Hua Zang Si Holy Dharma Guang Wen Dharma-Listening Center

My first refuge taking ceremony took place at Hongfa Temple in Shenzhen on the 8th day of the 4th month of the Lunar Calendar in 2000 A.D. My dharma master was Great Monk Ben Huan. A few months later, following the recommendation of a fellow sister, I took refuge with H.E. Dulmo Choje Rinpoche who recently arrived from Qinghai. H. E. Dulmo Choje Rinpoche was praised as an accomplished cultivator. In May of 2002 at a friend’s house I met Baer Qing Rinpoche and took refuge once again with him. At that time I believed the more masters I had, the more Buddha dharma I could learn as well as to receive more empowerment. However, Master soon left. His only instruction was to recite the Four Limitless States of Mind and the Hundred Syllable Mantra.

In June of 2002, upon learning that Lhabum Rinpoche planned on staying in Shenzhen for an extended period of time, I took refuge with Lhabum Rinpoche. I reasoned that if I had a master whom I could visit frequently; my good fortune would surely increase. Indeed, I did attend many dharma assemblies, captive animal release rituals and the Eight Precept Retreat conducted by Lhabum Rinpoche. In addition, I did morning and evening chants at home. Sometimes I even practiced the Eight Precept Retreat on my own at home. Although I was busy every day, I only felt joy and never relented. At that time, I single mindedly wished only for good fortune and good luck. My only wish was that my master could transform my ill fortune into prosperity. To achieve this, I took additional refuges with Mozha Dharma King of Kathog Monastery and Wengzha Rinpoche from Tibet the following year.

Three years later, a friend asked me, “Why is it that you have been so devout, yet your life is still full of difficulties? “ I was saddened by this remark. Why is it that my study of Buddhism did not derive any actual benefit? Where did I go wrong? I really couldn’t figure out and felt mentally exhausted and depleted. No longer did I want to visit any master, rinpoche or master. I thought I could just study on my own. But, how? I often asked myself what the correct path was. How could I practice to obtain real result? In reality, I simply couldn’t find the answer.

In March of 2009, my migraine resurfaced. While I was resting at home, fellow sister Zhou called me and invited me to her house to listen to the Dharma. I turned down her invitation stating I just wanted to rest peacefully at home because of the migraine. She said, “Come, this is the authentic Buddha dharma that is difficult to encounter in thousands of eons. You must come. Come and you will understand. I will be waiting for you.” So many people have invited me to meet masters and rinpoches. They were all supposedly to be great cultivators and rare to come upon. But, in the end, there was nothing special about all of them. My minds seethed with conflicting emotions. Finally, I told myself that if what I was about to see or hear was auspicious, it would reduce or completely eliminate my migraine. However, if what I was about to encounter made me feel uncomfortable or induce my migraine intolerable, I would just leave. After making my final decision, I hurriedly left for sister Zhou’s house. When I arrived, they had just started watching “Buddha-Bestowed nectar”. It was truly miraculous and unbelievable! It was a manifestation of authentic dharma power that I have never seen before. I completely forgot about my headache that whole day. The next day, I couldn’t wait to return to sister Zhou‘s house to listen to the Dharma. Its title was “Unparalleled Auspicious Buddha Dharma”. Tears streamed down my face as I listened. The Dharma was describing Buddhist disciples just like me. I was finally awakened by the Dharma realizing the mistakes of my past years. How could I regard myself studying Buddhism and cultivating myself? I spent all my past years studying blindly and futilely. Selfishly, I had only hoped for my own personal good fortune. I took refuge with every rinpoche and dharma king whom I have met. I did not understand the purpose of studying Buddhism and cultivation. I did not really cultivate myself or put my study into practice. That was why I had never achieved any substantial result.

Through listening to the Dharma, I developed correct views and understanding. I understood the reasons for studying Buddhism and self-cultivation. I developed a mindset to leave the world of impermanence, and to achieve liberation and realization. In addition, I vowed to obtain enlightenment and help others to do the same and to bravely carry on the mission of the Tathagata. From that day forward, I have devoted myself wholeheartedly into Dharma listening. On August 1, 2009, I took and passed the test to become a Master of Dharma-Listening Sessions. I am determined to introduce authentic Buddha dharma to everyone and anyone whom I have karma affinity with.

I have once been unemployed for many years and struggled economically. After listening to the Dharma for a period of time, one day, a friend of mine recommended me to an interview at a company. I was hired as section director. Even more amazingly I was promoted to the position of manager the next day! During the three months period from October of 2009 to December of 2009, both my personal as well as my group performances were ranked number one.

My American visa was approved in early June of 2010. Everything became very smooth. I believe all these events are attributed to the merits accumulated from listening to the Dharma and practicing according to the Dharma. It has increased my good karma and transformed the karmic consequences. In the past two years in America, I have persistently listened to the dharma. In addition, I organized dharma-listening sessions for those whom I have karma affinity with. I have obtained profound benefit from the Dharma expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. To me, it is a strong karmic condition to be able to be born in the same life time as the Buddha is present with us. Moreover, I can listen to the Dharma expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III with my own ears which is indeed difficult to encounter in hundreds and thousands of eons. It is an absolutely auspicious and rare opportunity.

I often wonder if we cannot achieve enlightenment when a Buddha is here, still cannot break free from the chains of cause and effect and still trapped in the cycle of birth and death for hundreds of thousands of years reaping the karmic results of our past doing until we have the opportunity to be reborn as human beings, will we still have the opportunity to meet up with H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III again? Will we still have the opportunity to listen to the Buddha’s Dharma? Where can we seek the path which will lead to liberation? The more I contemplate on it, the more frightened I become. I was horrified by the thought: If I cannot obtain enlightenment this life time, which other life time will it be?

