Ty hours Huineng born February 8th day of the year Mau Tuat (638) in Tan Chau, Made Consul Male. When his birth, there are two monks to the house he was named Hui Neng. His father asked why HueNang set? The monk replied, "Hue means please bring French charity to all beings, that Power is supposed to be the Buddha." So his name is Hui Neng Lu. He is the father of Sports Tourism, national origin in the land Duong Pham was demoted, save the country as Consul Male civilians, his mother Li. Early death of his father, mother, relatives orphans moved through the origin Nam Hai, bitterness, poverty and lack of firewood to sell at the market to feed her.

In 24 years (661) one day bring firewood delivery is complete, heard people chanting Kim Cang, his enlightenment, the chanting religious questions where, nguoiay reported practice with the Five Rings Hoang Dong Zen temple in the district Hoang Mai, U.S. European origin. There is a guest for 10 ounces of silver, sure use the money he arranged to accommodate elderly parents, Hoang Mai district and then to take the Fifth Patriarch ceremony.

After an appearance in the elderly mother to eat, go Huineng not exceed thirty days, to the Fifth Patriarch release. Fifth Patriarch asked, "where people, in order to demand more". Huineng replied: "Disciple civilians origin ConsulateMale, Remote holiday laiday me, just needs a Buddha, not for other expenses! "

Fifth Patriarch said: "The Consul MaleHow is everyone doing the same spoon Buddha ". Hui Neng replied," It is but a North, Malefor Buddha nature which is not North and South, close to the body spoon all the Venerable not, do not have the Buddha nature is more different? "

Fifth Patriarch also want to say again but found disciples around him, went sent to do duty. Huineng more sparse, "The disciple is often born of intellectual interest, not away from nature, that is blessed and then fill, not working or spending Venerable taught?" Fifth Patriarch said, "Oh man all this military base cranberry essence, only do not talk anymore, go to the horse crap."

Back to home after Hui Neng, Hui Neng is the wrong meals firewood, pounding rice has undergone more than eight months, one day the Fifth Patriarch saw Hui Neng, He says, "I saw the comments you can use, but fear e harm to others should not say to you, you know reasonable? " Huineng said: "A disciple should also know what He did not dare to come out ahead is for people not even know about."

One day The cry of the disciples and says: "The birth and death in life is great, you just worry that such work needs blessing from birth and death. What if the nature of the blessed mother how cuudang out reincarnation. ye back out, the wisdom of considering, get a mental emptiness his Prajna, each doing a verse, we consider the offer. If anyone realize the great idea, I will give Y and France for Friday are nesting. go away quickly, need to be hot as fire, not worth the delay. If they do not have to think dungduoc. unto he who sees, seeing the words will be found soon. person so as executioner swung generals broke ranks to war, that they know immediately. "

Everyone went back, and that there is only talking to the teacher Tudang Spirit is transmitted robe and bowl nasty legacy group, so people implied for Shen Tu to the shelf. I do think self shelf with the y center bowl is passed, it is bad for the home team did not do the extra notice.

In front of the auditorium of the Fifth Patriarch, have three roofs, thanks to his Phoenix office supply business disguises the flood Lankavatara and five feet of capacity from the primary Dat Ma to Ngu registration sheet circulated. Shen Tu also finished the verse several times to the teacher but also afraid, after four days with 13 times to the shelves of no significance, Spirit capacitors have written verses on the walls of the porch, if five Tothay, said to be the Tu received his Spirit, and if the Spirit Group mode will be in Mount Tu deep secrecy and hiding.

In the third watch the other night, Shen Tu write verse very south wall, the ideas from your mind:

Bodhi Body urban life

Intelligent mind like scenes radio

Waving their official time to

Tran who use animals.

Definition:
The body is the Bodhi Tree

Mind like a mirror show

Often when lo brushed clean

Do not close the dust container.

Fifth Patriarch morning they invited Lu to the Phoenix Palace south walls to paint, took the poem, The Phoenix said to the Palace: "The Supply Phoenix did not need painting again. Make him hard again this remote but experience has taught that: "Whenever something formless, are falsehoods." Just save the verse to recite it over and medical practitioners in this verse, oppressed from the evil path, y tu in this verse, which is beneficial big help. "

Fifth Patriarch sent his disciples immediately burning incense, and recite verses feast him, which will see the Nature. The disciples recite the shelf, are claps.

