Pleased that so many young people to participate in study Buddhism. ashamed that my school repair micro-light, in the learning process, deeply profound Dharma, the majority of successful, such a good one yourself Buddhism alone is not enough to understand. Although my learning is also very limited, but I have to see to Buddhism on the important role of social life, so that we can work together to learn the cause is Most Excellent, I hope we cherish.
Meditation Class begins today The first lecture in Yongjia, Yongjia Zen mm overview of four I parts to describe the general situation of Yongjia Zen:
First, Yongjia, Yongjia Zen master's life
master is named Yongjia, Yongjia Master Who are you? He is our ancestors Wenzhou. in accordance with the Biographies of Eminent Monks, record is not very detailed information can now be found only outline the basic outline of his life, some of the details almost no records. Fortunately, two of his complete works preserved. So although no other details on historical data, but two books, we can see the master extraordinary in Yongjia. From the information available to see, when Yang Yi as he wrote this little biography of the emperor gave him no phase of this posthumous master. there are so many monks, received the posthumous title of Emperor is not much to say, only his reputation and status has been recognized up and down the court will afford them. so when the ruling and opposition from top to bottom, he is a very respected big Germany is very far-reaching impact.
Here, we briefly introduce Master Yongjia. He monk since childhood, life, life is not very long, less than fifty years passed away, it can be considered premature death. But His achievement is very high. Longxing his early monastery in the Western Hills.
Western Hills, about the position is that we now learn Jingshan Gokokuji this area. Longxing now can not find the site. According to Chen Jinwu An article written by Mr. There is a speculation: Jingshan Park is now a piece of land that is most suited to build the temple, is that we now Gokokuji. because, like the lotus bud around the temple, except this place, there is no other more suitable place to build the temple. so he speculated was the master of Yongjia this place may become a monk in Gokokuji. If this speculation be confirmed, I feel very good. because Gokokuji the Chung-hing, so we have the opportunity to gather in the year Yongjia Zen Buddhist monk place to study Yongjia, Yongjia master of light which is shining us. Some time ago, Zhejiang Province, China were commissioned to prepare the publication of a I came to this part of the proof, which spoke of the range. it is also the last Western Hills Jingshan Jingshan only this place is built above the temple. so to infer from the circumstantial aspects, but also can see a grain of truth.
Yongjia Zen monk after the Longxing, France called Xuanjue. Then he called him after a real consciousness is true sleep. hostel feel another one of his name after his enlightenment to prove to the Sixth Patriarch, where the master was confirmed after the Sixth Patriarch spent the night there, so they are called night vision.
special master after learning Tendai monk, beginning early into China is to learn meditation.
Jin early Chinese Zen is introduced to China before, such as the Han Dynasty, and three times passed over the meditation, mainly refers to An Shigao, Lou Jia Chen, Zhi Qian and others to spread. Some of these people passed in meditation is very simple, such as the six Lotus doors, there are some simple sit-ins, called the Zen school numbers. Zen, the full name is you calm down, feeling he was no longer cranky, this time to consider the issue again, may all consider the point. Because the ancients of these methods are very interested in, so the formation of many schools of meditation.
to China before Bodhidharma , at least six or eight of the Zen path to enlightenment, is the number of the Zen school. Kumarajiva came to China to translate the classic Wisdom, The study produced a shock. from a cultural sense, the Zen school numbers, there are a number of means, such as six Lotus doors, it has a number in front of six, eight Sichan it has a four-set, There is eight. That is all there is a level of Zen, the first, second, third grade, and there have figures. For example, pre-only, then meditation, and the concept becomes so only two Law of the. so everything has a number of practice in front of it. So after Wisdom translated classics, advocating no income, Wu Suozhu, air, and then you have this figure right? Therefore, there is still something in my heart, there is a quiet, there is a state, this is not really. So, Mahayana, Zen began to advocate empty, Wisdom, Thereafter, the Chinese talent to really understand the original intent of Buddhism in India. because Kumarajiva, the Chinese people understand space, that is, Taoist philosophy to understand the emptiness with a Lao Buddhist space, can only be similar, but not really understanding. then translated the classic Wisdom after the air has made a new interpretation. is not no, not nothing, not nothing! what he was state? is the state of origin, the reason is very deep. So the Chinese people once they understand the to understand Wisdom.
