Master Mingyi: Observing the mind is easy to fall into ignorance

Observing the mind is easy to fall into ignorance

Yesterday, I wrote a diary "Attention to the state of easy living in the mind", which wrote about discussing the issue of using the mind to study hard.Because I don’t understand the way I use the mind to study, many people describe how I use the mind to study and study is very similar to that I do not study or that I am indifferent.Therefore, I always advise them to use other ways of practicing to do their kung fu.

Because the characteristic of the method of observing the mind is that the way of working is unclear, and there is no skill that can be used to think of. If you say it, you will not have a life-saving straw to grasp, so this way of working is very dangerous.Because there is no skill that can exist in the mind, when we use "contemplate the mind", we often lose our mind and don't know it.Therefore, I do not recommend long-term use of this method.

Based on my own experience, I can judge my own hard work by reflecting on my kung fu status after sitting incense.If you don’t have a way to think about it, you don’t even have the chance to reflect on yourself.I really don’t know how you can determine whether you are doing kung fu or in a state of ignorance.This is really a dangerous thing.

This is the disadvantage of not being able to recite the kung fu. Doing this kung fu will make us lose ourselves and still don’t know.Therefore, when I meet someone who works hard like this, I advise them to find a clearer way to practice.Because your kung fu has a certain foundation, it is easy to get on the road if you find a way to work.It is safer to silently recite the name of Amitabha Buddha on your seat than to observe the mind like this.

Because it is really rare for you to achieve this level of kung fu. It would be a pity to be lost at this time.You know best in your heart how much time and energy you have spent to reach this level of hard work; how many difficulties and obstacles you have overcome; how much pain you have suffered; how much sweat shed... to reach this level. How difficult it is to reach this level.

If you stop at this time, or stop stagnating, you will know how miserable it is.Although you look very energetic; although you are healthy because of it... I don't think this is what you are trying to achieve.Of course, people who are just starting out in teaching have also said that no matter what their way of studying is.As long as you can sit and survive one Zen seven years after another, the method you use is the best.

But you should know that this is for beginners, and they can get started quickly with a relatively vague way of observing the mind.However, if you want to speed up your progress, you can't use this way of working hard.You have now survived one Zen seven years after another, suffered a lot, and your kung fu has already reached a certain foundation. You cannot stop like this.To get to the next level, you still need to find a skill that can be thought of.

You should know that the method of "observing the mind" could be successful and enlightened by the ancients.But we are no longer ancient people, our foundation has been lost.Otherwise, the ancestors of the Song Dynasty would find us any more ways to study "consider koans", "silent illumination" and other ways to study, because our foundation is not as good as our predecessors, and we need a way to think about fate so that we will not be lost.

Because we need a clear way of working hard, we need to think of a life-saving straw.However, the way of studying the mind is relatively vague and unclear.It feels very good and quiet, but if it continues to be as easy and quiet as this, it will often fall into oblivion and not knowing.This is a terrible thing for those who have been working hard for a long time.

It would be a pity to stagnate due to this reason.So, should we work harder and find a clearer way to work.It’s not too late to find a clear way to practice kung fu now.Otherwise, it would be possible to delay this life. Of course, if you are very clear, it would be another matter.

In order to have a beginner’s convenience, you can use it for a while with a skillful convenience.If you get started with kung fu, you should use the method of working that suits us.Of course, you think that your way of viewing your mind is very suitable for you, so of course I have no right to interfere. Here I just remind you not to make your progress slow or stagnant because of this.

Please pay attention to "It's a pity to see the deviation of the mind" later
