About the “no ignorance, no ignorance...” part of the Heart Sutra
Hello.
From the previous question, “no ignorance, no ignorance, no death, no age death” by the Heart Sutra
I'm still curious about that part, so I'll ask you a question.
It is said that this part mentions the twelve lucky signs,
What is my own rough summary of the twelve lucky signs
Fundamental ignorance (ignorance) → survival instincts and perception of the outside world (action, knowledge, fame, six places) → instincts and afflictions that occur indistinguishably (touch, receive, love, take) → survival made up of instincts and afflictions → the idea of “I” arises as a living entity (life) → “I” eventually dies (death from old age)
Is that what you mean?
In my opinion, the Heart Sutra is about this part
“No matter how much you look at it, it's hard to break the causal relationship between the twelve lucky signs”
(“nothing” ignorance, “nothing” old age and death → “nothing” as denial)
but
“If you look at things as they are (if you look at them in aerial view)
I know everything is an irreplaceable truth.”
(“Nothing” ignorance, “nothing” old age death → air phase, “nothing” as wholeness)
It seems that the words “nothing” and are used in different ways
I think, what do you think?
If you read it literally, it's the opposite of saying “there's no A, but there's no shortage of A,”
This is a nonsense sentence that doesn't make sense at all.
In this part, everyone who reads the Heart Sutra first asks “huh?” It's where I think,
There are no books that explain anything that makes sense. (To the extent that I can say it in a bossy manner,
(I haven't read the book)
Some say, “It is Theravada Buddhism that sticks to the form of the twelve lucky signs.
The Heart Sutra is Mahayana Buddhism, so I don't care about that.”
There is also a book about slaying it in a nutshell.
I don't think it's that simple...
There may be many interpretations, but I would appreciate it if you could share your thoughts.
I'm sorry for being such a geeky question.
