This line speaks directly to an issue of attachment that I\u2019ve been aware of in my cultivation. It\u2019s not that I let go of everything at this very moment. I am not there in my cultivation to see that all marks are empty and false, but I believe that marks are a marker for cultivation. A saying goes &#8220;We have lost our minds.\u201d Indeed, we have lost our praj\u00f1a mind and take up the false mind to be true and real. Our false mind is always thinking about the pursuit of comfort, material gains, and sentimentality. \u00a0Therefore, we habitually attaches to these physical and mental objects that encompass our mind. The sutra calls these physical and mental objects as marks. \u00a0These marks create a self and our attachment to them makes our mind narrow and limited, and its natural function, praj\u00f1a, is lost. In order for us to eliminate our attachments, the Vajra Sutra guides us to practice \u201cseeing marks as empty and false\u201d so that we can use our praj\u00f1a mind, which is imbued with expansiveness and good will, in our daily life. Essentially, the practice of &#8220;seeing marks as empty and false&#8221; means to live without being attached to or limited by marks.<\/p>\n<p>\u91d1\u525b\u7d93\u8ff0\u8aaa\u4e00\u5207\u76f8\u90fd\u662f\u7121\u5be6\u7684\u3002\u9019\u53e5\u8207\u6211\u5728\u4fee\u884c\u7684\u9053\u8def\u4e0a\u6bd4\u8f03\u57f7\u8457\u7684\u554f\u984c\uff0c\u6709\u4e86\u4e00\u500b\u76f4\u63a5\u7684\u95dc\u806f\u3002\u6211\u4e0d\u662f\u5728\u8aaa\u6211\u53ef\u4ee5\u5728\u4e00\u500b\u77ac\u9593\u5167\u653e\u4e0b\u6240\u6709\u4e00\u5207\u3002\u6211\u7684\u4fee\u884c\u9084\u6c92\u9054\u5230\u80fd\u5920\u770b\u6e05\u4e00\u5207\u76f8\u662f\u7121\u5be6\u7684\uff0c\u4f46\u662f\u6211\u6df1\u4fe1\u4e00\u5207\u76f8\u90fd\u662f\u6211\u5728\u4fee\u884c\u9053\u8def\u4e0a\u7684\u6a19\u8a8c\u3002\u5e38\u8a00\u9053\uff1a\u201c\u6211\u5011\u5df2\u5931\u53bb\u4e86\u7406\u667a\u201d\u3002\u6211\u5011\u7684\u78ba\u5df2\u5931\u53bb\u4e86\u822c\u82e5\u5fc3\uff0c\u5df2\u628a\u865b\u507d\u548c\u771f\u5be6\u6df7\u4e82\u4e86\u3002\u6211\u5011\u7684\u2014\u2014\u7d93\u5e38\u8ffd\u6c42\u5b89\u6170\uff0c\u7269\u8cea\uff0c\u8207\u611f\u60c5\u3002\u56e0\u6b64\uff0c\u6211\u5011\u7fd2\u6163\u6027\u7684\u57f7\u8457\u8207\u9019\u4e9b\u7269\u9ad4\u8207\u7cbe\u795e\u4e0a\u7684\u6771\u897f\u3002\u91d1\u525b\u7d93\u88e1\u7a31\u9019\u4e9b\u57f7\u8457\u70ba\u76f8\u3002\u9019\u4e9b\u76f8\u56e0\u70ba\u8b93\u6211\u5011\u57f7\u8457\uff0c\u800c\u8b93\u6211\u5011\u7684\u601d\u8def\u8b8a\u5f97\u72f9\u7a84\u3002\u56e0\u6b64\uff0c\u5b83\u5df2\u5931\u53bb\u4e86\u822c\u82e5\uff0c\u5931\u53bb\u4e86\u81ea\u7136\u7684\u529f\u80fd\uff1b\u70ba\u4e86\u53bb\u9664\u57f7\u8457\uff0c\u91d1\u525b\u7d93\u5f15\u5c0e\u6211\u5011\u628a\u4e00\u5207\u76f8\u8996\u70ba\u7121\u5be6\u7684\u3002\u5c07\u822c\u82e5\u5fc3\u5728\u65e5\u5e38\u751f\u6d3b\u88e1\u904b\u7528\u3002\u672c\u8cea\u4e0a\u628a\u4e00\u5207\u76f8\u70ba\u865b\u5047\uff0c\u5c31\u662f\u8981\u4e0d\u57f7\u8457\u6216\u88ab\u9650\u5236\u8207\u76f8\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Praj\u00f1a