.Books that talk about ancient history and books from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors are the Book of Shangshu; there are two types of acharya: 1. Acharya from the precepts, but this is temporary. When the precepts are released, it will no longer be called Acharya. This is the precepts.

At the same time, the qualified master of the esoteric Buddhism was called Acharya. This master is a title, a permanent position, and always like this. As long as he has received training, study, passed the exam, and received the Dharma empowerment, he is called Acharya. This becomes his official title. Unlike the Acharya in the precepts field, he is called Acharya for the time being, but the Acharya in the esoteric Buddhism is always an Acharya, which becomes a very noble title, which means his inheritance, practice, and status.

I have a piece of information about Acharya here. If you go online, you can download it. I will tell you. You can download it afterwards.Talking about the biography of Acharya, he has published the volume from the Buddha's dynasty (5)Sixteen, I will tell you so that you can understand Acharya better.

It was March of the year.The Eastern Capital stayed behind Wei Anshi. (The emperor ordered the prefect of the Eastern Capital to be called Wei Anshi. )The monks from Songshan were sent to the palace with an edict (Take the emperor's edict and holy paper to Henan Songshan to invite the monks and his party. The palace is the palace; go to the palace )。Don't go to the death (A group of acharya said that he would not go when he was sick. Just like the Sixth Patriarch, people in ancient times often did this, but modern people didn't. When modern people heard that the president summoned him, they flew away, and then took photos of reporters and hung them on the wall. )。Escape into Dangyang Mountain, Jingzhou (If you are sick, you will flee to Dangyang Mountain in Jingzhou and hide. )。Old Tang Shiyun (There are new and old Tang history, which tells the story of )。The surname Zhang (Acharya's common surname is Zhang )。First name (At the beginning, it was called Zhang Sui )。Grandson of the Grand His Majesty the Grand His Majesty (Duke of Shan was once named Duke of Shan, and his grandfather was very big; Zhang Gongjin's grandson was descended from a famous family. )。The son of Wugong Order (His father's name is Wugong, and his name is Lingqiang. If he doesn't understand classical Chinese, he will say that his martial arts are very good, and that this person is a person with strong martial arts skills, so it is difficult to interpret Buddhist scriptures. )。

Shaocong reads the history of Zi (I was very smart when I was very young. I read the classics, history, and the collection of Zishi. At that time, I was skipping school. )。I once visited the Taoist priest Yin Chong (Once visited a Taoist priest named Yin Chong )。Read it through Taixuan Sutra (There is a Taoist sutra called Taixuan Sutra, and he borrowed Taixuan Sutra from Taoist priests. )。Return for a few days (I'll repay it to him after borrowing it for a few days )。Chong Yue (This Taoist Yin Chong said )。I haven't figured out this sutra for many years. (This sutra is very subtle and I haven't understood it after reading it for many years )。Ziyi's research is not absent (You should study it carefully and not take it like this. Just take it like this and take it back to me. )。Go (A line of acharya said )。It's been investigated (I've figured it out )。Because I wrote the Taiyan Xuantu and the righteous decisive (So he took out what he wrote called Taiyan Xuantu and Yijue, which may be explained. He drew a Taiyan Xuantu and wrote some explanations. )。Chong Lan's shock (Taoist Yin Chong was shocked after seeing it )。Because of talking about his abyss (Because it is so; so I talked to him about the profound truth )。Retreat to say (When he goes back, Yin Chong will tell others )。Then I will have a baby boy (This young boy is Yan Hui, who is the eldest disciple of Confucius. He is the smartest and most virtuous. I heard that if Yan Hui didn't die early, his achievements would definitely be better than Confucius. )。

