The old home is the original home. Pure Nirvana is the Eternal Homeland.


Student asked 1/3:
 
Even though I know that human life is impermanent, and the Three Realms is a burning house, Why do I still hold on to material things and still hesitate to create merit?
 
Teacher replied:
 
This habit is rooted in human nature from time immemorial. This Earth is an "attracting sticky" earth. It’s very hard to get rid of it. At the end of your life, practicing Letting Go is enough.

I don’t know why though I want to go back to the original homeland, or I want to be liberated, all of my savings are spent for my children. I am not sure if they are blessed to enjoy it because they do not know anything about morality and do not believe in causes and effects.
 
Teacher replied:
 
This is the karma between you and your family. Just be happy and carefree when performing your karma. Buddha taught:
 
Lamenting material world of causes and consequences
Stepping into causes and effects no one can escape.
The material world on Earth
Creating causes goes with paying for effects
 
Zen Buddhism shows the right way
To release - To stop - To cease - To let go to end reincarnation.
The material world is full of competition
Ones must pay for returning to the Buddha world.
 
If they don't pay, they have to reincarnate
After Zen Buddhism is released, they can go back to their original home.
The old home is the original home.
Pure Nirvana is the Eternal Homeland.

If one can't decipher all the hidden meanings and unhidden meanings of the Buddha,  should they be recognized to know the Way to the Buddha World?
 
Teacher replied:
 
If you do not fully explain the meaning of the Buddha's words, you should not ask for a “Recognition to know the Way to Buddha World”. Why? Just like if you know how to drive, buy a car, if you don't know how to drive, don't buy a car. How dangerous it is!
