1, all appearances are false.
Comment: Nature is real, but the appearances shown are often false appearances. The world we live in is true, true, false, false, false, and real. As a person, you must not seek outward and be obsessed with external appearances. You should return to the original and observe with your heart. As the Heart Sutra says, "I see that the five aggregates are empty and overcome all sufferings." Only then can you see the essence through phenomena.
2. If you see that all appearances are not appearances, you will see Tathagata .
Comment: If you can thoroughly understand that all appearances are false, you will no longer pursue the false appearance, and you will know that there is the existence of the true nature of the self. In this way, the false appearance cannot hinder our self-nature, and we will immediately see the Tathagata. Therefore, if you want to see the true nature of the mind, you do not need to destroy the appearance. As long as you do not stay at the appearance, you should not stay at all the appearances, and then you will see the Tathagata.
3. All sages and saints are different by inaction method .
Comment: The law of inaction is the pure mind of one's nature. It is originally complete and has no appearance of creation. The Buddhist scriptures often say "no practice and no attainment", which refers to the law of inaction. In the practice of Buddhism, you only need to eliminate the delusion and attachment, and eliminate the mind of birth and death, and the pure mind will naturally appear. All sages use this method to practice, but the depth of skills varies.
4, the so-called Buddhist Dharma is not Buddhist Dharma.
Comment: All Buddhas and the Dharmas spoken by all Buddhas are just Buddhas and Dharmas in name and appearance, not Buddhas and Dharmas in nature. Buddhism originally taught people not to abide by appearances or attachments. If they still attach to these Buddhist teachings and stay in the appearances of Buddhism, it is no longer a Buddhist teaching.
5, the mind should be born without dwelling on anything.
Comment: Practicing Buddhism is to cultivate our pure mind. If there is something in the mind, delusion, discrimination, and attachment, it will hinder our self-nature and the pure mind will not appear. But it is difficult for us to have no thoughts in our minds! So how can we achieve " unattached "? Everything depends on the circumstances and is born in a way, without being attached to it. Although there is something to dwell on this way, there is nothing to dwell on.
6. If you are free from all appearances, you will be called Buddhas.
Comment: "All forms" are Dharma forms and non-Dharma forms. You cannot hold on to existence, nor to emptiness. If you let go of all attachments, delusions, and discriminations, you can attain the Dharmakaya Tathagata.
7. You should not be obsessed with form and mind, you should not be obsessed with sound, fragrance, taste, touch, and Dharma, you should be obsessed with nothing.
Comment: The key to practicing Buddhism is to cultivate the mind, but the more you want to use your mind, the more you will have something to stay; the more you don’t feel it is to “become a mind without anything to stay.” The mind is not contaminated by the five desires and six dusts, and can be free from all false appearances, and the pure mind will appear.
8. The Tathagata said that all minds are not minds, which is called minds.
Comment: Tathagata said that all kinds of intentions of sentient beings are actually false minds, not true minds, not hearts from their nature. "This is called the mind." Such a false mind has no real thing, but can only be called the mind, but it is not the true mind.
9, the past heart cannot be obtained, the present heart cannot be obtained, and the future heart cannot be obtained.
Comment: The reason why the three minds are unattainable is that they are all false minds. Our thoughts are endless for a moment, like the flowing water of rivers, the waves before and after waves, pushing forward and moving forward. The past heart has passed, the future heart has not yet arrived, and the present heart has become the past in an instant, so all three hearts cannot be obtained. The mind of birth and death is all false minds, and only the true mind is neither born nor destroyed.
0. All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows, like dew and lightning. You should observe them in this way.
Comment: Not only worldly laws are conditioned laws, but transcendental laws are also conditioned laws. If there is no conditioned laws , how can we practice it? How to stop seeking truth? How can one become a saint?
The law of inaction must also start with the law of action. Therefore, the Buddha taught us that "we should make such a view", not to let us give up the conditioned dharma, but to let us take the inaction dharma as the purpose and the conditioned dharma as the path. While practicing the conditioned Dharma, you must not be attached to the conditioned Dharma and do not stay in appearance, and have visualizations such as dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dews, and electricity. This is inaction. If all scholars can visualize this way when practicing Buddhism, they will be invincible and unbreakable.
