  • 修身, 修心, 修神

    修身, 修心, 修神

    修身不如修心,心行身故 修心不如修神,神生心故 此神非形而下可描述之神,乃無始無終,無邊無量,上通下達,之不二源頭 故初品修身,中品修心,上品修神 圖:一代宗師 The Grandmaster 問: 請問心與神有什麼分別? 答: 這裡的心(中文裡有很多不同意思的心),指思想心;這裡的神,指思想心背後的生命源頭。前者如浮雲,飄泊不定;後者為生命本源,不一不二,無邊無量,無始無終。技術上,先修福報正知見,再調身心,才會有條件探索和感受神。

    觀心 4 levels of Observation

Observing appearance, is less effective than observing color, as form can be changed by surgery;2. Observing color, is less effective than observing energy, as color could be masked by make up;3.

  • 道法自然

    道法自然

    何謂道法自然? 人法地,人受制如地球法則(四季寒暑,地球物理)地法天,地球受制於宇宙法則(自轉公轉,物理精神)天法道,宇宙受制於形而上的道理(道)道法自然,道又受制於什麼?自然 不是大自然的自然,是自心之所然,形上形下總體法則之所然。 萬法出於自心。心善世界善,心惡世界惡,心攝世界攝。心善時,意善思想善行動善,故世界善;心惡時,意惡思想惡行動惡,故世界惡。 何謂善?對生命有正面影響和提升的為善,反者為惡。 世間迷者,不知善惡,或缺乏定力,隨波逐流。沉迷各種不善之感官刺激和追求。生命能量耗盡時,後悔莫及。 所以,道法自然中,其實並無外在神明主宰和決定命運,一切唯心做,前因爲何,現況就何。萬物都根據自身和族群之發展而繼續奮鬥而已,為自然。

  • 五道看眾生

    五道看眾生

    凡夫:眾生為獨立之身心存在個體,包括自利損他的惡人,自利利他之善人,和人云亦云之羊群。是有生有滅的生命體。當中有人及時行樂,有人追求身意識之永恆天堂和淨土,有人探索真理。 聲聞:眾生為虛假存在之身心合成物,身心滅盡時無有眾生。 獨覺:眾生為因緣和合之幻相,非有非無,迷者誤認爲相,覺者離相非相悟中道,入不二本體。 菩薩:眾生為真實存在之迷途生命,與自身一體,是前進的挑戰和動力。老子云:不善者,善者之資。 法身大士/佛:眾生是眾生,眾生不是眾生,眾生是名眾生。本體中,含融一切,相用其中。不可說,而包含一切說。

  • 大乘願行

    大乘願行

    大乘行者於鬧市中為眾生願行的心境,是二乘(聲聞獨覺)所不能理解和體會的。 前者對生命之認知,感受,投入,和熱情,是後者的百倍,千倍,萬倍不止。 感恩,分享,共同進步。

  • 大乘佛教的“願”

    大乘佛教的“願”

    何謂大乘佛教的“願”? “眾生無邊誓願度;煩惱無盡誓願斷;法門無盡誓願學;佛道無上誓願成” – 四弘願 大乘十波羅蜜中,“方便”,“願”,“力”,“智”為前六基礎波羅蜜(“布施”,“持戒”,“忍辱”,“精進”,“禪定”,“般若”)基礎打好以後之後四修行項目。 “方便”為法身(真理)於法界(總體)的綜合應用;“願”為生命的目標與定位;“力”和“智”為定位後生出的法界總體內外力量與智慧。 如世間法一樣,有目標才有進步;出世間心靈法亦然。但是,前者是以自我為中心,後者則是以宇宙真理和法界總體為中心。 行者成就了前六波羅蜜後,體會到法身(能),與法界(所)後,便有條件在生活中靈活運用(方便),訂立生命目標(願),並在生命洪流中往目標進發(行願)。 故,越遠大深廣的目標,就會帶領行者走向越遠大深廣的生命狀態和境界。所以佛菩薩的願,如地藏菩薩本願,藥師如來本願,普賢行願,都是遠大深廣,無邊無量的。 華嚴導師建議,修行者可每年寫下自己的願,並每年拿出來檢討,看一年來有否進步,及是否有需要修改改進。 時間性上,不必局限如某個時空,而可寫個應用於整個法界和生命洪流的願。例如這刻我的願為: 1.他日成佛,願內心害怕緊張者,放鬆調和,淡定自若,正信向前 2.他日成佛,願內心自覺不美者,會自本心,無邊燦爛,本自具足 3.他日成佛,願內心沈迷各欲望者,察覺自省,具勇猛力,抽拔超脫 4.他日成佛,願失魂被動生活者,得習專一,會動靜定,主動人生,正念前行 5.他日成佛,願內心迷惘前路者,遇善因緣,會其正趣,奮發向上 6.他日成佛,願遇困難挫折者,得大力勇毅,善人扶持指點,繼續前行 7.他日成佛,願福德資糧不足者,知正方法,積建資糧,助正法行 8.他日成佛,願稍有成就者,遇善知識,續知上路,繼續廣深 9.他日成佛,願得自在者,分享其法,助他眾生,同得自在,成大自在 10.他日成佛,願大自在者,會佛本心,超二越一,無智無得,滙歸本元,無邊綻放 有願有心,有心有力,祝願大家都能發起正願,讓生命開展,成長,芬芳,燦爛,實現幸福的人生。
