The Plans Are Not the Bridge

A teaching on true empty wisdom — and why mistaking the map for the territory is, in itself, a kind of hell karma.

Bodhisattva see pure gold everywhere, regardless of devil, animal, human or Bodhisattva.

See that then you will always remain peaceful, joy meditation ability. Have that when you go to beg for the food then you will bring the spiritual life and bring the spiritual karma to everyone.

Bodhisattva will become friends with devils and demons because they realise they can all become Buddha.

Bodhisattva have the true empty wisdom ability, aware that the essence is always pure in every life, so they can help them and not get lost or influenced by them.

You think you know how to explain empty, that you are empty, no. That's like someone pointing at the moon, but you look at the finger and think it's the moon, not the moon.

It's like someone gives you the plans to build a bridge and you think the plans are the bridge. To do that is actually no respect for Dharma, no respect for Buddhism. It's in the direction of hell karma.

You learn all the philosophy in the same way.
