  • 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

    觀心 4 levels of Observation

    觀形不如觀色,人會整形觀色不如觀氣,人會化妝觀氣不如觀神,氣幻無常觀神不如觀心,神出于心 孔子云,觀人要多方面觀,持續的觀。所謂:路遙知馬力,日久見人心。 這裡的心,為思想心之內之自心,最高者為離我執分別之不二真心。 4 levels of Observation 1. 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. Observing energy, is less effective than observing mind, as energy changes with situations;4. Observing mind, is…

  • 慈悲

    慈悲

  • 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。

  • 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。

  • 觀照,照住,照見

    觀照,照住,照見

    心經云,觀自在菩薩,行深般若波羅蜜多時,照見五蘊皆空,度一切苦厄。 華嚴導師曰,修行有三步:觀照,照住,照見 止住妄想後(不是沒有思想,是沒有ego小我之二創修改),剩下來的現象和境界為觀。 觀當分為二時,含”能”觀之般若智慧,和”所”觀之森羅萬象。 般若智(能),為離相融相之不二本體覺性;而森羅萬象(所)包括了全體之身心有無,即心經中提及到的5蘊18界12因緣4諦2無,41大類人生組成板塊。 見性後,超越板塊,為觀;未見性,或迷於板塊時,為散亂顛倒。 明心見性後,為何要繼續起觀?因為覺悟只是短暫,片面的,未徹底,未窮盡。i.e. 41板塊中,只能在某些板塊中自在,餘下的板塊中還有無明,障礙,對立。所以還要繼續起觀,繼續摸索,成長,前行。 在此路上,意識到當前障礙,並且用生命能量去探索問題,焦點,為觀照;認清障礙,並聚焦生命能於問題和解決困難上時,為照住;問題得到圓滿解決和超越時,為照見。 所以“觀”自(自心),在菩薩(本體起用),行深般若波羅蜜多(能)時,照見五蘊(所)皆空(不是沒有,是不二中超越了)。 所以,明心見性,止住妄想,對於初學者來說,是目的。但對於高階行者,才是起點。 真理水平999

    Stillness

    不動

    身心不郁動 現象界照動 唯有般若中 離融動不動 行者的心,隨著正確的修行,會越來越清明,越來越廣闊,越來越燦爛,越來越平靜 開始調身,身平靜 繼而調心,心平靜 進而找本心,至大平靜 小平靜中相不動 中平靜中意不動 大平靜中為般若,離動靜,融動靜,無靜無不靜 是為不動 生命水平997

  • 修行核心 – 能與所

    修行核心 – 能與所

    能為本心,所為現象 修行就是修心。先靜妄心,再找真心,然後置真心(能)於一處(所)。 置心一處,生命成長,開展,無事不辦。 最後人生定位至無邊無量,孕育生化萬物之無始無終不二源頭,重重無盡,無盡成長,無盡超越。 在此方向,若能置心(真心,本心,不二心)一處,便行行可修行,到處可修行。i.e. 工作可修行,家庭可修行,食飯可修行,掃地可修行,以至生活就是修行。 凡夫萬法中流轉聲聞悟能無有所緣覺能所中自在菩薩活用能所二普賢圓滿能所一佛圓滿中能所泯