Often I beseech the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to empower me to plant the seeds of positive karmic affinity with living beings, to have the ability and wisdom to be of assistance to those whom I have karmic affinity with to study Buddha dharma, to listen and understand the Dharma expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, and to put the teachings of the Dharma into action. Resolutely and diligently we should study Buddhism and really cultivate ourselves so that we can achieve enlightenment before long! Amitabha!

阿不問法第三十三集：靈魂到底有沒有？

阿不問法第三十三集：靈魂到底有沒有？

這天阿不聽到有兩個人在爭論，一個說人死了靈魂是沒有的，另一人說人是有靈魂的，死後會去投胎。見兩人爭執不下，阿不走上前去說，不如我們去問問師父吧！於是，阿不和他們來到師父跟前合十。

阿不：師父，他們兩個爭論到底有沒有靈魂？請求師父告訴我們。南無羌佛是如何說法的？

師父：我們凡夫所說的靈魂，在佛教中稱作神識，也叫靈知心識，它是真實存在的。佛陀恩師南無羌佛在為一個西方人提問說法中說什麼叫神識，就是你的思想，你平常想問題的這個意識，這個意識呢不像有些人說的，人死了就沒得了，什麼都沒得了，這是非常嚴重的錯誤。神識是不會滅的，它照常存在的，就相當於你晚上睡著，你做夢，你同樣在一個境界當中，同樣進入某一個地方，做什麼事，有情感，甚至還有笑、有哭的，什麼都有的，有悲傷但是人並沒有動，為什麼？因為人已經睡著了，睡在自己的床上的，但神識已經到另外的地方了。

阿不：是的！人睡著了在做夢，夢裡也有喜怒哀樂，原來是神識去了另外的境界啊！

師父：佛陀恩師南無羌佛說，人死了進入中陰身，那個神識就漂浮在一個無際空間，那個時候，他沒有任何形象，而不受任何阻隔，看到一個山，他都可以一穿就過去了，看到一個坑，他一下就飛起來了，看到海水他從水面上就走了，他不受任何阻隔，但是他本人不知道他已經死了，因為他是昏沉的，他經過一天、兩天、三天等，他這樣下去他很快就會知道他死了，他就懷疑，那個時候他掐自己也不痛。嘿呀！他就慌了，然後再返回家一看，完了！已經沒有辦法了，回不去了。他的屍體血都已經凝了，那此時此刻，他會看到他的家人，他叫他的家人，他的家人聽不到的，只看到他的家人在那裡悲傷，但是他喊他們，他們聽不見，因為家人看不到他。

阿不：怪不得聽說瀕死搶救回來的人說，當時他浮在醫院的上面，看到醫生是怎麼搶救他的，家人是怎麼在哭的，他喊家人，家人都沒有看到他，也沒聽到他的叫喊。

師父：阿不，有的人以為反正人死後什麼都沒有了，於是做盡了各種各樣的壞事，甚至為了謀財謀官位而去害他人生命，他們其實在自己害自己，他們不知道這個世界上因果報應和六道輪回的真實不虛，現代社會上的法律是凡夫所掌控的，但因果報應、六道輪回卻是這個宇宙生命的本有法則，唯有自己的造作才可以決定自己的命運。南無羌佛說法《藉心經說真諦》中就講了這些真諦。

阿不：希望所有眾生都來學習佛陀說法，瞭解這個宇宙人生的真相，生命的真相，從此走上學佛修行的解脫之路。南無阿彌陀佛！

爲一個西方人提問說法

2026-09-012026-09-01 yushanmeng發表留言

爲一個西方人提問說法

首先，我們要弄清楚一個基本的問題，才能讓你明白：假如我們不來這個世界，我們將會去什麽世界？

我剛才已經講到，在宇宙中，我們這個地球是宇宙中一個很小很小的、就類似于一顆灰塵那麽小的一個世界，微塵啊，像這類的有生命的世界，在宇宙中不計其數，數都數不清，不知有多少。那這個世界是指的我們這個人類世界，我們的人類世界同時有數不完的有生命的衆生，在佛經上說了，有六道衆生：天人、阿修羅、人道、畜生、餓鬼、地獄，這六道衆生呢，其實是一個大概的概念，它并不是六道衆生，還有若干沒有辦法歸納的衆生，就是經書上歸納不了的衆生。所謂衆生就是，衆者是指所有的一切，生者是指有生命的。

（翻譯：他說他不明白爲什麽人類衆生在世界上都是邪惡的？）

我會給你講到的，我必須要從這里理清楚，我講了你才聽得懂的。

那這之間就是一個因果關系了，互相之間就是一個因果關系了，萬事萬法都是因果，所謂的因果就是有因、種下了因，就會有果。你知道什麽叫因果嗎？

（翻譯：他說種因得果，但是對他來講，這個理解是壞的。）

我跟你講，這就是無始劫以來，從無始劫以來，這些衆生的因果而造成了一種共業，在這個世界上生存了，共同的一種業力──共業，大家共有的這種報應，好的報和壞的報、相等同的報，同時聚集在這里來了，當然有好的、有壞的。

（翻譯：他問是不是陰陽？）

不是，因果是這樣的，比如說做了某種壞事，做得相當的多，大家都喜歡做那麽一種壞事，他就相同了，然後又有另外的人，做了某種好事，也有相同了，他就累積，就是類聚群分，就分在一起了。這些都是衆生自己養成了他自己一個本質、他的本性，他自己形成了這麽樣一種個性、這麽樣一種本性，然後就變成共同有這樣一種本性，所謂的本性就是他的态度、他的行爲、他的性格，他惡不惡劣呀，就累積在一起了，這所謂的“物以類聚、獸以群分”的道理。

