顯密萃要 , 堪布慈誠羅珠仁波切著作: 讀後感

堪布慈誠羅珠仁波切著作

感想~~

˙ 我們眼睛所看到的一切,並不是真正的世界:

1. 原子核每秒運轉的速度是600 多應哩,這種高速運動,使原子看起來像一個球!
2. 我們手上拿著火炬,快速的在空中以繞圓圈的方式快速畫圈,在遠處看來,會被誤認為這是一個火圈。但是,這卻也是我們視覺停留的結果。

3. 螞蟻的世界是二度空間,所以,當我們用空中飛過,自它的後方飛至它的前面的位置,他將無法認知為何這個東西是如何出現的。因為,他無法了解三度空間的運作方式,他將以為這是個特異功能顯現。 同理,在我們三度空間哩,無法了解多度空間的運作方式,因此,我們認為另外的靈界,他心通,天眼天耳神足通等等,都是特異功能的表現。事實上,只要我們相信我們有這種能力,我們都應該具有這些能力。我們原本就是佛!!!!!

4. 我們基本上應該每個人都應該有這種擺脫三度或四度空間的能力。我們也可以用念力把湯匙彎曲,用念力讓任何事情有所改變,也許那只是能量的轉變。。。

˙什麼是空性?世間的一切,無時不在變化,無時都是即生即滅,一切的現象都是沒有連續性的,也就是無常的現象。任何世間的貪瞠痴慢疑現起,都是自空性現起。因此,在空性當中,沒有永遠的無,沒有永遠的有,也不必執著於無,不必執著於有。色聲香味觸法,生老病死,眼耳鼻舌身意都是如此!但是,什麼是寂靜涅盤 ? 在勝義諦哩,應該是處在一個完全寂靜的狀態,法王子說,沒有什麼特別,每個人都不同,但是相同的是沒有妄念,雜念的MINDFUL 狀態。當下的絕對值。但是這個絕對值是MOMENT PLUS MOMENT,點加點一直的延長。 一個真實的世界。"開悟",也許,是一種態度,與觀念的轉變,看到真實的世界,看到真實的心的本性,這是一種光明,但如何才不會落入阿賴揶的執著??

寂止與證悟之間也只是一步之遙! 應該這之間的差別就在,智慧上的層次不同。無人相我相壽者相的分別與執著,意指無我的執著,大體同悲,無生死時間的局限,在大圓滿的境界哩,也就是心經的境界。進入無念狀態,但也不是真正的"無"念!

但仁波切強調,若不修加行,是不可能達到解脫的!

Hear Sutra 103 : Forgiveness; inspiration from Spider Man II

"原諒, 寬恕," 說的是解放自己! 卸下自己心中的包袱.....這是最難的.

解放自己所執著的人事物, 解放特定觀念的執著, 解放對別人不滿情緒的執著, 解放加害於人的執著, 或是執著於對於自己的期許, 執著於對別人的期待. 也就是說原諒與寬恕本身, 必須先原諒自己所攀附的情緒, 或許是憤怒, 或受虐, 或是忌妒, 懷疑, 原諒自己的不智, 才有可能做到寬恕別人.

寬恕一辭, 在禪定當中, 我們所經驗的應當是更高階層的狀態।

在入定中. 每當有不同的情緒興起時, 每每歷經的事物, 都有如鶴影飛渡湖面之般, 不必追它, 更不必射殺它, 因飛鶴本身不曾立跡於湖, 也更不曾烙印於心...更不必說是情緒了, 那僅僅是內心裡的陰影所勾起的情緒反應, 而陰影是由六識所經驗而來的. 那是歷經累月的陰影. 哪麼, 情緒本身的來源便是如此的不定, 我們對一人氣憤, 也許常常氣的並不是這一個人, 而是這件事或人或某句話, 引起我從前的特殊情緒所致. 那麼, 對此人不滿的執著抓住不放, 是不智的. 且給自己極大的包袱.

