There is viewpoint which many people seem to have
it wrong – [6th Patriarch said: Fore thought don’t grow is the
Heart, Hind thought don’t disintegrate is the Buddha], it is this sentence that
many misinterpreted. Some people believe that [Fore thought] passes, and [Hind
thought] don’t develop, in the middle of this is our Buddha Nature.
This is misinterpretation of 6th Patriarch’s
meaning.
6th Patriarch said, those that had
passed, all passed, don’t put into your heart, those that are coming in the
future, you also don’t need to be bothered by them, at this time, No [Fore
thought], [Hind thought], the future becomes the present and then the past, all
will disintegrate and disappeared, since don’t have [Fore thought] and also don’t
have [Hind thought], at this very moment is Buddha; not in between [Fore
thought] and [Hind thought].
Many has mistaken this two sentences. Because of
them, from time immemorial there are debates on them, don’t really know the
true meaning of them. At the present, only GM Lu knows. (Crowd applauds).
The past, all have passed on, the future will
become the present and then the past too. Accordingly, all matters do not stay
in our hearts. At this very moment, you are the Buddha. This then is the 6th
Patriarch’s meaning. (Crowd applauds).
That is to say, all thoughts do not put into your
heart, all let them pass on; if you can let all external environmental factors
not stay/remain in your heart, all thoughts totally passed on, equals to NO
THOUGHT, at this time, you are the Buddha. This is what 6th
Patriarch said.

By Steven Thung: Knowing all
thoughts and not fixated/attached to any one of them, that is Awaken/Enlighten
sentient being [Buddha], the opposite is those Lost and Ignorance Buddha
[Sentient Being].