Go to the third watch that night, To cry Spirit from the district asked if the verse of the body from without? Tu received his Spirit is doing, not only demand made of the Fifth Patriarch would consider the valuation of his intellect.

To teach that God was Tu verse, it's not that Nature, not only invisible to the outside lane in the door. According to her place to see and understand where that bridge is not worth the supreme. He taught Shen Tu added, capital tubon the supreme mind, that self-responsibility nature he is born, not kill, do not delay, as natural as nature. The mind as the true course. If that is so natural character of the Supreme Director. Five Patriarch Shen Tu go back to thinking the other pair on the shelf to do, if the introduction will pass the medical team, bowl. The retreat ceremony Tu Than, the past few days did not do the verse, not walking alone, not the spirit of fun.

Two days later, a monk passed by pounding rice choHue Energy, was initiated proceedings verse, Huineng heard once that obligation is not immediately known character, but not am grateful to get the teaching life, but soon know the substance. Asked the monk: "What shelf procedure notes that?"

Monk said: "The origin spoon he did not understand it all. Grand Master he said: People in my life, birth and death is a big deal, he will want to transfer Y, French disciples to bring the shelf, if one treatment is the substance, he delivered Italy and France to nest Friday. Theravadins Shen Tu Nam wrote verse where walls ophia formless. Grand Master makes everybody proceedings, under the shelf that religious khoidoa evil path, there is great benefit . " Huineng said: "God mercy, I too want to recite that poem to grace the deep relationship. I've been pounding rice surplus over eight months, has not been to the front, would people go to the previous verse, to me lebai. "

Novice to the request immediately. Arrive, Huineng said: "I do not know the word, ask him to go because I read for." Special price related Lucay Chau Truong Giang Links Japan high voice. He HueNang listening to one said, "I also have a verse, bend forward the written Corner Special Price." Special Price said: "He also made shelves, the less real." Huineng turned to the Special Price said: "To learn not to despise the supreme beginners. Rank lower than the level sometimes on the same location. Tier top sometimes poor location. If they have people boundless contempt boundless sin. "

The Special Price said: "I recite the shelf, I write for. If you do not forget the legal, first of all I hear!"

Huineng said shelves:

Bodhi very life obligations

Proving non-radio scene herons

Bon Nhut hybrid material wealth

Tran Ha Made Who.

That is:

Capital Bodhi Tree

Also no mirrors radio show

Capital does not have anything.

Somewhere bottles gathering dust.

Verse finished, the disciples are afraid, no merit and no doubt, they say, "instead, which can not be taken to the general appearance. Why can dictate this Bodhisattva flesh!" To see all amazed, afraid of being hurt, then pulled away and beautiful because the verse says: "Nature is also not seen." Disciples to obey the Fifth Patriarch, for the case.

The next day at no group selection, to the price of rice, see Hui Neng because of illness, to wear to stand on the stone pestle pounding rice, he said: "The French Way because that needs to forget her so?" Then the team asked, "White Rice has retired yet?" Hui Neng clear that "white rice was retired long ago, just missing a sieve here." To obtain the 3 clubs down trees, and turned away, Hui Neng understand what the Fifth Patriarch.

Late night, sneaking into ventricular Huineng of NguTo, Group Health took cover around the Buddhist monk, for people outside could not see then The Diamond Sutra lecture, the question: "Where Should not born head on his mind . " Hui Neng heard, great awakening is probably: 'All the measures are not want to leave nature, went platinum with the group: "For where nature pure natural capital, to mark the nature of birth and death not natural capital, to mark nature it's full of natural capital, natural capital agreeable nature not move, to mark birth nature often want legal nature. "

To that Hui Neng enlightened nature of duties should be sure to add: "He who does not know her own mind, the school director in vain. Tunhien If anyone knows her own mind, the nature of natural obligation, which is annoying marketing call is the Master of Heaven macho , who is Buddha. "

Health Organization and teachings, Eight people or not. To teach that: "You do the smart life bestow taken Friday, please dorong beings, save for the next generation of evangelicals, do not let the finish off."

Fifth Patriarch then read a verse:

Lower them charming hybrid

Complete results Nhon place of birth

Heron species accidentally very

Indefinite nature heron unborn.

That is:

There happened to sow

Land Nhon births results

No love is not the same

Emptiness is not born.

