Basic knowledge of Buddhism: What is "Prajna" and "Dharma Seal"?

佛学基础知识：什么是“般若”、“法印”？ 

amitabha. Buddhism is the great wisdom of life and the magic weapon of enlightened wisdom.

-----Zhuge Changqing

Buddhist wisdom is the treasure of life's leap and enlightenment.

Zhuge Changqing believes that if you have time, you can read more Buddhist scriptures and more basic knowledge of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

The founder of Buddhism is Sakyamuni Buddha. The Buddha appeared in North India three thousand years ago.

According to Chinese history, the Buddha was born in the twenty-fourth year of King Zhao of Zhou (Jiayin), died in the fifty-third year of King Mu of Zhou (Renshen), and lived for seventy-nine years.

Since Buddhism was introduced into China at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, it has a long history of more than 2000 years. Buddhism has become an inseparable and important part of Chinese traditional culture.

Zhuge Changqing shares the basic knowledge of Buddhism

1、 What is Prajna?

Prajna: "Everything is Prajna who can make people realize.

People without Prajna are blind people who touch the elephant and cannot see the truth of things.

"Prajna" is different from "wisdom", because wisdom has good and evil. If wisdom is "sick", it becomes "idiot", just as science is beneficial and harmful, its meaning is shallow, and it can be divided into evil and good; Prajna is pure, unspeakable and far-reaching, and most people who hear it can have a deep heart. There are three types of Prajna:

1. Prajna: It is more convenient to guide than to understand, such as boat raft. Prajna, Buddhist language. Prajna (b ō  r ě）， The transliteration of Sanskrit. Or it is translated as "Boro", meaning "wisdom". Buddhism refers to the wisdom of understanding everything truthfully, and transliteration is used to show that it is different from the wisdom generally referred to. Mahayana Buddhism calls it "the mother of all Buddhas". All teachings of the Buddha, or all precepts of the Buddha disciples, whether they are vocal teachings or classics printed in words, are called literal prajna. Prajna is not based on wisdom, but is the natural expression after enlightenment. The wisdom of Prajna includes five kinds, namely the so-called five prajnas. The first is the real prajna, the second is the state prajna, the third is the written prajna, the fourth is the convenient prajna, and the fifth is the dependent prajna. The five connotations are Vajra Prajna.

2. Prajna: It is to experience the truth rather than practice, such as driving. The wisdom of observing the truth is the body of Prajna. Zhao Lun said, 'Look at Prajna, and take things as they are.' Fazang Heart Sutra said, 'You can see the wonderful wisdom by looking at it.'

3. Prajna of reality: It is based on what is understood and demonstrated, and it is more important than the body, such as reaching the destination. Prajna (sh í xi ā ng b ō  r ě） Reality, Buddhist language. It refers to the truth or natural state of things in the universe. Prajna, the transliteration of Sanskrit. Or it is translated as "Boro", meaning "wisdom". Buddhism refers to the wisdom of understanding everything truthfully, and transliteration is used to show that it is different from the wisdom generally referred to. Mahayana Buddhism calls it "the mother of all Buddhas". The reality is prajna. Prajna is the metaphysical Tao body, the source of all things in the universe, that is, the Tao body that is understood by understanding and understanding. In the words of Buddhism, understanding the Tao is to see the emptiness of the Tao body, which is called Prajna, which is part of wisdom. Prajna is the wisdom revealed. Wisdom is equal to everyone, and the wisdom shown is different. Therefore, the wisdom shown is called fundamental and reality!

Prajna refers to our wisdom, truth, reality, true nature, sincerity and Buddha mother.

2、 What is French seal?

A seal is a seal.

The king's seal therefore proves the authenticity of the document (having the function of unimpeded passage).

This metaphor is used to illustrate the main teachings of Buddhism, and also to prove that it is the true Buddha dharma by conforming to the "Dharma Seal" (mastering it, you can have access to all dharma without hindrance), so it is called Dharma Seal.

"All actions are impermanent, all actions are without me, and nirvana is silent", which is also called the three dharma seals, or "all actions are painful", which is also called the four dharma seals.

阿弥陀佛。佛法是人生大智慧，是开悟智慧的法宝。

----- 诸葛长青

   佛法智慧，是人生飞跃开悟的宝贝。

   诸葛长青认为，如果有时间，可以多看佛经，多看儒释道基础知识。

   佛教的创始人是释迦牟尼佛，世尊在三千年前，出现在北印度。

   根据中国历史所记载，佛诞生在周昭王二十四年（甲寅），于周穆王五十三年（壬申）入灭，住世七十九年。

   佛教自从西汉末年传入中国汉地，流传至今已有两千多年的漫长历史了，佛教已成为中华传统文化一个密不可分的重要组成部分。　 

     诸葛长青把佛教基础知识分享有缘者：

   一、什么是“般若”？

   般若：“能让人觉悟者，一切都是般若。

 　没有般若的人，就是盲人摸象，不能看清事物的真相。

  “般若”不同于“智慧”，因智慧有善有恶，若智慧“生病”则成“痴”，如同科学有益也有害，含义较肤浅，有邪正之分；而般若是纯善的、不可言说的、意义深远的，闻者大都能生殷重之心。般若种类，有三：

 　1、文字般若：在于方便引导，重于解悟，如舟筏。文字般若，佛教语。般若（bō rě），梵语的译音。或译为“波若”，意译“智慧”。佛教用以指如实理解一切事物的智慧，为表示有别于一般所指的智慧，故用音译。大乘佛教称之为“诸佛之母”。凡是佛所说的一切教法，或是佛弟子所说的一切言教，不论是声教或是文字所印刷的经典，都称为文字般若。文字般若不是凭聪明得来的，是悟道之后的自然流露。般若这个智慧包含五种，就是所谓的五般若，第一种是实相般若，第二种是境界般若，第三种是文字般若，第四种是方便般若，第五种是眷属般若。五种的内涵就是金刚般若。

　　2、观照般若：在于体验真理，重于实行，如驾驶。观照实相之理之智慧，即般若之身体也（般若译曰智慧）。肇论曰：‘观照般若，照事照理故。’法藏心经疏曰：‘观照能观妙慧。’

　　3、实相般若：在于所悟所证，重于性体，如抵目的地。实相般若（shí xiāng bō rě）实相，佛教语。指宇宙事物的真相或本然状态。般若，梵语的译音。或译为“波若”，意译“智慧”。佛教用以指如实理解一切事物的智慧，为表示有别于一般所指的智慧，故用音译。大乘佛教称之为“诸佛之母”。实相般若。般若就是形而上的道体，是宇宙万有的本源，也就是悟道、明心见性所悟的那个道体。在佛学的文字上，悟道就是见到那个道体的空性，叫做实相般若，属于智慧的部分。实相般若是:显现出的智慧。智慧人人平等，显现出的智慧不同，所以：把显现出的智慧称为根本、实相！

　　般若指的是我们的智慧、真理、实相、本来面目、真心、佛母。

   二、什么是法印？

 　印就是印玺。

   国王的印玺所以证明文件的真实（有通行无阻的作用）。

   借以比喻佛教的主要教义，也以符合“法印”而证明其为真正佛法（掌握了它，便能对一切法通达无碍），所以称为法印。

  “诸行无常，诸法无我，涅槃寂静”，并称三法印，或者加上“一切行苦”，亦称四法印。
