MỤC XOA NI
目叉尼
Tối thắng giải thoát Đạt Ma bảo
Diệu Cổ Huy Kim thậm hy thiểu
Siêu việt nhất thiết chư khổ nạn
Tốc chứng bồ đề ly điên đảo.
最勝解脫達摩寶
耀古輝今甚稀少
超越一切諸苦難
速證菩提離顛倒
MU CHA NI
MỤC XOA NI
Most supreme
liberation is the Dharma Jewel,
Shining
through the past, glorifying the present and extremely rare.
With it one
transcends all suffering and difficulty,
Quickly
certifies to Bodhi, and quits being upside-down!
COMMENTARY:
MỤC XOA NI means "most supreme liberation." Liberation means no hang-ups, no obstructions,
and no attachments to self or dharmas. Self and dharmas are both gone. Most supreme liberation is the Dharma Jewel,
/ shining through the past, glorifying the present, and extremely rare. This kind of Dharma shines through the past
into the future for ten thousand generations, but it is hard to encounter and
very hard to understand. It is very rare. Few understand this Dharma, very,
very few. With it one transcends
all suffering and difficulty. This is the
line in the Heart Sutra that says, "When practicing the profound Prajna
Paramita, he crosses over all suffering and difficulty." You go beyond all
pain and difficulty.
One quickly certifies to Bodhi and quits being
upside-down! This
sentence corresponds to the line of the Heart Sutra that says, "leaves all
upside-down dream-thinking far behind and ultimately attains Nirvana." One
very quickly gains the enlightened Way, that is, Bodhi, and leaves all
inversion to certify to one's inherent Prajna wisdom. This is the self-nature's
wisdom, which is endless for the taking and inexhaustible in its function. If
one hadn't planted good causes and conditions in the distant past, and if one didn't
have good roots, one would never meet with this Dharma.