is not somewhere in another dimension. When marks are false and empty, it is not that we shut ourselves in a room and forget about the world. Consider to close your eyes, block your ears, taste nothing, smell nothing, and touch nothing. What would you be doing? You would still be doing something because there is one thing that cannot stop and that is thinking. You were probably thinking about things that you had seen, tasted, smelled, or touched in the past. It\u2019s important to understand that if you were to cultivate with no thought of others, indeed no thought of living beings, then things will still stay the same and you wouldn\u2019t be able to improve your mind in that way. In truth, marks themselves are not obstacles. If you were aware of the things that you encounter, you will see that every encounter is an opportunity to use your praj\u00f1a mind to improve and change your thoughts with respect to certain attachments. Therefore, praj\u00f1a is accessible right here, right now.<\/p>\n<p>\u822c\u82e5\u4e0d\u662f\u5728\u53e6\u4e00\u500b\u6642\u7a7a\u3002\u4e00\u5207\u76f8\u90fd\u662f\u7121\u5be6\u7684\u610f\u601d\uff0c\u4e0d\u4ee3\u8868\u662f\u628a\u81ea\u5df1\u95dc\u5728\u623f\u9593\u88cf\u800c\u5fd8\u537b\u4e16\u754c\uff1b\u5c31\u7b97\u4f60\u628a\u773c\u775b\u9589\u8d77\u4f86\uff0c\u628a\u8033\u6735\u5c01\u8d77\u4f86\uff0c \u5617\u4e0d\u5230\u5473\u9053\uff0c\u805e\u4e0d\u5230\uff0c\u4e5f\u6478\u4e0d\u5230\uff0c\u4f46\u90a3\u662f\u4f60\u5728\u505a\u4ec0\u9ebc\u5462\uff1f\u4f60\u4e00\u5b9a\u6703\u5728\u6253\u5984\u60f3\uff0c\u56e0\u7232\u6709\u4e00\u4ef6\u4e8b\u505c\u4e0d\u4e86\u7684\uff0c\u90a3\u5c31\u662f\u5984\u60f3\u3002\u4f60\u4e00\u5b9a\u6703\u60f3\u5230\u4f60\u4ee5\u524d\u770b\u904e\uff0c\u5403\u904e\uff0c\u805e\u904e\uff0c\u6216\u6478\u904e\u4ec0\u9ebc\u3002\u61c2\u5f97\u5728\u4fee\u884c\u6642\u5fc3\u4e2d\u7121\u96dc\u5ff5\u662f\u5f88\u91cd\u8981\u7684\uff0c\u7684\u78ba\uff0c\u5982\u679c\u4eba\u6c92\u6709\u4e86\u601d\u60f3\uff0c\u4ed6\u5c31\u4e0d\u6703\u6539\u9032\uff0c\u6703\u505c\u6eef\u4e0d\u524d\uff0c\u800c\u9019\u500b\u4eba\u5c31\u6c92\u6709\u8fa6\u6cd5\u7cbe\u9032\u81ea\u5df1\u7684\u4fee\u884c\u3002\u4e8b\u5be6\u4e0a\uff0c\u76f8\u672c\u8eab\u4e0d\u662f\u969c\u7919\u3002\u5982\u679c\u4f60\u610f\u8b58\u5230\u4f60\u6240\u6709\u9047\u5230\u7684\u4e8b\u60c5\u90fd\u662f\u4f60\u7684\u6a5f\u6703\u53bb\u904b\u7528\u822c\u82e5\u5fc3\u53bb\u6539\u9032\u6539\u5584\u4f60\u7684\u601d\u60f3\uff0c\u4e26\u5c0d\u4e00\u4e9b\u7279\u6b8a\u7684\u57f7\u8457\u6709\u7279\u5225\u7684\u8a8d\u8b58\uff0c\u90a3\u9ebc\uff0c\u822c\u82e5\u5c31\u5728\u773c\u524d\u3002<\/p>\n<p>At home is where I see how my cultivation improved or did not improve.

