The True Buddhist Dharma to Calm Down Disasters and Bless Blessings
Definition

釋經(一)
祈請蓮生活佛加持文:
嗡。啞。吽。
敬以清淨身口意。供養毘盧遮那尊。
法身佛眼佛母聖。報身蓮花童子身。
應身教主蓮生佛。三身無別大佛恩。
恭敬真佛大傳承。具足神通彌六合。
「嗡」——就是宇宙。
「啊」——就是一,就是佛。
「吽」——就是果位,就是果。
嗡、啊、吽,就等於宇宙的佛顯現了一切的相、一切的果、。其實,這三個字有很深很深的意義在裡面。並不一定就是講,宇宙、佛、顯現了一切的相。另外還有一種涵義。可以解釋成:
天的清淨
地的清淨
眾生的清淨
一切的本性清淨
現在再來解釋底下的偈——加持文。
「敬以清淨身口意。供養毘盧遮那佛。」
這一行大家以為很容易,反正供養毘盧遮那尊很簡單,就是用「身」、「口」、「意」,去供養就可以了。其實,身、口、意的供養是最難的。
身、口、意的清淨就是你的身體一切的清淨,你的口一切的清淨,你的意念一切的清淨。這樣子用你的全身,包括身、口、意業的清淨,來供養大日如來。
大家不要以為身體的清淨就是洗個澡就好了,你洗了外表,但是裡面還有東西。雖然你以為你已經坐過蓮花(上廁所)了,其實裡面還有剩餘物一點點。身體的清淨,就是表示、你的手並沒有去做壞事,並沒有去亂摸,並沒有去亂偷;沒有去盜、沒有偷、沒有亂摸、沒有亂觸、就是身體的清淨。並不是說你洗一個澡就身體清淨了。
第二個講口的清淨。我跟我們「回信公司」的朋友講:「其實我們每個人應該在嘴巴上做一個拉鏈,平時從這邊拉到另一邊來,免得製造很多是非。而且用鎖將它鎖起來,吃飯時,就去找錀匙把鎖打開,又把拉鏈從另一邊拉到這邊來吃飯。平時就是這樣子拉起來,少講話就沒有是非了。」
不過,有很多人的習慣,一開口呢,就吐出來不是什麼好的巧克力、不是甜的,而是射箭般傷人。不然,就是講一些假的事情,就是講一些妄言或者誑語,或者講一些綺語。假如你開口沒有什麼過失的話,這就叫做「口的清淨」。
但是我發覺「口」的清淨也很難。因為,每一個人的毛病是聽到了不講不行,憋在肚子,肚子會脹死。希望大家聽到後,進來——順著胃腸下來——就從底下出去就好,反正都是臭的嘛!
身體的清淨跟口的清淨還不要緊,我的意思不是講不要緊,是比較輕一點的罪。身、口的清淨都是比較可以克制的,可以修養改進的。
這個「意的清淨」、「意念」的清淨最難。誰敢講自己的意念都是清淨的?剛才你在入三摩地的時候,師尊一看,每個人頭上都有一點黑光。什麼「三摩地」?是想入非非地。
事實上,只要你不是聖人,你就是有意念上的犯罪。在這世界上出現的聖人只有「寥寥無幾」而已。大部分的聖人也都是躲在深山裡面,他不敢下山到城市,看到電影的招牌就頭昏眼花了。
在色界、欲界裡面,意念的清淨很困難。現在的聖人通通集中關在無色界,唯有在無色界,什麼形象都沒有,那時才是真正的清淨。所以「意念的清淨」,非常的困難。
第一句話講:要用身體的清淨、口的清淨、意念的清淨,來供養毘盧遮那佛。現在很多的弟子供養師尊也是說:「我以身的清淨、口的清淨、意念的清淨,來供養師尊就好了。」西雅圖的「回信公司」都知道,這些供養會讓我們倒貼郵票、倒貼時間和金錢。
不過,今天跟大家講:「大家假如能夠用身、口、意的清淨來供養佛,供養出家人,供養所有的聖人,你能夠這樣子做到的話……免費。」假如沒有辦法做到,我認為還是放一點物質上的東西比較好。
大家都知道的,毘盧遮那佛就是大日如來。祂是所有很多佛的本尊。祂在變化法身的時候,曾經變化成為「佛眼佛母」降生。佛眼佛母祂的雙眼,就是化現在西方極樂世界的「摩訶雙蓮池」。而佛眼佛母雙眼的光明就化為「蓮花童子」。那麼蓮花童子呢?因為蓮花童子都降生在這個世界上,目前在娑婆世界,變化成為應身,就是蓮花童子下生到這個人間來度眾生。
法身、報身、應身都是沒有差別的。以前釋迦牟尼佛降生在娑婆世界,祂的法身就是毘盧遮那佛,祂的報身就是盧舍那佛,祂的應身就是釋迦牟尼佛。法身、報身、應身都是沒有差別的。
我們真佛弟子都應該恭敬這個真佛這樣偉大的傳承。我們修行,將來就是回到蓮花童子的世界裡面,就是回到佛眼佛母的雙眼。那個世界,就是「真佛世界」,就是我們原來的地方,真正的淨土。
法身、報身、應身,這三個身,在以前就有人講,只是宇宙、月亮、還有月亮照在水池上所分出來那些月,就是等於法身、報身、應身這種比喻。這種情形和這天上的雲變成雨水,雨水凝固變成冰,這個冰、水、雲是同樣的,並沒有什麼差別,只是形象的不同而已。這就是『三身無別大佛恩』。
再來一句是「具足神通彌六合」。今天晚上剛好講到「神通」兩字,這個嘛,師尊要研究研究前幾世以前有沒有做錯事。假如做錯事的話,看起來也是很危險、很令人煩惱的一件事,被石頭打死了就不能吃飯。
神通、變化確實有的。你假如能夠修行到「精神合一」的時候,你就會產生一種力量出來。這種力量,就變成神通。我們曉得太陽光它不可能殺人、不會殺人。但是假如我們弄一個很大的放大鏡在太陽光底下,將焦距調成一點集中時,照在你的手背上,剛好太陽光在那兒,擺一個放大鏡,焦距調好,剛好燒在你的肉上,看看你痛不痛?大家不要實驗,那會變成烤肉的。
事實上是這樣的,把所有的光能集中,就會產生很大的力量出來。將你自己的意念,集中成為一點,任何的力量都可以透視過去。天眼通就是這是這樣子產生出來的。另外,你假如把你的力量,你全身的細胞,都化成「沒有」的話,你的「力量」就出來了。就等於你自己是一個放射器,放射頻率出去,整個宇宙之間就充滿了你的頻率。這句話就解釋這個「具足神通彌六合」。
你的念力可以存在整個宇宙之間。所以你們在唸「上師心咒」的時候,一唸上師心咒,哇!你就感應到了。是因為空氣之中就有師尊心咒的念力存在。
馬來西亞來的弟子當中,有一個是專門替別人做靈療,用他的能去幫助別人的,是蓮類吧?站起來讓大家看看,你們看他的頭髮很白呀!他以前的身體很差,是皈依師尊以後身體才好的。還沒有皈依以前,他是要別人替他治病的,不是他替別人治病。皈依以後,就變成他替別人治病。他頭髮很白的原因是頭髮裡的細胞都已經死了,那是以前他身體不好的時候就已經白了,不是皈依以後才白的。
他在替別人治病時,經常用觀想的,用念力觀想諸佛、菩薩在他的頭頂,或者師尊在他的頭頂上面。佛放光、用光能加在他身上,然後他再移出去,加在別人身上,他經常觀想師尊在他頭頂上,他的頭髮就化成一朵白蓮花,師尊就坐在白蓮花上面。他的手一伸出去,這師尊的光照到他,他又推出去,這光照在別人身上,別人身上的病就好了。
師尊今天一看到他就知道,原來是你。因為他經常借我的電,這個嘛!應該收你一點電費的,老是把我身上的電偷掉,害我都沒有電。
釋經(二)
放光遍照於三際。一如無間能現證。
佛子時時常哀請。光明注照福慧增。
昔日釋迦來授記。阿彌陀佛殷付托。
彌勒菩薩戴紅冠。蓮華大士授密法,
祈請不捨弘誓願。救度我等諸眾生。
如是護念而攝受。祈請加持速成就。
南無毘盧遮那佛。
南無佛眼佛母。
南無蓮花童子。
南無蓮生活佛。
南無真佛海會十方三世諸佛菩薩摩訶薩。
唸聖誥三遍:
西方蓮池海會。摩訶雙蓮池。十八大蓮花童子。
白衣聖尊。紅冠聖冕金剛上師。
主金剛真言界秘密主。大持明第一世靈仙真佛宗。
盧勝彥密行尊者。
香讚
爐香乍熱。法界蒙熏。真佛海會悉遙聞。隨處結祥雲。
誠意方殷。諸佛現全身。南無香雲蓋菩薩摩訶薩。
南無香雲蓋菩薩摩訶薩。南無香雲蓋菩薩摩訶薩。
南無真佛會上諸佛菩薩摩訶薩(三稱)
今天講「放光遍照於三際」。今年的超度法會,放光照片也有很多張。所謂「遍照於三際」,三際就是指過去、現在、未來。
「一如無間能現證」,就是好象沒有時間的限制,完全是廣大無量的,通通能夠馬上證明出來。
「佛子時時常哀請」,這就是說,學佛的人時時都是在修行。所謂「哀請」,並不是說非常悲哀、拼命的叫個不停,而是修行的人時時做一種死的準備,經常的修行,不管任何時候都是非常清淨的。這樣子,就有很多的光明照在你的身上,使你的福份和智慧,每一次每一次因你的修行而增加,一直達到圓滿。
過去的時候,釋迦牟尼佛曾經來給蓮花童子授記。授記就是說,你將來要成佛、要度眾生、要發菩提心。
過去的時候,阿彌陀佛很殷勤的把眾生的責任付托給蓮花童子。彌勒菩薩也給蓮花童子戴了紅冠。
蓮華生大士也教蓮花童子在世界上度眾生的秘密法。
因為有這些真正的傳承,所以必須要學佛的人不可捨棄當初你皈依的時候,你有很多的誓願,你就不能把這個誓願忘掉。經常有這個誓、有這個願發菩提心,這樣子,就是「不捨弘誓願」。
也就是說:蓮花童子,祂也發了誓願,要來度眾生。現在請不要忘了當初你發的誓願,一個人走了不行,要把所有的人都帶走。就是要求蓮花童子要「救度我等諸眾生」。
如此,蓮花童子一直在保護你的念頭,而且攝受、幫助你,而來接受你。祈求蓮花童子的加持,希望能夠很快的有成就。
祈請蓮生活佛加持文這個偈後面就講到傳承,就是:
南無毘盧遮那佛——就是根本的傳承。
南無佛眼佛母
南無蓮花童子
南無蓮生活佛
南無真佛海會十方三世諸佛菩薩摩訶薩
這個摩訶薩的意思就是「大」,表示「大菩薩」。
所以我們這個傳承,非常的重要。最開始的時候,是「中央佛」,就是「最初佛」,也就是「原始佛」,祂就是「毘盧遮那佛」。
毘盧遮那佛化身為「佛眼佛母」,佛眼佛母的雙眼就化身為摩訶雙蓮池這個大雙蓮池。摩訶雙蓮池的光明就化身為「蓮花童子」。
今天師尊就講大傳承,這個就是「南無真佛海會十方三世諸佛菩薩摩訶薩,大諸佛菩薩」。
再來是唸聖誥三遍。這個聖誥很長,名片印起來都滿了,所以師尊很少印名片,名片都是弟子印的。本來師尊很少印,是有些弟子印了名片,送到寺裡來,我說我從來沒發名片給人的。真正要印起名片來,這稱號是很長,印一本書也是不夠的。
「西方蓮池海會」,就是西方阿彌陀佛的蓮池在那裡,像海那麼大。這樣子這麼大的盛會,有兩個非常大的蓮花池。在這蓮花池裡,有十八位大的蓮花童子。其中有一個是穿白衣的尊者,師尊並沒有時常穿白色衣服,不過頭髮白了倒是真的。
「紅冠聖冕金剛上師」就是因為彌勒菩薩給戴了紅冠,垂了雙個聖冕。這金剛上師就是得金剛心,無上之師。這是「紅冠聖冕金剛上師」。
「主金剛真言界秘密主」這是現在的化身。所謂秘密主,就是金剛薩埵。金剛薩埵百字明就是「金剛心」。為什麼是「主金剛真言界秘密主」呢?因為他已經得到了金剛心,跟金剛薩埵一樣的負有弘法的任務,所以他來金剛真言界做他的主。這是「主金剛真言界秘密主」的解釋。
所以師尊就寫了四本書,一本叫「秘中秘」,第二本「奇中奇」,第三本是「法中法」,第四本是「佛中佛」。這個是很神秘的,因為神秘,所以叫「秘密主」。
把這個法的秘密,這秘密的秘密,奇中的奇,佛中的佛,通通挖出來了,這就是說你通通看得非常清楚了,一切通通明白,你持到了——就是你抓住了一切的光明,很大很大的光明你完全抓住了。就是沒有一件事情你不明白的,就叫著「大持明」。
什麼叫做「第一世」呢?第一世就是第一個,不是第二個,也不是第三個。既然不是第二個、第三個,就是第一個。好象沒有什麼第零個。
這裡有一件事情和大家講一下,很多人都為了這個事情跟師尊講,他說:「師尊!你這個傳承講你是第一個,我看現在很多密宗、很多教派,都是傳到第十二世、第十八世、第十四世、第十五世、第二十幾世,甚至三十幾世。這麼搞的,還沒有看到有第一世?」
他們問我:「你這個傳承,是不是真的?」(是我的弟子問我)
我問他說:「你是第幾世?」
他回答說:「師尊第一世,我當然是第二世。」
我再問他:「你知道嗎?那個第十二世的前面,是第幾世?」
他回答說:「小學生都會答,一定是第十一世。」
我問他說:「第十二世前進了十一世,是第幾世?」
他回答說:「那一定是第一世啊!」
我跟他講:「那個就是跟師尊一樣大。」
他說:「都是他們都有一代傳一代,那師尊的師父是誰?第零世是誰啊?」
我跟弟子講:「你去問那個第十二世的,他的第一世是誰傳給他的?」跟師尊一樣嘛!他的傳承也是從虛空中傳給他的。師尊的傳承也是虛空中傳給師尊的。
你問他一下,他們說:「我們是人傳人。」
我說:「吹牛!胡說八道。」
我問你:「你的第一世是誰傳給他的?」
慘了!他們都答不出來;原來也是虛空傳給他的。
任何一個宗派第一個人,一定是虛空傳給他的。
釋迦牟尼佛在菩提樹下靜坐,是誰傳給他的?祂是自己領悟自己的心,自己的心又從虛空中來。
所以,佛教真正的佛,是虛空中傳給他的傳承,有人講釋迦牟尼佛前世(好像幾世以前)時,是燃燈古佛個祂授記。然後祂在菩提樹下自悟,自己開悟,才有佛教的傳承。今天是釋迦牟尼佛給師尊授記,彌勒菩薩給師尊戴這個紅冠聖冕,所以才有傳承。
這個弟子一聽,啊!原來如此!明白了!原來師尊這麼偉大!是第一世啊!我說:「你們第二世的都贏過那些第十八世、第十四世、第十二世,通通都贏過了。」
這個傳承原來是從虛空中來。以後,才是依人傳承。像是,師尊傳給大家,你們就是依人傳承。每一個第一世都是虛空中傳給他的。
