Chapter 5 Convenience Products
1. Convenient meaning
Convenience is expedient.In order to educate, the sage "uses the wisdom of harmony, and understands power and changes", and is in a timely manner, and is helpful to benefit all living beings.As the commentary says: "The ritual of benefiting and happiness is called the direction, and the response to the time is called the convenience."There are three meanings: 1. The method is the method, which is the use of convenience. The method of the two wisdoms of power can be used in various ways.2. The secret of the square is the secret of the square, and the wonderful way is the wonderful way. As the Lotus Sutra says: "If I know this form, the Buddhas in the ten directions are the same. If you stop and stop, you will not be able to think about my wonderful way."3. Convenience is a door. The door has the meaning of being able to communicate. From the door that can communicate, it can achieve the meaning of being accessible. The Lotus Sutra says: "Open the convenient door and show the true appearance."The Book of Changes says that there are four types of convenience: one is convenient for gaining interest, the other is smart for making it easier, the third is convenient for giving, and the fourth is convenient for integrating.
In the scriptures, Vimalakirti lives in Viagra with good convenience, and his appearance of illness is the use and manifestation of convenience.In the first Buddha's Kingdom, the cause and effect of Pure Land was discovered and the cause and effect were explained, and the authenticity of this sutra was explained. Although the authenticity was clear, "the wonderful use was not revealed." Therefore, he also used the convenience of showing the disease and asked the Buddha to send people to ask about the disease and initiated the purpose of "suppressing the small, lamenting the great and praising the perfect", which caused the use of "true and real compensation".
Master Xu believes that this chapter has three meanings as "convenience": 1. "The first peak head is without a place of seeing each other". In fact, there is no law in place. All kinds of giving are nothing but convenience, so it is convenient until you see Ah-gu Buddha.Pure name to transform others and cultivate the Buddha's kingdom, so everything you encounter will be used as a resource... This is all "information in the door of convenience".2. Vimalakirti purifies the body of the Dharma Realm, and only uses convenience to transform the world, and widely does various things that are dominated by "harmony and dust" according to the category, so this title is convenient.3. Vimalakirti's merits gather together, and only uses convenience to show old age and illness. From this point of view, this is actually the basis of various conveniences in the Pure Name, so the title is.
The above is a brief discussion on the meaning of convenience and the types of convenience, and the convenient application of this sutra, which briefly discusses the origin and interest of the title of convenience, and the following explanation of the main text.
2. Praise the Ten Virtues of Elders
At that time, there was an elder in the Great City of Viali, named Vimalakirti.
Elders have ten kinds of virtues of growing up, so they are called elders.1. The surname is noble, 2. The position is high, 3. The wealth is great, 4. The mighty, 5. The wisdom is profound, 6. The age is old, 7. The practice of purity, 8. The etiquette is prepared, 9. The superior respects, 10. The inferior return is returned.Because Vimalakirti has possessed these ten virtues, he is respected as an elder.
From then on, there are ten differences between this sutra and the Buddha's Kingdom.
1. The place is different. The best place is in the Anluo Tree Garden, and now it is in the Vimalakirche room.
2. The master of transformation is different. The Buddha of the highest grade is the master of transformation, and now Vimalakirti is the master of transformation.
3. The contents of the teachings are different. The top grade explains the cause and effect of the Pure Land, and now distinguishes the cause and effect of the Dharma body; the bottom grade purifies the Buddha's land, and now achieves sentient beings.
4. The disciples are different. The top grade indicates that there are many people in Taoism, but now there are many people in the world.
5. The benefits are different. The best grades are clear about the benefits of large and shallow depth. Now we only distinguish between the simplest intentions.
6. The difference between the two is different. The top grade only explains the transformation of Sakyamuni for a moment. Now it is the pure name of the pure name, and it is always skillful.
7. The Taoist customs are different. The best grade shows the convenience of becoming a monk, but now it is clear that it is skillful in the customs.
8. The guest and the host are different. The top grade explains that Sakyamuni temporarily stops the temple as a guest, and now distinguishes the name of the Pure One, the old residence of Viaya as the main.
9. It is different if you have a disease or not. The best grade shows that it is convenient if you have a disease or not. Now it shows that the disease is skillful.
10. The seasons are different. The first meeting of Shangpin Ming'an Garden is held, and now we will preface the current affairs of the abbot.
Also, "There is an elder" indicates the location of Vimalakirti, and "named Vimalakirti", which shows its name.
At that time, there was an elder in Dazhuangyan City, named Jingming.
I have offered to countless Buddhas, deeply cultivated the good books, and achieved the patience of non-birth and eloquence without hindrance.
The note says that the Tathagata has eliminated all kinds of troubles, so he uses "wisdom" as his name. Although the Bodhisattva sees the true reality of all dharmas and can endure and not retreat, "the great enlightenment has not been achieved, and his intelligence is still weak. Although he realizes that there is no birth, he can bear it and himself, so he has no time to take it, so he is called forbearance."The Tathagata has sufficient intelligence, is free in the Dharma, and always has a leisure place, so he does not have the reputation of "forbearance".
It is also said that the predecessor of Vimalakirti was the ancient Buddha, Jin Mi Tathagata. He offered countless Buddhas in the causal and fruit land for a long time. It can be said that the roots of goodness have been deeply planted, and deep cultivation is wisdom.The blessings and wisdom are extraordinary, and they are the Buddha's caste, and they are lamenting that their surname is noble.A rare book is the reality, and the reality is the foundation of all good things.It is inevitable to have this high position of "realizing the state of non-birth".He also uses the four unobstructed eloquence to "preach the Dharma and educate sentient beings", which shows that Bodhisattvas are not Bodhisattvas of ordinary fruit.
The Bodhisattva has offered countless Buddhas for countless kalpas, and has already cultivated the rare books, attained the high level of the Dharma of Non-birth, and possessed the four unobstructed eloquences.
Playing magical powers, accusing all the generals of the generals, gaining fearlessness, and overcoming demons and resentment.
The note says, "Because of supernatural powers and supernatural powers, they also use their divine power to prove their eloquence." For example, Nagarjuna debated with the heretics, and the heretics asked, "What is the heaven doing now?" and replied, "The heavens are fighting with Asuras now."And asked how he saw it, and the Bodhisattva gave him a present enlightenment.At that time, the sword was broken and the head of Asura fell from the air, and he saw Asura facing the array of heavens in the void.Only when the heretics see this fact, they admire his eloquence.There are five kinds of supernatural powers: 1. The ability to understand the eyes of the heaven, 2. The ability to understand the ears of the heaven, 3. The ability to understand the heart of other people, 4. The ability to understand the fate, 5. The ability to understand the magical feet.Only Buddha has achieved the enlightenment of all defilements, and a total of six enlightenments.
General holding includes two aspects: 1. Be able to maintain good and not lose, 2. Be able to maintain evil and not arise.Zhaopu says that the sutra says that there are five hundred kinds of general holdings, and it also says that there are infinite general holdings.Luo Shi said, "Wisdom can hold the truth, which is also called holding."
Fearlessness means fearlessness.Get it.It means to achieve.To sum up the above explanation, playing magical powers is a wonderful use of external manifestations. Holding good without losing them, and holding evil without arises is the perfection of inner virtue; being complete inside and outside, and being consistent with inside and outside is a lament of the great wealth of Bodhisattvas.Obtaining the four fearless things and subdue the evil and evil. This is the spirit of the great hero who was born, praises the powerful achievements of Bodhisattvas in the game of Samadhi and the magical powers of Bodhisattvas, and all the methods of upholding good and eliminating evil. To achieve the four fearless things and subdue the evil and evil.
