What do you think of today's hot spots
When the Sixth Patriarch Huineng became enlightened, he said, "When the self-nature is, the nature is pure;When the self-nature is not born and destroyed;When the self-nature is self-sufficient;When the self-nature is in the future, it can give birth to ten thousand laws. ”
Master Huineng was born poor, but his nature was innate. When he heard the Buddhist scripture that "one should have no place to live and give birth to one's heart", he realized it in his heart, so he went to seek the guidance of the five patriarchs. Under the guidance of the five ancestors, Huineng had a great understanding, so that he had the four sentences of "when is the self-nature". As soon as everyone is born, they come with their own nature, what is nature?In psychology, the innate behavioral traits are called "temperament", which are divided into four types, namely bloody, mucous, choleric and depressive. However, the nature of Zen Buddhism goes beyond these categories. Self-nature is pure, imperishable, sufficient, and capable of giving birth to all dharmas. It is not a physical being, but a spiritual being. It is not an objective existence, but a subjective feeling. It is not a phenomenal existence, but an essential existence.
The so-called self-sufficiency means that the pure mind in one's own nature guides oneself to move things forward, and at the same time changes cognition according to the development and change to adapt to the external development. When we face things in this state, we don't need to ask for anything else, and our nature itself is fully fulfilled.
It is this kind of pure mind that the self-nature will not be shaken, it is so tenacious and so powerful that it can give birth to ten thousand dharmas. The ten thousand methods here can be regarded as methods, or various ways and methods to solve problems.