再來解釋「密行尊者」四個字。所謂「密行」,有的人說師尊根本沒有什麼秘密。我假如沒有什麼秘密的話,你們還學什麼?我的秘密非常多!例如我在求法期間,到山頂去學法,很辛苦!用生命去換來的這些法(這些法都是我用生命去換來的)。在學法期間,在修行當中,都是非常秘密的。
很多跟了我十幾年的弟子,都要知道我是到那裡去學的。就像到那一個山頂去找神仙,他們也要去找。我每一次都帶他們到山腳下採一點龍眼、荔枝,吃了吃,就回來了。這是我自己的秘密。我在那邊修行的時候,我不願讓人家知道我是怎樣子修,怎樣子用生命去換來。反正你們知道有功夫就好了,不必知道那麼多了,這個就是「密行尊者」。
接著「香讚」。每次在唱的,大家都知道。這個「香」跟「爐」都因為你燒了香,香薰得很高。好像又薰又熱,法界都充滿了。這個真佛海會都可以聞到你的一切的供養。這個供養就像天上的祥雲一樣,充滿了整個天。你心中的誠意是非常的殷勤,非常的懇切。正是非常懇切,非常誠意之中,分佛、菩薩就顯現了祂的全身。什麼是「南無香雲蓋菩薩摩訶薩」呢?就是你的供養跟天上的香雲一樣,整個布滿跟華蓋一樣那麼大。「南無」就是皈依了,皈依真佛海會上的所有佛、菩薩,所有的大佛、大菩薩。

蓮生活佛說:「真實佛法息災賜福經」
如是我聞。一時大白蓮花童子。在摩訶雙蓮池。坐於大白蓮花法座之上。周圍十七朵大蓮花。青色青光。黃色黃光。赤色赤光。紫色紫光。各朵蓮花。微妙香潔。白蓮花童子。默運神通。
我們講到真佛經要「奉請二佛八菩薩」。
奉請的二佛是:
南無法界最勝宮毘盧遮那佛
南無西方極樂世界阿彌陀佛
有人講「毘盧遮那佛」是「最初佛」。所謂最初佛就是說在它之前沒有佛。它是第一個佛。它有一個稱呼,就是「法界最勝宮」。所謂法界最勝宮,我們腦海裡可能會想到一個非常漂亮的宮殿,也許我們會想到以前被秦始皇燒掉的那個阿房宮。
不過它這裡談到「法界」,什麼叫做法界呢?法界就是代表了「四聖六凡」,整個通通包含了。
四聖界就是「佛」、「菩薩」、「緣覺」、「聲聞」這就是四聖界。六凡呢?「天」、「人」、「阿修羅」、「地獄」、「餓鬼」、「畜生」。
那麼,這個宮殿就等於整個宇宙、整個世界,包含了人間,所有的通通包含--就是法界--在這個宮殿裡面建築的,等於全部。
又講「最勝」呢,就是說最好的、最完美的、最圓融的,就是整個通通都佔有的,這就是「最勝」。
大家曉得毘盧遮那佛就是根本佛,也就是太初古佛,也就是我們真佛宗的傳承裡面,主要的,從它那兒開始的傳承佛。所以我們在誦經以前,先要召請我們的傳承佛(第一尊)。
那麼,為什麼又要召請「南無西方極樂世界阿彌陀佛」呢?因為這一尊佛是付囑佛。就是祂要求(祂希望)蓮花童子從南無西方極樂世界摩訶雙蓮池下生到人間來傳真佛密法。是祂希望、祂付囑的,等於是祂請你下來的。所以,一定要召請。今天呢,假如沒有毘盧遮那佛,沒有阿彌陀佛,就沒有真佛宗!
我們還要再奉請八大菩薩:
南無觀世音菩薩
南無彌勒菩薩
南無虛空藏菩薩
南無普賢菩薩
南無金剛手菩薩
南無妙吉祥菩薩
南無除蓋障菩薩
南無地藏王菩薩
南無諸尊菩薩摩訶薩
奉請八菩薩,還有最後一個「南無諸尊菩薩摩訶薩」。意思是說:所有的菩薩全部奉請。這樣子說起來,幾乎所有的菩薩都跟我們真佛宗有很大的緣分。
我們奉請了二佛八菩薩,就是奉請了根本的本尊傳承,還有很大的付囑傳承。另外,所有的菩薩,通通都來聽聞、來護持。
接下來講「開經偈」。每本經裡面都有這個偈的。簡單幾句話,就是講:「那麼深的法,你們很難碰到的。那麼今天你們看到了,就趕快去讀啊!誦啊!去了解它的意義。」
現在開始進入經文:
第一句「如是我聞」:就如同我,親自在那個法會之中所聽到的。這一句,幾乎每一本佛經裡面開頭第一句話都是「如是我聞」。
你們的年紀有些比師尊大,有些比師尊年輕。年紀大的,當然我不在的時候,我不敢保證你們還在。年紀比師尊年輕的,很好保證他們可能還在。最近,我一直在想:我在寫書當中,現在寫到八十本,這一本的書名叫做「佛王之王」。(這好像有一點抄襲的味道,人家書的名稱是萬王之王,你是佛王之王。)
不過,這一本書我寫得非常嚴謹。所謂嚴謹,就是沒有輕鬆的筆調,就是比較嚴肅的筆調。而且是比較深奧的筆調,把佛法當中最重要的口訣都寫在這一本書裡面。
我想呢,這一本書就是等於是我在寫作當中的一個句點。將來還是要寫,但是這是一個段落,就是一個很重要的一個點。再講得輕鬆一些,就是說這一本書寫好以後就可以「稍息」。我們軍中講稍息就是稍微休息一下,好像一種感覺,這個擔子抬呀抬、抬得那麼遠,在這裡可以放下來了,這邊可以休息了。我一想到可以休息,假如是休息長久一點的話,那麼才四十四歲就完蛋了。四十四歲好像壽命是短了一點。為了不使自己那麼快的早走,趕快寫出第八十一本。第八十一本書名叫做《真佛儀軌經》。就是一些真佛宗的規規矩矩,或是禮節的問答,通通把它放在這一本書裡面。不過,這一本書的出版,尚未定出日期。
八十本就是一個句點,就是一個休息,假如是很長的休息,那麼就是只有活四十四歲!不過,我覺得八十本書寫完了,就等於來這個人間的任務、重要的任務已經完成。所謂的完成,就是把這個重要的任務已經交代了,其它的責任就讓阿彌陀佛去負責好了。這個任務,就算告一個段落,其它的就可以比較輕鬆一點應付。
將來呢?有在這邊聽法的人,如果要寫一篇文章,你在開頭就可以寫「如是我聞」。這是很確實的,你們當場就在這邊聽,就是我當場就在那兒聽到師尊這樣講的,他現在人不在了嘛!但是大家當場都在那邊聽到了,大家對證起來都對,這個是「如是我聞」。
這一句話就是以前釋迦牟尼佛在說法時,祂的弟子結集祂的說法,討論祂講出來的話。每一本經開始都用這四個字,就表示說我當場是在那裡聽釋迦牟尼佛說法,就是如是我聞。
這四個字就代表我本人以前在西方極樂世界摩訶雙蓮池的時候,當場在那裡,我聽到大白蓮花童子,看見那個情形,自己本身親見而且親聞,所以我用這四個字:
「如是我聞」。
我覺得,人都是有因果的,而且有很多很多的生死。其實,生死就是指在那裡已經看不到你,在這裡看得到你。這裡不見了,又在那裡看到你。那裡看不見你,你又跑到別的地方去,生死就是這個樣子。我以前,在摩訶雙蓮池西方極樂世界的時候,祂們都可以看到我。但是我在那裡已經死了,現在活在這裡(我想一想我是幾歲到美國來)。我是在台灣活了卅七年,在台灣就死了。現在我在美國剛好七歲。但是呢?也許我明年又在美國死了,那可能又生在印尼啊!生在馬來西亞啊!生在新加坡啊!或者生在澳洲。
生死都是一回事,只不過你這裡生、那裡死;這裡死,那裡生。生死,把它看成這樣子,就非常輕鬆。所以你說有人在這邊死了,大家都哭得好淒慘,看不到這個人了。其實,他在那邊活得很高興。所以生死的事,要做如是觀。
所謂「一時」,什麼叫做一時呢?「一時」包含了過去很遠很遠的那個時候。以前有一個老禪師叫「天龍禪師」,人家問他什麼事情,他就這樣子(註:師尊豎一根指頭)。其實,有時候人家問他事情,他答不出來,他就這樣子(註:師尊豎一根指頭)。那麼,這是代表什麼呢?就是—一—就是一切。那你問的問題一定在一切裡面了嘛!保證我回答的一定對。
有人問他說:「須彌山在哪裡?」他就這樣子。唉呀!真的像一支大山嘛!有人問他說:「世界在哪裡?」他也就是這樣子。他的意思是講,宇宙歸於一元,整個宇宙都是一元所造化。不是一元嗎?人家問他:「什麼是女的?女的怎麼講?」他也是這樣子,1。人家又問他:「男女怎麼分呢?」也是1。因為這個天上界合歸一統的時候,男女是沒有分別的。所以還是1。所以這個1啊!可以包含天地、包含山、包含水、包含人、包含一切的事務、包含原始、過去、現在、未來,整個通通都包含。所以這位老和尚,一碰到人家問他,比較困難的問題,當他答不出來的時候,就豎起一根手指頭。
後來有一個弟子學他,老禪師一舉1,那個弟子也是這樣子(註:豎起一根指頭)。老禪師火大了,就拿一把刀把他的手指頭砍下來。他說:「你的1在哪裡?」就變成這樣子(註:指頭彎回來,就變成「無」了)。
禪宗的禪,本身有時是不講的,但是它其中含有很大的變化和它的道理在其中。所以,你問我:「師尊的這個一時,是什麼時候啊?」一百年前、一千年前、一萬年前、一億年前,通通在裡面。保證是對的。一時,就是在那個時候,不管是哪一個時候,通通包含。
一時,就是有一個「大白蓮花童子,在西方極樂世界摩訶雙蓮池」。這個白色的蓮花,所謂白色就是所有的總色,等於是將所有顏色,集中起來。我記得有一個研究是這樣,好像有很多種顏色把它旋轉,就變成白色。那只有把其中的一個顏色拿掉,再旋轉就變成黑色,不管怎麼樣子旋轉,總之,白色就是最圓滿的顏色,那其它的顏色都是次要的。
所以,毘盧遮那佛祂本身的法界最勝宮、大日如來也是白色的。摩訶雙蓮池的主尊當然也是白色的。因為,所有的佛菩薩要成佛菩薩以前,都要修白色的白善法,也就是要修清淨法,清淨到最極點,就是白色。剛才,鄭上師講的「修行要空、要無」。你說,空跟無是什麼顏色呢?空跟無就是「白色」。假如摻雜別種顏色,那就變成一種作用。唯有白色是最清淨的。
所以,大白蓮花童子,就是摩訶雙蓮池的主尊。在摩訶雙蓮池「坐於大白蓮花法座之上」。有一個弟子跟我說:「師尊,這坐於大白蓮花法座就好了,不要之上。」那弟子說:「人家坐蓮花都是坐在上面,沒有坐在蓮花中間、之中,也沒有之下、之旁、之左、之右,不可能的事情,所以這兩個字是廢話。」那位弟子舉出一個例子,他說:「你可以講說坐於公共汽車之上嗎?之上好像坐在車頂上。」我跟那位弟子講:「不要跟師尊吹毛求疵,反正就是在蓮花法座之上。大家了解就好,你這樣子找麻煩,這本經怎麼寫?」
「蓮花的周圍一共有十七朵大的蓮花。」那位弟子也是很挑毛病的,他說:「這當中又有很多廢字出現。青色青光、黃色黃光、赤色赤光。紫色紫光,這些都是兩個字的廢字。」他講說:「師尊有沒有色盲?難道青色的會出紅光嗎?那黃色的會出綠光嗎?你這駕駛執照怎麼考的?」
其實,他也是找麻煩!我們不過是把它重複的講一下。當然就像青色的,這種青色的顏色,然後又放出青色的光。這樣子表示兩個層次,好像青色的蓮花放出青色的光,這樣子解釋就好了嘛!其實佛經裡面也有很多這種例子。
好像青色的蓮花童子拿著青蓮花,又放青色的光,又是整個光芒,周圍怎樣子都是青色的。有這樣的例子,我們後面的例子可以用到前面的例子,不算是有點矛盾,或是多出來、多餘的。
「各朵蓮花,微妙香潔。」這是講每一朵蓮花都是非常的香,香就是代表很純,那種氣味很好、很潔淨。總之,微妙兩個字,在佛經裡面是經常用到的。也就是說什麼通通好,好到極點。以前有一個弟子姓沈,是臺中人,名叫妙娟。她的名字有一個妙字在裡面。她最初對這個妙字印象不好,她說:「我這人就是人嘛!有什麼好、什麼妙?妙過來、妙過去。」大家都對她講:「妙,妳哪一點妙嘛?一點都不妙,所以很多人就說你這名字是莫名其妙。」自從她皈依師尊以後,看了很多佛經。她說:「哎呀!佛經裡面用的都是妙,而且加州還有妙印堂。」她現在回頭一想,太妙了!這個名字,她本來要改名的,現在不改了。
「白蓮花童子。默運神通。」默運神通這個「默」字用得很妙,用得很好。因為神通本來就是無形的,就是一種變化,一種自然。天上的雲有神通它就變成水,水有神通就變成冰,冰有神通又化為水,水有神通又化為氣。變來變去都是自然的神通。有神通的人,他就可以把那些東西拿來變化,他可以叫雲變成雨、雨結成冰、冰又變成氣。這樣變來變去,就是在那邊自然的運轉,在那邊默運神通。
其實,很多的主婦、太太在家裡做菜都是默運神通。她們到超級市場、到Saveway去買一條臭魚,最便宜,那腥味很重,聞起來都要吐的那種魚。回來以後,她就加點醬油、加酢、加糖、加蔥,蔥爆臭魚。那麼這條臭魚經過默運神通一下變成香魚。我們每一個人,把這些香的東西吃進去,又默運神通一下,就又變成臭的,又回到原來的味道。
在美國,他們種菜,當然比較少用原始的肥料。不過他們那些肥料也是用原始肥料製造的,像尿酸、蛋白等等,也是從原始肥料抽出來的。這個宇宙就是一個「神通的循環」。你把最臭的澆到植物上,吸收、長大或拿去養魚、養豬(比如拿餿水去餵豬)。用一些最髒的東西去養出最香的東西,又變成最臭的東西。臭的東西又養香的、香的又養臭的,這樣子養來養去。假如大家了解這個道理,就可以了解到「宇宙的道理就是一種循環」。
這是自然界的默運神通。假如我們每一個人修行到了「合乎自然」的那種狀況,你自己可以默運神通去符合自然,甚至於把自然轉變,這就是神通。
大家知道,X光可以照射人體,透視你的內臟情形。你把你的眼睛修練成X光,你就得了天眼通了。現在像奧林匹克世運會,他們在那邊體育表演、競賽等等、假如你有千里眼,你的眼睛一看虛空的人造衛星,那個人造衛星剛好吸收了奧運會的一切情形。你的眼睛看人造衛星,那一切情形反射過來到你眼內,你就是千里眼神通。
我們現在跟台灣、新加坡、印尼通電話,電話一拿起來就可以撥通。假如你把你的耳朵訓練成一條線一樣,這一條線直接通到那一個朋友的口中,你就聽到他在說什麼,那你就得了天耳通。像這樣子的方法,並不是不可能。完全在「微妙」兩個字,完全在「默運」兩個字。