It was until that point when I thought about putting my myself in danger, of being out on the streets, of letting my body starve, of letting my parents worry about me, that I had to get some food as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u6211\u5750\u5728\u8857\u4e0a\u5c31\u50cf\u4e00\u540d\u6d41\u6d6a\u6f22\u3002\u4eba\u5011\u770b\u8457\u6211\uff0c\u6709\u5e7e\u500b\u8def\u904e\u7684\u4eba\u751a\u81f3\u671d\u6211\u5927\u558a\u3002\u6211\u60f3\u54ed\u3002\u65bc\u662f\u6211\u8d77\u8eab\u8d70\u4e86\u5927\u7d0412\u82f1\u91cc\uff0c\u60f3\u8981\u5728\u6cbf\u8def\u627e\u4e00\u4e9b\u74f6\u74f6\u7f50\u7f50\u80fd\u5920\u96c6\u9f4a1.5\u7f8e\u5143\uff0c\u9019\u6a23\u6211\u5c31\u53ef\u4ee5\u7528\u9019\u9322\u53bb\u661f\u5df4\u514b\u8cb7\u4e00\u4efd\u786c\u9762\u5305\u5708\u4e86\u3002\u6211\u8d70\u5230\u6c92\u6709\u529b\u6c23\uff0c\u53ef\u6211\u53ea\u96c6\u9f4a\u4e8650\u5206\u3002\u5230\u4e86\u665a\u4e0a6\u9ede\uff0c\u6211\u5df2\u7d9326\u500b\u5c0f\u6642\u6c92\u6709\u9032\u98df\u4e86\u3002\u71b1\u6c23\u4e5f\u5728\u5c07\u6211\u4fb5\u8755\uff0c\u6211\u96a8\u6642\u90fd\u53ef\u80fd\u6b7b\u53bb\u3002\u4e00\u60f3\u5230\u6211\u73fe\u5728\u6b63\u5728\u9762\u81e8\u5371\u96aa\uff0c\u96bb\u8eab\u5728\u5927\u8857\u4e0a\uff0c\u98e2\u9913\u4fb5\u8755\u8457\u6211\u7684\u8eab\u9ad4\uff0c\u6211\u7236\u6bcd\u6703\u5f88\u64d4\u5fc3\u6211\u7684\uff0c\u6211\u4fbf\u7acb\u523b\u53bb\u627e\u98df\u7269\u3002<\/p>\n<p>I asked a stranger if he could spare me $1.00 and get his number so that I could pay him back the next time.

He told me that the worst thing that I could do as a daughter is to disappoint my parents and cause them to feel neglected. From that point, I was shocked. I wanted to cry.

I created a new set of conditions instead of working out my present conditions with them. Master Hua calls this putting a head on top of another head. This is also like putting whipped cream on top of butter. But I learned that I can\u2019t get away from the current conditions.

Overall, human beings amidst world things and ordinary human problems (marks) are meant to pave the way in order to achieve progress in cultivation.<\/p>\n<p>\u7d93\u5178\u88e1\u9762\u63d0\u5230\u6c92\u6709\u57f7\u8457\u7684\u83e9\u85a9\u5011\u90fd\u5728\u767c\u5149\u3002\u4f5b\u9640\u5c31\u5c0d\u9808\u83e9\u63d0\u8aaa\uff0c\u5982\u679c\u4e00\u500b\u4eba\u60f3\u8981\u770b\u6e05\u4e8b\u60c5\uff0c\u5c31\u5f97\u6210\u70ba\u83e9\u85a9\u3002\u90a3\u6563\u767c\u51fa\u4f86\u7684\u5149\uff0c\u53ef\u4ee5\u8aaa\u662f\u6211\u5011\u5167\u5fc3\u7684\u822c\u82e5\u3002\u7576\u6211\u518d\u6b21\u56de\u5bb6\u7684\u6642\u5019\uff0c\u6211\u6703\u8a66\u8457\u4e0d\u8b93\u81ea\u5df1\u592a\u57f7\u8457\uff0c\u53cd\u800c\u53bb\u8046\u807d\u4ed6\u5011\u7684\u8981\u6c42\u3002\u7e3d\u7684\u4f86\u8aaa\uff0c\u773e\u751f\u5728\u4e16\u9593\u548c\u4eba\u5011\u7684\u554f\u984c\u5167\uff0c\u53ef\u4ee5\u5c0b\u627e\u5728\u4fee\u884c\u4e0a\u6709\u6240\u6210\u5c31\u7684\u9053\u8def\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Marks, far