The law of karma-the law of streams
We say that the cause-and-effect method or the origin method is the fundamental idea of Buddhism, and the cause-and-effect reason is not difficult to understand. Cause is like seed, cause is like condition (sunshine, water, carbon dioxide), and effect is true. Our body and mind and even everything in the world are inseparable from the cycle of cause and effect. After seeing the stars at night, the Buddha sighed under the bodhi tree: "I can't think about Buddhism, and I don't believe in clouds." "No matter what I have proved, it's futile to try again." "I would rather not start the performance and rush into nirvana." Since it's hard to think, it's definitely hard to understand. This is the so-called "separation of law from what you see and know", or taking fireflies to burn Mount Sumi. Just as the founder said, "Understanding, thinking and solving are all the work of ghosts", that is to say, the realm that Buddha proved in those days could not be achieved by logical reasoning with his brain, which is the mystery; And what we generally know as the origin of truth was enlightened by the Buddha? Is it really so "magical"? So it seems that the origin method is so much. What's the mystery?
Original emptiness
"On China" said: "The law born of karma, I say it is empty, also known as a pseudonym, and it is also the morality of China", and the "emptiness" behind the law of origin is its puzzling and puzzling place. People who know a little about Buddhism have some knowledge about the cause and effect, but even so, they just know what it is and don't know why. If you want to have all the physical evidence of causality, you must personally prove emptiness. We say, "All laws are born of cause and effect; All laws are predestined by karma, so the body of karma is emptiness, that is, the noumenon of all laws, and all laws or everything we can perceive at the moment occur in emptiness. According to the cloud, "phase is virtual reality", but we generally only know its virtual reality and don't know its real body. The origin of law is also true, its phase is impermanent and illusory, but its body is really unchanged. Although all beings can understand the origin, they can't dissolve in their bodies, so they can't be freed.
We say that the law born of karma has no substance and is illusory, but many people make a mistake, that is, treating illusion as truth and falsehood as truth, and making various choices among them. For example, the shadow has no place to live and no place to die. We can't say that the shadow comes from the body, otherwise why the body has no shadow without light; The shadow does not come from the light, otherwise there is light without the body, so the shadow is like karma. Marginal aggregation exists temporarily, while marginal dispersion disappears. This is the "illusory disillusionment of life" as the scripture says. Attention! It is "disillusionment" rather than the birth and death of an entity. If you are born and die, you will be born in one place and die in another. In this way, if we stubbornly want to eliminate the shadow or try to catch it, it is tantamount to indirectly acknowledging its authenticity, which is inappropriate. In practice, we all have many choices, but we don't know that the heavier the choice is, we are just confusing the fake with the real! The layman Pang Yun said, "But if there is no intention of everything, why not always surround everything?" That is to teach us that without intention, there is no choice, just like a problem that is not a problem, there is no need to solve it or not at all. For example, the Shurangama Sutra says that "vacuum is empty, the edge is empty, doing nothing is endless, and it is as empty as China".
Causal acceptance method
It is difficult for many people to apply the method of knowing karma in their lives, knowing that everything is the birth and death of karma, which is illusory, but they are often bound by many people's things, clinging to the good and the bad, and being tough in their own ideas. We say that "acceptance" is a belief, acceptance and behavior that goes hand in hand with body and mind. Otherwise, even if the causal law is exaggerated, there is no point in doing things, which cannot be ignored. A person who complains too much about life, is too picky, likes it in the world and dislikes it in the world will definitely not accept the law of karma, so he will talk nonsense in the discussion of Buddhism. Even if he can thoroughly analyze the law of karma, or give full play to its absurdity, it is still a rough line. The important thing is whether everyone can be happy with the situation in life, make it full of luck, and deeply understand that all laws are magical, so that he is really comfortable.
It is incomplete if you don't involve yourself in the discussion of causality. The law of origin must cover everything, including you, me and his body and mind. Without you, me and him, the law of karma doesn't make much sense. Therefore, it is easy to listen to the method born of karma, but if we really want to go deep into the bone marrow of karma, we must play it in emptiness, and then we can follow the fate without making it artificial at all times. The heart is like an emptiness that can accommodate all disillusionment methods, and it is like a "wild goose"
And the following:
Buddhism talks about cause and effect and karma, which is karma. In other words, everything in the universe has a cause, a life and an inevitable result. Karma is the direct internal cause leading to the result; Fate refers to the help of the outside world, which can promote the result of the cause, that is, all the causes of the result are karma.