什麼叫「默運」呢?完全靜下來,一直靜到最靜最靜的最底下去。什麼叫做「運」呢?你把你運用到最底下去的時候,把它化成「沒有」。把自己化成沒有,符合了「所有的力量都有你」的時候,就變成最大的神通。
「將一個摩訶雙蓮池。變化得格外金光燦爛。」
你們這本書的版本是新加坡圓證堂印的吧?有一個字,變化「得」。有印成變化「得」、有印成變化「的」,應該是「得」比較好一點。新加坡圓證堂這一本印的是對的。
將來你們可以學一個神通,就像有一朵含苞待放的花在你面前,閉合未開。你給它默運神通一下,它就「嘩」開了!假如能夠這樣的話,就可以把這個世界變化得格外漂亮、格外燦爛。我們這裡秋天和冬天比較冷一點,花都凋零,有大神通的人,他可以改變整個天氣,把它全部變成春天。本來地球、太陽在一個角度時就是秋天,光跟熱稍微微弱一點,在秋天、冬天的時候,你一默運神通。就把整個地球往這邊移一點,哇!就變成春天了,熱得你流汗。
其實,我們只要把地球稍微往這邊推一點點,它的整個氣候通通都變了。以前剛來美國時,住在Ballald那邊,我非常高興。我說:「哎呀!在西雅圖真好,從年頭到年尾,從來沒流過一次汗」。搬到Redmond的時候,才發覺夏天好像長了一點,而且好像太陽也大了一點,也熱了一點,居然夏天也流汗。有人講:「華盛頓州可能造了整個原子爐?」這個原子爐它會吐出一種很厲害的氣。四個原子爐一起吐氣,剛好就把地球推動一點點,這就是原子爐默運神通,把西雅圖夏天延長一點點,而且又熱了一些。對我這個怕熱的人來講,是個不好的消息。
默運神通之後,就變成「所有的香花怒放」。
剛才我講過,就這樣一比,所有的花全部都開,下次要教大家這種神通。他笑得最開心,因為他在賣花。你要學的神通是要叫那些花通通不凋零。花不凋也不好,因為花不凋大家只要買一次。買你一次花以後,就可以用一年,那你這個花不用賣了。我看,你不要學這種神通了!
Exegesis (4)
Make a Maha Double Lotus Pond. The change was extremely golden. All the fragrant flowers are in full bloom. Ruicao releases fragrance. White crane. Peacock. parrot. Relics. Kalingpinka. Birds of common destiny. Homogenize golden color. Out and Ya Tianyin. Golden light in the sky. There is pure and wonderful heavenly sound coming from the void. The fragrance of the worlds is fragrant. The Golden Pavilion in the sky. Full of brilliance. Apply golden lotus all over. Smallpox dispersed in the void.
"A Maha Double Lotus Pond was transformed into an extremely golden light. All the fragrant flowers were in full bloom. The auspicious grasses released their fragrance." In other words, all the flowers bloomed in an instant, and all the grasses released a very pleasant smell. fragrance.
"White cranes. Peacocks. Parrots. Relics. Kalingbinga. Birds of common fate. The golden color is homogenized. Harmony and heavenly sound come out." These birds will all turn into gold. Why do they turn into gold? Because gold is the most expensive! "Put out the harmonious and elegant sound." It means to emit the most peaceful, elegant and beautiful sound. Master once said: "In the Western Paradise, there is a sound called Heya Tianyin. This sound is very powerful."
Let’s think about it: many people in this world will go to the Western Paradise in the future. Some of them will be reborn with karma, that is, they still have some karma, but they have already been able to be reborn in the Western Paradise. Then do these people still want to steal something and have some desires? Also, when they see something beautiful, they like it! Then aren’t the goddesses in the Western Paradise very dangerous?
Actually, don’t be afraid! Because Heya Tianyin is here, when you think in your heart: Hey! Gemstones are so precious, steal some! Your heart only moves with desire. When this harmonious and elegant sound reaches your inner being, you will no longer have the thought of stealing. You will become very holy in your heart. "I am a saint, how can I go and get this thing?" When your desires are burning like fire, this Harmony Tianyin is like cold water pouring on your head. It is the most beautiful, pure, cold, and transparent ice that can completely wash away all the dirty thoughts in your heart.
Some people are still troubled when they arrive in the Western Paradise. He said: "I still have a wife, children, money, and some unresolved worries in this world." But he was born in the West and he could not go back. As soon as I hear this harmonious Tianyin, all these thoughts will be eliminated. This Harmony and Tianyin is a very wonderful spiritual realm. Some people are murderous (that is to say, they have that kind of temperament... and when they get anxious, they sometimes want to kill people). This murderous person arrived in the Western Paradise. As soon as he heard Heya Tianyin, he couldn't kill. Therefore, the heart of stealing, the heart of lust, and even the heart of murder were all changed by Heya Tianyin. Therefore, Heya Tianyin has such a subtle, fragrant and holy effect.
I once said that there is sorrow in the world. Why is the Western Paradise called "Ultimate Bliss"? Because it is always so happy. Because as long as you listen to this gentle heavenly sound and it flows through your heart, all your worries will disappear. All the cells in your body are dancing, dancing so lightly. There is no way to stop this dance. So, this is the reason for the Paradise!
Someone asked: "Master has spoken so well. Which piece of music makes you feel comfortable listening to it. However, if you always play the same piece, you will get bored after listening to it for a long time." Don't worry! There are tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of harmonious and elegant sounds in the Western Paradise. It is guaranteed that you will never be able to listen to them all and your lifespan will be endless.
"The golden light in the sky. There is pure and wonderful heavenly sound coming from the void. The fragrance of all worlds is fragrant. The golden pavilion in the sky. The whole life is radiant. The golden lotus is spread all over. The sky is scattered in the sky." This section talks about the radiation in the entire Maha Twin Lotus Pond. The most subtle and beautiful light of gold. There are very quiet sounds of heaven and subtle sounds of heaven coming down from the void.
To explain this music, we can only use the words "pure" and "subtle" to explain it. In fact, this kind of music is equivalent to heavenly music, which cannot be heard in the human world.
