三寶講述範例三寶講述範例 Examples for reference to the speech of the Three Treasures 壹、前言 各位先生、各小姐大家好!首先恭禧各位佛緣深 厚,接受明師指點,傳授無上的心法。我們既然已 求了道,那麼「道」究竟是什麼呢?中國古代哲學 家─老子,他被美國學者米勒推選為古今中外十大作 家之一,他曾說:「大道無形,生育天地」,大道 雖然沒有形狀卻能生天生地生萬物,是一切萬物的 根源。那麼「道」既是無形無象,我們以肉眼凡胎 如何去體悟無形的妙道呢?考查古代的聖神仙佛傳 道的情形,即知有道必有「法」,法就是法藥,用 來對治眾生的苦惱。今天我們所得的三寶即是當今 天命明師所傳的三個法寶,叫做關、訣、印,得這 三寶以作為修道、成道的指引,以及用心修持的入 門工夫,非常重要,它的效驗也非常不可思議。 1.PrefaceLadies and gentlemen! Congratulations to you for having great affinity with Buddha’s and initiated by our Enlightening Teacher and received the ultimate dharma. Now, you have already received Dao, what is Dao then? Lao Zi - the great ancient Chinese philosopher, explained: “Great Dao has no form, nor substance; yet it creates and nourishes heaven and earth”. It is the origin of all beings. As explained that Dao has no form, nor substance, how do we expect to comprehend the wondrous of the invisible Dao? When we refer to the fact that ancient saints and Buddha’s were transmitting Dao, they knew there was Dharma in Dao that they could use to cure sentient beings’ distresses. The Three Treasures that we have received today are passed on to us by our Enlightening Teacher. These Treasures are called Portal/Gate Mantra and Hand sign/Seal. The three treasures are the guide to one’s Dao cultivation and the attainment. It is the primer to the true cultivator, who will find its result and effect are very significant. 貳、第一寶「玄關竅」—通天竅 傳道師用他的手指向您指點的地方,就叫做「玄關 竅」。(2.) The first treasure is the Gate/Heavenly Portal – A Portal to lead one to Heaven The Dao transmitting master used his (her) finger to initiate the point (location); this is called the Gate/Heavenly Portal. 玄關是正門的意思,指這兒是靈性出入的正門。何 以稱為之為「玄關竅」?(一)玄關之內有我們的 真靈,這靈性與上帝、佛祖的靈光無異,故上可通 天下可貫地。(二)是生死之門戶,吾人只知媽媽 生了我們的身子,卻不曉得還需有一點靈光才能成 為一個人,只有肉身沒有靈性,好像一部剛出廠的 汽車,有完備的機件、駕駛座、方向盤卻沒有司機 在裡頭,您說它會動嗎?有的嬰兒一出娘胎就死 了,就是這個問題。一般人總以為小孩生下來自然 會呼吸嘛!但是您不妨到醫院的婦產科去看看,整 年下來總有幾個死胎哩!這死胎道家稱它為「未投 竅」,是什麼未投竅呢?當然是靈性囉!這樣子就 枉費媽媽懷胎十月之苦一場空。所以我們每個人的 出生,靈性都從這一竅而來,因此玄關竅是生的門 戶。所謂「一樣生,百樣死」,每人出生之際靈光 都從此竅而來,可是因各人在世之作為不同,死亡 時靈魂卻從別處出竅,僅得道者方能由此玄關正門 而出,所以說這竅是生死的重要「門戶」。(三) 這竅主宰全身,我們全身的靈覺全都由此竅發出, 這裡是周身一切靈覺的核心所在。我們每個人的靈 性是以這裡為核心發號司令,流佈週身的靈覺全由 這裡指揮.So called the Gate/Portal means the gate where is the entrance and exit of our soul (divine nature). Why do we call this gate as the Heavenly Portal? 1. Inside the portal, there is our true nature (divine soul or spirit), this true nature is the same as God’s, and Buddha’s natures, and it is a union of the heaven and the earth.2. It is the gate of our life and death, we only know that we have parents who give us the physical flesh, rarely know that we are bestowed by God with the soul (true nature or spirit) to vitalize our body. With only the physical flesh but without the spirit or soul is like a car equipped completely but without a driver to make it run on roads. This is why some babies died right after they were delivered; as you know that not all the babies is born alive, Taoism calls this failure of birth delivery as a “spirit fails to plunge in”. What is exactly that doesn’t plunge in? Of course, it actually is the spirit (soul or true nature) that doesn’t plunge