Old monk Xu Yun: Which is better, chanting Buddha or participating in Zen?
Meditation and chanting Buddha are two things for beginners. It seems to be the same thing for people who have been repairing it for a long time. Meditation no longer talks about life and death, but also comes from firm confidence. If the woman can't hold it, Zen can't participate; If you have firm confidence, go with the news until the tea is unknown and the rice is unknown. When you master kung fu, your roots will fall off and you can still use them now. I am familiar with Buddha's kung fu, and the internet environment is the same as before. In this state, the directors are all integrated, and the heart is the Buddha, and the Buddha is all beings, just like there is no Er Ru. What is the difference? ..... Zen is a super straightforward thing, but it can't be repaired unless it is rooted in Nina Li Chi. In the end, the obstacles of all beings are deep and shallow. Only by chanting Buddhism and Dharma with fame and fortune can we live and die and go to the Elysium. Starting from Zen is two different things, and so is its success. Only when chanting Buddha, we must pay attention to it. Those who don't go to class are actually called. Every sentence is true, and it is corresponding. After a long time, it becomes a piece of itself. What's the difference between doing things wholeheartedly and reasoning wholeheartedly, forgetting myself and taking part in meditation with self-centeredness? Therefore, as the saying goes, "When you think of Amitabha, it is for supreme deep meditation." Master Zhong Feng said: "Zen is the pure land of Zen, and the pure land is the pure land of Zen. He read the oral Buddha, took part in the mantra, deceived himself, or died if he didn't succeed. How can he get rid of it? " Today, most people who participate in Zen don't understand the method of Zen purification, and it is wrong to slander the pure land as Hinayana. Although the introduction to Zen is different, it is the same when you get home. Most people only know that Zen master Zhao Zhou said, "I don't like to gargle for three days when I hear the word Buddha." ..... "In front of a few words, as often opposed to chanting. This is a misunderstanding. You know, there are still a few words behind, that is, someone asked Zen master Zhao Zhou, "Who is your teacher?" Zhao Zhou said, "Ten Buddhas. Who is the teacher of the Ten Buddhas? " Zhao Zhou said, "Amitabha. "Visible amitabha is the teacher of ten buddhas. ..... Originally, Buddhism meant life and death. Meditation, chanting, reading and worshiping Buddha, all kinds of Buddhism, facing the machine, what kind of machine are you, and what kind of method do you say? " Buddha said that all laws are for all hearts; I don't have all my heart, so why should I use all my methods? "For example, Chinese medicine is divided into monarch, minister and assistant, and it is well coordinated. Eat a sweat and get well; When you get well, you don't need to take medicine. The ancients said, "But there is no divine solution to everything. "Ordinary people are exhausted, and the present is a Buddha, so there is no need to ask; It is heresy to seek outside. There is nothing outside the heart, and the heart is the Buddha. A normal mind is a persistent mind: angry, happy, discredited, tempted, greedy, greedy for money, well dressed, well eaten, lazy, ignorant, not going to temples, etc., and even wanting to become a Buddha are all normal minds. If you can forget everything, if everything remains the same, if you don't ask for it, you will see the heart as Buddha. Why do modern people read more and understand less? This is because the roots of modern people are not as good as those of the ancients; Moreover, scholars have not figured out the logic of meditation. Some people wander around and run around, and the result is old. They haven't understood what a woman says, and they don't know what a woman is and how to calculate her words. They stick to words and names all their lives and pay attention to the end of words. " Look who's chanting Buddha. Take care of that woman. It seems that watching and walking back and forth runs counter to the woman's words. Where will you realize this natural inaction? How to get on the throne that all this is unacceptable? Gold chips are in the eyes, but only the eyes are blind. Where will the light be amplified? Poor, poor! Good boy, left his hometown to learn Taoism, volunteered extraordinary, but the result was futile and extremely pitiful. The ancients said, "I would rather not be enlightened for a thousand years." "A day can't be wrong." It is easy and difficult to practice enlightenment, and it is easy and difficult. Just like turning on the electric light, when we meet, it will pop, shine brightly, and the darkness will be eliminated for ten thousand years; If not, the machine is broken, the lights go out, and there will be more trouble. Some people who meditate and don't talk go crazy and vomit blood and get sick. There is no fire, and people and I look at each other deeply. Isn't this a remarkable example? Where is Iraq? As long as you have enough self-confidence, eternal heart and are not careless. The so-called believers, first of all, believe that my heart is originally a Buddha, just like the buddhas of Shifang III. Second, believe in the Buddhism said by Sakyamuni Buddha. Both Buddhism and Buddhism can save life and death and become a Buddha. The so-called eternal heart is to choose a method and do it all your life, even in the afterlife, which is so persistent. Meditators are always so devoted; Buddhists always interpret it this way; Those who hold spells always hold them like this; Those who study teaching always learn by listening, thinking and practicing. What kind of Buddhism to practice is always based on precepts. If you can do this, nothing is impossible in the future. ..... The so-called careless person is to let go of everything. Like a dead man, he rises and falls with the crowd all day long, no longer clings to each other, and