Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra - Xuanzang

Chapter 1 Prologue

The second instrument is a long sentence, everything is prepared for the week, the ruler is the ruler of the people, and the ruler who educates the people follows the law.The three cardinal guides and the five permanent principles are used to show the world, and the five punishments are also used to assist the prime minister.Those who are stubborn and do not follow the teachings often have the behavior of rushing into the abyss, and they will not reflect on themselves in the end.It is a fierce and stubborn person, which is unique to China, and it is the same in the whole world.The Buddha born in the Western Regions of Russia is called Sakyamuni, and he is also a Buddha.Therefore, it is the effect of going out of the world to get rid of the bitterness, to be kind, to endure humiliation, and to make a clear heart to establish one's life.Today's people don't know why the Buddha always says that the Dharma is empty and unreal, why he guides gentlemen and trains villains.Not so in my words.The teachings of the Buddha are real but not false. They want to get rid of the falsehood of ignorance and establish the reality of their nature.In the past, when the Buddha was around, those who followed him were all wise men, and those who spoke were based on the principles of the three cardinal principles and five constant principles.After hearing it, everyone will be blessed.After the Buddha passed away, his Dharma flowed into China, and there were some wise people who acted out the small fruits of human and heaven and could turn evil into good, let alone those who knew the Mahayana and understood the purpose.Just as the Heart Sutra speaks of emptiness without telling the truth, what is said is emptiness.In addition to emptiness, the nature of what exists is also.Therefore, there are six appearances and emptinesses, that is, the mouth is empty of speech, the eyes are empty of form, the ears are empty of hearing, the nose is empty of smell, the tongue is empty of taste, and the body is empty of joy.The six emptinesses are not the emptiness of the truth, but the emptiness of delusion. They are emptiness, foolishness and misfortune to the world and the past.Si Kongxiang, the previous emperors who were deceived and almost lost the world, King Mu of Zhou, Emperor Wu of Han, Xuanzong of Tang, Emperor Xiaoliang Wu, Yuan Wei Zhutao, Li Houzhu, Song Huizong.These few emperors abolished the country and neglected the government, but Emperor Xiaoliang Wu, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and Shashen all ascended from delusion and entered the Buddha's heaven.The Buddha's heaven and earth are not so vast, and such happiness exists in the world, but people who are greedy and unaware of it, and take pleasure in what is in the world, how can it be like the Buddha's heaven and earth.Those who are kings and princes, if they do not do wrong things and are able to protect this environment, how about those who are not Buddhas and heavens.You can't be conservative and false, and use the mind of delusion to enter the realm of emptiness. Therefore, it is like this. Those who are virtuous but not virtuous are not benevolent and gentlemen if they are entangled, and those whose monkhood is entangled cannot establish their nature and see their purpose.Therefore, the title of this sutra says that those who want to get rid of the evil thoughts of the mind and return to the right path are not delusional in Buddhism.I describe this in particular, so that the wise can see the overturning of the two ceremonies, the cycle of the sun and the moon, which one to choose between the false and the real, and how to save one's life.If you take the right way and keep the right way, wouldn't it be good for Buddhism!The wonder of color and space!