你們哪個聽得懂的要翻呵，我跟你們講呵，如果沒有對，要指點出來，不可以這樣的，這樣不是一個佛教徒的行爲呵。

比如說，我們這個地球，也不一定是壞的，好與壞是人爲的，是自我的心态和行爲而造成的感受好與壞，他有他非常不好的一面，但是又有他非常好的一面，爲什麽呢？這都是衆生，凡是衆生，我剛才講的，他的性都各有所具的。比如說豬，就是變成豬，所有的豬要跟豬攪在一起，狗跟狗攪在一起，狼跟狼攪在一起。比如說貓，貓生來它只會跟貓網在一起，它生來就喜歡抓老鼠的，這就是它的本性。狗生來就喜歡保護自己的主人，所以凡是外面的人來，狗都喜歡要叫、要攻擊他。豺狼虎豹生來就是要吃生命的，包括Coyote，也喜歡吃小貓小狗啊。

（翻譯：他說動物它們不是邪惡的。）

不，動物跟人是一樣的，不能說人是邪惡的，人，有很多人是非常好的，但也有邪惡的人。

（翻譯：他說他相信，但是他認爲現在這個時代，是邪惡的人比較多。）

我要講到的，聽我講。

這人爲什麽比其他的動物要厲害一些呢？我不能說叫邪惡，叫厲害，啊。爲什麽比其他的動物要恐怖一些呢？因爲人的智商高，所以人就會想出很多主意，而動物想不出來的。比如說，人輕輕就造房子了、造電燈啦，動物就造不了，由于他的智商高。那他爲什麽智商高呢？是由于他多生累劫做了很多善的功德，最後才成了人的。因此人呢，他既然智商高，他就會考慮很多好的和壞的主意出來，自然就會做出很多不如法的事，就顯得邪惡了。用一句很單純的話來說，動物它是很簡單的，所以它就想不來很多主意，其實它們的心一樣的有邪惡的，只是說它沒有辦法想出主意來對付人而已。

那麽我要說到，爲什麽這些有生命的，包括我們的人，爲什麽會變成這個樣子呢？原因是來源于他的貪嗔痴愛喜怒哀樂，來源于他的利衰毀譽稱譏苦樂，來源于他的五蘊執着塵境、執着五塵而造成的。簡單地說，就是由于自己爲了自己的利益、爲了自己的幸福，由于爲了自己的利益幸福，就執着到自己，一定要自己好，就要把别人好的拿來，就邪惡了。爲了自己的一切成就，就可以把别人一切不顧，所以就邪惡了。最關鍵的就在于有我執，我執，就是我的一種執着，一切爲我，就開始争奪利益，争奪權利，争奪工作，争奪所有一切對我好的。加上人的智商高，就會打很多主意、想很多辦法，所以就邪惡。

學佛的目的，就是不能争奪别人的東西的，要關心他人，幫助他人，關心所有的衆生，只有這樣，我們才能成爲一個沒有執着、偉大的人，而反過來，其他的人也會非常地尊敬你，覺得你非常地好，你了不起。所以修行學佛，所謂的因果啊，就是我們要先從因上不要去錯因，然後結的果就變好了。

至於我們不來這個世界，我們到哪里去？這是你剛才提到的問題。這不是你能做主的，不來這個世界、來這個世界，都不是你自己能做主的，是随到你種下的因果、随這個因果牽引，就會到那個圈子里面去，因此我不能回答你“不來這個世界，那我們到哪里呢？”比如說，我們的嗔恨心非常的大，我們非想對付别人，把他朝死里整還不饒，這個嗔恨心大得來無法想象了，像這一種，一般都會先到地獄中，最後轉到阿修羅國去，因爲是他的業力把他牽引去的，他就跟那個阿修羅同道了、同類了，他的體性。

要去的地方，我已經回答你了，是随業力牽轉去的，什麽時候牽轉呢？是在人斷了氣以後，進入一種境界，那叫中陰身境界，是在那個時候牽轉。中陰身是什麽境界呢？是我們的人斷氣了，那個時候人不能動了，身體開始冷了，血也停止、心髒全部停止了，簡單地說，就叫已經死了，那麽那個時候，你的神識照常存在的。

什麽叫神識，就是你的思想，你平常想問題的這個意識，沒有改變的，照常存在。那這個意識呢，不是像有些人說的：“人死了就沒得了，什麽都沒得了”，這是非常嚴重的錯誤，神識是不會滅的，它照常存在的，就相當于你晚上睡着，你做夢，你同樣在一個境界當中，同樣進入某一個地方、做什麽事，有情感，甚至還有笑、有哭的，什麽都有的，有悲傷，但是人并沒有動，爲什麽？因爲人已經睡着了，睡在自己的床上的，但神識已經到另外的地方了。人死了，那個神識就漂浮在一個無際空間，那個時候他沒有任何形象，而不受任何阻隔，看到一個山他都可以一穿就過去了，看到一個空，他一下就飛起來了，看到海水，他從水面上就走了，他不受任何阻隔。但是，他本人不知道他已經死了，因爲他是昏沉的，他經過一天、兩天、三天，他這樣下去，他很快就會知道他死了，他會覺得：哎，不對呀，我是不是已經死了？他就懷疑，那個時候，他掐他他也不痛，什麽都沒得了，嘿呀，他就慌了，然後再返回家一看，完了，已經沒有辦法了，回不去了，他的屍體血都已經凝了。那此時此刻，他會看到他的家人，他叫他的家人，他的家人聽不到的，只看到他的家人在那里悲傷，但是他喊他們，他們聽不見，因爲家人看不到他。就随到這個時日下去，很快他就開始要轉輪了，就說他的業力慢慢就出來，他的業力就會徹底現前，徹底現前的時間，就随着他的那個心，嗔恨心重的，就轉到嗔恨道，這個貪别人的東西貪心重的、兇殘的，就轉到餓鬼道，就開始分道了。善良的、非常和善的，就轉到天道，就是成爲天上的、到上帝那兒去了。

