Chapter 8 The Seventh Dharma Eye Asks Huichao

The Seventh Dharma Eye Asks Huichao Hanging down the cloud: "The first sentence of the voice, don't pass it on to thousands of sages." Ancient Indian heretics have sound theory, and the Buddha said: Sound is an impermanent thing, made by delusional consciousness.Chinese Zen monks do not deny the utterance in this way, but they want to pursue the first sentence of the utterance. In fact, the ancients raised the issue of sound, which is very great. For example, it is said in the Bible: "In the beginning there were words." Heretics are not the original ideas of one school, but the ancient traditions of the Indian nation.Sound is what you do.There is no greater surprise in the world than hearing the croaking sound and knowing it is the birth of a person.The sound is produced when the breath becomes the breath of breath.The sound is to exhale.

All things are made of the breath of nature.However, Rushuishi has form but no sound.The water stone has breath, but it has not become the breath of breath.When water and stone are excited together, there is sound, but sound is not the same as sound.Sounds are made by animals.Plants have breathed, but not vocalized.Therefore, the baby's first sound is earth-shattering, and the pop when the plant seeds burst and the buds burst!Snapped!It is ringing.The sound was also earth-shattering. All things have form, but not all have sound, so form precedes sound.I saw a small blue blackboard and ashless chalk in a stationery store yesterday. I thought it was fresh and unique, so I bought it locally and put it in the living room downstairs. My cousin, some classmates and I came back from school and we sat in this new small blackboard. Make gestures on the blackboard and write six books.Everyone is a smattering of knowledge that has just been learned in the Chinese class, which is also as gratifying as this new blackboard.Today they all went to school, and I was alone in the upstairs room looking at the shadows of the trees outside the screen window, and suddenly remembered why the pictogram of Liushu came before the harmonic sound.I also thought of how Chinese coinage can connect sound and shape, which is really capable.

In the history of evolution, mural paintings first appeared, and languages ​​developed later.But what is the "sentence before the sound"?There was a breath before the sound, but it did not form a sentence.This theory is no longer difficult to explain.And I suddenly understood this today. The opinions of Indian heretics cannot be denied, but they are somewhat persistent.The value of Sakyamuni's theory of breaking sound lies in the fact that he raises great doubts about sound, not denying it; if he denies sound, it will not make much sense.The Bible says that there was word in the beginning, and that word was with God, while Japan says "word spirit". This is the answer to this big question.When Lao Tzu said that morality comes before speech, he raised the question of the origin and generation of speech.And Zen's answer to this is an opportunity before the sound.

It is not too far to pursue the sentence before the sound, only at the beginning of the sentence.The end of this machine, and it also exists everywhere in the well-established sentences.What about when there is no world?Answer: It lies in the present. My sister's child is only over one year old, and he has to make up his own words. When he sees a car, he says "Pop".He was playing in the sitting room, when it suddenly rained outside, he was surprised and told his grandmother "Bai Da Bai Da", that's how he would call all things by their names.His mother took a plate from the stove and broke one, and the kid told my grandmother and me over and over again.He made a gesture comparison between the fireside and the floor, and said, "Kat it!" He said fiercely and repeatedly, saying that Mom dropped the plate.Comparing his "Kataba!" with gestures, it now reminds me of the homophony of Liushu, the combination of sound and pictogram.Thinking of the hard work of creating the Six Books by the ancients, and seeing the creativity and new forms of children, it is really what Zen Master Huanwu said in this reminder:

In the past, no one knew who made great achievements Example: A monk asked Chan Master Fayan, and Huichao consulted the monk: What is a Buddha?Zen Master Fayan said: You are Huichao. Do you want to know the great achievements of the predecessors?Today you go out on your own.Zen Master Xuedou sang: The spring breeze in the Jiang country can't blow the partridge's crowing in the deep flowers Level 3 waves are as high as a fish turning into a dragon The first two sentences mean that history is full of news.The last two sentences mean that you don't have to seek Buddha, you just care about yourself.

But if you are not a Buddha or a teacher, but an enemy, then thinking about the Buddha and admiring the Buddha is your own relative.There are two poems by Li Shangyin that are really distressing, saying: The narcissus has gone on a carp overnight, and the lotus is full of red tears The Buddha is gone, only you are here.And you are here, which means that the meaning of the Buddha is here, and the big things will depend on you in the future!If you are a flower, you will bloom in the red tears and clear dew!
