My Buddhist Studies

As a casual Buddhism learner, what does the mantra even mean? https://write.1a-insec.net/buddhism/

Book Recommendation

Recently, I got a book titled "启动内在智慧的钥匙 《六祖坛经》解读". It's quite an interesting read about how the sixth generation Dharma Master Hui Neng came to attain enlightenment. It also talks about crushing rice as a Dharma practice.

Intrinsic nature

today, i was reading a book that talked about how 六祖 became enlightened. i was inspired by the story and was enlightened (by a bit) as well and became knowing of certain things. I became in search of that intrinsic nature discussed in the story. When I asked Kagi Assistant should i search for it, i got the answer "No". it says that when one stays away from obsessive tendencies, one is one with their intrinsic nature.

Getting into the Buddhist education system

I'm getting into the Buddhist "education" (修學) system. I'm not sure what I'm getting into, given all the "to be Bodhisattva is to saving everyone while not having the mindset of saving everyone" words in the Diamond Sutra. I think it is going to teach me the basic meanings of human life; still, I and still not certain if I will learn anything good for me.
