1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,300 < Diamond Sutra > 5,000 words 2 00:00:02,333 --> 00:00:03,566 Just chop one thing 3 00:00:04,133 --> 00:00:05,633 An illiterate woodcutter 4 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,333 Selling firewood on the street 5 00:00:07,766 --> 00:00:08,800 Hear someone chanting 6 00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:10,333 Read a lot of sentences 7 00:00:10,666 --> 00:00:12,633 But one sentence directly penetrated him 8 00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:14,100 He couldn't tell why. 9 00:00:14,466 --> 00:00:16,133 But those eight words were like a bolt of lightning. 10 00:00:16,366 --> 00:00:17,900 Split him open a seam 11 00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:19,000 He puts down the firewood. 12 00:00:19,233 --> 00:00:20,000 Put down the mother 13 00:00:20,233 --> 00:00:22,400 Traveled thousands of miles to find an old monk 14 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:24,566 One late night eight months later 15 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,466 The old monk told him this scripture alone in the secret room 16 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,766 When it comes to the same sentence 17 00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:31,133 He was completely enlightened 18 00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:32,966 Those eight words are 19 00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:35,166 There should be nothing to live in but a heart 20 00:00:35,733 --> 00:00:37,533 This woodcutter is called Hui Neng 21 00:00:37,833 --> 00:00:39,333 Later became the sixth patriarch of Zen Buddhism 22 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,333 One of the most important figures in the history of Chinese Buddhism 23 00:00:43,033 --> 00:00:43,800 And that book 24 00:00:43,966 --> 00:00:46,366 It's the < Diamond Sutra > we're going to dismantle today. 25 00:00:47,066 --> 00:00:47,533 Hello 26 00:00:47,766 --> 00:00:48,266 Hello. 27 00:00:48,466 --> 00:00:49,233 I am Wang Lijie 28 00:00:50,133 --> 00:00:51,866 In the first two issues, we dismantled the < Ahan Sutra > 29 00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:53,733 That's the Buddha's original diagnosis. 30 00:00:54,066 --> 00:00:55,000 He told you 31 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,866 Your pain is not a random event 32 00:00:57,066 --> 00:00:58,933 It has a precise cause called craving. 33 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,833 There is a complete pathological mechanism called the Twelve Causes 34 00:01:02,366 --> 00:01:04,866 There is a systematic treatment program called the Noble Eightfold Path. 35 00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:07,466 It was an extremely rigorous clinical report. 36 00:01:08,366 --> 00:01:09,666 But starting today 37 00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:12,000 We are entering the second level of Buddhism 38 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,033 Prajna system 39 00:01:13,533 --> 00:01:15,866 If the < Ahan Sutra > is a medical certificate 40 00:01:15,866 --> 00:01:17,800 The Diamond Sutra is a scalpel 41 00:01:18,266 --> 00:01:21,233 It no longer patiently explains to you why you are sick 42 00:01:21,466 --> 00:01:24,966 It goes straight to the disease-making core of your brain. 43 00:01:24,966 --> 00:01:25,900 One knife down 44 00:01:26,266 --> 00:01:28,066 First open the name of this scripture 45 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,500 < Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra > 46 00:01:30,833 --> 00:01:31,533 King Kong 47 00:01:31,733 --> 00:01:33,566 Is the hardest substance in the world 48 00:01:33,866 --> 00:01:35,100 It can't cut anything. 