Afterword: What Is a Genuine Disciple Like? 283
“The World Is a Reflection of the
Mind” is an insight of
wisdom. In traditional cultivation,
only those whose cultivation
and realization reach the highest
level are able to have this kind of
wisdom and level of perception. Only
those who truly understand
this principle will easily merge
with “the yoga apart from
sophistry,” and truly manifest what
we often call “illuminating
mind and seeing its true nature.”
For those people who are constantly
troubled by pain and
suffering, this book has a wondrous
function that other books
cannot replace. When our whole
community has fallen into
affliction and anxiety, it is
without doubt a dose of the good
medicine of wisdom.
In the Buddhist sutras there is a
verse that goes like this:
“If people want to completely
understand all the buddhas of the
past, present, and future, they must
observe the true nature of the
phenomenal realm, that everything is
only a creation of the mind.”
This is the primal source of the
wisdom of the present book. But
talk is talk, and action is action:
sometimes understanding at the
level of “truth” cannot represent a firm grasp at the level of “things and events.” So the existence of the
present book has its value.
This book is a vivid exposition of
worldly phenomena for the
world-transcending wisdom of
Buddhism. Since it is the vision
and viewpoint of wisdom, it also has
many ways of making close
connections with real life. Since it
can alter our “minds,” it can
also change our “actions,” and then
it can change our “lives.”
Many people, because of the
ignorance of the “mind,” are ignorant
in “action” and they end up having
many difficulties in “life”
and die an untimely death. It is
just as it says in my novel Desert
Hunters: “When the mind is illuminated, the
road opens up.” It is precisely because their minds rise
to a higher level and wisdom
appears, many people who were
originally mired in difficulties at
last realize transcendence, and
become people of accomplishment
in our eyes. We can pick out this
kind of inspiration among many
illustrious names, such as Steve
Jobs, who benefited from Zen.
And Zen, in the system of the Great
Mudra, is the Great Mudra
of the Mark of Reality. From the Zen
viewpoint, even the shadow
of death cannot cover the creative
wisdom of Steve Jobs, and we
now still get to enjoy the series of
Apple products he left behind.
Thus I have often said: “Life is
created by the mind. Your
life is a reflection of your mind.
The world that appears in your
eyes is also a reflection of your
mind. Whatever kind of mindyou have, you will have that kind of life. Whatever
kind of mind
you have, you will also have that
kind of world. Only when your
mind goes from small to large, will
your world go from small to
large. Without a change of mind, it
is definitely impossible to have
a change in your life. Therefore,
you can also call this book ‘a
prescription for building a life.’”
Around me there are many people who
have changed their
lives and fates by relying on the
wisdom of this book. Among
them are people suffering from fatal
illnesses, those with serious
depression, those who did not want
to go on living after the deaths
of people they were close to, those
who had lost hope and were
sick of the world. Many of them,
after coming into contact with
my writings, through a change of
their minds, had their lives
elevated to a higher level. Thus, some
friends hoped that I would
be able to take this kind of wisdom
and communicate it in popular
form, without religious trappings,
and in this way produce a book
that enables people who do not
necessarily have religious beliefs
to detach from suffering and attain
happiness.
The wisdom in this book has its
source in traditional Great
Mudra Buddhism, and the author is a
follower of the ShangpaKagyu Great Mudra. In my book The Great Mudra of Light: The
Heart
of Real Practice (published by Central Compilation &
Translation Press), I concentrated
on introducing the Shangpa
Kagyu School’s Five Diamond
Teachings of Niguma. In its
procedure for completing (the mind
of enlightenment) there is “the
method of the three branches.” What
it conveys is the wisdom of
the present book:
“The excellent understanding of the
Path of the Master
Teacher is understanding that all
appearances are the Master
Teacher, understanding that the
nature of the inherent mind is the
empty inherent nature, and thus
achieving a definitive perception.
“The excellent understanding of the
Fundamental Buddha is
that all appearances are Buddha
Father and Buddha Motherthey
appear but have no inherent nature.
(It is) understanding
that all that appears and all that
is heard is the inherent mind, and
the nature of the inherent mind is
the empty inherent nature, and
achieving a definitive perception.
“The path of (knowing that all
things) are like an illusion is
definitively knowing that all
appearances and thoughts are the
inherent mind, and definitively knowing
that the inherent mind is
illusory transformation. If we
investigate the inherent nature of
the six sense faculties and the
corresponding six sense objects,
then we see that their inherent
nature is empty, yet can manifest
appearances; apparent manifestations
are not different from
emptiness; apparent manifestations
have no inherent nature, and
are like illusory transformations.
If we eliminate clinging and
attachment to discriminating
thought, then amidst manifestations
and emptiness without clinging, we
enter into profound meditative
concentration.”