還有很多不同的，剛才說了六道嘛，我還沒有一個個去講的，我不想講得太細了，給你們說法說得太細了，你們聽得來也網起了。

那麽這里面還有另外一種現象，有業力很輕的人，當時一進入中陰身，他馬上就會知道他已經死了，不需要等幾天的。有的呢，他馬上就曉得啓動修法，他知道已經走了，不行了，他那個時候，他在中陰境界當中就知道修法了，所以他很快就會轉到好的輪道里面去了。

有的呢是當時知道，有的經幾小時知道，有的經一兩天知道，有的經幾天知道，有的幾十天都還不知道，所以不同等的，都是由于他所做的、種下來的善業、種下來的罪業和不同的業力而構成的他這個品質，就這個質料，曉得嗎？

那麽，從真理的角度來說，所以一個人不來這個世界，到底要到哪個世界，那不是自己說了算的，要業力來轉的，在中陰身的時間轉的。我們佛教的佛法，完全對這個問題非常清楚地可以解決，可以通過修行學佛學法，那麽做功課，來讓自己掌握自己的生死，掌握自己該到什麽地方去，那就要牽涉到學佛了，也牽涉到學法了。這些法都是我們的佛陀釋迦牟尼佛說在這個世界上的法，佛教最主要就是解決這個問題，解決衆生的生命、解決衆生的痛苦，佛菩薩們就是來這個世界，來幫助這些可憐的衆生的，來渡他們的，讓他們成就解脫。

我對你有個建議，你最好是把我的《藉心經說真諦》的英文，你好好地讀幾遍，你會明白佛法的真理的。我們會盡快把它完成，盡快完成，就會出版了，盡快。爲什麽這麽慢？是爲了要對所有的人、西方說英文的人負責，所以不敢馬虎，在翻譯的時候十分嚴格，怕翻錯了。

你的問題：“不來這個世界，那麽我們死了到哪里去？”我已經給你講得很清楚了，通過自己修行學佛，想到哪里就到哪里。我們有位高僧祿東讚法王，他是我的弟子，他就是什麽時間走，馬上還給我寫拜别文書，馬上寫完，寫完以後，最後他還寫了一個“墨迹未干，就此圓寂”，連這個寫字的墨都不要它干我就要走，就此圓寂，把筆一放，“梆”圓寂了，走了，他就到佛國去了。

另外，你要相信，這個世界，不是說這個世界的人很邪惡，不是，有很邪惡的，有很善良的，比如我們坐在這里的人都非常善良，但是邪惡的人确實太多了。我有一個弟子，是一個白人，有一天他就跟我講，他准備要幫他們辦一件事，要去找一個律師，他打了幾次電話，這個律師就沒有接，他來跟我說，他說：“佛陀師父啊，這個不行的，要重新換。”我說爲什麽呢？他說“我打去三次電話，三天，現在是上班的時間，他沒有接，說明他這個律師樓不正規，至少沒有工作人員。”另外又找一個律師，他說這個也不行，他用手機，他沒有辦公室，他這很糟糕。我說爲啥糟糕呢？他說我懷疑他們是騙子啊。我說“哪里那麽多騙子啊？”他的話就跟你講的一樣的：“嘿呀，佛陀師父啊，騙子多啊，相當多啊。”他說。我當時把眼睛都瞪大了，我問他：“真的嗎？”他說：“相當多啊。”這個弟子以前是國土安全部的，他跟我說：“相當多的騙子啊，師父啊。”所以啊，我就感覺就跟你說的話有點相同的道道，“這壞人多啊，”非常有道理。這世界啊，真的是需要趕快學習佛法了，因爲佛法一切慈悲，一切都以幫助衆生爲主，把利益盡量給衆生。當然，自己獲得的更多，因爲你善良，你種下了好的因果，你會獲得福慧資糧。

（翻譯：他說可能在幾千年之後，人類會變得更好。）

要看因果的發展，假如壞人更多的話，會變得更不好。假如壞人少了，好人多了，比如我們佛教昌盛了，那一定會變好的。而且現在真正邪惡的，各個行當都多。

那麽，我今天要說的就是，你說的這些我有體會的，這社會真是非常的可怕，很多人是非常的壞，但是也有非常好的人。

好，我今天給你講的道理大概就這些，但是你一定要看我的《藉心經說真諦》的書，這樣你會走很多捷路。

（翻譯：他跟他的太太希望能夠呈上一份非常微薄的禮物給佛陀師父，這個是從安大略、加拿大多倫多那個地方的一種冰酒，他這個冰酒非常的好，而且在一般賣酒的地方是買不到的，所以他希望這是一種合适的能夠供養佛陀師父，他們非常喜歡這個酒。）

好，首先，我非常謝謝你。第二，我必須要發自内心地告訴你，我是不要任何人的供養的，但是，只要你們修行學佛，是一個善良的人，今生能成就，能真正生死自由自己掌握，這就是給我最好的禮物。

（翻譯：意思就是說，這不是一個很大的禮物，只是一個小小的心意，希望佛陀能夠接受。）

我知道，大禮物、小禮物，我發的願是這一生只爲大家做事、爲大家服務，不要任何人的錢、不要任何人的禮物的，我發的願就是這樣的，我不想讓我這個願破掉了。我有一個建議你看好不好？你們把這個酒拿來，跟措母一路來的嘛，你們去哪個餐館里面去把它喝了，好吧？