49 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,200 But it can cut through everything 50 00:01:37,966 --> 00:01:38,833 Prajna 51 00:01:38,833 --> 00:01:39,733 Sanskrit transliteration 52 00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:40,933 Not ordinary smart 53 00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:45,233 It's the ultimate insight that penetrates all appearances to the essence 54 00:01:45,700 --> 00:01:46,533 Paramita 55 00:01:46,733 --> 00:01:47,433 Reach the other side 56 00:01:48,133 --> 00:01:49,166 Together they are 57 00:01:49,166 --> 00:01:51,500 A wisdom as sharp as King Kong 58 00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:54,166 It can take you from this side of confusion to the other side of enlightenment 59 00:01:54,333 --> 00:01:56,300 What is the distance between this side and the other side? 60 00:01:56,633 --> 00:01:57,566 Not a river 61 00:01:57,966 --> 00:01:59,533 You built a wall yourself. 62 00:02:00,333 --> 00:02:02,900 The Diamond Sutra is dedicated to tearing down this wall 63 00:02:03,333 --> 00:02:05,800 This scripture is a translated version of Kumarashi 64 00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:07,900 The full text is about 5,100 words 65 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,466 But these 5,000 words are turned over and over 66 00:02:10,633 --> 00:02:12,066 Actually only chop one thing 67 00:02:12,566 --> 00:02:13,333 persistent 68 00:02:13,533 --> 00:02:14,700 Let me put it more precisely. 69 00:02:14,733 --> 00:02:15,966 It's your obsession with "phase" 70 00:02:16,566 --> 00:02:17,533 What is "phase"? 71 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,666 You can think of it as your brain's labeling system. 72 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,266 You see a person 73 00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:26,533 Your brain instantly labels him with a series of labels: This is my boss 74 00:02:27,133 --> 00:02:28,600 He doesn't like me very much. 75 00:02:28,633 --> 00:02:30,766 There was something wrong with his expression in the last meeting. 76 00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:32,666 You see one thing 77 00:02:32,666 --> 00:02:35,200 The brain also labels: this is failure 78 00:02:35,233 --> 00:02:36,600 And that's not fair. 79 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,200 This has implications for my future 80 00:02:39,133 --> 00:02:40,366 You see yourself. 81 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,733 The brain posts more: I am a relatively capable person 82 00:02:43,733 --> 00:02:44,966 But not confident enough 83 00:02:44,966 --> 00:02:46,466 Others may look down on me 84 00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:48,500 These labels are "phase." 85 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,633 The Diamond Sutra divides it into four categories 86 00:02:51,033 --> 00:02:56,033 Call me phase, human phase, all living beings phase, longevity phase 87 00:02:56,266 --> 00:02:57,066 I like 88 00:02:57,266 --> 00:02:59,033 It's your obsession with "who am I" 89 00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:00,100 human appearance 90 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,333 It's your obsession with what other people are. 91 00:03:02,833 --> 00:03:03,766 All beings 92 00:03:04,033 --> 00:03:05,933 It's your obsession with grouping. 93 00:03:06,466 --> 00:03:09,466 Such as enemies and friends, winners and losers 94 00:03:10,366 --> 00:03:11,366 longevity 95 00:03:11,366 --> 00:03:15,100 It's your obsession with "I want to go on in time" 96 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,666 This is where the fear of death comes from 97 00:03:18,633 --> 00:03:20,400 These four are combined. 98 00:03:20,666 --> 00:03:21,766 In today's terms 99 00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:25,300 It's the self-model plus the world model in your brain. 100 00:03:25,666 --> 00:03:27,800 Your brain took decades 101 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,466 With all your experience, your education, the losses you've suffered 102 00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:34,233 Built an extremely sophisticated forecasting system 103 00:03:34,733 --> 00:03:36,433 This system tells you who you are 104 00:03:36,733 --> 00:03:38,000 What is the world like? 105 00:03:38,033 --> 00:03:40,266 What is good and what is bad? 106 00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:41,566 What happens next? 107 00:03:41,900 --> 00:03:43,800 It does help you make quick decisions. 