Fifth Patriarch said: "In ancient times this land Bodhidharma not believe it, so Y is transmitted to believe, this life begin connecting the other died. In France, the transfer took care center, were made to get treatment , understand it. From ancient Buddhas only transmit to the exact representation, the Master awarded the underground to each her own mind. Do not mind that each picture, come home you do not begin again. Because if this is network TV Health risks such as silk this suspension. the color you should go f lest it harm. "

Hui Neng asked, "should go?" To teach: "Meet Hoai then stop, then met with the hidden."

Hui Neng territorial Y, Bat then but did not know the way to the river, To teach is to give away team.

Straight to the Fifth Patriarch Jiujiang station, and told HueNang boat, and he took an oar. Hui Neng clear: "Please sit Venerable New opera to be disciples." The Patriarch said: "I shall have the degree for you." Huineng continued: "At the Master level for love, when his provincial dolay. Level but is a language, but they did not use the same spot. Hui Neng was born in this place borders, not the right voice, the teacher French television, then nayda attained enlightenment, but only because of their nature take its time. "

The Patriarch said: "Is that, is it ... by the Buddha from this great person for the implementation, then you go home for three years, we would die. Now you go home for good luck, go to the strenuous Male, no sooner said so yet, to Buddhist difficult start. "

The transfer was Y Hui Neng, Bat in New Rooster (661), from different organizations to travel south, in two months Collectibles Mt. The back has a few hundred people to rush to dispose of Medicine and the Bat. In four there Tran Hue Minh City, which is a martial monk of the four products should be vulgar nature. Hue Minh City is the head of the men who seek Huineng, keep up the Hue Minh City, Hui Neng to Y, Bat stones down and said: "Italy is only to make the sign message, lowering the star should struggle? " Then Huineng hidden in dense grass. Hue Minh City to collect rush to get Y, but not move Bat. The shouted: "Oh yogi! For France but I have since Y chochang that castle."

Hearing this, went left Huineng hiding place, and sat cross-legged in the rock. Hue Minh City ceremony and said, "We hope that practitioners because I preached to hear." Huineng said: "You as France but should come up off the coast, do not bear a thought at all pleased; we will hear it clear to the people", then after a while, waiting for a bar sedimentation Hue Minh City Net new He said: "Not thinking of good, no evil thought, in the meantime the new understanding of the future obligation bothered item HueMinh Venerable".

Hue Minh City listened to great awakening, inquired further: "Tutruoc far outside the security word closed due attention generated, there is reasonable security any more attention?" Hui Neng replied. "What I told him it was not a secret, if his own reflection in the gist is his secret that!" Hue Minh said: "Hue Minh City but was never in Hoang Mai commented out section of his presence. Now thanks be represented as the only drinking water, cold or warm themselves they came. Now he is master of Hue Minh". Huineng said, "so it is with me Hoang Mai Him as Teacher, be smart holders get their own." Hue Minh City asked: "From now on, this should go xunao Hue Minh City?" Hui Neng replied, "met with then stop, then meeting in Mongolia." HueMinh farewell ceremony. Hue Minh City and then back the other crowd, tell them no sign, they turn to another direction. Hue Minh City later changed his name to Dao Ming.

Then Huineng was to create virtually village, Thieu Chau district, no one knows where to hide. When he had Liu Chi Combs, Surat offers post-Confucian, Chi Brief has the effect that she is the nun often chanting Tibetan Endless Nirvana. Master heard immediately know that mystery, came to hear hypothesis. Nun holding text book in question. Master security illiterate, but kept asking me explain the meaning. The nun said: "The word did not even know how to understand the meaning" Sunoi: "The reason such mysteries of Buddha relation to writing."

Nun surprised and tell people that: "These people understand Dao, so sometimes offerings."

His childhood in the village with her 5 Salary Cao Cao's life and Thy people together in close races worship the Master. Contemporary, Tao Khe village has an old temple called Bao Lam end of his life because victim Depending infantry fire was Debo, people take the procession went on in that Division. This temple is also his former Tri Cao Most people are admonished to be created and claimed: "This way of one hundred and seven more decades would have been enlightened Supreme Dhamma here, who enlightened eastern forests, not cut it signal is located in Bao Lam. " Temple finished taking the Section Thieu European Central Glass is composed almost rises court papers said, by King Liang emperor to sign the standard words of the Bao Lin Temple, which is the third year crown Director (504).

