Practice restrains nature, enlightenment utilizes nature for practice


Those who are awakened are governed by the mind, while those who practice are disciplined by the mind
Those without evidence will not suffer evil consequences, but they will stay because of staying, bear fruit because of bearing fruit, think because of thinking, and dwell in the mind. Thus, the cycle of birth and death cannot reach Nirvana. The Buddha's awakening is not the same as human awakening.
People can be bad, and awareness has no birth or death. As soon as there is awareness, it is revealed; as soon as there is obstruction, it is covered in dust. Without obstruction, it is not revealed. When obstructions are eradicated, it is nirvana. The Buddha of complete awareness and conduct is the Buddha of the teachings on people. Complete is both cessation and non-ceasing. If the Buddha had limitation, it would not be Amitabha Buddha. The Buddha's teachings are immeasurable, and awareness and conduct are immeasurable. There is no complete or incomplete, no full or not full. 'One' is the ultimate completeness.
In Buddhism, the classification is based on the sequence. Speaking from a profound perspective, it is the Dao Fa of virtue and way becoming a celestial being. The Dao Fa of Tathagata is inconceivable, not just a cultural aspect. Speaking from a superficial perspective, it is the teaching that guides people towards goodness. Good and evil originally exist in the context of self, others, and all sentient beings, which is a cultural aspect. Speaking from the perspective of sentient beings, it is the skillful means of using greed to control greed and using illusions to control illusions. Although it does not eliminate decadence and degradation, it lacks the compassion to comfort the soul.