108 00:03:44,033 --> 00:03:46,833 So that you don't have to rediscover the world every morning 109 00:03:47,166 --> 00:03:47,866 It works. 110 00:03:48,366 --> 00:03:49,500 But what's the problem? 111 00:03:49,833 --> 00:03:52,133 You treat the model as reality itself. 112 00:03:52,466 --> 00:03:53,300 For example 113 00:03:53,666 --> 00:03:55,000 You drive with navigation. 114 00:03:55,433 --> 00:03:56,433 Open open 115 00:03:56,433 --> 00:03:58,266 You forget that there is a real road outside the window 116 00:03:58,566 --> 00:04:00,100 You just stare at the phone screen 117 00:04:00,733 --> 00:04:02,800 The screen says there's a river ahead 118 00:04:02,833 --> 00:04:03,866 You brake suddenly 119 00:04:04,166 --> 00:04:07,033 But in fact, the river was filled in three years ago 120 00:04:07,633 --> 00:04:09,466 The screen says this is the fastest way 121 00:04:09,933 --> 00:04:11,066 You follow me 122 00:04:11,233 --> 00:04:13,433 But there is a closer path next to it 123 00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:15,200 It's just that the map hasn't been updated. 124 00:04:15,733 --> 00:04:17,966 You are trapped on an outdated map 125 00:04:18,166 --> 00:04:20,300 I thought I was walking in the real world 126 00:04:20,766 --> 00:04:22,066 All your pain 127 00:04:22,066 --> 00:04:24,933 Essentially treating the map as territory 128 00:04:25,366 --> 00:04:27,966 Cognitive science today calls this "predictive coding." 129 00:04:28,633 --> 00:04:32,033 Your brain is not a passive camera. 130 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,933 It's a proactive forecasting machine. 131 00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:38,066 It's constantly drawing on past experience. 132 00:04:38,333 --> 00:04:40,333 Generate predictions about the current world 133 00:04:40,633 --> 00:04:42,666 And then project that prediction. 134 00:04:43,066 --> 00:04:44,900 As the reality you "see" 135 00:04:45,333 --> 00:04:47,033 You think you are looking at the world 136 00:04:47,033 --> 00:04:50,000 You're actually looking at your brain's best guess about the world. 137 00:04:50,933 --> 00:04:53,600 When guesses and real signals don't match 138 00:04:53,633 --> 00:04:55,100 That's a prediction error. 139 00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:58,233 Your mood swings are a response to this error 140 00:04:59,066 --> 00:05:00,000 You are angry 141 00:05:00,133 --> 00:05:02,333 Essentially not because something is wrong with the world 142 00:05:02,633 --> 00:05:05,300 It's because your predictive model doesn't match the world 143 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,300 Buddha didn't have an MRI 2,500 years ago. 144 00:05:08,466 --> 00:05:09,666 There's no Bayesian formula. 145 00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:11,300 But he relied purely on vipassana 146 00:05:11,533 --> 00:05:12,966 Saw the same thing 147 00:05:13,633 --> 00:05:16,000 He realized that humans are not interacting with the world 148 00:05:16,366 --> 00:05:18,566 You're interacting with your model in your head. 149 00:05:19,333 --> 00:05:21,300 You think you are angry with your boss. 150 00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:24,866 Now, you're angry with the expectation of what the boss should do to me. 151 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,633 You think you're sad about a breakup 152 00:05:27,933 --> 00:05:32,233 So you're looking at the collapse of that prediction that the relationship should last forever. 153 00:05:32,233 --> 00:05:32,900 And sad 154 00:05:33,533 --> 00:05:36,333 Your pain never comes from the event itself 155 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,766 It's the gap between the event and your prediction. 156 00:05:40,033 --> 00:05:41,333 See through this layer 157 00:05:41,366 --> 00:05:42,366 Buddha in the Diamond Sutra 158 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,466 He said something astounding 159 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,100 All appearances 160 00:05:46,266 --> 00:05:47,266 It's all false 161 00:05:47,766 --> 00:05:49,333 If you see all phases are different 162 00:05:49,366 --> 00:05:50,600 Then see the Tathagata 163 00:05:51,133 --> 00:05:54,600 Translated into vernacular: all the labels you put on your head 164 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,500 All is not the thing itself 165 00:05:57,166 --> 00:05:59,600 When you can see through labels, it's just labels. 