into the body! The mother, who loses her baby in delivery, wastes away her 10 months pregnancy with all the suffering. Hence, all of us were born with the inherent true nature abides in the portal; this is why it is called the Gate of life. Remember that all of us are delivered to the world with this soul bestowed upon the same portal, but it may leave out from different side gates depending how the person performs his life on the earth. Those who receive Dao and act accordingly, certainly realize the right gate and know this is the location to leave out, therefore, this is why it is called the essential Gate of life and death.3. This heavenly portal controls the body all the sense of feeling is generatedon this location; this is the core of our sense of feeling; this is where our True nature commends the order to our flesh body.接著,請各位看看佛堂牆壁上的仙佛畫像,祂們的 頭部有什麼特殊現象呢?是不是都有一個光圈(佛 光)?各位如果有機會注意看看教會牆壁上的耶穌 圖像,圖上的耶穌也是頭頂有圓光。很奇妙!中國 的神像有佛光,印度的神像也有,不僅東方的有, 連代表西方文化的耶穌也有。總之,東西方聖賢仙 佛畫像的頂上都有佛光。其實,那佛光是因為聖佛 的心充滿慈悲光明的念頭而自然流露出來的,也是 古代畫家們依實際觀察所畫出的。何以仙佛的佛光 會出現在頭部而不在其他地方呢?這豈不是奧妙在 其中嗎?常識告訴我們,有光的地方必有光源,好 像做壁報畫上臘燭的時候,都同時會在火焰的週圍 畫上光環,表示它正在燃燒、發光。我們反過頭來 看看仙佛頭上的光圈,它的光源必然是在頭顱正面 的中心點,由此可證這佛光的核心點應該正好是玄 關竅的部位哩!是不是?也可證明玄關竅正是自性 佛的所在呀!Now, allow me to invite you to look at the picture of divine saints on the wall, what do you see around their heads? Those are called the halo/aureole. You will also see a halo around Jesus Chris’s head on His picture hang in the church. Amazing! Isn’t this? There are halos on saints in Chinese beliefs; in Hindu, not only in all oriental beliefs but also in Western beliefs as well, that all the divine Ones have the halos around their heads. In fact, this halo is naturally radiating from within for they all possess the thought of mercy only, all the ancient artist or painters in West and Orient strangely painted the same way about the halos (because they all observed and felt the same). But why the halo appears on the area of head not in other part of the body? Is this containing a wonderful message? The knowledge of nature reveals to us that where is there is the light; there must be a source of this light. The painter will naturally paint the halo around a flaming candle to show that it is burning and radiating. Let’s apply this to the pictures of saints or Buddha, the halo is around the head, it must generated and sourced from the center of the right side of the face, therefore, it proves that the core of our true nature must be in the point of our portal. Anyhow, the fact of the aureoles does exist which is needless to deny, we are fortunate enough to be initiated by our enlightening Teacher, we shall cultivate ourselves accordingly to revive the inherent light of our original nature. 這裡再以醫理的觀點來佐證玄關確是吾人的主宰, 一般人總認為大腦就是主宰生命活動的「心」,換 句話說是認為腦就是心,心就是腦了。這個觀念並 不完全正確,加拿大有位神經學家叫培裴德,他曾 經透過實驗想探討腦與心靈(思想)之間的關聯。 我們知道,人類主要的思考、記憶、指揮動作的功 能與大腦灰皮層有關,大腦灰皮層是大腦最外層佈 滿神經的部份。灰皮層分成很多不同的區域,個別 主宰不同的功能,比如說一部份主管食慾,一部份 主管言語,一部份主管皮膚…培裴德博士做了一項 實驗,將電極插在病人支配大腦半球的講話部位, 就是將講話的神經中樞用電流麻醉,一通電時病人 就沈默了,等一會兒撤掉電極,那病人就很快地說 出當電極干擾腦部時「他」所無法表達的話。換言 之,腦部被電極麻醉時,按一般推理應該是不會再 有想講話的念頭,可是事實剛好相反,腦被電極控 制時,竟然還有個會想講話的「主體」,實驗過很 多次情況都一樣。