"No suffering, gathering and destroying the Tao", what does this sentence in the classics mean?Here we try to **. The "path of suffering and extinction" is often referred to as the Four Noble Truths or the Four Noble Truths. Truth means the truth. The Four Noble Truths are the four truths that are true. The Four Noble Truths contain two levels of cause and effect: one is worldly cause and effect: the two truths of suffering and concentration. The truth of suffering is the fruit of the world, and the truth of concentration is the cause of the world. The second is the cause and effect of the world: the two truths of "extinction and path". The true extinction is the result of the world, and the truth of the path is the cause of the world. If we understand the teachings of the Four Noble Truths, we will be able to break off the path of suffering and extinguish, and thus be liberated from segmented birth and death, and then attain the fruits of nirvana and be freed from samsara.
The truth of suffering is the truth that reveals the nature of suffering in life. Specifically, the truth of suffering can be divided into three types of suffering: suffering, bad suffering, and practicing suffering. Suffering refers to those obvious and painful sufferings and misfortunes, such as birth, old age, sickness and death, natural and man-made disasters, etc. These sufferings often directly cause physical and mental suffering, making people miserable. Bad suffering refers to things that seem beautiful and happy, but in fact they harbor the seeds of suffering. For example, worldly pursuits such as wealth, status, and fame can bring people momentary satisfaction and happiness, but excessive pursuit can lead to negative emotions such as greed, anxiety, and loss. Suffering means that everything that exists is in a process of constant change and birth and death, and has no eternal and unchanging nature. This state of flux makes people feel the powerlessness and helplessness of life.
Where does the suffering come from?Suffering comes from the "set" truth, and the "set" truth is the cause of accumulation and inducing suffering. Karma and afflictions are the root causes of suffering. We need to know the root cause of suffering and cut it off. This is the cause and effect of the world, and it is also the cause of the flow of life and death of all living beings. We don't have a heart in the first place, but when we gather it, we have a heart, and "the heart has no cause and circumstance." In other words, because of the presence of color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, and other dusty realms, we receive their images from each dusty realm, so as to produce understanding, distinguish their similarities and differences, produce love and hate, and then give birth to all kinds of thoughts and thoughts. These kinds of thoughts arise from the convergence of the earthly realm, not one-sidedly and individually. Furthermore, the collection is the accumulation of all the karma of disturbing confusion in the Three Realms, that is, all kinds of karma created by disturbing confusion, which are all self-inflicted. The "suffering" of life and death is caused by the self-made "set", which is the reason why the set is called the cause of the world.
The content of the collection is divided into two categories: troubled and karmic impurities. Disturbing defilements refer to the defilements caused by inner afflictions, including greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, jealousy, etc. These afflictions cause our minds to be bound and unable to be freed, causing our actions to be impure and causing bad consequences. Negative karma refers to the defilement caused by past karma, including good and bad karma, fixed karma, and indefinite karma. These karmas leave traces in our lives, influencing our fates and encounters.
The truth of "extinguishment": extinguishment refers to extinguishment, extinction, and extinction. That is, the path to nirvana attained by the elimination of afflictions and sufferings. "Birth and extinction have been extinguished, and extinction is happiness", attaining the fruit of extinction, cutting off all disturbing karma, and thus liberating the six realms of reincarnation, this is the true extinction.
The so-called "path" mainly refers to the cultivation of the 37 aiding qualities: the four minds, the four righteous diligences, the four divine feet, the five roots, the five forces, the seven consciousness branches, the eightfold path, and the three non-missing learnings: precepts, concentration, and wisdom. There are many contents of the "path" truth, but here I will mainly introduce the Noble Eightfold Path, which is inseparable from the principle of the Noble Eightfold Path, regardless of the Mahayana or the Lesser Theravada. The Noble Eightfold Path is the only way for sentient beings to attain nirvana. The Noble Eightfold Path, also known as the Eightfold Noble Path or the Eightfold Noble Path, namely: Right Vision, Right Thinking, Right Speech, Right Karma, Right Life, Right Diligence, Right Thought, and Right Concentration.
The specific meaning refers to: 1. Correct view, that is, correct opinion, including the correct understanding of the meaning of the law and the truthful cognition of all things in the world. Right view is the foundation and premise of the remaining seven realms. 2. Thinking correctly, that is, thinking correctly, observing and thinking according to the correct view, and making decisions rationally. 3. Correct speech, that is, correct speech, no lies, no gossip, no bad mouth, no double tongue. 4. Righteous karma, that is, correct behavior, not killing, not stealing, not committing adultery, etc., staying away from the ten evils, and doing the ten good deeds. 5. Righteousness, that is, the correct way of life, does not make a living by illegal means, but seeks the necessities of life through legitimate means. 6. Positive improvement, that is, the attitude of continuous cultivation and continuous improvement. Specifically, it refers to the four righteous diligences, namely: the good order of the unborn;has been born and lived;Unborn evil is not born;Evil has been born and destroyed. 7. Mindfulness, that is, correct remembrance, mindfulness refers to the mind that does not give birth to **, and always remembers the Fa-rectification. The content of mindfulness usually refers to the four minds. That is: the place of body thought, the place of receiving thought, the place of mind, and the place of Dharma thought. 8. Correct concentration, i.e., correct meditation, refers to the attainment of inner peace and unhindered state through meditation. Practicing meditation is to integrate the body and mind, collect the six roots, and control the mind in one place, that is, to practice the four meditations and eight concentrations.
In short, the meaning of "the path of non-suffering collection and extinction" is to contemplate the four noble truths of the path of suffering and extinction with the wisdom of prajna, and to see that the four noble truths are also empty and self-natureless. The non-existence here does not mean that there is none, and the non-existence here refers to the emptiness of the path of suffering, and we should also apply the previous formula, and deduce it as follows: "Suffering is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from suffering, suffering is emptiness, and emptiness is suffering." Concentration, extinction, and Tao can also be understood in this way by applying formulas. "Suffering Gathering and Extinguishing the Path" is a philosophical thought and practical method that guides people to practice liberation, aiming to help people get rid of the cycle of birth and death and gain inner peace and liberation.