Northern and Southern Dynasties, Bodhidharma came from India, when the southerners for speculative doctrines, and philosophical study of the theory is very keen, so Wisdom has developed rapidly. Bodhidharma way, wanted to get rid of This special attachment We do seminars have the opportunity to introduce to you.
east from Bodhidharma, the Chinese Zen had changed. before the two stages of meditation: a number of early Buddhist Studies; the second is Wisdom, say air, air experience. Both meditation are called meditation, hard, and do not speak so much theory, because our nature of mind is actually our nearest, in our role in the body and mind it is very readily available. With the front of the basis of these Tathagata Zen, or the foundation has trained us well, Zen patriarch Bodhidharma come to promote, it is easy to accept, easy is good enough.
early master monk Yongjia time is to follow Buddhism into China before and after the order to learn this. Today we are also in accordance with the Master Yongjia order to study the repair learning. Yongjia Zen master to learn a few of the study, but also learn meditation Tiantai Dharma. Wise Master Sect founder Bodhidharma is almost contemporary with the later number. Bodhidharma is over Liang Northern and Southern Dynasties, the wise master of , born Liang, Sui still has life to preaching, to the Sui Kaihuang seventeen years (AD 597) was passed away. Wise Master doctrine of learning has a great feature: those who passed over from the Indian Buddhist, he books of a very respectful, some of the classics on the surface inconsistent with each other about the truth, he will be in context. Why is there conflict? That is because the angles are different. So he has a contract to teach, that is, when the Buddha taught a generation , all the classic give you a reasonable position.
practice in the future, we will find that different Buddhist realm of reading is not the same feeling. sublimated realm of life, way of speaking will be different, different people say different things, on the university student college students, then students said that students, then, to see people that were so, hell that nonsense, the only way to adapt to living beings in the foundation. Wise Master is to the teachings of the framework together, which are which level of the teachings, practice of the method in accordance with the teachings of the hierarchy step by step framework for it. So Tiantai for the practice of Dharma and methods of teaching and view both very seriously, there is a metaphor: like a bird wing, such as the car rounds, indispensable. catechism is taught is the theory, concept is the meditation is practice. This is a wise master of the concept itself, but the descendants of the wise master, or a set of theory and practice of this method summarized the scope of Tathagata Zen . In other words, Yongjia master novice to learn when he is the Tathagata Zen, Zen in the Tathagata, he received great benefit from, the study of rooftop meditation, learn to teach meditation circle, he achieved enlightenment.
founder The purpose of Zen is to achieve enlightenment, the Buddha nature to see us directly, call clear your heart. But the study Tathagata Zen Master Yongjia enlightenment, it does not say that they become enlightened. he was enlightened, he only knows himself that the this reason, ideological level has reached a certain degree, you can now do so by. In this state, he read the is the nor obtained. so many He really is such talk, there is no intelligence and no income. so in the Hyun policy, there came from the Sixth Patriarch Master Yongjia, Wenzhou visit, listening to the master argument Yongjia, I feel like talking about the Sixth Patriarch. Yongjia master said: Of course, he achieved enlightenment, and I became enlightened, how would different from it. Hyun policy, said: Wei Wang For sound, after all the self-taught natural heretics, you still go looking for proof the Sixth Patriarch. Yongjia master to allow students and enlightenment of his disciples from the confidence of students, he told Yuen went to the Sixth Patriarch policy there, so there is a enlightened master is a real person. so we may not be close to good mentor for a long time, you may be half a day or time we met, the problem of their own practice may be completely resolved. You see where Yongjia master to the Sixth Patriarch, after a few dialogue to leave, the Sixth Patriarch Master also reluctant to let him take it right away, leaving him to live a night, Ching Song, large, the temple was divided into a good number of homes, so they are called temples. as University and as each of its lines. Each temple is divided into the monastery, and the Pure Land School, Law School, and later Zen like joy and comfort from this rule do not want to be bound to move away from the temple, built himself a temple called the Temple. not another hospital is a hospital outside of the temple called the House is divided out from the temple. Those places may be called off room for practice, or dedicated to preaching, so the Longxing other homes should be the lower house of Longxing Temple. But Where is it? Yongjia Longxing other homes in the master passed away, later in the wonderful fruit Taishan Temple built on the back of a loose tower, called net minaret or tower called the real body. Net also a barren past Minaret Temple, only cover the Song Dynasty. So it was hypothesized that: Xing other homes may be near the temple in the wonderful fruit, or fruit that is wonderful Temple .
