The classic sentence of the Diamond Sutra: ".It should have no place to live and its heart should be born”。At the beginning, Master Huineng of the Sixth Ancestor heard this sentence **, and had an epiphany about it, which triggered far-reaching thinking. How profound is the wisdom contained in this statement? Let's dive into what that means.
should have no dwelling and give birth to its heart", where "undwelling" means: not only thatTranscend the obsession of the six dusts, the six roots, and the six senses, but alsoLet go of all thoughts and purify your heart completely
Whether it's the senses of the six roots, the dust of the six dusts, or any kind of thoughtshould not stay, so that a pure heart can be born。It doesn't matter what you're obsessed with, even if it'sIn Buddhism, as long as you are attached, you will defile the mind, are no longer pure.
In other words,Delusion and purity of mind fight within us, and there can only be one existence, the two cannot coexist. When a trace of delusion and distraction grows, the pure mind is obscuredOnly when a pure mind is born can there be no delusions and distractions
So why do we need to cultivate a pure mind? For wisdom comes from a pure heart, and delusion cannot breed wisdom. This is also true in daily life.
As the saying goes: "The bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused".Because the bystanders have no emotional involvement, there are fewer obsessions; The parties concerned are affected by their vital interests, are obsessed, and are confused. Often, bystanders are consulted for more informed guidance.
The Diamond Sutra mainly elaborates"Emptiness" is the core of Buddhist practice。And "the mind should be born without dwelling" is just like the interpretation of the essence of "emptiness". This sentence can be divided into two parts, one is "there is no place to live" and the other is "to give birth to its heart".
"Dwelling in nothing" means not being attached to the dwarf。It is divided into two categories: internal and external. The inner phase is the personal thoughtWhy shouldn't you live in the Inner Minister? People often have turmoil in the world, and they are inevitably emotional about the behavior of others and the external world.
Appearance is the perception of external things, and its foundation is derived from what has been learned。Buddhism says that the world is made up ofEarth, water, fire, windFour. Only by understanding the four principles can we transcend the wrong views of the outside world. If people are about external thingsObsessed with wrong opinions, all actions are based on mistakes
It is precisely because of the misconceptions about the outside world and the heart that we must:Abandon misconceptions, or cultivate an unfluctuating state of mind。Only in this way can it beTruly "nowhere to live"., so as not to fall into the four false appearances.
Get rid of the shackles of earth, water, fire, and windThe outer world no longer disturbs the inner world。Once you understand that everything in the world is illusory, you will reach the realm of "wonderful vacuum".
So what does it mean to be "born with a heart"? here"Heart" refers to our inner true self, which is Buddha-nature。Cultivation is gradualCultivate kindness and compassion。In the course of practice, one needs to develop a compassionate mind, without distinguishing between you, me, and others, that is, the Buddha-nature of human beings.
Understand what broad compassion is, and then strive to seek and nurture it so that its actions are more in line with it. Gradually, this self-nature, the bodhisattva's mind, is revealed。It is fundamentally different from the greed and attachment of sentient beings. Reaching this realm, the heartAll greed and obsession are empty。Therefore, Buddhism is "the same body and great compassion".
As we all know, Buddhist scriptures are said to be attached to self"Self-grasping" is the source of troubles。When pursuing family and career success, they are often obsessed with themselves; Once successful, pride and complacency; Failure leads to low self-esteem and self-pity.
and overly attached to thingsTreating external things as the whole of life and exaggerating their importance。Once the goal is not achieved, confidence is frustrated and anxiety grows. Excessive attachment can also lead to biased listening and believing, rigid self-use, the burden of life will be heavier.
Understand the "Diamond Sutra" that "the mind should be born without dwelling".It's like finding the key to life's wisdom。Whatever happens, remember thatDon't panic, don't be greedy, don't be delusional, stay calmOnly then can we cultivate a quiet mind, a quiet heart gives birth to wisdom, and the law to solve problems is natural.

Enterprising but not obsessiveGreet life with a harmonious attitude。should have no place to live, ieDon't be overly obsessed, both ego and outward. Only in this way can we walk the middle way and live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Where does the pain come from? That is, the mind is not dominated by the outside world。If we can transcend external influences and cultivate a peaceful state of mind, which is not drawn by external circumstances, we can eliminate suffering.
