Book Six: Incredible understand True Wisdom Trust
Recording from 1st Dec on latop at dojo has summary of this chapter
Incredible understanding true wisdom trust – chapter 6 of Diamond Sutra say how incredible for someone to learn this philosophy. Because there is true understanding then there is true trust.
Why is it so hard for human beings to Understand Diamond Sutra?
If you look at human history it is all built by ego. What is left when they die? Nothing. They lose all their abiilties, all their possessions, lose emotions, lose temporary identify with this body – there is not any history that doesn’t follow that blindness system ending with the same result.
Buddhism talk about eternal truth of life not in that human zone – it is actually out of that zone.
We live trillion life times in that zone, temporary-I, relative-I, one lifetime identity name, position, relationship I from those to see life. Not just sometimes but every second like that.
So we never experience out of ourselves to see life.
And if we cannot do that, then how can we see complete angles of life?
That is why they say it is incredible to understand this wisdom. Then wisdom trust will appear.
While we are still blind we cannot understand. If you explain to a blind man that the sun is around. Then the blind man picks up a plate and says, ah this is the sun because it is around.
Understanding diamond sutra is not easy.
Whatever the diamond sutra explains is not the truth of life. The truth of life can be described, but whatever is described is not the truth of life.
Dharma has different kinds, system of life, eternal truth of life.
See here for definition of Dharma and different kinds.
If you want to use your limitation to judge life, it’s like a kindergarten child talking about what they understand about Earth. Their view and experience of life is very narrow. BEcause they are weak they have a lot of fear. More blind, more fear will coem to you. You create it. It’s only when you open your heart and open your mind and open your hidden abilities why open view unlimited way to understand life, not thinking, directly experience, then you realise life is not what we think only, that limitation, life is not boring.
Have you had an experience where you said “WOAH, that is incredible!”
Students share some experiences
Rare and incredible is you!
A chance to learn this philosophy, sincere to listen and able to understand? Because you can concentrate to understand true trust appears – that is incredible.
Even a Buddha at that time is incredible. After Buddha left, even more incredible to learn.
It’s more easy to trust when Buddha is there.
Xi Pu Di
World respected if someone aware what Buddha say now in the Diamond Sutra and they are able to understand and truly trust it is it possible?
Buddha says:
After I left Earth, if somebody really disciplined in life and really understand life is illusions and really have control and learn wisdom with discipline not get lost by this world and stay in pure intention this kind of powerful consciousness with discipline and sharp wisdom, when they read it they can understand.
This person long time ago before this lifetime they were already met one Buddha (or more) or some even already learn from millions of Buddha, they have developed eternal wisdom kindness, and developed and grow true awakened wisdom ability so because of their will they learn this. Because they understand this their consciousness will already pure, free from blind ego, illusion, pollution connection.
Buddha says:
Xi Pu Di – is some people who have developed that far to understand our conversation their spiritual light is uncountable because this consciousness have a power stronger than all the pollution power.
They can use the diamond sutra wisdom to directly develop awakened consciousness no more trapped in illusion I, wu wo, and wu ren, no more trapped in human zone, or lifeforms or lifetime.
Thats why there spiritual lucky karma is incredible.
Why do they have to understand the four true Dharma.
Because anyone who has developed wisdom will right away have ego – I understand this , I aware more than others.
When that appears, then they right away have no wisdom – because I and comparing heart appears.
So awakened consciousness use wisdom to purify their ego, no to develop more ego. Have to understand all life is illusion.
If someone learns Diamond Sutra and thinks they are wiser than others, then they are already lost.
You become the wisdom, not hold the wisdom.
Awakened consciousness aware nothing to hold, hold nothing.
Question: What’s holding onto wisdom?
Answer: Learn wisdom but never practice – read a book on tennis and think you can play well. Developing blind ego not wisdom.
Addition TF: If someone uses a raft to cross a river, once they get to the other side they should discard the raft and continue walking. Would you carry the raft as you go? No. In this way, do not be possessive of any wisdom, the final is not the wisdom, it is the ability to be the wisdom to be free from blindness and help others awaken.
The Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra
6. The rarity of true belief
Subhuti said to the Buddha, “World Honored One, in the future will there be living beings, who, when they hear such phrases spoken will truly believe?”
The Buddha told Subhuti, “Do not speak in such a way! After the Tathagata’s extinction, in the last five hundred years, there will be those who hold the precepts and cultivate blessings who will believe such phrases and accept them as true.
“You should know that such people will have planted good roots with not just one Buddha, two Buddhas, three, four, or five Buddhas, but will have planted good roots with measureless millions of Buddhas. All who hear such phrases and produce even one thought of pure faith are completely known and completely seen by the Tathagata. Such living beings thus obtain measureless blessings and virtue. And why? Those living beings have no further mark of self, of others, of living beings, or of a life; no mark of phenomena and no mark of no phenomena. If living beings’ minds grasp at marks, then that is attachment to self, to others, to living beings, and to a life. For that reason you should not grasp at phenomena, nor should you grasp at no phenomena. Regarding that principle, the Tathagata often says, ‘All you bhiksus should know that the dharma which I speak is like a raft. Even the dharma should be relinquished, how much the more so what is not dharmas.’