Like this time when Master went to California, he secretly went out at night (only once). Because they said: "We have something here in California that Seattle doesn't have." They said there is such a big world there! What the first! What a rose! Because we have a big heart, we go to the big world to see it. The music was really loud there and the dance floor was almost half the size of our temple. I heard that there are thirty dancing ladies there, but there is no Jingmiao Tianyin there. When I went there, I went with my wife. I just watched and didn’t dance; but when I heard music like this, it was the same as the Mandarin songs in Taiwan before. Mandarin songs are rarely heard in the United States, and all the dance halls there are Mandarin songs are played, and there are very few tango dances. There is probably no tango in the United States. When I heard that kind of music, although I didn't go out to dance, I still kept tapping my feet. Even if it is such vulgar music, most people will feel relaxed and their feet will beat when they hear it. People who like to dance will go out and dance, very happy and relaxed.
It can be seen that this "Pure Heavenly Sound" is hundreds of millions of times better than that one. How can all the cells of the people there not dance? My metaphor is to talk about the sacredness of music itself. Good music can indeed cleanse people's hearts.
"The fragrance of all the worlds is fragrant." This sentence means that since the flowers are blooming and the grass is fragrant, everything is filled with this fragrance. One day, Master went to a restaurant for dinner. That night, because I was happy for the moment, I sprinkled on a little "cologne". I found that "cologne" scent to be a bit like sandalwood. The scent of sandalwood is not like the wild scent that ordinary girls wear when they go out. When I came out, there happened to be a lady coming out behind me. She said, "Oh! Master's whole body is emitting fragrance!" She said, "A Bodhisattva is coming with us!" I didn't dare to say it, so I said, "It seems there is, right?" However, as a practitioner, he himself sometimes , the body does have a fragrance.
Master has said that everyone has a taste, and everyone has a different taste. Because Master has seen tens of thousands of people, or more than hundreds of billions of people. When he asked about something, he came to me and as soon as he sat down, I could smell his scent. Some people took longer to ask because he smelled better. For some people, as soon as they come in and sit down, the master will immediately stand up. I tell you the truth, I closed my breath to ask questions, and I didn’t breathe at all.
People do have taste. If he practices well, his body will naturally release fragrance. I often have bad thoughts, don’t practice cultivation, the smell of money is too strong, and I often swim in smelly ditches, so the smell is very bad. Some people often gamble with winning and losing in their minds. As soon as he sat down, the smell of winning, losing, and money blew over him. There are a lot of people who smell like this and it's not good. If he eats next to me, should I pay attention to whether his saliva drips? How terrible!
So the fragrance of the Mohe Twin Lotus Pond is so fragrant that it cannot be smelled in the human world. So people there are naturally very relaxed and like the Pure Land, like to listen to the music, and like to smell the fragrance.
The house there is the "Golden Pavilion". It is made of gold and emits a lot of "golden light". All the "castles in the air" are carved with many "golden lotus flowers" and painted with many golden lotus flowers. Even "in the void", there are many beautiful flowers, all falling down.
Someone asked Master: "If these flowers fall and hit your head, won't they cause a bloody head?" I tell everyone: "Don't worry! When these golden flowers fall from the void, they will fall on you. Just pass through your body. When these flowers pass through your body, they can make the cells of your body as happy as a massage."
Think about it: these beautiful flowers fall, fall on your head, pass through your body, through the tissues of your body, as if there is a clever hand massaging you. When your body is massaged like this, you will know how comfortable it feels. And every flower touches you differently. It's not like when we go for a massage, it's always the same thing. That feeling is heavenly, the gentlest, and the most comfortable.
Exegesis (5)
At that time. Maha Double Lotus Pond. Big shock. Countless heavens feel it. Buddhas, bodhisattvas, voice-hearers all feel it. All to the Maha Twin Lotus Pond. All the thirty-three gods rushed to the Maha Twin Lotus Pond. Gather all the twenty-eight heavenly beings. Emperor Shi. Lord Brahma. Eight tribes and four congregations. Spread the teachings.
The first word is "尔时". What does "尔时" mean? It is not this time, nor is it the past time, nor is it that time. In short, there is a time. There are many 尔时 in it, which means that there is no time. Anyway, any time is fine!
In this big double lotus pond, in that place, in that Buddhist country, the whole earth was shaking. Generally speaking, there are few shocks in Buddhist countries. It was shaking all the time, but even then, it all collapsed. However, in the Buddhist scriptures, there are mentions of the so-called "six major vibrations". At this time, it is all very meaningful. As long as the earth shakes, or how it shakes, it is very meaningful.
There are several famous six-element vibrations. When Sakyamuni Buddha was born, there were six-element vibrations. When Sakyamuni Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, there were six-element vibrations. In addition, when Sakyamuni Buddha passed away, there were six-element vibrations when he was about to return. Sometimes when Sakyamuni Buddha was preaching the Dharma, when he talked about the most important Dharma, there were six-element vibrations. When Sakyamuni Buddha was ordained and became a monk, there were six-element vibrations.
Now, we hope not to be shocked. Now, California and San Francisco are all afraid of shock. Master does not dare to teach the most important Dharma now, because he has taught the highest and supreme Dharma. If there is a six major shocks, we will be in misery!
The Maha Twin Lotus Pond has six major vibrations. The so-called "six major vibrations" are not just earth motions like we have. It includes heaven motions, wind motions, left and right motions, up and down motions, and front and back motions. There are six kinds of major vibrations in total. Including the stars in the sky and the moon, everything moved. That kind of rumbling sound is called six major vibrations.
This kind of vibration means that the entire sky can feel the six major vibrations. The entire Maha Twin Lotus Pond was also shaken by six major vibrations, and they all felt it. Including Buddhist kingdoms, Bodhisattvas, and Sravakas, all of them can sense it. Because they felt the six major vibrations like this, they knew that something important was about to happen, something important was about to appear, so they all went to the Maha Twin Lotus Pond.
"The thirty-three gods all rushed to the Maha Twin Lotus Pond." These thirty-three days are the heaven of desire realm. The heaven of the Desire Realm is on the top of Mount Sumeru, and the middle heaven is called the Trayasa Heaven, which is the Emperor Shakti Heaven. The Emperor Shakti Heaven is in the center, surrounded by a total of thirty-two heavens. That is, there are eight heavens in one aspect, so 4832, plus the Emperor Shakti in the middle, is thirty-three. It's flat. What about above? There are also twenty-eight heavenly beings.
What is twenty-eight days? That is, the Three Realms of Heaven include the Desire Realm, the Color Realm, and the Formless Realm. The total range of these three heavens, arranged up and down, has a total of twenty-eight levels, which is the Twenty-Eight Heavens. Many of them are the masters of this heaven. Emperor Sakyamuni and King Brahma are all masters, such as King Brahma, King Luoji Brahma, and Emperor Sakyamuni. These are the gods of these heavens.
What are eight parts? The so-called Babu refers to the TV series we used to watch (Dragon Babu), which is the Tianlong Babu. , or dragon, it is called Tianlong Babu.
What are the four masses? The four groups are men with bald heads, women with bald heads, men with hair, and women with hair. Men are called bhikkhus and women are called bhikshunis; male practitioners are called upasakas and women are called upasikas, which are lay practitioners who practice Buddhism. This adds up to four types of people, which are called the Four Publics.
Master wanted to grow his hair long in winter so as not to eat ice cream when it snowed. However, it is not good to grow hair now because of the gray hair, so I am considering it.
This gathering of Sakyamuni, King Brahma, the Eight Tribes, the Four Sects, all the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas has come together. What should they do? It is because of the need to preach the Dharma and to "preach the Dharma widely." There are many important things (important gatherings) in this Maha Twin Lotus Pond. Here, a lot of very important Dharma will be said! The Dharma suitable for modern times must be preached. So, just gather these heavenly beings. Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Sravakas must spread the very important Dharma widely.
Many gods, gods, and even Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will come. When Master went to New York and San Francisco to preach, there were blue Faluns in the sky, which were blue lights that turned in a circle. The blue Falun light is the "turning Falun light".
What is the reason for this? This is where the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and heavenly beings in the sky know that the Dharma is being preached, and they also come down to listen to the Dharma. Because they descended to listen to the Dharma, they could not sit with us. They just sat in the void and listened to the Dharma. It's like they sit on the second floor and we sit on the first floor. When they were sitting there, they formed a circle and a halo, and they sat in the halo and listened to the Dharma.
Therefore, when the Dharma is being taught, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and heavenly beings often descend to listen to the Dharma.

Explanation of the Scriptures (VII)
The red lotus boy appears with the light of his wish. The purple lotus boy showed his solemn light. The blue lotus boy shows the light of fruitfulness.
The yellow lotus boy appears blessed with light. The orange lotus boy shows his innocence.
Last time we talked about the subduing light, this time we talked about "The red lotus boy appears with the light of his vows." Master has said before that every good person, every good person (that is, a person with a good heart), a person who does good deeds, and a person who makes great vows A person who is a generous person, a person who completely contributes his time, money, and actions to all sentient beings, will emit a red "acting wish light" from the top of his head.
Master often thinks that there is a saying in the Bible: "Giving is more blessed than receiving." Why? This is indeed the case. I noticed that Master rarely did good deeds in the past, but recently he has done a little more good deeds than before. I find that when we give things to others, give alms, or do good deeds, we feel very happy and peaceful in our hearts. Especially, if you take out the things you like the most, the things you think are the most precious, and the things you are least willing to give to others, and give them to others, that happiness is a higher level of happiness.
We need to break the concept of "this is mine" and "this is yours". If you want to break this concept, you must "act" and "wish". This is the coordination between your actions and your wishes, and then you can break the concept of "this is mine" and "this is yours".
Think about it: in the future, if you think, "What's mine belongs to all living beings," a red light of vows will appear above your head. If you still think every day: What's mine is mine, what's yours is mine, and what's everyone's is mine, then there will be a black light on your head. If you want to become a Buddha, a Bodhisattva, or practice cultivation, you must not have the word "mine."
So, in fact, nothing in this world belongs to you. So when you can think of "nothing in this world belongs to you", a red light of action and aspiration will appear above your head. Your mind will expand, as vast as the heaven and earth, and you will have infinite kindness to help others. Such a person will be a red lotus boy in the future.
"The purple lotus boy shows the light of dignity." Duan means upright, Yan means solemn, and this color is purple. The light of dignity and solemnity also appears in a person's own behavior. This light also comes from the heart. The so-called "end" means not inverting, and not inverting means not moving. We have learned that our minds do not have delusions or perversions, but our behavior is very upright. "Strict" means there are no loopholes. This light shows a patch of purple, which means there are no flaws and no loopholes.
"The blue lotus boy shows the light of fruitfulness." Why does the blue lotus boy show the light of fruitfulness? "Blue" itself helps others and achieves very good results. Just like a fruit, it blooms, then bears fruit, and then the perfect fruits that appear from the fruit are a kind of fruit! So, where does this fruit come from? Fruit is a kind of fruit formed by virtue, by perfect virtue. Just like a lotus, it blooms very beautifully, the light it emits is blue, and it is very round, a round fruit.
"The yellow lotus boy shows the light of blessing and success." Master once said, why does the yellow lotus boy appear as the light of blessing and success? And why does yellow mean good fortune? Because yellow is close to gold! Which color is the most expensive in the world? Gold is the most expensive color. Although diamonds are also very expensive, diamonds are not necessarily recognized by everyone. At present, prices can be compared and can truly be used as a standard of value. The weight of gold is also used as a base price and as a price. Diamonds cannot be used as the standard.
Why is the yellow light called the Blessings Light? You should know that "blessings" come from "virtue"; "blessings" also come from "wisdom". We who practice cultivation should also cultivate blessings. This is called "cultivating both blessings and wisdom". If one only has blessings but no wisdom, or cultivates blessings but not wisdom, one will become worldly. If one only cultivates wisdom but not blessings, one can only save oneself, but cannot help others or save sentient beings. Therefore, blessings and wisdom must be cultivated together. The Yellow Lotus Flower Boy showed the Blessings Light, which means that he has cultivated all the blessings.
"The orange lotus boy shows the light of innocence." What is "childhood"? What just passed by was all innocence (note: there was a group of children walking around). This innocence is about children, that is, they are very pure, they only have innocent hearts, they have no likes and dislikes, no good or evil, and they cannot do bad things. They also don’t think about how to do bad things at all. This is "child" , is the innocent heart. They are not afraid of anything. There are so many of us sitting there, and many masters are sitting in front! They just walked over without caring about 37 or 21. They also don’t know how to say that we children should speak in a lower voice, otherwise it will affect the adults’ sermons. They don't care about this. The main reason is that they have the character "child"! You want to stop the birds in the tree from singing. How is this possible?