Buddhism says: "All laws are born of reason, and all laws are destroyed by reason." "There is a set of reasons in the world, and there is no reason to destroy the world." In other words, all life phenomena in the universe are inseparable from the law of karma.
The causal law of Buddhism is based on the theory of origin and emptiness. The reason why Buddhism can realize Buddhism is to realize that everything comes from karma. Looking at all the laws in the world, people, things and things are interrelated; And the existence of everything is like a heavy illusion net. Only by observing the cause and effect in the illusory origin method can we thoroughly understand the cause, effect, nature, phase, force and use of the origin. Therefore, to understand the principle of causality, we must first understand the origin of emptiness. It can also be explained here that karma is karma, and the beginning is life; Because it is the main situation, the edge is the auxiliary edge, and the cause of the main situation can only be born by the edge, so it is called the edge.
All the laws of the universe are composed of various causal relationships. All things are born for a reason, die for a reason, and are completely dominated by the cause. This shows that all laws born of life have no independent self. Therefore, don't say that reincarnation is restricted by cause and effect, even nirvana liberation can't be separated from the law of cause and effect.
In fact, there is no law in the universe that is not born of fate, so it is impossible to seek a regular, permanent and independent self (entity). Buddhism is not metaphysics, but understanding it realistically, that is, realizing the emptiness of the nature of Buddhism in the real experience and propagating it truthfully.
In short, the origin of law and law, the essence of law and law are empty, and the origin (existence) and essence are empty. The two are different and complement each other. After we understand the "karma" of Buddhism, we think that everything is dominated by karma. Things in the world are incredible. Fate is like an invisible frequency. If the frequencies are the same, they can be connected to each other; if the frequencies are different, they cannot be connected. The same is true of the fate between people, and those who have the fate feel at first sight. If there is no fate and you don't like it at first sight, you can't get along. It can also be understood that everyone's magnetic field is different. If the magnetic field is the same, it will be easy to get along with. If the magnetic fields are different, they will repel each other, and then they can't get along. These are all the same reasons.
Fate is fate, without any explanation or reason. The fate of mankind is also a causal relationship. There are "three generations of causality" in Buddhism. The fate of life, whether it is evil fate, good fate, love fate, favorable fate, adverse fate, etc. It is the result of accumulation and sentiment of many generations. Therefore, in this world, everything can't be smooth sailing and everything goes well. There will always be some troublesome and unhappy things bothering us. How to face it? If we can adapt to the environment, our troubles will gradually disappear.
People in the world really need fate to communicate with others. Since ancient times, there have been many things that are doomed to be inseparable. In this world, fate comes and goes like water. Fate can make strangers meet, which is called meeting by chance. It can also make familiar people strange, which is called running water heartless. Fate is like glue, and parting is like glue. Therefore, we who study Buddhism should always be tolerant and grateful. People should become attached to each other and break up.
The so-called fate here is not casual, but should be natural, not resentful, not impatient, not excessive, not demanding; Not casually, but seize the opportunity, not pessimistic, not rigid, not flustered, not complacent; On the contrary, it is a philosophy, free and easy, and it is the cultivation of human feelings. What is fate? Everything in the world has the possibility of meeting, accompanying and sharing. Fate is possible, but it is impossible without opportunity. Fate is everywhere, all the time. You, me and him are all in the network of fate. As the saying goes, there are thousands of miles to meet, but we have never met. Thousands of miles away, in a foreign country, strangers even smile at you. This is destiny. There are people who have been in love for a long time, but they will never meet again. This is not an opportunity.
Fate, gathering and dispersing, beginning and ending. Some people lamented: "All good things must come to an end. Since we are going to break up, why get together? " Fate is a kind of existence and a process. "I can't go because of fate, and a breeze sends white clouds." Life has something to ask for, what I ask for and what I like; I don't care if I asked for it. If so, where will there be trouble in life? Suffering comes with fate, gains and losses come with fate, working with the attitude of "joining the WTO" and harvesting with the attitude of "being born", which is the highest realm of life with fate.