培裴德作個比喻,大腦如同電視 機的映像管,而心靈、思想就好像電視波,二者相 輔相成,大腦是工具而心靈如主人,沒有大腦就無 法傳達訊息,沒有心靈則大腦與屍體一般,最後他 下個結論:「可能在腦之後或腦中潛伏了『思想 者』本身,它使用腦,就像操作人員使用電腦一 樣。」我們可說培裴德博士猜得雖不中也不遠了。 同時,可以佐證這一指點的正確性與醫學實驗能夠 相互呼應,也糾正了一般人「腦就是心」的臆測觀 念。In point of medical practice, it proves that our heavenly portal is actually the master to our body, generally, people regard our brain is the “heart (the mind)” that vitalizes our life, in other words, people thought the brain is the heart. This point of view is not exactly correct. There was a Canadian Dr. of nerve had series of experiments to discover the connection (relationship between) of the mind and the thought. As we understand that the function of human’s thinking, memories and the conduct of activity have something to do with the area of our brain called Grey Skin Layer area where is fully spread of the nerves. This area is consisted of various districts that function differently, such as that controls the desire of eating, the function of language and skin…etc. This Dr. did an experiment by using an electric shock to disturb the nerve in the brain that functions talking, the person wasn’t able to talk while the electric shock was on, later right after the shock device was switched off, he started to talk those words while he wasn’t able to speak out because of the external force that numbed the ability of speaking. Normally, we thought when the electric shock numbs the brain, the person shall have no thought of talking, on the contrary, there is actually a “device” that generates the speaking desire, and this has been proved by various repeated experiments. This Dr. used an example to explain this nature likes a TV picture tube. The mind, the thought are like TV waves, each is the assistance to the other. The brain is a tool to the mind, but the mind is a master, without the true nature the brain is out of function and is like a corpse. In conclusion, Dr. said that there is probably a “ thinker” behind the brain or in the brain that uses the brain just like an operator uses the computer. We can claim that this Dr. didn’t precisely find the position, yet it is not far from it. In the meantime, this medical point has helped to prove this heavenly portal is precise, which corrected the wrong point of view of people’s general idea about the brain is the mind. 參、第二寶「口訣」—通天咒 接著,再說明第二寶「口訣」,口訣就是剛才傳道 師最後要各位跟他念的那五個字,請各位再跟我唸 一遍……再一遍,謝謝!這稱為五字真言,是通天 神咒,有不可思議的感應力量。彌勒真經言:「老 母降下真天咒,用心持念有神通。」以此口訣修 持,啟發內心悅樂的泉源,能夠迅速調伏妄想雜念 與不平的情緒,甚至於有人因默誦口訣而治癒多年 失眠症的案例;經常虔誠持誦,可感召諸天神聖護 持,遇難呈祥。(3.) The second treasure is the Heavenly Mantra /Password – the code to Heaven. Just now, you have been asked by our Dao Transmitting Master to repeat after him or her, now, please repeat after me to make sure you memorize this Mantra. This is called the Five Words, which is the code to connect to heaven. It has an amazing force of feeling and responding. In the True Sutra of Maitreya states: “God descents the true heavenly mantra (password), chant this mantra attentively, you shall feel and respond with heaven.” Cultivate according to this Mantra, the source of inner joy shall be disclosed and soon adjust and settle the false and disputed thoughts and moods. Some even cured their insomnia that bothered them for years; constantly chant this passage of password inside of your mind, which will lead you to touch heaven and bring protection on you, peaceful result will happen when encounter difficulty. 