Live with an unknown heart
“Anyway, in the end,
We want to live with a heart we don’t know,
And that’s the life of a saint.
A saint keeps a heart that doesn’t know, not a heart that knows.
The divine power of a saint is to be ignorant,
Not omniscient. “

If you go to a banquet,
Manchu and Han banquet,
Or at least ten dishes and eight bowls,
You will choose your favorite meal and eat it,
You have no time to care about what you don’t like. You choose what you like,
And then you’re full of food and drink, and you’re happy,
Satisfaction and return.
~
If you’re a beggar,
Hungry and cold, hungry, hungry, and naked,
You’re standing at the door with your bowl in your hand,
Waiting for something to eat,
You are not sure whether they will give them or not, and you are worried that they will not,
If someone gives it to you,
Whatever the food,
You’re all happy to accept,
And eat happily.
Then the belly is solid,
Take a long breath and feel satisfied.
~
If you’re in your own home,
Your husband or wife or your parents cooked the meal,
Some are to your mouth, and some are not to your mouth,
Sometimes like your heart, sometimes not as good as your heart.
You can pick and choose,
When you don’t like what you say, you will
The heart is full of resentment, or angry, or petty,
Make yourself and others unhappy.
~
It’s the same as eating,
The same you, different circumstances, your reaction is very different.
Why?
Why can’t you react the same way?
What makes you behave differently?
Can you go beyond that cause and react as one?
This is a question worth pondering.
~
If you don’t understand the underlying factors,
If you can’t go beyond them,
Like any mortal in the world,
You can work outside.
What does external effort mean——
Or you go to dinner like a king,
Or you’ll be like a beggar.
~
Or you have both:
Beg as a king——
And this is the internal law,
Buddha’s Dharma.
~
Begging as a king,
That is the case of the Buddha, and that is the deeds of the Buddhas.
A Buddha stood at the door of a family with a bowl,
He was serene and dignified,
You wait quietly, he practices waiting,
He watched with interest what kind of food would enter his bowl,
For him, no is also a kind of existence,
No matter what happens, it’s a surprise to him,
Because he lives in his heart that never knows.
~
Never know the heart, you give it any kind of answer is a surprise, a kind of satisfaction,
It’s like an empty bowl, like an empty bowl,
No matter you put sand, money or anything into it, it can make beautiful music,
Even if you put it into the air, it seems to have a voice of emptiness.
The heart of a Buddha is an empty bowl and bowl,
It waits for something to touch it, meet it, respond to it, whatever, it gives you a beautiful music.
~
Buddha is a very beautiful beggar,
He was a king begging.
His begging is practice——
He is practicing a kind of waiting meditation, he is doing a kind of waiting practice,
He was meditating, waiting,
He is testing and using his unknown heart, his pure heart, the beautiful heart that everyone has,
A heart like a new dress.
~
That kind of heart is never choosy,
It doesn’t choose,
It goes beyond like it or not,
It always lives in ignorance,
It’s just action, and then wait for the grace of form to come,
It is always in the harvest of joy,
It’s in constant gratitude,
It’s like a flower laughing with its beauty and fragrance,
It is constantly living out the beauty of hollow.
Hollow and holy heart is the unknown heart
The heart that does not store and is not affected by it,
It’s the heart like a new dress.
~
Friends,
The reason why people’s lives are difficult and difficult is that life is not easy,
Because they are far away from this heart,
It’s because they’re in “yes.”——
They entered the illusion of the hollow,
They are misled by the image illusion of the heart,
So step on heaven, head in hell.
~
Friends,
To get rid of this situation, find the hollow – the heart you don’t know is the key.
When you find the heart you don’t know and live in the heart you don’t know,
Experience and life will be totally different.
Everyone in the world lives in the fantasy of the heart. Who lives in the empty heart – the heart that doesn’t know.
Those who live in that heart must be Buddha,
The heart is the lotus palace, and the heart is the wonderful palace,
True, never false.
~
Taoist friends,
Now your heart revolves around whether you like your work or not, and hesitates before you like it or not,
It’s because I’ve been away from the heart that I don’t know for eighty-four thousand li, eighty-four thousand years.
Find the heart and live in it
Start from knowing nothing, and then observe the grace of being.
If you can, you beg as a king,
You are a Buddhist like beggar.
~
If you’re not there yet,
Just like the world
Treat your work like a hungry beggar,
Like it or not,
Bring you food is worth valuing, is worth Thanksgiving, is called beautiful.
Or treat your life like a grand banquet,
Choose the food you like and take care of the one you don’t like.
~
In the face of food, if you stop eating chopsticks before you like it or not,
That means you’re not hungry;
Then eat when you are hungry,
It’s better to wait until you’re hungry and thirsty, and you’ll gobble it up.
~
Anyway, in the end,
We want to live with a heart we don’t know,
And that’s the life of a saint.
A saint keeps a heart that doesn’t know, not a heart that knows.
The divine power of a saint is to be ignorant,
Not omniscient.
