Master Miao Xiang turn discovery (through the line) (2)

 We talk about the fourth sentence the following: Hands down, is the hands droop. We all know that everyone has two hands, the hands of us, it can work, can work ... ... and so do things by hand. So in terms of life in our hands is so important. We were born to hold two fists at birth. For what? Because he wanted to seize what he can not let go of life, it also represents our hands fit. We continue to pursue his hand, has always been that the hand can do many things, many things can be done to achieve our purpose required. He did not know the formation of the two hands, born also represents our dedication, on behalf of our lust. So with two hands, it also impaired our way.

How do we cultivate it? To put both hands open, down. From childhood to old age that we are tightly holding hands, but also to seize life, grab the money, focus on the house, arrested her husband, grasping woman, grasping all the food ... ... we should pay attention, have become their own. So we want to cultivate, we should do the opposite, is to open the handle, do not open anything after it, and the hands hanging down, completely down. Because not only is the false pursuit of life, and to include the existence of our hands, but also false. Do not cling our two hands, it should be through the hands down, to being indifferent to life. Because we know that life is false, including mountains and rivers we have seen all the earth, moon and stars, all just a fantasy among people, there is nothing to pursue, may be able to pursue to, it is only a a dream. Although we do not wake up from a dream, but we should do wake up efforts. So we should be clenched, fist opening this attachment, to hang to.

the fist down, there is another benefit from the health is concerned, it Firelight to decline. We have many dedicated people who continue to temper large, but Firelight up, and sometimes be more paranoid. If you put both hands, saying put this down to the kidneys Firelight, called both fire and water economy can be strong body, which is good. So in his hands through the line, we can put down, this is very good.

however, You Liangshou down, it was not. For example, the Buddha, he did the fingerprints, so way street is also possible. I used to in the Wutai Mountains, I heard such a thing, that period in my dining hall, I heard came a monk in Vietnam, he spoke: His moves, that is the hand for fingerprints, as we usually like to go pray to Buddha. But he is not Buddha, his moves is to say:

Later, he brought three books, or the two books is the book Zhaozhou monk, because monks are OK Zhaozhou feet, through the line, often through the line. Just within the hall that I have a disciple was there, he gave him his book. The book gave him, and he just will through the line.

time I heard someone say that mainland China, the monks will not be through the line, I am angry, I said: called the Vietnamese monk knows, the Chinese, the Chinese monk, Buddhist China, all through the line and the line very own characteristics.

why we say Including our bodily sensations, cold, heat must be put down, and even starvation also down. But also Less swing, the swing more, that our hearts are busy in the chaos. You see, careful observation, people in mind a hectic time, walking is also urgent, but also the chaos, especially hand back and forth disappear just as quickly. He is constantly in pursuit of the whole body is being affected by the delusion of our hearts, the performance of such acts arising. So we are hanging by the arms, hands open, less swing to being indifferent to life, not the pursuit of a life is nothing to pursue.

because we want to know what it is? Life is not having children, nor is it a family, not start their families, eat and sleep, this is not called life. So what is life? Life is the process of practice! People come into this world, no matter from hell, hungry ghosts, animals, or heaven, came to this world, the purpose is an effort in this world comes through their achievements. This is what we practice, that is our life. We come to this world, people have forgotten his own practice tasks, and obsessed with the five desires of all the world the joy, the pursuit should not be sought, and the trash as treasure, people gradually lost, so that have a family, parenthood, etc. thing. It does not recognize life, the life to the wrong.

many of us want a good, want to practice this world, but because we did not control his eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind to own their own fool you. End of the day, a few years off, wasted, people have to die, and continue to cycle, so no real meaning, all day long to eat, to wear, sleep for a minute feel. So we wasted life.

According to Buddhist scriptures say that this Saha world, the Earth, when humans first began, people came from the days of optical sound. Heaven light tone days later flew to the world to see on this earth have a lot to fat, he continued to eat. To eat fat, eating the ground of things, it can not soar, so that he can not do without the earth, and the earth produced a fate, and this is the beginning of mankind.