Enter the deep Dharma, be good at wisdom, understand the convenience, achieve great vows, understand the interests of sentient beings, and be able to distinguish the sharp and dull senses.
Zhao Zun said that all dharmas have profound meanings and principles, and there are countless dharmas that Bodhisattvas can penetrate into.The sutra says: Wisdom is considered to be a mother, and convenience is considered to be a father.Wisdom is like the old mother of a Bodhisattva, and the convenience is like the father of a Bodhisattva. Without the wisdom of "the other shore of real wisdom" and the convenience of "useless use and achieve convenience", Bodhisattvas cannot go deep into the halls of all dharmas.If you are good at wisdom, you can attain real wisdom, and you will benefit yourself from real emptiness; if you are able to understand convenience, you can obtain power wisdom, and enter the world and the vast world to save sentient beings. This is to sigh at the depth of wisdom of the Bodhisattva.Since you have deep wisdom, you must have great vows. Because your actions are as full and your wishes are as useful, the Bodhisattva must first make great vows in practice. Now that you are good at wisdom and understand the convenience, the great vows will naturally be fulfilled. At the same time, you will be able to "illuminate all the opportunities and understand the functions of the two wisdoms, which is the depth of wisdom."Bodhisattvas can penetrate into the profound Dharma, be good at using wisdom to save sentient beings, and understand various conveniences, so they can achieve perfection in all great vows.Understand the thoughts and actions of sentient beings, and at the same time, they can distinguish between sharp and dull natures of various natures.
After a long time in Buddhism and Taoism, my mind has become pure and pure, and I will definitely be able to think well if I do anything.
Jizang Yishu says that there is no thought of ordinary people and the two vehicles being able to achieve something mixed together, so it is called "purity"."The right view of the non-dual view, the right way is present," so it is called "familiar".Only by being able to achieve the true nature of one's mind and being able to do whatever one can, and to reach the seventh stage, can one decide not to retreat from the Mahayana practices.Zhaozhu says that if the body, speech and mind are done, wisdom is always ahead, so what is done is not lost.There are three things I have done: 1. Seek the Buddha's fruit from the top, 2. Practice all kinds of goodness in the middle, 3. Transform sentient beings from the bottom.The five sentences are said to praise the Bodhisattva’s purity of practice. Why do you say this? The answer is, “Seeking for the Buddha’s path without seeking, practicing all kinds of good things that are not cultivated, and saving sentient beings who are unsaved.Total nature is achieved through cultivation, and to complete cultivation is nature. If you do without doing, do without doing, then do without doing. Who is more pure in practice than that?Therefore, it is called purity of practice.
The Bodhisattva has long been pure and kind in the Buddha's path, and has never retreated from the Mahayana practices. All his actions are guided by wisdom.
The Buddha's dignity is dignified, and his heart is like the sea. All Buddhas sigh, and his disciples explain the respect of the Lord of the World of Fan.
Zhaozhu said that the actions will not lose the holy ritual.The commentary says that Bodhisattvas can transform into Buddhas, and their actions are the same as Buddhas, so they live in Buddhas. When the Buddha preaches, they often use the sea as a metaphor. Because the sea has three virtues: 1. Deep, broad and boundless, 2. Pure and unobstructed, 3. Store countless treasures.Bodhisattvas also possess these three virtues just like the sea.The corpse of a pure mind is not destroyed, and the treasure of wisdom is produced. It is subject to the rain of great Dharma and does not overflow. The evil and evil wind cannot be lost every day. The wisdom of the abyss is deep, so the mind is like the sea.As the sea, all Buddhas in all directions are full of praise, and humans and heavenly beings are respectful.This passage praises the Bodhisattva for being evil.
Bodhisattvas possess all kinds of dignity of Buddha, their hearts are like the sea of treasures and all virtues. The Buddhas in the ten directions can admire them, and they are respected by heaven and man.
3. Praise the skillful and convenient
If you want to save others, you should live in Via Li with good convenience.The wealth is immeasurable, and the poor are captured; the precepts are pure, and the destruction is restrained; the actions are forbearing and humiliating are restrained; the actions are restrained; the actions are restrained; the actions are restrained; the actions are restrained; all the slackness is restrained; all the silence is restrained; all the unwise are restrained.
In order to save ordinary people and saints with destiny, Bodhisattvas live in the Great Zhuangyan City with skillful means.Also use the Bodhisattva’s Six Paramitas to attract the audience and make them turn their minds toward the Tao.Most ordinary people in the world use their power to suppress others, making them dare to be angry but not speak out. This is just being subdued by the power, not being sincerely convinced from the bottom of their hearts. The elder Vimalakirti lives in the Great Zhuangyang City and uses the virtues of the six degrees to convince people. They all benefit from the benefits.
1. The elderly are rich and wealthy, so they donate money to the poor, so they can convince all the poor.
2. For those who break the prohibitions, please use the pure Brahmacharya of setting an example to convince them, so that they will feel ashamed and will not break the prohibitions again.
3. For those who are angry and scolded, they use gentle and humiliating means to "suppress hardness with softness".
4. For the lazy and negligent sentient beings, he encouraged their decadent negative and absurd lives with his courage and diligence.
5. If a person is a coma and ignorant, he will use his calm water to control his chaos.
6. For wise and vulgar men, use their wisdom to inspire them.
In order to save sentient beings, Bodhisattvas use skillful means to live in the Great Zhuangyang City.He is rich in wealth and uses it to give and receive many poor people; he follows the purity of the precepts and accepts all kinds of people who break the precepts; he uses the method of forbearance to accept people who are angry and scolded; he uses courage and diligence to urge people who are lazy in their minds; he concentrates on meditation and practices, and accepts all kinds of thoughts; he uses reality to determine wisdom and accepts all kinds of people who are unwise and shallow.
4. Praise the spotlessness of the house
Although he was dressed in white, he followed the pure law of monks; although he was staying at home, he did not attach to the three fruits; he showed that he had a wife who often practiced the Brahmacharya; his current relatives always enjoyed being away from him; although he wore treasures, he was kind to the body; even though he had eaten, he took the pleasure of Zen as his taste;
White clothes are the general term for lay Buddhists in the house; monks are mindful and minds, minds that have gained something, "reach the origin of purity", so the sutra says: "reach the origin of mind, so they are called monks."To achieve the origin is to see the nature, the original meaning of the original appearance, the true nature, and the local meaning.According to the commentary on Wuyi, because you must go deep into the people to capture sentient beings, you must not be inconvenient to show your worldly appearance.Although Elder Vimalakirti is now a white-clothed lay Buddhist, he is able to practice the strict laws of the monks who are born. It is truly said that he has become a monk at home.
The three realms are the desire realm, the form realm, and the formless realm.The reason why sentient beings reincarnate in life and death is that they are attached to the three realms.Therefore, becoming a monk really means that the family that is bound by the three realms can actually be used to be vulgar and not tied to the vulgarity. This is like a lotus flower that comes out of the mud without being stained.It is precisely because the mind and body are not attached to the three realms that the present wife and children are always practicing the pure Brahmacharya, which is an example of "being defilement and being purified in every way".