becomes an unintentional Taoist. It is enough for beginners to have these three ideas. If you stop to meditate, you will see "Who is chanting Buddha" ... the same. After working hard for a long time, the melon was ripe and the karma came, and it suddenly dawned. At this time, if you drink water, you will know yourself very well until you reach an unquestionable place, such as meeting your relatives in the cross street, and you will be happy. People in the world, from young to old, are inseparable from the words "food, clothing, housing and transportation", which makes people busy to death. Clothes protect you from the wind and rain, and if you eat less, you will be hungry. Without a house to live in, there is nowhere to escape from the wind and rain, so these three words are equally indispensable. Human nature is like this, and so are the other five. Birds and animals, tigers, wolves, snakes and rats, should live in sheds, put on feathers, eat and drink. These three things "food, clothing, housing and transportation" are originally bitter things. Don't let them turn you around for the sake of Buddha. When the Buddha first started teaching, he spent three clothes and a bowl on a monk, ate once a day and lived under a tree for one night. Although it lightens the fatigue of food, clothing, housing and transportation, he still can't live without it. Now that times have changed, Buddha * * * * is as busy with food, clothing, housing and transportation as anyone else in the world. He farmed, transplanted rice and soaked in water all day. If he doesn't soak, he won't get food. No sowing in spring, no seedling harvesting in autumn? It can be seen that a porridge and a meal are not easy. It takes time, effort and effort to gain. For the Buddha * * * *, how can you just hand it over to enjoy it? The ancients said: "If the five views are clear, gold is easy to change, but three hearts are hard to disappear without water." Monks can't be as busy as laymen, just for these three words and for life and death. Because we need to borrow fakes to fix the truth, we should have food, clothing and shelter. But the matter of monasticism is gone for the time being, like a dead man. As the old saying goes, "Those who are good at Taoism should never leave for a moment." Therefore, Taoist priests should not take advantage of the situation. Farming is like farming, turning millet into seedlings, transplanting rice into rice, cutting rice into rice and cooking rice into rice. Buddha nature is like a seed. The nature of all beings is no different from that of Buddha, and the heart is Buddha, so it is called Buddha nature. This kind of seed is far from the rice seedling. Don't think it's too far away to believe that this seed will become rice. To become a Buddha, we must first have confidence, that is, planting seeds in the ground, waiting for them to sprout into seedlings, and weeding after seedlings ... It is equivalent to getting rid of habits and habits, getting rid of secular desires, getting rid of ten entanglements and ten evils, getting rid of all ignorance and troubles, and growing smoothly and even the result. Practice should be used while practicing, and you don't have to sit down and close your eyes to be practice. Among the four powers, three are abstaining from wisdom, and six are collected except greed, ignorance and three poisons. Like herding cattle, you are not allowed to attack young crops. Beauty comes first, and the layman's view is: a flower in front; Zen first son's point of view is that she is the demon who has been enchanted. If the eyes can't be turned by colored dust, the other five can't be turned by dust. The smell is not mouth-watering, and the smell is not disgusting. What eyebrows are long and teeth are short? I don't care about people and me. Then the Maitreya Buddha and Bodhisattva handed down by Master Shi said, "An old buddy like me, wearing a sleeve coat, has a full stomach, so he can make up for it and keep out the cold, and everything will come naturally. Someone called me an old chap, and an old chap like me said yes; Someone hit me, an old guy, and I fell asleep. I spit in my face and let him do it himself. I also saved my strength, and he didn't worry. So paramita is a wonderful treasure. If you know the news, why can't you worry? " Right or wrong, I don't do housework, I don't argue with others, and I don't do good deeds. Jump out of the red fire pit and be a cool man; Realize long physiology, and the sun and the moon are neighbors. This is everywhere, not just on the futon. If there is only the road on the futon, we must answer four slips. "If the shadow passes, let it go." In this world, there are always people who say good things and others who say bad things. If you break this barrier, you won't be in trouble. Said I was so happy that I was deceived by the joy demon. Three good old people; It is my good knowledge that says I am bad. He told me to change what I had learned, stop doing evil and do good. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are inseparable from the Tao; Walking, living, sitting and lying on the road; 80,000 fine lines make no difference. The ancients wasted their time for Tao, sleeping with logs as pillows, fearing that they would miss the Tao for a long time. Say nothing, you should be the winner, and sleeping at night should also be the winner. You should sleep like a bow, bend your body like a bow, use your right hand as a pillow and your left hand as a quilt. This is an auspicious lie. Get up as soon as you wake up and study hard. Don't toss and turn, daydream or even wander. Everyone has delusions, even chanting Buddha is delusions; In addition to delusion, we should also do magic to cut, Buddha to cut. This is down-to-earth, not afraid of not remembering, but afraid of being late. If you work so hard, you will naturally become proficient after a long time. Busy, right and wrong, movement, crossing the street, all good meditation. Don't just be busy transplanting rice seedlings, it's important to put practice aside.