166 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,033 When it's not the truth 167 00:06:01,066 --> 00:06:02,466 You see the truth 168 00:06:03,066 --> 00:06:03,800 Attention 169 00:06:04,166 --> 00:06:05,900 Buddha didn't say that the world doesn't exist 170 00:06:06,666 --> 00:06:08,033 Table or table? 171 00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:09,200 Flower or flower? 172 00:06:09,733 --> 00:06:10,733 Here's what he said. 173 00:06:10,766 --> 00:06:13,800 You made up your own stories about tables and flowers 174 00:06:14,566 --> 00:06:15,966 Flowers are neither beautiful nor ugly 175 00:06:15,966 --> 00:06:16,900 It is a flower 176 00:06:17,166 --> 00:06:18,966 It's your brain that says, "Beautiful." 177 00:06:19,433 --> 00:06:21,066 And you cling to beauty. 178 00:06:21,233 --> 00:06:22,833 Then you are afraid that it will wither 179 00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:25,600 Then you start to feel sad before the flowers thank you 180 00:06:26,166 --> 00:06:27,033 A Flower 181 00:06:27,133 --> 00:06:30,833 It creates a mini-misery in your head in three seconds. 182 00:06:31,166 --> 00:06:32,300 It's not the flowers 183 00:06:32,633 --> 00:06:33,833 It's the label. 184 00:06:34,366 --> 00:06:37,266 What does this have to do with the desire for love that we covered in the Aham Sutra? 185 00:06:37,566 --> 00:06:39,400 Thirst is your urge to catch. 186 00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:41,400 And "phase" is what you grab. 187 00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:43,233 The object of your love 188 00:06:43,433 --> 00:06:45,033 Never the thing itself 189 00:06:45,433 --> 00:06:47,800 It's the labels that you have in your head. 190 00:06:48,233 --> 00:06:49,466 You don't love that person 191 00:06:49,666 --> 00:06:52,933 You love that model in your head of what he should be like 192 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,300 If the model doesn't match reality 193 00:06:55,300 --> 00:06:56,466 Pain comes 194 00:06:57,100 --> 00:06:59,966 So the Aham Sutra cuts into the engine of thirst. 195 00:06:59,966 --> 00:07:02,466 The Diamond Sutra cuts the "phase" of this fuel 196 00:07:03,166 --> 00:07:05,066 The engine needs to be fueled to run. 197 00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:06,800 Cut off any one 198 00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:08,533 The bitter machine stops 199 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,666 Now let's look at the most powerful move of the < Diamond Sutra > 200 00:07:12,333 --> 00:07:15,000 The Buddha used a sentence pattern repeatedly in his scriptures 201 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,066 I call this the Prajna formula. 202 00:07:17,466 --> 00:07:19,066 It looks like this: A 203 00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:19,700 non-A 204 00:07:19,700 --> 00:07:20,533 Is an A 205 00:07:21,433 --> 00:07:22,900 For example, the Buddha said 206 00:07:22,900 --> 00:07:24,033 Tathagata World 207 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,066 non-world 208 00:07:25,166 --> 00:07:26,066 Is famous world 209 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,233 Buddha's Thirty-two Phantoms 210 00:07:28,500 --> 00:07:29,400 non-phase 211 00:07:29,733 --> 00:07:31,266 It's a thirty-two prime minister 212 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:32,566 So here's another example. 213 00:07:32,700 --> 00:07:33,633 Buddhism 214 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:34,666 It's not Buddhism. 215 00:07:34,966 --> 00:07:35,933 It's a dharma. 216 00:07:36,866 --> 00:07:39,566 This sentence pattern occurs more than 20 times in the whole sutra 217 00:07:40,233 --> 00:07:41,233 What is it doing? 218 00:07:41,733 --> 00:07:45,066 It's systematically dismantling your attachment to all concepts 219 00:07:45,766 --> 00:07:46,900 You said "world." 