【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Interest in emptiness

2) "Interest in emptiness" means to comprehend the reality in which there is no self and which is luminously clear, and to have conviction that the mind is primordially pure.

What is this? It means to have a great awakening. Yes! That's it. What is the state of mind for this? Not only are the current behaviours eradicated, but that after the eradication of the behaviours, what is the mind like then? You will have the three wisdoms from study, reflection and meditation. You will certainly accord with the teaching. But what is the level that concord with emptiness? It is one that concords with the wisdom of meditation. That would be the highest level. When we read [the sutras] earlier, of course you might have been already concordant with the wisdom of meditation. For instance, there was a student of the sixth patriarch who read the 3 thousand modules of Lotus Sutra, he is Dá Fǎ. I can't remember if it was Dá Fǎ or Fǎ Dá. He read three thousand modules of it. But he had this great arrogance. When he went to bow down to the sixth patriarch, he didn't touch the ground with his head. The sixth patriarch said, "This great arrogance you have. You don't even touch the ground with your head, what is on your mind?" After he was reproached by the teacher, he felt, "Um, the Teacher has some accomplishment. All my life, I have read three thousand modules of...." "Were you really reciting the sutras?! You are not spinning the sutras, but instead, you've been spun by the sutras!" (Translator: please note that this is a very literal translation.) After the teacher told him a few things, the student had an awakening. Ah! He had a great awakening! After this great awakening, he said, "I will not read the sutras anymore." What did the sixth patriarch say after that? "You were spun by the sutras before, but now you will actually spin the sutra. You will be really reading the sutras now!" So he did not say that you should not do this anymore after you become awakened! That's what it is.

业果 : 胜解空性

胜解空性者,谓趣入无我光明法性,深极忍可本来清净。

这是什么?大彻大悟了,对呀!就这样。而那个时候心里什么状态?不但现行破—现行破了以后,那个时候的心理什么?是跟闻、思、修三种状态相应的智慧,一定跟法相应。跟空性相应是什么程度呢?跟修慧相应的,那最高的。前面我们去念的时候,当然你可能已经跟修慧相应,譬如说六祖大师的有一个学生,这个念《法华经》三千部的这个达法,他以前,法达还是达法我忘记掉了。然后他念了三千部,自己还觉得大我慢,跑得去拜六祖大师头不着地,六祖大师说:“这个大我慢,你磕头头不着地,你心里有什么?”自己被这个祖师一说,他心里面觉得:嗯,祖师倒有一点名堂,我一生念了三千部……。“那你何尝念经啊!你不是在转经,你被经转哪!”然后给他讲了几句话,开悟了,啊,大彻大悟!然后呢大彻大悟了以后,他说:“那我以后不要念经了。”六祖大师怎么说?“以前你根本是被经转哪,现在你真正转经啊,现在你真正念经啊!”说不是说大彻大悟以后不要啊!
