Can not Compare Devil with Buddha.

In the Ming Dynasty (1535-1615), after his ordination, he went around to find a teacher. After entering the capital, he came to worship the two great senior virtue in Zen Buddhism is the Burning and Tiem Nham. After being instructed by the two monks, Master Danyou went to Dongguan and when he heard the drum, he suddenly became enlightened. There he made the poem:

Two years of suspicion money, 
Tam natural foreign curious! 
Fragment of the soul as a dream, 
Ma Buddha does not compete with the data.

Mean:

Suspected from twenty years ago 
Strange instead of enlightenment thousands of miles away! 
Burning incense like in the dream 
Ma, Buddha, right, left: uphill battle.

Whether we are reading the Sutra or watching the Suttas, we also have to use the mind to distinguish the left. The dark side is that we use mind, mind and consciousness to speculate. Because mind, mind, and consciousness are just for lying. These three things have great charm, making people can not distinguish the right, the truth is not transparent, black and white confused into unclear chaos. There are some arguments, new sounds seem to have moral, but the mind is just looking at is not true, and no-minded people are fooled and listen in a pleasant way. There are others, like the blind who lead the blind, not because of intent, but because they themselves do not understand. So they pushed others off the turn, in the end not to the good.

So we should not downplay our opinion. If on a fundamental problem we justify, then it would be as if saying, "Wrong one dime is a different one," even making the world fall into the dark. , not light. Therefore, on the principle of reasoning, we must have a clear, accurate understanding. If we just rely on the mind, the mind, the speculation, then crank out and arbitrarily arbitrarily rejecting the Buddha, to join the devil, is impossible.

As we talk about ghosts and Buddhas, we should not run into irrational arguments. For example, there are some people who say:  "Ma, Buddha as one, two but not two." But Buddhists can not be like the devil; If you do not need to believe in the Buddha, then believe in the devil's extravagant words too! Someone said:  "Ma is the reverse side of good knowledge comes to help us." It is said about the ambition of compassion, also a way to comfort the self, using psychology to deceive children is not to say it is not angry. The way to say that is still to neutralize the division and resentment inside, because do not want to see the devil as enemy. To say the evil side of the devil is to help people, but it swallows people, or puts people to death, so called "help"?

Therefore we need to keep the basic stance, every moment of mindfulness. When we are born greed, or greed, charisma, greed, efficiency, fast, the ghost, then invaders that enter. There are some very smart people, but why are they sometimes devoted to demons? It is because of the basic principles, they do not have clear perception. If they understand the basics clearly, the spell of ghost is also not practical. We do not need to mantra, but just  do not fight, no greed, no demand, no selfish, no self-interest, no hope  is the ghost will not have any way to enter.

After many years of studying the Buddha, I concluded that this "Great Pyramid" is the most useful. The Dharma is not a high-pitched discussion, vast or magical talk, strange. It is not even guessing about graffiti, or fortune-telling, bad luck. The world does not know how many people know prophecy prophecy like that. But that is the trick of the Wanderers like to talk about spiritual powers, use the words wild monster to fascinate people. That is they are selling high-stick drugs. And it is true that those people can know the future. As they say to you, "I know someone will come to visit you tomorrow, and that person will say to you like this ..." Or like, "What did you do before? They know well ... "But they all have a place to fail is not to stop lewd, or bowing, or sharp. That is the realm of ghosts. If anyone have heart, greed, pray for the benefit, or propagate to personalize oneself so that other people devote themselves, but selfish self interest and not say the truth  then we should know that he is in the realm of ghosts.

On the occasion of Grand Master's involvement with the two teachers, Master and Venerable, the two teachers advised that: "The monk who is religious is due to birth and death. Do not let the  fame  do the affair! "At that time in the colon also some people study, but few people notice this statement. Only Master Dai Lien is profound understanding of the deep meaning that mind full of inspiration. So when leaving the teacher to Dong Xuong, suddenly suddenly master enlightenment to do the article. In fact, these four verses are secondary. And the most important word is  not seeking fame, and that is the key to this story.

Do not think that Grand Master went to Dongguan to be enlightened. But from the beginning, Grand Master step by step, step by step on the path of enlightenment. At the moment stood in front of the two teachers and the Respondent, and they were shouting for a loud voice in the head that promptly Grand Master enlightened immediately. "After the ordination, do  not be enchanted " - that is the most effective mantra, can win all the demigods. Let's look at the text of the verse as follows:

Suspected from twenty years ago.  The birth of this great cause has been confused Confucius or long ago. Because not understand, the Grand Master must consult, ask for wisdom, solve problems with suspicion.

Strange change in the thousands of miles.  Over three thousand miles, then Grand Master to Dongguan suddenly suddenly enlightened. This is so wonderful! The attachment of the Master suddenly dissipated!

Incense scent throws like a dream.  Lightning incense Buddha is good, also throwing a gun, fighting with the army is bad. "Attack" can also be throwing weapons, ie no fighting anymore. All that is like a dream! Why is it like a dream? Because I do not understand thoroughly.

Ma, Buddha, right: miss the war.  Now Master has understood. In the past, because the master used to work in the city, so they are not worth the effort! Master also  did not say: Buddha and ghost as a. That is the ghost, the Buddha is the Buddha. Both sides have no relationship with each other, there is no market, what is worth arguing? Discussions must be left before is all false, not true.

If you want to dress up ghosts, you have to have a little elaborate, not just say the meditation in the mouth that can do.

Another way to say is:  "No matter the Buddha, no Buddha, no ghost,  no Buddha, no Buddha is not revealed. Ma and Buddha are also relative to each other, not when the Buddha enlightened then the ghost and the Buddha is the most like, is one. After the Buddha enlightened then the Buddha, as well as before, except - Buddha does not have hateful thoughts. See all beings are equal and ghost is also an element in beings, so the Buddha see ghost is peer. But whether the Buddha is equal or not? Absolutely not! Because ghosts always want to overthrow the Buddha.

Over twenty years later, Master Lien Tri new understanding of the doctrine of  non-competition . The enlightened monk said that he had only argued beforehand in the face, in the futile way. At that time, the Master did not reflect and did not clean up his self-nature, so everyone is the Great Master negativity.

I say the moral is simple, hopefully you think back carefully. Because in principle, we must not make mistakes. You are young, and you should not arbitrarily say, "Ma and Buddha as one." Perhaps the great master, then enlightened, can say so, because the realm of their understanding is not the same. with you. But we are still children, so not to be lied to the old man's doctrine, and then misleading the argument. For example, children who do not know how to drive, which you let it drive, are very likely to cause an accident, so that the loss of life is different.

There are some people who heard that "Ma Buddha As" thought that: "Then I bow to Buddha to do? Is not it a Buddhist career as well? "So on the principle of distinction, we have to understand clearly, do not listen in such a way, then hurriedly said fish eyes are nuts.