The family is the brothers and sisters, relatives and friends in the family.Ji Zang Yishu said, "There are things that are hidden outside, so there are relatives. If you are at home, you will always be happy to stay away from them.""The life of normal people must have brothers, sisters, relatives and friends. In order to follow the worldly feelings, the elders have relatives, their hearts are pure and inaction, and they are happy with Buddhism. Therefore, they "wandering outside the world" and often stay in the mind of renunciation.To concentrate on a career requires one's wholehearted dedication, staying away from the world, let alone learning Buddhism is to experience the supreme Dharma with your own life.
The elders have abundant wealth and natural clothing is beautiful, but what is more solemn is because of the solemn and elegant voice and manners that appear in the solemnity of the inner spirit.As Jizang said, "Outside dress and customs are good, and internally cultivate the appearance."This is also a manifestation of the same internally and externally as Bodhisattvas and their solemn merits.
There are four types of food
1. Salary food is like the common people's morning, lunch and dinner.
2. Touching food, like ordinary people feel satisfied with the touch of their parents, wives, and children.
3. Think about food, and get satisfaction and joy through thinking, analysis and judgment of things through thoughts, as Western philosophers call "rational pleasure".
4. Know food and nourish life by distinguishing the length and shortness of the five colors such as eyes.
The above four types are worldly food, which nourish and maintain people's lives from different levels, so they are called food.
At the same time, there are foods from the world, which are the ones that nourish our Dharma body and wisdom life. There are five types of foods, foods for Dharma, foods for Zen, foods for chanting, foods for willingness, and foods for liberation.On the one hand, although the elders use worldly food to nourish their physical body, on the other hand, they use Dharma joy and Zen to nourish their Dharma body and wisdom life.
Although he is a lay Buddhist, he can follow the pure precepts and practices of monks. Although he lives in a lay family, he is not bound by the three realms. Although he has wives and children, he can always practice the pure Brahmacharya. Although he shows his current family and relatives, he is often willing to stay away. Although he wears good clothes and jewelry, he uses his cultivation to solemn himself. Although he eats like ordinary people, he regards Zen as the supreme taste of Dharma.
5. Praise the mixed customs
If you come to a gambling place, you will save others; if you accept other ways, you will not destroy the righteous faith.
Zhaozhu says that Bodhisattvas "stop plays because of plays."Gambling is all kinds of gambling, and chess is all kinds of chess skills, which generally refers to spending money and time in places where people spend money and waste their studies.The elders also mingled in the process of teaching, but he did not indulge in the world of flowers and wine, but used various conveniences to educate sentient beings who were addicted to low-level interests.The poem by the monk Ba Fingertou Tuo Jichan says: "The monk is also romantic, but he comes to the red skirt under the flowers; who knows that he is drunk and lying on the white clouds from the green mountains."This is a portrayal of the elderly's mixed habits.
At the same time, I learned various heretic methods, "I want to make them the same as me," instead of following the differences.Taking the correct belief in Buddhism as the center of study and practice, we learn various disciplines, such as sociology, political science, economics, religion, philosophy... This does not make us give up our beliefs, but rather solemnly interpret Buddhism and invent it in order to facilitate the spread of the Dharma.The so-called "Yoga Bodhisattva Precepts" in the second and six hours: Bodhisattvas should study the internal scriptures in two or six hours, and learn the principles of foreign countries in one minute, and do not violate them, and they will have many merits.
If you go to a place where gambling or chess and play, you often use various conveniences to save people; you will learn various heretic theories, but you will not destroy your true faith.
Even though you understand the worldly scriptures, you will always enjoy the Buddhist teachings.All respect and respect are the best among offerings.Hold on to the Dharma and take care of all the elders and young people.All governance will bring harmony to the common people, even if you gain benefits from the common people, you will not be happy.Travel to all four roads to benefit all living beings.Enter the Dharma to cure everything.The lectures and lectures are introduced to the Mahayana.Entering the schools and luring the children to open up.Enter all the lustful and devotional mistakes.If you enter all the wine shops, you can set your ambitions.
Zhaopu said that although Bodhisattvas are omnipotent in various books in the world, their true interests lie in the Buddha's "true Dharma".Some Buddhists think that after studying Buddhism, the world's scriptures should not be studied. The basis is that there is "never take refuge in the scriptures of heretics" in the Three Refuges, which is a great misunderstanding.Refuge means that from then on, the Dharma body and wisdom life are delivered to Mahayana Buddhism and the great elders, and of course they cannot be delivered to the heretics' scriptures.But for those who study the Bodhisattva Dharma, if they do not understand the worldly Dharma and the theory of the worldly scriptures, they will not be able to become a guide with power, cleverness, wisdom and eloquence. The so-called enlightenment of sentient beings will also become empty wishes.Elder Vimalakirti not only enjoys Buddhism, but also understands the worldly scriptures. (Five wisdom method ),Therefore, he has various conveniences to save life, and can achieve the purpose of saving life.
Zhaozun said, "Everyone with teeth is respectful, and everything is pure and nourished is offered", so it is said that it is the best among offerings.In the Lotus Sutra, Bodhisattvas always pay tribute to the four groups of people and observe sentient beings with the eyes of Buddha. This is the true offering, that is, the purity of all views.Elder Vimalakirti was among the elders, lay Buddhists, and all people at that time. Everyone was respectful when they saw him, and at the same time, he also loved and respected everything, so it was the most extraordinary among all offerings.
According to ancient Indian customs, three young and noble people were elected in every village to enforce the law in the village to mediate right and wrong, which is equivalent to a moral court.Since Vimalakirti is an elder, he "now adheres to the common Dharma, because of the channel Dharma", so it is reasonable to uphold the right reason and educate sentient beings.
Zhisheng is an industrialist who governs secular property.Harmony is harmony, and a spouse is profit, as if you get a spouse.That is to say, even if you get some small profits from the world, you will not make you confused and be ecstatic, because the Bodhisattva has immersed his mind and body in merits and wealth.As the explanatory commentary says, "Bodhisattvas rejoices in the benefits of the worldly Dharma."
The important road that is well-connected is called Qu, namely Cross Street and so on.Jizang Yishu said that Vimalakirti "surveillances all over the important roads and follow them," which means that the elders sometimes go to the streets or trade places to preach according to the situation, and make Buddhist customs and benefit the common people.
Governance is the person who corrects the law.Zhaozhu said that the people should be guided by the law so that the people can be free from paranoid or mistakes in dealing with the world.The compromise is believed that Vimalakirti was the elder who "governed the country after he went to power, and then he promoted Xiao Jigang and clarified the law, so that he would not violate it."In fact, the word "正" in the law of governance can be explained as a political character, which is a politician who participates in political activities.The elders love all people with the selfless spirit of "selflessness" and the virtue of integrity and wiseness.
The lectures and discussions were the preaching houses in ancient India at that time, just like the academic lectures today.Elder Vimalakirti often went to various academic groups to give speeches, displaying the genius of his orator, first inventing the Dharma and worldly Dharma, and guiding them to convert to Mahayana Buddhism.It is said that there are many heretics in ancient seals, and each of them describes the greatness of their own Taoism. Therefore, the country must set up a special lecture hall. If you want to debate thoughts and preach Taoism, you will beat the drum and gather the crowd and start the debate. The winner is the teacher, and the loser is the student.Elder Vimalakirti often preached Mahayana Buddhism on such occasions.
