Clearance mage about diamond sutra

, a teacher, you mage, men with fix: today we have a very special affinity, "diamond sutra" Lin in your speech.In the buddhist scriptures, process the biggest is the prajnaparamita department.The prajnaparamita sutra, in 49 years, the Buddha used the prajnaparamita twenty-two years."Accordingly, prajna is the center of the dharma.The Buddha will have a total of 16, before and after the Chinese version "the big prajnaparamita sutra has six hundred volumes, heard that there are thousands of volumes of Tibet."Accordingly, so that the most classic, reciting is quite difficult, let alone by a speech.Is, therefore, the Buddha in the ninth by and about, especially when this was said, "the vajra prajna" will be in China before and after the seven kinds of translations, circulation is one of the most widely rosh master of translation.Rosh master put it into a roll, add Wei Yi a short period, we'll read in by the inside in the future, a total of only five thousand eight hundred and thirty-seven words, with the view of modern, this isn't a long article, less than six thousand words.Not only the essence of the prajna, prajnaparamita tenet in the classics of all, we get the volume, can say the dharma is in his own hands.

This volume classics is a compendium of prajnaparamita, prajna is the sum of all the dharma, and also because of this, so you have to access all the dharma, then truly can access the vajra prajna.Why is that?The ancients had a metaphor, "because of the network is the key link", said the metaphor is a fishing nets, the head of the master plan is the net, you can catch platform for network.Truly, truly, but net and outline, very close, inseparable;In other words, we must to the vajra prajna just boring deep solution, and then all the dharma to logically that interact.Why is that?"For the eyes", this is that it is mutual affinity, is the Buddhism outline's relationship with the dhamma.This volume by now that is the platform of the dharma, know the importance of it, that it exhibits the argumentation, the coherent brilliance, also "accordingly.

This indeed is less, very few words, and the boundless, every word has boundless righteousness.Five progenitor endure monk in the tang dynasty, zen master, six ZuHui can strongly advocated, "diamond sutra" is a household name in China already so, flow through the flow without the,, in modern words, of the most famous is "diamond sutra" inside the buddhist scriptures.There are a lot of people don't know the amitabha sutra, but no people don't know "diamond sutra", advocated that is good.We can see by this place, because classical circulated widely, reciting, and our country's national Buddha protect read the blessing, this is also the inevitable fact.

This time we take this is jiang flavour rural and correction, this is not the same as this slightly have some general circulation, here I must to do a simple introduction.Jiang reciting, the lay people life, speech, he according to the dunhuang stone calligraphers and the ancient greatness appearance more than a dozen, a word a word, sentence by sentence to proofread, such ability by the reduction of the whole text, to say the modern we can see all kinds of "diamond sutra" book, this book is the best version.You can refer to rural jiang flavour and the textual criticism of the diamond sutra lectures, this time we send you the book, is attached behind the collating.After watching the, you know that he this book is not the same as general notebook.The taichung lotus club Li Bingna contribution lecture teaching, use the jiang flavour correction for the rural people.I used to study follow teacher li, "diamond sutra" also talked about several times.Recently in various places, the pure land, so that it probably there are more than ten, twenty years did not speak.But in twenty years ago has said several times, is also based on householder the correction of the river.

Jiang flavour is rural, here with all of you here, by the way we do a simple introduction.He was born in the first forty years of the republic of China, said China s everybody with vague concept, we say that AD, he was born in AD 1872.His ancestral home is in jiangsu province, nanjing, nanjing jiangning distance is very near, near nanjing, because his grandfather in hubei judge, so the whole family went to hubei.A young child, he and his grandfather, grandfather reading every day recite "diamond sutra", so he grew up at "diamond sutra" read soundly.So until his life, and life every day to read "diamond sutra" is not missing, again busy time he want to read it again.Guangxu 28 years, in 1902, a the juren thirty years old, he is fame in that time, he in a the juren, after a while the juren can judge, he is not strong, officialdom interest for for fame is quite weak.At this time his wife passed away, this study Buddhism is also a gain to him, he felt the world, to learn the Buddha is more serious, more efforts.

