preface

Some of the lectures were interpreted according to Tiantai religion, while others were interpreted according to xianshou religion. In the Tiantai Sect founded by the master of Tiantai Sophists, the teachings of the generation of Tathagata were judged as  Teaching at five o'clock eight   with  Five o'clock  To determine the order of the Tathagata  Eight religions  To separate the Dharma and the ritual of saying. The first is Huayan, the second is ahan, the third is Fangdeng, the fourth is Prajna, and the fifth is the nirvana of fahua. During these five o'clock, eight religions were judged, These eight religions are  Tibetan education, general education, other education and round Education   yes  Four teaching methods   also  Dun religion, gradualism, secret religion and Adventism   yes  Four teaching methods of chemistry and instrument   All in all  Eight religions  These eight religions were preached by Buddha in five different periods.

In these five periods, there were  Five seasons and five flavors  In order to explain the Dharma and the mechanism that Buddha taught. sunrise  First of all, the mountains    Second photo Valley    The back shines on the plain   And the sun shining on the plain is divided  Eating time    Yuzhongshi    middle  Three times, it's called  Five o'clock   At five o'clock  Sunrise, bright, normal, oblique and return   Five flavors  Milk, cheese, raw crispy, cooked crispy, crispy   this  Five seasons and five flavors  For example, Buddhism's teaching methods in these five periods were born in order, and the opportunities they taught were also well-developed; So we talk about this  Teaching at five o'clock eight  You have to know that  Five seasons and five flavors  

First, Huayan period

After the Buddha became a Buddha, he first talked about the Huayan Sutra. There are three versions of the Huayan Sutra: upper, middle and lower. In our world, there is only one lower version. The upper and middle versions are all preserved in the Dragon Palace. When Bodhisattva Longshu had learned all the characters in the world, he went to the Dragon Palace to read Tibetan scriptures; This is what he recited in the Dragon Palace. Because Longshu Bodhisattva has such a talent that he can never forget, he went to the Dragon Palace to read the Huayan Sutra, read it once, and then passed this down to the world.

Then the Buddha said that the Huayan Sutra lasted for twenty-one days. Only the Bodhisattvas could see and hear the great Huayan in these twenty-one days; What can't be seen or heard by Xiaocheng, Luohan and bhikkhu. so-called  Lucerne is out of sight  Although he had eyes, he couldn't see the Buddha's body,  If you have ears, you don't hear about yuandunism  There are also ears in the sound, smell and sense of fate of the Mahayana, but the Mahayana Dharma mentioned by Buddha can not be heard. Therefore, in this period, Sakyamuni Buddha said that the Huayan sutra was only the mahasa, the great Bodhisattva in all ten directions, who had enlightened this great Bodhisattva. Therefore, in Hua Yan's time, in the transformation method, he was talking about the round teaching and the other teaching; In Yu Hua Yi, Hua Yan Jing belongs to Dunjiao, but it is also gradually taught.

In the period of Hua Yan  Five flavors  What is the metaphor? analogy  Milk from cattle  And milk comes out of the cow. Because milk has just been taken from the cow, it has a lot of energy and is very nourishing, so it is like the Huayan period.

stay  Five o'clock, five photos  What does it look like?  If the sun comes out at the beginning of the day, it will shine on the mountains first  It's like when the sun is about to come out, it will shine on the high mountain first. Because the mountain is high, the sun will shine on the mountain first. What is the analogy? For example, the Dharma mentioned by the Buddha is like the sun. If you tell the Bodhisattva first, the Bodhisattva is like all the mountains. Because the Bodhisattva is the highest among all living beings, it is like a mountain. This is what the first time said about Huayan. What was said in the first period  Hua-yen ” It's the Mahayana sutra of Dafang Guangfo.

