If you understand it literally, everything in the world is empty, but cause and effect are not empty. Let’s meditate today, the word “emptiness” that Buddhism has been preaching.

(1. The Buddha said "emptiness" and form)

The Buddha said: "All things are empty, and cause and effect are not empty."

If you understand it literally, everything in the world is empty, but cause and effect are not empty.

Let’s meditate today, the word “emptiness” that Buddhism has been preaching.

empty - what does it mean? Is it a state of expression? Or express a state of mind? Or describe a physical concept? It seems that these have nothing to do with the "emptiness" of Buddhism. The important origin of Buddhist thought should be from "emptiness".

For example, in the Heart Sutra, it says:

"Seeing that the five aggregates are empty"; "Form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color"; "Form is emptiness, emptiness is color".

Five aggregates refers to form, feeling, thought, action, and consciousness. When you carefully visualize your heart, you will find that all causes and conditions are empty. You will find that the nature of fate is empty. All the troubles in the past have dissipated at this moment, turning into a trace of repentance, lingering in your heart.

Color is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from color. Color is not the color that many people understand. Beauty. The color mentioned in the Heart Sutra is actually the tangible material world. Emptiness refers to the combination of causes and conditions, and there is no change in the self-nature.

The illusion of dependent origination is called color, and the origin of dependent origination is called emptiness.

This world looks very lively, with people everywhere, fireworks everywhere on earth, the four seasons are reincarnated, and the wind and clouds are changing. Life is gradually consumed without realizing it. People yearn for happiness, happiness, pursuit of fame and fortune, and power, as if everything in the world will exist forever.

The endings of people living in drunkenness and dreams are mostly sad and sad. Those who enjoy all their extravagance and desires will eventually be lost in a pile of grass. In the eyes of many people, the meaning of life is just a autumn, enjoying timely and living in the present. In fact, truly living in the present is not the material world you see, but a state of natural enlightenment.

If anyone thinks that beauty is true, it can only mean that he is too impressed. If you ask why you say that, you might as well go and read " Huangdi Neijing ". In the ancient naive theory, there is an explanation for a person's good lust. A person who likes "lust" is actually a manifestation of deficiency of energy.

Life is all caused by greed for beauty, material desires, and power, and fall into an illusory world. The fantasy will eventually be shattered one day, everything begins to cycle again, and pain is constantly in the cycle.

Buddhism has been emphasizing what does "emptiness" mean? The Buddha once vowed to save the suffering of sentient beings. This suffering is that too many people regard this seemingly "real and true" world as a "Shura Field" that pursues fame and fortune all their lives.

Too many people regard illusion as reality and equate money with happiness and happiness. In this way, countless troubles and pains, like viruses, continue to spread in the body and soul, and finally live in the world without any desire to live, becoming slaves to reality.

You must understand the "emptiness" nature of all things in the world. Nothing has always existed. You must know how to share everything with others. You must maintain compassion for the sufferings of the world. You must maintain awe of the wind, rain, thunder and lightning of the world, and understand its impermanence for birth, old age, sickness and death. This may be the best path to practice with the "emptiness".

The last loneliness in life is when you suddenly realize that everything you once had is only yourself left in the end. Your last stubbornness is to live alone and live without any worries.

(2. The non-existence and existence of Tao)

Laozi said: "Nothing is called the beginning of heaven and earth; there is, called the mother of heaven and earth."

can be seen that nothing is the best extension of "Tao hidden and unknown".

What does "nothing" mean by Lao Tzu? Is it really not? It is also an invisible thing, opposite and unified with the tangible thing. Is it a state? Or a state of mind? Give people infinite imagination.

In this world, all wisdom is elevated from nothing, the distance that the eyes can see is extremely limited, and those worlds that the eyes cannot see are constantly changing.Most of what we hear is nutrition-free noise, and the sounds we cannot hear are often the sounds of nature that heal our hearts. We are greedy for all kinds of food, which is full of color, fragrance and taste, but we cannot taste the original taste of the food. These worlds that are difficult to feel with an irritable heart, in fact, are not called great energy. They exist between all tangible matter, but we can only feel what we can touch and what we can experience with the five senses.