Seven years of the republic of China (1918) formally convert to buddhist, teacher micro forces rely upon a zen monk, for teachers, the bodhisattva precepts, this is when he was in 1918.Close to these idle at the same time, this is a generation of tiantai sect, a teacher, listen to the old mage "on the round", he wrote every lecture notes, gave the old mage wrote after the second day, please give him the old mage, after the book came out, called QinWen to remember.Circulation of this book is very wide, many with seen, presumably the is on the round QinWen ji written by jiang flavour to rural people.That same year, he accepted the invitation from the ministry of education, on behalf of the ministry of education arrange proofreading in dunhuang grottoes found calligraphers, the tang dynasty when people calligraphers a total of more than eight thousand volumes, he spent more than two years to finish proofreading, which is equal to say to him deeply hide is a good chance.

Ten years of the republic of China, in 1921, in the year before he had a "buddhist LiuTongChu", printed by the circulation of Buddhism, is engaged in buddhist generative cause.In 1921 he please speak these idle old mage "mahayana check view", and every one to write notes, he is very attentively and it took a long time to sort out the notes and truths, please spare old mage correction, this is what you see now the mahayana check view ".Although these idle old mage, old mage very polite, inside a lot of important play are almost jiang flavour rural and his thoughts, his understanding, experience, so these idle old mage: "this should not be in my name, use your name."Students, of course, everything is attributed to the teacher, in fact, the concept of mahayana check above "is written by him.In 1930, he will stop the mahayana view above, spoke again, almost more than a year to complete.

The twenty-third year of the republic of China, that is, in July 1934, worry about "diamond sutra" lotus club in Shanghai, to say the old man in his later years completely mature, this realm, we speak of them, solution, transportation, certificate letter, he real insight into the king kong samadhi.Sick about this, because his old age, about twice a week, from July 1934 to September of the second year, the about their success.He said "diamond sutra", actually there are so many places we didn't meet, is the ancient greatness inside the appearance is really has the original opinion, has beyond the ancients.Such as in the beginning, he tells us that the Buddha is often said that all important mahayana sutras, in the light of our launch.As we speak here in the past "born", "born" launched by the karma, compassion very mothballed.Only the vajra prajna, the vajra prajna is the essence of the Tibetan tripitaka, launched in the dressHave a meal, into the health city, begging, so, the meaning is very deep.Performance showed us, Lord supreme dharma, what words of wisdom, in our daily life, living without leave.Jiang lay people, in other words, for us to discover, to learn Buddhism?Buddha bodhisattva, what a great wisdom in life, to perform for us.Sorry for us mere, day and night life in delusion, annoyance, suffering.Are we going to learn the Buddha, how to get us out of the delusion and troubles of life, also want to get, like all buddhas such as come, like big Buddha, what a great wisdom in life, it was real.We this a while and don't live up to what jiang to our enlightenment, of course, more can't live up to the blessing of bodhisattvas, hope in this for a while, get real benefit.This is he said by the skillful.

The current version "diamond sutra", before and after two weeks of question and answer, texts as "" how should live on.In general most of the book brought to prince of three minutes, before 16 points is the first part, after the latter half of the 16 points are you carefully look at the text you will know.Jiang lay people according to the dunhuang calligraphers, according to before tang dynasty, the ancient note to check, found that is not the same as before and after the sentence, four words are exactly the same, combination of different, the first is "should be how to live", second is "how should", meaning is different.A reversed sentence word, meaning completely different.He for our account, ask in front of the "should be how to live", is our hearts should live in where?This meaning is that the tone is like that, should live in what place?This is asked "hair bodhicitta to how to live, to call his focus, not spread", is obviously for incipient big heart people say.And then half speak is "" how should live, is what" cloud "why live?The meaning is not the same, of course, is not the same.This said, is available to explain a lot, teach us from all hair bodhicitta, so we can not live without this question, since said to stay away from all that hair bodhicitta, bodhicitta why it should be living alone?If not, bodhicitta.So behind this question, people send bodhicitta is the person who lived in the heart?Question in this place.Buddha is not we live, the hair bodhicitta bodhi mind do you want to live in?Not the bodhi mind, that is not hair heart, that have no hair.Exactly how to subdue the mind, ask the meaning of in this place, in other words, it is to have heart, has been man of practice.Inventions like this, the ancient greatness, the appearance have not seen him for "diamond sutra" miao righteousness, play well, well, there's a lot like this a lot, this is we can see in the "notes", his "notes" write very detailed.Introduction of this text, in "jiang householder biography", in the "notes" preface to write very clearly.