It is famous all over the world (Therefore, everyone knows his name because of this incident )。Chu Wusan thought about his knowledge and practice, so please make friends (Wu Sansi is Wu Zetian's younger brother. Because his sister is the queen, he is of course very powerful.Wu Sansi admired his studies and actions very much, so he wanted to make friends with him. How about the Acharya in his line? The emperor escaped after he invited him. )。Walking and hiding (Now he also escaped from him. This man is really a practitioner. What medal or plaque is given to him by the president of the modern world? Take a photo of the reporter and will be in love with you forever. )。Find a monk and travel around the world to seek extraordinary skills (It was a quick search, and soon he became a monk and traveled all over the world to seek various different academics. )。Go to Tiantai Guoqing Temple (One day he arrived at Guoqing Temple in Tiantai Mountain )。I saw dozens of ancient pine trees in the other courtyard with running water (I saw dozens of ancient pine trees in front of a villa in Guoqing Temple, and a small stream in front of the door. )。Standing on the door screen, I heard the monks calculating the sounds in the courtyard (A line of acharya heard the sound of a monk Busuan in the courtyard next to the door. Busuan is the divination hexagram. )。And he said to his disciples (This monk told his disciple )。Today, a disciple will come from afar to ask for my algorithm (Since it is the first-class Yi Ching, in fact, this is wrong. Monks should not count these things.The monk told his disciple that today there would be a disciple who came from afar to ask me to learn algorithms. Of course, it was just a finger-cutting viewer. )。Is there no one to guide you after you have already reached the door (He should have reached the door, why no one has led him in? )。That is, one counts (Make another algorithm )。The water flows westward in front of the door (He said that the water in the stream in front of the door was originally flowing eastward, and when the water flowed upside down, the disciples arrived, but it was strange that there was really a backflow. In Hualien, Taitung, there was a water that was really flowing upside down, and it was flowing from the bottom to the top, so I couldn't figure out why; and it was not just a short river with a few hundred meters. )。The disciples have also arrived.The fruits flowed westward when we returned to Guxi.So he followed his words.He rushed in and asked for the method (So he responded to this and went in quickly and asked him to teach the algorithm )。He gave it all (The monk taught him all the Dharma )。Suidong Li Xiang Yin and Yang Pushing Steps (Acharya learned that at that time, the phenomenon of the calendar is astronomy and geography, and the steps are calculated. )。Return to Mount Song (Later, I entered Mount Song again )。Zen Master Yipuji studied the purpose of Zen.And escape to Dangyang Mountain.He also learned Vini from his lawyer Huiwu (Learning Law )。All the scriptures will never forget (That's great, just like Ananda, as long as you read the scriptures once and you will never forget them for a lifetime, you will be able to memorize them )。Let’s not say that we will never forget it in our lifetime. After watching it for three or five days, we have forgotten everything we say.

March 8th.Xuanzong sent Zhang Qia, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites (Xuanzong is Xuanzong of Tang )。I brought an edict to Dangyang Mountain (I also took the edict to visit Dangyang Mountain )。The monks and his party went to the palace.If you do it again, you will not be allowed to leave. (This is the second time I asked. Acharya thought he had already quit this time. If he couldn't quit this time, he would go. )。Order to place Guangtai Temple (The emperor placed the holy paper in Guangtai Hall and lived in the palace )。The emperor visited several times to safeguard the country and pacify the people (How Emperor Xuanzong of Tang often went to visit Anguo to appease the people )。Xingqi Chen Wuyin (The Acharya told him, and there was no concealment. )。I won’t talk about the following, I will talk about something again, or it may be better than meditation. (Some people say that Acharya is good at memorizing things )。The emperor ordered his order to leave the palace and show it to him in one day (One day the emperor asked someone to put the names of all the registered people in the palace and the names of the eunuchs in the three palaces and six courtyards on it, probably thousands or even tens of thousands of people. )。After reading it.Let the eunuch hold the book against the emperor and restore it (After reading it, the acharya handed over the household registration to the eunuch and the eunuch, and the acharya kept it in front of the emperor and asked him to deal with it. )。Not bad (A word is good. If you say it makes sense, it's just a name. Oh, I don't know what kind of brains are )。The emperor was surprised and looked around and said to his left and right.The saints are also (The emperor was surprised to tell the people around him that this man is really a saint. )。It is a key to frequently consulting the Buddha's heart (I often saw him asking him about his intentions for Buddhism )。The graceful and sages are the sacred and prosperous (The acharya was very dignified and graceful, and he gave lectures to the emperor and his relatives, and his reputation became higher and higher. )。People in the world.Ask the Emperor to follow him.Called the Heavenly Master (Because the emperor asked him, he called him the Heavenly Master.The emperor is heaven, so he is a heavenly master. )

