In India when old at the time of the Buddha was in the world , the rainy season usually lasts sometimes up to several months. It is during this time that the monks gather enough to hear the Buddha preach and meditate in concentration . Time this is called a three-month retreat . Later, the monks as well as the Buddha went to each fall to spread the Dharma and they only return here before the rainy season next year.
One day, the chronic low season, which is also the date of cancellation of the father-to-date, so king of Persia-anonymously many vegetarian dishes prepared especially and officially the king to invite the Buddha and the monks come to make offerings . In addition , the rulers also prepared enough vegetarian to offer the monks to offer offerings . Buddha told him Manjushri Bodhisattva divided the monks into groups to go to each church.
Meanwhile , Mr. Ananda because the applicant has suffered separately, should return no time to attend to the customers we increased Worship. He brought a bowl enters into, posture perfectly dressed , posture, slowly, through every house to obscure reality. With interest per class, he wanted to complete blessing for all people , without discrimination , aristocratic or grade average citizens. He just wanted to meet people who are not doing good, so today they have a chance to play center offerings , so help them sow good day after they reap an excellent result. As I think so,
Mr. Ananda are in distress , very sad , just hands and recite the Buddha and towards Germany Chi Ton to ask for help . The Buddha was so touched , so when he had just finished the lecture , he immediately returned to the monastery sit lotus, broadcast a thousand Lotus flowers and began to say mantras Surangama. Then,
After being escaped from the accident , Mr. A Nan came to the place where Buddha bowed prostrate, sad, crying and said to the Buddha:
"The Blessed One! Child from back any time to have the heart for granted because you are children of the Buddha, the Buddha of love , certainly Buddha will give me magical powers intellectual , or attainment of Bodhi , should only worry educated heard, that Do not enlightenment, do not expect any Buddhist monks certification. Even if you are a Buddha's child, if you do not cultivate, it will not help! Buddha would bow broad kindness compassion, teach the methods that ten schools of Buddhism practice is enlightenment attained ".
The contents of the Surangama Business is the Buddha taught them the birth of the mind . Because beings do not realize is chon should be permanently lives beings , damnation in the ocean of birth and death and subject to countless miserable. Buddhas are also already escape rebirth , is free of liberation , psychic self in, wisdom, infinite and He has enlightened by chon .
In other words the Buddha with being jointly an emptiness chon , but he was totally enlightened being can emptiness was so new to Buddhism . In contrast , being so ignorant to nature chon , should be rebirth . If we are aware of the mind , we will be like the Buddha. Enlightened chon like waking dreams, not enlightened chon as sleeping dream .
Because the Surangama is so precious, so old Indian kings consider it as national security and not to spread the business out. We remember, money Tang has he Xuanzang ( Tang Monk ) across India and in here a lot of years to sometimes know how the business which we see today, but he did not know in India There is also the Surangama. Just in time behold, inside China have positions assumed University Professor , Is the founder of Tiantai , using his knowledge to invent the Tam Tam Tam . When he Tri Assuming University professor lectured on the subject Tam The importance of this to the monks of India when he visited Mount Tiantai , the monk India revealed that subjects Tam Only Tam Quan almost like Economic Capital Surangama inside India . From which China knows there is still a set of half that they have not known.
About 100 years later, in the era of Empress Wu Emperor Emperor, with his Real Lac Secret Empire, people of India , has twice sought to bring Shurangama to spread to China, but because the law is too strict to How to achieve . To the last, he wrote in the piece of thin silk, then rolled, cut thigh stuffed, bandaged as people with scabies, new success brought out.
His Real Lac eyes to use the sea to come to Guangzhou. When he came to Nam Thuyen land, he met the layman Phong Dung . Layperson Room Capacity at an early age as the civil Thua Minister for emperor Wu Zetian, but for committing mistakes should be transferred to the office in the land south as this boat. Because he is the official, he is a learned scholar and also a great fan of Buddhism . When listening to his Real Lac eyes to talk about Shurangama , he very excited , but when you open up the gore silk long clung to lose both words .
He Rooms Dung invited his Real Lac eyes to translating from Sanskrit into Chinese. His eyes to the epidemic, also relating Room Capacity back consonants, to try Shurangama not the meaning very well that literature was wonderful . From ancient times the scholar , not necessarily as in Buddhism , but Confucianism , each viewing to Shurangama are respected and extremely praise the sense of the sublime and the literary excellence of trading.
Before talking about the mind , the Buddha asked Ananda seven times about the usual place of mind.
1) Mind in the body: Buddha said that if the heart is in the body, then first it must see the heart, liver, intestines, lungs ... and then see things outside. So can anyone see his heart, liver ... yet? Thus the mind in the body is unreasonable .
2) Mind outside body: At Buddha offered his arm, then his eyes Ananda saw arm and his mind immediately distinguish . Buddha say if his eyes saw things his mind immediately recognizable , the body and the mind is not able to leave each other. So saying mind outside the body is wrong.