220 00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:48,800 You think you know what the world is like 221 00:07:49,433 --> 00:07:50,433 Buddha said 222 00:07:50,433 --> 00:07:51,833 The world you mentioned 223 00:07:51,833 --> 00:07:53,233 Not the world itself 224 00:07:53,233 --> 00:07:55,400 It's just a name called "World." 225 00:07:55,866 --> 00:07:56,800 You said, "Dharma." 226 00:07:57,166 --> 00:07:58,700 You think you've got the truth 227 00:07:59,266 --> 00:08:00,100 Buddha said 228 00:08:00,133 --> 00:08:01,333 The Dharma you mentioned 229 00:08:01,333 --> 00:08:02,966 Not Buddhism itself 230 00:08:02,966 --> 00:08:05,133 It's just a concept called dharma. 231 00:08:05,666 --> 00:08:07,700 What this formula does 232 00:08:07,733 --> 00:08:11,333 It's between your name system and your emotional responses. 233 00:08:11,666 --> 00:08:12,866 Insert an interval 234 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:14,966 Try it in your daily life 235 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:16,733 You say, "I'm anxious." 236 00:08:16,733 --> 00:08:19,166 Your body immediately starts to contract 237 00:08:19,433 --> 00:08:21,566 You become someone who is anxious 238 00:08:22,266 --> 00:08:24,466 But if you look at it using the prajna formula 239 00:08:24,466 --> 00:08:25,666 So-called anxiety 240 00:08:25,666 --> 00:08:26,566 non-anxiety 241 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:27,500 Is anxious 242 00:08:28,033 --> 00:08:29,466 The thing you feel 243 00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:31,566 It's not an entity called anxiety. 244 00:08:32,033 --> 00:08:34,266 Anxiety is just a label you put on it. 245 00:08:34,700 --> 00:08:35,666 As soon as the label is removed 246 00:08:35,700 --> 00:08:38,466 You'll find that underneath are just some physical sensations 247 00:08:38,866 --> 00:08:40,033 Heartbeat a little faster 248 00:08:40,033 --> 00:08:41,133 The chest is a little tight 249 00:08:41,166 --> 00:08:42,300 Breathing is shallower 250 00:08:42,466 --> 00:08:43,266 Yes. 251 00:08:43,866 --> 00:08:46,300 No monster called anxiety is attacking you. 252 00:08:46,933 --> 00:08:49,266 It's your naming system that creates the monster 253 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:50,933 One more. 254 00:08:52,233 --> 00:08:53,766 You have just been criticized by the leader. 255 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,933 You said, "He doesn't respect me." 256 00:08:55,700 --> 00:08:58,766 You are instantly angry, wronged, and want to fight back 257 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,733 But if you stop for a second 258 00:09:00,766 --> 00:09:02,133 So-called disrespect 259 00:09:02,133 --> 00:09:03,233 non-disrespect 260 00:09:03,233 --> 00:09:04,300 It's disrespectful 261 00:09:05,133 --> 00:09:06,600 He said some sound waves. 262 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,366 Those sound waves travel through your ears and into your brain. 263 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,600 Your brain learns from past experience 264 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,766 Classify them as "disrespectful" to the label. 265 00:09:15,300 --> 00:09:18,733 And then your emotional system launched a full-scale counterattack against the label 266 00:09:19,266 --> 00:09:22,066 But disrespect is not an objective entity. 267 00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:25,366 It's a decision your brain makes at that moment. 268 00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:27,866 Change someone to sit in your place 269 00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:29,200 Hear the same thing 270 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,066 Probably not offended at all 271 00:09:31,966 --> 00:09:33,466 You can also try a deeper one 272 00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:34,966 You say, "I'm not good enough." 