A simple interdisciplinary conversation exploring religion and culture.

Keywords: The mind is the Buddha, the universe is the same as the human body, what does the Ten Thousand Volumes of Sutras say?

Either the Buddha is speaking, or the Buddha is speaking, or the Buddha is speaking pseudonymously.

What is Buddha?

"Mazu taught me that the heart is Buddha." "How is Buddha? The most spiritual being in the world of the ten directions." Since Buddha = heart, it goes without saying the importance of the Heart Sutra to Buddhism - there is only one volume in the whole sutra.

, 160 words, belongs to a section of the 600 volumes in the "Da Pin Prajna Sutra", which can be called a "summary".

"My heart is not at peace, so I beg for peace from my teacher." Huike can't be found, why?

If a big item is placed in front of you, who can't see it?

People say "you can see it with your own eyes".

What if it's a speck of dust?

It is mysterious, subtle, and unfathomable. It is like a mote of dust, a mustard seed, or the void. The so-called "backstage" and the so-called "big road" - "people use it every day but don't know it." Therefore, Buddhism uses it to describe the heart and nature.

When we were studying the Dharma and cultivating the Tao, at a very quiet time, the Sixth Patriarch showed us "a thing", and the old man Yuan Yin smiled and said, "It's secret in my heart."

"How can a sect grow up and down?" Listen to what the old villager said again: Read the first chapter of "Journey to the West", "The source of spiritual growth flows out of the mind and practice the great path," and look at it from the perspective of Buddhism, oh, "the flower of the heart"

"Invention, illuminating the ten directions of the temple" - once this flower blooms, it "grows in the presence of the wind" and blooms instantly ("alarming the sage and benevolent person in the sky, the Jade Emperor, the great god of heaven, the mysterious sky and the high god"), so that "the earth becomes flat" and "the void

"Broken to pieces" - Damo Yun "If it is wide, it will permeate the Dharma Realm, but if it is narrow, it will not tolerate needles." The scriptures say, "Break the first barrier."

"The Fisherman" sang, "Lilengluo, Xumi dances in the void." The novel says that "Wukong" claims to be "Qi Tian" - he can be called a great sage, but only our "heart".

So when faced with the question "All things are unified, where can one go?" The master said, "I made a collar of cloth in Qingzhou, which weighed seven kilograms."

The eminent monks have different opinions: "after the moon", "at present", "in the palm", "on the tongue", and "under the heel".

The eminent monk also said "on the brow".

Is it like Sun Wukong's "golden cudgel that was originally the sacred treasure of Dinghai" that can be retracted and retracted according to the size of one's heart?

Darling, you're not mistaken, it turns out to be Buddha's crutch.

Among all the metaphors, they are nothing but Zen ideas and nothing but truth!

If I continue to talk nonsense here and ask endless questions, ho ho, "The mountain monk can't help but give me some pointers." Well, be careful not to dodge, the old man is about to give "pointers", isn't he shouting: "Tiantai chestnut wood, Nanyue Long live vine."

He can speak faster than changing his face in Sichuan Opera.

Before he could say anything more, the old monk "dismounted his staff" and walked away, leaving a group of people confused.

If enlightened at this time, the practitioner will immediately obtain "a mustard seed that accepts Sumeru"; immediately he will obtain "the precious king's temple appears at the end of a millimeter"; he will immediately obtain "the whole world in the ten directions is a bright pearl"; immediately he will obtain "a mouthful of

"Suck up all the water from the Xijiang River"; Immediately you will realize that "the night sky is dark when the moon falls over the pond"; you will immediately realize that "the entire world in the ten directions is like a piece of ink"; you will immediately realize that "there is no one in the world in the ten directions who is not yourself"; you will immediately realize that "one

"The world is hidden in a grain of grain"; you will immediately realize that "the three realms are only mind and all dharmas are only consciousness"; you will immediately realize that "one body is equipped with a thousand hands and eyes"; you will immediately realize that "my heart is the universe and the universe is my heart".
