Chapter 146: Salvation
Many people, considering themselves lofty, read a few books and spew out theories, yet haven’t even graduated primary school, acting like some master professor.
When they encounter something they don’t understand, or something different from their cognition, they immediately jump out and say, “You’re wrong! This sutra says this, and that sutra says that, the seventh consciousness should be used like this, and the eighth consciousness is dealt with like that.”
Guess if people like this, speaking from their own perspective, have any cultivation?
If a person without cultivation tells you how to cultivate, and you manage to cultivate clearly, then pigs would be able to fly.
Boys don’t like self-righteous people. Boys like those who have their own opinions but are not stubborn, because such people can politely absorb other nutrients and use them for themselves.
Encountering stubborn people and ignoring them is like a big fly, buzzing and crashing into you. The fly swatter was invented for a reason; it’s not always a murder weapon for taking life, sometimes it can be a magical artifact for subduing demons, or a divine tool for salvation.
It depends on what state of mind you’re in when you use it. When using it, you might think, “Damn it, you’re annoying me, you fly, you’ve made me so angry, I’m going to kill you.”
Then it becomes a murder weapon. When you strike, you also harm yourself because you’ve become angry.
Switch to another mode: “Hahaha, little fly, be good, quickly go out, don’t disturb me. I’m afraid I might accidentally harm you. Be obedient and go quickly.”
After all that effort, it still doesn’t leave and keeps crashing into you. Either you endure it, without any irritability, and don’t take it seriously.
If you can’t stand it; cough cough cough.
“Little fly, what did you say? You want this humble monk to save you? Alas… Well said, well said. Alright then, may you soon ascend to the Pure Land.”
“Buzz buzz buzz…”
“Splat!”
“Namo. Amitabha. Tathagata. Thus have I heard. Thus it was once delivered in the presence of the Buddha. On one occasion the Blessed One was living at Savatthi in the Jeta Grove, an donation of Anathapindika. And there the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: ‘Bhikkhus, I will teach you the Dhamma. Listen to me and I will tell you.'”
Alright, this humble monk has recited the sutras for you, that’s enough. Go now.
If they can understand human speech, say a couple of words. If they can’t, let them go wherever they came from. They are endless. Isn’t it obvious they want to be saved? Is there any need to ponder this?
Buddhist Dharma’s compassion doesn’t work, so let’s use Daoist methods of going with the flow, hahaha.
Just blast it, er! No, I mean satisfy it. Hmm? Not quite. I mean, yahahaha, must help it to salvation and send it to the Pure Land to enjoy some blessings.
Hehehe…
Actually, some people can recite a few words about cultivation, read many sutras, talk about their powerful magical abilities and miraculous effects, and then still be attached to something, letting their minds wander, getting caught up in discernment or arguments.
Their concentration is clearly at the level of an expert old professor.
Being led around by their own thoughts, and they still have the nerve to argue about enlightenment.
Boys usually encounter these types, who, when you explain something they don’t understand, argue back.
Sometimes, on a whim, I’ll recite some ‘mala mi’ divine incantations to help them get saved. After all, someone as compassionate as a boy, haha, when necessary, will manifest the invincible Vajra Dharma Aspect to save others: “Mala mi, you big idiot, go wherever it’s cool! You idiot, get lost!”
Hahahaha, I can’t stop, I’ll laugh for a bit before writing.
Yahahahaha, hahahaha…
In the boy’s words: Where are all those sutras? What are these methods and those methods?
Nonsense talking bastards, just creating karma with discernment. Whatever form is created for you, your mind perceives that form.
True sutras, hahaha, have no characters. They have another name: experience! Or rather, it’s the journey of the true self’s soul.
Buddhist Dharma, in reality, has no ‘method’ either! The method of controlling the mind and using the mind is Buddhist Dharma!
The Original Heart is Buddha. The laws born from the Original Heart are Dao. Dao is the pattern of all things. The laws of the mind are Dao, because they can perceive all patterns and block all.