還有一個方案，我爲了讓你們心里面也挺高興的，然後拿一個很小的杯子，給我倒一杯回來，好嗎？我會讓它來給你們作祈禱，祝福你們，好吧？

（翻譯：他們問是紅的還是白的？有紅白兩種。）

都可以的，問題都不大的，好嗎？只要你們挺高興，我就高興了。好吧？

那個佛書一定要看的，《藉心經說真諦》，看了以後你們會明白很多佛教的真理。還有另外一個，把多倫多那個地方的聞法點辦好，等今後種上了功德，我會給你們傳法，傳最好的佛法給你們兩夫妻，好吧？一定讓你們今生學到如來的正法，得到了生脫死，幫助、利益更多更多的人，讓更多的壞人變成好人。

（翻譯：他請求佛陀師父加持他的太太、他的兒子，還有他的家人。）

嗯，我會，我一定會作的。我能爲你們能做到的、對你們有利益的、能幫助的，我會盡力去做的。

The Piousness of the Husband and Wife Moved the Buddha to Invoke a Bodhisattva to Manifest in Reality

The Piousness of the Husband and Wife Moved the Buddha

to Invoke a Bodhisattva to Manifest in Reality

Buddhism appears to be very dominant in some countries in Southeast Asia. However, many Buddhists there always regard “Arhat” as the highest status of accomplishment in Buddhism. To them, Bodhisattvas who are often mentioned in Mahayana sutras such as Manjushri Bodhisattva and Kuan Yin Bodhisattva are simply not comparable to Arhats. That is why during the past thousands of years Mahayana Buddhism has never been able to propagate and spread widely in those regions. Of course, such a situation is due to karmic conditions of the living beings.

I am going to talk about a couple living in Thailand with family roots there for generations. The husband’s last name is Deng and the wife’s last name is Wang. Due to their hard working, honesty, and leading a plain and simple family life, they have long become well-known people with prominent fame in the business circle in Thailand. Meanwhile, they respectfully worship the Three Jewels, support the sangha, and engage in charities. Therefore, they are also praised by everyone as great and kind benefactors in the community. Though they possess deep root of kindness, due to the influence from some deviated views in the tradition of the Lessor Vehicle, they were unable to elevate their level of cultivation to enter deeply into the essence of the dharma principles contained in Mahayana. It was only until one day in 2004 when the karmic condition of their good fortune became mature. On that day, they were introduced by their friend to an opportunity of listening respectfully to the recorded dharma discourses expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Only at that time, did they greatly awaken to the fact that true Buddha-dharma is so extensive, broad, precious, and profound.

The dharma expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is perfect and unimpeded, presenting the wonderful truth of true-suchness openly and widely. Mr. and Mrs. Deng admired wholeheartedly. They also deeply realized that the innumerable eminent monks and great virtuous ones that they had visited and consulted before in Thailand and Burma were so tiny, low, and insignificant with their shortcomings easily seen in comparison to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Though he was very busy in his business undertaking, Mr. Deng still flew across the Pacific Ocean often to beseech teachings from H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and spared no effort in the actions of propagating and spreading the true dharma of the Tathagata. However, deep in the couples’ mind through so many years, there was always an untied knot which was, “Are there really Bodhisattvas?”

One day, the couples finally summed up their courage and begged H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III while kneeling on the ground, “Great Buddha Master, are there really Bodhisattvas? Can we ask for seeing Bodhisattvas?”

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said expressionlessly, “When the karmic condition is mature, I will satisfy your wish.”

Time elapsed day by day. Long after that, they figured that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III had forgotten what they had asked for long ago and thus dared not mention it again. Furthermore, what if Bodhisattvas did not come even when invited?

Later, they had a chat with several fellow brothers who are rinpoches one day. Only then did they learn that the house that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was living in was badly out of repair. Even the office space was just a small space next to a restroom and narrow stairs. Furthermore, the office desk was actually a very small table! They were greatly astounded after hearing the brothers’ descriptions! What was even more implausible to them was the fact that H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III worked with His own hands to create artworks, not only to make the living but also help His disciples with their resources of cultivation as well as contribute to disaster relief efforts and benefit people.

The couples were deeply moved. They immediately made a decision to present a stock holding valued at 2.5 million US dollars as an offering to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. However, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said, “I have already said that I will only benefit living beings and will not accept any offerings. Therefore, I will not accept your offering.”

Although they begged very hard and repeatedly, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was not persuaded at all and firmly refused to accept even a penny from that offering. Without any other choice, they could only transfer that stock holding entirely to the World Buddhism Association Headquarters.

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III was to determine their karmic conditions. Observing their piousness toward their Master, diligent cultivation and practice, and selflessly benefiting living beings, they truly have established undeniable merit of Bodhi. Therefore, His Holiness the Buddha decided to fulfill the wish they had for many years.

On the magnificent and auspicious day when His Holiness the Buddha was going to transmit the inner-tantric initiation, Laypersons Mr. and Mrs. Deng came to the open-air mandala at the holy site. The sky was completely clear without any cloud on that day. With beautiful green lawn, breeze blowing from time to time, singing and winging of bees and birds in the background, varieties of flowers contesting for beauty, and charming and attractive branches and shoots in the trees, the whole court was covered with splendid colors in addition to jade green.

Sitting on the Vajra dharma throne, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III said to the human and non-human disciples in the mandala, “I practice the dharma this time to invite and invoke a Bodhisattva for these two laypersons with their last names being Deng and Wang respectively. I do not have confidence! If it accidentally turns out to be successful, that would be due to the merit of Disciple Deng and Disciple Wang. However, you must absolutely pray and beseech with the most pious heart.”

Shortly after the discourse, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III immediately practiced the dharma. In less than 20 minutes, suddenly a beam of golden light flashed in the sky above. Next, countless light rays were emitted. A Vajra Bodhisattva with a height of about 16 feet suddenly appeared. The Bodhisattva was adorned with pearls necklace and looked extremely solemn and majestic, stepping on a lotus flower shape auspicious clouds of rainbow colors. In a few strides, the Bodhisattva descended into the mandala, standing in front of Mr. Deng and Mrs. Wang with a smile.