So this is not monkeys to humans, is from the various planets come into the world, only human. Were gradually forgotten, gradually degenerate, long live the last of eight hundred years we are now down to seven, eighty years old. Other more then life will be reduced more, until the life is only ten years old, horses such as the elbow, people such as boxing, there is only so high! People live to ten years old, began to reflect on, everyone wants to cultivate the. Because at that time were killing vegetation, took a straw man to be killed, is full of weapons, live more painful. Finally, people began to think of good, then gradually increase the age has been increased to eight live for ever. At this time, there will be Buddhas to sentient beings.

this, we know that life itself is a fantasy, there is nothing to pursue. In our practice in more of life should be bearish. Particular way street, if we are one in the snow, hands down, ah! Slowly through the line, very good feeling, very comfortable, felt very clean, also felt no real meaning in life. Or rainy days, in rainy weather kept walking, is very clean, very clean, life is too light. This is the Buddha-way street, the Bodhisattva will be the ten remarkable.

just Buddhist devotees in the past, I have a job in the IRD former comrades, it is also a friend, deliberately gave me a pot. Although I was the beginning of Buddhist devotees, but others I have decided not to accept anything, I'm ready to get back. Then go in the snow, under a light snow, with small pot in one hand, a hand with the shopping bag, shopping bag was inside the classics, as well as lunch boxes. This is because a vegetarian lunch box, then where is not vegetarian, cooking myself with lunch boxes, myself cooking, hot water is a hot meal. So walking in the snow, not eager for other people's things, but regardless of all aspects of their own, have maintained a very clean. The lines on the road constantly, really do not have a sense of humor, ah! Life is very flat light.

once, may be this time, and I kinda do not remember clearly now. Is running during that time may be New Year approached. Chinese New Year are very busy world, people, cars, bicycles, motorcycles continue to run around. At that time very few people walking on the streets, and I slowly move forward step by step walk. When we arrived at a place, a man suddenly appeared, his bare feet, wearing slippers,'re not too high, it may be fifty years old, ran in front of me. Ah! He does not speak to thumbs to praise me, meaning:

when he did not speak for me, did not go take a look at him, and I did not stop, I do not care for him, I continued to go. He looked at me go, I go along with the constantly reach out to praise, I do not care for him. I thought: whether you are a Buddha, if you are magic, if you are Buddhist, but for me you will not reason, because I'm through the line. When he reached three when the thumb to see if I ignore him, he turned and stood by the road, back at me, no attention to me. Your attention to me, I was so; you ignore me, I like, I'll continue to go forward. I'm sorry, but there is a human heart is feeling. But also know, should do it, just practice this is only the beginning.

Later, once I asked an old master. I asked him: The run incense, normal people do not understand the beginning of Buddhist devotees, the old monk made a run for my incense action will look like show me. When he made such a demonstration of action, I suddenly think of a thing I just talked about that person, and praised me, he was in a way every day, every day is so like his walk, trot is, ah, and That run is exactly the same position incense. Ah! I, too, that the original thumbs of people is an old practice, he does not speak, may be mute. So everywhere in this world is full of devotees, but we do not know.

Later, my practice is to prepare the the mountain. Preparation has been done, but not completely uphill. Once at the station, I met the man of practice. I think that a bit too much for him to take the initiative to say hello to him. He saw me, as if understanding, I am gone, he immediately turned his face over. I was in the past, but also praised his thumbs, he is very happy. Then he put his hand gestures look ah, that is, the expression of meaning open palm hand draw me, I do not understand what that means. He repeatedly struck a few times,Bailey UGG boots, out of the four fingers, and later under the plan to the two fingers, I do not know. After a long wait time, in the convent, we are just four of the mountains, then walk for two people halfway,UGG boots clearance, ah, this, and what he said was appropriate. It turned out he indicates that: a mountain is four, and finally had to down two people. This is a bit mean, ah, of course, I may have a guess.