3) Mind hidden in the eyes: Ananda said mind hidden in the eyes; As well as the eyes of the wearer, the mind sees only the outside , not the inside. The Buddha taught that if the mind as well as the eye of a person wearing glasses can see the goggles, and his mind does not see his eyes? If his mind sees his eyes, then his eyes become visible, it must be outside his body. If the body and mind apart from one another, how they saw his eyes, his mind immediately recognizable . Hence the mind behind the eyes is not right.
4) The body of beings , in the viscera, vented complaints ( five senses ) outside. The organs are dark, the base is bright. If you open your eyes to see the light called to see outside, close your eyes to see the dark see in the body. Buddha teaches when Ananda eyes closed dark, the dark scene is for the eyes or not for the eyes? If the eyes are dark in front of the eyes , ie outside the body, why say in the body? Suppose that in the dark body in the dark room there is no light, what in the dark room is his organ? Saying so is wrong.
5) Thought is the mind: The mind is born of the French, the French birth of the mind. Now you think , it is the thought that is your mind, depending on the thought of the mind, not in, out and in between. Buddha taught that the mind is not self can not think . If there is no self that can be thought , then no sense of sight is immaterial , this is not true.
6) Center in the middle: An Nan says if the mind is in the body, why not know in? The mind outside, the body and mind know each other? Thus, "mind" is in the middle. Where is the Buddha in the middle? Where in the body or in the scene? If the body, the heart must see in front of the intestines, liver, phèo, lung in. This is wrong. As for the scene, is it possible to raise or not? If it can not be mentioned, it is not. And if it can be stated, it is impossible to decide which place is centered. Why? For example, if you plant the center of the tree, look from the east, the tree in the West, look from the south, the tree in the north,
7) The very front is the mind: The mind knows discrimination , not in yourself, not outside yourself, not in the middle, not in place yet, not cling ( no advance ) all, it called attention Is it Buddha told An Nan : You have the mind of the mind is not anywhere, so as the species flying over nothing , in the water and on the shore, called all the objects in the world that you were not before, is there. or not? Not like rabbit horn turtles . If there is no preceding, then it can not be called no. No new generals no, no, there are generals, mind has accepted generals,
In the question, the Buddha just wanted to bring Ananda to the place of self-realization because the Buddha's words are not true. The Buddha only used fake drugs to treat the disease of A Nan . Why say the dummy? Because the arguments of An Nan is not true. Why say fake drugs? For the word out observance of Buddha nor truth. Actually, when Ananda mentions the mind in the body, outside the body, until the mind is not in the first place, then there is no wrong place or wrong. But because he accepts a certain place, the Buddha said not right. If the patient can accept not expired yet, the countless places, but where only seven persons only? If the illness is gone, then there is no place,
Nature capital duality , if approved according to the Buddha, for the truth is not in binary, for truth is not outside the binary, so anyone can somewhere, or any such persons are in a binary. Why? Because if there is a place where the other place is not available, the place is not empty space. Therefore, the Buddha said: "Phàm organic language , the real meaning," the fake speech is not true.
After breaking the clutch of Ananda , the Buddha now slowly pointed to Tam six times. Initially , the Buddha temporarily refers to the sense of intuition as listening, seeing ... the mind. When Ananda has already understood, the Buddha has risen to the next level, the senses, though not the hope, but not the mind . Finally Buddha said only the Essence born the senses are the true chon . All measures are from the mind turns out, as the aggregates , continental enter , bases ,
Venerable Ananda and public intellectual is smooth , recognizing that all beings floating in the rebirth or evidence attainment Bodhi joyful liberation are also due at the bases . In the joy of the Fa conference , the Buddha asked so in the six grounds should follow the basis to achieve the pine? Now 25're great Arhat , Bodhisattva top in the order presented to the Buddha experienced enlightenment around.
Bodhisattva Manjushri told Ananda :
- A Nan! He should listen: I obey compassionate Buddha, say the practice to practice this. He brought his hearing, listening to all disciplines intimate of Buddhas, much like mote if these afflictions illegal sex without exception, the hearing even more mistakes. He knew to bring his hearing, listening to the disciplines of the Buddhas, why he did not bring that listening, back to hear his "nature of hearing".
- A Nan! "Hearing" is not natural born, due to the (bare hearing) so called "hear". If turn the hearing back to the nature , not running in the language, then escape the voice (bare hearing). At this time, the hearing is no longer called the listener anymore (because there is no longer treat so there is no name called). One ear (ear) has been returned to the feet, then all six are also freed .
- A Nan! The feeling : seeing, hearing, or, that he knew of, were bogus, as the eyes are closed. There are three realms of sums are not here, is not true , is like flowers in the middle of nowhere . When the sight , hearing, or, turn back to the feet, as the other eyes chewing. When the ceiling was empty, his mind was calm .
When the mind is completely purified , then, is the position the optical to throughout out . Then chon he just solitary again just shines, how pervading the whole ten unreal world , then he returned to see the scenery out the money in the world , as well as work in the dream . When he was like that, Matangi in the dream did catch him.