On May 18, in the twenty-seventh year of the republic of China (1938), the past life, when he was born to tell the public, gold all over, to lead, it was decided to.He saw the Buddha, see the Buddha, the last words, to persuade the public practice to samantabhadra line for the best.Jiang lay life brand is "the Pope prajnaparamita, walk MiTuo", so he is the seeking rebirth in the pure.The greatness can be said to be the qing dynasty, the compassion Buddha at home studying achievement, is we are a good example.In his "diamond sutra" with real kung fu is about more than forty years, when I was a child can read don't understand the meaning that is not to his real effort study, 40 years of time, make the "diamond sutra" a perfect book.His deeds are not under the Xia Lianju Xia Lianju for us to sort out a "born" converged on this, he dozen version to collating, reduction of one of the best and most complete "diamond sutra" book.This suggests that our generation blessed are those who learn Buddha, have such incredible greatness to choose version to us.Before this is a simple introduction, please see under "notes".

The diamond sutra lecture is very long, modern people like simple, be frightened by this trouble.Lecture this time, we also printed three thousand copies, "notes" I'm afraid you don't want to read, "notes" component is too big, so I use a bit of time, the "notes" in the exciting part of extracts, write to the section, the diamond sutra notes section to the inside of the content is jiang lay people had said.The section to the weight of probably less than one over ten of the "notes".This book printed in Taiwan now, probably at the end of the month, to play in next month, the Buddha's seven, books that they can bring, and presented to you with.Now is to put a roll 2 printed, but this month I don't know can you speak out.This time with the repair request hope to speak in detail, detail to this section, I think we should at least three months to four months.This time about a month, the next time we continue to speak, to take this approach.

Please look at the outline and outline is generally through the inside of the mystery, the householder is jiang take tiantai five heavy mystery, said an outline first.

[mahayana from DuDu him for this, since DuDu he based on six degrees, six degrees based on prajna. 】

This prajna is provided by the department in the dharma, it accounts for the status, the importance of it.We learn Buddhism, we listen to, the first thing to ask yourself: why do I learn the Buddha?After why want to listen to?Our goal in the first place, a clear direction, decided not to ambiguities, it can obtain the true dhamma.Learn Buddha, there are some people who are for promoting to a higher position, and peace, longevity, for these;For these learning Buddha, get the interests of too little too little.If, in fact, for this goal, also can get not learn Buddha.Learn Buddha, speaking from DuDu him, what is a "c"?Degrees is a metaphor, like crossing the river, from the shore we took the boat to the side.The "degree" with three drops of a "cross" mean.Is on our side of the shore, is the life and death, rebirth, is trouble, we should from the shore to the bodhisattvas forever no life and death, rebirth, really comfortable on the other side of happiness, this is the purpose of our study Buddhism.In other words, if not put purpose in the cycle of life and death, beyond a, this life we learn the Buddha must be empty, that only through a pity!This is what we can't afford not to know, not clear.

You here to fix the can sit for two hours in pku hall, today in the journal born after the Lord said, in the "diamond sutra", also said, is not human, not ordinary people, are used in a past life infinitely close to support all buddhas such as come, is very good at the deep, you can be with joy, here sit for two hours.If you don't believe that the outside man walking on the road, you ask him to sit down, he couldn't sit still, sit to watch?He sat for five minutes, he will run, he sat not to live.We have to ask, now that's the limit of infinitely to support all buddhas such as come, why also fell to the point where today?Also when a distress beings?This have to ask yourself.It is that it can learn Buddha, are not determined to the life and death, to the three worlds, no under the determination.Therefore, no matter which one do you take the practice is generated whenever you sectarian, mend again good, if can't do more than six metempsychosis, cannot calculate achievement.Why can't work achievement?Think we're now this situation is.Our boundless time make offerings to the buddhas Buddha, is it not can in practice?Into this appearance, so can't be accomplished.But if you want to have success in life, must be the pure land.Jiang flavor although rural people is a lifetime study "diamond sutra", interpretation of the "diamond sutra", he was chanting to survive the pure land.