The so-called "truth" means that everything they do is very real, and they will not be hypocritical. They laugh when they are happy, and cry when they are beaten. If I like you, I'll kiss you. If I don't like you, I'll give you hygiene pills (roll my eyes). Because they don’t understand hypocrisy, you know? I find that as adults, the older we get, the more hypocritical we become. Although he is obviously not happy, he will say to you: "Thank you for your advice." Although he obviously hates you, he will say: "I've seen you for a long time! I've seen you for a long time!" Although he obviously doesn't welcome you, he still says: "Come again! Please come when you have time." Let’s play!” This is the ugly adult. Practitioners should restore their "childlike innocence" and not be "hypocritical".
The light shown by the Orange Lotus Boy is the completely real "childlike light" of the innocent heart. This light is unpolluted. We are all polluted. So, look at these lights: there is the light of great wisdom, there is the light that penetrates the Dharma Realm, there is the light of thousands of treasures, there is the light of subduing evil spirits, there is the red light of fulfilling vows, there is the light of dignity and solemnity, there is the light of The light of the fruit of virtue is the light of complete blessings, the light of innocence that is as real as a child. Think about it, everyone, there are so many lights exchanging, reflecting each other, and shining on each other in the Maha Twin Lotus Pond. Think about it, how bright and wonderful that world is!
Therefore, in the future, the pure land of Maha Twin Lotus Pond will cause a sensation all over the world, and the whole earth will shake. Recently, this "True Buddhist Sutra" has caused a stir in countries all over the world, including all Buddhists and followers of all religions, who are setting off firecrackers to celebrate. This firecracker is a firecracker with opinions!
釋經(八)
諸天見之。大感驚異。於是帝釋從座而起。稽首向前對白蓮花童子而說。稀有聖尊。摩訶雙蓮池。以何因緣。現此大光華。
大白蓮花童子說。當為汝等細說。帝釋說。聖尊威權最尊。
惟願聖尊為眾宣說。一切人天咸知皈向。
爾時。大白蓮花童子告帝釋及諸大眾說。善哉善哉。吾今為汝及末世眾生。有緣者於當來之世。咸共知之真實佛法息災賜福之理。
「諸天見之。大感驚異。於是帝釋從座而起。稽首向前。對白蓮花童子而說。稀有聖尊。摩訶雙蓮池。以何因 緣。現此大光華。大白蓮花童子說。當為汝等細說。帝釋說。聖尊威權最尊。惟願聖尊為眾宣說。一切人天咸知皈向。」
這個諸天,祂是代表了二十八天所有天上界的天神,跟三十三天所有天上界的神仙。祂們都看到很多的光色顯現出來。祂們看到這個光色在整個虛空之中,甚至於十法界,包括了四聖界、六道眾生、三惡道、全部都充滿了這麼多的光,非常感到驚奇的。因為像整個十法界全部都充滿了這樣多色的光的現象,並不是常有的事。就在那個時候,這個帝釋(所謂帝釋就是釋提桓因,也就是三十三天的天主。),祂從祂自己本身的座位就站了起來。
「稽首」的意思就是合掌,合掌恭敬就是稽首。「稽首向前。對白蓮花童子而說。」祂等於是跟大白蓮花童子主尊,祂向祂問事情。
「稀有聖尊。摩訶雙蓮池。以何因緣。現此大光華。」就是說,這個大光明的現象,非常的難得,非常的稀有,這個摩訶雙蓮池,這個聖界,到底是什麼原因?是哪一種因緣,才會出現這樣子大的光華呢?
大白蓮花童子告訴釋提桓因(帝釋),跟所有天界的天神,就講說:「因為你問了,所以我要為你好好的解釋一下,是什麼原因現此大光華。」
「帝釋說。聖尊威權最尊。惟願聖尊為眾宣說。一切人天咸知皈向。」這裡的解釋是,什麼叫做威權最尊呢?
這個威呀!在我們來講,就是指很威風啦,威風八面。我們以前看布袋戲時,有一尊功夫很高的一出來,哇!很多的彩光都出現了,音樂也奏得最高調的時候,他才跳出來。這個「威」呀!也就等於是一個很威嚴的、非常威嚴的、很至高無上的。像我們現在,例如去看太陽,有時候當太陽很大時,你沒有辦法直接用你的眼睛去看它。因為它本身的光度是非常威嚴的,而且光明萬丈的。
那麼,這個「權」呢?就代表了權利、權勢,跟祂掌握本身的力量,也就是祂本身的這個Power,祂的法力。
帝釋天王(玉皇大帝)說:「這又是威嚴,又是權利最尊,就是最高的,無上的、至上的、最尊貴的。」
帝釋天主祂講:「這個大白蓮花童子是威權最尊的。」祂可能是看到大白蓮花童子的最上面那一尊大日如來。
大日如來當然是威權最尊嘛!
我們曉得,蓮花童子的本身呢,就是佛眼佛母祂本身所變化,佛眼佛母的雙眼變化成為摩訶雙蓮池,那麼摩訶雙蓮池的光明,化身為蓮花童子。那麼,佛眼佛母呢?又是從大日如來那裡變化出來的。那就是等於蓮花童子,就是大日如來本身的光明化身。這一句就等於是解釋了蓮花童子祂本身的淵源,就是從大日如來那邊來的。
今天晚上我們同修的時候是準提佛母法,準提佛母祂的淵源從那裡來呢?其實,準提佛母祂也是從大日如來的最勝法界宮裡面走出來的。所以,準提佛母跟蓮花童子的淵源是同一個淵源。
準提佛母是蓮花童子的姊姊。所以,祂們也是像姊弟之間一樣感情非常好。所以準提佛母是我們八大本尊之一,其來有自。
準提佛母,祂在中密跟台密(天台山的密宗叫做台密,中密就是中國的密宗),還有東密(就是日本的密宗),都是以準提佛母當為主尊的佛母。那麼在西藏的密宗呢?準提佛母就很少聽到。西藏的密宗裡面,有很多西藏活佛他不知道有準提佛母。所以,準提佛母祂對於我們中國的密宗、天台的密宗、日本的密宗,就是對於中土,祂是特別照顧的。祂對西藏人大概比較不照顧。
因為,蓮花童子祂本身是從大日如來宮裡面出來的。所以,祂曉得,準提佛母應該弘揚於全世界。所以我們這個宗派有八大本尊,準提佛母就是我們其中的一尊。
準提佛母,祂的外號叫做「最勝金剛」跟「如意金剛」。主要的原因呢,也就是祂本身也是從大日如來宮出來的。
帝釋祂說完了聖尊威權最尊以後呢,祂就要求聖尊為目前所有的天眾、天神、佛、菩薩宣說,宣說的意思就是公開說明,使所有一切的人跟天都知道這個因緣,知道皈向。
「爾時。大白蓮花童子告帝釋及諸大眾說。善哉善哉。吾今為汝及末世眾生。有緣者於當來之世。咸共知之真實佛法息災賜福之理。」
也就是在那個時候,大白蓮花童子祂告訴帝釋天主和所有在坐的佛、菩薩、所有的天眾,當時就講。所謂「善哉善哉」呢?這就是以前很多老和尚口頭禪。以前,師尊看武俠小說,經常看到老和尚拿著方便鏟,快要開殺戒的時候就講:「善哉!善哉!讓老衲送你們上西天!」這個當然講這樣子和尚開殺戒是不太好的;不過,它那文句是用得很好!什麼叫做善哉、善哉呢?就是很好哇!很好。他們出家人殺人,還是送人上西天,就好像涵意很深。
事實上,我覺得好像在武俠小說裡的這些出家人,或者這些道長,其實,一般來講都是故意寫出來的只是出家人和道長他們的身份比較特殊一點,大部分的出家人和道長都是修行的。只有少部分的出家人跟道長投身於江湖上的恩怨。武俠小說裡面寫的東西,當然虛構的比較多。在這裡,講善哉、善哉就是指很好、很好,不是要送上西天的。
我今天,就是為帝釋天主跟所有在娑婆世界未來的一切眾生。「末世」就是於未來世的意思。末來世的所有眾生。只要是有緣分的,在當來之世,什麼叫「當來之世」呢?當來之世,就是從現在開始說法,講這一本經以後的所有的世,就是當來之世。也就是現在及未來的世界,還有很多世、很多世,就是現在跟未來。現在以後的,就是叫做當來之世。
所以這裡呢,有這個道理在裡面。像我們以前在基督教會裡面查聖經,就是擔任查經班的老師。在聖經裡面,有一句話,就是要我們有「信」。好像基督教宣傳的時候,信的人可以上天堂,不信的人下地獄。那這當中,像耶穌基督祂降生在這個娑婆世界,降生在人間。現在是一九八八年,也就是在一九八八年前祂降生在這個娑婆世界,降生人間傳上帝的道理,傳神的道理。
我在研究這個道理的時候,我就舉手問牧師。我說:「信耶穌的才上天堂,不信的要下地獄。那麼,我們中國有五千年歷史,請問:在我們中國兩千年以前的三千年內的人,唐、虞、夏、商、周、秦、漢、三國、魏晉、南北朝;我們歷代這樣子下來的這些人,還沒有接觸到利馬竇,還不知道耶穌基督在哪裡,那這些人怎麼辦?」
那個牧師的面孔一下子白一下子紅。他就指著我的鼻子說:「你這個人是最刁難的,專門找麻煩。」但是,我始終不瞭解,我們中國有五千年歷史,那些三千年當中的人怎麼辦?
