Wrong entry wrong route to the funeral hall.

Really? With Buddha heart, all doors are Buddha doors? So, if we go read Harry Potter with Buddha heart, that will guide us on the Buddha path??

So with a non mara heart, all doors are non mara doors? Watching porn with a non mara heart, thats a non mara door too??
erm, think what we mean is 事事無礙法界. Pureland , we say 'when the mind is pure the land is pure. '
can rid the Buddha and the mara word and use Awaken/Unmovable and Deluded respectively instead.
for example water, that said, for ghost they see blood. for fish they see home, hell see fire etc.
for example when we sitting with Buddha, we see poluted land, but the Buddha see Pure land. it's the same land. as our mind not pure hence we see not pure. Shakyamuni show his pureland in Lotus Sutra by touching the ground.
when mara ask his daughters to seduce Buddha's during his awakening, the Buddha's mind was unmovable and Non deluded and He see Impermanence in the girls. All in the individual mind. When Buddha see mara, he see his inner Buddha-nature and respect him. but He does not praise his external conduct.

The Four Dharmadhatu (Chinese: 四法界), is a philosophical concept propagated by Master Tu-shun (Chinese: æ�œé †; 557-640 CE).[1] It builds upon and is a variant of the Dharmadhatu doctrine. Tu-shun is the founder of Hua-yan (Chinese: è�¯åš´) school. The Four Dharmadhatu were outlined in Tu-shun's treatise which has been rendered into English as 'On the Meditation of DharmadhÄ�tu'. The Four Dharmadhatu are:
- The Dharmadh�tu of 'Shih' (Chinese: 事法界; "shi fajie"). 'Shih' is a rendering of the character 事 which holds the semantic field: "matter", "phenomenon", "event". It may be understood as the 'realm' (Sanskrit: dh�tu) of all matters and phenomena.
- The Dharmadh�tu of 'Li'(Chinese: �法界; "li fajie"). 'Li' is a rendering of the character � which holds the semantic field: "principle", "law", "noumenon". This 'realm' (Sanskrit: dh�tu) may be understood as that of principles. It has been referred to as "the realm of the one principle". The "one principle" being qualified as śūnyat� (Sanskrit).[2]
- The Dharmadh�tu of Non-obstruction of 'Li' against 'Shih' (Chinese: �事無礙法界; "lishi wuai fajie"). This 'realm' (Sanskrit: dh�tu) has been rendered into English as "the realm of non-obstruction between principle and phenomena".[3]
- The Dharmadh�tu of the Non-obstruction of 'Shih' and 'Shih' (Chinese: 事事無礙法界; "shishi wuai fajie"). This 'realm' (Sanskrit: dh�tu) has been rendered into English as "the realm of non-obstruction between phenomena".[4]

For newbie Buddhist, still need to have some kind of rules and method to follow.
to form a gate, it need principle rule of discipline(of mind/body), concentration and transcendent wisdom. 戒定慧. any 84000 method that lead to discipline(of mind/body), and lead to concentration, and lead to transcendent wisdom is a good gate.
Story of Culapanthaka is an example. sweeping the floor and focus reciting "Sweeping broom" is the method or door/gate.
Culapanthaka who is toward lacking of understanding but reach enlightenment through body/mind discipling.
Cudapanthaka, The Door Watching Arhat (16): (Also called Culapanthaka, or Pantha the Younger) This is the younger brother of Panthaka above; his name means "Little Panthaka," or Road-born. There are two famous stories about him. One is that he was slow-witted, and unable to learn even a single verse. But the Buddha, using skillful means, taught him to sweep (in some versions, to wipe) and repeat a simple verse, such as "Sweeping broom," to focus his mind. This simple method led him to Enlightenment. Another story says that he used to knock roughly on people's doors to beg for food. Once, he knocked on an old, rotten door, and it fell to pieces! So the Buddha gave him a ringed staff (like that held by Bhadra next to him) and told him to pound the ground with it, instead of pounding on the door with his fist. Through this (and the sweeping association) he came to be thought of as one who guards the doors of the senses, letting only pure things in.
we also have walking, eating, drinking, breathing. and countless ways. but principle rule 戒定慧 should be the same.

What if others find that it is easer to enter Buddhism from Di Zi Gui ? I don't see anything wrong.�顺众生 right?