Consummate Buddha seven last year, one side with repairing, Taiwan also has two with repair, they come to me, I hope I can put the "diamond sutra" say it again.After I listened to, I feel all right, what reason be?I talked about the pure land for so many years, I don't want to speak by the other, was put down.Why this time and bring up "diamond sutra"?This is to see many, many practitioners with kung fu is not effective.Why not right?The first is to see is not broken, the second is not put, while chanting, afraid not to, and empty life.Think about the "diamond sutra" good, "diamond sutra" speak again, to help us he who sees through, help us to put down.He who sees through put down, really honest practitioners, naturally so we speak "diamond sutra" purpose here.The purpose to find out, help us wise up, down, honest practitioners.Must want to know, since the degree of life and death, the three worlds, in other words, we only ordinary life, the afterlife is to be a bodhisattva, decided not to be common, it is called the degrees.

Degree, we also want to help others, since DuDu he must take six degrees, this specially focus on six degrees, six degrees into our daily life behavior, six degrees is a bodhisattva.Place of Buddhism, in his place, in the industry of its own, will take six degrees of ten thousand lines, and then repair the Buddha, Buddha.Any one industry is a bodhisattva, all is the Buddha, theories and methods of "diamond sutra" as we speak.Last one and the avatamsaka sutra "samantabhadra line", we usually also known as "forty hua yan", which one of the most famous is the good fortune the lad and 53, 53 statue of Buddha, which 53 good knowledge is the Buddha, "diamond sutra" inside "all buddhas such as come," said that all buddhas.Shown in them now, there are men and women, old and young, all walks of life, are in line, not to change professions, all in their ordinary life environment, he knows how to repair the six degrees of ten thousand lines, how to fix the bodhisattva way, how to learn to do samantabhadra, life satisfactory achievement."Diamond sutra" is about theory, method, 40 hua yan is bodhisattvas as examples for us, act it out, "the vajra prajna" and "hua yan" is one not two, so the theory and method of main point in this scripture.Lord a start, he need not the light of our launch, in our daily life to play for us and see what kind of day it would be like bodhisattvas, what kind of life, we should learn from him, this is since DuDu he based on six degrees.Six degrees is "virtue, ring, shame, diligence, meditation, prajnaparamita", six degrees is given priority to with prajnaparamita, in other words, is the Buddhism guide, we hope that we will be able to live in perfect knowledge on earth, that is the Buddha, it has become a bodhisattva.

【 prajnaparamita taken boundless righteousness: body empty, I method dispatch, affection of all empty, nothing."

Prajna wisdom is contained boundless righteousness, this is true.Prajna body is empty, is the silence.Empty is not as "no", why call it short?Because it has no forms, our eyes can't see.It has no voice, our ears can't hear you;It is not a form, we can't touch, touch less than, not only we who have decided to go to want to also couldn't think;It has, it is not, it is there, so with empty word to describe it, said that its body is empty.Silence is on the meaning, the meaning of purity, the slightest don't dye, spotless.Not only there is no "I", "law", just like zen six ZuHui can master said, "had no thing, where make dust.Had no thing, the other words very well, no thing is "I," both sides have left.Is no attachment, also is the meaning of the "diamond sutra", should have to live, not mean.Dispatch is put down, give up.

Affection of all empty, "love" is who have decided to, aversion and delusion that is very serious situation of board.Subtle affection is intended, who have decided to be imperceptible mood;, aversion and delusion is too thick, too shallow."Hold" is attachment.These two words, in fact, is the Buddha in the avatamsaka sutra says, "all living creatures have Buddha's wisdom, but by delusion, persistence, and is not to be the", affection is delusion, is persistent.A feeling of delusion is visible with persistent.Recovery, delusional obsession, self is zen home about sex sees.So, why to put down the affection of board, we need to understand this truth.We become common today, in the samsara, suffer, is the feeling of board is not willing to put down.Why not put down?Didn't understand, don't know what it is, actually affection of board is false, not true.Buddha in the scripture "in every country all phase, is false," sentiment of board is false, not true.But you take it as a really false, strong persistence, the loss to eat.

Nothing, Buddha, bodhisattva must have nothing.She asked, have we?We still have no income, you thought you, wrong!That really call affection of board, confused.Nothing is true, we need to enlightenment from this place.

