596. Wisdom
Wisdom is also a set of rules—defined by leaders, and can be added to, reduced to, constrained by, or stripped of. Using higher-dimensional cognitive thinking to solve all lower-dimensional problems is wisdom. Innate wisdom can be cultivated, and the Way of Heaven allows wisdom to increase—why is it called unattainable?
597. The Role of Wisdom
1. Pointing out the correct direction. 2. Improving efficiency—measuring merit is the positive change in sentient beings; don't foolishly release animals or recite scriptures. 3. Avoiding pitfalls. 4. Resolving issues of mind and character.
598. Ways of expressing wisdom
Wisdom of rules, wisdom of mind, wisdom of integration.
599. The Wisdom of Rules
The fates of those who can see through the essence of matter in a second and those who cannot understand it in a lifetime are different. In a material society, everything is called a rule—learning well, understanding effectively, and being good at business are applications of rules. The Buddhist teachings on reincarnation, the laws of nature, and the five poisons and four minds are also rules—humans cannot see them in their lifetime; they can only be passed down from top to bottom. Buddhism and Taoism are both transmitted through rules. Later generations (such as the Sixth Patriarch Hongyi) explained the rules—to make them easier to understand. Comprehending the rules—ultimately solidifying them within you, making them your own rules.
600. Three Layers of Life and Death Conception
1. Normal life and death (low-dimensional life and death). 2. Imbuing life and death with other meanings—some people die but live on in their hearts, some people live but are dead. 3. Viewing life and death from a higher dimension—when one recovers memories from countless lifetimes and has the ability to know past lives, it is extremely easy to break through death—one has almost never died, each time only a change of body. One attains the state of immortality. It is extremely easy to understand non-birth when one transcends reincarnation. Different perceptions and understandings of the same thing lead to different views—the three realms of life and death.
601. Mind and Wisdom
1. Managing relationships with all sentient beings—the Way of Heaven is flawed. The second generation of sentient beings also has flaws—it's necessary to connect with all sentient beings with whom one has a sense of friendship, learning from each other's strengths and compensating for each other's weaknesses. 2. The ability to maintain an advantage in the long term—the greater the ability, the greater the harm caused. Poverty is sometimes a form of protection. Cultivating one's mind—cultivating right knowledge, right thought, and right action to form instinctive memories. Cultivating one's mind is very important in the cycle of reincarnation—regulating emotions and becoming immune to negative influences. Seeing oneself as water—the mind becomes water, merging with heaven and earth and all things. Because of being powerless, one is omnipotent.
602. Integration of Wisdom
Conflicts in rules between different planes—using inflation to achieve harmony. Many great Bodhisattvas failed to achieve this.
Wisdom Level: Super High Dimension (Top-Tier Wisdom Outside of Reincarnation) – Awaiting transmission from higher planes. Second-highest level is achieved through enlightenment – enlightenment through creation, enlightenment through understanding, and enlightenment through comprehension.
603. Creation and Enlightenment
No human had understood this rule before—you bring it into the human world through your own insight. Newton, Einstein, Tesla and Jobs are examples. The principle of everyday life as a place of practice counts; Edison does not. The Chinese character "wu" (awakening) has the upright heart radical on the left and "wu" (self) on the right—connecting all your selves. If your selves in reincarnations on other planes lack this knowledge, do not expect to attain such insight. No one had previously expressed my "Ziwei Star Language" this way—but that appearance is misleading: in the higher planes, I am very proficient in Ziwei Doushu astrology and discovered what was wrong. Resonance with the heavenly soul—transmitted from above. Do not worship anyone.
604. Understanding and Comprehension
You understand what others have said—the greatest truths are the simplest, you've understood.
605. Understanding
When something happens in life, begin to apply rules and principles to protect, improve, and overcome—integrate the rules into yourself and make them your instinctive way of dealing with things. Some women begin to understand their husbands and solve problems using the principle of "reversal is the way of the Tao"—they have grasped the rules.
