COMPLETE ENLIGHTENMENT SÙTRA

CHAPTER 01: MANJUSRI BODHISATTVA

(PART – 04)

SÙTRA:

Good son, such Ignorance Does Not Truly Exist, exactly like characters in Dreams, in Dreams things are seen to Exist, but when Awake know that they are Nothingness — Here Nothingness is like when Blur Spots disappear in the Space, we can’t say that Space has the Position of Disappearance, because Space has No Position of Birth. In such No-Birth No Disappearance, all kinds of beings mistakenly see that there are Appearance-Disappearance, so it is called the wheel of births-and-deaths; and all Tathàgatas’ preliminary basic actions are to observe Complete Enlightenment: Knowing that it is Blur Spots in the Space is to know that The wheel of Births-and-Deaths are Nothingness — , the Body and the Mind that suffer that  wheel of births-and-deaths are also Nothingness — Nothingness, it does not mean that things must be made to disappear to become Nothingness, but in reality  Nature is Nothingness. When knowing that things are Blur spots in the space, that Knowledge is also Nothingness; knowing that that knowledge is also Nothingness is also a shade of Blur Spots in the space; and yet it can’t be said that we Do Not Know Anything: when both existence and non-existence are denied, it can be said that it is Suitable for Pure Wisdom. Pure Wisdom is because the nature is like Space, Permanently Immovable, which means Tathàgata-garbha Is Without Birth and  Disappearance, Without the Seeing and Knowing that reflect Birth and Disappearance, but is The Universe Nature which is Absolute, Complete and  Ubiquitous.

That is Tathàgata’s Preliminary Basic Actions. Bodhisatvas base on that fundamental to arise Pure Bodhicitta in Mahàyàna. And people in the final period base on that foundation to conduct, will Not Fall into Wrong Knowledge.

 

EXPLANATION:

Due to deflecting from Complete Enlightenment Nature, so called Ignorance. Because in Original Enlightenment Nature is without Ignorance. Only due to falsely accepting the Faculties of Senses, the Objects of the Senses, Consciousness, Skandhas as the Citta, Citta discriminates, holds to Own Ego, has erroneous Perception, so there is appearance & disappearance, the wheel of births-and-deaths illusorily called Ignorance. Ignorance is like Dream scenes, when still dreaming there are dreaming scenes, when wakening there is no dream. So Ignorance is non-entity, only unreal, false, illusory, false name.

Unreal in Complete Enlightenment Nature, not that Ignorance phenomenon does not exist.

As Dharmas existence and inexistence are due to the illusory combination of causes and conditions to be illusory existence _ illusory-inexistence. When illusory-existence they are only like Blur Spots in Space. When illusory-nothing, not the “empty” of existence and inexistence, but “Nothing” here means Pure Self-Nature, seeing and knowing as truth all three times Past, Present and Future, but not deep lost in thought, hold to, or stop at or dwell on any Dharma.

Because their True Nature is always Transparent, like The Vacuum Inside Atoms so all are Complete Enlightenment.

CHAPTER 01:    MANJUSRI BODHISATVA

SÙTRA:

Good Son, what is Ignorance? It is the Aberration which has existed since without beginning of all kinds of beings. Aberration seems like a Person with Misconception; it will cause the positions of Four Directions to be changed. Therefore, there is misconception that the Combination of  Four Elements is Self-Body, misconception that the Perception of the Six Objects of senses is Self-Mind, the same as diseased eyes seeing the space full of Blur Spots, or seeing the Moon have the second Moon on it. But the space actually has no Blur Spots, it appears due to the misconception of diseased people: due to this misconception, there is not only the Misconception of the Truth of space, but also the Misconception of the Exact Origin of Blur Spots in the space. And thus, there is the wheel of Births-and-Deaths, existing without reality, so it is named Ignorance.

 

EXPLANATION:

What is Ignorance? That is The Aberration, is deflection from the truth, is Craziness. It means that Ignorance means not to truly see current, existent, limited, bordered matters. The World is illusory, is not real, is only the illusory combination of causes and conditions that satvas predestine to be true.

That is the Aberration from Without beginning, because of misperception leads to the unlimited rolling of conditionality of all physical and psychical phenomena until now, so misconceive that untruth is truth, truth is untruth, crazy erroneous thinking, overturning the directions East, West, South, North altering the positions of all, so obscure Complete Enlightenment Nature.

Misunderstanding the Combination of Four Elements (Earth-Water-Wind-Fire) as self-body, but without one of them cannot be called the body.

Knowing the Four Elements are also from “Nothingness” but illusorily exists, illusion is real, so the Four Elements are also not real. Then accepting the Four Elements, The Six Faculties of Senses, The Six Objects of Senses, The Six Consciousnesses are real. When The Six Faculties of Senses combine with The Six Objects of Senses creating Six Consciousnesses, accept or not accept them as the Citta, and then discriminate _ hold to existence _ hold to inexistence _ hold to ego _ hold to dharmas, conditionally interact  with scenes and the objects of senses, mistake the Shadow for the Image, like Blur Spots in space, like the Moon under Water …all are the  craziness in the sea of Complete Enlightenment Citta, the same as the diseased eyes seeing the Space having  Blur Spots, or seeing the Moon having the second Moon lying on it. Because of self-misperception of dharmas from causes and conditions, asserting truth and untruth, asserting existence and non-existence, therefore there is the Wheel of Births-and-Deaths which unreally exist, so named Ignorance.

