Buddhism in the appreciation of China's traditional culture

Death is only the disappearance of life forms in this period. We leave this world, but we cannot leave the endless six paths and the burning three realms.

Before leaving life and death, the torrent of life will continue, and all kinds of karma created by heart will still follow and influence us forever in the infinite future.

When the pen is tempted to think, it is a reflection of mood anytime and anywhere. When writing an article in a state of mind, Zen will naturally come to the fore. I seem to understand why it is a very appropriate way to give points by fate. A paragraph of text, a few words, reveals the realm everywhere. However, to a certain extent, what kind of words are used is the embodiment of the realm. I read some Zen words before writing, and I felt that there was a feeling of flowing between the lines. What comes out of my heart, slightly moist, but without trace? Is Enlightenment the Great Enlightenment? I think so too, but there is no anger, no joy, it is an ethereal consciousness, no consciousness, but it is consciousness. The budding idea just came to mind is written in front of the text. May be a little deliberately seeking that kind of mood, that kind of persistence, but since I wrote it, that's it.

I will start here. Start with the above sentence.

The cycle of life and death is endless.

I want to look at the Buddhist view of life and death with a more objective attitude, with the Buddhist mind and law, rather than with the Buddhist point of view.

Such an explanation is a kind of wisdom. Born to be human, we are a one-time game. In this game, people always have a reckless heart. In this world, they are wanton, wanton and happy, but wanton and painful. Maybe we shouldn't use such violent words, but I think it is very appropriate. This feeling, which can't be deliberately captured, has a much greater impact on us than the feeling that can really be touched, and it subtly changes our behavior. We are always afraid, and our hearts are always brought here and there by the world, and there is no peace. However, the Buddha told us that life is not a disposable paper cup, you can use it at will. Buddha said to use this paper cup all the time. Even if the cup is empty, it doesn't mean we have to throw it away, just that we will change it to a different drink. Buddha turned this game into an infinite game. One-time games often have unsatisfactory results, which are called prisoner's dilemma. In infinite games, people achieve the most satisfactory results under various constraints. The basic content of game theory is that the police catch two prisoners without evidence and try them separately. If one confesses, one does not confess, and the one who does not confess is imprisoned for ten years, and the one who confesses is imprisoned for one year. If both of them confess, they will be imprisoned for five years. If both of them don't confess, they are acquitted. But whether the other prisoner chooses to confess or not, the best choice of the other prisoner is to confess, so in the end, both of them confessed, and their situation became worse and they could not cooperate with each other. But if two people continue to partner after they get out of prison, then the next time they are caught, one person can threaten the other by confessing, so that neither of them will confess, and the result is the best. ) The Buddha added the widest boundary to our inner or moral values through the concept of life and death in the life cycle, which is broad because, to some extent, this constraint is imposed by ourselves, not just the educational effect of life and death cycle on realistic morality. Other aspects of Buddhism are shaping the mind, which is a normative invisible constraint. This constraint is like putting a reins on a wild horse that we don't know what to do. Is this reins more attractive to such a wild horse, a boundless grassland full of freedom and danger under the blue sky, or a stable sense of direction and intimate dependence on its owner? I don't know, I can't tell, but I know that people are not wild horses. People's ancestors lived in a fixed forest, but human nature is to give up the life of taking the sky as the cover and the land as the house, build a house for themselves and live in it. People want to find a house for their hearts, which can shelter them from the wind and rain and lead a quiet life. Buddhism is such a place in a sense. Buddhism is a human world. It is also a world that people develop for their own hearts.

What is the heart? The heart is the most nihilistic, but it is the most real. What we can really perceive is only our own heart. Being able to perceive doesn't mean being able to control it, and sometimes we can't perceive it correctly; We can't control it, but it doesn't mean we can't control it. Always confused by the outside world. Buddhism uses its special way to make people try to isolate their hearts from the outside world, so that people can control their hearts. This is the "emptiness" of Buddhism. Let us deny the wrong understanding and persistence, because this is the root of our troubles. Everything in the world is empty, and everything is the illusion of karma. Life. But why is the Buddha's final answer "empty" instead of the so-called happiness we can get in reality? Whether it is real happiness or not, it can at least make us feel temporary pleasure. Why can't we keep this happiness forever? Why impermanence? Because the external world is impermanent, and that kind of happiness comes from this impermanent world rather than ourselves. Such a world, such ups and downs, doomed the heart to bump up and down in the world. People are not wild horses, people like inertia, so people are persistent, but they are bumpy in the world because of persistence. The only way is to give up persistence, that is, to give up the mood that the world can bring. We would rather give up such happiness than such sadness. What's left is a quiet sense of stability and belonging. Where does it belong? Convert to the three treasures.
