但去觉悟无心

“心在哪里？”，这是一个很好的问题。

当年二祖问达摩，“师父，我心不安，请为我安心。”达摩说，“把你的心拿来，我为你安。”二祖寻思良久，说“我找不到心。”达摩说，“我为你安好了。”

找不到心，是因为无心，了悟到本来没有心，就是把心安好，这就是最大安心。无心是最大的安心。

心本来是无的，于本来无心中妄生一个心、妄生一些心，这是众生烦恼痛苦、妄作妄为的开始。若能了悟本来无心，所作俱息，安即本然。

于一切时在诸法上，觉悟无心，觉悟有心，是真修行。无心是本然，有心是虚妄。有心皆虚妄，生死根结起，了达心不真，直通真道场。真道场者，无心之知境也。

去体会无心，能体会到无心，从前所作俱息，安心无为，始进诸佛之境界，开启佛法正修行。名为入佛门，修佛法，在此之前，只是造作，增诸业故。

一个人只有体会到本来无心，他才能真看到妄心生起，并了知妄心不真，他才能不为所动，他才能安心无为，任运自在，所作俱息的。在此之前，他的作为，只是造作，增自业力。譬如一个不会游泳的人掉进了水里，越挣扎，越折腾，越增进死因。如果他得到正确的教导，抱头静息，始得重生因缘。一个人修行佛法，得新生因缘，和这道理是一样的。

会游泳人教不会游泳人说，如果你掉进水里，不要恐惧挣扎，镇静，抱头屈膝，然后你就会有一个翻身；反转于水面，而后抱头静仰，等待人来救援。诸佛教掉进烦恼痛苦之水中的众生说，镇静，不要恐惧挣扎；止息，不要胡乱折腾——去觉悟无心；觉了无心，然后观察妄心生起，观察妄心不真，而后不为所动，安心无为，任烟波生灭，然后天水澄清，碧色万里。

你本来无心，见不必有心，闻不必有心，觉不必有心，知不必有心，譬如镜子无心可以照映万象，琵琶无心可以出诸乐声，你不必有心而见闻觉知。你若会无心而见闻觉知，即会诸佛之用心，菩萨之澄意，修行之妙道，自在之真味了。

初修行菩萨，籍由觅心，籍由觅心“了不可得”，去觉悟无心。由觉悟无心，而会诸佛之用心。

诸佛安住于无心，观察于妄心之生灭，然后不为所碍，如从林中过，片叶不沾身。妄心生灭不是个问题，如枝上花开花落不碍观树人吃喝玩乐。修行人但会无心，即会诸佛之密要。会得无心，即会诸佛之用心，菩萨之澄意，修行之妙道，自在之真味了。真实不虚。

无心之心，是真心，是道场，是净土，是佛国，是西方极乐世界，是诸佛之护教，菩萨之乐居，行者之慕往。能会无心，即会诸佛菩萨之秘密。能得无心，即到诸佛菩萨之驻地。

众生所谓心者，是思维，是分别，是较意，是想集，是绳之打结，是巾之挽扣，是水之起波，是烟之聚尘，是露之凝结，短暂之现有，如幻之空觉，看似有物存，扑之如捞月。如镜里花，看的，捻不得；如梦中之美人，见的，醒来之士抱不得。

诸修行者，但去觉悟无心，觉悟幻之妄起，能于自性里见有见无，见有心见无心，即见佛与众生，即会诸佛之内秘，菩萨之大教。即会修行，始趣安乐。

“What is presence now? Everything... Taste saliva, smell, think, what is that? Snap of a finger, sing.  All ordinary activity, zero effort therefore nothing attained. Yet is full accomplishment. In esoteric terms, eat God, taste God, see God, hear God...lol. That is the first thing I told Mr. J few years back when he first messaged me 😂 If a mirror is there, this is not possible. If clarity isn't empty, this isn't possible. Not even slightest effort is needed. Do you feel it? Grabbing of my legs as if I am grabbing presence! Do you have this experience already? When there is no mirror, then entire existence is just lights-sounds-sensations as single presence. Presence is grabbing presence. The movement to grab legs is Presence.. the sensation of grabbing legs is Presence.. For me even typing or blinking my eyes. For fear that it is misunderstood, don't talk about it. Right understanding is no presence, for every single sense of knowingness is different. Otherwise Mr. J will say nonsense... lol. When there is a mirror, this is not possible. Think I wrote to longchen (Sim Pern Chong) about 10 years ago.” - John Tan from years back

“It is such a blessing after 15 years of "I Am" to come to this point . Beware that the habitual tendencies will try its very best to take back what it has lost. Get use to doing nothing. Eat God, taste God, see God and touch God.

