What is Zen? How to become a Buddha?

什么是禅？如何成佛？

What is Zen? Zen is heart. How to become a Buddha? Heart is Buddha.

... Zhuge Changqing

What is Zen?

Master Zhuge Changqing said, "Master Mingben of Zhongfeng":

Zen is heart, and heart is Zen.

How to become a Buddha?

Master Zhuge Changqing said, "Master Mingben of Zhongfeng":

The heart is the Buddha, and the heart is the Buddha.

If this heart is merciful and complete, it is Buddha,

If this heart is greedy, angry, and foolish, it is all living beings.

All sentient beings of the Heart Buddha are originally one and have no difference.

If you manage your heart well, you can become a Buddha.

Master Zhuge Changqing, "Zen Master Mingben of Zhongfeng", said in the Miscellaneous Records of Zhongfeng:

Don't lose heart, don't fall into life and death;

The industry is not related to the form and quality;

Love is not heavy, do not enter the Saha;

If you can't remember, you won't be tired.

The reason is that delusions arise from delusions; If you follow what you hold, your thoughts of love will be diverse and flourishing; Contrary to what they hold, the habit of hatred will arise. If you love and hate each other, the traces of death and life will move and flow, and the new and the new will not live, and the chanting will continue, so that there will be eight hundred lives and deaths in a moment. How can you wait for a hundred years of life and death?

Shitu: After a meditation, you will finally become a positive consciousness, and the frog will never stop limping for thousands of miles. There are shallow and deep roots in good things, and its success depends only on the determination of anger. Now I am telling you the truth and the custom. We should know the four changes and the four difficulties.

What is the name of the four changes? If you are a Buddha, don't ask for teachers. If you want to provide for Buddha, you can only provide for yourself.

Wuwei is a Buddha. Without looking at the scriptures and rituals, it is like walking the path and sitting in meditation. If you are hungry and sleepy, you can lie down and follow the fate.

Nothing is a Buddha. You don't have to destroy your body and give up your family. The mountains and towns are everywhere free, and the three changes are also.

Without seeking truth from the Buddha, you don't have to work hard to practice hard. There is no negotiation between the two elements of happiness and wisdom.

What are the four difficulties? Can believe one difficulty, can read two difficulties, can understand three difficulties, and can practice four difficulties.

If you believe in cause and effect, it can be a small faith, not a big faith. However, there are many doubters and few believers. Those who believe without doubt rate one or two ears of thousands of people! What's more, do you see that the nature of the Buddha is beyond the limit?

Thousands of classics, thousands of theories, strange traces and strange traces remain in the world, only for people who have no confidence. The saints are merciful and convenient. They open the door and let them enter through the letter gate. Those who have the letter must do it. The reason why this letter is difficult is also.

In the twelve-hour period, we only want to keep in mind, read when we walk, read when we sit, read when we sit, move, speak when we sit, sleep when we rise and fall, and read when we are dealing with things, even when we are in distress and danger.

Its body is like a dead wood, like a hard stone, like a dead body, like a puppet. Only the heart is in the way, and the response is infatuated with people. Hearing the sound and seeing the color is like blinding, so it is like catching mice and cats. If you focus on watching, you will lose mice if you neglect less. If a chicken holds its eggs, the heating is more expensive than the connection. If it is abandoned, it will not become a seed.

The reason why this thought is difficult is that the thought of Tao is based on persistence, and the understanding of Tao is based on instant. The reason is not familiar, the season is not yet, the mechanism is opened repeatedly, and nothing happens. The reason is familiar and the season is coming. Although the voice and form are not connected, it suddenly appears before.

It is difficult for those who have not understood to say what they have understood. For those who are born blind, they speak with the clearness of the day. Although he listens, he cannot distinguish. Those who have realized have no tracks to tread on but have not yet realized, such as those who sleep and become aware, making it a dream thing, which can not be traced even though it is remembered.

Those who take part in learning should be guided by understanding, which is also difficult. You must always be worried before you understand, and you must keep the benefits you have learned. It is like holding water, holding treasure, protecting eyes, and trampling danger. If you are loyal to your teacher, it is the way to keep it. Those who hold and guard the law also practice it. Only when they see the law can they practice it.

什么是禅？禅就是心。如何成佛？心即是佛。

……诸葛长青

什么是禅？

诸葛长青师傅“中峰明本禅师”说：

禅即是心，心就是禅。

如何成佛？

诸葛长青师傅“中峰明本禅师”说：

是心是佛，是心作佛。

此心若慈悲圆满便是佛，

此心若贪嗔痴炽盛便是众生。

心佛众生，本是一体，了无差别。

管好内心，心在佛，即可成佛。

诸葛长青师傅“中峰明本禅师”《中峰杂录》说：

心不迷，不坠生死；

业不系，不受形质；

爱不重，不入娑婆；

念不起，不生业累。

盖因迷起妄，由妄生执；顺其所执，则爱之之念纷然而兴；逆其所执，则憎之之习勃然而起。爱憎之情作，则死生之迹动转迁流，新新不住，念念相续，以至一刹那间具八百生灭，岂待百年气泯、然后为生死者哉？

示徒：一念静心终成正觉，蛙步不休跛鳖千里。器有利钝根有浅深，及其成功一也，独在乎发愤立志而已矣。吾今痛谕道俗，当知四易四难。

何名四易？自己是佛，不用别求师资。若欲供养佛，只供养自己，一易也。

无为是佛，不用看经礼像行道坐禅，饥餐困卧任缘随运，二易也。

无著是佛，不用毁弃形体捐弃眷属，山林市井处处自在，三易也。

无求是佛，不用积功累善勤修苦行，福慧二严元无交涉，四易也。

何名四难？能信一难，能念二难，能悟三难，能修四难。

夫信因果，可以为小信，不可为大信。然犹疑者多，信者少。信而不疑者率千百人中有一二人耳！何况顿见自性一超直入如来之事乎？

千经万论奇踪异迹种种留在世间，只为人无信心。众圣慈悲广施方便，开晓群迷令其由信门入。盖有其信者必行之，此信之所以为难也。

十二时中惟欲念念不忘，行时行念之，坐时坐念之，起居动止语默卧兴时皆念之，治事接物乃至困苦患难险危之时亦皆念之。

其身如槁木，如顽石，如死尸，如土偶。唯心心在道，应答于人如痴如醉。闻声见色如聩如盲，所以喻如猫捕鼠，心目一于注视，少怠则失鼠矣。如鸡抱卵，暖气贵于相接，弃之则不成种子矣。

此念之所以 又为难也，念道本于持久，悟道在于须臾。因缘未熟，时节未到，机关屡启，无所遇也。因缘既熟，时节既到，虽形声不接，忽现前也。

未悟者难与言已悟之见，如生而盲者，语以天日之清明。彼虽听，不可辨也。已悟者无复踏未悟之迹，如寐而觉者，使其为梦中事，彼虽忆而不可追也。

参学之士，要当以悟为准，此悟之所以又为难也。未悟常须忧念，已悟益须持守。如擎盘水，如执至宝，如护目睛，如践危险。若对君师，是持守之道也。持守者修之也，见道方修，道不见何庸修。