As this will increase our powers of concentration to go up very dignified manner.

in the Wutai Mountains, I saw such kind of a practitioner, his bare feet, wearing a pair of shoes. It boots not heels, bare feet wearing the shoes he might be wearing this winter shoes. Also the two walked hand down, like a fool, ah! Blankly for a fool, but is by the side of the aisle, head down, slowly walking, and the world missed the chance of giving a feeling, a very dignified manner. Wutai Mountain in the past a man named I am not quite clear.

this person, and sometimes the dining hall live, he would help out, helping to take things more. Law Council of days he went, and help out, finished, he ate food that also went away. See who he is this way, when you go over, on the opposite side, he does not care about you, so you walk, he bowed together in prayer behind at you.

Indifferent to the extreme to the heart and the corresponding of the Buddha. So we do not have a fantasy and the pursuit of life, we have pursued have a pain. We want the cycle of life and death, want to get rid of the pain, first of all we will not pursue, do not attachments, to their complete release. Because as long as you put down, put down your dedication, put down your lust, or even let go of your death, you live a happier life. Sometimes we can not let go myself, and when we have the wrong time, is unwilling to admit mistakes, fear of criticism, fear of losing face, fear can not be respected by everyone, so that we cultivate are obstacles. So we should be completely down. Completely down, to being indifferent to life.

fifth sentence,

Because Dongzuoguotai affect heart. So the Because our hearts, is a delusion of the heart, it keeps reading from the heart, he will hurry the offal. If we control the speed of scraps, and its strength, can also reduce our heart. Should be gently falling, such as riding the same cotton. If the feet soft, soft, and mind naturally softened.

In addition, we have a process of slowly settled, and some creatures can escape from the foot. In particular, we walk in the mountain, there are many small creatures, from the foot to escape. However, because we urgently scraps, it is difficult to escape. For instance, small grasshoppers, grasshopper you do not see the road, when your feet on the ground about the time that grasshoppers may be about to drill into your feet. Although the traction is a karma, too, that deep in our karma. We should slowly feet underground, if they got into the soles of the feet of a living beings, we can recover in time to his feet, to let go of it. As we are concerned, the foot should have mercy, should have such compassion. Let the spirits also have the opportunity to escape from the foot, so it was very good.

so that this mercy is so important for us. Because the Buddha is no chance Daci, with great compassion. We want to study Buddhism, we must have compassion. Only to learn compassion and the Buddha accordingly.

example, we are walking, walking on a bridge, this bridge is very dangerous, above all beings, you do not step foot? If you stepped on the living beings, you may in the past the bridge; If you do not step on the living beings, you may fall into the bridge, may also fall injury, may also be dead. In this process, watch your feet will fall, and suddenly found a foot beings, if you do not step on to choose death. In the face of life and death, living and dead in front of the public, an attitude which we should take to determine their own life? Over the past ah, I had this thought, I said: If it is a single-plank bridge, on top of the living beings, if not stepped on, dropped dead opinions, then I choose to die. Regardless of the living beings is a bug, or a ants. We must not have any injury of the heart, our feet will be mercy. If you choose is your own survival, you will not be at the foot of mercy, the foot will not give birth to compassion. So cultivate compassion of our feet, a good opportunity. We as Buddhists, we should let others live well, so that all living beings go marching themselves, not marching all living beings in our walk.

During my retreat in Benxi Maopeng, there was such an example. One day, is meditation, suddenly heard a voice shouting for help. The life-saving sounds like a little girl, not like a human, but can hear the voice calling for help. Because the house is a small retreat, the look, do not have anyone. Was like, ah, this is who is speaking it, in the help it? It would seem like out in the well. Then I opened my eyes to look around. Look at the ground after a wash basin, basin covered with Gail, the one Gail lo open later, which fell into a small crickets, ah! Small crickets. The crickets out to let go, ah, the original is that it cries for help.

it may be six months or one year elapsed time, I can not remember, but also in the summer, when the morning meditation. Suddenly see the kang edge below the ground there is a small crickets, small, smaller than the original many times that the cricket, it is constantly circling the earth. Way street and I was like, ah! Is right around. I was very interested, I said: it lines the line is also Well than I am. I have his hand down, hey, call it mean jump in my hands, my hands on it really to, ah, on my hands. I was in his hands, did not expect it to continue so through the line, lap to go, it was long legs, its body also has a large grain of rice so much, very, very small. Very good very good walk, and take so long. Then I put it on the brick bed, because I would like to meditate.