Huineng live here than nine months, again with some hunting, Su fled to the mountain front, they burned the mountain but were lucky to escape Division, remembered what the Fifth Patriarch taught: Meet Hoai then stop , met with the hide is why I went to the district Sihui hide hunters in the crowd. In the crowd of hunters, he said that the discretion to them, when wrong to keep four net hunters, whenever the animals fall into, he will drop out. At each meal, just get the vegetables in the pot and eat meat. There is another question, then replied, "Just eat the vegetables and meat." Over fifteen years, to one day he thought, should be preaching at this time, can not hide anymore.

Nature went away to France Pagoda in Guangzhou, the 8th January equalizer (675), met at Indian Tribe Master lectures Nirvana. Khiay wind stirs the leaves, with two men argue with each other up, guys for "wind activity," people "Oriental" no one who succumbed. Huineng step to say that: "There is the wind moving, not PhuongDong, it is the thought of moving." To everybody's surprise.

Indian Tribe invited to broadcast on sat, inquired Buddhist sense, the simple Huineng words, of righteousness, not by writing. Indian Tribe asked: "Do not make the common people. Long heard Y, Hoang Mai His teachings passed down the South, sure he affordable?" He Hue Nangdap: "Do not dare!"

Then the ceremony would bring India Tong Y, Bat for mass considered. Indian Tribe inquired further: "He entrusted to His Royal Mai thinhung only what?" He replied: "No instructions what, as a talk show Nature, do not you meditate, Liberation." Indian Tong asked: "Why not discuss Thiendinh and Liberation?" He replied: "It is both legal, is not Buddhism. Buddhism is not two". Indian Tribe asked: "What is the law of dharma is not two?" He replied: "Master teaching the Nirvana Sutra, the Buddha nature to clarify, there is no second Buddha. Like he Noble German white Buddha of Buddha that" Those who committed four serious prohibitions, as in crimes against and we do not believe Buddhism (Nhut Xien Thread) has definitely lost virtue, the Buddha nature? "The Buddha replied:" Good base two; a regular; an impermanent. Buddha nature is not often not very often, so to should not dutdang. Call is not two: One is good, two is not good that Buddha nature is not good nor evil should be called not two. Aggregates along with gender, that is both ordinary, and who have attained enlightenment, the nature of this kind. Nature is not two Buddha nature. "

Indian Tribe listening, happy to accept the hand that says: "I like tile tile lectures, he comments that as gold." Huineng Dong Son went on French subjects in the Bodhi tree, the tree brought by Mr. Tri Pharmacy from India to grow here. In the early years of King Thien Luong Director emperor (502), have up gravestones: "Following the way of one hundred seven decades will have flesh Bodhisattva upper opening speech at the tree level redundancy for them is immeasurable viphap feet all publications Buddhist mind that transmission. " Here he Bridge-Na-Da-La-eight Bach organ wizards also backed up beer at the time (420-478), which read: "The Bodhisattva will be ordained in this flesh."

By the fifteenth day of January of that year, Indian Tribe tuchung meeting Huineng hair down and to the eighth day of February, the group of famous contemporary virtue as his attorney in Quang Tri Chang'an do ThoGioi Master, He Hui Pure Bar in Suzhou for Picking Ma, He-ng in Jingzhou Communication as Education Tho, Da-La-His States in Central India do Attorneys Theory About.

2 / The manifest of the Sixth Patriarch.

In addition to the secular, the Sixth Patriarch was a poor, semi-diurnal firewood adopted mother, the temple is a side valley to lay lo split, say rice, no chanting, listening to the Dharma. More than eight months have not walked to the hall, even to the Fifth Patriarch assembled disciples, to teach each person to do a verse of his insights about the nature of Prajna, people would not heed Him because He is Southerners are classified as barbarians but illiterate too! Yet the Sixth Patriarch had enlightened Buddha nature, Buddha attained legal, the Fifth Patriarch transmitted ring Y Hoang Bat. This breaking down all the concepts, tutruoc misconception is that only educated people, people with wisdom who could study, realized the Dhamma. Where the Sixth Patriarch who testified that from the ordinary place to have the Buddha nature, so he can become a Buddha. Is a strong case to convince everyone to believe that the Buddha's truth clearly "Necessary organic beings during Buddha nature."