from being obstacles to prajna, provide a means to realize it. So it is not a question between marks versus prajna but that trying to understand the one leads you to the other and they are not separate. This is similar to bodhi is afflictions and afflictions are bodhi. They are not two since afflictions changes into bodhi then one is detached from marks and bodhi changes into afflictions when one is attached to marks. \u00a0When the clouds are cleared, the ever-shining sun, our genuine prajna, manifests. Even when when see an attractive person or things of value, appear in front of us, we can see how how our minds are trying to fill up that space with those objects. That limitation prevents our mind to create a space for it to see them for what they are. When we actually practice watching and guarding our minds through the practice of \u201cseeing marks as they are\u201d, only then will our prajna manifests.<\/p>\n<p>\u76f8\uff0c\u9060\u9060\u4e0d\u662f\u822c\u82e5\u5fc3\u7684\u969c\u7919\uff0c\u53cd\u800c\u662f\u63d0\u4f9b\u4e86\u89ba\u9192\u7684\u65b9\u6cd5\u3002\u6240\u4ee5\u4e0d\u662f\u76f8\uff0c\u822c\u82e5\u7684\u5c0d\u6bd4\uff1b\u9019\u5169\u6a23\u6771\u897f\u4e0d\u662f\u5206\u958b\u7684\uff0c\u800c\u662f\u60f3\u8b93\u6211\u5011\u901a\u904e\u4e00\u500b\u53bb\u4e86\u89e3\u53e6\u5916\u4e00\u500b\u3002\u9019\u548c\u83e9\u63d0\u5373\u662f\u7169\u60f1\uff0c\u7169\u60f1\u5c31\u662f\u83e9\u63d0\u5f88\u76f8\u4f3c\u3002\u4ed6\u5011\u4e0d\u662f\u5206\u958b\u5f97\uff0c\u56e0\u70ba\u5982\u679c\u7169\u60f1\u6703\u8f49\u63db\u6210\u83e9\u63d0\uff0c\u90a3\u9ebc\u6211\u5011\u5df2\u4e0d\u6703\u57f7\u8457\u65bc\u76f8\uff1b\u53cd\u4e4b\u5982\u679c\u6211\u5011\u57f7\u8457\u65bc\u76f8\u90a3\u9ebc\u83e9\u63d0\u5c07\u5316\u70ba\u7169\u60f1\u6642\uff0c\u6211\u5011\u5df2\u57f7\u8457\u65bc\u76f8\u3002\u7576\u70cf\u96f2\u5df2\u6563\uff0c\u967d\u5149\u71e6\u721b\u6642\uff0c\u6211\u5011\u7684\u822c\u82e5\u5fc3\u76db\u958b\u3002\u7576\u6211\u5011\u9047\u898b\u4e00\u500b\u6709\u50f9\u503c\u7684\u7269\u54c1\uff0c\u6216\u4e00\u500b\u597d\u770b\u7684\u4eba\uff0c\u6211\u5011\u80fd\u5920\u7d66\u638c\u63a7\u6211\u5011\u7684\u5fc3\uff0c\u770b\u8457\u5b83\u628a\u6211\u5011\u5fc3\u88e1\u7684\u7a7a\u586b\u6eff\u3002\u9019\u7a2e\u9650\u5236\u963b\u6514\u8005\u6211\u5011\u770b\u900f\u4e00\u5207\u76f8\u3002\u7576\u6211\u5011\u4ed4\u7d30\u5730\u89c0\u5bdf\uff0c\u770b\u900f\u4e00\u5207\u76f8\uff0c\u7262\u7262\u5b88\u885b\u6642\uff0c\u6211\u5011\u7684\u822c\u82e5\u5fc3\u624d\u6703\u76db\u958b\u3002<\/p>\n<p>Not only that we eliminate attachments to help ourselves, but we can then help sentient beings no longer trapped in their own self and its imagined needs. \u00a0Moreover, the Vajra Sutra says that in order for praj\u00f1a, our light, to manifest, we have to become Bodhisattvas. \u00a0After all we still live amidst marks, it is only a matter of how much or less attachments we have.