It was November of that year.The Zen master and his party were sleeping in Huayan Temple (Zen Master Yixing lies in Huayan Temple when he gets sick )。Old Tang history.The emperor dreamed of traveling to the temple overnight and saw a room with rope bed, bamboo window, and the weather was desolate. (One night the emperor dreamed that he went to a Buddhist temple and saw a room with a bed and bamboo windows that didn't look very good. )。When I was walking, I heard a sick person (At dawn, I heard that a group of acharya was sick )。The emperor sent an envoy to ask (The emperor sent a central envoy to ask the marquis )。Received the situation of the residence (After seeing it, Zhong Envoy came back to tell the story of the Acharya's residence. )。In conjunction with the dream (Just like what the emperor saw in his dream )。Emperor sighed for a long time (The emperor sighed, why? He was not luxurious, because he was so favored by the emperor, so he would have whatever he wanted, but his bed was simple, the window was also very bad, and it was very simple, so the emperor was very impressed and sighed. )。One day my apprentice helped me organize my clothes and said, Acharya, your clothes are so old, some are not clean and dirty, I said, "There are no new clothes for monks. In ancient times, people all had 10-nine clothes, but I haven't even worn 10-nine clothes yet, right?" When I came back from the United States twenty years ago, the clothes I wore in the United States were very casual, and that's how it was. On the contrary, the monks in the United States were simple.After returning to Taiwan, my disciples at home said, "Master, you wear this way, so we disciples feel that we have no face because your clothes are wrinkled and cannot be washed clean."I tell you that the monks wear short shirts for a lifetime. Don’t be scared. They wear them until they are torn. They have to be repaired even if they are torn. Unlike lay people who have to change them if they are older, they don’t need to be so troublesome. Monks don’t need to be like this. Life is very simple. We have always worn the most popular clothes, from ancient times to the present.Shoes were also popular in the Tang Dynasty to the present time, and monk socks were the same. Look at the monk socks that Tang Xuanzang carried on to seek scriptures. You can see that his monk socks were the same as we wore. His pants also folded their horns and put them on. So I went to Japan to show them my monk socks and monk socks. They were so envious and admired.That one is really worn, it's so strange and solemn, and very interesting.

It goes without saying that since the Tang Dynasty, at least it has become popular since the Tang Dynasty. It has never been popular before.The emperor praised him for his simplicity and simplicity. Don’t look at my acharya, this one is so beautiful. This one is inherited by the Japanese Shinyan Sect. Only high-level acharya can wear this one, so I can’t do anything about it. Moreover, this one is very expensive, and I don’t have to wear it like this.But in order to prove the Dharma as a manifestation, I am a sham who is like a false acharya, and that's it.It’s like we monks must wear cassocks. What do you wear if you don’t wear cassocks? Just like wearing red ancestral robes when teaching Dafa, it is also a method of demonstrating evidence. What about red ancestral robes? It was also given by the emperor. Originally, monks did not wear big red or big purple, but you dare not wear what the emperor gave? The emperor gave them not wearing beheads, so it is not for you to become a monk or not.

I have ordered the ten great masters of the capital to set up an altar to pray for blessings (Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ordered ten great practitioners in the capital to form an altar to pray for a line of acharya. )。Then I'll be in a short while (The disease of acharya stopped a little, not so serious, slightly better )。The emperor ordered the emperor to accompany him to Xinfeng.A few quick changes.The emperor's personal request (The emperor went to see him in person )。Then he sat down and died in a bath (A group of acharya died by bathing and sitting upright, which means sitting and transforming into a person. It was very common for the great masters to transform into a person in ancient times, and we are now incredible. )。Forty-five in the Spring and Autumn (Only forty-five years old )。The emperor cried so much (Emperor Xuanzong of Tang cried sadly )。Stop for three days (Not going to court for three days )。There was an edict to mourn the silence for three to seven days (The edict was suspended for twenty-one days to let everyone give gifts )。Become a gift from both China and abroad.His appearance is like a living.And the hair is long (After Nirvana, his appearance seemed to be alive, and his beard and hair grew day by day )。

By the way, I will tell you that Master Kukai was sitting in Takano Mountain. Takano Mountain said he was entering into meditation. Every once in a while, the director of Takano Mountain's head would open a tower to help him cut his hair and shave his beard.So I don’t know which day Master Konghai is born again to save sentient beings, just like Venerable Mahakasyapa.It's incredible. Today is September 30th, a great day.

Before dedicating me, I remind everyone not to forget to cut off more than a thousand Dharmas and rebuild them now, and to protect the Dharma and the Dharma’s place to gain infinite blessings and boundless blessings, and quickly enter Bodhi.

Put your hands together
