You can look at the following and understand the Four Noble Truths of Emptiness, Suffering and Impermanence taught by the Buddha. Only then will you know how to let go of the illusory materialistic emotions of fame and fortune in the world, and pursue the eternal Buddha-nature and understand your mind and nature.
The five aggregates are all empty (2)
Because of the birth and death of the five aggregates, when you see matter, the "color" you produce is what I see with my eyes. In the colored world, if you see something you like, you have to look at it from the inside. In other words, the Buddha taught us that among the five aggregates, whether they are material or non-material you see today, you must solve these problems from your heart. Master asks you, except for the form aggregates, the other four aggregates are mental activities, so the Buddha told us to observe insight. Removing the five aggregates becomes "all five aggregates are empty", but you must first empty all four aggregates in your mind. Buddha is really a great philosopher and educator! Among these five aggregates are "feelings, thoughts, actions, and consciousness." The four aggregates are all inner. Are the feelings internal? Do you think it’s from the heart? Okay, my own mental behavior, "I can't wait to rush over and scold him", I'm thinking in my heart, right? Then there is consciousness, which is all within.
The Buddha said at the beginning that he asked everyone to observe the arising and passing away of the five aggregates. Then the Buddha went on to say that being able to observe the phenomenon and process of the emergence of the five aggregates is to observe the arising and passing away of the five aggregates. . So wonderful! Master doesn’t even know if you understand. The Buddha said that if we can observe the phenomenon and process of appearance, feeling, thought, action, and consciousness, for example, your love for this person begins to form in your mind today, and you will slowly fall in love more and more until you truly love this person in your heart. The thing is that you like him very much. By that time, your five aggregates have actually been formed, right? Love until the end... In fact, you are watching during this process. What is "view"? observe. "Photo" means that I am looking at this issue. Contemplate the birth and death of your own five aggregates. Because you love him, love him, love him to the end, the marriage will be gone if it fails; I thought and thought, and then, after thinking about it, it was over; I want to buy something today, I buy and buy, I can’t afford it, so Gone: everything is empty. After all, the Buddha is telling you that if you observe the birth and death of the five aggregates, whatever comes into being will come to an end. The truth is that simple.
So, what should we do if we want "all five aggregates to be empty"? To understand the birth and death of the five aggregates. The Buddha reversed this sentence and said that if you want "the five aggregates to be empty", you have to see their arising and passing away. You want to wear it today, it’s because you have been emotionally tortured that you can figure it out. If you have never been abandoned by others, why would you think, "I don't care, I am a monk today, I am free, I don't want to get married again"? Do you think unmarried people have wanted to remain unmarried since childhood? Because the five aggregates caused him particularly great harm, he thought of finally removing them. Because any good or evil will come and go, so I put it to death, and my heart became empty, which is called "the five aggregates are empty." Master has made it very simple.
Now let’s talk about form aggregate. The color aggregate is a false combination of the "four elements". Many people don't understand it. They think things are good when they see them with their eyes, but they are actually false. Master asks you, when you meet someone for the first time, you think he is cute and nice. After you get married and are together with him every day, and all his faults come out, do you think he is good? In the past, when we saw Westerners in China, we thought they were so cute. They would say "Hello" when they saw us, and they looked so amiable. Now that we have been in Australia for a long time, let’s take a look at your interactions with Westerners: you have just invited him to dinner, and then you tell him something that he is not willing to do: “NO.” You give him No matter how much you eat, it's all in vain. Chinese people are embarrassed to say no when it comes to feelings, but Westerners just say "NO". It's as simple as that. So you have to see things to the end and understand that there is birth and death.
Master tells everyone that earth, water, fire and wind are actually related to feelings, thoughts, actions and consciousness. Because "earth" is closely related to "feeling", the earth is a real hard thing. We call it the program, the beams for building a house. The hard earth has bones, and the bones in the body are actually human feelings. "Thinking" is like "water", flowing like clouds and flowing water. Once you have thought about it, it is gone and the water flows away.
The third "action" is action. People say that action is like rushing and killing. I will take action. I will do it. I will do it with all my heart. It is like "fire". It will be burned out by one fire. Action will last a lifetime. It's over, it's over, like fire, it's empty in the end. When the fire is over, it's gone. Many people have done so many things in their lives, and they end up lying in bed when they die. What did they do? When many masters finally became enlightened, people told them: "You have done so many great things in your life." "What makes me great? I have done nothing in my life, because everything in my life is empty."
Master asks you, what have you done? What did your parents do in this world in their lifetime? Your grandparents, do you still remember them now? Your ancestors, no matter how old your grandparents are, can you remember what they did in the world? You can't even remember their names. "Wind" is consciousness. The wind is like consciousness. I just remembered: "Oh, is that so?" Like a gust of wind, "Oh, no", it is gone. "Will he buy me a bouquet of flowers for Valentine's Day today?" After thinking for a long time, someone knocked on the door. She thought it was her boyfriend who bought her flowers and delivered them to her. When the door opened, it was someone asking for milk money. My consciousness was like a gust of wind. I was just wondering what would happen to him. I was happy for a long time, but my consciousness blew past me like a gust of wind. All of this is caused by your delusions. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas say that these forms, feelings, thoughts, actions, and consciousness are all delusions and should not exist. Delusions are bad, false, and empty things, but you have kept them all in your hearts.
People lie to you, and you yourself do the same to others. These are all delusions. Therefore, the five aggregates are temporary behaviors born of illusion. Why did the Buddha tell you that "all five aggregates are empty"? Because these are all flashy things. Master asks you, if you think about it and then disappear, is this a short-term behavior? Just imagine how wonderful it will be when I grow up. Imagine that I might be able to marry a very good man in the future. This is all thought of. How about it later? This is how we behave and do things. This world is all imagined, and everything is a temporary act born of illusion. Many of you girls had delusions when you were young, and boys have it too. Girls all think about who they can marry when they grow up, "What can I do?"; boys also think about "what am I going to be" when they grow up? Know to return to reality.
Everything arises from causes and conditions, and everything ceases from causes and conditions. That is to say, everything is destroyed from the end of the cause to the end of the condition. If you have the intention to have a good relationship with someone today, you will slowly lose the good relationship with him and destroy it. You are a child today, but when you grow older and become an old woman, you will die. So, you understand what the Buddha told us. If you see emptiness, and you know what birth and death are, you will know the birth and death of the five aggregates. After you see emptiness, you will know that "the five aggregates are all empty." "Yes. After Master talks to you, you will easily understand that "form is empty" in the "Heart Sutra", which means "the five aggregates are all empty". Because you see that this colored world is empty, and you have observed what the Buddha said about being able to observe the phenomena and processes of the five aggregates, you are observing the birth and death of the five aggregates; when you know that everything in this world is alive When there is and ceases, you will know that "form is emptiness"; when you understand that "form is emptiness", you will have the wisdom of the Buddha.
You can recite the Heart Sutra 7 times a day, and ask the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanshiyin Bodhisattva to bless xxx (name) for enlightenment. The Buddha's fate will lead you to the Dharma door that suits you.