He would also go to various schools of all kinds to use stories, fairy tales and other methods to induce enlightenment children to purify and be kind, because he knew that children were the masters of the future world, so he used the talent of an educator to plant the seeds of Buddhism in his young heart.
The note says that when Shakyamuni Buddha was a Bodhisattva in the causal realm, he entered the school to teach the Book of Brahma. When Brahma came down to testify for him, everyone could believe and accept it, which was similar to this.
People who are prostitutes are extremely pitiful, either forced by life or suffer from hardships in life, etc., are serious social problems.According to the Buddhist system, those who study Buddhism in these places should be contraindicated, but Bodhisattvas take enlightenment of sentient beings as their responsibility. They cannot ignore the desolate sentient beings in order to keep themselves clean, so they "go into all lustful and show their mistakes."Luo Shi said that there was a woman with a golden body and an elder son named Damudora. She used a thousand taels of gold to invite her into the bamboo forest and carried her away.Manjushri transformed into white clothes and wore precious clothes. The clothes were solemn and beautiful. When this woman saw greed, Manjushri said, if you want to get clothes, you should develop the Bodhicitta.The woman said, what is Bodhicitta? The answer was, your body was.Why? The answer is that Bodhi nature is empty, and your body is also empty, because of this reason.This woman once planted rare books in the Kashyapa Buddha's place and cultivated wisdom. After hearing what Manjushri said, she attained the Dharma of No Birth.At the same time, she and her elders entered the bamboo forest with her elders. After entering the bamboo forest, she appeared and died, and was rotten and stinky.When the elder's son saw this, he was very scared and went to the Buddha's place. The Buddha also gained the Dharma patience.What notes say is that the mistakes of showing desires will have such benefits.It also commends the Bodhisattva's cultivation of "being contaminated and always being purified" and "sitting in mind without being confused" and "sitting in mind without being confused" is profound.
A wine shop, which refers to the place where food, accommodation and wine gathering are generally referred to as food, accommodation and wine.Zhaozhu said, "Wine causes loss of ambition and opens the door of elegance", so the Buddha made a list of the auxiliary precepts as one of the five precepts.There are countless heroes in ancient and modern times who have lost their career prospects through wine and sex, and even ordinary people have achieved nothing because of their destiny.Even though the elders entered the wine shop, they were not disturbed by the wine. They set their great ambitions and made the drunkards cut off their bad habits and put them on the right track.
Although Bodhisattvas are well-versed in the world's books and knowledge, they are always happy in Buddhism.Treating all people with kindness is the best way to offer; implement and uphold the Dharma, and use the Dharma to absorb elders and children; all health care careers are harmonious and without disputes, and even if you obtain the benefits of the world, you do not take this as joy.Traveling at the intersection is to benefit all living beings as they please.Participate in various political management to save all sentient beings.Participate in various debates and enlighten people to use Mahayana Buddhism.He also entered the school and church to induce and enlighten children to enlighten the Dharma.Entering a brothel shows the disadvantage of indulgence.Enter the restaurant and build the will of the drunkards.
6. Praise and honor the benefits of living
The summary of the meaning of the compromise is to say: Benefiting the people must be in a noble position. Generally speaking, ordinary people are "easy to be captured by their might, but difficult to follow."The ancients said, "The virtue of a gentleman is a gentleman, and the virtue of a villain is a grass, and the wind on the grass will sag."Those who educate the people and preach the superior laws are the elders in the world who are highly respected by the noble families and regard themselves as worldly teachings, and do not spread the laws of the world.Now we will promote the superior laws of the world, so that there will be great elders who will be born.
If the elders are honored, they will preach the superior Dharma; if the layman is honored, they will be greedy; if there is Kharma, the Kharma is honored, they will be taught to endure humiliation; if there is Brahmin, the Brahmin, they will be given arrogance; if there is minister, the minister is respected, they will be taught to be loyal and filial.
The elder, the note says it is "the rich family of four surnames today."At that time, there were four castes in ancient India. (Family );1. Brahmin, this is called pure practice, a little precepts, and a person who regards himself as a Tao; 2. The land is good, this is called official clan, and he is happy in his position, and he becomes a commoner; 3. Vaisha, this is called sitting and harvesting, the merchant class; 4. Shoudra, this is called farming and reclamation, the agricultural and pastoral class.The four classes are of strict hierarchy, with Brahmins and Kshatriya the most noble.The power of the world is to maintain one's own territory and status, and to be pampered in social activities, it is easy to act rashly and has a certain representation. Therefore, Bodhisattvas are respected by prominent families and wealthy families for their great wealth, and nurture them with supreme Dharma breasts, so that they can cultivate themselves with Buddhism and support the Dharma with their power.
A lay Buddhist means believers at home.What's the point, foreign (Ancient seal )White clothes (Layman )People who are rich and happy are called lay Buddhists."Theory of Wisdom" says: There are two types of lay people: 1. People who live in residences, so they are called lay people.2. He has a wealth of 100 million yuan and is called a lay Buddhist.Since there are many treasures, greed must be deep. Therefore, the great masters first accumulate treasures with them, and then make great contributions or show the disaster of gathering wealth to "cut off the turbidity."
There are two meanings of Kshari: 1. Tolerant humiliation, 2. Anger. This race is prone to arrogance and anger because of its status and power, and is "strong and hard to suppress" and "more and more violent and determined".Therefore, Bodhisattvas persuaded them with the benefits and functions of the method of forbearance and humiliation to make them gentle and smooth.
Brahmin, free translation, unexpected meaning.It is said that at the beginning of the calamity, I saw greed, anger and fighting in the world, and became disgusted, and went into the mountain to seek the Tao, taking "the study of mind and Taoism as my career, either at home or asceticism, and often insisted that I had the art of Taoism and had high self-belief.Therefore, Bodhisattvas also use various convenient ways to remove their arrogance by using the qualifications of "the most respectful people", so they say "excluding others' arrogance".
The minister assists the state affairs, masters or consents to the national government affairs, which is related to the future and happiness of the country and people. The Bodhisattva is well aware of the interests. Therefore, with the prestige of "respecting among the people", he teaches the ministers to "correct the Dharma" France with the "righteous Dharma".Specifically, the Dharma is to use the Five Precepts and Ten Virtues to help the ministers understand the principles of good and evil cause and effect, and not be corrupt officials or fish and people.
The son, the son of the king, has always been pampered and lived a favorable life. They are the so-called "naturally promising sons". Because of their superior environment, they are arrogant and arrogant. They rarely do it when serving their fathers and serving their kings. Therefore, Bodhisattvas appear in it and teach them the principles of being loyal to the country and being filial to their parents.
The Bodhisattva is respected by the elders among the elders, and he teaches the supreme transcendental Dharma for the elders; if he is caring and loving among the lay Buddhists, he shows the method to eliminate greed for the lay Buddhists; if he gains the trust of the Kharians among the people of the Kharian caste, he advises them to subdue their hearts with forbearance; if he wins the faith of these practitioners among the Brahmins, he enlightens them to eliminate the roots of self-reliance; if he receives the respect of the ministers among the ministers, he teaches them to rule the country with the right law and to eliminate evil.If he is pleased by the princes, he will show his loyalty and filial words and deeds to harmonize them.