此時, 寬恕在禪定中該是如何呢? 是穿透的能量! 如此才能使一切的因因果果皆化為空性. 穿透的能量在"無我"的狀態下是無可限量的. 無我需要的是極大的心量, 無我需要的暸悟四法印, 白話的說: "一切事物皆是合和現象, 皆無永常; 一切覺受情緒皆苦; 一切事物皆無自性; 涅盤寂靜狀態超越一切的概念। "
所以, 當我們可以不必靠時間的力量, 便能當下寬恕一個人, 我們便更是與"無我"更近一步了!
當然, 倘若, 我們若連"寬恕"一辭都不必思索時, 那才是真正的穿越時空的解放自己!!

Heart Sutra 102: in relation with forgiveness; inspiration from Spider Man

From Heart Sutra: "Here, O Sariputra, all dharmas are marked with emptiness ; they are not produced or stopped, not defiled or immaculate, not deficient or complete.

Therefore, O Sariputra, in emptiness there is no form nor feeling, nor perception, nor impulse, nor consciousness"

Sometimes, in cinema, we could find one splendid sentence that would spin in our head for quite a while। As I walked out from Spider Man's web, these words revolved in my mind trumpeting for the longest time:  

" Everybody has their own choices; whether being good or bad, right or wrong, it is all their choice."

During meditation, I suddenly realized one thing, feeling touched but relieved -- a real forgiveness is after all nothing to be forgiven, yet empty in the beginning. Why so? Because is there an absolute good or bad person? or a right or wrong deed?

According to Heart Sutra's teaching, the answer is

no,

as " in emptiness there is no form nor feeling, nor perception, nor impulse, nor consciousness ."

Is the perception of reality as cloudy as it seems we might wonder? In meditation of mind nature practice, one has to contemplate on the importance of one's mind in comparison with one's speech and physical form. If we merely suppose the dominance of mind, we would loose our chance to exam the supper power of our mind, to experience the non-physical existence phenomenon, and so does more in depth understand the concept of Buddha's teaching of emptiness।

How we exam the importance our mind is very similar to how we exam which choices we would make in our life. For instance, when the Sand Man encountered Spiderman's uncle, if he would not act on impulses, if he would consider the consequences of killing , if he can feel the sorrow and suffering of this being killed person's love ones as he loves his daughter, if he would ponder upon the causes and effects on his doing.......Thus, this is not matter of good or bad, right or wrong, but being wit and compassionate. As a result, on our discussion of forgiveness, is there anything to be forgiven? Is he still the same man who killed Spinderman's uncle, whether he repented or not? No, each cell in his body and mind had differed since. Therefore, we should be able to perceive this beyond what had been done, because it is all matter of concept and beyond our daily perception।

It is all about WISDON and COMPASSION。 

When we meditate on the subject of the importance of mind, we sometimes experience the feeling of loosing forms, loosing self-awareness, and loosing the grasping power of concreteness for couple minutes।

to be continued...

Heart Sutra 101: in relation with Meditation Practice

from Heart Sutra:

"Avalokita, the Holy Lord and Bodhisattva, was moving in the deep course of the Wisdom which has gone beyond.
He looked down from on high, He beheld but five heaps, and He saw that in their own-being they were empty.
Here, O Sariputra,

form is emptiness and the very emptiness is form ;

emptiness does not differ from form, form does not differ from emptiness, whatever is emptiness, that is form,

the same is true of feelings, perceptions, impulses, and consciousness."

Do we merely understand these lines in terms of knowledge, sutras and readings? If we do not truly realize and actually believe in what those lines meant, nothing will enlighten us from the suffering of samsara.

During our meditation practice and after experienced the settlement of calming peaceful stage of consciousness, we had once came into a split second of emptiness which Buddha realized, sustained and transcended two thousand and five hundred years ago. In addtion, the split second of emptiness of no time, no space, no attachment, no subject and object relations and no self has all manifested itself from our own nature of mind during our mindfulness stage of consciousness.

If we have once touched the nature of mind, we can be sure there is the light of truth of the universe that exists beyond the relative reality. However, the question is how do we "be" in the split second of emptiness? Thus, meditation brings the light on the path, leads us aspiration for awakening, and bestows us an inspirational possibility of "being" in the status of empitiness, which describes the truth of universe.
