His Heart Has No Place to Live

"The Heart Has No Dwelling" When you are nothing, you are you and I am me. When you are something, I become something. When you are nothing, you are me and I am you. "The Heart Has No Dwelling" is the sequel to "Subduing the Mind" and "Making Good Use of the Mind". It is also a summary of my insights on establishing Donghua Temple ten years after I left seclusion and more than twenty years of practicing Buddhism. The purpose of publishing this book is to explain my own views on studying Buddhism and to gain criticism from Buddhist practitioners. The Buddha's Dharma is so vast that even though I have been practicing it for more than twenty years, I still can't find a drop of Dharma milk. But in the end, I got some insights. As the titles of the three books indicate, subduing one's mind means making good use of one's mind. After using it, one will not be attached to it, will not be nostalgic, and will leave no traces. Therefore, it is called "The mind is not dwelling". To maximize the use of body, speech and mind, one must first subdue the body, speech and mind, then make good use of body, speech and mind, and finally achieve the goal of leaving no trace behind. His heart is big but has no outside, small but has no inside. When it is big, the bag is too empty, and when it is small, it does not allow for needles. Success comes from the heart, and failure comes from the heart. His mind passively becomes a slave, and his mind actively becomes a master. If his heart is not surrendered, he is a coward. If you don't use it well, you will be a fool. If you are persistent and linger on things, you are an ordinary person. If one's mind is subdued, used well and free of agitation, then he will become a sage.
