The Fourth Awakening of the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng

1. When the Patriarch asks about the Four, the sixteenth verse says:

University Park landscape: purity 
Equality nature location: heart disease- 
Dieu observation position: see such work 
List the wisdom: Council officer 
Five, eight, six, seven Results of transforming 
Only use quotations not true nature 
If Where the transfer of love is 
still rattling Na-old.

"Grandmaster of the scene: pure nature." The scene is as bright as a bright mirror. This is the mind of the Buddha Tanh, or say the Sixth, is the nature of which every living beings have. In beings, the mirror is contaminated, containing all the experience of beings, such as the mirror contains all the silhouettes, and these silhouettes obscure the mirror. Still in the liberator is still the mirror but the shadow is not polluted, the ball does not "love", so the mirror is always bright, "still na-old".

The mirror holds all of the defilements, so in sentient beings is called the basic A-back-skin or Tibetan consciousness. A-re-conscious is the scene of the pollution scene. The form of consciousness is "transforming into the mind", which is to transform the unconscious A-type into a non-polluting scene.

It is possible to remove or purify the defilement because the pollution caused by birth is temporary, not sustainable forever. Especially the nature of the mirror in the morning, never contaminated. The mirrors contain all the shadows, but the mirrors are not defiled; there is no shadow in the mirror; with or without shadows, the mirror is still clean and shining.

That mirror, self-nature, according to the Luc is the net, not tainted: "pure nature". Evangelism is to see the example of the pure nature of the capital, and thus free from any defilement. Once the enlightenment is "Grand place scene: pure nature", the shadow in the mirror scene pure atmosphere is also pure.

"Equality of mind: mind is not sick." The mind does not have the distinction of love, hate, separation ... this is Equality of mind. Equality is still the mirror of the scene, but emphasizes the equality of the mirror. Mirrors are equal, flat in all shadows, no high, low, far away, deep, clean, dirty ... All of these are hopeful, hopeful of people who do not know the mirror. All the balls are equal in the mirror because all the balls are mirrors.

The seventh consciousness, with its falling, falling, and falling, has caused the disease to cause the mirror to flicker, high and low, to come, many less. Out of the disease, mahana-consciousness is equal.

"Dieu observation of mind: see not work". The observation of the mind is seen without adding consciousness to the distinction, without the effort of discriminating, clinging. Seeing no effort as a mirror at the same time showing all the shadows, all the form that the mirror remains motionless. This is what  the Surangama  referred to as the Tanh. The sixth consciousness, when it ceases to distinguish its own karma, is right there, which is mind-watching.

"The establishment of the scene: fellow scene." In the first consciousness, ie the five sense organs, the buds, the buds, the buds, the buds, the buds, the buds, the buds, the buds. The phenomena by the sense of experience are pure, that is, the scene of the scene. Thus, the things in this life of birth and death are transformed into Chan, birth and death disappear. The ball in the mirror when the net is the mirror is the mirror.

Thus, Luc said that the senses have transformed into pure, their senses and objects are in line with the scene, which means that the generals are pure, in the same with the pure nature.

"Five, eight, six, seven transferred." Fifth year is sensory awareness. Sixth is the sixth consciousness. Seven is the seventh fall Monday. Eight is an A-back. All eight modes are transformed by the causal process. Each consciousness is both the cause and the other, as the process of birth. Metamorphism is from root to tip and from tip to root.

But in general there are two types of transformation. For those who do not know, ignorance, awake, the darker the more impure. With the knowledge, the more conscious becomes the mind, the more pure, happy. With the previous, Tanh turned into a general. With the latter, the general turned into Tanh.

"Only the name is not real." All eight original nature of pure capital, so divided into eight modes of defilement, that is only the name, not real. Eight forms are only available in relative truths for easy practice. In absolute truth there is only a pure, although the Prime Minister even a pure.

The body of consciousness is the mind, the constant constant. Just because of the temporary defilements that divided the consciousness. Thus, consciousness is only on the name, but consciousness is not real. Because the true nature of consciousness is the mind that is constantly pure. As the ocean turns into waves, they both share the salty taste of the ocean. Like a gold making thing, things are essentially gold. It is the Buddha Tanh is also the Buddha Tanh.

"If the place is not moving." The mirror always has, always "turned" into the ball, but the mirror is forever mirror. All troubles of affliction begin to arise when there are shadows that turn into love, birth, love, take away, have self and not me, there is mine and that. It's not me ... There is such a relationship is infected with defilements, afflictions, suffering.

"Still boring old Na-old." If you do not add to the mirror with the ball of emotions make the distorted, messy, although the ball moving up and down, the mirror is still "in Na-old". Na-sen is a dragon, symbolizing the Enlightenment. The old or the Buddha is the determination of the capital from the beginning to infinity. It is also the mirror of the mind: "Grand place scene: pure nature".

Practice is to make things happen, to realize them. It is the immortal and pure life that Buddhism offers.

     1. Through the opening remarks on the eight consciousness and the Four Mindfulness of the Sixth, we also notice the following:

The Buddha said, as the ocean has only one salty, the Buddha's Dharma has only one taste. Later on, Buddhism was divided into sects according to the practitioner, but the sects were the same. One is "the true general of all dharmas." Consequently, the schools of communication are mutually supportive, not negative, negative. All sects are the same foundation that  the Enlightenment  called the "pure human origin of the origin of the Buddha, is also the pure sense of all beings. From that foundation there are different paths to the same Buddha.

Talking about the Four Minds, is a great theme of the Mindfulness, we also see the Tantra, and here is the Zen, and scattered in several other schools. The sects in One Sense are not different. So, the great masters of a lineage are understandable and open to cover other sects to make Buddhism more abundant.

In the teachings of the Sixth Patriarch in the bible, he mentioned and quoted from many discourses such as Vimalakirti, Diamond, Mahaparinirvana, The Great Consciousness, Great Prajna .... In this business, he talked about many topics of the Mahayana, such as the Three Bodhisattvas, Non-Prime Minister, Unborn, Non-Concepts, Meditation, Refuge, Remedies, Repentance ...

One of the sects of a sect goes to the sea of ​​Buddhism, so he understands so deeply that he can use all the other sects to benefit so many beings, as the Bodhisattva vow : "Divine courses of vow to study." The history of Buddhism has shown that any sutras that are deep enough to extend their reach, including the other sects, develop over time.END=NAM MO AMITABHA PURELAND=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH TAM GIAC.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA PURELAND=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.4/11/2017.
