有能無力

2017/12/27







今年是充滿變動的一年!

母親往生,帶來生命一定程度的衝擊。 教課六年多, 每周北上陪伴母親再去上課充電已成習慣。但隨著母喪,頓時失去北上的動力。"破窗理論"果然是事實,無論任何理由,一旦給了自己一個藉口,再想回到原來的定課軌道,著實少了強烈動機。往往在大橋頭捷運站,看到"南勢角",就感慨萬千。"永安市場"站,已隨著母逝,成了往事如煙的虛幻了。

而母逝之後,一切俗事的處理,不得不,不必然,不願想。就是一步一步如實地走著,做著。冥冥之中,天上的媽媽,沒有肉身的遮蔽,源源不斷的護念與關愛,都真切地感受得到。"對不起,請原諒我,謝謝你,我愛你"四句話,是憶起母親時的箴言密語。

 
 
生命有其本能。在生命之流中, 如何順其本能,少掉後天人為的造作障礙,讓它如是如是地流動著,要有"有能無力"的深切體會。Effortless effort! 少女時父親車禍傷殘,中年時才成為成年孤兒,上天已給了我許多時間的準備來體驗這一趟人生。除了感恩,還是感恩!  人身難得,佛法難聞,接下來的每一步,要更紮實更真切地以solo walking的精神,步步前行。



本覺直觀解脫法門9-10

2017/11/27


9. It is certain that the nature of the mind is empty and without any foundation whatsoever.

Your own mind is insubstantial like the empty sky.

You should look at your own mind to see whether it is like that

or not.


Being without any view that decisively decides that it is empty, it is certain that self-originated primal awareness has been clear (and luminous) from the very beginning, like the heart of the sun, which is itself self-originated.

You should look at your own mind to see whether it is like that or not. 


It is certain that this primal awareness or gnosis, which is one’s intrinsic awareness, is unceasing, like the main channel of a river that flows unceasingly.
You should look at your own mind to see whether it is like that or not.


It is certain that the diversity of movements (arising in the mind) are not apprehendable by memories, they are like insubstantial breezes that move through the atmosphere.

You should look at your own mind to see whether it is like that or not.


It is certain that whatever apperances occur¸ all of them are self-manifested, like the images in a mirror being self-manifestations that simply appear.

You should look at your own mind to see whether it is like that or not.


It is certain that all of the diverse characteristics of things are liberated into their own condition, like clouds in the atmosphere that are self-originated and self-liberated. You should look at your own mind to see whether it is like that or not.


There exist no phenomena other than what arises from the mind.

Other than the meditation that occurs, where is the one who is meditating?



這點是肯定的: 心的本質(本覺)是空性的沒有實體的,就像虛空般沒有實性。

你應該如此觀照自心。


沒有先入為主的成見先認定它是空性的,自性生起的本覺從無始以來就是清明淨性的,它就像太陽的核心,由中心發光發熱。

你應該如此觀照自心。


這本覺或者稱為靈知,是與生俱來的,就像河流的主幹道不斷地流動著,從來沒有中止過。

你應該如此觀照自心。


由心所生起的種種心識變化,是無法以過去的種種記憶來理解分析的,就像無實性的微風在空中流動著。

你應該如此觀照自心。


無論外在顯相是如何升起,它們全都是自己顯現的,就如同鏡中的影像只是很單純地映照著。

你應該如此觀照自心。


世間萬事萬物是依各自的因緣生生滅滅,就像虛空中的雲是自然地生起和消失。

你應該如此觀照自心。


所有現象的顯現都是從自心生起的(一切唯心照,萬法唯識)


除了當下正在進行的禪修活動之外,還有一個谁是正在禪修的主人嗎?


10.  There exist no phenomena other than what arises from the mind.

Other than the behavior that occurs, where is the one who is behaving?

There exist no phenomena other than what arises from the mind.

Other than the samaya vow that occurs, where is the one who is guarding it?

There exist no phenomena other than what arises from the mind.

Other than the fruition that occurs, where is the one who is realizing (the fruit)? You should look at your own mind, observing it again and again.


所有現象的存在都是從自心所生起的(一切唯心照,萬法唯識)

除了正在發生的行為(ex. 禪修活動),還有個誰是正在做這行為的主人嗎?

除了三昧耶戒誓願的存在,還有一個誰是正在守戒的主人嗎?

所有現象的存在都是從自心所生起的(一切唯心照,萬法唯識)


除了修證所得的果位,還有一個誰是正在實證(果位)的主人翁嗎? 你應該如此持續不斷地觀照自心。