Congrats.” – John Tan to Sim Pern Chong after his initial breakthrough from I AM to no-self in 2006, http://awakeningtoreality.blogspot.com/2013/12/part-2-of-early-forum-posts-by-thusness_3.html

“An interesting comment Mr. J. After realization… Just eat God, breathe God, smell God and see God… Lastly be fully unestablished and liberate God.” - John Tan, 2012

(Soh: Lest readers misinterpret that John is affirming a substantialist notion of a ‘God’, it should be noted that by the phase of Anatta realization, there is simply no more reifications or conceivings of a metaphysical ‘God’ or ‘Creator’ of any kind, and John was simply using the lingo of Mr. J to convey the complete absence of a background substratum of Presence and the total luminosity of Presencing-as-manifestation to Mr. J using Mr. J’s ‘esoteric lingo’. Even the word ‘Presence’ is not referring to some static entity here - ‘Presencing’ is perhaps a better term, for as James M. Corrigan wrote, “...Awareness is not something other than the “presencing” (i.e. naturing) of appearances. It is not a thing. It is not part of a thing. It is not an “aspect” of a process… ...it is the process—not some aspect of it”

[11:59 PM, 6/16/2020] John Tan: (On the See god, eat god… post) Don't underestimate this.  An insight as important as anatta post the insight. Focus on this part. It is very important, if you can Intuit the insight that lead to this, the rest is not important.  There are many intellectual obscurations and at times the mind is being block and just can't release itself.  Same insight but just can't apply it on different situation relating to different mental proliferation.  The Freedom and release from such an insight is not freedom from conceptuality but a freedom from seeing distinction thereby leading to a direct authentication.  Because it is such an important insight, I will write something for you maybe later.  Focus on it diligently.

Too lazy to translate so I'll leave the Google translation (Google translation seems to have improved over the years although no where near perfect yet)

What is God?

Question: What is God?

 

Obviously, God is everything. God is flowers, grass, trees, every grain of sand, every pinch of dust, every gleam of light. Nothing is not God. God is pervasive in every existence, it does not leave out any place in space, it is uninterrupted in time, and God is meticulous in the entire universe. God is matter and density, spirit and perception.

 

I live in the world of God: I eat God, sleep with God, use God, sit with God, and lie on the "bed"-my God when I am sleepy. To me, every one, every kind, every person, every aspect that created my life is my God. I have to respect them because they love and support my existence with unchangeable firmness. They make up my world, my life, and my life.

 

I am a person who loves God, I love every look, every identity, every performance, and every contribution of it. I love it unconditionally, because it is pure kindness. If it were not for me to inflict pain on me, I would always enjoy being in the heavenly world unconditionally worshipped by God. There is everything there, everything is satisfied, I am grateful for God's care and support.

 

Knowing the world of God begins when I wake up from my "me" dream. I meet every god and every face of God, and I face it face to face at all times. In the zero-distance love with God, I reap joy, I am grateful, I have to become humble, and I have nothing else. Way. The flowers had to open, the water had to flow down, where God’s finger was my home, my direction and my goal. I obeyed God, I walked in the direction of the river.

 

God is everything you can see, God is everything you can hear, God is everything you can smell; God is everything you taste, and God is everything you feel. God is also everything you imagine, every thought, every A string of stories. God is both inside and outside. God is on my six passages. God is everywhere in life, where you can reach, where you can go, and where you can be aware.

 

This is a God's world, you made it. You created God, then God created you, and then you created everything together. This is a wonderful world, and it is an interesting story to know "God is me and I am everything". Through the mirror provided by God: flowers, grass, trees, everything, let the heart recognize its endless faces or faces. Living is a process of gradually recognizing yourself and constantly admiring your infinite appearance. How rich, life! God is fixed, but it is always changing because the heart is changing.

 

Do you understand the heart and God? This is the end of understanding. Once you understand God and your heart, you no longer need to know more, because you are satisfied with everything and the "being" is more than you need. Knowing God and the heart is the most infinite mystery of life. How beautiful it is to be born to know and to be conscious.

Dzogchen's term 'mirror' is merely conventional but empty. Try telling that to Mr. J, though. Always unchanging unchanging unchanging.