CHAPTER 01 – PART 02

CHAPTER 01: MANJUSRI BODHISATTVA

 

SÙTRA:

Buddha taught:

Good Son, Supreme Dharmaràja has Maha-Dhàrani Dharma named Complete Enlightenment, pouring out all pure Dharmas such as Eternal True Entity, Bodhi, Nirvàna and Pàramita, to teach all Bodhisattvas. Tathàgata’s preliminary basic actions are Based on Complete Enlightenment — based on that Wisdom that is Pure and that perfectly Shines to destroy Ignorance permanently, to Achieve Buddha Wisdom.

 

EXPLANATION:

Buddha teaches:

Tathàgata has Maha-Dhàrani Dharma named Complete Enlightenment; pour out all pure Dharmas such as Eternal True Entity, Bodhi, Nirvàna and Pàramita, it means that from Pure True Nature Complete Enlightenment gathers all Dharmas, existence is without real existence, inexistence is without real inexistence. Because Complete Enlightenment is itself. So based on Complete Enlightenment to destroy  Ignorance permanently, will achieve Buddha Wisdom.  Because Ignorance does not really exist in Complete Enlightenment Nature, they are only illusory-scenes of Complete Enlightenment Self-Citta.

Just because of the misconception about the organs of six senses combined with the environment of the six gunas becoming six consciousnesses, using them as  Citta. Citta of  discrimination, is temporarily called Ignorance, so to have Buddha Wisdom, only need to transform perception and practice according to Complete Enlightenment Nature, there will be nothing that can be called Ignorance or No-Ignorance, there will be nothing that can be called Complete Enlightenment.

Because it is authentically itself, The Real Complete Enlightenment Nature is unconditional Loving-kindness, unconditional Compassion, unconditional Joy, and unconditional Equanimity with innumerable Citta of four kinds of sentient beings.

EXPLANATION OF COMPLETE ENLIGHTENMENT SÙTRA – CHAPTER 01 – PART 01

CHAPTER 01: MANJUSRI BODHISATVA

SÙTRA:

At that time, Manjusri Bodhisatva was among The mass, from his seat stood up, then worshiped with his forehead as high as Buddha’s feet, according to right tendency of Buddha, walked around Buddha three times, kneeled straight, joined his hands and said:

Buddha with great compassion, for the Bodhisatvas joining this Dharma Congress, could You talk about Buddha’s preliminary basic actions? About how Bodhisatvas in Mahàyàna should arise Bodhicitta so that it can be Pure, Free from sickness? And in the final period, what should people who seek Mahàyàna Dharma do to avoid wrong knowledge?

After saying, Manjusri Bodhisatva put his five body parts on the ground to worship Buddha. Bodhisatva made that request three times in that posture respectfully, after each time of request he started over again.

Then, Buddha taught Manjusri Bodhisatva:

Very well, Good Son, for other Bodhisatvas, you ask about Tathàgata’s preliminary basic actions, and for people who seek Mahàyàna Dharma in the final period, you ask how to reach Correct Dwelling, not to Fall into the Wrong Knowledge. You should listen carefully, Tathagàta will expound.

Manjusri Bodhisatva felt glad and together with The mass listened quitely.

EXPLANATION:

The first part of Complete Enlightenment Sùtra is Manjusri Bodhisatva who represents others to say to Lokajyestha. Manjusri Bodhisatva represents wisdom as well as all the Bodhisatvas joining this Dharma Congress.

Showing the wishing citta and respect, Manjusri Bodhisatva worshiped with his forehead as high as Buddha’s feet, according to right tendency of Buddha, walked around Buddha three times, which is also a manifestation of Manjusri Bodhisatva’s right-meditation together with three times: Past, Present, Future, but still in the Supreme Enlightenment_Great Samadhi Citta. Because of wanting all Bodhisatvas and satvas to enter Lokajyestha’s Right-Meditation Treasure, he said:

• How are Lokajyestha’s preliminary basic actions?

It means in order to achieve the integration like Lokajyestha, what are the basic things that need to be done and how they are to be done?

_ About how Bodhisatvas in Mahàyàna should arise Bodhicitta so that it can be Pure, Free from sickness? And in the final period, what should people who seek Mahàyàna Dharma do to avoid wrong knowledge?

 All are based on Complete Enlightenment. Because it is transparent, pure, constant in the three times without deterioration.

Complete Enlightenment Nature is no immersion, without differences, leaving phenomenal defilement; gathering all things and species, but without impurity, also without increase or decrease.

All are only the dreaming scenes of Complete Enlightenment Nature _ Eternal True Entity. Dharmas according to conditions are distinguished into Existence and Inexistence, because the true form of all Dharmas is Without Form, all are born by illusorily combined conditions so they do not really exist. But conditions are also no self-nature, so they are no-birth. Conditions are the place for all Dharmas to appear – disappear, existence_inexistence is also no-birth, how can it be said that all Dharmas are true? So internal and external Dharmas are just illusory, as illusion  no longer exists, there is only Enlightenment- Wisdom with the seeing and knowing as the truth in three times Past, Present, Future, no longer limited by the organs of senses, the environment of the gunas, consciousness, Skandhas, …

Constantly holding that insight, people who desire Mahayana Dharma in the final period will not fall into Wrong Knowledge.