While they two were still stunned and astounded, the Bodhisattva took out the holy substance to empower them. With a finger snap, a five-colored light ray flew into the mouth of each of them. The taste was utmost delicious without comparison. They both felt relaxed and uninhibited throughout the body. An auspicious state manifested over the entire mandala at the holy site. Only then did the Vajra Bodhisattva merge into the brightness in the sky and disappear.

While everyone was still deeply enjoying the dharma joy and calming lightness occurring just moments ago, Mr. and Mrs. Deng excitedly described the personal feelings and experience that just happened to them, with hand gestures as they spoke. They two were extremely moved and bowed repeatedly to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.

They saw a Bodhisattva! They truly saw a real Bodhisattva descending before them to meet with them! This is not a dream state and much less an illusory image. Though several years have passed, what really made us awaken is: Then, who is the Master who is living right before us and whom we follow closely to learn from? Good heavens! Have you forgotten? He is the supreme teacher of Bodhisattvas and Mahasattvas in the ten directions and even of all Buddhas! He is really the genuine incarnation of the holiest ancient Buddha in the dharma realm – Dorje Chang Buddha!

How fortunate living beings in the current dharma-ending era are to be able to meet this opportunity of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III descending to this earthly world. This is the great matter indicating the maturing of good fortune stemming from the karmic conditions since the beginning-less time. I sincerely, wholeheartedly, and eagerly hope that sentient beings in the six realms of the three spheres can all hear the dharma expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, to attain in the current lifetime perfect good fortune and wisdom, freedom from birth and death, holy status of liberation, and realization of great enlightenment!

Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!

阿不問法第三十二集：我們這個世界能夠創造‘’人間淨土”嗎？

2026-08-262026-08-26 yushanmeng發表留言

阿不問法第三十二集：我們這個世界能夠創造‘’人間淨土”嗎？

這天，阿不聽到有人說某法師說要創造人間極樂淨土，對此阿不存疑，我們這個五濁惡世會被某些人創造出吉祥幸福的世界？於是向師父求知見。合十恭問：師父，我們可以創造人間極樂淨土嗎？

師父：阿不，我曾經恭聞佛陀恩師南無羌佛說法而得知，凡夫是創造不了大眾聖境世界的，只能依教法而入修，創造個人的聖境世界。萬法皆因果，當下的娑婆世界是眾生因果業力集聚的五濁惡世，它充滿著完整的生老病死苦，是眾生償還多生累劫業力的世界，而淨土世界是思衣得衣、思食得食，無有任何痛苦的極樂世界。任何一個人都不可能把我們的世界改變成人間淨土世界，眾生要想進入淨土世界，就要虔誠地修行、修法，這才是菩提正道。

阿不：請師父說得再詳細一些。

師父：釋迦世尊無量大慈大悲，當年為什麼不把這個世界變成人間淨土呢？還要等到現在讓某法師來改變成人間淨土？難道釋迦世尊不慈悲嗎？難道他會眼睜睜地看著眾生受苦？

因為這是眾生的因果所致，即使是佛陀也無法把當下的娑婆世界變成人間淨土世界，因此，那些持有此類觀點的人，從善業的角度說這是他們慈悲眾生的願想。但從法義上來講，這就是邪知邪見，我們要依法不依人，不能因為這些法師等顯得多麼關心眾生、多麼慈悲，就可以認可他們的邪知邪見。學佛修行最重要的就是知見要正。

阿不：是！

師父：對於一個凡夫來說，無論他用什麼方法創造什麼人間淨土世界，都是空說，因為他根本不瞭解整個世界的無常變異，所謂故所以力求於善則鞭導於群，如果一個凡夫都能左右世界由凡轉聖，就不需要等彌勒菩薩到這個世界來圓滿龍華會了，所以說凡夫之法僅能施以人天之善而已，故所以說創造什麼人間淨土，只不過是想當然耳。

阿不：是的！凡夫是沒有這個能力改變這個世界成為淨土的啊！

師父：嗯，有許多稱之為佛教人士的出家人和在家人，要創造什麼佛國世界、人間淨土，結果善意地弄了一輩子，自己生死都不能了脫，到了晚年，生老病死全部占全了，解行超人的氣味一點也沒有聞到的，更何況施予他人，所以我們不能脫離佛菩薩經教去創造凡夫新教，佛陀的目的是度化眾生，讓眾生脫離輪回之苦，凡夫世界就是凡夫世界，任你用什麼方法去創造它、去修改它，還是凡夫世界！因此還得等彌勒菩薩成為佛陀時，我們這個凡夫世界才能在南無彌勒如來的無上正等正覺圓滿下，轉人間五濁惡世成為佛國淨土，那時大眾的聖境世界才會出現。

阿不：阿彌陀佛！

佛陀說法《什麼叫修行》讓我反思

佛陀說法《什麼叫修行》讓我反思

通過學習南無第三世多杰羌佛說法《什麼叫修行》，我真是受益匪淺！

之前總以為自己一直在學佛修行的路上，而且每次和師兄師姐們交流的時候都會大言不慚地說自己雖然學佛不精進，但是一直在修行的路上。但是通過這次深入學習佛陀說法《什麼叫修行》，我突然間意識到自己原來距離“修行”二字還差得不止十萬八千里。

佛陀說：“在修行中要時時落實菩提心的修持，因為菩提心是成道之根本。”，“菩提心的真實之義是必然成道之因”，“凡真修行者，無論凡聖，均有權發菩提心，也應該發菩提心。”