If you are in the inner official, you will become a maid in the palace; if you are in the common people, you will be honored to bring blessings; if you are in the Brahma, you will be honored to gain wisdom; if you are in the Indra, you will be honored to show impermanence; if you are in the world, you will be respected to protect the world, and you will be respected to protect all sentient beings;
Inner officials, an ancient Indian law stipulates that those who are older, virtuous and loyal, who have been dynasties are invited to be internal officials and become official maids.Zhaozhu said, "The evil and evil deeds are used to be a woman's love, so she teaches her integrity."This is done so as not to prevent the palace maids from being unrestrained and disturbing the ruling ministers, causing desolation of national affairs and harming the people.
People, that is, ordinary people, are mostly in the lower class of society, and have a job of food and clothing, and have little blessings, so they are called common people.In order to prevent the suffering of hunger and cold, Bodhisattvas "make blessings and strengths."The will of "use" means that they will strive to win and gain blessings.Luo Shi said: In the past, a poor man came to the city and saw a man wearing a clean dress, riding on a horse, holding a treasure bridle.The bitch said something bad, and even repeatedly, the person was surprised and asked, "I am so calm and pure, why are you bad?" The bitch said, "You have been cultivated in virtue and received this reward. The power and virtue are subdued and admired by others.I did not grow blessings in the past, and I was so mean. Compared with you, I was like a beast, so I said that I was not good, and it was not a shame to you!" The bitch was a response and cultivated blessings and karma. "The body respects and enlightens things, and it is beneficial to spread it, let alone transforming people with Taoism and law."
Heaven is the Great Brahma King of the First Meditation. They are addicted to worldly meditation and small wisdom, and are unwilling to surpass themselves, "not seeking the worldly superior wisdom", so the Bodhisattva "teaches Buddha's wisdom, so he says it is superior."
The thirty-three heavens God, Shi Tihuanin, was calm in the five desires in the heaven, confused and did not know how to return, and was happy and did not think about Shu. The Bodhisattva showed the impermanent change and destruction of the "five declines" and made him return to his mind to concentrate.
In the world, namely the four great heavenly kings in the east, south, west and north, they were ordered by Imperial God to protect the sentient beings in the world. Bodhisattvas appeared in it and ordered them to fulfill their duties and always protect sentient beings.
If a Bodhisattva is respected by the inner palace in the inner palace, he will teach the palace maids to be upright and simple; if he is respected by the poor among the common people, he will teach them to plant a field of blessings and increase their blessings; if he is respected by the Brahma in the middle of Brahma, he will persuade them to learn and practice the great wisdom of the world; if he is respected by the Indras, he will show impermanence to get rid of his greed; if he is respected among the Four Heavenly Kings, he will instruct them to protect all living beings in the world.
The elder Vimalakirti benefited sentient beings with such infinite conveniences.
The knot is slightly wider, which shows that the Bodhisattva’s expedient methods are immeasurable, and the sentient beings who benefit are also immeasurable.This is how the elder Vimalakirti uses infinite methods to benefit countless sentient beings.
7. Present disease
Bodhisattvas are not sick at first, but because sentient beings are sick, they can easily show their existing diseases. If they gather to see the disease, they can take the opportunity to preach.In ancient Chinese, "disease" means serious illness, and "disease" means mild illness.If you are "disease", your mind and body will be exhausted, your qi and blood will not be filled, and you will not be able to give me the speech.Therefore, if you say that there is a disease, it is a mild disease. Because of your high moral character and reputation, you will be well-known, so you will be able to preach the cause and condition.
Vimalakirti's illness was reported, according to Shuzang's explanation, the ten causes of
1. Those who come to ask about illness are transformed by the law;
2. I hope the Buddha will ask me about the illness;
3. It turns out that all the body has been sick since the beginning of time;
4. Understand compassion as a result of illness;
5. For the reasons for the illness of ordinary people and saints;
6. Let those with illness regulate their hearts;
7. Let the rest of the people know that they are not of different natures;
8. Only by being wonderful, detailed and noble, can one respond to the reason;
9. Because it is beneficial to the opposition;
10. Because of the great power and virtue of the Tathagata body.
、Sequence the disease
It is convenient for people to show up and have illnesses.
It is said that "the best way to attract people by giving precepts." "If you use precepts to attract people, you will be grateful for their benefits."I heard that Vimalakirti has a disease, and there must be many people asking about illness. Many people ask about illness, "then the merits will be greatly improved", so it is said that it will be convenient and then "treat the disease".People in the world become sick because they are not aware of the rash movements. Vimalakirti shows illness because of great compassion and convenience.If sentient beings are not sick, the Tathagata has no effect on teaching, and the sentient beings have no result of their own actions.If you are afraid of Bodhisattvas, there are teachings that respond to the situation in the Dharma Realm, and Bodhisattvas will do things that benefit others.
Therefore, as Ji Zang Yishu said: "If you don't get sick, it will be difficult to believe it. If you don't get sick, you will be easily affected."Therefore, Vimalakirti is a convenient disease.
、Procedure of the problem
Because of his illness, kings, ministers, elders, lay people, Brahmins, etc., as well as other officials, thousands of people went to ask about the illness.
From this passage of the preface to the question of the disease, we can see the rigorous structure of the scriptures and the elite of the preacher's thoughts.The previous article said, "If you are in... Zhongzun," now "Zhongzun" is sick, and it is reasonable for everyone to come to visit. As Jizang Yishu said: "Pure name is for virtue to be the world. People appreciate their kindness. Since they hear about illness, they all come to ask about it."This is like a multi-act drama, from the sound of gongs and drums to the gathering of people, finally kicking off the prelude to "Just Preaching".
、Just as the saying
In the past, Vimalakirti widely preached the problem of his body disease: "All benevolent people! This is the method of impermanence, no strength, no strength, no strength, and quick decay, which is not trustworthy; it is caused by suffering and trouble, and is accumulated by many diseases.All benevolent! Such a body is something that wise people do not support them.”
When Vimalakirti saw everyone coming to ask about disease, he showed the saying "drug".Because ordinary people hold to existence and hold to the four elements and five aggregates as self and self, they "talk about the disadvantages of the body, which makes them disgusted with life and death", break the confusion of ordinary people, break the common, and directly understand that life and death are impermanent, suffering, emptiness, selflessness, and impurity.Ordinary people have no wisdom and believe that this body is always strong, power and hard, and they will be strong without realizing it. They will feel relieved in an instant, thinking that there is a self that can dominate, but in essence, old age, illness, death, etc. can be controlled and destroyed. Therefore, "no strength, power, and hardness" is the "method of quick decay".The slander says that it is like fire turning into ashes and disappearing every thought, so it is regarded as the view of impermanence."For suffering and trouble, and are gathered by many diseases" is the view of suffering.A wise person should have a view of impermanence and suffering and emptiness in his body without relying on it.At the same time, "I have great troubles, I have a body." Since I have a body, all kinds of troubles and pains have followed.Taixu Taishi said according to the Mingming: The body is impermanent (Clan );The reason is coming soon (because );All those who have been established soon are impermanent, such as bubbles. (Metaphor )。
Vimalakirti, who came to visit, widely said on the grounds of his own illness: "Dear benevolent people! This body is impermanent, not strong, and has no self-reliance.There is no unchanging master, it is a statement that is quickly destroyed. You cannot trust it to think it is true; it is all kinds of distress and diseases gather.Dear benevolent people! With such a body, wise people will not rely on it.”