所以呢,在我們這一本經裡面,好得很!過去的,沒有看到這一本經的,那是沒有緣。我們有緣分的,就是以當來之世的(就是現在的,和未來世的),都跟我們這一本經,看到的,他就「有緣於當來之世」。
以前我在研究十誡第一條。耶和華給摩西的十誡第一條:除我之外,不能有別的神。上帝和摩西講:「你們除了信我之外,你們再不能信別的神啦!」祂這一句話裡就有語病。當時我就舉手跟牧師講:「這個表示除了上帝之外,還有別的神。」按照聖經的意思,它就是這樣子講,除了上帝之外,其他的,都是魔鬼,都不算是神的。但是祂錯了,祂應該說:「除我之外,都是魔鬼。」
當時呢,我就這樣跟牧師講:「除我之外,不能有別的神,表示在虛空之中,還有別的神。」其實,上帝這樣講也是對的,因為祂假如承認有很多別的神;大家都去信別的神,祂自己就會比較灰心。
這個,我們了解上帝的心情,上帝是希望大家都能跟著祂走,一樣可以上昇到天界。祂可以引導這些人在祂的天界裡面享福。祂不希望你到別的天,因為我們這個天的生意比較好一點,別的天生意差一點我們不管,是這樣子的。
其實,據師尊所知道的,佛教的帝釋天,就是基督教的上帝,也就是天主教的天主,也就是回教的阿拉。我以前研究這個帝釋,也花了很長久的時間,這個帝釋呢?祂的個性是這樣子的:祂的人很好,祂本身是很好,祂管理了三十三天,所有的天眾都是祂管的,祂的範圍管得很廣,而且祂是一個天主的身份,祂希望所有人間的人都能夠信仰祂。
祂雖然很好,但是有兩個小缺點:第一是稍為比較驕傲一點,第二是娶的太太稍微多一點。我這樣子講,這個帝釋天大概不會生氣,因為帝釋天祂本身的威能也是很尊貴的,整個人間都是在祂的掌管之下。祂可以說是三界裡面,欲界的天主。同時,祂也是古佛來轉世。祂唯一的、唯一的……這個很難講!祂唯一的敵人就是祂的岳父。因為祂的岳父也是想得到三十三天主的地位。天界能夠搞得這樣子烏煙瘴氣,是祂跟祂岳父搞出來的。
哦!我自己都數不清楚了。
師尊為什麼講這個呢?這個帝釋雖然那麼偉大,基督教的耶和華雖然很偉大,天主、耶和華、上帝都很偉大,但是,祂們有問題還是要問蓮花童子。所以,蓮花童子現在要告訴祂們,讓大家知道,什麼是「真實佛法」,什麼是「息災賜福之理」。真實的佛法並不是表面上的崇拜,當然聖經也是很好的,因為它裡面都是講要行善、要怎樣做人、怎樣做好事、要講道理。
聖經所講的,都是很好的道理,但是呢,聖經裡面的道理還是外在的。我們到教堂,就是聽牧師講道,然後我們禱告,向天禱告。然後呢?我們就是唸祈禱文、唱詩、贊美上帝。然後,我們就是有時候聖誕節去,他就發糖果給我們。這個是表面的。
但是,在我們的佛法裡面也有類似的。像我們懺悔時唸祈禱文、唱讚、唸佛、誦經、持咒,這個與基督教裡面的儀式是相同的。以前我們在基督教唸祈禱文,我是用台語唸的,我唸一段給你們聽:「我們在天上的父、阿爸上帝,我們在這裡!」像這樣子的祈禱文叫做表面上,也就是形式上的禮拜。
但是真實佛法呢,是向你自己內心去探討的,往你自己的內心去探討,去瞭解你自己的內心,把你真正的心,能夠提煉出來真實的佛性,把你的人性變成佛性。這樣子的修行,才是真實的佛法。
所以,真實的佛法,並不是表面的崇拜,也不是在那邊唸經、唸祈禱文,或者是做懺悔,不是的!完全是瞭解你自己的內心世界。這樣子的醒悟,才是真實的佛法。佛法不離自心,離開自心,就沒有法,也就是外道。
所以我們到禮拜堂,或者到廟裡面,你看有些人到了廟裡面就是點香拜拜,就是跟菩薩講話,講了很多話,都是發牢騷,這個人都不是真實佛法。
我以前講過,有一個老太婆,帶著一串香蕉,到了廟裡面跟菩薩講話;就是從晚上十點一直講到凌晨兩點。
這個廟裡面看廟的老和尚一看到她來,就知道今天晚上睡覺了,總之,一定要到天亮才能關廟門。
這個老和尚看到她來,就跟她說:「妳可不可以白天來呢?」她說:「我晚上才有空。」「妳可以長話短說嗎?」「我已經積了幾年的怨氣,現在要跟菩薩講話,你怎麼可以這樣沒有禮貌?」
老太婆跟佛、菩薩講話,她一開始,她就開始唸了:她的大兒子不孝啦!二兒子不乖啦!三兒子沒有給她錢啦!大媳婦怎樣子趕她出去啦!二媳婦看到她就給她白眼,三媳婦呢?故意把她喜歡吃的東西都吃掉。最好通通給他們跌倒、摔倒,讓他們摔斷腿。
我們曉得,這不是真實佛法,這是表面上的崇拜。目前,像我們在禮拜堂聽道,或者唱聖詩讚美,然後禱告。
這些事情,一般說來,都是在表面上做功夫的。能夠依照聖經或者佛經所講的方法,來做人、行善,這已經算很不錯了。但是,這個還不是最真實的。
最真實的佛法,在這一本「真佛經」裡面。這個真實的佛法,才能夠息災,才能夠賜福。息災、賜福,也就是改變你的命運,不但改變命運,還可以往生最高層的西方極樂世界摩訶雙蓮池。
很多人都希望改變命運,這個江湖上的術士,他就利用人們這種心理,說:我幫你改變命運,意思是說你拿什麼東西來,然後我就幫你改變命運,讓你的命運變好。
師尊認為這個是不能改變命運的。你們要改變命運,就要研究真實的佛法,由內心自己改。由自己的內心改,你才能夠真正改變命運。也就是說,你表面上的改變命運,是沒有用的。要完全改變命運,就是要把你真正根本的內在全部改了,你的命運才能改。這個就是「真實佛法息災賜福之理」。
釋經(九)
大白蓮花童子即說。諸佛菩薩救度眾生。有最勝世界。妙寶世界。圓珠世界,無憂世界。淨住世界。法意世界。滿月世界。妙喜世界。妙圓世界。華藏世界。真如世界。圓通世界。如今將有真佛世界。
於是佛菩薩聲聞緣覺及諸天眾聞聖尊開演真佛世界。知是過去現在未來之吉祥善逝大悲因果。是聖尊為眾生化身示現。各各歡喜得未曾有。稽首稱讚而說偈言。
今天晚上,剛好在做大供養的時候,我一直在想:好像沒有什麼東西可以供養諸佛、菩薩。我眼睛一閉,可能是看到很漂亮這些燈,那麼這些燈呢!就每一個燈來變化、變化出來一尊菩薩。我本來是想:看到這些燈以後,我就以這些燈來供養所有的佛、菩薩。沒想到,這些燈都變成一尊一尊的佛、一尊一尊的菩薩。這個燈是無盡的,所以,這個諸佛、菩薩,每一尊也是重重無盡。我心中想:怎麼可以把菩薩拿來供養菩薩呢?我在想好像不太對。怎麼拿菩薩去供養菩薩?現在好了,現在讀到這一段經文,就是拿菩薩去供養菩薩。
我們在密法當中,有一種法。就是把眾生(用米代表眾生),全部都奉獻給諸佛菩薩。這個就是表示我們修行人是用自己的心來度眾生,再把所度的眾生奉獻給佛、菩薩。其實呢,眾生就是未來佛。眾生,等於是外表上你是眾生,但是,你的內心裡面有一個佛性,所以眾生就是佛。佛教有一句話講得很好:「迷者眾生,悟者就是佛。」那眾生跟佛是相等的。
今天我看到很多的燈,嘿!燈沒有了,這已經奉獻出去了,當然沒有了。忽然間,這個燈都沒有了,都已經奉獻出去了。師尊用佛來供佛,也就是把眾生來供佛,是一樣的。所以,用佛來供佛,是至高無上的奉獻。那麼,用佛來供養佛,就成為佛的世界。
那這裡面呢,這一段經文裡面談的世界,並不是指這個娑婆世界,而是全部是指「佛的世界」。這裡面有幾個世界是以前,好幾世很多世以前,甚至於無量劫以前,師尊去過的。跟大家講,有些我沒有去過的,我不敢亂講。有去過的,今天講給大家聽。
最勝世界,是去過的,因為裡面有一個「勝」字嘛!跟我的名字一樣;它叫最勝世界,我當然要去了,因為我裡面有一個勝嘛!對不對?其實,最勝世界就是一個根本淵源的世界,就是大日如來的世界,也就是最勝宮世界。
雖然我的名字有一個勝字,我承認,我以前是比較好勝,以前寫文章也是比較少為兇一點。這個「路見不平,就拔刀相助。」好像有一點英雄好漢的行為。但是,現在呢?修了四無量心,修了寂靜法,想學菩薩,心就比較軟。師尊現在的世界,就是「最輸世界」。所以說,我這個「盧勝彥」三個字,應該改成「盧輸彥」。不是贏而是輸,不但是輸,而且是輸光光。
以前,師尊是去過最勝世界。因為最勝法界宮,就是大日如來的世界,在《幽靈湖之夜》裡面,師尊有提到這個最勝法界宮。
那麼,這第二個世界——「妙寶世界」,我也是去過的。有人講:「你去了妙寶世界,你帶了什麼寶物回來給我們看呢?」這個妙寶世界所講的並不是指那些寶物,並不是說把內心寶物帶回來,給大家看啦!妙寶並不是指寶物,而是法寶。「法寶」才是妙寶。這個世界是寶生佛的世界,所以叫「妙寶世界」。
再來,我們談談「圓珠世界」。大家到過我的密壇,看到應該圓圓的水晶球,大家就講:「那圓珠世界就是那個水晶球的世界。」也不是的!但是這個世界我沒有去過,實在是不知道它是什麼樣子,所以講不出來。以後去了,回來再告訴大家。
再來一個,「無憂世界」。無憂世界,講起來應該是彌勒菩薩的世界。這個,師尊去過的。師尊的那一頂紅冠呢,紅冠聖冕有二頂,一頂就是無形的紅冠,只有有法眼、慧眼、佛眼、天眼的人才看得到,肉眼看不到,肉眼看到的那一頂紅冠是鄭裕信上師買來給我的。鄭上師因為他看那一頂是比較便宜,其實,那一頂紅冠是所有的五佛冠裡面最粗糙的一頂,不過,那一頂五佛冠戴起來是最莊嚴、最好看的。但是也是最便宜、又是最粗糙的,老實講,那一頂五佛冠我還捨不得戴。一頂最寶貴的五佛冠是無形的,在彌勒菩薩那裡,它有時候在師尊這裡,有時候它又飛回去,到彌勒菩薩那裡。
再來,我們談「淨住世界」,這個沒去過。
「法意世界」,沒有去過,這個以後去了回來再說。
再來一個,「滿月世界」。去過了,農歷十五的時候,就是滿月,大家都可以看得到的。我們以前在晚上時做天文測量「月掩星觀測」,就是一種測量名稱。月掩星觀測,就是用等高儀,那個月亮照進儀器裡面,出現在水銀盤裡面,一個圓圓的,那就是月掩星觀測。我們看得很清楚(那只是一個名稱,沒有辦法翻譯吧!)。這個世界呢,就是藥師琉璃光如來、藥師佛的世界。當然去過了,八大本尊之一嘛!