Second, ahanshi

I said it at the second time  Agama ”   Agama ” It's Hindi, translated into Chinese  Incomparable method  There is no such law; That is, all the Dharma of the outside world can not be compared with this dharma. It is higher than all other dharmas. In ahan, what the Buddha preached was all about  Jing, LV, Lun  According to the doctrine of Sanzang, there is life and death  Karma, four truths  Law; So ahanshi belongs to  Sanzang religion  , also called  Tibetan religion  

stay  Five flavors  In terms of ahan period, what is it like? It's like  From milk to cheese  From the milk, the cheese came out again. this  Cheese  It is a kind of thing extracted from milk, which is quite suitable for children to eat. stay  Five o'clock  Speaking of it, it seems that the sun is more than ten feet high;  The sun shines first on the mountains, then on the valleys  Now it's all the darkest places in the valley. In the valley, where the sun just came out and couldn't shine, then the sun would be tens of feet high, and the valley could be seen. In other words, all of them can understand Buddhism; The most stupid people can understand this dharma.

Third, Fang isochron

The third is  Fang isochron    square  It's the four sides,  etc.  It is equality; The classics mentioned by Fang et al. Belong to Fang's department. In the method of transformation, Fang etc. belongs to general education. How to call it general education? Because of it  Through the front, after, through Datong small  It is not only connected with the Tibetan education of the Mahayana in front, but also in the other teaching of the Mahayana in the back; That is, it leads to the front  Agama ” And then to the back  Prajna   General education is the beginning of Mahayana, just about to enter the Mahayana; this  justice and equity  It belongs to the general education, through the triple ride to learn together.

Fang et al. In terms of the five flavors, it is equivalent to the raw crisp extracted from the cheese; This kind of raw crispy, which can be eaten by both children and adults, has no harm. stay  Five o'clock  For example  Eating time  The sun is about nine to ten in the morning; The mountain is also shining, and the flat land is also shining. This is a metaphor that the Mahayana can learn and the Mahayana can learn. Both the Mahayana and the Mahayana can study this classic.

Fourth, Prajna time

The fourth period is about  Prajna   What religion does Prajna belong to? In HUAFA, Prajna belongs to other teachings. Don't teach me. This is the first gate of Mahayana. I'm just going to get inside the Mahayana. What do you call it  Don't teach   Because of it  Don't go before or after  , compared with the previous  Agama ”   justice and equity  There is a difference between the two  Fahua, Nirvana  There are also differences; It is again  Don't be small or big  That is, with the front  Tibetan religion    General education  There is a difference, and the back  Yuan Jiao  There are also differences, so called  other   So don't teach is the end of Mahayana  Pay for teaching transfer  At the same time; Transfer of education is the right to transfer to Sansheng; Paying money is to prepare to speak of the Dharma's perfect Dharma Mahayana.

"Prajna  Don't teach this, from  Five flavors  Speaking, it is equivalent to refining a kind of cooked crisp from raw crisp; This kind of cooked crisp is quite suitable for adults to eat, so don't teach is the first door of Mahayana. This is a metaphor that only Quan Jiao Bodhisattva with Mahayana root can learn the Prajna method of Dun religion. Another example is  Yuzhongshi  It's like the sun is between ten and eleven in the morning; This is the sun shining on the earth, but it is not yet noon. It will be noon.

What is it called  Prajna  What about it? Prajna is Sanskrit because it has three meanings  More content, no more   also  Respect does not change  Because Prajna is noble, so I don't turn.

Prajna has three meanings. What are these three meanings? There are:  1) The text Prajna, (2) contemplation of Prajna, (3) Prajna of reality.

(1) Words Prajna  This text Prajna is about all, including all sutras  Scripture, law and theory all belong to Prajna. Don't misunderstand that this character is the word of the world, this is the word of the world, not the word of the world; There is no Prajna in the words of the world. It can only be said that it is the wisdom of the world.

(2) Observe Prajna   view  It's visualization,  mirror  It's Mingzhao. Contemplate and contemplate with wisdom and all dharmas. It's like the Heart Sutra says:  When guanzizi Bodhisattva went deep Prajna Prajna prajnamita, he could see that the five implications were empty  This is it  mirror   Observe; Look at the wisdom of the truth of reality. You use your wisdom to observe this Prajna.

(3) Prajna of reality  What is it  the ultimate essence of things    There is no phase in reality  There is no form at all, but it has all the forms and contains all the forms; All the forms are from this  Aphasia  Come out, so this is it  the ultimate essence of things  Prajna. Therefore, with the Prajna of words, the Prajna of contemplation comes into being; To achieve the Prajna of self nature by observing Prajna is called Prajna  Prajna  .
