What is the sky?
There was also a book that said we don't exist. Certainly, I don't think there will be any changes yesterday today. If it's been 10 years, I can understand the changes, and maybe they aren't in this world.
But it changes every day, as if it were called impermanent. They look the same, and not every day is the same, right? That's why you have to cherish every day, but it's hard to understand how thankful you are.
・The heart is always blooming anew, and since what was just now nowhere, it's called empty.
・When the word “ku” (sky) is uttered, the sound or letter “wow” is no longer anywhere, stays, and is not stagnant is called sky.
For example, when will your many worries begin?
And where is it now?
I wouldn't do that. That's because I'm not reminded of it.
Just think of it, and if you think about it, it just pops up in your mind.
However, when I was asking this question, it should have been just one letter at a time, so I don't think my mother-in-law or mother had any trouble anywhere. That's the sky.
If you become obsessed in your mind, it won't be empty.
It hardens, becomes what it has, and becomes what remains.
The sky is a selfless, selfless heart that is free to work without any interruptions.
You could say that it's a fully automatic self-cleaning switch that everyone has.
Normally, everyone doesn't notice where that empty switch is, so they stop doing things that should have ended up.
It gets in the way of my own thoughts and my heart becomes clogged.
When it comes to what makes me do that, my stubborn opinions, fixed opinions, and opinions get in the way.
Therefore, anyone can be saved by turning on the original fully automatic self-purification switch through zazen meditation, meditation, and Buddhist practice. This is because it leaves human perception.
Shaved ice becomes water while it is called shaved ice.
When I read smoke as smoke, I forgot to turn it into ash.
When did the fan turn to the right? While calling it to the left, it just turned around.
More importantly, I don't even need such words.
However, what is right in front of you is simply that kind of “sama.”
Since I add my own way of looking at things, I get away from the sky and have a head-on, upside down point of view.
Your mother, mother-in-law, father-in-law, and danna, who are always angry, are right, no matter what you say. If Anata isn't there, no private thoughts will be kept at bay, so they are freely changing and flowing. If you look at it from a third party, there aren't any problems or stains, right? That is the comfort of being away from human private opinions. = empty. Since I don't have myself (sense of self, self opinion), it's an easy world, an empty world.
Since it's empty, “you have to be thankful.” As I made up my mind with that feeling,
I feel like I'm starting to be swayed by a world of thoughts.
However, that moment by moment is flowing as it is, and there is a beginning of a new moment that has never been seen before.
I think that's all.
I think it's important to take it for granted without adding value to it.
Naturally, there are many material things in the world.
“Sky” is the concept that things do not have a universal essence.
Things are everything, and I, living things, and matter are everything.
For example, let's say you have a 10,000 yen bill.
I am the one who recognizes this as money, and there is no essence of money on this 10,000 yen bill.
If someone who doesn't know money at all sees it, it will be recognized as a piece of paper with a picture printed on it.
Also, it may be paper that blows butts in the toilet, and if you look at a goat, it may look like delicious food.
In other words, there is someone who admits “this is 10,000 yen,” and for the first time, there is money called 10,000 yen.
If it is recognized as “toilet paper” or “goat food,” the essence changes.
This is called [sky], and it is also called [luck] and [selflessness].
If a single thing itself is to exist with an essence that does not change universally, an Atman (soul) is necessary.
You need a soul to exist even when you don't have a partner.
However, Buddhism believes that there is no Atman in everything and explains that it is “selfless.”
Being selfless is empty at the same time, and since it's empty, it changes rapidly when the edge touches it.
It is also expressed as impermanent conduct and various laws and selflessness.
Things exist, but their essence changes from time to time.
What changes is changing depending on how you look at what you are confronting.
The person who recognizes me as “me” is the person I am confronting, and I have a soul, and I am not recognized by the “soul called me.”
I also have no essence, and my essence is empty.
That is one of the major differences between Buddhism and other religions.
Most religions are based on “selfish ideology,” which affirms the “soul.”
The reason why Buddhism does not accept biased obsessions and goes down the middle path is because “everything in the world is empty.”
A life of being obsessed with changing things is a waste of life.
People suffer and die in search of the contents of things that are empty.
The sky is like a dream or illusion.
Every phenomenon is made up of causation, cause, and effect, and is not alone. (auspicious)
Every phenomenon does not have an independent “per se” entity. (selfless)
Everything is selfless, so everything is unreliable and unworthy of obsession, like a dream or illusion. (empty)
Selfless because of luck, empty because of selflessness.
If everything is empty, there really is no “phase” such as the appearance, shape, and characteristics of each phenomenon or object on the surface. (phaseless)
If they are irrelevant and there are no real characteristic differences, then there is no need to dislike something and desire something. (unwilling)
The three things empty, faceless, and unwilling are called the three liberation gates.
Other than this, it also leads to emptiness from the viewpoint that everything is impermanent and everything is painful.
