Should the real founder of Zen see nature clearly and break through the triple barriers? Why does Zen belong to universal religion rather than circular religion?
Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who have reached the realm of Zen are buddhas of general education level. They want to prove emptiness, but they don't know that emptiness is still a phase. What is empty? An empty phase is an empty and accessible phase. They broke everything and the evidence went blank. The classic sentence is: What if others see that I have color? Can't see the Buddha. This is disfigurement! They don't know that empty phase and phase are a pair of treatments, and empty phase and phase are opposite, because only with phase can you distinguish the empty phase here from the phase there. If there is no phase, even if you see the empty phase in front of you, you don't know it is empty. One more thing, they don't know that there are quite a few empty phases, so they have to break them into empty phases. If they knew this, they wouldn't have to be disfigured. For example, if you dig a hole in the wall, the hole is empty. The hole was already in the wall before you dug it. It's not that you dug the hole before you entered. No, it is enough to prove that there is an empty phase, that is, if you don't hide the Tathagata, the present is empty. So you want to find out if emptiness is boring? Extra. The emptiness in the emptiness is not as wise as that in the emptiness, just like there is a river in front of you, and the water is deep. One person knows the depth of the river when he looks at it on the shore, and another person has to jump into the river to experience it before he believes that the river is deep. Which of the two men is wiser? Is it the man who doesn't have to go into the water on the shore? Yes By analogy, if you know that there is considerable emptiness when there is a phase, you have already proved emptiness, which is higher than that of a yogi in the air. If you understand this truth, you don't need surprises. You didn't say you wanted to make surprises. No, the Shurangama Sutra explains this in great detail. You can search for teacher Danglian on Youku.com and listen to the Shurangama Sutra patiently. The field of general education has explained the characteristics of their practice in the first lecture. Tibet, communication, separation and circle are the second most important things in practice, so we must understand them. The realm of general education is not real, but the "clarity of mind" in their realm, that is, phased guidance. There is also a realm above the realm of general knowledge, that is, the realm of circular education, and the Shurangama Sutra is the realm of circular education.
