What does Bodhi mean in Buddhism?

Bodhi (Fan Bodhi, Ba Bodhi, Tibetan byan%-chub)

Refers to enlightened wisdom. Sanskrit bodhi is a noun transformed from the verb budh, which means "knowledge" or "emotion" and translates wisdom, knowledge and feeling freely. The old translation turned into Tao again. On great wisdom (Dazheng 25.380b):' Tianzhu grammar, multi-word compound words, multi-word compound sentences, such as general words, for words, disagree, speechless.' Together, it is named Bodhi, and Qin Yan is extremely wise. The Infinite Life Sutra is the first volume, calling the supreme bodhi the supreme way; Chapter 18 of Mahayana Righteousness turns Bodhi into Tao according to Guo De Tong Yuan's meaning. However, the first volume (Ben) of the postscript of On Cheng Weizhi says (Dazheng 43.235c): "People who speak correctly are aware of different signs. Brahma bodhi, this translation is awareness, awareness of the law. At the end of the speech, you were just. As the old saying goes: Bodhi is not Tao. "

Bodhi is the fundamental concept of Buddhism. Buddhism mainly explains the content of Bodhi and the practical practice method of obtaining Bodhi. The object of Buddhist worship is the Buddha who achieves Bodhi consciousness. The bodhi awakened by the Buddha is all dharma emptiness, that is, the so-called truth that everything has no body. However, for those who realize that all laws are empty, everything transcends the reality of existence and emptiness, so it is the reality of all laws. According to the development stage of Buddhism, it is from negative perception to positive perception; Generally speaking, negative perception is Mahayana Buddhism, and positive perception is Mahayana Buddhism. In this regard, books such as Great Wisdom have revealed three kinds of bodhi and five kinds of bodhi.

Since saints can be divided into three categories, there are three kinds of bodhi. (1) The Arhat Bodhi is obtained from the Arhat Bodhi; (2) Lonely Bodhi; (3) Buddha's Bodhi. Among them, the first two bodhis are bodhis that can only be obtained by getting rid of troubles; Buddha and bodhi, on the other hand, are people who have got rid of their troubles and two obstacles they know, but they have never won. They are also known as the three bodhis, the three bodhis, the supreme bodhi, the supreme truth, the just enlightenment, the equal enlightenment, the supreme bodhi and the supreme Tao. In addition, it is said that Bodhi was acquired through three practices under the guidance of teachers. Self-awareness of bodhi is a kind of self-seeking, self-guidance and self-study; Buddha bodhi is willing to be selfish and altruistic, not to follow the teacher. It was obtained through the practice of the three great monks.

For these three bodhis, there have been various explanations in later generations. For example, Volume 55 of On the Great Bodhisattva says that observing wisdom is called Buddha Bodhi, observing wisdom is called solitary Bodhi, and observing wisdom is called listening to Bodhi. The seven principles in "On Manifesting the Holy Religion" are divided into five categories, such as species, and its Wen Yun (Dazheng 3 1.5 16b):

Bodhi is divided into five categories: (1) sex, (2) convenience, (3) time, (4) awareness and (5) liberation. People of the same nature have heard that bodhi depends on blunt roots, but only think that bodhi depends on middle roots, and there is no equal bodhi depending on roots. Convenient, it is said that Bodhi is clever and convenient in six places, single Bodhi is clever and convenient in many branches, and five bright places are clever and convenient. At that time, I heard that Bodhi was rarely cultivated by three students, but I felt that Bodhi was cultivated by a hundred thieves, and the supreme Bodhi was cultivated by three thieves, one monk and one enterprise. The witness heard that Bodhi was taught by the teacher, and felt that Bodhi only swore to be self-interested without the teacher's witness. Without the teacher's witness, he was supreme and equal to Bodhi's self-interest and altruism. The liberated people, who have heard of Bodhi, feel that the Bodhi syndrome turns to rely on it to relieve their troubles and their bodies. Supreme to bodhi syndrome change, in addition to all troubles and obstacles to knowledge, in addition to the body photography. "

In addition, Volume 53 of Great Wisdom says that there are five kinds of Buddha bodhi, namely:

(1) Originated from Bodhi: Originated from infinite life and death, named Bodhi because of Ayundara's three advantages and three disadvantages. This is the result of cause.