We see that Buddhism spread to China from BC, Emperor Minh to life the Later Han Empire 67 TL King sent messengers to Buddha visiting Western Region, along the procession were two monks porcelain India is Kasyapa France Truc Ma Lan Dang and brought to the capital, King glad to set up White Horse Temple to the monks translate. From then until Huineng for France, Buddhism spread in China over 600 years has made the suTrung China to India Fa Hien as a visiting business travel to India from 399 to 414 and HE Mr. Tran Xuan Zhuang (600-664) to India from 629 to 645, more King, provided mental health quandai Three Jewels, Buddhism slope pleased to serve as emperor Liang, a monk was named National Teacher, shows the Buddha at that time strongly influenced Maden King, the Intellectuals and makes people may think that Buddhism is only suitable for the class intellectual, scholarly texts, to study the catechism. Huineng case is an event, Buddhism spread from foot to his faith TheTon still just a doctrine, a truth. Bodhi duty hybrid nature pure, equal to everyone, everyone can attain purity, chastity, she is reaching the permanent way.

3 / Basic Thought of the Sixth Patriarch.

Not natural that the Sixth Patriarch, or a Platform Sutra was written on top sutras, as well as the preamble to all Temple University giango Pham when nest is invited every Friday Use Save him from the mountain into Chau Thieu faculty Business:

- Good knowledge! Bodhi nature, the four hybrid purity, was eighth birthday, directly touches a Buddha.

That is: O gods of knowledge? Bo Devon pure nature, only this mind, so full of Buddha.

Everybody knows the Buddha taught that "all we sanhdeu have the Buddha nature." Buddha nature is that nature is pure Bodhi. How do we keep our minds are always pure, it will become a Buddha.

Here, the Sixth Patriarch reiterated again the chungdac of him:

Bodhi very life obligations

Proving non-radio scene herons

Bon Nhut hybrid material wealth

Tran Ha Made Who?

Through this verse, we see he has confirmed the Bodhi nature which is not, not, not even that something so pure that it is his definition. Now he only way to cultivate a sense he is right level to keep your mind always is purified reach their nirvana, ie reach the Buddha.

In economic Amida, the Buddha taught: "If good men or woman who credits a day for seven days reciting the Buddha, mind wandering, when about to die will be Buddha Amitabha and you out of St. ahead. When the mind does not die immediately scattered Bliss was born on the realm of Buddha Amitabha. Thanks to this universal passages, we see that once we Nhut mindfulness, non-agitated our mind reach the realm of pure, Bo detam mind was that nature was pure nature: No birth, no death, no more, no less, not dirty, not clean. It is also the Tri Eight elegant way. gained the most attention to any disturbances, ie the Bodhi mind, that is has to shore. A sitting meditation, a Buddhist concept can be achieved.

Basic thoughts of the Sixth Patriarch is His presentation was clear, she and concise.

4 / Formation Zen activity.

Over the five question: "White Rice has retired yet?", If a team was asked of us, sure we will answer one of two circumstances: "It is white or not white." Hui Neng also understood the secret mind is not reached? So he answered "White Rice has retired, just missing a sieve", that is the lens but was waiting for the person to attain.

Then the hand is holding the five fans, vegetation type in three, consecutive Huineng understand it is a tryst in the third watch, so watch Huineng three consecutive night of his staff sneaks into the Hoang Mai, from the words of the verse response to the sentences, taking attention proved Huineng based nature has directed. Five groups were thus transmitted press center, entrusted with the responsibility for preaching Lu, dosanh, uphold dharma, making Zen East over the increasingly flourishing.

Clerk of experience myself, do not need to read the natural experience, thousands of books, just keep your mind pure, elegant tunhien Bat birth place, the Clerk of treatment was expressed from the Diamond Sutra, a business nhuguom sharp, tight off all defilements, fully accept the break. Clerk to the Diamond Sutra used for concrete conceptual guidelines for circulating his posterity, instead of the old Tomb of the Profile of Bodhidharma from India brought to pass the back.

5 / A few questions

The Hue Minh and the people who run the search team to retrieve the Y Luc Bat, makes many people think that Buddhism is directed away why one sex but also greed Si, wants to run for Clerk of Medicine took the Bat ?

So true but also understand that if we were in the context of a Zen student under his Fifth Patriarch, we will think and do? Where have all the spiritual masters in religious temples, being apart from all participating love, hatred and delusion? There are those who have cultivated for years, there are people who just practice, they are characteristics that are just like us only, so everyone thoThan Tu revered teacher, everyone thought that Shen Y Tu will begin Bowls, most recently was the verse of the Five of praise. As Hui Neng, the sight of the Yogis is nothing less than a guy rustic, ignorant, only as the result, no chanting, sitting meditation, after three days he was missing, five of theory nor thangduong law, said today he had commanded Y Hui Neng Bat! Perhaps because the heart from which he had to say so, to allow for Hui Neng was taken from stealing only, not to the transmission that anyone has seen? He had not deserved? Probably not. As Hui Neng's poem read to the prices in Japan Special Use copy to the wall, had been removed Import of used shoes, in front of people is not reached khangdinh He also directed that other. But maybe that's greed to Hui Neng, Y Bat dadanh theft and escape, but he fled the countryside where he was than running on the South.

