A. After we are ignorant, that’s, after we can not see issues as they’re, we’re deluded by illusions. The Buddha stated that sentient beings are drowning within the ocean of struggling as a result of we mistake illusions for actual issues. For instance, we’re proud of the phantasm of getting what we don’t actually have, really feel sad, or annoyed with the phantasm of dropping what we don’t really lose and change into excited with the phantasm of getting achieved what we’ve not achieved.
Bodhidharma stated that individuals, trying upon a stump of a tree as a ghost and seeing a rope as a snake at nighttime, really feel scared. In the identical approach, we really feel responsible of the phantasm of getting dedicated what we’ve not dedicated. That is known as being deluded by illusions. So, ‘there isn’t any sin after we are enlightened’ implies that after we are enlightened, we come to understand that sin can be empty.
Pupil: “If sin can be empty, ought to I not thoughts committing a sin?”
Grasp: “When sin is empty, the aim of committing a sin is empty as nicely.”