A drop of dew hanging on the tender leaves is the aggregate of the energy of heaven and earth, and is transformed from nothing. Life, everything follows this law. All things in heaven and earth are born from existence, and existence is born from nothing.

Lao Tzu said, "Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beautiful, but this is evil. Everyone knows that goodness is good, but this is bad. Therefore, has and does not have mutual generation, , difficulty and ease are mutually formed, length and short are in line, high and low are in line, sound and voice are harmonious, and front and back are following each other."

This world is opposite and unified. What you desire must be hidden behind it, including the money you pursue and the people you love, both positive and negative sides. Often things show the good side, exaggerate the tangible side, and ignore the invisible side.

The formulation of a standard will definitely violate the interests of some people and will also bring benefits to some people. Moreover, this pros and cons are not unchanged. It will definitely be in line with the interests of most people because of continuous innovation, but there is no absolute balance fulcrum. Either the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. It’s just that people need more in their hearts under different states. Everyone has different understandings, so the feelings brought by material energy are also different.

None, what is the use? Lao Tzu advocates: "Govern if you do nothing", because does nothing and does everything for . This inaction means following the laws of the natural way of action. What is the great way? The great way is the way of heaven and earth, and the law of the movement of heaven and earth. The heaven and earth have four seasons, all things have birth, old age, sickness and death, all things have good fortune and fortune, the sun has morning rise and fall in the evening, and the moon has phases and waxing and waning.

Lao Tzu said: "Therefore, the sage governs the mind, the belly, the abdomen, the weak ambition, and the bones are strengthened. The people are always ignorant and have no desires. The wise dare not do it. If you do nothing, you will do everything."

This sentence sounds like the intention of fooling the people, but in fact, this is a general simple philosophy, and this is the truth. The truth is often in the hands of a few people. After all, there are very few people who can truly realize the truth. After all, the great way in this world is not all about paper talk, but all depends on imagination, but to unite knowledge and action and achieve conscience.

Only when your mind can carry the world can you achieve something that changes the world. My enlightenment is told to those who are truly envious. Even if a villain copys it, it will be just a skillful trick, and it is difficult to achieve the grand career of "those who have attained enlightenment will help more".

Taoist thoughts , in the final analysis, is to make people experience the great way of the universe in the cultivation of tranquility and inaction, so as to abstain from self-destruction, cultivate the great righteousness, and obtain the energy of heaven and earth.

Buddha and enlightenment, Taoism is nothing.

In "Journey to the West", the origin of Wukong must be the author who uses the character of Tang Seng to show the world. The ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties in the world are all a self-realization of emptiness. Killing, greed, sex, greed, and food are all human nature, and true practice is to abstain from greed, anger, and ignorance in one's heart.

" Dream of the Red Chamber ", Jia Baoyu was originally a spirit stone left by Nuwa repairing the sky . Because of his greed for the money, wealth and gentle love in the world, he was turned into a human form by Kongkong Taoist, and a dream of fragrance in this Red Chamber! Those intrigues and deceptions in the world and the greed behind wealth and luxury all became dreams of the Red Mansion.

"Reality is also false and false, and there is no way to do nothing." In this world of truth, false and seemingly chaotic, there are always laity experts who will give you guidance on your life and let you get out of confusion. True great wisdom is hidden in inconspicuous little things. Life should be learned like nature. When you return to nature, wisdom will rise.

Facts have proved that people who are too greedy for wealth and prosperity generally have no good ending.

Buddha and Tao are both methods of practicing wisdom and energy. No one is better than anyone else, because the great way of the world, when it reaches the top, actually seems nothing, but it is beautiful, it seems void, but it is actually rewarding for cause and effect.