- A Nan! For example, cartographers do things, though they see movement , but mostly at the dispensers. If the other machine is withdrawn, the other one is quiet, because it has no nature . His six bases are the same , the root of the heart, because ignorance hopes to be six. If a reflection on the feet, then the six senses failed. If the ceiling is still left, then he must cultivate. When the ceiling structure of all, the mentality he was totally lucid, that is Buddha.
- A Nan! He revolved his hearing returned to the feet of emptiness, not chasing distinction expectations ceiling outside, he instantly attained enlightenment supreme . This really is the practice staff .
The Buddha much like the Mote also are due to a road this that the door Nirvana. Currently the position Bodhisattvas and those who practice the next life , have conformation disciplines the one and enlightenment . I also thanks the disciplinesthat this was attained , where just alone he Avalokitesvara cultivate this way only. Now the Buddha taught children to choose the method of spiritual practice , to allow the later Buddhist monks soon become a result, is only his practice only Avalokitesvara is most. How many of the legal practice another, thanks to compassionate of Buddha new households are achievements . All of these are from the general situation that eliminates the ceiling , so it is not a method of longpractice . Lord Buddha! Method This is very easy to cultivate, mau be a direct result, can offer to teach Ananda and beings afterlife , according this practice , the more the method of another.
It is a practice of enlightenment completely , freed ultimately , that bodhisattva Manjushri behalf generator said in Shurangama , bring innumerable benefits to all living beings as well as the position Bodhisattva New development of the mind so that the realization of the mind . For us , no distinction radical indigo, without distinction of age and circumstances , people , all men and all times are able to apply the extrajudicial elaborate a continuous practice of this to advance to liberate completely . Bodhisattva Manjushri indeed deserve to be proclaimed as your Holiness Allies commended Dhamma .
A typical example is when our eyes see a car parked in the street, this first sight tells us that the thing is a car. So when we know it's a car, the knowing is the mind. But when he looked up again, then we have a new assessment this car is very beautiful blue. When the know turn into distinguishing the chon no longer exists but was replaced by delusions . Because when we see the car is beautiful, our mind is deluded and greed begins to revolt. The Buddha said: This is the root of suffering.
Another example is the empty night at a playground. As soon as we hear it, we know it is the language, this knowledge is the mind . But when listening to the old, the sound of the guitar up and down to make our heart flutter . When the knowledgepassed into the tumultuous state , the mind also turned into thought . Because the knowledge of the tongue does not make our heart vibrate, it means that the heart that our heart pulsates means that delusion is rising in our minds .
In summary, the awareness of the original thought is the mind . The distinction of later thoughts is thought .
So when faced with the external environment , but we do not start wanderingdiscrimination under expectations ceiling , which means we rotate the senses , such as seeing, hearing, or, said back to be nature chon . If the idea does not start, the heart appears. In this business, the Buddha also teaches beings to keep their precepts so that their minds can be purified and their new minds will give rise to wisdom in order to eradicate ignorance .
Finally Shurangama ngiệm replied to messages with beings that everyday people every six bases in contact with six ceiling , the mind immediately distinguish constitute six awake. The six main ways of seeing, listening, tasting .... If people only know the distinction, then the idea has not arisen and the mind still exists. Conversely after learning the distinction mind immediately chasing the notion of taking-yard-si is of course true mind disappeared and been replaced by promising formula . For example, if we tasted a dish, we knew it was good or bad. Knowing nothing bad deliciously disastrous that notion then want to run under the delicacies that criticized new urban cuisine disastrous .
Therefore oil center with distinction but if the mind does not cling to the true mindis still revealing. Conversely, after the mind distinguishes the mind run under green earth outside the true mind disappear and be replaced by a realistic delusion to take people deep in samsara . In the Buddhist Kim Cang teaches that: "We are not interested in the birth of mind center", ie do not let your mind attached to the six ceiling , the mind will be pure . Six human bases are like the six doors of a house. If we open the door, the six attempts to make sure wind green earth is the color, sound, smell, taste, touch, legal will overflow into the house that is expected wake from six ceiling will spill into invaded the consciousness of us .
Mind now been replaced by promising form of pollution from the outside as the mind is impure that take-yard-delusion arises constantly creating opportunities for people to easily create professional. Remember, karma is still life and death . We should wake up to life with our original pure nature , the six will be clear that six bases are no longer attached or depending on the realms , colors, flavors ... outside. For example , knowing that eat to live, the problem eating is no longer important. Just as cars, houses ... are the only means of living a human being without being enslaved to it, the mind is no longer attached. This is where you live with your mind .
Knowing is to accept what is true for things. But all things are impermanent , so knowing she impermanence perishes . Knowing is not accepting ignorance. Know the two Yes, not the known birth kill . To know is the knowledge of the mind , not the two sides of the Yes and No. That is spiritual knowledge, Chon Tanh of us so.
