SUTRA SAMYUKTAGAMA 17: uprooted and let go 

 

There are a number of Buddha made and calls it brief teachings, to teach some of the monks when gentlemen prospectus that advanced age, now needs a brief Dhamma teaching to retire to a convent forest corner emergency operator.

Bahiya including Beijing, says that "in seeing just what is that in hearing just what is heard ..." This French in Vietnam's poetic meditation, forget all the legal and can only see the top of a letter " As"…

Or, as biblical Khemaka, Buddha taught the Diamond Sutra is identical "very satisfied cylinder head ... not anywhere meditation on ..."
Or as Beijing Kalaka Sutta, taught not realize that building up, and the Buddha said that it was legal to teach about "as" the supreme, not the higher law.
Or as Beijing Cetana Sutta, not formulated concepts taught.

Today, this article will examine the teachings: be uprooted and let go of all the legal form, feeling, perception, and consciousness - that is just uprooted and let go of the whole world in and out of that we identify and reach. But do not think this is a form of nihilism, an insight that the Buddha himself rejected. and because the word uttered by the Buddha not completely separated from the poles with and without.

Similarly, in the short concise examined above, does not mean the elimination of knowledge or abolish the idea, simply live with the concept of mind has not started, when knowledge is not built up, when not find an approach to office or facility-cylindrical wheel. Zen said the old style, just listen to hear, to see just seen, that is what mind? Or just careless? Or primitive mind? What say do not hit, because many texts with multiple approaches, we see the exact language is not mentioned. Know, great supreme Buddha, wonderful rare.

Beijing is about to say this place is probably the monks have taught many years studying the faith, because the lily world is inevitable path to liberation. In traditional, heart meditation is to photography, to photography and to the protection concept units - but in this business, not taught photography interest, not teach photography concept, not teach protection of the base, simply teach is to ponder Original and let go of all [all appearances of body and mind], and this is the Buddha Dhamma clear brief.

It should be noted that, while the patriarchs Zen teaching law let out (koan: Depending tha past) still alert but do not think that letting go is not, seeing that do not think that there ...
In the book "The Zen Treasures" by Thich Van Thu, a Vietnamese translation of translators Dinh Hue, where "Chapter 6: Schools need to recognize religion as they really are" marked to let go of all the legal teachings, from Zen Master Spread Bare:

"The front end of his grace, turn off all the, all the good and evil approach, the earth and the Earth, can not remember, do not have to think, let go of it himself in body and mind, the mind as no longer distinguish rock wood, not raising interest concept, empty land not mind the sun is wisdom itself. Just finish all the charm phan greed, charity competition, the structure of net mortgage is cleared, for sensual pleasures, such style bowl, not least is seeing, hearing, or, said constraints, such was the love scene natural correctly, fully divine power, which was the liberation ... "(1)

In "Tham Thien Universal Theory" Fruit Chan Master Lai, the Vietnamese translation of Thich Duy Luc, where "Chapter 10. Luc Based Hard Photography" has written about the teachings let go see hear or know, quote :

"SCHEDULE apartment is only for the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind. The scope of the above bases whatever extent this body photography reproduced speech? He wanted to photography, I wanted to let go. Wherefore? As regent to keep it that great harm. Not by letting the minister saw the show, heard then letting the hearing, as well as how the other four apartments. The practices found firstly forget forget heard, followed by pure body and mind, not the senses, is let go green earth, that continent which also stops formula. People often find themselves head-first Vihàra, stiff as tree limbs dry, go as wood, sits as his address, but not this good, but compared to who is better than all dissolute times. Thus, nothing is just not glancing at his eyes closed, but inside are active, whenever you happened to look closely the minister was dragged; though not listening ear, everyone started immediately blew the sound recording equipment. Such practices would you think that photography is the base.

 How true photographic eg: A room with six windows around, lit a lamp in the projector light from six gates out. Want to abolish a door, use canvas covered itself surely a dark door. Cloth cover for example not to keep the eyes look outside. Want to abolish the second door, and cloth cover, cloth cover that is keeping the external ear for listening. Four other doors, too. Such behavior is temporary regent shall be, but is not well-cut (cutting enlightenment). Zen way of six without closing the window, first remove the lamp in the middle of the room, next to where all the rooms up, not only drag, not the ceiling itself, the continent itself also shuns official. Actually, no need to switch off lights and dashed rooms themselves. Try asking: "Huli jing (conscious distinction) marks this space where the body again?". So the direction of the first Zen restaurant doubt use the mind, beyond the mind forget it in all forgotten, but not self-closing shut, no photography, but photography itself, it's not true huh ...

"It would be well if the Blessed One would teach me the essentials of the Dharma in brief. On having Heard the Dharma I shall only alone in a quiet place and reflect on it with energy. Being established in it without negligence I shall only reflect hothouse for có sake a clansman's son goes forth, shaving off beard and hair and putting Dharma robes on the body, out of faith going forth from the home to homelessness for the unsurpassed supreme holy life, here and now realizing that 'birth for me bị eradicated, the holy life bị established, what Had to be done bị done, I myself know có there Will be Receiving of Further Existence no.' "
