慧命 / Ayasmant - Wisdom Life

link: http://www.baike.com/wiki/%E6%85%A7%E5%91%BD

1. 谓具寿命。又作具寿。乃对有德比丘之尊称。摩诃僧祇律卷十三(大二二·三三二下):‘佛住舍卫城时,慧命罗侯罗到。’(参阅‘具寿’3079)

2.指法身以智慧为生命。如色身必赖饮食长养,而法身必赖智慧以长养。若智慧之命夭伤,则法身之体亡失。天台四教仪(大四六·七七五下):‘末代钝根,于佛法中起断灭见,夭伤慧命,亡失法身。’[法华文句卷九下、金刚经疏记科会卷二(长水)、禅苑清规卷七亡僧]
3.(531~568)南北朝僧。太原晋阳(山西)人,俗姓郭。十五岁出家。专修方等、普贤等忏法。后游河阳仙城山,住善光寺。复偕友游学,参礼思、邈二师,方尽袪所滞。北周天和(566~571)初年,返仙城山,弘扬所学。于天和三年示寂,世寿三十八。著有大品义章、融心论等。[佛祖统纪卷二十八、续高僧传卷十七、卷二十一、释门正统卷三]

1. 指弘传的佛法。佛教以智慧为法身的寿命,智慧夭,则法身亡,故云慧命。 宋 张商英 《护法论》:“如斯人也,使之侍君,则佞其君,絶佛种性,断佛慧命。” 清 钱谦益 《毛子晋六十寿序》:“吾友 萧伯玉 、 范质公 议藏《大藏》方册, 子晋 誓愿荷担,续佛慧命。皮纸骨笔,不遑恤也。”

2. 引申指人的智慧所注。 清 周亮工 《书陈石门再游燕台诗后》:“过数日又復袖去,盖恐僕患难中匆匆遗失,断人慧命, 石门 之意何深歟!”

3. 僧人的尊称。 唐 道宣 《四分律行事钞》卷下:“下座称上座为尊者,上座尊下座为慧命。”

Āyasmant (adj.) [Sk. āyuṣmant, the P. form showing as- similation of u to a] lit. old, i. e. venerable; used, either as adj. or absolute as a respectful appellation of a bhikkhu of some standing (cp. the semantically identical thera). 

āyasmantu : [adj.] venerable. (lit. having a long life).


Extracted from above:-

指法身以智慧为生命。如色身必赖饮食长养,而法身必赖智慧以长养.
Means Dharmakaya relies on Wisdom as Life Force/Strength.
Like the Human Form relies on Food and Drink to Grow, the Dharmakaya needs to rely on Wisdom to Grow.

佛教以智慧为法身的寿命,智慧夭,则法身亡,故云慧命。 
Buddhism relies on Wisdom as Dharmakaya's Life Span, Wisdom dies, then Dharmakaya dies, thus termed as Wisdom Life.

Hahaha! Wanted to explain this one for quite some time, especially after receipt of letter from Core, advising me not to break or severe Wisdom Lives of sentient beings!

If you read my articles and especially the one : [You are what you say!]; you will realized  the relevant "wisdom". for cultivation. 
These are mainly what I classified as Mindsets!


Example:
1. The VM that said cannot take Flash Photos of Guru as the camera's flashes hurt Guru's eyes and cause great discomfort! However, this is Not True! A Living Buddha has all the 5 Eyes, and also plenty of Dharmapalas by his sides. Camera flashes DO NOT cause any discomfort to a True Buddha.
People with Heavenly eyes onwards, do not get affected by camera flashes at all!
Go check out the hundreds of camera flashes that went off in Jakarta last year, video recording shown at the Thanks Giving Dinner, of the day's activities.
Don't take my words for it! :)

Truth is that this VM presumed that Guru is affected similarly by camera flashes LIKE HIM!

2. The VM that said that Guru has proprietary rights to Buddha Dharma!
Her statements were immediately refuted by Guru!


My humble advice to all, if you do not want to show the world your lacking of wisdom, please do not fiendishly spray terms and concepts you have no understanding on/about.

Also a humble reminder that Guru said the word 师 teacher means [Someone that has learned and understood a subject, and subsequently shares his/her knowledge with others]. 

Respect Guru means that you also respect all that you learn from!

If you learn concepts and cultivation methods from reading Pure Karma's articles and materials from our blog/blogspot; do not criticize or slander us, as you will be hitting at those that gives you Wisdom Life! 

Hahaha! Don’t bite the hand that feeds your Wisdom Life!