Manifests without Obstacles, Nirvana beyond Obstacles, refers to the immovable True Heart and True Nature, the True Self. When obstacles are encountered, it manifests and can be perceived. When the obstacle is gone, it hides back.
It hasn’t moved; it’s always been there, neither increasing nor decreasing, unborn and undying, not impure or pure, naturally complete.
The forms and karma created by the False Self are demons.
Inner demon, inner demon. If the mind is polished well, it becomes Buddha. If not understood clearly, and still controlled by one’s own thoughts, it becomes a demon.
Buddha and Demon are One, good and evil have the same source. Without good, there is no evil. Without evil, there is no good.
Knock down the discrimination between good and bad, rearrange it yourself. Once you understand this pattern, use your Original Heart, or a divine state, to control the change of good and evil thoughts.
La la la la, yahahahaha. Some big idiots who are self-righteous won’t see this part. Yahahahaha. And they’re always arguing about whether this cultivation is right or that cultivation is right, getting hung up on it.
Cows eat grass, tigers eat meat, monkeys eat big bananas. People are inherently different in their thoughts, understanding, and cognition. Yet, they insist on arguing desperately with their shallow cognition.
Hahahaha, I’m almost laughing my way to riches, yahahahaha.
They can’t even understand their own sutras, saying this sutra is right and that sutra is wrong, that this was said by a true Buddha, and that was said by a demon. Hehehe, it’s all what you yourself said, or heard. You haven’t cultivated anything yourself.
What kind of cultivation is this? And they say controlling thoughts with thoughts is wrong, this is wrong, that is wrong. You haven’t cultivated it yourself, so how can you not say it’s wrong! It’s like the sour grapes syndrome of an ostrich.
Where is right or wrong? When you get caught up in whether it’s right or wrong, you’ve already gone wrong. If something is wrong, let it be right.
Similarly, it’s the same sword. If you hold it, it’s just scrap metal. In someone else’s hands, it becomes a treasure.
Instead of finding the reason within oneself, blaming the sword, it’s truly hilarious.
Salvation always saves the mind. Big idiots think they can transform someone into their desired form, and think reading text has power. That is called symbolic representation, similar to burning incense, worshipping Buddha, and offering flowers. It’s a method of helping others.
What is cultivated is always the power of thought, hahaha, not the incantation itself. When you concentrate on the thought, the Dharma comes naturally. Chanting an incantation is just attaching the thought to the incantation.
When a collective group thinks in one direction and believes, it forms a collective unconscious. This energy wave spreads good thoughts, purifying energy; that’s what it’s doing.
Where the people who leave are sent depends on where they are sent, meaning where the thought is directed. Good people, people hope they go to heaven, everyone wishes them to go to heaven, to wherever they go, this thought emits this good energy.
People wish bad people go to hell, so they think of bad people going to hell, imagining them suffering, being beaten, etc.
Whether bad people actually go there, we don’t know. When an idiot thinks about it, the idiot’s mind has already taken a trip there. Haha.
Letting yourself go is letting your mind go, not letting the mind suffer. All cultivation revolves around this Original Heart.
What is Buddha, what is Dao, what is the Universe, what is the light of nature, Original Heart, True Self, all sorts of messy names, in reality, they all cultivate the same thing.
Praying to the gods for my success.
Believing in myself, I can.
My family has an immortal watching over me.
Law of Attraction.
Heavenly soldiers and divine generals protect me.
Buddha protects me, demons protect me, Dao protects me, ghosts protect me.
Predestined in a past life, fought for in this life.
Hehehe, it’s all the same. This is Dharma, and also one of the methods for using spiritual power.
If I’m a god, then of course I’m not afraid of ghosts! Breaking the fear spell, yahahaha.
I want to eat it and taste what it’s like. Naturally, it runs away when it sees me.
If a god comes to show off, and I want to taste what a god is like, even the god has to run! If they’re a little slow, it’s no use, their shoes will be kicked off!
Yahahaha, the apex predator of the food chain, eating all things. Who wouldn’t be dazed upon seeing it?
What is good or bad, it’s all here to help me cultivate. Borrowing from all things to cultivate.
