Do you think you can look at it in 32 phases, Su Pu?
Xu Pu’s words are 32-phase views.
Yeah, yeah, I think it’s 32 eyes.
Buddha’s words say that if you look at the wheel with 32 eyes, the holy king will come.
If you can see it in thirty-two phases, then the wheel king is coming because the wheel king is thirty-two phases.
It is necessary to understand the Buddha’s words, and I should explain the Buddha’s words.
Now I understand that the true meaning of the Buddha’s statement really shouldn’t be viewed from the perspective of 32 phases.
When I was a Buddha, I said it.
If you see my voice and beg me, it’s a heresy and you can’t see it
The foreign minister came to see my voice and prayed for me instead of my heart responding to my dharma body. This is that people have gone astray and cannot see their true self.
If you don’t read it with sufficient meaning, you must read it without sufficient meaning. If you read it with sufficient meaning, you don’t read it with sufficient meaning.
The Buddha made an important conclusion about the Buddha’s foreign minister here, which is difficult to interpret. I’d better try to interpret it.
You don’t want to think like this because all the phases are perfect and sufficient. You don’t want to think like this. It’s really not because all the phases are perfect and sufficient, but you will have to sincerely ask Buddha, Taoism and all living beings to recognize all the ways to destroy the foreign affairs. Why don’t you think like this? Because you sincerely ask Buddha and all living beings don’t say to destroy the phases in the real law
Therefore, when we say that the Buddha’s 32 phases and 10 shapes are good, it is convenient to say that according to the phase, that is, having 32 phases and 10 kinds of good things in the external phase does not mean that it proves that the Buddha came. In the Diamond Sutra, the Buddha also said that all phases are illusory. If you see different phases, you will see that the 32 phases are right and wrong, and the name is 32 phases.
It may be difficult to explain this. Let’s take the simplest example, such as the Indian-Nepalese Buddha statues and the China Buddha statues, which are all 32 different, and the Japanese-Thai Buddha statues are also different. Which one is the real one? Let’s take another example, the Tantric one, the immobile king, is the Buddha who came to Japan to subdue all demons and show his appearance. He carries a flame and seven braids hanging down from his left teeth to show his anger and ferocity. So is he coming?
It can be seen that the future is not in the foreign minister but in the heart.
As we are familiar with Maitreya, isn’t it often shaped into a smiling belly? This is not the 32-phase, but the Maitreya Bodhisattva in the temple is also shaped into a 32-phase Maitreya image, but no one has ever felt it wrong to say that all phases are illusory. If you come to see the Buddha in your heart, you will come.
In the Diamond Sutra, the Buddha never went to his name.
The face of Maria Guanyin Buddha
Bodhisattva is also the most typical example of avalokitesvara. Many of his transformations do not follow the track, such as Guanyin in white, Yangliu Guanyin in Shuiyue Guanyin fish basket, Guanyin in eleven faces, Guanyin in a thousand hands, Guanyin in a round, Guanyin in a horse’s head, Guanyin in a quasi-Guanyin in four arms, and so on. This refers to the fact that Guanyin in the people’s belief should actually save people, and it is even more difficult to count Guanyin images.
In Japan, a Bodhisattva Guanyin called Maria Guanyin arrested many Catholics because Catholicism was forbidden in the Rijiang period. In order to avoid being arrested, the Catholic Virgin Mary was modeled as Guanyin Bodhisattva, which settled the hearts of Catholics at that time and many people felt that Guanyin was a Catholic and a Buddhist. In the Catholic heart, he was the Virgin Mary, and in the Buddhist heart, he was an out-and-out Guanyin Bodhisattva.
We can’t say that Maria is Guanyin Bodhisattva far-fetched, or that Maria may be the incarnation of Guanyin-but from Maria Guanyin, we should know that it is really not for us ordinary people to predict the possibility that the Bodhisattva should be transformed into the world.
The important thing is not that we should pray for bodhisattva’s color, see the sound and ask for it. The important thing is to return to our hearts and let us come to bodhisattva’s heart. One day, when our bodhisattva’s dharma bodies correspond, we can get close to the most touching passage in the Diamond Sutra.
Bodhisattvas, Mahasa, should live a pure heart, not a color heart, not a fragrance heart, but a heart.
Suzuki Teitaro Daisetz, the master of Japanese Zen, put a Buddha statue in his Buddhist temple, which is an Indian antique. Because the body of the Buddha statue has become black, it has long been blurred, and he can’t distinguish his eyes, ears, nose and mouth. Once Mr. Suzuki became suspicious and asked him, why don’t you give a new Buddha statue to his teacher? This Buddha statue has lost its face.
Suzuki Teitaro Daisetz didn’t answer him and asked him, "What do you think the Buddha should look like? You really know that the Buddha doesn’t have a certain face when you enter the threshold of the Buddha."
Suzuki Teitaro Daisetz can talk about the Buddha’s reality, and 32 phases and 10 shapes are good, which is just one angle for us ordinary people to look at the Buddha.
In this way, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Wu Changshuo’s saying that writing Buddha can’t be well-organized.

Look at flowers
People who can see flowers will see clouds, the moon and the stars and see wisdom in everything in the world.
Nan huaijin, a modern expert, once talked about the story of his boyhood bent on sword.
He heard that a Taoist priest in Chenghuang Mountain, West Lake, Hangzhou was a sword fairy, so he went all the way to ask for a sword. After many visits, he didn’t see the sage-like old man. At first, he didn’t admit that he was a sword fairy. Later, he couldn’t afford to plead. He said to Mr. Nan that he wanted a sword to go home and practice wrist stabbing for one hundred days, and then he lit a incense stick in a dark room and split the incense into two pieces with his wrist force, and then he didn’t extinguish it.
The old man said many sword methods. Mr. Nan was shocked and thought that chopping a generation might not be able to know the sword, let alone be a sword fairy, so as to give up to the old man. At this time, the old man asked him if he could see flowers.