捫心自問：我有過這種菩提心嗎？我真正地接引過他人來學習佛陀正法嗎？答案是：我沒有！我突然發現到目前為止，自己還沒有真正成功接引過一個人來學習如來正法！我總認為自己學佛時間不長、還沒修學好，所以在眾人面前甚至在自己家人面前我都沒有足夠的底氣去告訴他們我正在學佛的事情，生怕有人問我有關佛教、佛學、佛法的問題時，我答不上來而下不了臺。

今年元宵節那天，姐姐、姐夫兩人居然談論起學佛的事情來，姐夫說學佛是一種信仰，是自願的，姐姐在一邊也好奇地問我：“要是我也學佛的話，我能變好嗎？”雖然我感覺到姐姐、姐夫對學佛開始感興趣了，不管他們是想讓自己身體健康起來，還是想讓自家孩子學習進步有出息，不論他們什麼想法，與以往不同的是，這次他們居然能夠主動和我交流起學佛的事情來。我心裡挺高興的！可是，結果我只說了兩句，就不知道怎麼往下說了，我說：“學佛，對自己又沒有什麼損失，有什麼不可的？學佛是真的能改變自己，肯定會越來越好的。”

然後我就不知道應該怎麼把這個話題說下去了。

後來我也一直在反思自己：我為什麼接引不到身邊的親人們都來學佛呢？看到和我在一起學習佛陀正法的師兄師姐們，他們好多都是一家子一起學習佛陀正法，想到師兄姐們一家人能夠在一起禮拜佛陀，一起恭聞南無第三世多杰羌佛說法的法音，那該有多麼幸福啊！我一直不停地問了自己好多個為什麼！最後我終於明白，最主要的原因是我自己一直都還沒有真正走上學佛修行道路，成天吊兒郎當的，想怎麼痛快怎麼來，何談學佛？何談修行？真是太慚愧了！

通過共修學習南無第三世多杰羌佛說法《什麼叫修行》，讓我悟到自己距離真正的學佛修行差得太遠太遠了，當我學習佛陀說的八基正見和雙運七支菩提心法，按照佛陀說法的每一行條來對照我自己時，就發現自己沒有真正做到！比如說，佛陀講到如何觀無常，我卻總是觀不起來，更是生不起無常實相來；再比如說，佛陀說“三界六道眾生無始以來於輪回轉折中皆我父母。”我問自己，我能夠把所有眾生都看成是自己無始以來的父母嗎？我也是不能的，我現在見到不喜歡的人也還是會時不時地出現厭惡的心情，見到不喜歡的動物也不會多看一眼，見到那些死去的小生命更是沒有半點憐憫的心，這哪裡是真正的修行？

在此，我深切地懺悔自己由於恭聞佛陀說法的法音太少或聞聽佛陀說法時基本都是在走過場，再加上學習佛陀的法著甚少，從而使我從根本上就不明白佛陀說法的義理，才導致自己一直以來所謂的學佛修行其實就是不明佛法義理的形式主義，在真正明白了這個道理之後，我決定要從當下做起，做一個真正的修行人，以佛陀為楷模，依照八基正見和雙七支菩提心次第修持，真正按照佛陀教戒去實際行持！

阿不問法第三十一集：只憑念佛就能往升西方極樂世界嗎？

阿不問法第三十一集：只憑念佛就能往升西方極樂世界嗎？

前邊，阿不知道了有不少南無羌佛的弟子，因修南無羌佛傳的佛法往升去了西方極樂世界，有的還是阿彌陀佛、觀音菩薩親自來接的，實在是太殊勝了！但阿不平時裡看到好多的學佛人在念阿彌陀佛聖號，還聽這些人說《佛說阿彌陀經》有說，只要臨命終時念十句阿彌陀佛聖號，就能往升西方極樂世界，甚至有的法師說，只要一心念佛就決定往升，但對於這個事，阿不覺得困惑，一方面佛菩薩從來沒有半點妄語，但自己見過一些平時念佛號很虔誠的學佛人往生時，只是拿著說某人死後身體柔軟，就代表往升來說事，就是沒有見到過一個有殊勝的景象和燒出一些堅固子，或是舍利花來的，到底他們有沒有往升呢？還是自我安慰？於是阿不合十向師父求知見。合十恭問：師父，只憑念佛就能往升西方極樂世界嗎？

師父：恩師南無羌佛在《藉心經說真諦》這部法中是這樣說的：念佛啊，關鍵還是得把行為修好，如果說你是一個心性善良的好人，勤修十善，念佛雖然很少，那麼你的善因積聚到臨命終時，念一聲阿彌陀佛，阿彌陀如來也會把你接到西方極樂世界！阿彌陀佛祂曾經說的，臨命終時，念十聲阿彌陀佛一心不亂，即能接到西方極樂世界，我說的是念一聲就要接去，因為我深深知道我們是修行人，並不是念佛人，行正了，只要以內緣之法一引就到了，因此，一切依于修行而起用。

阿不：原來先要做個心行善良的好人啊！

師父：嗯，佛陀恩師說，我們眼前看到很多，有的人修行修了一輩子，念佛佛珠都捻爛多少串，到最後什麼成就都沒有，有的人的心境行為非常好，隨便教他一個淨土宗的法馬上解脫，你連擋都擋不住，道理就在如何修行，我這個人講的修行首先就注重的是無常心、出離心、四無量心、六度四攝、等等法門，嚴守戒律。阿不，聽到沒有?只有嚴守戒律，把無常心、出離心、四無量心、六度、四攝、十善修好了，佛菩薩依于因緣隨緣教你一個淨土宗的法，你馬上就成就了。

阿不：師父，原來修行是根本啊！修行是不是就像造車，車造完整了，司機在駕校學會駕駛方法並拿到駕照，你就可以開車到目的地了。而當我們修行到位了，佛菩薩一教我們佛法，只要我們如理如法地修，就可以有相應的受用境界。