This body is like a gathering of foam, and cannot be rubbed; this body is like a bubble, and cannot stand for a long time; this body is like a flame, born from thirst, and is like a banana, without any firmness; this body is like an illusion, and arises from upside down; this body is like a dream, which is false view; this body is like a shadow, and arises from karma; this body is like a sound, which belongs to all reasons; this body is like a floating cloud, and must be transformed and destroyed in a moment; this body is like lightning, and cannot be stopped every thought.
The above is based on the arguments of suffering and impermanence, and teaches people to practice the view of impermanence and suffering in order to break the self-attachment and greed.Now, from the perspective of emptiness, there are ten metaphors, which show that "I, body" is not real from different angles and aspects.
Therefore, the first metaphor says that the body is "like gathering foam". Gathering foam is a white bubble caused by the friction and impact of water. It floats and rotates on the water surface, which seems very large. If you pick it up or caress it with your hands, it is floating and has no substance.Therefore, Zhao's note said: "There is no reality of the friction and foam to measure the hypocrisy of the body."The Huayan Sutra also says: "The color is like a gathering of foam, the feeling is like a bubble, the thinking is like a wild horse, the movement is like a banana tree, and the consciousness is like an illusion."Therefore, the saint observes the body with emptiness, "the body also seems to exist, but it will be destroyed when it comes."
The second metaphor uses water bubbles as a metaphor to illustrate that the body is disillusioned and cannot last long.If the raindrops drip into the pool on heavy rain, it will be destroyed in a while, and it will be difficult to last for a long time.Our own career is the cause, and our parents' essence and blood are the fate. The physical body is only a hundred years long, and it cannot last long in the catastrophe like water bubbles and smear.
The third metaphor, flame is the sun fire. In the desert or Gobi Desert, the sky is clear, the sun is just around the corner, the desert is boundless, and the bitterness is unbearable, suddenly there is a shallow spring water flowing in front of you, trembling with waves, but when you approach it, it either retreats or disappears.Therefore, Jizang Yishu said, "If you see yang and flames, you will be confused and think it is water; if you love to see the four elements, you will be confused and think it is the body."
It is said that Lu Zi is thirsty and wants to drink water. When she sees Yangyan, she becomes thirsty and thinks it is water. She is reluctant to leave and will never be able to get it.Our four elements gather and the body with the fiery five aggregates is originally unreal, but sentient beings are greedy and reluctant to give up and think it is the true appearance, just like the deer chasing Yangyan and thinking that the spring flows.
The fourth metaphor, Zhaozun says, "The grass in banana leaves has only leaves but no stems."At first glance, the banana leaves look thick and lush, but in fact it is a herb. The body is covered with leaf stems, which looks like a solid rod. The so-called "the banana leaves will only know that they are empty after peeling them." As Ji Zang Yishu said, "The grass of banana leaves has skin and leaves, but there is no real thing. The body is like it, but the name is also not real."Our physical body is also like banana leaves, consisting of thirty-six objects such as hair, claws, and teeth. Apart from this combination of causes and conditions, there is no entity inside.
The fifth metaphor says that this body is illusion, just like the illusionist played by the illusionist, ignorance is the illusionist.People often attach to the illusion of "I" as human beings, and the body of the four elements is the body. They do not know that this is as unreal as a person playing tricks, all the illusions arising from the illusion.
The sixth metaphor says that this body is like "the false view in a dream, but the awareness is not true after it is awakened". It is an illusion that comes from the dreamer's mind, but there is nothing that is seen in a dream.Our body is also like this from the inverted mind. When we see that this body is in ignorant mind, there is no body that can be dominated by it. Before ordinary people have obtained the undiscriminatory wisdom of the Bodhisattva, they are like in dreams. They cannot realize the emptiness of the Dharma nature and falsely hold that the external environment is actually there. The physical body is "I", and they only arise from all kinds of troubles.
The seventh metaphor, the note says, "The body obstructs the sunlight, and the light cannot shine, and the shadow appears from this. It is separated from the three karmas of ignorance and wisdom, so there is a body."Our body is like a shadow, "the shadow of the past karma, so there is the present body", which is formed by karma. Due to the cause of good karma, the shadow of good reward should arise, and due to the cause of bad karma, the shadow of bad reward should arise.
The eighth metaphor means that our body is like an echo of an empty valley, and is composed of various mountains, rocks, spaces, and trees far and near. As the "echo", that is, "resonance", it has no self-nature.The current body is "the past false karma causes and conditions, but now it is based on the body of parents, food and clothing, etc., and it is all about all matters, so it is said that it belongs to the causes and conditions."
The ninth metaphor says that floating clouds have no roots in the sky and are always floating.The human body and the clouds floating in the air cannot dominate themselves in the instant of disillusionment in the wind. Life does not know where to come from, and death does not know where to go. Even the false body that exists now is also in endless continuous changes. The mind cannot be the master of the body, and the body does not obey the order of the mind. The separation of the mind and the body will cause troubles and injuries.Therefore, the notes say that our bodies, "suddenly, they will change and disappear in a moment, and the body will be the same. In a few breaths, there are a few elders who have changed from illness to death...", ordinary people cannot see this essence through phenomena, or see this essence and seek temporary pleasure of senses, and lose their true nature and rationality. They hold that this body is the real and permanence, but ignore suffering, emptiness, and impermanence, and listen without hearing.
The tenth metaphor says that our false body is like lightning before a thunderstorm, and it is like lightning in the vast and vast void, leaving no trace.From a physiological perspective, it is metabolizing every moment, and even cells are in birth, old age and death.Where can I grasp the constant self body? From the perspective of psychological phenomena, people's thoughts arise, stay, change and disappear like the flow of consciousness. They think first, second, and then, and they cannot stop, and they will change and disappear in an instant. How can there be constant and unchanging thoughts? Therefore, it is a metaphor for saying, "The body is like lightning, and cannot stop every thought."A summary of the above ten metaphors, the impermanence and no strength of a passage is a metaphor for the view of suffering, such as the gathering of mour, which is a clear metaphor for the view of emptiness.This multilateral metaphor method can easily vividly express the mysterious meanings such as suffering, emptiness, and impermanence, thereby achieving the purpose of saying.
Our body is like a gathered bubble, and it has no substance to touch it; this body is like a bubble, and cannot stand for a long time; this body is like a sunlight in the desert, which is born from craving; this body is like a banana tree, with no solid things in the center; this body is a dream, which arises from the beginningless ignorance and troubles; this body is like a dream, which arises from false thoughts; this body is like a shadow, which is the projection of various karma conditions; this body is like an echo of the empty valley, which is the result of various causes and conditions; this body is like a floating cloud, which changes and disappears in an instant; this body is like lightning, and cannot stop for a moment.
This body has no master, it is like the earth; this body has no self, it is like fire; this body has no life, it is like wind; this body has no one, it is like water;
The note says that there is no permanent master of the territory of the earth, and the powerful possesses it.Our bodies are like the earth, "change according to things, if sick things are annoyed, if dead things are destroyed, if gathering and dispersing, if you are dispersed, you will be free."Therefore, all kinds of things are formed by the four elements. Outside, there are earth, wood, mountains and rivers, inside, there are limbs and all bodies, with different rough essences and essences, and the essence is the same, "disperse and die, gather and live," life is the inside, death is the outside, although the inside and outside are different,
It is composed of four major ones and is the same.Therefore, the four elements of the inner and outer world are used to clarify the principle of "the body has no master".Having a master means having the ability to dominate, but this body is just like the "strong ones first stay" on the earth. It is formed by all causes. If the fate is combined, the fate will arise. If the fate is dispersed, the fate will be separated. How can there be a true master?When people die, their hair, minions, bones, and tendons return to the earth, blood, tears and fluid return to the water, warmth and heat return to the fire, breath and wind return to the wind.Even if the body of continuous and false combination is often full of diseases, the four major imbalances are unbalanced, and if you are the master, you have never seen anyone happy to suffer from illness.
