拈花微笑

“世尊在灵山会上，拈花 示众，是时众皆默然，唯迦叶尊者破颜微笑。世尊云：‘吾有正法眼藏，涅盘妙心，实相无相，微妙法门，不立文字，教外别传，付嘱摩诃迦叶。 俱他心通者都听得到释迦牟尼佛的心语，为什麽惟独迦叶尊者微笑？因为释迦牟尼佛有意派迦叶尊者一个任务，所以他只讓迦叶尊者听到他要講的话。

Zen and Tantra

Tantra. The root tan means “to expand”, and tra means “liberator”. The science that liberates you from all bondages, physical, mental and spiritual, is Tantra. Tan means “expansion” and tra means “liberator”. The science that expands your mind and spirit and thus liberates you is Tantra. The metamorphosed form of tantra about seven thousand years ago became taota. The Sanskrit dhyána became chan [in Chinese], chan became chen [in Korean], chen became zen [in Japanese]. It is a very interesting science. Now, tantra became taota; taota after further distortion, further metamorphosis, became taoa – in modern language 道 tao。 Taoism, Its root is tantra. The sleeping divinity in the human body lies in the lowermost portion of your backbone. That lowermost bone is called kula in Sanskrit. That sleeping divinity is called kulakuńd́alinii. Kuńd́alinii means “in coiled form”. It is sleeping, and when it is aroused, is elevated, by dint of your sádhaná, by dint of your dhyána, chan, chen, zen, it will go upwards. When it comes up, that is, touches the controlling point of the pineal gland, one will become one with Parama Puruśa. One will become Parama Puruśa. For those who are humans both in mind and body, the style of practice is called viirácára. Our avadhútas and avadhútikás practise viirácára. Viira means brave. Why is it called brave? It is because they are fighting against the fetters of mind, they are fighting against the satanic fetters. So certainly they are brave. This viirácára is of two kinds. 5000 years ago, in the southern Himalayas, the practice taught by Shiva is known as viirácára. 6000 years ago, in the North of the Himalayas – in Tibet, China, Siberia, etc. – the practice taught by Shiva was known as Ciinácára, that is, “the Chinese style”.

金剛经宗旨

內外不住，去來自由。能除執心，通逹無礙。

Can you use scientific way to prove occult power?

i dont think so. The person who wants to do the work knows a little bit of it or only half knowledge. The one who really has the power is not interested in doing it.

7000 year old Svastika unearthed in Europe

20 May 2010 | A pottery fragment with the image of a swastika, dating to 7,000 years ago, and an ancient female adornment with a phallus are among the artefacts shown for the first time as part of the on-going exhibition “Gods, Symbols and Ancient Signs” in the museum in Vratsa in north-western Bulgaria. The swastika-decorated clay pottery fragment was found by archaeologists during excavations of a ritual pit around the village of Altimir near the town of Vratsa. The find dates back to the beginning of the Stone-Copper Age and shows that this symbol traverses the centuries and cannot be linked solely to Hitler’s party, archaeologists explained. The swastika as a symbol dates to the Neolithic period in Ancient India, according to previous archaeological finds. It can also be seen on Roman and Medieval artefacts. Although it was commonly used all over much of the world without stigma and still occurs widely in religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism, the swastika has become stigmatized in the Western world, because of its iconic usage in Nazi Germany. Similarly, arcaheologists explained that the symbolism of the ancient bronze, phallus-decorated medallion included in the exhibition isn’t necessarily translated to contemporary meanings. Other interesting artefacts displayed as part of the exhibition are the bronze instruments to make silver and gold plates and cups and the Christian crosses found in the early medieval settlement near the village of Harlets. Other of the exhibition’s accents are the small horse amulets, as well as the bracelet fragments with Celtic signs, an ancient black-figured skyphos - a two-handled deep wine-cup and votive tablets of Heracles and the Thraciant god, which serve as an example of votive tablet iconography. After the display in Vratsa, which is to stay for one month, the archaeologists, according to national media, intend to take the exhibition on tour at least in the northwestern part of Bulgaria.

六祖壇经的心要

坐禪，無障無礙，外於一切善惡境界心念不起，名为坐；內見自性不動，名为禪。外離相为襌，內不亂为定。外襌內定，是为襌定。 在這裡，六祖没有反对坐禪，哪有如來襌和祖師襌的分别？顿渐也无！六祖说：“法本一宗，人有南北。法即一种，见有迟疾。何名顿渐？法无顿渐，人有利顿，故名顿渐。” 金剛经宗旨 內外不住，去來自由。能除執心，通逹無礙。 法华経的宗旨 以因緣出世为宗。什麽因缘？佛出世的因缘。什麽是法华经意？佛陈述三乘乃方便说，起实没有三乘，只有一佛乘。只教汝去假归实，归实之后，实亦无名。应知所有珍财，盡屬於汝，由汝受用，更不作父想，亦不作子想，亦无用想。是名持法华经，从劫至劫，手不释卷，从晝至夜，无不念时。这无异就是密宗的第一课，Ishvara Pranidhana. 楞伽經大意： 楞伽經（梵文：लंकावतारसूत्र Lankāvatāra-sūtra），全名《楞伽阿跋多罗宝经》，就经名，意为佛，普萨们在Sri Lanka集结，听佛讲法的大法会。这次法会是对佛普萨说的，不是对你我修行人说的。不容易懂。佛说什麽呢？说三身四智。三身者：清净法身，汝之性也；圆满报身，汝之智也；千百亿化身，汝之行也。自性俱三身，发明成四智。由三身四智出，既会三身，便明四智。那四智? 大圆镜智性清净，平等性智心无病，妙观察智见非功，成所作智同圆镜。大圆镜智，明白一切有情无情为一体；平等性智，视一切皆平等，妙观察诸般事物，能徹底了解一切，成所作智，能成就所有要做之事。 我有一偈：无常无常见，亦无灭见之见。无体用相，亦无相之相。 修行要发四弘願;自心衆生无边誓願度，自心烦恼无边誓願断，自性法门无尽誓願学，自性无上佛道誓願成。 秀徒譏南宗祖师不识一字。批。184页。六祖的修行悟道，没有次地，虽参悟亦未得究竟，他说的神通自在却不自在，没有神通俱足，所以字不会。俱足自在神通，能懂各国语言。任何时候，也能給任何人各种的神通。 禅宗心要:一切善恶都莫思量，自然得入清净心体。湛然常寂，妙用恒沙。 为什麽师说神会是个知解宗徒？ 你自己去参吧！

洞山

洞山幼时出家做和尚，老师教他念般若波羅密多心经，当他读到“無眼耳鼻舌身”时，他突然就蒙住脸问：“我就有眼耳鼻舌身，为什麽经中却说没有呢？”老师对于他的问题不禁大骇说：“我不配作你的老师。”今天哪有这种胸襟的老师！