wait until after noon, too fast, and run fast later. I am very happy little cricket, I say: Oh, stay inside more uncomfortable, ah, I take you out of a trip. I can just go to the bathroom, I went out holding hands. It did not jump in my hand not jump. A few minutes later to go out also, it suddenly jump from the handheld look underground. I think it'll run, I think it ran and ran it, give it free. But it does not move, then I picked it up and found that it is the sun tan has to die. Because the crickets can not see the sun, strong light will hurt it. Cool place came alive again this time, hey, it did not Huanguo Lai in the evening and later died. It does three converts. Whether it is cricket that is not the original save, I do not know. But living beings are way street, and also carrying out by the line. So is all of us have a compassionate heart, the same beings will tell you in school through the line.

beings. We all know that the Buddha's feet is not Mai Tai's, not dirty. And his place through the line, pests are not damaged, because the card to the first fruits of Arhat, walking, the foot will be three inches off the ground, it will not harm living beings. Although we do not permit road and walk it should not hurt living beings.

also recorded by: used to have a heretic, false monk in Buddhism, Buddha, looking for the fault to be defamatory. After a day by the line with the Buddha, kill the insects themselves in advance, and then on foot through the place the Buddha, the Buddha to be trampled to death outside threatened. This is not pregnant with his kind. But incredibly, he will kill the flies, as long as the place where the Buddha had the line, dead insects turn into living insects, so I can not slander the Buddha. And So it is Most Excellent by the line's. Buddha walked the place, have become the place beings survive, and heretics to defamation is not possible.

so we should study Buddhism, after row, walk, must offal such as cotton clouds, such as riding on cotton, and if riding in the clouds. In this way, so as not to cause death beings the opportunity to repair the same time, our compassion. Can reduce our delusion, it is a way of Most Excellent.

about the sixth sentence the following

offal began to walk out, but the speed of walking, it was like a whirlwind, such impatience in his heart. Why should This is not a dogma. Some people may also be a period of just-way street,UGG shoes, and very slow, but the walk and stop, stop for a while and started to walk. He has a such a person does not fit in regardless of what the old heart, heart is small, it is easy with the phase. So do not delay this slowly, ah, is a brave spirit. Although it is slow, because our hearts indifferent to the life, there is no pursuit. Because there is no pursuit, we do not stay down. Slowly move forward, indifferent to life, but also a non-me. Because without me, there is no pursuit of him, only diligence and effort. But the effort is the moral line, not today, tomorrow will not repair repair. Especially hard today, today revised ten hours sleep tomorrow, is not the case. There should be eight or ten years, the Millennium years, this life the next life, always constant efforts to long-term heart.

slowly go a dignified manner. We know that Southern Buddhism, he wears are not deduction, is to use the cloth and a cloth twisted into each other cord. Also wear the skirt, you want to go fast too fast can not, are under control and does not allow the kind of fast forward. So it is important that slowly, running is not allowed. Was slowly away, eyes down, hands down, few swing, so we very dignified manner. If there is danger, we should like to go, so we usually go fine. With this we take the risk, so it is in our hearts not move into, which is moving in the static demand. Seeking quiet

action, which also have to have guidance. In particular the special circumstances, such as a rainy day. Some people saw the rain, hurried to the shelter to go to the house, he called the rain turn; some see the food, ah! Hurried into the house to try to steal the rice, which is the food of the turn. In particular, more people turn to be the food, especially the collective life, some people saw the dinner, and immediately grab the best location, reach for food to devour. The rice has not even sent to port ah, ah! Zhang very big mouth. These are greedy performance. No matter what our circumstances, should be in no hurry. When we should be able to breeze blowing as the same, slowly does not stagnate. Why not delay it to slowly? Because we both do not stop, do not fast. Does not allow a complete stop, stop also the disease, hastily taking of sick, we ask for is the moral. Because life is, ah, there is nothing to pursue, there is nothing to nostalgia. So we no longer lives in the bustling, should be to repair the heart, seek Supreme Road in the effort.