《The Shurangama Sutra says: "Fire has no self, and it is dependent on all causes."Fire is a phenomenon of the combination of fire, fuel, space, and oxygen. If these causes and conditions are dispersed or not combined, fire cannot arise. Therefore, fire is selfless. When our physical body gathers, warm and dryness are like fire, and its essence is like fire, which is the product of cause and condition.Zhao's note explains that freedom is called me, but fire rises and extinguishes fire, and fire is not free.The reason why fire is uneasy is that fire does not have the ability to dominate itself, "the external fire has no self, and the internal fire is the same."The true meaning of longevity is the eternal and eternal life.From a microscopic perspective, the oral and nose pores of the physical body are metabolized once in each breath. The sutra forty-two chapters say that life is in the breath, which summarizes the body as the wind.From a macro perspective, facing a vast catastrophe and indifferent space, the physical body of a person who has been in succession for a lifetime is drifting by like the wind, and then he sees the yellow-haired and white-headed death again, which is in response to the Shurangama Sutra: "The wind is in no place, and the movement and stillness are not constant." As for "long spring and never grow old" and "the heaven and earth are one with me, and all things are spring with me" are just kind of kindness and the objectification and external eternal self that is sought in the absence of longevity.
From the perspective of Buddhism, all life is in the laws of birth, old age, illness and death, like the wind without dwelling.
《The Shurangama Sutra says: "The nature of water is unstable, and the flow is not constant", so it can "bend straight and vertical, and be in a square and round manner," and the root cause is because it has no fixed form and the master of "I".Our bodies are also like this: "knowledge and insight progress, change according to things, make false causes, multiply and act, and do not look at the cause, but do not have people."
Like water, people are unstable in nature and social activities and cannot dominate themselves. Therefore, the scriptures say, "There is no one in the body, and it is like water."
Although the four sentences of "no master, no self, no life, and no man" are different, their core meanings are nothing more than that of the four external elements, which cannot control oneself. Therefore, Jizang's commentary commentary says: "The body is one and different, and it means that there is a true master, and it is called the master; it is governed freely, and it is called me; it is always preserved and unchanged, and it is called longevity; it is precious to all things, and it is never changed, and it is called human."
Our physical body cannot dominate ourselves, just like the earth, there is no fixed master; my physical body does not have a "I, which can be attached to, just like fire is born from various conditions; this physical body cannot live long and fleeting like the wind; this physical body has no "person" to be attached to, just like the water of nature changes with the changes of the outside world.
It is the body that is not solid, the four elements are home; it is the body that is empty, free from me and myself; it is the body that is ignorant, like grass, trees and rubble; it is the body that is inactive and is turned by wind;
Earth, water, fire and wind combine to form our physical body. This so-called seemingly organic combination is actually a false combination of four kinds of fine material causes and conditions. Once the causes and conditions are separated, their false and unreal nature will be revealed.In a sense, in the vast world, the physical body is also a way of existence of the four elements. Conversely, this physical body is just a way of self-contained by the four elements.Further, the four elements themselves are empty in nature, and they are also false in causes and conditions. Like water, they are composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, and the atoms can continue to decompose, and the particles of their substances are ultimately unavailable, let alone objects, how can they not be empty in nature?
Since the physical body is composed of the four false combinations of emptiness and self-nature, the "I" is empty, and there is no real "I". This visualization is the view of no self, that is, the self-emptiness.I am empty, and the object I attach to is also illusory and unreal, so what I am empty is called the Dharma empty.But the obsessed ordinary love thinks: I am the true priest of everything, I am real, and even the country outside my body, my wife, children, and children are real.
All kinds of obsessions add endless troubles and pain to survival, and you cannot be liberated in this internal and external bondage.In order to analyze the self and what I am empty in Jizang Yishu in detail, I summarize the self and what I am into three types.
1. Taking self-support as "I", the wife of the wealthy outside world is called "I Institution".
2. Divide the general appearance and the different appearance in the body. The general function is for me, and the five aggregates are for me;
3. The five yin are distinguished, and the color is "I", and the rest is "I".
“If there is no self, then people will be empty, and there is no self, which means that the Dharma will be empty." As for actions, it is nothing more than the gravitational force of the karma wind.
The four elements are unconscious. The physical body is composed of the four elements, so it is also ignorant, like grass, wood, rubble.As for the recognition of the thief as the father, he regards false thoughts as the mind and takes false consciousness as the true consciousness, this is the illusion of ordinary people. Zhaozu said, "Although the body can touch it, it is ignorant, and the inner consciousness can know it without touching it, and seek it by one's own nature, both are ignorant." Since it is ignorant, what is different from rubble?Although there is also "creating and exerting actions, the wind power is not used by me." Wind power, that is, the karma wind is invigorating, so there is the action of raising hands and feet, and it is not the action of the physical body."The Eight Consciousness Rules" says: "The deep and deep abyss and seven waves are the wind", which shows this principle.
This physical body is unreal, it is nothing more than a lie in the four elements that think that "home" is self-reliant; this physical body is empty, and there is no real me and I can get it; this physical body is also unconscious, like grass, trees, rubble; this physical body has no effect, and the so-called actions are nothing more than the traction of karma;
The body is impure and full of filth and evil, and the body is hypocritical. Even if you use bath, bath, clothing, food and clothing, it will be erased. This body is a disaster, and there are all kinds of illnesses. This body is like a hill and well, forced by old age; this body is unstable, so you should die; this body is like a poisonous snake, like a resentful thief, like an empty gathering, and all the incomings in the yin realm are combined.
It is said that the physical body is impure and full of all kinds of filth and evil. There are thirty-six kinds of impurities, which makes everyone hate the physical body after they hear about the suffering, emptiness and impermanence, and they have a desire to renunciate.Because most ordinary people are greedy for the physical body, they talk about the impure Dharma, breaking the four kinds of reluctances of ordinary people, talking about the four kinds of contemplations, and practicing the four kinds of contemplations, "you can not be attached to the body, and you cannot be attached to yourself, and then you can learn the Dharma body," so they first talk about the Dharma of disgust, and then praise the Dharma body.
There are five types of impurity in the body: 1. Impure seeds.It is synthesized from three reasons: karma consciousness, father's essence and mother's blood; 2. The residence is unclean.Stay in the mother's womb, hide it under the rawness, hide it on the cookedness, and soak it in the flesh and blood.3. Self-impurity.Thirty-six kinds of blood, blood, flesh and blood are synthesized by hair, minions and teeth; 4. The self-immortality is impure.The nine holes of the eyes, ears, nose, mouth and urine are often flowing; 5. It is ultimately impure.From living to living, damaging and dying, it is completely impure.Therefore, Buddhists often call the physical body a stinky skin capsule.Always practicing impurity can break the greed for physical body, face and clothing, and thus gain coolness and freedom regardless of the appearance of men, men, women, and young, and achieve supreme deeds. Therefore, practicing impurity in the Tiantai Sect’s method of meditation and contemplation, and making white bones awareness to eliminate their greed and desire is very effective.