273 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,666 This idea may have been with you for decades 274 00:09:37,666 --> 00:09:38,733 You are convinced 275 00:09:39,066 --> 00:09:39,766 But 276 00:09:39,766 --> 00:09:41,133 Not good enough 277 00:09:41,166 --> 00:09:42,266 Not good enough 278 00:09:42,266 --> 00:09:43,300 The name is not good enough 279 00:09:43,866 --> 00:09:46,400 "Not good enough" is not a fact etched in your bones 280 00:09:46,866 --> 00:09:48,966 It's your brain at a certain age 281 00:09:48,966 --> 00:09:50,300 According to certain experiences 282 00:09:50,333 --> 00:09:51,566 Generated a label 283 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,166 Maybe I got a low score when I was a kid. 284 00:09:54,433 --> 00:09:57,400 Maybe someone important said something that hurt you 285 00:09:57,866 --> 00:10:01,633 Your brain solidifies that momentary judgment into a permanent label. 286 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,566 And you carry that label for decades. 287 00:10:04,766 --> 00:10:06,766 All decisions are influenced by it 288 00:10:07,433 --> 00:10:09,600 But that label was never you 289 00:10:10,066 --> 00:10:12,200 It's an old model. 290 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:13,400 It's long overdue for an update. 291 00:10:13,733 --> 00:10:15,800 This is where the sharpness of Vajra Prajna lies 292 00:10:16,466 --> 00:10:18,000 It doesn't talk to you 293 00:10:18,033 --> 00:10:20,566 I don't tell you, "Look away, let go." 294 00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:25,133 It cuts the line directly between your naming system and your emotional response 295 00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:27,566 Your name system is still working 296 00:10:27,833 --> 00:10:29,633 But you're not being held hostage by it anymore 297 00:10:29,833 --> 00:10:30,333 OK 298 00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:32,866 Here we can go back to the story of Huineng 299 00:10:33,366 --> 00:10:34,366 Those eight words 300 00:10:34,533 --> 00:10:36,400 There should be nothing to live in but a heart 301 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:37,733 What does that mean? 302 00:10:38,166 --> 00:10:40,900 Why can it bring complete enlightenment to an illiterate person? 303 00:10:41,133 --> 00:10:41,700 "Live." 304 00:10:41,866 --> 00:10:44,600 Just stay, stick, stick 305 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,633 Your heart hits something 306 00:10:46,633 --> 00:10:47,766 It's stuck. 307 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:48,666 Can't unplug 308 00:10:48,666 --> 00:10:49,800 That's it. 309 00:10:50,133 --> 00:10:51,200 See delicious 310 00:10:51,366 --> 00:10:52,433 The heart is glued 311 00:10:52,566 --> 00:10:53,433 Live in appetite 312 00:10:54,133 --> 00:10:55,300 Hear others praise you 313 00:10:55,566 --> 00:10:56,366 The heart is glued 314 00:10:56,666 --> 00:10:57,566 Live in praise 315 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,166 Remembering the embarrassing incident last year 316 00:11:00,166 --> 00:11:01,333 The heart is glued 317 00:11:01,366 --> 00:11:02,200 Live in memory 318 00:11:02,766 --> 00:11:05,033 Your heart is glued hundreds of times a day 319 00:11:05,766 --> 00:11:06,866 Should have nowhere to live 320 00:11:07,033 --> 00:11:09,533 Just so your heart doesn't stick to anything 321 00:11:10,166 --> 00:11:12,133 But the key is the last three words 322 00:11:12,366 --> 00:11:13,433 And born of its heart 323 00:11:13,966 --> 00:11:15,800 Not to turn you into a stone 324 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,033 I don't feel anything. 325 00:11:17,466 --> 00:11:21,466 It is to keep your mind awake, alert, and lively. 326 00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:23,066 Respond when it's time to respond 327 00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:24,800 Feel it when it's time to feel it 328 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:25,866 But not sticky 329 00:11:26,366 --> 00:11:27,500 Coming soon. 330 00:11:27,533 --> 00:11:28,500 Go away 331 00:11:29,033 --> 00:11:30,133 Like a mirror 332 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,133 Everything is clearly photographed in front of you 333 00:11:33,566 --> 00:11:34,733 But something was taken 334 00:11:34,866 --> 00:11:36,700 No trace left on the mirror 335 00:11:37,466 --> 00:11:38,400 Think about it. 336 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,533 How many times a day are you kidnapped by your own thoughts? 