On The Original Enlightenment In The Awakening Of Mahayana Faith

In The Awakening of Mahayana Faith, the original enlightenment is the pure mind essence that without deluded thoughts of all sentient beings, it is also the noumenon of all dharma, in addition, it has the wisdom that can consummate the Suchness and the function that can exterminate the Ignorance. Sentient beings transmigrate through life and death for non-enlightenment, and return to extinction for initial enlightenment, but both of the non-enlightenment and the initial enlightenment are rely on the original enlightenment, so original enlightenment is the root cause of transmigration and extinction. Sentient beings transmigrate through life and death relies on the perfumation from impurity to purity, and return to extinction relies on the perfumation from purity to impurity. The impurity that have no self-nature can be gradually exterminated by the purity that cannot change, for this reason, through the wisdom and the perfumation of the original enlightenment, sentient beings can exterminate the impurity and show the whole original enlightenment, so they can transcend the transmigration and realize the dream of return to extinction.If sentient beings know the principle of the Suchness (original enlightenment), in addition, they have faith in the Suchness within themselves and realize the original mind, then they can separate the deluded thoughts and consummate the Supreme Bodhi. In this progress, sentient beings have to cultivate themselves to remove afflictions, so The Awakening ofMahayana Faith provided different ways to sentient beings with different qualities, moreover, the ways penetrate all the steps of study Buddhism, the steps consist of believe, understand, practice and consummate, and the four steps are all focus on the Suchness and original enlightenment.
