In the theoretical system of Chinese philosophy,the problem of mind nature has always been regarded as the philosophical problem in philosophy.Confucianism,Buddhism and Taoism have formed their own theories of mind-nature in the long course of historical development,but in terms of their commonness,they all want to solve the problems of existence and value in life.As an important part of the theory of mind nature of Chinese Buddhism,T ibetan Buddhism is of course no exception.The thought of Ch?d is a method of mind cultivation created by Machig Labdron,a school of awareness of Tibetan Buddhism.By breaking the obstacles on the ro ad to liberation of the mind,Four Devils(The Material Devil,The Immaterial Devil,The Devil of Exaltation,The Devil of Inflation),we can fully see the original self-nature and pure mind,and explain the relationship between the realization of the mind nature and Buddhahood from a unique perspective.Although the sects of the Gcod School have disappeared,the thoughts,theories and practice methods of Machig Labdron have been affirmed and widely spread by other sects of Tibetan Buddhism.However,there are not many studies from the academic perspective.Especially,it is a pity and loss that her mind thought has not been fully understood and elucidated.The thought of Ch?d contains a lot of philosophical connotations of mind and nature.From the perspective of the origin of the Four Devils,Ego originates from inner craving and attachment;from the analysis of the relationship between the Four Devils and the nature of the mind: The Material Devil are the differences between the mind and the external environment;The Immaterial Devil is the delusional thoughts of the self;The Devil of Exaltation is the desire and habit of the heart;The Devil of Inflation is the attachment to the self,and it is the influence and function of the heart;from the perspective of practice,the process of cutting off the Four Devils is the one of mental nature realization.Therefore,this article incorporates the thought of the Four Devils into the Tibetan Buddhist Mind and Nature Theory,which is a multi-faceted consideration from the perspective of theory and practice.Based on the literature and field investigation,this paper demonstrates the rationality,inevitability and reality of Ch?d as the thought of mind.The analysis of the relationship between the four devils and the mind from the theoretical connotation and ideological origin of the four devils reflects the rationality of the four devils as the mind thought.The thought of Ch?d manifests the richness and innovation of the mind nature through the expansion of the category of mind nature,and it combines the emptiness of Prajna,that is,the intuitiveness of the interpretation of the Buddha nature,which proves that everyone can become a Buddha,and explains its inevitability as the thought of mind nature from the aspect of ideological characteristics.By renouncing Four devils method and the initial analysis,it practices to break the mind in addition to the mind of self-interest,Prajnaparamita emptiness wisdom of practice to break in addition to the Ego,from the main body awareness and ontology match emptiness to show Buddha nature,in the licensed realization ways embodies the Ch?d as a reality of the mind.As a mind-nature thought,Ch?d has an important position and far-reaching influence in the history of Tibetan Buddhism,and its theoretical value,practical significan ce and academic importance cannot be ignored.The thought of Ch?d of Machig Labdron shows her extraordinary achievement in the realization of mind nature with her unique interpretation of mind nature and her thorough interpretation of buddhist doctrines.From the perspective of its theoretical depth,Ch?d has made a comprehensive analysis of the inner nature of the category of mind,and has a transcendent understanding of the theory of Prajna emptiness and the thought of the Tathagata.From the practical point of view,the theory of Ch?d,by the way of perceiving the emptiness of Prajna and intuitively perceiving the Buddha nature of the Tathagata,gets rid of the defilement and attachment in the mind,so that all living beings can clear their own nature and manifest themselves,thus becoming Buddhas through nirvana.The thought of Ch?d proves that there is no difference between emptiness and Buddha nature in essence,but in different perspectives of interpretation.Its aim is that sentient beings and Buddha have a pure mind of their own nature,so that sentient beings can understand the nature of their own mind and realize the value and significance in their existence.