Under these two sentence speak it very well, "knowledge", the life is, the knowledge of all beings, sentient beings thought "the edge of life", that is Buddha, often speak of the Buddha not speak also found all living.Now many scientists found that everything is in western margin, they will all substances into molecules, into atoms, divided into electronic, divided into particles, know that this is the karma body.He doesn't call karma, but with the dharma affinity is a meaning, he knows.But "not see nature".Modern scientists to much progress than the previous generation, such as modern scientists know that no matter exists.What is the phenomenon of material?Einstein considered "field".What's game?The Chinese translated as "field", is a phenomenon as a result of the energy concentration, scientists have said that this is all the phase fluctuation phenomenon.These claims, dharma pretty close with us.Phenomenon of Buddha in mahayana via tells us that the material come from?"Cheung wei shih" idea "one takes no account of the presence of Ming" thought, ignorance is delusion;"Ignorance unknowingly gave birth to three thin, state as yuan long the coarse", the development for ten dharmadhatu is solemn.Material not from others, in other words, "you" is from "empty" cashing out, inside its body is empty, so "a" is not really have, have called magic, in Buddhism there is called wonderful, isn't there really is this.Although scientists talk of "field", when it comes to fluctuations, also saw not sex, or common knowledge.Ordinary "fan of each phase and turn, unconsciously, it's bitter, so he had no way to transcend samsara, the cycle of the line is very difficult to break through.

Buddha know that Buddha "rim is empty", he saw that the sex.Everything he knew and edge phenomenon, the body is empty, there is no self, no self is no self.There is "not", is with the one not two.On the "heart sutra" often speak of "sex is zero", color hue, is material, it is empty.Not to say that the color is empty, not of, itself is empty.

"" when the body is empty, empty is lubricious, sex is zero, this word is hard to understand.If you really knew, you are very comfortable, very happy, you are not a lot of trouble.We had no way, but also in parables, "diamond sutra" teach us to practice finally, the method of "all for method, such as illusory," Buddha for this parable teaches us to visualize.We all have a dream experience, two people sleep together, every man's dream, and every subjects, two people didn't do the same dream.When you dream, if you learn Buddha, for a long time to learn Buddhism, Buddhism is impressive, suddenly thought of, in my dream I'm dreaming, dream inside those phenomena, ask when the body is empty?Indeed.Take the words of the "heart sutra", "sex is zero", the dream is empty, it is a dream, an empty with dreams is one not two, you from here to feel, really.Often think, such observation, and then see if we are now before the world, all living beings, just like a dream, the same.

All that, when the body is empty, there is not have.With non, empty with, it is one not two.We today is the most difficult to clear in the dharma, the color with empty is regarded as two things, how the two are not compatible, do not know it was a pile of things, not two things."Diamond sutra" inside play a lot of a lot of the truth of scripture, so want to know when the body is empty.When the body is empty, you don't, you won't be along with the state to turn.In other words, not affected by the lure of the outside environment.Because when the body is empty, outside if I cannot get, will not suffer it deceives you, don't go by it.In other words, don't do a slave do cows, horses, for it.This world is really poor, Buddha, "mercy", are there dreaming, building industry, in my dream.Buddha with all beings, for the universe is not the same as the truth of life consciousness, so all beings in fan, Buddha's enlightenment.

【 by fan into six, three take for enlightenment."

In the six metempsychosis come from?Fan, fan it's six.Why there are six?Fans have a shallow depth, the fans have to lighter is heaven, heaven there days, there are 28 layer, day to light in the day, the fans have a heavy fall down, the heaviest is hell, six are fan inside.Consciousness is actually, not really, in other words, also have a shallow deep enlightenment kung fu.How perfectly realized, that is Buddha, little points of enlightenment is its tone, bodhisattva, edge;The enlightenment by than by tall, not perfect, so there are three by consciousness.Which means ten dharmadhatu is how come of, the Buddha often speak ten dharmadhatu is in accordance with the MiWu shallow depth is not the same, and three times six, three is its tone, flange, bodhisattva.

[this via an outline: eliminated delusion, persistence, chanting net the central administrative unit of the mind."

The purpose of this by the obvious, is to help us break delusion, clinging to.This is the sentiment of board, speaking in front of the sentiment of board if break, practitioners, it is not hard to kung fu is easy.We often speak recitation, things may not disorderly, a heart not disorderly, it is not difficult to achieve.Under we explain these two words, make a simple table.
