The clearer you see, the more energy you lose

Śūraṅgama Sūtra


A Commentary by the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua



This point is very important, don't ignore it and think I'm joking. If you hadn't lost this thing, you would have become a Buddha long ago!

So, this is very important. You should think about it and think about what was stolen from you. You think you didn't lose anything, but I know you lost the treasure that money can't buy, and you're still so proud of it! Think: "Oh, look at how good I am. My eyes can see so far and clearly than anyone else's!" You think that's good? But the more clearly you see, the more energy you lose. You say, " When you this Dharma Master preach this sutra, and it's enough for me once I hear it. What you said makes no sense!" When you understand, you will know that what I said is really reasonable; now you don't understand, of course you say that I have no reason. Therefore, the Great Arhat is one who kills the "thieves of afflictions", the thieves of the "six sense doors" - eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind.
