不立文字,

教外別傳,

直指人心,

見性成佛。

(一)甚麼是「教外別傳」?

(二)你如何直指人心?

(三)「見性成佛」,這是甚麼意思?

評論:

這世界原本是寂靜, 意思是指沒有名、沒有相、沒有文字。如果心生起時, 這時天空、地球、山、河, 一切都出現。如果心熄滅時, 這一切事物往哪裏去? 如果你說返回空性, 表示你已張開咀巴, 這已是過失。你怎樣做? 如果你不明白, 到廚房喝杯冰水吧!

Not depending on words,

A special transmission outside the sutras,

Pointing directly to the mind,

See your true nature, become Buddha.

1. What is a “special transmission outside the sutra?”

2. How do you point directly to the mind?

3. “See your true nature, become Buddha.” What does this mean?

COMMENTARY: This world was originally complete stillness. That means there were no names, no forms, no words. If mind appears, then the sky, the earth, the mountains, the rivers, everything appears. If mind disappears, where do these things return to? If you say, "They return to emptiness," then you have opened your mouth, which is already a mistake. What can you do? If you don't understand, go to the kitchen and drink cold water.
