This article is switched from with meaning and logic of strict Discovery!
(The following is based on transcripts of Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, the contents of discovery in the North, including in English, for your reference. Chinese translation of reference for Mr. Yao Renxi complete translation of the site, just do a bit of adjustment. In addition, the recording does not include Rinpoche brief opening remarks, but after all the content already included. because of the effect of recording is not entirely satisfactory, and the individual level is limited, so inevitably there will be omissions, in this first repent!)
(... Rinpoche's opening remarks ...)
Master Monk when I learned that during the search for truth, diligence and determination, he made the sacrifice with the patience that is almost people can not imagine. If you ask me Buddhism in today's society, what role, I think it has a great effect. Is not necessarily a religious aspect, but as a tool to find the truth. Some may think that Buddhism originated in India, so other places such as China, there is no significant relationship. I think that fact is not to say, I want to leave this subject, Professor Scharf talk in the afternoon. I want to talk about
Buddhist insight. Because insight is what drives us. Knowledgeable about Buddhism in my Before we talk about why Buddhism? This question is very easy to answer, in fact, can do anything, why should we science? Why do we have technology? Why do we want anything? Why Buddhism it? Because basically we all want fun. We all want to be happy, we all want fun, fun, and is a kind of continuous, preferably cheaper, but also can carry. We do this with other things, whether it is science and technology are the same, no matter what we do, we are always looking for fun. Of course, different definitions of fun. Different beings, different cultures, different countries, different generations have different definitions. So fun to search for tools and methods is different.
According to the Indian prince Siddhartha, according to him, and why we would not have continued fun things? Because of one thing, we always look at a thing, we have been looking at a false / false things, unreliable and uncertain things. And we think it is the truth, we think it is absolutely true. This is his (Siddhartha) that the so-called basic ignorance. This is in fact completely and religion. I think we totally talking about science.
If you want to have a pair of Italian leather shoes, if someone tells you that you wear a double fake. That you will suffer, you had the courage to wear a pair of fake shoes comfortably, most of us can not do this. The Prince of India, the search for truth is his greatest pursuit.
when he was in the palace, when he was still in the palace, he saw Laobing Si, when he heard Laobing Si is inevitable and will occur in every body, he naturally to want to solve that problem. Of course, if there are problems, we immediately intuitive reaction is to solve that problem. So he escaped from the palace, leaving his throne, left his family because his family was against the idea of his pursuit of the truth.
Buddhists would say, he finally found the truth. This is not to say that the Buddha found a way, so we do not die; not say whether he found a protective skin lotion, so we will not have wrinkles. Finally, realize that you must accept this truth, when you accept this truth, you will not suffer. He later sought to teach the truth to his students, to make us more receptive and understanding, so we put these truths into several categories. So do a lot of truth classification, there are many ways to trend into this truth in the unfortunate things happen, these methods later became known as Buddhism. Rinpoche think this is very unfortunate, because then we become very attracted by this method, not the truth itself.
question everyone will ask is: Why should these tools? This is a challenging problem, I will give you two examples. If the glass is filled with pure water, and then you are looking for water to drink, this cup of water is full of glass to glass edge, you will not see the water because the water is too transparent. You will not see water, to make you see the water, how do we do? We put a little bit of water pollution, so the yellow color to help you see the water, so in Buddhism, you can see all of these methods, but something similar to the staining. So, all these Buddhist in the way, if I can directly say, are false, they are not the real truth. But if you ask me, these methods are useful? Very useful! Without these methods, you will not see it, but the problem is that we are this color to attract, rather than water.
If so, you might ask, why Prince Siddhartha to teach so many ways of Buddhism? If the threat of the gun, others force you have to say the sky is red, or the sky is green. You have no choice but to say that, yes, the sky is green. But you know my heart, in fact, not green day. This is the time of the Buddha taught that all teaching mood, he had no choice, although no one holding a gun at him, and he had no choice, of course, the Buddhists would say that he has great compassion.
Let us assume, dreaming of you now is a nightmare. You sleep with the tiger, you scared. To come out from this nightmare, you can take a few methods, we keep the tigers away, this is also a good way. But there is a better way is a bucket of cold water, but you think about it, the two methods are not right. Why? Because the bucket of cold water poured on your head and not get rid of any tiger, the tiger here simply do not. You're dreaming! So the Buddhist approach is usually like this. You still would like to thank the bucket of cold water, because it is good for you, you are grateful for that bucket of water is good, because next time you dream, you have to know how to do.
Now, let's talk about insight. As previously mentioned, the insight is what drives our behavior, everything. Insight is an idea or concept. In our modern society, there is a thoughtful, sport utility vehicles and BMW cars that are good. Or, slim body is good. This is insightful. Again have a vow or motive, of course, is subject to the control of motivation. In the absence of publicity under those fashion magazines, in fact, the beginning of a lot of people do not want to slim motivation. Because of the constraints of these magazines, so many people want to become slim, and that is a good idea to become slim. This is what became of their truth. So how do? You want to become slim. Have you read a book on how to become slim, go the gym, basically this is the repair. Another thing, do not eat rice, running, ah, eat a variety of herbs or tea to lose weight, this is the line. So thoughtful is very important. I now want to share with you the four proposed Siddhartha insightful.
first, he found that no matter when and where things are made of any harmony impermanent.