月亮,有時候是白色,有時候是琉璃色,有時候是藍色。你們看過藍色的月亮嗎?我們以前有一首歌就叫「月兒像檸檬」,那檸檬就是藍色的了。
藥師琉璃光王佛的世界,因為琉璃色特別多,而且是滿月,像月亮一樣,很圓滿的。表示那裡呢,一切都是非常的清淨,非常圓滿,而且又光明。這樣子的世界,就是藥師琉璃光王佛的世界。
再來的世界,是「妙喜世界」。這個去過。這是阿閦佛的世界。阿閦佛的世界,一切非常的喜悅,每個人在那裡的世界,都是非常喜悅,充滿了無爭的,就是沒有競爭的世界。每一個菩薩、每一個佛,祂們見面的時候,都是充滿了法喜。這個世界,祂們的飲食非常的奇怪,祂們是以禪定的法喜為食。禪定的法喜怎麼吃呢?你們將來到了這個世界就知道了。
再來一個,「妙圓世界」。這個沒有去過。
再來一個,「華藏世界」。你們看經典裡面就有提到華藏世界重重無盡,十方世界光華全藏於此,就是華藏世界。這個世界我沒有在那裡待過,只有經過,就是路過而已。
這個「真如世界」,是不空佛的世界,我只是知道,但是沒有去過。
「圓通世界」,就是觀世音菩薩、觀自在如來的世界。
那麼,再過來呢?從今天以後,就是從現在講了以後,將來就會又「真佛世界」出現。請問大家,這個真佛世界是什麼樣的地方呢?就是「蓮花童子」(蓮花菩薩)祂本身擁有的世界,就是摩訶雙蓮池。
我們為什麼要談這些「世界」呢?像我們地球,也是一個世界。地球的世界,就叫做「娑婆世界」。我感到到很奇怪!為什麼佛經裡面,把整個地球講成娑婆世界?我自己覺得,所謂「娑」,可能是指我們地上的這些沙。所以,釋迦牟尼佛很聰明,祂說這個世界怎麼形容呢?祂眼睛一看,哎呀!都是沙,到處都是沙,那麼就是沙的世界。
至於這個「婆」字,我就想不出來了。大概釋迦牟尼佛經常看到世界上的很多人,每一個人都是很愚昧(所謂愚昧,就好像笨笨的)。他也不想修行,跟他講,叫他修行,他也不知道在做什麼,告訴他西方極樂世界多好,他也聽不懂,又聾又啞、又老態龍鍾、又愚昧無知、跟老太婆差不多;到最好想通了。原來娑婆世界,就是釋迦牟尼佛認為這個世界遍地都是沙。所有的人都跟那個無知愚昧的老太婆一樣,那樣子,所以叫做娑婆世界。
那麼,最勝世界跟其他所有世界,當然都不是在我們整個地球上的娑婆世界,不過——
「最勝」兩個字,就是第一。
「妙寶」兩個字,是微妙的法寶。
「圓珠」呢,就是圓滿的光明。
「無憂」呢,從來就沒有煩惱。
「淨住」呢,就是完全清靜的世界。
「法意」呢,就是佛法的意識充滿。
「滿月」呢,是琉璃而圓滿。
「妙喜」呢,就是微妙的法喜充滿。
「妙圓」呢,就是微妙的圓滿。
「華藏」,就是重重無盡的蓮華世界。
「真如」,所謂真就是完全是真實的,如就是如來。
「圓通」,就是十方法、十方佛、十方僧、全部圓滿,遍滿了世界。
「真佛」,就是未來世界,確確實實的佛法,真實的佛法。在這個真實的佛法裡面,將出現了真實的法,跟所有的佛、菩薩,全部在這個世界裡面。
我們再講一段:
「於是佛菩薩聲聞緣覺及諸天眾聞聖尊開演真佛世界。知是過去現在未來之吉祥
善逝大悲因果。是聖尊為眾生化身示現。各各歡喜得未曾有。」
這一段裡面就是講,在摩訶雙蓮池的所有的佛、菩薩、聲聞、緣覺,還有所有的天,包括二十八天、三十三天天眾,聽到大白蓮花童子在講整個真佛世界,祂們就知道了,這是過去、現在、未來的一個很大的法緣。這裡講「吉祥善逝大悲因果」。我們先談「吉祥」兩個字。很多人接到師尊的回信,上面都寫著吉祥。吉祥就是什麼樣呢?最善的、至善,就是比所有好的還要好,也就是沒有比這個更好的了。那麼,什麼叫做「善逝」呢?這個善逝很難解釋,以前,我特別為善逝著兩個字去查遍佛教的經典,又查字典。就是佛的因果稱號,就是很好的死哇!按照字上解釋,不是這樣子的。「善」就是好的,「逝」就是死掉了。所謂叫做善逝,是如來的十種稱號之一,就是「一切都剛剛好」。
大家又想不出來了,怎麼搞的?這個如來的十個稱號裡面,還有很好的死啊!告訴你,這個是確實的,人生最快樂的一件事情,就是應該死的時候就死,應該生的時候就生。那麼,祂出來的剛剛好,死的剛好,這就是如來啊!我要來就來、要去就去,剛剛好人家在請客的時候他就來,剛剛好要發生世界大戰他就走了,他就不要當兵。
告訴你,這兩個字不簡單啊!世上的眾生沒有應該能夠善逝的,只有如來能夠善逝。
祂知道現在世界上沒有佛法了,應該祂來的時候祂就來。那很多如來都到世界上來了,祂不必來了,祂就不來。所以,如來的十大稱號之一就是善逝。所以呢,今天師尊能夠在這裡說法,也就是善逝。這個「逝」,代表出生、死亡剛剛好出現,這幾個意思在裡面。
另外講「大悲因果」。師尊,這個大白蓮花童子,降生娑婆世界,都是又原因、又果地,所以叫做「因果」。什麼叫「大悲」呢?就是大慈大悲。那麼好的地方祂不住,祂偏偏住那麼髒的地方。你以為師尊開那個勞斯萊斯心情很好啊?其實,看到這個油錶,油錢在浪費的時候,心裡很悲哀啊!又想到,我在摩訶雙蓮池坐的那個白蓮花,要到那裡,就到那裡,哪有這種漏油車跟漏水車。蓮花既不會漏油、也不會漏水,更不必加汽油,也不要花費。意念一轉,它就可以飛到那裡。就是因為慈悲這個天下眾生,就是有這個「大悲因果」,所以才「善逝」在這裡出生、在這裡死亡。
總而言之,就是因為「聖尊為了眾生化身示現」這樣子的大悲因果,就是非常的殊勝。所以很多的佛、菩薩、聲聞、緣覺、跟三十三天、二十八天眾,聽到這樣子的說法,每一個都非常歡喜,知道這是從來沒有的。本來就從來沒有,以前誰講過一個摩訶雙蓮池?以前誰講過十八大蓮花童子?根本就沒有!那師尊是無中生有!?啊!不是無中生有,說錯了!是從無形的變成有形的,無形的變成有形的就是無中生有啦!
我確實是從這個摩訶雙蓮池那邊來的,要怎樣子發誓大家才相信呢?其實再怎樣子發誓大家都不信!信的人就信,不信的人還是不信,所以度眾生很難。我就是在得到瑤池金母開了天眼,當天晚上遊歷了太虛世界,確實看見摩訶雙蓮池,而且有佛菩薩在我耳邊告訴我:「那尊就是蓮花童子」。我看得清清楚楚。那一個晚上我是確實聽見、確實看見的。我去拜訪很多出家人,拜訪很多修法的老和尚、大法師,每位我都告訴他,他們都說我講的是鬼話。那麼沒辦法了,我確實看到了、確實聽到了,那我怎麼辦呢?佛菩薩還要我將來要度很多的眾生。
我以前,在第十六本書以前,我寫的文藝、愛情、散文、小說。從第十六本書開始,才開始改寫「道」跟佛。有些人講:「這個盧勝彥居心不良,他大概有什麼企圖,他編了一個蓮花童子世界,再來欺騙天下眾生。」不過,我今天很坦白告訴大家:「師尊那天所看到的,跟聽到的,確確實實沒有講一句假話。」因為大家都相信我,不要在你們面前發誓了吧!這個老實講,我就是在千萬人面前發了毒誓,好像發了很重的重誓,或怎樣來發誓。不信的還是不信,我實在是沒有辦法!
所以呢!這個法是非常難得的,非常殊勝的。我將來,為了討論蓮花童子世界、摩訶雙蓮池的世界的真實無虛,我一定還要再表演幾個秀給大家看。這個秀可能是我把什麼都丟掉,再表演幾種神變,就像是神奇的變化,但不是魔術。因為,現在的世界,要大家親自看到了,大家才信。想用語言和文字而使眾生都能夠相信你,非常困難。
以前,我母親講過,她說:「就是把你的胸剖開,把你的心臟拿給人家看,把你的心拿給人家看,人家還嫌這個腥臭。」
我現在只能就這樣子告訴各位,我確確實實到過。重複的再講一遍:「確實到過」。信者有福,不信者無緣。
Exegesis (10)
The Holy One is merciful and compassionate. The Supreme Secret One. In the past, he practiced and attained enlightenment. He left desire and transcended the mundane world. Now he has created the true Buddha realm. He has mercy on all beings.
Become a leader. Descend to Saha. Shanzai is called Liansheng. Proclaim it to the public. We have all heard it. Be a great protector.
Today I will talk about this verse. I will recite it first:
"The Holy Lord has great mercy. Supreme Secret Lord. Get your certificate early in the past. Separation from desire transcends this world. Now create the true Buddha realm. Have mercy on all groups. Become a leader. Descend to Saha. Shanzai is called Liansheng. Proclaim it to the public. We have all heard it. Be a great protector. 』
Let me explain the three words "Great Compassion" in the first sentence "Holy Lord, Great Mercy". The so-called "Great Compassion" means vast and immeasurable salvation. Why don't you say it's a little mercy? There is also small compassion. Ordinary people, most people, and most sentient beings have small compassion. For example, if he discovers that a place is easy to make money, he will make it alone and will not tell anyone else. Like our master Zhao Shaodong, he is now an agent. That place was very profitable, and he wouldn't tell the second or third agent about it. He has his own reasons for doing business this way. If he lets others know this good news, what will he earn, what will he drink, and what will he eat?
Then, why is the Holy Lord called "Great Mercy"? I know that there is a way to practice cultivation and go to the Maha Twin Lotus Pond in the Western Paradise. I know it, and I know there is such a place. I can just go by myself, why do I need to tell everyone? To put it more realistically, there is endless food over there. What then? To put it more realistically, the palace there is very beautiful. There are many, many people there, and you can become the king by yourself. Well, I know it myself, but I don’t hide it. I tell everyone about this Dharma and this place so that everyone can go. This is great compassion. I don’t think this Maha Twin Lotus Pond is mine and no one can come. It’s not like how some gurus are now. It seems that I occupy the south and he occupies the north. Your guru from the south comes to my north, which is invading my territory. Your guru from the north comes to my south. , is also an intrusion into my territory. Your place is under the control of that guru. If a disciple goes to the north, he or she is a spy. If a disciple from the north goes to the central part to practice with you, he or she is a spy. Therefore, disciples of the True Buddha Sect should not be divided among themselves. Everyone must have great compassion, not just small compassion. It seems that they only care about my hilltop. I harvest the grain here. Anyone who comes here is invading my territory and coming here to harvest my rice. Therefore, those of us who study the Dharma and practice must have a heart of great compassion. We cannot be just a little compassionate like the general public. A small compassionate heart is also selfish. This is what the "Holy Lord's Great Mercy" mentioned here means.
The second sentence talks about "The Supreme Secret Lord". The current situation is increasingly demonstrating the "supremacy" of our sect. What is the "Secret Lord"? In fact, like this secret master! I knew about my past life before. Very early on, but when I was in Taiwan, I never told the secret of my past life. I only told this secret in the book after I arrived in the United States. Because I didn’t tell it before, I’m telling it now. What was a secret before is no longer a secret now. Now it is being respected more and more, which is a symbol of supremeness.
This "cultivation and enlightenment in the past" means that you have been a Buddha in the past! I have become a Buddha in the past, I have become a Buddha a long time ago. I myself know that in the past life of the Master, he was very close to Mahavairocana and Vairochana Buddha, and also very close to the Mother Buddha-Eye Buddha. His relationship with Amitabha was like Master and Disciple. It seemed that the more he spoke, the more mysterious he became. Nifo is almost like a brother, what about Maitreya Bodhisattva? It’s my uncle! Where is Padmasambhava? There is simply no distinction between them! So speaking of it, they are all like relatives. This is "past early cultivation".
Don’t think that Master is doing yourself a favor again. I'm usually very humble, but now I'm talking about it and I'm the biggest one. In fact, the same applies to you all. If everyone practices Buddhism, as long as you are enlightened, you will be related to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. So do you!
Because we have achieved enlightenment in the past, "Now we have left the desires of this world and transcended this saha world."
"Now we are creating a true Buddha Realm." What this "True Buddha Realm" means is to turn the Maha Twin Lotus Pond into a true Buddha world. Then, I have great sympathy for all sentient beings in this Saha world.
Many people have asked me about the following sentence, "Become a leader." They said: "Isn't Master the leader of the sect? Why is he both the leader and the sect leader? They are confused!" I explained to them that many people are afraid of this "leader" because Sakyamuni Buddha He is the leader of Buddhism! Since you are the leader now, why don’t you put Sakyamuni Buddha aside and become the leader yourself?
My explanation is this: Sakyamuni Buddha is the leader of the Saha world, so the leader of the Western Paradise is Amitabha, and the five Buddhas in the five directions are all leaders. Then, the leader of the true Buddha world in the future will be the Great White Lotus Boy, the "leader of the true Buddha world." Therefore, I have written about many worlds before. In fact, every world has a leader. The supreme world, the world of wondrous treasures, the world of round beads, the world of worry-free, and the world of pure dwelling all have their leaders. The leader of the Saha world explains Sakyamuni Buddha.
So it’s not a usurpation, so don’t be nervous! Many people are very nervous, including disciples of our own sect and disciples of other sects. It seems that Lu Shengyan is going to be the leader of the Saha world, so what will Shakyamuni Buddha be?
"The good name is lotus" means the lotus is born! "Good" means very good. His Dharma name is "Lotus Transformation".
"Preaching it widely to the public" means beginning to promote the Buddha Dharma for all sentient beings in the world, and preaching the true Buddha's secret Dharma widely.
Those who come to listen to the Fa now have already heard it.
Therefore, they are willing to do the "greatest protection" work for this "True Buddha World", "True Buddha Sect" and "True Buddha Esoteric Dharma".
Explanation of the Scriptures (XI)
Then. The Holy Lord, the Great White Lotus Boy, is telling everyone. Practicing without thoughts is the treasure of the Buddha who is fully enlightened.
The body is pure. Mouth is clean. Purity of mind is a magic weapon. According to the true Buddha master, he is the treasure of the Sangha.
Last week we talked about great compassion and small compassion. It is said that Master Shaodong was a little merciful in business, because when he was working as an agent, he would not tell his colleagues if he had good news. So His business is doing particularly well. That's why he will be late tonight. However, I would like to add that our Master Shaodong also has great compassion.
A long time ago, I drove to Vancouver by myself. Drive away and drive back the next day. Maybe I was very focused, so my eyes couldn't move and my waist was too straight, so I had a sore back after I came back. Once, I had neuralgia here, which lasted for two or three hours. Because it takes three hours to drive there and three hours to drive back, a total of six hours, which is considered a long-distance drive. Our Master Shaodong is very compassionate in terms of the spirit of spreading the Dharma.