Mr. Nan Huai-like fruit Temple Main Hall before the wonderful write a plaque, and a description of that wonderful fruit Temple was originally built in Yongjia master, but this is written papers, saying that this is unfounded. because the historical data, easily lost, like everywhere now can be replicated. past data may be carved into a stone tablet, not a historical monument may be lost. It is said that There are records, wonderful fruit Dragon Temple in the Tang dynasty years of start-up is 705-707 years. The master is 713 Yongjia passed away, he had not yet passed away, it is possible to build a temple to do Longxing the other homes. Temple to see wonderful results by now is probably the other homes Huguosi. In the past founder of relics can generally cover the tower because the tower is the living Buddha blessed the world good luck and all beings have a ring like a sign, if the relic after the founder passed away , gave him build a tower, so the master passed away in the back cover of this Yongjia called net minaret tower.
relic, there are two, one is a person with good moral knowledge, burn out the stronger after the death of son, is his moral crystallization can be immortal, and moral consistency. Another relic is a body of law, is the ultimate truth, rugged, no birth and no death, everlasting, this interactive.
tower have since built a relic, and that he has not cremated, how to his cap tower? Yongjia Masters passed away in 713 years to the Song Dynasty nearly 300 years. into the tower is sitting niches, and as we cremated. By the Song dynasty was his niche open hair not rot, after his cremation out with this relic, with the relic to build a good tower. Now we see seven towers, was also called net minaret. tower block write also inscribed dug a underground palace. we all know, since there are precious treasures must have underground palace. treasure what is it? results in colorful of the earth and dug up a pot of ashes Sheng, wonderful fruit Temple of worship in the ashes of the old monk tank to find out a great white bean relic, which is the master of the relic Yongjia, which is very rare rare rare treasures. net minaret to the now nearly a thousand years of history, millennium after the ancient tower of the relic and re-circulating in the world shine. If one day, we Yongjia out to greet the master of the relics to the country to receive their pay tribute to the majority of believers, in order to promote meditation and Wenzhou Yongjia history and culture, will be a useful significant event.
second book
Yongjia, Yongjia master master works, the process of formation in accordance with his practice two works: This book is a roll of idea that the rooftop Zen and the number of early Buddhism into China is a melting furnace of the study, compiled a total of ten out of ten chapters so as to learn his catechism, a summary so people can better understand, study meditation roof This is his first book. behest of the ancients in their own, before or when the insightful and thorough enough, is hesitant to write something. Yongjia rooftop meditation master of the practice is a very real benefit from the circumstances, the Yongjia Zen Collection an important work. descendants of that it is melting and the Zen Sect work in a furnace, is not the case, the evidence from the Master Yongjia Song of view, Tiantai meditation a part of Dharma books together. comments on this work, a line of Jing Song of re-layout, arranged it. there is a North Korea and the monks had called the comment classes to learn the contents of the order is based on the process of Yongjia practice to arrange the master, the first part of the rooftop meditation, about fifteen minutes to complete. The second part of the study br> Yongjia the second part of the master book, .
features more than two books: the former a meditation practitioner-oriented, focused state of mind after an expansion, just to Tathagata Zen and the Sect of Zen enlightenment together.
sermon song content, in addition to the joy of Zen state, there are some people in the school is for learning occurred during repair all wrong, all is not right by the phenomenon in detail. Bono is very strange state of mind, and he poured the east, East told he could not down, picked him up is a result, he fell to the west of the heel to go soft. Learning teachings, tell him to pay attention to practice, once upside down, and all used in religious practice, so the two are difficulty righting, error-prone. Thus further studies Mahayana meditation, to learn Wu, of course, the meditation learning process should record the realm of the future is very open-minded enlightenment of nature, he would certainly want this state to write out the sequence from the school before and after the repair look at this is normal. from the state, said Thought Master found: master early learning rooftop, rooftops were the most important Bujing Shu is the The most important of the Buddhist scriptures naturally in the promote the complete and perfect state of cultivation.
Yongjia we choose two books as a master of this textbook of repair is based on the rank order of his further studies and ideological level by the three arrangements: Beginners learn ; Intermediate Learning extract provide a sequential outline of further studies.
Third, Yongjia meditation practice (respect for meditation)
Here, I added a parenthesis: to meditation in terms of Taiwan. A Venerable Hui He also strongly promote the Yongjia Zen, and the the. Hui empty focus is on promoting the Master well, for us it is suitable for the class.
