Zen Buddhism has a case that people who are naive cannot read; those who are high-ranking, please continue reading-

We know that the Zen Master Yongjia has achieved great success and was personally certified by the Sixth Patriarch of , but he also has a nun who has become a monk (some say it is a sister, so I won’t verify it for the time being). His meditation skills are not ordinary.

One day, this nun suddenly realized something and thought to himself: Dharma nature is pure and there is no way to stay; I am tired of noise and silence, how can I achieve enlightenment?

The general meaning is that the Dharma nature is pure, pure, inaction-free, free and free, free and free, and does not contaminate the dust. It originally had no intention of coming and going, but now I hate the noisy places and likes and dislikes, and I like quiet caves - and there is such a distinction between attachment and likes and dislikes - how can this be considered to be enlightened to the Buddhist path?

?

There is a saying that goes, "The big is hidden in the city, the small is hidden in the wild." This nun obviously realized the difference between "big and small" state, and felt that he should be "big", but he was just starting out and had no idea of ​​the depth of his skills. Of course, he had to find a place to try his best - so he ran to Zen Master Xuefeng to "fight".

Taishi Monk Erxiu commented: Judging from her thoughts, it is obviously not yet available, and she is a little anxious - this also destined that her "fighting" cannot prevail, and this has laid the groundwork for the "defeat" below.

When Zen Master Xuefeng first met her, he asked a very normal sentence: Where did you come from?

nun replied: I came from Darishan.

(Comment: This question and answer is also normal. According to research, Dari Mountain is located in Wenzhou, Zhejiang. Before leaving, this nun meditated in a cave on the mountain. He realized that he was "disgusted with noise and joy" while sitting, so he decided to go out to "fight".)

Zen Master Xuefeng continued to ask: Is the sun coming out?

means, how have you practiced after meditating in the mountains for so long? Have you gained anything? Have any experiences? Have you ever realized your mind and realized your nature?

Zen Buddhism often compares the moon and the sun to Buddha nature. For example, there is a verse saying:

My heart is like a lantern, ignite the inside and outside, and there is something comparable to that of the whole world. The Ming Dynasty sunrise east.

Ni Shi replied: If the sun comes out, the snow peak will melt.

The sentence is a bit "not talking about human words", and it is quite "arrogant" - if I understand my mind and nature, I will transform you, Zen Master Xuefeng. The implication is that I am higher than you.

Zen Master Xuefeng heard this, and this girl exclaimed so loudly! So he took a step back and lured the enemy into depth, and kept hidden without sending out.

In fact, many times, "fighting" is like fighting. The best tactic is "you hit yours, I hit mine". Only when I don't fall into your framework can I take the initiative. Otherwise, if you are led by the other party, you will easily fall into the other party's trap.

Zen Master Xuefeng is an old driver after all, and he is well aware of "you hit you, I hit me". Not only does he not follow the other party's topic, but he also has to try to hold the other party's nose. So he adopted a sports tactic - discovered the other party's flaws in the movement, and then defeated the enemy with one move - so he temporarily put the previous topic on hold and continued to look for new topics.

Xuefeng asked: What do you call ?

nun answered: mystery.

Xuefeng asked again: How much fabric does your machine weave in a day?

Mystery Answer: inches is naked!

is OK, the flaw is revealed - and it is still a big flaw. What are the big flaws of

?

Let’s look at this conversation. First, the nun Xuanji is simply a "straight woman". She is like a mountain cannon. She will answer whatever others ask, and she has been being held by the other party.

On the surface, the nun Xuanji answered very smartly, but in fact, she had fallen into the trap of the other party: You will answer whatever others ask. No matter how wonderful you answer, it is passive, it is also in other people's framework, and is also moving according to the other party's design.

Secondly, someone asked you "how much cloth weaving a day" (where you work hard every day and what kind of work you use). As a respondent, not only did not point out that "weaving" is also "not real", but also followed the other party's intentions, and exposed your "all levels" very "obediently": inches is naked. The four words

made 3 "mistakes".

1. Saying too much will block your own retreat (I will explain it in detail below).

2. "Certify" yourself, showing off your own unmodestly, exposing your "crazy wisdom".

3. Establishing a "no hang" image, which violates the principle of "not establishing a law" mentioned by the Sixth Patriarch. Everything has its foundation, there is a break, and there is no break without it. These three big flaws give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of.

Let’s look at what “tired” means?

means that you have realized emptiness, no discrimination and attachment, you can go with the flow, come and go freely, your mind is free from worries, and you are not stuck or stuck.

Who dares to say such a big talk?

Others asked you what level you have cultivated, and you said I have no "persistence". Others are reluctant to throw away your phone or slap you in the face. What do you think of your reaction? If you don’t react, it’s wood, and if you react, it’s “persistence”—this is destined to “defeat both advance and retreat.”

The most taboo thing about meditation is to speak big words, not testify, and say that oneself is enlightened. It is easy to say big words, but most of them are "kung fu" in words, which is clever and quick argument, which is a catchphrase, a catchphrase, and a clever mind, not Zen.

What is Zen?

Sixth Patriarch said: If you see all dharmas, your mind will not be contaminated... and use it will be everywhere, and you will not be attached to everything.

Zen is not between the mouth and tongue. It is both a state of mind and an attitude. It can be used and can be everywhere, and it is not attached to everything. Therefore, whether has reached this point does not depend on what it says on the mouth, but on the reaction to the situation.

first two rounds were only on the "verbal debate". Xuanji thought it had the upper hand, but whether your kung fu was true or false, it still had to let it "use" in the real world to prove that it was true Zen. So Xuefeng stopped talking, but he was holding a "bad trick" in his stomach; Xuanji thought he could win and withdraw the troops, but unexpectedly, Xuefeng killed another shot.

Just as he walked three or five steps, Xue Feng suddenly shouted: Girl, your cassock is mopping on the floor!

My was shocked and quickly turned around and looked around.

Xuefeng banned: is so naked!

You are naked, and you still care about whether you mop the floor or not?

Mystery is speechless, and I feel like I have realized something right now.

Facts have proved that Xuanji's awareness of himself before going down the mountain - " is not Daye " has not weakened at all.

In fact, this is also the state of most people. They only understand the truth in theory, but do not achieve actual proof. Once they have truly experienced it, they do not deliberately show off their madness, wisdom, standing in front of the air, fighting for victory or defeat, and fighting the storm.

also tells us that before they are verbal, all clever arguments are the ability to speak out, and when they meet experts, they are crushed to death.

But finally, the vulgar people in this case cannot be seen by the vulgar people. In the past, I met some turtle grandsons who like to use "tired" to make fun of, blasphemy, and spoof - those who can read this are all upper-class people, and upper-class people only go to enlighten wisdom from the public case, and other than that, they are naked.