Even if the two things together in harmony in this action, the act itself uncertain. The shape has changed, and the color has changed, the size has changed. Although this sounds simple, but not easy to accept. I will tell you a popular Theravada Buddhism example.
Buddha said that each time you look at your hands, you made three mistakes: the first you see it as a whole, not parts. You do not tell people that I can hold your blood vessels, bones and skin? And you think this is a hand. We usually things as a whole. In fact, there is no so-called hand, but a lot of molecular combinations. Second, we believe that today's hand is the hand yesterday, and yesterday's hand is today's hand. You are the same hand in hand. This is not a fact. If today's hand is the hand yesterday, and that all the skin care lotion company had no business. Although not as good as the day we saw this hand one day, getting worse, we also think that this is the same hand. The third mistake was that we believed it (hand) is independent, its existence does not depend on anything else. The more we talk about later. Buddha found the basic error insight to guide us in the suffering, how so? Do you think this will continue, do you think this is permanent, then how do you do? You become attached to it, you do not think that one day this thing will be in the coffin. So you run around the world, want to protect this thing. Even the Buddhists do, they went to the teacher, asking him for blessing this thing, it health and longevity. I can tell you a joke. For the Chinese, longevity is a very important thing, is not it? Because we often see old man holding a peach in the picture. As just mentioned, the Italian leather shoes is a fake example, we own the truth to myself and opened out, so let's not necessary to be subject to a number of bitter, so I remember we started talking about it? Fun fun so we can not, because we are busy to take care of this stuff (hand). Now let us turn directions to look. Buddha's first insights: everything is impermanent, this is not like a lot of people see it, a bad thing. In fact, impermanence is a very good news. If getting your hands dry, you should buy the skin care lotion. Why? Because of impermanence, so the skin care lotion is really useful. If you are not a millionaire, thanks to impermanence, because you can become a millionaire.
so understanding the impermanence of the Buddha's insight is very important not to think of it as a religious threat, and said, oh ... ... you do not work hard, you'll go to hell. According to this truth, we need to develop an attitude to accept the truth. In order to understand this truth, there are many, many ways, and cultivating a relationship with the line between the two. If you go to Burma or Thailand, you see where the monks shaved their heads. Shaved head to remind you that this behavior is to have this matter is uncertain, not to say that the Buddha on the long hair allergies. He then imposed on the system that you want to be a Buddhist, you have to shave their heads, all these ceremonies just to take you to the truth. But as I said before, we too obsessed with these rituals, so forget impermanence. Let us return to the beginning of the question: Why Buddhism? The short answer is, so we can have long-term, cheap fun you can carry. How to do this thing? Necessary to understand the harmony of all things are impermanent, and to accept such a thing through. Even if some people wish long life, or from another point of view, even if you are going through the most depressing period of time, too.
I do not know whether this Chinese saying: When Prince Siddhartha in the pursuit of the truth when, in thinking about how to find the truth. He was in fact very real, and all his teachings are very practical. I am sure that when Prince Siddhartha in meditation, he has enough wisdom to those around well studied deer ah, elephants, ah, what they eat. But a groundbreaking study on the deer's digestive system at most only a few deer to help it. He wanted to inquire is the root of all problems, he realized that the first question is, because we do not know all the harmony of things are impermanent, all things are so, not an exception.
Next is the second insight. All this pain come from? Not only the pain of those heavy, such as headaches, stomach pain ah. Basically, is that we humans seek in talking about the pain, and must always live with uncertainty. We have been living in an uncertain state, just like the next moment we can see our friends and family do? Hard to say. That what is this? The basic reasons for the pain? Siddhartha did not say, oh, he found a galaxy away from the evil forces invade us, so we will like this. Without this so-called evil around them in what we create pain for us, because he found the relationship between the ego, so all of flow, all the emotions as long as the Executive, directly or indirectly has a relationship with me, it will bring pain. All our emotions, including love, hate, jealousy come from ego. This is a great discovery. As humans, we like to blame others. According to the second insight, you can not blame anyone, if you want to blame, then we should blame this habit of the ego. This study is a big Buddhist theme, we have heard a lot about Buddhism without my teaching. But I want to tell you is that a thing, not because the Buddha found that the self is evil, so that clinging to the self is wrong, totally not like that. So once again want to say is, the second insight is completely non-religious. But again, unfortunately, that the method of reflection without me become very religious. Siddhartha is not to say that the evil of self,cheap UGG boots, he never said, clinging to the self will take you to the pain. In fact, he found that there is no self, so self-obsessed is wrong. This is why we suffer. This is very important because we Buddhists often say, oh, I'm very self, I am selfish, so we often judge ourselves, but in a very ethical or religious approach to critique themselves.
he said, in fact, cause everything, everything is the origin. He basically said that ignorance is equal to the ego this matter. You see a thing, this thing is actually composed by a number of temporary things, but you think it is another thing. Like this table, have the legs, have the desk board, a combination of all things. Then became a table. Hop things together, to become a thing.
