Color is emptiness, emptiness is color.

comes from this sentence in the Heart Sutra by the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang . Everyone is very familiar with it, and even some people’s catchphrases.

But what does this sentence mean?

simply literally, it means persuading us not to be lustful people. With a knife on the head of the word "Se" and you must be alert to yourself at any time.

analyzes the meaning of this sentence from the connotation and combining with the real society. If you understand, you will be very clear inside.

01

colorless, it is a variety of "colors".

It’s dawn, we can see the outside world and many people, this is the favor given to us by the sun.

If the sunlight does not decompose, it will be white and very transparent. If you use instruments to decompose it, you will find that there are seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

will be subdivided and you will find more colors. Such as brown, light cyan, etc.

When we were in school, the teacher told us that white is the most complex color. This is the truth that "colorlessness is colorful". There are many similar principles for

.

When we were eating, we said "a bowl of rice, a meal". If you disassemble it, you will see the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Smell it, and there are different fragrances. You will even find that the food is full of color, fragrance and taste.

In fact, colorless and tasteless is a state of being a human being.

If you are confused by what is on the surface, it is "ignorance", which means you simply see "colorlessness" without dismantling the things themselves.

When you break things up into many things, you have no doubts. For example, if you disassemble the alarm clock and reinstall it, you no longer feel that it is mysterious, and you have realized it thoroughly.

The colorless state gives you a conditioned reflex: you can have a clear idea in your heart when you see anything and will not be confused by it.

02

empty color , treat people without any difference.

In the word explanation of "color is emptiness", there is a sentence: "The best people have no dwelling, no discriminating mind, and no discriminating mind. As for the words and the way of words are cut off, they are quiet and bright."

There is no emptiness, no none, and no . If everything in front of you is regarded as "emptiness", you will find that there are three realms of being a human being: seeing a mountain is a mountain; seeing a mountain is not a mountain; seeing a mountain is still a mountain.

Simply put, it is to return to nature, rather than simply judge from one thing or a person's appearance.

Beauties are not necessarily beautiful, they may have a femtocratic heart. For example, Daji , Baosi led to a tyrant emperor who appeared in an era.

In the mountains and rivers, there are thrush singing, and there are also poisonous insects and tigers staring at the thrush under the tree, eyeing them.

You cannot favor beauty, nor can you deny beauty; you cannot like thrushes, but you hate tigers and poisonous insects. Those who can do this will be truly “fair and just.”

When the Western Jin Dynasty , there was a woman, Hao's . She was originally the daughter of the prefect of Lingling in the Three Kingdoms period. Because her family was in trouble, she had to show up to carry water, chop firewood, grow vegetables, etc. But she never loses her true self-belief and will not respond to other people's gazes.

Official Wang Zhan passed by her, attracting many people's attention, but she looked at her without squinting and fetching water quietly.

Later, Wang Zhan lowered his posture and married Hao as his wife. The marriage was very happy, and Hao also changed his destiny.

In the eyes of ordinary people, when they meet powerful people, they will "open their eyes" and say flattering words; when they meet humble people, they will disdain. The problem of tempting the flames and adhering to the dangers couldn't help but emerge.

Whether in the unit or in contact with relatives and friends, people who are accustomed to pursuing interests and believe that people who are stronger than themselves will help them. In fact, people who are weaker than themselves are the ones who truly fulfill themselves.

For example, if you want to start a business and get rich, it is important to choose customers.But you must understand more that it is your workers who support your career. Workers are weak, but without them, your wealth is a "rootless tree".

Don’t worry about poverty and humbleness, don’t be eager for wealth and honor . Keeping this mentality, you can interact with people normally and you won’t be surprised when looking at objects in the outside world. When you see any price, it is a scooter, instead of staring at the price and making a scream; eating braised pork or cabbage is all about filling your stomach and being very happy, rather than picking around.

No color, life is hard without desire.

Overall people believe that "color is emptiness" mainly advises us not to be lustful. also has some truth.

A hundred years of life, anyone will grow old, and beauties will become aunts and old ladies. In the end, we were all a pile of loess.

You love other people's youth but don't love other people's old age. This is ungrateful.

You eat in the bowl and look in the pot. You are just lacking in greed and cannot even have the happiness of the present.

Rich Hu Xueyan , once entrusted by a friend to take care of his friend's wife. Hu Xueyan said: "Don't worry, rabbits don't eat grass by their nests ."

After a while, a friend found Hu Xueyan again and found that his wife had become Hu Xueyan's concubine, so he was very angry.

Hu Xueyan said : "Why run all over the mountain if you have grass?"

The ugly side of human nature was immediately exposed. If we want to understand that "color is emptiness", we must remove the ugly side.

Whether you are lustful or greedy for money, you must stop at your best.

If you don’t greed for extra things, you will naturally have less trouble. It doesn’t matter if dirty water is poured on you, as people have a clear conscience. This is the strongest thing about people.

What people fear most is not that they have no money, but that they are incompetent and confused. I was confused and nothing happened.

"The wind blows at times. A monk said the wind moves, and a monk said the flag moves. He talks endlessly. Huineng said, "It is not the wind moves, but the banner moves, and the benevolent hearts move.'"

Is it an external object moving, or is it moving by itself? This is a science and also the concentration of being a human being. If you have achieved peace of mind, you will find that everything is empty and everything can be used for yourself.

The calm lake surface reflects everything around you; a generous heart will accommodate the whole world.

If you have time in your heart, you will never be full, so you can continue to accommodate it; if you feel full, let go and take advantage of yourself.

Being a human being, colorless and tasteless, colorful.
