禪修

依賴著

不停的

醒覺



純然的專注

這是一個發掘自我心靈的正確態度。當專注觀察時 , 不要有選擇，不要有比較，不要有評價，不要預測及期望將會發生甚麼事情。

而是要培養一個無分別心和不干預的醒覺。



一個未經訓練的心往往是被動的，不可抗拒地追求著刺激 , 逃避著責任，執著喜歡的事物，痛罵著憎厭的東西，這是一個貪瞋癡的心、是一個不平衡的心態。

若能培養純然的覺察，當我們遇到不如意的情況下 , 學會如何當下去放下、減輕或免除苦惱的感受和想法，從而獲得一個較正面、寧靜和平衡的心態。



純然的專注不僅限於在早晨或傍晚的靜坐。

如果衹是在靜坐時才專注 , 而平時就隨隨便便，這樣我們的生活是不完整的。

正念應當在每一刻都適用，無論是行住坐臥都要正念著我們的思維與言行。



我們應該時時刻刻培養對 :

每一個環境、每一個事物、每一個念頭，

都以純然的專注來觀察和反醒。

每一刻都應全心全意與圓融無礙地活著。



The Vajra Prajnà Pàramità Sutra

金剛般若波羅蜜經

The Vajra Prajnà Pàramità Sutra

金剛般若波羅蜜經



Chapter 16 Karmic Obstructions can be Purified第十六品能净業障分

“Moreover, Subhuti, if a good man, or good woman, receives, holds, reads, and recites this Sutra and if people ridicule him, that man has karmic offenses from previous lives which destine him for the evil paths. But because in his present life he is ridiculed by others, his previous karmic offenses are destroyed and he will attain Anuttarasamyaksambodhi.”

「復次，須菩提！善男子、善女人，受持讀誦此經，若為人輕賤，是人先世罪業，應墮惡道，以今世人輕賤故，先世罪業則為消滅，當得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。」



Chapter 16 Karmic Obstructions can be Purified第十六品能净業障分“Subhuti, I recall that in the past, for limitless asamkhyeya kalpas prior

to Burning Lamp Buddha, I encountered eighty-four thousands of millions of billions of nayutas of Buddhas, and made offerings to them all, and served them all without exception but if there is a person in the final period who can receive, hold, read, and recite this Sutra, the merit and virtue he obtains is a hundred times more, a thousand times more, a million, billion times more, to the point of being so great it exceeds all calculation and comparison, than the merit and virtue I gained from making offerings to all those Buddhas.”

「須菩提！我念過去無量阿僧祇劫，於燃燈佛前，得值八百四千萬億那由他諸佛，悉皆供養承事，無空過者；若復有人，於後末世，能受持讀誦此經，所得功德，於我所供養諸佛功德，百分不及一，千萬億分、乃至算數譬喻所不能及。」



Chapter 16 Karmic Obstructions can be Purified第十六品能净業障分

“Subhuti, if I were to express thoroughly the merit and virtue of a good man, or good woman, who in the final period receives, holds, reads, and recites the Sutra, those who heard might go insane, and disbelieve. Subhuti, you should know that this Sutra’s meaning is inconceivable, and that its resulting retribution also is inconceivable.”

「須菩提！若善男子、善女人，於後末世，有受持讀誦此經，所得功德，我若具說者，或有人聞，心則狂亂，狐疑不信。須菩提！當知是經義不可思議，果報亦不可思議。」



Case 33: The Symbol of the Circle碧岩錄第三十三則 : 一圓相

Chen Cao, Ministry President, went to see Zi Fu. When Fu saw him coming, he immediately drew a circle. Cao said,” My coming here like this has already missed the point, how much more so, to go on and draw a circle!” Fu there upon closed the door of his room. Xue Dou said,” Chen Cao has just one eye.”舉，陳操尚書看資福，福見來便畫一圓相。操云：“弟

子恁麽來？早是不著便，何況更畫一圓相。”福便掩卻方丈門。雪窦云：“陳操隻具一隻眼。”



Case 33: The Symbol of the Circle碧岩錄第三十三則 : 一圓相

Round, round, the pearls go round, ringing like hanging jades,Borne on horses, carried on asses, loaded on iron ships,Imparted to unconcerned travelers of mountains and seas.When fishing for a tortoise, down goes a cage trap.Xue Duo added, “No Zen monk in the world can hop out.”團團珠繞玉珊珊，馬載驢馱上鐵船。分付海山無事客，釣鳌時下一圈攣。雪竇復云 : “ 天下衲僧跳不出”
