  心如�明镜，
  目中�化影，
  �实回镜看，
  景��明心。
  
  我这��想说的是，
  
  我们的心就�一�镜�，在年幼的时候，我们的心是如一般的自在和�明，但我们�是�到自然的化影与其虚幻的世界。在�长的过程中我们就会越�越少在回去看我们这幅镜�，这镜�已�有了很浓的�尘，���看，已��能显出我们的�明之心。
  
  人生百�就是如此，大家都对�义�德�是一个陌生的东西，哪有多少人�明了这�义和�德的形�呢？�时常对自己的镜�下工夫擦明它，那我们就没有真真能看到自己的真�目。修得果报，就看我们能�把，我们的真性拥有�好的黑点给擦除掉，让我们用��的�眼看这世界。

  佛法对很多人�说是�大精深，也很难�解。有很多人在佛学的知识上都有一定的了解，�是他们对佛法的知识的�用就�是那么了知。佛陀的教育传的佛法也是很大众�，�个人的学习能力也有高和低的差别。
  
  佛法是�是指一些超能力现象的教学呢？我��学浅，也还�学习佛的教育和知识。我觉得佛法就是生命，就是生活，就是你内心的世界，也就说我们就是佛法，也�是真法的存在的行者。我们如能得到佛法的知识教育，�让这教育便�我们生命，生活和身心的一部分，然��行佛法的行�，我们也能往西方�了世界。
  
  ä½›ç»�很多，我觉得ç»�æ–‡è¦�告诉我们的深æ„�就是放下，看破，和对佛法的教育è¦�信念。我觉得佛法难之处ä¸�是在文字深æ„�çš„ä½›ç»�里，它难的地方是我们è¦�如何行出佛法的执æ„�。我觉得放下这两个字é�žå¸¸çš„难行，我们应该学ç�€æ”¾ä¸‹ï¼Œæ”¾ä¸‹è‡ªå·±çš„好胜心，执ç�€å¿ƒï¼Œè´ªå¿ƒï¼Œè®¡ç®—心，自尊心，æ¯�一天放下一滴滴，修行上多一梯。很多人都喜欢念佛å�·ï¼Œå¾…咒和诵ç»�，我觉得有空的è¯�ä¸�如，和自己的心说说è¯�，了解自己，è¦�从那里放下，天天告诉自己“放下”，å†�加上念佛å�·å’Œå¾…咒，诸佛è�©è�¨ä¸€å®šä¼šç‰¹åˆ«åŠ æŒ�我们。
  
  在学会放下的时候。大家就会明白看破，也就会明白佛法人生。知足长�，能放下就能知足，如果对自己的标准放开些，那也放下了多一些。人生有��想享�，享�就是对标准放的更高，对很多事物的看法就比很多人�的�一样，想�的东西也�一样。能知知足，快�永陪长，对自己的所�所为�多加注�，因为因果�留情，少业力，多功德，多善业，这人生就能多�少忧。大家一起努力�。。。

  Yes, and hence we must constantly watch our mind, maintain an ever present awareness that constantly lets go of our attachment to our sentient thoughts and years of conditioning... so that the mirror bright clarity reveals itself in its purity.

  Fortunately we do not need hundreds of years or thousands of years of purification to eliminate thousands of years of conditioning.. personal or collective.

  Our Buddha-nature is already ever-present. We just need to practice sustaining awareness that knows every single arising thought and everything we see and hear and yet unattached to any thoughts or sights or smell... arise and pass by itself and leaves no trace. Like a mirror that reflects everything but is unconditioned by any reflections... the reflections appear and disappear spontaneously and leaves no trace.

  The reflections, the thoughts, sights and smells are not the problem... they are not real, and they are not a problem... the only "problem" is that we think they are really existing and so we become very attached and affected by it. But if we maintain the mirror-like awareness we see that everything is merely a manifestation of our primordial state, empty and luminous. It is empty of "objectivity" or "inherent existence" which we mistaken them to be (truly existing) due to our dualistic way of perceiving "things" -- in terms of a separate "Self" and the "existing world". They are actually just mirror reflections, merely appearances that is the play of emptiness-clarity. Like the moon in the water, flower in the mirror. The mirror by itself is empty but capable of reflecting everything. So we let go of all our thought conditioning and just meet everything attaching or forming unnecessary thinking, but seeing everything as it is with awareness, AS awareness.

  The "letting go" part is very important... it is to drop everything... our conditionings, our thoughts, even our mind and body... completely drop off. Drop off the "self" and what remains is pure awareness as it is. Then whatever arise without the "self" is the function of pure awareness, the function of prajna.