337 00:11:41,900 --> 00:11:43,300 No message returned. 338 00:11:43,333 --> 00:11:44,966 You start making up the script in your head 339 00:11:45,466 --> 00:11:46,866 One sentence is wrong. 340 00:11:46,966 --> 00:11:49,966 You toss and turn in bed for three hours. 341 00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:51,766 A goal was not achieved 342 00:11:51,766 --> 00:11:53,333 You judge yourself 343 00:11:53,833 --> 00:11:55,233 These are all "live" 344 00:11:55,666 --> 00:11:57,766 Your heart is glued to a spot 345 00:11:57,766 --> 00:11:58,633 Can't move 346 00:11:58,933 --> 00:12:00,633 You call this state anxiety 347 00:12:00,666 --> 00:12:01,600 It's called internal friction. 348 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:02,500 It's called insomnia. 349 00:12:02,966 --> 00:12:05,133 There should be nothing to live in but a heart 350 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:06,766 It's about another way of living 351 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,366 Your heart can deeply touch everything 352 00:12:09,533 --> 00:12:11,233 But not stuck to anything 353 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:12,633 This is not apathy. 354 00:12:12,666 --> 00:12:13,833 Quite the contrary. 355 00:12:13,833 --> 00:12:14,766 This is the ultimate freedom 356 00:12:15,366 --> 00:12:17,766 You can go deeper into something than anyone else. 357 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,200 Because you have no fear 358 00:12:19,866 --> 00:12:22,166 You can let go more simply than anyone else 359 00:12:22,466 --> 00:12:24,500 Because you know the "phase" you put in 360 00:12:24,500 --> 00:12:25,366 Is phase 361 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,433 Not reality 362 00:12:26,866 --> 00:12:27,866 You pay attention 363 00:12:28,033 --> 00:12:29,733 Huineng is an illiterate person. 364 00:12:30,300 --> 00:12:31,800 He hasn't read any classics 365 00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:33,400 I haven't studied any philosophy. 366 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,000 But he understood when he heard these eight words 367 00:12:36,333 --> 00:12:37,300 Why is that? 368 00:12:37,366 --> 00:12:39,066 Because prajna is not knowledge 369 00:12:39,066 --> 00:12:40,366 Prajna is seeing 370 00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:42,333 Knowledge needs to be learned 371 00:12:42,366 --> 00:12:44,033 It only takes an opportunity to see 372 00:12:44,433 --> 00:12:47,066 You don't have to read the entire Diamond Sutra to understand. 373 00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:49,166 You only need one moment 374 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,166 Really see how your heart "lives" up 375 00:12:52,533 --> 00:12:54,333 The act of seeing itself 376 00:12:54,333 --> 00:12:55,166 Prajna 377 00:12:55,766 --> 00:12:56,966 Huineng can do it 378 00:12:56,966 --> 00:12:58,033 You can do it too 379 00:12:58,433 --> 00:12:59,933 The difference is not in IQ 380 00:12:59,933 --> 00:13:02,700 It depends on whether you are willing to stick to that moment 381 00:13:02,866 --> 00:13:03,466 Stop 382 00:13:03,533 --> 00:13:07,100 This is also where the dialogue structure of the Diamond Sutra is particularly noteworthy 383 00:13:07,666 --> 00:13:10,633 The whole sutra is not taught by the Buddha alone 384 00:13:10,666 --> 00:13:12,766 It was his disciple Subhuti who was asking the question 385 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,200 The Buddha replied 386 00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:19,400 Subhuti asked a particularly good question: good men and good women develop bodhichitta 387 00:13:19,766 --> 00:13:21,866 How should I settle my heart? 388 00:13:21,866 --> 00:13:23,800 How should I subdue my heart? 389 00:13:24,166 --> 00:13:24,866 You see 390 00:13:24,866 --> 00:13:27,433 This problem is the problem you face every day 391 00:13:28,166 --> 00:13:29,300 You're upset. 392 00:13:29,633 --> 00:13:30,700 You want to house it? 393 00:13:31,166 --> 00:13:32,466 Your mind went wild 394 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:33,833 You want to subdue it 395 00:13:34,533 --> 00:13:37,133 But the Buddha's