the past, Mount Wutai, when way street, get up every day and more then one o'clock, because I vow to the dining hall, going to cook. Go, to go through a road. This road is a small alley, just lying in the middle, both sides of the high water every day. Ah-way street because then there is a requirement, not allowed to choose the road, where are counted where. After the water went marching to the dining hall, they began to wash rice, wash rice time for the water, the two were under water. Days and cold, the night when the rest of the mattress has no electricity, no heated kang. And the bed is shorter, have exposed legs. Therefore, the feet are wet almost every day. But every day in this case, the shoes are wet, wet socks are also not allowed to take off socks, the monks do not undress to sleep, it is not off the socks. So are all wet.

rest, until a little over a minute and up, then walked the road, or there is water, water every day have to go marching. Can not stay, can not hurry up, hurry past, not allowed, have to go slowly. On both sides of it, there are distributors, but also see a little half-step can be taken to the next can be found in dry pavement, but also does not allow to find dry road. So, track, and must exercise their own in the difficult, not separately. While eating a little bitterness, but also exercise themselves. Cook porridge every day, it is very fragrant, very little of this feeling.

one time there was a teacher told me: standard, that He said: To left a bowl, ah! This means it will be barely it. This is my next task hundred come to eat, how can we grasp the point of this gruel is not left yet. Porridge the next day, when I put this thing to forget, I do not think it, rice is also under the pot, and quickly do a good job, only to think of it, alas! He told me not to left that I may be a little rice has not decreased, and the water so much. In fact I was very confused, when the old brain hard, think the problem is very simple, light that Yijiaofengxing, walk this way every day.

strange is that when the time runs out fast, this porridge, from all the six or seven porridge pots are brushed together, along with leftover porridge base will add a half bowl of porridge, and finally to complete the task. Rice and water that it actually did not, therefore, I say this by the line ah is incredible.

ago, I was in one place, in the school by the line when he met a puddle. The puddles have a long distance, is not just that emerged after the rain puddles. Is very hot days, basking in that puddle there. Is a puddle at the road well, too much water formation. That there may be a glass Chazi, debris, and urine, and what may have. Just the way street, when through the line every day, often run this place. Both sides of bricks, you can step on bricks in the past, but the same can not be selected by the line, and where they should go where and counted. When this pin to the surface of the water to go, he himself was thinking well, renowned for the water to go inside, step inside, tread done with them. When the foot to touch the surface of the water at a time, it will automatically turn the legs, auto Shui, you want to call it go down, it does not go, it does not listen to your beck and call. This I have never been found, originally I thought I could command my all, in fact, I can not command. I can command even a foot can not. That it will not listen to you handle the foot, which have to stop, but to turn and just do not go inside. When marching another road, and my heart rose a special pain.

how to do later? Feet must be into it, hard-stretched. You do not go, do not go down, I will not go, of us not to non-confrontational. Finally, I gave into it, hard feet, and reached into the first leg, second leg also do not want to go. That does not work, they have to go. Go in, it wants to go out soon, it does not work, have to go slowly, slowly away and will not allow you to stay. So, when the feet are entering the water when the heart there is a pain, very reluctantly, reluctantly have to continue to walk, shoes constantly filled with dirty water. Then move forward, there might be danger, fall into a pit, there may be a class of iron or glass Chazi, the feet scratch, and even some very Mai Tai into the urine go, that would have to endure. The process of this track, persevered. Wait to the end destination, my heart can give birth to a victory over gently their feelings over a foot. It seems their dedication, not only in the eyes, hands, feet, had a great dedication. So we are life and death, everywhere, on all parts of our performance.

this behavior, others do not seem willing to do what a fool than a fool is also silly. But as a practitioner, such a walk, is significant, it can be indifferent to life. So that we can understand where their significant, but also he found the method of governance. As we destroy the enemy, like where you do not find the enemy, how can we eliminate? You do not know where your focus, how symptomatic treatment? Therefore, we should find the root cause of his death, we can take on governance. When this came later, will be very pure. And this go, whether it is the dog days, three nine days are the same, were not allowed.

