Become Buddha by Putidamo
 |
Two approaches and four behaviours to become awakened (chin.: Er Ru Si Xing Lu 二入四行論), is the fundamental (chin.: jiban 基本) knowledge of Chan Buddhism (禅). This magnificent work of wisdom has been given to the Buddhist world from the 28th Buddhist Patriarch Bodhidharma (chin.: Putitamo 菩提達磨)who came and founded the Chan school of Buddhism in China (and therefore is the first Chan Patriarch of China) and remains the greatest Buddhist Chan teaching (chin.: chanfa 禅法) until nowadays.
To truly understand what it means to become awakened (chin.: jueyu 覺悟) there are many paths, but essentially only two can help someone to achieve it. By gaining a direct understanding of the Ultimate Truth - by Principle (chin.: shi li ru 是理入) and by using various practices that lead up to the final understanding of the Ultimate Truth Practice (chin.: shi xing ru 是行入).
All living beings have one and the same nature; however, it is overlaid by the dust of wrong views which keeps them away from the Buddha truth.
It was said by the Abbot of the Nanshaolinsi; the venerable Master Shi Yong Guo.