(2) Fu Xin Bodhi: Fold all troubles, subdue his heart, and do everything paramita.

(3) Mindfulness of Bodhi: Look at the laws of the three realms, raise the amount respectively, and the reality of the dharma realm will be pure after all. This is the so-called Prajna paramita polyphase.

(4) Go to Bodhi: It is more convenient to get Prajna paramita, but not Prajna paramita, and you can get rid of all troubles. When you see all the Ten Buddhas, you can't bear to live, so you can go out of the third world and go to Saruo.

(5) Supreme Bodhi: Sitting in the Dojo, breaking the habits of troubles and getting three Bodhi.

According to "The Theory of Fahua Jing", there are three kinds of Buddha bodhi: responding to Buddha, reporting Buddha and dharma Buddha. Gaya's enlightenment is called responding to Buddha's Bodhi, ten places of complete nirvana are called reporting Buddha's Bodhi, and Tathagata's pure nirvana is called Dharma Bodhi. Volume 18 of the Mahayana Righteousness Chapter holds that there are two kinds of supreme bodhi: convenient bodhi and pure bodhi. In addition, regarding the nature of the supreme bodhi, Volume III of the Bodhisattva Sutra of Tibetan Bodhisattva refers to two kinds of wisdom, namely, pure wisdom, one-stop wisdom, unhindered wisdom, 140 non-* * Buddha as the body, with seven supreme, which is the highest among all bodhis, hence the name of the supreme bodhi.

In addition, Mahayana practitioners who seek supreme bodhi are called bodhisattvas, or bodhisattvas for short. Seeking supreme bodhicitta is called supreme bodhicitta, supreme Tao, or bodhicitta for short. Thirty-seven kinds of products suitable for bodhi are called bodhi points. The place where Buddha becomes a Taoist is called Bodhi Dojo or Bodhi Dojo. Its Dojo tree is called Bodhi Tree. In addition, there are so-called bodhi and bodhi in Japan. The former refers to praying for ancestors to become Buddhas and practicing spiritual blessings, while the latter refers to praying for all beings to improve Buddhism and Taoism.

The second way, in the process of bodhisattva's initial initiation into Buddha, is divided into two stages. From the beginning of the mind, practicing emptiness without my wisdom, to entering the Tao and proving the holy position, this stage focuses on reaching emptiness, so it is called Prajna Tao. After realizing that Buddhism has no phase, he entered the monastery until he reached the Buddha's fruit. This stage is mainly for the convenience of Bodhisattva, so it is named Convenient Road. According to On Wisdom, starting from seven places is a common way-Yu Zong works in eight places, and more than eight places is a convenient way. Prajna is the Tao, and it is convenient to use Prajna skillfully.

Prajna is Bodhi, and Jobodi said: These two paths are five Bodhi. (1) Enlighten Bodhi: In life and death, ordinary people first seek Buddhism and enlightenment, and they are called Avandoro's three virtues and three bodhicitta, hence the name Enlighten Bodhi. (2) Blessed Bodhi: After initiation, practice according to the original wish. From the implementation of six degrees, gradually surrender troubles, and gradually correspond to emptiness, so it was named Fuxin Bodhi. (3) Mindfulness of Bodhi: After overcoming the rough troubles, you can practice meditation, get rid of all troubles, and completely prove Bodhi-reality, hence the name Mindfulness of Bodhi. These three bodhis, that is, the third stage from interest to bodhi Tao, are Prajna Tao. At this time, although the holy fruit has been achieved, it is still not completed, and it is necessary to continue to practice. Mindful of Bodhi, looking forward to Prajna, is enlightenment; Looking at the sidewalk behind, it is a heart. Pre-enlightenment bodhi is a secular bodhi mind; Realizing bodhi is the bodhi mind that wins righteousness. I realized that all dharma books are pure, and I am originally nirvana, really bodhicitta. (4) Bodhi, Bodhi mind, impatience. In the future, you will cultivate convenient roads, solemnly become a Buddhist country, and mature all beings; Gradually out of the three realms, reaching Buddha fruit, so it is called becoming a bodhi. (5) What is Bodhi? What is the habit of breaking troubles and what is self-interest and altruism, that is, the supreme bodhi that has been successfully proved. Each of the two roads has three levels, which synthesizes all the five bodhis and summarizes the causal order of Bodhi Road.
