Chapter 14: Born to Know
Wukong is definitely not a stupid person, but his qualifications are really average, and he is far from reaching the realm of peace and security, and he can't even comprehend the Zen machine of Master Shou'an in an instant.
Not only that, although he can usually control his anger, but the so-called five poisons - greed, hatred, ignorance, and suspicion, he can't break any of them at all.
He is greedy for all good things, he scolds when he should be angry, he becomes crazy about what he likes to do, he becomes arrogant when he sees many stupid things, and he is always suspicious of everything whether it is studying or living.
To be honest, how could a vulgar person like him, who is full of poisons, reach the realm of peace and tranquility, it seems absolutely impossible, right?
However, if there are no people with five poisons, then, are they still people?
Since the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, that is, the Buddha legal person, are one, can it be said that the Buddha is also a person who cannot break the five poisons?
Well, if the Buddha has not broken the five poisons, then how did he achieve the state of peace and tranquility?
In other words, the realm of peace and tranquility only refers to...... Is it as simple as a state of mind like a calm lake, reflecting all causes and conditions, and embracing all results?
If there is no thought, no joy or sorrow, no love and no hate...... , like a stone man, is the so-called Anzhirusu.
So, to this kind of bullshit-like realm...... What is the use!
If the saying that the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha are one is absolutely good, then this is very interesting, what is the Buddha, what is the Dharma, what is the human being, and what is the real state of peace?
In fact, all the classics in the world, whether they are Confucianism, Taoism, or Buddhism, explain what is Buddha, what is immortal, what is sage, what is secret law, and what is human.
And the small question of An Zhiruosu, in these classics, has long been answered.
It's just that no matter how many words are used to describe and explain, and no matter how thorough the explanation is, in the final analysis, the classics are just showing the world the path that those sages have walked in the process of exploration.
I have read all the classics in the world, and the answer I found is actually just someone else's answer, which is useless at all!
If you are wrong, it cannot be said that it is useless, it is definitely useful, but if you can't put aside other people's answers and find your own answers, it will definitely not help you at all.
Therefore, what is the Buddha, what is the Dharma, what is the human being, and what is the true state of peace and tranquility, and what is going on in the end, it is very laborious to explain it in words, and it is very difficult to write a bunch of words, and the effect is really very limited.
It's not a matter of passing on a sentence or a fake transmission of thousands of books, but people who are really destined to read those books or not, and what they should understand, will always understand.
So...... , Zi said: "Those who are born to know are also superior, those who learn and know, are secondary, those who are trapped and learn, and those who are trapped and do not learn, the people are the next." When I saw this, I was really depressed to the extreme, and I really wanted to cry out loud.
Those who learn and know...... , the time also!
The word Zhizi said, in fact, contains a lot of meanings, and the explanation of the word in the ordinary sense is fundamentally different from two different things, if you reluctantly explain, you can say so.
Those who are born and have a fate will go up, those who learn and seek fate will be secondary, those who are trapped and seek fate will be followed by those who are trapped and do not know their fate, and the people will be the next.
Fate and knowledge are not the same, and it can even be said that they are completely different things, but if you interpret it this way, the overall meaning can barely be said in the past.
People are different, at least everyone's karma is absolutely completely different, this is simply something that cannot be envied, this is a very helpless fact.
However, whether it is the first or the second, or the second, as long as you are not unlucky and do not look for the cause in a daze, then there is still hope.
That is to say, people with a relatively high congenital starting point, although they can be very good at doing anything, but people who are slightly inferior in nature, as long as they work hard, study and understand well, then the future will not necessarily be bad, but the process is definitely very laborious.
Therefore, Tianxingjian, a gentleman with self-improvement, is a true wise saying that will help everyone!
Compared with this sentence, it's rare to be confused and pretend to be a beep, which is obviously not a fart.
Therefore, if you want to find out what is the Buddha, what is the Dharma, what is a person, and what is peace, it is true that you can look at the path of your predecessors to find the ultimate answer, but in the process of searching, you must have your own understanding, and you must not look at the past in a vague way, absolutely not!
There is one quickest method, which is the fastest in comparison anyway, but there is absolutely no guarantee that the results will be achieved.
"University", "The Mean", "Heart Sutra", these three big articles with very few words, just choose one at random, insist on reading it once or twice a day, and persist until you have an understanding, and you can almost go to read other classics.
What does it mean to have a sense of it, after reading these three articles very much, to ten, hundred, and thousand times, that is, after you have a bunch of ideas, you can be regarded as beginning to have a feeling, and finally, when a year or a few years have passed, you may also have very high qualifications, just read it a few times.
When the three articles of "University", "The Mean", and "Heart Sutra" are all boiled down to one word, even if you really have something.
This is not a dumb riddle, nor is it nonsense to pretend to be a ghost, but a method summed up after real practice, and that's really how it has been done!
Although there is no guarantee that everyone can read the article a lot at the beginning, and then finally boil the article down to one word, and really gain something.
However, compared to other classics with a lot of words, it is still very easy and time-saving to insist on reading these three small articles once or twice a day.
Anyway, don't delay things, stick to the words, no matter whether it can be done in the end, when you communicate with friends, you can drag the text very well, and gain some eyes that others admire, in short, reading classics is not a bad thing, right?
Of course, there is a very important thing is that we must read with a relaxed and casual mentality, no need to deliberately recite, no need to deliberately perceive, just read it naturally, when all the literal meanings are fully understood, then every time I read it, every day I read it, I will naturally have different perceptions, and in the end, whether I can realize the most important word in the article, it depends on whether my fate is enough.
Fate, after a lapse of thousands of years, you can understand the author's intention of writing through the magical bridge of the article, and you will have thoughts, feelings, and gains, and if you don't have a chance, you will also have some ideas, insist on learning every day, and one day, you will definitely have something.
After all, the statement that the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha are one is absolutely true, and from a long-term perspective, there is actually no difference between the previous and the second, there are five poisons, shortcomings, failures, successes, loves, hates, efforts, and decadence, so that they can be called real people and enjoy a real life.
An Zhiruosu is just a small realm that is not easy to explain, it is not the end after all, when you really have it, you will naturally understand one thing, that is, the so-called realm, in fact...... , which does not exist.