Although this body is covered with all kinds of clothes and is covered with balm on the face, it cannot hide the smell of sweat, smelly holes and dander flying around, and all your efforts will be wiped out.Therefore, Master Taixu said: Even if you bathe again, you will be fond of delicious food, and you will always be arrogant when you are sick and old. Who has never witnessed anyone?...So this body is actually "a wilderness where poisonous snakes and beasts are gathered by enemies, thieves and evil ghosts. It is very scary, very distressing, and very disgusting."Practicing the four mindfulnesses of suffering, emptiness, impermanence, self and impurity can break the greed of ordinary people.
Jiezhan made a concise and mysterious discussion on this passage of scripture;...If the person who is forced by the old man in the morning is weak and has a good man in the morning, the defects will be uneven. As the old man in the morning, the six senses will be defective.However, the sect of this sutra is a bit too small, and it is a pity that praises the great and the perfect. Now, why do you talk about the Hinayana such as impermanence, suffering and emptiness? There are two meanings: one is different for the situation, and the other is the saints of the two vehicles, and the other is the king and prince. The two are different for the idea, and they usually talk about the small, and they plan to achieve Nirvana and live in the small path.Although it is small now, I am so alert to admire the Buddha's body and introduce it to the Mahayana.
This physical body is impure and full of all kinds of filth and evil; this physical body is false and unreal. Although it is often washed with water and dressed with beauty, it is to be eliminated after all. This physical body is a breeding ground for various disasters, and has caused hundreds of thousands of diseases and troubles; this physical body is like a dry well on a hill, forced by exhaustion; this physical body has no fixed nature and dies when it is said to die; this physical body is like a poisonous snake, a resentful thief, and an empty gathering, and is composed of illusionary methods such as the five aggregates, eighteen realms, and twelve entry.
All benevolent people: This is a disgusting thing and should enjoy the Buddha's body. What is the reason? The Buddha's body is the Dharma body.The birth of infinite merits, the birth of concentration and wisdom, liberation, and knowledge of liberation; the birth of compassion and joy, the birth of charity, precepts, forbearance, gentleness, diligence and diligence, meditation, samadhi of liberation, knowledge and paramita; the birth of convenience; the birth of six powers; the birth of three wisdoms; the birth of thirty-seven paths; the birth of cessation; the birth of ten powers, the four fearless things, the eighteen uncommon dharmas; the birth of all ungods, and the birth of all good dharmas; the birth of reality; the birth of never neglect; the birth of such infinite pure dharmas, and the birth of Tathagata; all benevolent people: those who want to obtain the body of Buddha and eliminate all diseases of all sentient beings should develop the Anuttara Samyaksambodhi mind!
In the passage of "The Disasters of Physical Body", it is discussed from all aspects and angles. Therefore, the full title of great virtues is that all benevolent people, this physical body should be disgusted with it and compare it with the correct "being happy with the Buddha's body".
Jizang Yishu said that there are three kinds of disgust: 1. Although the lower root has a thought of disgust towards the physical body, he still refuses to give up because he is greedy for pleasure; 2. The middle root has a thought of disgust, and wants to prove pure Nirvana. 3. The upper root has a thought of disgust, and can transform things.Now, I am afraid that when people in the middle and lower levels hear the suffering, emptiness, impermanence and non-self, they will develop disgust and resign to obtain and attain Nirvana as joy. Therefore, they "return to it to be right" and "please enjoy the Buddha's body". The Buddha's body is the four virtues of "permanence, happiness, self, and purity", which are born from various infinite merits and wisdom.The elders asked and answered themselves, because after hearing that "you should enjoy the Buddha's body", ordinary people started from the method of understanding birth and death, and thought that the incarnation Buddha with birth and death, so they explained that "that is the Dharma body."Sheng Gong wrote a verse that clearly states "The Buddha's body is the Dharma body": "The six-meter-to-six feet are the trace body, and the permanent residence is the Dharma body.The traces come from the Dharma body, so it is called the Dharma body."The Dharma body "takes the Dharma as the body". The Dharma body "the body is completely different from all things, and the body is equipped with all virtues, that is, it cannot be used as existence, and the body is equipped with all virtues, and it cannot be used as nothingness. If it is away from the two extremes, then it is the Dharma body."
Precepts, concentration, wisdom, liberation, and liberation knowledge and views are collectively called the five-part Dharma body.Precepts, concentration and wisdom are the causes of cultivation, and the last two are the results achieved.Liberation is the freedom of gaining from precepts to concentration and wisdom, and the sword of wisdom is used to cut off the entanglement of various afflictions.Precepts, concentration and wisdom are also called the three non-leakage learning.To govern the core of Buddhism, the knowledge and insights of liberation can be achieved through the study and practice of the three non-leaks, and to explain the process and method of liberation to benefit people is the knowledge and insights of liberation.These five parts of the Dharma body are also part of the Buddha's pure Dharma body, so it is said to be "...birth".
The four immeasurable things of compassion, joy and giving, as well as the four meditations, the four emptiness and concentration, the eight liberation and the three samadhi are all two kinds of merits and wisdom for the birth of the Dharma body. Therefore, the Bodhisattva shows them to everyone one by one, and only requires all benevolent people to "action without form" based on "action without form without form without action," so the Dharma body formed is also without form without action."
Zhaozhu said that Bodhisattvas with more than seven abundances have six powers, and said that there are no six powers, "to use their unparalleled transformation, they cannot form the body of the infinite."The "body of the Wuji" mentioned here is the perfect Dharma body.
The six directions are

6. The complete loss of leakage.You can know that all kinds of troubles between yourself and others have not been exhausted.
The first five powers of ordinary people have different numbers of gains, but only Buddhas can obtain the six powers.The manifestation of supernatural powers and changes has great effect on facilitating sentient beings, because ordinary people regard seeing as real and hearing as virtual.It is easier to believe in things, it is hard to believe in things, and it is even more difficult to be unhindered by things.The three wisdoms are composed of the three parts of the heavenly eye, the destiny, and the destiny are clear, among which the destiny is clear by Bodhisattva? Prajna ),Tathagata's enlightenment (Buddha wisdom ),No clarity (Dharma emptiness )composition.These three wisdoms are unique to all great Bodhisattvas and Buddhas. Compared with the six powers, they have not obtained clarity and gain, so they are called clarity.The Three Wisdoms and Six Powers are the infinite convenient methods used by the great Bodhisattvas and Buddhism to transform sentient beings, and they are also wonderful uses from the pure Dharma body.There are many names such as the Thirty-Seven Daoyi and Ten Powers, which are easy to find, so it is omitted.
“The sentence "The infinite and pure Dharma of such a Tathagata" refers to practicing the Dharma mentioned above. If you can practice these Dharmas in accordance with the laws, laws, principles, and Measures, and you can produce the pure Dharma body of the Tathagata.He also advises that all actions begin with the intention of becoming a Buddha, and that if you want to obtain the Buddha's body, you should develop the "Mahayana mind".

Such an elder, Vimalakirti, was preached by all those who asked about illness, and made countless thousands of people develop the Anuttara Samyaksambodhi mind.
This is the passage summarized by the passage. Elder Vimalakirti's false illness is used to express his views, so that everyone can learn from the wonderful Dharma without realizing it, abandon the body of greed and lust, and enjoy the body of Buddha.At this beginning, the curtain of Vimalakirti has shown the wonderful use of "illness".
