华严经 - 光明觉品第九~ 众生无智慧? Avatamsaka Sutra- Chapter 9 - Sentient beings do not have wisdom?


English translation inserted by Lotuschef.

Above: From GM Lu's dharma speech on 13 Jan 2018 ~
True Repentance is repentance directed at One's own Heart.
And Not directed towards Shizun or Grandmaster.
It is repentance directed towards One's own Buddha Nature, 
towards One's Inherent Nature.
Everything ~ All Heavens and star constellation is watching,
They then are the audience.
Have to Reveal all your deeds completely.

      
    "众生无智慧,爱刺所伤毒,为彼求菩提,诸佛法如是。
    普见于诸法,二边皆舍离,道成永不退,转此无等轮。

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

◎经文-The sutra's contents -
尔时,一切处文殊师利菩萨,各于佛所,同时发声,说此颂言:

众生无智慧  爱刺所伤毒 为彼求菩提  诸佛法如是

(解)──彼时,一切处所的文殊师利菩萨,各在自己的佛所,同时发出声音,说如下的偈颂,第一句意思是 
众生没有智慧,因无明而造业,爱能滋润业种,故生死轮回不绝,如泥中有刺,不觉受伤,又如疮巴有刺,为其毒害;从痴而有爱,菩萨生大悲心,若无大智慧,怎么能够拔除,所以为众生求菩提,所有的佛法都如是。
[explanation] -  At the time, the Manjusri Boddhisattvas in all places, each in their own Buddha's dwellings, at the same time emit sound to say the following verse. 
The 1st sentence - Mortals or sentient beings do not have wisdom, create karma or wrongdoings due to ignorance, Love can nourish the seeds of wrongdoings, thus infinite transmigration of birth and death, like thorns in mud, get hurt unknowingly, also like thorns in scarred wounds, poisoned by them; love derive from ignorance, Boddhisattva develops great compassionate heart, if without great wisdom, how can ever pull out, thus helps sentient beings request for Bodhi, all Buddha dharma are likewise or the same.

 普见于诸法  二边皆舍离 道成永不退  转此无等轮
(解)──普见通于性与相,能离二边,有问是何原因,答云,见相是有边,只见性便堕入无边,如果见性与见相无碍时便离二边。
更明白地说,如木桌子,它的构成原因可推寻如下:木板──树木──小树──树苗──树种,木桌子的体性推根究底是树的种子,当你见到木桌子时,可以想象其中的因缘关系,其相表现出来是木桌子,其性是树种,那么就性相无碍了。

[explanation] -  mostly sight link nature and form, can leave both sides or both of these (Nature & Form), have question about the cause, reply as sighting or seeing form is have side, only see nature then fall into no side, if see nature and form without being hindered then is leaving both sides.
To be clearer, like wooden table, its reason for formation can be seek as follows:
Wooden plank - wood tree - small tree - tree sapling - tree seed, the basic or root of wooden table is seed of the tree, when you see the wooden table, can you imagine the affinity or links within, the form displayed by the wooden table, its nature is tree seed, thus nature and form present no problem.

《中论》记载:虽空而不断,虽有而不常,即是空和有属于相即的关系,所以是离二边。
Documented in [Mid-path theory] : Although Void but infinite, though Exist but not permanent, that is Void & exist both categorise under the Form Trace,
thus is leave both sides. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[中道說虛, 以佛性說實, 虛是理, 實是心, 虛與實相即, 亦即理與心相即, 中道佛性的意義便在這一點相即中重新被創構出來。
Mid-path said Illusion and Buddha nature as Reality, illusion is theory, Reality is Heart, Form Trace of Illusion and Reality, that is form trace of theory and heart, mid-path buddha nature's is developed from this point of form trace.]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hahaha!

Why did I quote this extract from Avatamsaka sutra in the article [Punishing errant disciple]?

[二边皆舍离 道成永不退] 
Leaving Both Sides  Path is attained will never retreat or fall back.

GM Lu said when you achieved Guru Yoga you will never fall back or leave and most important is that your Bodhi path heart  道心 has surfaced, once surfaced, One's bodhi-path heart will never submerge again!
Many claimed that they lost Bodhi-path heart when they hear negatives about certain reverends or masters or even gurus.
Hahaha!
These people have yet to cultivate to let their Bodhi-path heart surface first, else they have no hearts to Loose!

In the Purple Lotus, XX residence, saga & the recent Disciplines Breachers saga; we see ignorants chasing Forms or just One side, negating the other!

Don't waste time further chasing the frivolous or following these Errant disciples!

虽空而不断,虽有而不常
Although Void but infinite, though Exist but not permanent

The Future Take-over person and the Future executive officer?
These two are nullified by Impermanence brought on by their own wrongdoings!