In the case, five of kindness should be forgiven, but if we do not run according to regain Italy returns to the Five Eight new ladang blame the disciples knew not protected, the service of his Master. So HueMinh and other novices to run for the Sixth Patriarch Y Bat, is a commonplace hanhdong course, reason to do so, even if run by Shen Tu moidang blame us.

Five of Eight Y why not transfer them clearly detu? His reason is essential to know everyone worships God Tu long people believe that God will begin Y Tu Bat, Bat this if statement passed to Hui Neng Y people will not be devastating to accept, will see Hui Neng was a rustic, ignorant, insignificant and may Hui Neng harmed, so the five of Hui Neng taught swept the South, hide itself for some time, such as Hui Neng to a remote miendat strange, no one knew the concrete area, people will easily accept, worship, the two are hiding yourself time to get everyone settled mind, it must accept an infusion of Y Bat is natural, as has been some others worship, hose protection of his teacher, Hui Neng three is enough time to digest reflection and realization, waiting a favorable opportunity opened Zen, he had opened on time with a powerful hammer blows on the minds of two Yogis "tamdong", while they fight with each other is the dynamic or wind action.

When Hui Neng, the five organizations that three years after the president who will, why does not he spent three years teaching it to words, kinhdien, open mind for new transmission Hui Neng then Y Bat, in fact, the HueNang has directed, he said later on Endless with Tibetan monks and nuns, "Calibration of the Buddhas of little to do with writing." But yes, where did Hui Neng word learning that has enlightened Diamond Sutra, the five groups should be taught what chunghia, this turned out to be an assertion, a radical break approved prior to or contemporaneous layers revered texts, information texts to aging, such nhuTam Gem Tran Huyen Trang, can learn new and enlightened Buddhist teachings.

Consulate South Vietnam was named the first land, but Hui Neng's parents are Chinese in origin Quoc Pagoda and Tan Chau, where King Street Zhongzong given in that old land that is Consul South, we not see the ancient Buddhist texts mention Vietnam, affordable European country located in Guangdong Tan today, this land of China has long besides the Clerk should also be Chinese ancient books of Buddhism are not talking . Furthermore, the initiation Sutra by Thich Thanh Tu 1975 translated the old mind set of dependent origination Lang, Kim Radio a Chinese Zen master wrote, "... the year Mau Tuat (1641), he returned Consulate South. Kim Ngoc My wife years later from timden Mon ... ", as such, Consul South of Hui Neng and said to Kim's Radio can be a land of China and it is only.

6 / practice method.

Practices of the Sixth Patriarch is His form a conceptual practice that he has made it clear, for conceptual as concrete, to be formless and invisible universe as the original. He teaches conceptual thinking is to talk without thinking, is treated with Signless leave the minister and the minister that Radio Head is not based on what each thought, that is not bound.

We can learn more about the conceptual tone of his lecture by himself: Why call a conceptual? Know and see all that our method not accept Indonesia, infiltration, it is conceptual. Use variables to consecutive everywhere, nor accept all Guinea anywhere. Only his heart remains pure, making six out of six-door form, in the sense-which is not complicated, not infected. Back and forth freely, without the no delay, ie the Prajna samadhi, liberation Liberation called conceptual behavior. If no thought for hundreds of animals, and makes great concept, ie law enforcement ties, which are called marginal comments.

Knowledge, O gods! Whoever is enlightened to see the legal conceptual realm of the Buddhas. Whoever conceptual legal enlightened Buddha news reached duocdia.

To teach people to practice conceptual, Sixth Patriarch has two verses, we selected an extraction well, because it more fully that all the other:

Speaking through the clearinghouse with two generals,

As the sun hung nowhere

Only the nature of legal transmission line

Born out breaking concrete tanks evil.