Similarly, we know, often through the line, will bring you a clean, you take this trip, which is the Buddha of the shine. The degree to get the opportunity to bring all sentient beings, so we should have often been the line. After the ceremony of the line is not anything else, is our heart, we should use a variety of ways to take Buddha Ye Hao, mantras Ye Hao, to yield our delusion, which is supposed to do.



in 2095, then go back from Mount Wutai. Liaoning Panjin we went, there was a reed marshes, as well as oil, plus twenty years with no signs of human habitation in the place, light a few wells team. Because at that time to go, but also begging the noon of life, because it can not be eating after noon, is one meal a day. The twenty years the land was carrying a very heavy burden, to be completed in the morning, when the weather is cold. Then the two of us walked,UGG boots cheap, can not have water to drink, but to keep away.

in the twenty years since our goal is to outside, very far away. When we arrived at this distance of time, this day may be the north wind, ah, or what the wind, I am not sure. But on the wind, and went to reed marshes, towards the middle of it, the wind increasing. Finally, grab me, although that carries the package, it pushed me to go. Blow me up, feet off the ground moving. So by the wind, continue to go out of the no man's land. Japan and China before, just to the new piece of farm children, a village, put down packages, drive times are children begging. Will beg for a meal, eat a fed. It seems that sometimes the breeze will become the north, pushing you away, it makes sense.

Cubao Therefore, it is bent away from the clutter. This is the Very calm, give the first step foot, view to the line should be, that should not be looked up, it should be down the line. View down to the line, that is, we do not Dawang Xiang, not on the ground to find our shelter, but no difference. In order to avoid chaos while the heart, it's also maintenance beings, the two had to do it, can not say that I do not choose to can easily step on living beings, this does not work, you must love all beings.

or 2095, go back, when he can go to Beijing, a man named Shidu place. That place there is water, and many of the creatures to the washed ashore, ashore to climb, in the streets. And people, cars keep on that walk, crushing the bodies of living beings as a mountain, then want to go to landfill, to the ambulance can not do, can only read them died cursing. Because this shidu long way, about half a day to go, no way, we can not go to landfill, because too much, and finally died Mantra read and remembered and remembered, died curse, and finally do not read. As long as a look to the living beings, and that he himself read Mantra died. So, it saved a lot of trouble. In order to protect all living creatures, we should be dedicated.

we talk about the seventh following sentence, Settled must be firm, do not swing. Although we said that they would walk, actually really concerned, our feet sometimes still unstable. Feet should be stable and should be firm. But also to stability, do not swing, but nothing Guaai, while not because of obstacles such as rocks and transfer of experience. Sometimes encountered small stones how to do, go to your foot to foot, the foot is Luo Ye Hao, is kicked a stone or whatever, should not be avoided.

because a person's toes, on behalf of the heart peace unevenly. If the feet Alice, this mind is not flat, if the heart of injustice, he will be a lot of pain. Wutai Temple in general, I met a master, he is also learn-way street, but he learned of the roadway, walk is stopped. When stopped, each time to go, I found his feet to bend. Later, I told him a bit, I said: Then is where to go, are suffering, and finally even a temple is very difficult to live down. This is because his heart wanted to practice, but also his strong attachment, can not let go. And hey, wisdom and few, so that although to practice, too, to the heart level, not to have any of their own plans. So here comes not Alice, fair to have flat feet.

We know that in the past have Jinshan Living Buddha, Living Buddha Jinshan has commented that Hong. Someone asked: Hong is not a good thing. To explain uneven legs, the end result is not good.

Why do we walk sometimes uneven feet? With the dedication of our heart and slow heart. We know that we walk sometimes, it is easy to stumble or hurt, and so, this one is killing industry, heavy, slow addition is our heart. What is our slow heart?
