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…

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
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。

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

There are 3 levels of stillness: 1) In elementary stillness, phenomena come to a stand still; 2) In intermediate stillness, the thinking mind is stilled and centered amist changing phenomena; 3) In advanced stillness, one dissolves into the Source, transcends the move-still duality, and all unfold in perfect harmony.

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