France did not cut any two species store

Red magnets in place Motherhood

This door is the nature of

The province never stupid cover the

Oil and wide preaching thousand miles away

That the union of a line

In the dreamy sorrow

The sun should show wisdom grows out

Whenever evil is the suffering

Every district of negativity minus

The chief evil are never used more

A pure heart is not enough to

Feet as the Bodhi nature of capital

Every start is wrong please any district

Net interest still in the wrong

The chief stumbling out of the bucket three days

The religious life if there is or bowing,

All the colors are not hurt

From time to time bugs find their own

That is equivalent to the two ends

Species identity itself is often directed

Expenditures are not doing each other afflictions

The leaves, find the where?

Trot did not see the color life wherever

A life of hardships because of the

Eventually I get brain itself shirt

To find that the feet

Making the building immediately to the right spelling

Themselves or otherwise directed

How wrong they see is what direction.

He that religious gastric damage

Nature did not see error information in the world

If you see people doing wrong

I was wrong in man rather low

Harassment does one obtain such harassment

If the error is also wrong in our rail

So far we take our desertion harassment

Except the brain afflictions such troubles

Zen guy you love to hate our

Traveling two-leg lay a bed

Others find ways to encourage good,

Themselves to the media option

Do not let them be skeptical.

That is the essence out now

Dharma in our lives so

Own death, but found no appearance

Death, the bodhi comments

As horned rabbits did not find that where

Right was named head of the world

Wrong is known to the world

The chief evil swept a lane

Bodhi nature will chan chan is naked.

Chanting teachers this was the cut

Also called legal name of the boat

Mexico, the constant life of constant

The province is also linked into a moment always.

7 / On Meditation practice

Sixth Patriarch taught: O gods of knowledge? Why Meditation is called? Minister is left outside Zen. Inside the disorder is not defined. Outside of getting the inside against any associated disorder. Minister if left outside, the mind immediately be undisturbed. Bon pure self-identity, self; just because the scene where the scene immediately thought disorder. If you see the scene where the interest to be undisturbed, so that new ladinh damage.

Knowledge, O gods! Also leaving the minister is Zen; in such disorder that is defined in addition there is the Zen of Thiendinh. About Bodhisattvas written: "Taking our original nature itself pure."

Knowledge, O gods! At every moment, every second thought, that duty himself pure nature. Practitioners themselves, make his own self into Phatdao so.

Through this we see that from the basic thoughts tutanh pure Bodhi capital, keeping his mind always calm is returning to duty nature, when nature was merged with the Bat elegant lobby, to quavi Bodhi, methods to achieve is to meditation.

The Sixth Patriarch of Zen method as mentioned above is to keep the mind is not thinking as pure Buddha taught, "Ung sotru children born very public interest" in response to the question "remains subdued galaxy false mind?"

Therefore, the Zen Master was a way, screaming, danhda the monks, in the case of the Master thought to answer the question of the Zen Master, because thinking is also contrary to meditation methods Then the Sixth Patriarch.

Fatherland said in the verse above:

Feet as the Bodhi nature of capital

Every start is wrong please any district

Net interest still in the wrong.

The chief stumbling out of the bucket three days

Originally written:

Obligation Bodhi nature.

Run the prospects mind instant.

Net secondary expectations in mind.

Birthday heartless right offensive.

Understanding this basic method, we see that the question To ask and answer questions the disciples was not involved at all all, it realizes that the practitioner can keep nature pure obligation or not.

1 - for example to place Trieu Chau Hoang Ba Hy Zen Master Yun, Master Hoang Ba found the staff to immediately shut down. Teacher to get fire brought on-line call:

Su Lin to have to assume with Zen Master Dai Ngu, recounted the incident, and asked that such a fault or not that was beaten like that. Dai Ngu said Hoang Ba teach you pathetic, now you still find fault. "Now this question awakened Master Lin.

Hue President said:

4 - Zen Master Ha one day upper unit handles the cat map are now up for others who would say otherwise cat will kill it. Everyone is quiet. Zen Master immediately cut off the cat.

When he was about to Trieu Chau, Zen Master say the story, Trieu Chau went riding shoes on his own head. Zen Master Application Ha said: "This gas prices who then saved the cat." There are Trieu Chau laydoi that is what shoes to the top is ignoble and noble place, ie you want to say no way, no ordinary saint, beyond dualistic. It's a well meaning but also a means not to have to think again, he cut off the cat is definitely cut off all hanhdong from wages, to wrong, good and evil .... Sense the actions of the Trieu Chau keep meaningful tone style of the Sixth Patriarch.