Think about it, he drives three hours to Leizang Temple every Saturday night to translate. After the translation is completed, he drives three hours back to Vancouver. Of course, there are many disciples here from Vancouver, and they are the same, driving three hours to come and driving three hours back. This is not simple, and it cannot be accomplished without great compassion, a heart to spread the Dharma, or a heart to listen to the Dharma.
Like Bodhi Hall Spirit in Vancouver, I have not been to join their fellow practitioners, not even once. Because I was afraid of driving three hours there and then driving three hours back, so in terms of the spirit of spreading the Dharma, Master Zhao’s true compassion was great.
Think about it, on the road, there is no beautiful scenery at night, it is pitch black! I was able to endure three hours in the dark. I drove back like this and it was already midnight when I got home. Not once or twice, but for a whole year. This makes me feel inferior! So, I'm grateful that they're here. It’s all the disciples in Vancouver who can rush here and go back wholeheartedly. I was really touched!
Now we recite a true Buddhist scripture:
"At that time, the Holy Venerable Great White Lotus Boy told everyone. Practice and treat non-thought as the treasure of the Buddha of perfect enlightenment. The body is pure. The mouth is pure. The pure mind is the treasure of the Dharma. Reliance on the true Buddha guru is the treasure of the Sangha."
I once spoke about this section at the North Point City Hall in Hong Kong. However, let me remind you again now. This section is the most important section of the entire true Buddhist sutra, that is, this section is the essence of the entire sutra. Every true Buddhist practitioner will become a Buddha as long as he meets this section. This section is the secret of the entire true Buddhist scripture. But it cannot be said that if you have this section, you don’t need it either in front of it or in the back. I asked everyone to read the true Buddhist sutra a thousand times, and they would not recite anything else but this passage. So, if you recite the true Buddhist sutra a thousand times, it will be over very quickly. However, today I tell you: as long as your "body and strength" conform to the spirit of this section, you will be the real "true Buddha". No thought is the "Buddha's treasure of perfect enlightenment".
Master Chang Ren once asked me: "Why are many koans in Zen so difficult to understand?" It seemed that there was a Zen master sitting in front of a bamboo, and he had been thinking about some issues. This bamboo suddenly heard a sound, "Beep". When the bamboo split, there was a "Beep" sound. That Zen master was already enlightened. Hearing this voice, he became enlightened. There are many Zen masters meditating in the woods. Suddenly, a leaf fell from the sky and he became enlightened. There are many Zen masters meditating in the woods. Suddenly, a leaf floated down from the sky. When he saw the leaf float down and fall to the ground, he became enlightened. Some Zen masters walked as hard as they could, kept walking, kept walking, and kept walking. Suddenly, their feet twisted and the man fell down, "touched" and hit his head. Enlightened. The great Zen master saw that even the younger Zen masters were not enlightened, so he took one... and knocked it on the head like this, and he became enlightened. If you can achieve enlightenment in this way, you can come to enlightenment later if you are willing. After a while, everyone said again: "Master go to the court, I suit in the Court"! Everyone sue me together. ”.
In fact, among these, there is only one word. Master tells the secret of Zen koan. You should dig your ears and listen carefully. There is nothing strange about it. If you tell it, it won’t be worth a penny. If you don’t tell it, you will have to think about it for three years. One word: "stop", which tells you to "stop".
He was thinking about it and couldn't figure it out for a long time. Suddenly, the bamboo beeped, calling him... "Hey"..., ah! Don't think about it, don't think about it. The old Zen master walked around, fell down and bumped, "Oh!" It is also "stop". Master hits you on the head with this and you all faint and pass out. This is "stop". What happened? How can this "stop" lead to enlightenment? "Stop" means to stop thinking about it! Don't have any thoughts! If you don't have thoughts, you are "without thoughts."
We just entered samadhi over there. What kind of samadhi did we enter? Everyone has just entered samadhi. Have you ever thought about what samadhi is like? Think about it, everyone! Food samadhi? Yummy stuff samadhi? Beautiful samadhi? Money samadhi? Beautiful clothes samadhi? If Master wears new clothes today, when meditating, he will think of his new clothes and enter this new clothes samadhi. In other words, someone took advantage of Master's sermon to get in. This samadhi is even more complicated.
When you are enlightened, it is "entering samadhi". It is just one word, telling you to "stop thinking". Stop all your thoughts. Only by stopping all your thoughts can you achieve "no thoughts". The real samadhi is "no thoughts of good", "no thoughts of evil", "no dwelling", "no thoughts". Let me tell you! The true true heart of the universe is no thoughts. When you reach the true no thoughts, your heart is boundless and your heart is in harmony with the heart of heaven.
Master often goes out to help others, or goes out at midnight (going out at midnight does not mean going out to play, but the soul leaves the body) to help all disciples and those who need help. Sometimes he has to handle three cases in one night, so he is very tired when he comes back. What should he do when he is tired? Then he can only rely on entering samadhi.
If you can cultivate to the point of no thought, stop all your thoughts. Immediately having the law flow of the universe watch over you is equivalent to recharging. As for your body, you originally used a lot of power to help people, and you consumed a lot of energy. But the power in the universe replenishes your body and enters your body. It's like your dry battery is recharged, and you can continue to help people. If you can't achieve thoughtlessness when you practice, but you often help others, then don't doze off when you are here with fellow practitioners. Because you only consume, not replenish, you have to sleep during the day, sleep at night, and even sleep while driving. At any time, you can sleep standing or sitting, so you can sleep all the time. , this is the absence of thoughts without practice. You will feel that your spirit is very tired and you cannot replenish it all the time!
As long as you have a few minutes of thoughtlessness every day, you can replenish your energy. When your mind is without thoughts, your mind is "boundless mind", which is "bodhichitta".
Only when there are no thoughts is the most pure and untainted time.
Only when you are free of thoughts can you truly reach the other shore of Buddha and obtain enlightenment.
All Buddha's wisdom and all concentration are all in "no thought".
Let me tell you, the calmness of meditation is one. To be able to reach the point of stopping is already remarkable. Entering the space of no thoughts again, the endless space, is the "Buddha's Treasure of Enlightenment", which means becoming a Buddha. "Wu Nian" I can only talk about it so far. Because if you continue to talk about it, it will be very secret and unbelievable.
Let me tell you, when you are free of thoughts, the earth will shake, stars will fall, demons will tremble, and all the space in the universe and the ten Dharma realms will shine brightly. When you achieve true free of thoughts, you will possess the highest and greatest magical power in the universe. You will not only have whatever you wish for, but you will also have it. In the state of free of thoughts, the universe and the world are yours. Because you are already a Buddha! You can be seen everywhere. You are in the "free of thoughts" of Leizang Temple in Seattle. In Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and any other country, as long as someone thinks of you, he will receive your radio waves and see you immediately. This is the "Buddha treasure of right enlightenment."
Next, "A pure body, pure speech and pure mind are the Dharma treasures." These are the three secrets, the secrets of body, speech and mind.
When we do mudra, if we do it temporarily, our body will be temporarily pure.
We temporarily recite a mantra: "Om. Guru. Lotus arises in Siddhi. Hum." This is a temporary purification of the mouth.
Hitting your head to tell you not to think randomly will temporarily clear your mind.
We practitioners must extend our temporary purity of body, speech, and mind into our walking, standing, sitting, lying down, and daily life. Keeping these three secrets forever is the practice of integrating the three secrets into one. Thirty minutes for our fellow practitioners on Saturday night is just a short period of thirty minutes of purity, that is, thirty minutes of purity for fellow practitioners. We use this kind of practice to practice the Dharma for a short period of thirty minutes. This is our "magic weapon". For example, someone asks you: Who did you eat with, hang out with, walk with, or sleep with yesterday? How do you answer? Tell you! You eat with Buddha, hang out with Buddha, walk with Buddha, and sleep with Buddha. If you are with the Buddha all the time, you already have the purity of the three secrets, you know how to practice, and you have the "Dharma Treasure". If you go to sleep with someone else, I don't care!
The last sentence is "According to the true Buddha master as the treasure of the Sangha." Every master in our True Buddha Sect can accept disciples. However, our true Buddha guru must truly live up to the word "true Buddha". When I look at the life of a guru, I rarely say a word before, but now I want to add this: What about being a guru? That is to become a Buddha yourself, and then all sentient beings will become Buddhas. There is only one path for a true Buddha guru. There is another path, which is to become a guru who does not meet the conditions for a true Buddha guru, then one will go to Vajra Hell. Therefore, it is either becoming a Buddha or going to the Vajra Hell. There is no third way. This is the hope that every master of the True Buddha Sect can become a true "True Buddha Master."

The main points of the true Buddhist scriptures, when it comes to "relying on the true Buddha master as the treasure of the Sangha", it means that the key points are all at the front. The next paragraph will talk about the benefits of this true Buddhist scripture. I will read it once and everyone will understand it.
"The Holy Lord tells everyone that if there is a good man or a good woman, please take a bath and fast on the 18th day of the fifth month every year. Wear new and clean clothes. Or on the 18th day of each month. Or on your birthday. In front of the secret altar. I invite you. Two Buddhas and eight Bodhisattvas.

In the Western True Buddha Sea Assembly, at the Maha Twin Lotus Ponds, a boy with a large white lotus flower was in the middle of the pond and chanted the mantra:
"Om. Guru. Lotus Siddhi. Hum."
After the Holy One had spoken this sutra, Indra and the crowd, as well as the eight classes of gods and dragons and the four kinds of beings, bowed respectfully, believed in it and followed it.
The end of the true Buddhist Dharma for alleviating disasters and bestowing blessings.
In fact, everyone will understand the scripture I just read, because it is very simple. It mainly talks about the benefits of this sutra itself. At the beginning, it was said that if you ask for it, you will feel it. If you can provide support, you will be more satisfied. This is a question that many people ask. A disciple told me: "If the Holy One talks about this passage, he will come to listen to it no matter what." But he did not come today, so I have to talk about it quickly.
This passage is, "If two countries are at war, if you can recite this sutra and erect a statue to worship it, you will gain power and be invincible." Many disciples said, "This sutra seems to teach people to be warlike." In fact, when two countries are at war, the people who suffer the most are the common people, who cry out in grief and their families are torn apart. How can this true Buddhist sutra stand on the side of power and say that one is invincible? Isn't that suspected of encouraging war? Buddhas and Bodhisattvas all talk about great compassion, so how can they become the instigators of war?
Many people have raised this question, and I have told them: "Don't ask, there is a secret in it." It is not good to tell this, but what if you don't tell it? There are so many questions again; what should I talk about? The secret is leaking out again. Is it better to talk about it or not to talk about it? A disciple said to me, "Are you going to take this secret into the coffin?" It was so serious that I had no choice but to tell it.
If two countries are at war, then one country should recite this sutra and make offerings to the statue. This "instantly gaining strength" is interpreted as: increasing the power of peace of mind. In other words, if you can erect images to make offerings and recite true Buddhist sutras, you will understand to the end that this can end the suffering of life and death and eliminate all poisons. In other words, after the person who reads it and receives the blessing, he will become less and less interested in war.
If both countries chant, of course both sides will be at peace, and if they erect the statue to make offerings, both sides will receive blessings, and their hearts will be at peace, and of course they will be invincible, and they will win without fighting.
If a country is thinking about it, and if a country is not thinking about it, it will not succeed. Why? To use a common saying: "Money won't ring if there are not two of it." There must be two copper coins to ring. One of them gave in, just like, let me bear with you, you can be the boss and I can be the second child. This way I will be invincible.
Speaking of which, when two countries are fighting, both countries must want to fight, and then a major war will occur. If there is a country that does not want to fight and you want to invade, we will just let you fight if you want. This will not cause a big disaster. Of course, we also hope that this country can "erect an image to make offerings". After reciting this sutra, its power will influence the other party, making the other party feel calm, which means that it will be more invincible.
Well, the main purpose of this passage is to hope that every country can recite this classic. They will be able to be calm and have eternal peace. Therefore, it is said that "everything can be auspicious and complete." If everything is fulfilled, there will be no war, so "Gawei" comes to "solve the war" and become "invincible".
Let me explain this last spell:
"Om" is the universe.
"Guru" is the teacher, the teacher of the universe.
"Lotus-born Siddhi" means that the teacher guides all living beings to be born in lotus flowers.
"Siddhi" means the Buddha's kingdom.
"Hum" means perfect achievement.
This whole sentence can be explained as follows:
"The great teacher of the universe guided all living beings to be reborn from lotus flowers and established the Buddhaland in the Maha Twin Lotus Ponds."
The explanation of the true Buddhist scriptures has been completed here.