Perhaps we all know this trick, but I will demonstrate a trick to show you. I can only use English to demonstrate.
(Rinpoche, a piece of paper write: 12 13 14. and then said, pointing to 13, you will say what is this? you would say 13. If the paper upside down, 13 to become a B . Why is that? because A and C. When the 13 in the middle of 12 and 14, do you think it is 13. However, in the middle of A and C, it becomes a B.)
course, you can Siddhartha never to argue this, you definitely can not directly accept on the surface. According to the Buddha, any and all things are and the 13 or B, as anything that, in a combination of state to do a role again in the role of the other things it, it becomes other things.
If we (the table) covered with mattresses, blankets and pillows, it becomes a bed. If you cut it into pieces in the kitchen, it becomes firewood. He believes the so-called self-13 and B with exactly the same as this. Basically, we were looking at some things from the combination of several things, shape, feel, etc. ... ... In Buddhism, this is a big topic.
I believe many people have read the Heart Sutra. Sex is zero, Kongjishise. No eyes, no ears, no nose, etc. ... ... basically according to the Buddha, from the combination of several elements which make you self-concept, in fact, this does not exist. And we are obsessed with these things, this is really ridiculous. It sounds simple, but really want to battle and self-concept is very difficult. Why? Because the self is an old habit. In fact even if very difficult to quit, but smoking still is a relatively new habit. Because when you just born, you are not holding a cigarette out from the womb. But ego is a very old habit. Why? Basically, as I have said, several elements together, you think yourself. So we went to the construction of many hiding places for themselves,Discount UGG boots, let themselves feel comfortable,Bailey UGG boots, safe and effective. Like money, rights, influence and friendship. It is important that a great thing, because there is no self, no economy to speak of. Buddha said if truly viable, and most people do struggle with self-made, the market will collapse, because there is no sense of security. There is no sense of insecurity, there is no business at all. We must all know that. Although I do not understand business sense, but it looks this is the essence of the business. Those businesses a lot of people to teach us what we should have but did not. To make this non-existent self feel more comfortable and safer, so that does not exist in the self more comfortable in the process, from the larger scale of view, we destroyed our own world, such as the environment and so on. Each of us this way, in smaller scale, even between friends and family, we say that we love them, this is actually because we love our always on, so we will love them. We want them on the shelf, you can always take it and use. This is basically the second Buddha found insightful. As mentioned earlier, which is not a religious color, but also independent of any moral ethics. However, in Buddhism there are many professors of moral ethics, Buddhism has a complete theme, such as law. All of these are designed to know the truth, as mentioned earlier, at gunpoint, you will say the sky is red, all of which channel is the Buddha himself taught.
Diamond Sutra in Chinese culture is very popular, so one of them you remember, the Buddha said that if the body to see me, is the wrong recipe. He said that the Buddha did not exist a good friend,UGG shoes, true. Of course, this is difficult to understand, and we very much hope that a savior, an object is used as the savior of blame and prayers. When all possible is gone, we will want to. For the Buddhist, yes, we talked about the Buddha, we are talking about golden statue of Buddha. Because we like gold, no one has ever spoken like a charcoal color of the Buddha, even if we see the Buddha of the lover, are all skillful means. We are talking about the truth itself is Buddha, Buddha is not in addition to the truth than the truth colorless and invisible, it is not of bronze.
but in a way, we need people interested in the truth. If you love someone, you want to make him happy, and you want to give him the cause of happiness, so you can do anything he will lead the cause of happiness thing. I want to talk about the Buddha's compassion. Compassion is the hope that they can understand the truth. But the truth colorless invisible, from the general level, the truth is bitter.
Ren three days ago when I was in India, participated in a very grand wedding. You can not go to the couple said before, you know that? One day you will die. You can not say, you're both, so you will always fight, for ideas, or discord, and so inconsistent. In particular, they had never met. Therefore, in order to convey the truth, you make the truth look very attractive, this is the Buddhists began to paint the Golden Buddha, the occasion, and later development to more complex things, because some people like blue, so now the blue one day Buddha , some people like coral, so care Buddha Amitabha is the kind of red coral color.
even if we talk about the convenience or method, if the convenience is really easy, it would have an element of truth will lead you. For example, one of the Buddha's virtues, like the gold, we Buddhists are proud to Does the body is golden, or ear down to the shoulders. Then you think about it, seriously speaking, would you really with such a man date? You will be very proud to introduce you to your friend the body is golden ears down to the shoulder of the boyfriend? All of these Buddhist symbols, if they so pure, all in order to attract you and lead you to truth. As long as you are limited to these colors and shapes, you will be limited harmony of things.
