copy book and check in on the 6th day, today I copied "Don't believe it is the truth".

Nanyang Huizhong National Master is a famous Zen master in Tang Dynasty . One day, a monk asked him for instructions: "The ancient sage said: Green bamboos are all Dharma bodies; lush yellow flowers are nothing more than Prajna®. People who do not believe in it think it is a wrong saying, and those who believe in it think it is incredible, but they don't know what is correct?" After hearing this, Master Huizhong replied: "This is the realm of Manjushri , Samantabhadra , etc., which cannot be believed by ordinary people and Hinayana. Therefore, the "Avatamsaka Sutra" says: The Buddha's body is filled with the Dharma Realm, and all sentient beings appear before them; As the fate is to go with the flow, you will always be in this Bodhi seat. The green bamboo does not come out of the Dharma Realm, of course it is the Dharma body. The Prajna Sutra also says: The color is boundless, so Prajna is also boundless. Since the yellow flowers do not transcend color, isn't it Prajna? Therefore, the sutra is originally a fixed Dharma, and there are no children in the Dharma. "

After listening to it, the monk still did not understand the truth of "one Dharma is all Dharma", and then asked: "The news in this is true, and the one who does not believe is true?"

National Master Huizhong replied: "Those who believe are the conventional truth", and those who do not believe are the true truth. . "

The monk was shocked when he heard this: "Those who do not believe are ridiculed as evil views. How can Zen master say that those who do not believe are the true meaning?" National Master Huizhong replied: "Those who do not believe in themselves do not believe in themselves, and the true meaning is the true meaning. Because of its true meaning, ordinary people deny it as evil views. How can one speak the true meaning of evil views?”

The monk learned this time that the so-called ultimate truth is not easy to be believed by Hinayana ordinary people.

worldly things cannot be based on belief and disbelief, nor can they be based on likes and dislikes. It cannot be true or false.