我們就來分析一下這祖師所傳的口訣:第一個字象 徵虛靈之性、無極理天及常而不變之「理」——代 表絕對世界,我們的自性來自無極理天,在理天自 性沒有男女之分,就是一團虛靈而已,自由自在, 常清常靜,逍遙快樂。第二字象徵人身呼吸之氣、 太極氣天及變而有常之「數」—代表相對世界,我 們本性降生人間即落入後天,接受氣天「氣數」的 主宰,萬物之生殺消長,日月星辰之運轉週旋,莫 不由氣天掌理。第三個字是「象天」—代表物質世 界,意即佛祖示現在人間教導眾生由象天超氣入 理,有形之身終是虛幻,應早日借假修真,所以象 天的一切眾生要追隨聖佛,以其為尊以其為貴,努 力效法才可返本還源,重回理天。以上三個字加上 最後兩個字,意即三極妙道是由彌勒祖師掌天盤, 領導群生修道、辦道,以致成道。因此,傳道師傳 我們口訣,我們當明白本性自理天而降,今日受了 物欲的朦蔽已稍不光明,必須皈依彌勒佛、老師及 師母,改毛病,去脾氣,修心養性,去象超氣入 理,回復圓覺的本性。自己明理之後,更須要代天 宣化,替佛學言,使迷失於花花世界的同胞,早日 悟透氣天象天之不長久,而認理歸真,同享逍遙。 Let’s now analyze the Mantra/ Password: The first Word symbolizes the void true nature, the heaven and the constancy of the principle that eternally unchanged. It repreents an absolute world, our true nature is originated from there, there is no gender; it is just void, tranquil, free, unfetter and happy. The second Word symbolizes the Qi – yin and yang energy, and also the air for breathing. This spiritual world has the nature of changing but constant. – A relative world. When the true nature is born to this world, it is trapped by the limitation of this world. The birth, death, perish and growth of all beings; the revolution of sun, moon and stars are all controlled by this space’s principle. The third Word represents the earthly world. Buddha was on this earth to show all sentient being to transcend to unlimited status by surpassing the material and spiritual world, all the formation on this material world will all be vanished one day, and He taught us to use this limited false formation (body) to cultivate the true and eternal one. Therefore, all beings on the earth have model to follow so their origin can return to where they came from. These are the first three Words explanation. The last two Words that follow after the above three words indicate that Maitreya Buddha is responsible for the Heavenly Post, He leads all sentient beings cultivate and help for the spreading of Truth, and in the end, leads them all to reach to attainment. Hence, after received the Mantra/Password from the Dao Transmitting Master, we shall understand that our true nature is descent from heaven, yet we are lost and beclouded because of the desire of material, now we shall rely on Maitrya Buddha, our Enlightening Teachers, strive for removing our bad habits, refining our short temper and cultivating ourselves to restore our origin. Upon realizing our origin, we shall then spread the truth to all possible corners, awake the lost ones to understand the limited spaces (the spiritual world and the earthly worlds) are not going to last forever. So they can also restore themselves to genuine ones and be unfettering as well. 隨地都可以誠心默誦五字真言來收攝身心。持誦口 訣時,內心可以一面觀想彌勒祖師的慈容,一面綿 綿密密誠心默誦。平日也應該效法祖師之廣大慈 心、笑口常開、大度大量。每天早上起來就要知足 感恩,才會從內心升起無窮的快樂。從內心裡知足 感恩,隨時學習將快樂分享給予他人,您將是一位 笑口常開很受歡迎的人。還有,人之所以會生氣、 .msgcontent .wsharing ul li { text-indent: 0; } 分享 Facebook Plurk YAHOO! .