Yongjia meditation practice has five points, five points we want to present further studies as the core and the motto, always alert to their beliefs. Here is the selection of some of idea, we say that the idea is to be called the idea that thinking. We Scriptures, read people, read anything, it just read. but read the first in the wrong? The first is the meaning of the head in your ahead of the read What is it? The interest rate incompetence interest rate concept forget, forget nothing to forget, forget nothing forgotten, left asymmetric dust, the interest rate incompetence, and read off not knowing, knowing off on the left has always been deep silence, http (this is jiong4 Jiong) Seoul not to send, wonderful nature natural. The exhausted hammer, it must have an object you can read, if there is no object you how to pronounce it? so the dust refers to the concept of the object. interest that is the object stopped, the object stopped, with no stop, it The relationship between where? where to find it? you find this concept to students what it was like before them? There is a simple way. Now, we do not have a thought, do not want anything, this time you think about your own home What is it like? home soon coming out, this came out, that is, the concept of dust mm dharma, dharma is the concept. But not to say that the door of your house go to your head here? not. It did not come You should not have in the past, as also did not go did not come, there will be head how the concept of the door? Simply put, that came out before the dust is like? home when the door has not yet, you let yourself think about it, but would like to be reading it, you get to the house door, and ran out the door, then read the head? just want to make their own door to the house, but the door of the house image, the dust has not come out, called dust forget, forget the dust off, and forget the dust naturally stopped, stopped the latter, there is a treat to have it? I can think of people think that door is the thing, the door is the wish of the dust, that dust not lost, I can think of, is gone. So that there is a repair card inside the realm in which to see the idea Yes, it is hard place to start is to see their own idea of what is before them not yet born look, this effort may have to do that later, my first meditation of the main idea to tell you about.
Xing Xing knowing about the second. Xing Xing is plainly not the meaning off the drowsy, so he will not faint Mei. knowing about, is a very quiet, did not shake. do not read outside the territory of all things good and evil, all thoughts are not good or bad, this time you look at is your heart look like? this is knowing about the state of repair due to very quiet time.
forgot margin after knowing about: is the front edge of the dust that is the same. margin is climbing, your mind is climbing thought the house. your heart do not want to, climbing things will naturally stop stopped after the heart will be like? very peaceful. forgot margin after knowing about, the heart of Gnosticism distinctly: outside the realm of thought that the dust is gone, but your heart is not very clear? If clear, this is called the Spirit known. so long as the dust to the outside world to stop, six out of Liu Chen with the outside world, where there are Buddhist saying that goes state, and forget to take care of their own state of mind, the heart of the pain is always to cause interference to the outside world. the pain, there must be some thing is a pain, no nothing, you say he is very painful, it must be joke. Our hearts are so closely linked with the outside world, not to dust down the habit. meditation, that is, outside the bonds of the down. So, after knowing about forgetting margin, distinctly the nature of Gnosticism, which is master.
Wujihunmei Visible: Wuji is stunned, do not know anything, you did not know it? did not seem to fall asleep, do not want do not want good or bad, not bad bad. I had class so often, eyes wide in the far , the teachers do not even know what to say, this is Wuji. Hunmei it, is asleep, to sleep without dreaming, called Hunmei. Wuji and Hunmei is not good roots in the long. Like practice on the road not long barren jungle. more will not increase our merit jungle, its results can only be the fruit of Wuji's other stream, a sense of the future must be reported to the body of a muddle, it is not a good state . Visible is all too clear, plain meaning, which tells us not in the Wujihunmei state, but to clear your mind and body state. deed authentic empty: the around this is indeed De mean deed is need to join, need to join the real original, empty the heart, it is very accurate, very correct. back to say that we are biased towards the side of the watch.
Xing Xing knowing about is: when the heart is clearly white very quiet, not an ordinary quiet, but very quiet, so I knowing about. Wuji knowing about non: Although not a bad heart do not want a good and quiet, because they do not understand the common sense is wrong. knowing about Xing Xing is: I was very quiet, but also well aware of things, that's right. Luanxiang Xing Xing non: Now everyone knows what I'm saying, for all his upside is very clear all delusion, but this clearly is not right.
above Students tell us the idea of starting with the birth and death in the process of how to use a correct attitude to adjust physically and mentally.
meditation, in fact, emotional management. you need a quiet and let his heart became very soft soft very obedient. encountered trouble, Oh, do not worry it! but Bono is not easy to listen to the heart, through meditation we learn to regulate their own body and mind, so that the heart becomes soft and obedient, quiet and serene. So knowing about the process of Xing Xing is a practice important method of cultivation of the mind.