Suiyuan is a kind of wisdom, which can make people still have a quiet mind and a cool head in a fanatical environment; Fate is a kind of cultivation, a kind of vicissitudes, an experience of reading human feelings and an epiphany of overdraft life. It is true that following fate is not unprincipled, unprincipled or careless. "karma" needs many conditions to be mature before it can be established. If you can follow karma without violating the truth, it is called karma. In life, people often have such feelings and puzzles: why do some people dislike me, why do some people not understand me, and why do some people treat me so well? Why is this happening? If you look at it from the perspective of fate, you don't need any reason to dislike it, and you don't need any reason to like it; Understanding does not need any reason, and not understanding does not need any reason; You don't need any reason to be so kind to me. Fate is fate, without any reason.
Let nature take its course, don't resent, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, don't insist, don't be pessimistic, don't panic, don't be excessive, don't be indifferent, don't be persistent, don't hate, and don't be offside-this is karma. There are many people in the world, so it can be said that everything must be fixed, such as happiness, love, official, business, happiness, popularity, wealth, opportunity, good and evil. Everything follows fate, follows nature and is not persistent. This is a kind of consciousness spirit that we need for a happy life. Suiyuan is a peaceful attitude towards life and a realm of Zen. Gu Deyan: Eat while eating and sleep while sleeping. Everything has changed. If you don't ask for the former, don't think about the latter, be calm, be natural and open-minded, follow your heart, follow your feelings, follow your reason, and be happy, you will know that everything is Zen. In this busy vanity fair, if you can always have a moment of leisure, relax, meditate and work hard for a long time, you will realize your true colors after putting aside relationships, that is, the lively, splashing, quiet and unpolluted Bodhi consciousness. Therefore, people's acquisition of fate depends not on struggle and creation, but on instinctive wisdom.
Buddhism often talks about karma. What exactly is karma? The average person's understanding of karma is relatively negative. When encountering setbacks, I always tell myself "Let it be!" What is fate? The simplest understanding is karma. Everything is born for a reason, and everything is destroyed for a reason. Everything in the world is a combination of karma. In fact, life itself is a big reason, but people often "don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, just because they are in this mountain". Fate is accompanied by a life attitude like law. Buddhists often talk about following fate, and there are some sayings such as "following fate unchanged, unchanged following fate" and "following fate without climbing".
Therefore, "following fate" is not a casual action and following the trend, but a response to the current environmental causes and good advice; "Constant" is not sticking to the rules and sticking to one's own opinions, but choosing the good and sticking to it. Fate remains unchanged, that is, we will not obscure our position and lose our principles. As the saying goes, "No rules, no Fiona Fang." Therefore, to be a man in the world, although we should be reasonable and harmonious, we should also take the law of cause and effect as the principle, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort and follow the fate without violating it.
Fate is accompanied by a kind of mind, a kind of consciousness, a kind of confidence and grasp. People who can follow the fate can always judge the situation when the situation changes, and can be relaxed in a difficult and bumpy life; Always find the way forward in adversity and keep a calm and happy mood. Fate is accompanied by a correct and sober understanding of reality, spiritual freedom after a thorough understanding of life, and a philosophical view of "gathering and parting is fate". So, if you can have a fatalistic heart, you will find whether the sky is cloudy or sunny; No matter whether the road of life is bumpy or smooth, there will always be a calm and peaceful heart. Therefore, in life, if you can adhere to the principle of truth and follow the right path in small details, you will naturally be free without losing the right path.
In this way, following fate is a healthy state of mind, an artistic conception and an attitude towards life. From a deeper level, following fate is a way of thinking to treat people with things. In other words, following fate is a concept of acting with the development of the situation, a manifestation of advancing with the times and an optimistic attitude towards a happy life. "Caigen Tan" said, "Everything is fate, and everything goes with the flow." When we are born in the world, we must learn to live together for life. Only in this way can we live comfortably.