third of the governing law. knowing about good and evil that he did not read the external environment and other things, Xing Xing that he did not live Wuji and other students faint phase: the living is parked in the garage does not move, stop There is not a meditation not move. Some people ride into five hours blink of an eye in the past, pleased to death, in fact, that is not good. Of course, initially to do so can be considered a given, but that is not a good set, because that he did not set in your grasp. Buddhist meditation is to have a good grasp of life skills, management skills. very well, Governance edge considered: edge is climbing, is considered taking into account, so that my heart spin like a gyroscope to stop, to peace and tranquility of the state to seek out the mind of the rule. to rule faint Xing Xing lives: to clearly state to govern white drowsy ignorance, Wuji daze situation. knowing about students faint long live: If you do not have the experience of meditation, I asked everyone to stop all the delusions are sitting here not to move, see, is your heart, a lot of people estimated to ten minutes to be sleepy, why? because our habits of thought is dynamic, and once stopped to nap, so quiet for a long time to start drowsy. Xing Xing long raw edge to consider: If your mind plainly, and has maintained this state in a few minutes You definitely will want something else, a lot of thoughts are coming out, this is a necessary process of practice tells us, is a normal phenomenon should not be too surprising. knowing about breaking Luanxiang: Only to calm down before they can get rid of the idea of a mess. Governance Wu Ji Xing Xing: Xing Xing both knowing about and is the only and the concept of fixed and wisdom, we must support each other, like the two drugs, heat and cold medicine, like medicine, you have a fever, give you eat cold medicine , are you cold give you eat hot medicine. knowing about students Wuji, Xing Xing Health Luanxiang, knowing about, been able to combat confusion and would like to, but also students Wuji undone: Although quiet for a long time to cure down to the delusion, but Then again drowsy. Although plainly dazed on the government can, over time has begun to wander. This tells us how to have a moderate grasp and rule: If you think his head is not clear, and quickly sense is; you feel delusions fly, quickly Jinglv, the most important thing is you have to practice. started two minutes without Dawang Xiang should be no problem, but some people may be more paranoid not stop for a minute, an idea can not stop, you meditation no way. because we are not unconscious, do not get sick, life did not suffer serious disaster struck, hit, the heart still can not grasp, then it is good roots shallow, too many obstacles to secular life is too tight you pull, you can not go back .
Some people have always thought that a good solution to the problem of life so that they are in a state of serene and at ease. but the work, career, family, one by one is important. like a child at the player home, your family, my family, my home banquet pomp than your home, the children told you anxious. Wu Yu Liu Chen, secular life, so we really need to care about it? important for us to grasp the general direction of life, it has a healthy state , to do whatever things. If you do not do things cause, at least have uninterrupted, which is to treat the basic principles of life. We learn meditation, that is, vaccination, do warm-up exercises, learn to interfere with our things down. The easiest way is to feel it now states: the all ideas, knowledge, learning, working all down to when the world does not exist you, then you left? knowing about Xing Xing is very clearly understand their own lives moment of this state, seriously feel it: the sense of balance has been a good rotation, or put a put away?
fourth adjustment method. to Xing Xing is positive, to knowing about the help. so that my mind will not confused, clear clear him regulate Chu, work, life will clearly and simply will not go wrong. then you will feel: the movement of the movement is calm, quiet is quiet understand. as two things are away from the body is not, and do not escape. Do not like a fool to stop wood, moving up like a powder gun. echocardiography is not a pure action, nor a pure stop stop, let yourself know how to move the process of how to move without interference. This is the best state. like the patients, because the rod and the line: Just like the sick people who need a cane to walk. to act now, to stick to help: What does that mean? the rod is to help anyone, we learn meditation, the focus on ability to exercise a certain degree of meditation, with the ability of meditation, as patients have the same stick, the heart can be finalized. But the actual hard, really important thing is the wisdom of the whole purpose of Buddhism is wisdom, not determined. not Eight years is to take a good thing, nor is it met with beauty, or a variety of state are not fond of the former is a good thing. is important that everything you are well aware, is the wisdom to develop the fundamental wisdom. Cardiff For the line we must first get sick stick, then square line: sick people who want to walk, the walk is important, but how do you not go? must first take over a cane, before they can walk. cultivate the heart of the people is the same: So practitioner must first learning set, with set can only be used in ordinary life, the wisdom to adapt physically and mentally.
the fifth to do kung fu. This is the last one is also very important one. just hard when the mood exactly with the motivation to just use common precisely nothing. so many