師父：是這個理，只憑念佛往升不了，要如法落實真佛法，真實修行才能成就。

阿不：感恩南無羌佛說法，南無阿彌陀佛！

Buddhist Koan- Elder Monk Xu Yun Tamed General Genyuan Li Who Wanted to Demolish Temple and Destroy Buddhism

Buddhist Koan- Elder Monk Xu Yun Tamed General Genyuan Li Who Wanted to Demolish Temple and Destroy Buddhism

By Zhengjian Li

General Li Genyuan was the commander of the Yunnan New Army at that time. He had studied overseas in Germany before returning to China and was a young and energetic general. He regarded himself a strong believer of science and perceived Buddhism as superstition. He wanted very much to have Buddhism removed. Because of that, he came up with the excuse that there were tens of thousands of monks in Mount Jizhu and they might organize armed resistance. Therefore, he personally led his troops to Mount Jizhu. On their way, the several thousands of officers and soldiers were demolishing temples and arresting monks.

When Elder Monk Xu Yun, abbot of Zhu Sheng Temple in Mount Jizhu, heard about this, he decided to come down from the mountain in person to persuade Li Genyuan to stop. When Li Genyuan saw this thin yet spirited elder monk who had his long beard hanging down, noticing Xu Yun’s uncommon grace and peaceful and calm manner, he was spontaneously startled, “Oh! This is Xu Yun. He does have a little uncommon demeanor!”

Li Genyuan harshly shouted, “I want to catch you. Now you even dare send yourself to me! Maybe you label yourself as not fearing death. Let me ask you, how many lives do you have?”

Xu Yun kept his head up and replied calmly, “Great Commander, I, Xu Yun, have only one life. Also, I am not any hero or brave man who does not fear death. I am just a monastic person. Today, I do not shy away from your killing weapons and risk my death to meet you, Great Commander. My purpose is to beseech an order from you, Great Commander, to save Buddhism. I ask you, Great Commander, to immediately stop demolishing temples and destroying Buddhism.”

“Are you really not afraid of death?” Li Genyuan had a cold smile.

Xu Yun did not have the slightest fear on his face and smiled gently and calmly, “I, Xu Yun, have made up my determination to die for Buddhism long ago. If, before my death, you, Great Commander, can give me an opportunity to state my cause clearly and stop doing damages to Buddhism in the future, I am willing to die.”

Li Genyuan spoke coldly, “You answer me first. You kept saying wanting to die for Buddhism and tell me not to destroy Buddhism. Let me ask you. What benefit does Buddhism have?”

Xu Yun replied with a smile, “The Buddha established Buddhism to advocate great love and great compassion, serve the world and benefit the population, and broadly save living beings from suffering and hardship. Buddhism persuade and transform people in the world to do goodness and remove evil, cultivate conduct and virtue, and save oneself as well as others. Buddhism first teaches people to cure their minds. The mind is the source and origin of all afflictions. Once the origin is correct, all things can be in serenity and peace will be everywhere. The world will be calm and peaceful.”

Li Genyuan’s face turned a little milder, “I admit that you have good eloquence of debate. However, what is the use of these statues sculpted with mud and carved from wood? These statues lead people into superstition for nothing!”

Xu Yun stated calmly, solemnly, and respectfully, “The Buddha spoke about the appearance of Buddha-dharma. The appearance is to express the dharma. Not expressing with appearance, the dharma cannot be publicized. The Buddha statues made of sculptures are to symbolize the Buddha’s solemn elegance and loving compassion, to let people generate homage, confidence, and respectful fear from viewing. Without respectful fear in mind, people will do all kinds of malicious acts, thereby creating calamities and upheavals. Even if we just talk about customs in the world, examples are Confucius’ statue in his temple at Mount Ni, an ancient person named Ding Lan carved wood statues of his parents to repent for not being filial enough earlier, worshipping ancestors in ancestral temples by all clans in China, and bronze statues seen in all Western countries. All are for the purpose of letting people view and generate respect and faith. Buddha statues are sculpted with mud and carved from wood. However, what we respect and pay homage to are not the materials of earth and wood. Rather, we respect and pay homage to the symbolized Buddhas and Bodhisattvas with great love and great compassion. As a result, thoughts of all kinds can develop in the mind to induce us to save ourselves and save others. The enthusiasm of respect and faith arises from seeing Buddha statues. The merit and effect are inconceivable!”

Li Genyuan nodded, “It does sound reasonable, hearing what you said. However, my mind does not submit to that. You monks talk about cause and effect and talk about samsara (transmigration). These superstitious views and concepts are elusive without bases in science. I studied science and military in the West. I despise these old superstitions the most. That is why I am determined to uproot them. I would like to hear how you can skillfully argue about that.”

Xu Yun smiled, “First, I need to explain what superstition is. The so-called superstition refers to blindly following and obeying without clearly understanding the truth and knowing the ultimate reason and, moreover, without distinguishing good or bad and upright from evil. Examples are, killing people to sacrifice for evil deities, slaughtering cattle, sheep, chicken, duck, or other lives to worship ghosts and gods, presenting gold and silver to bribe and beg ghosts and gods for blessing wealth, engaging in sexual misconduct to please demonic ghosts and demonic deities, using ghosts and deities as excuses to raise money with selfish purposes, mocking ghosts and deities to carry out despicably intolerable malicious conduct or direct people to do things violating loyalty, trust, and benevolence, teaching people to steal, rape, and kill, teaching people to commit fraud and extortion, and encouraging cruelty and disorder. All acts of these types belong to superstition! If a faith teaches people with loyalty, filial act, benevolence, and love, advocates faith, trust, and peace, praise and spread etiquette, firmly cultivate humility, promote great love and great compassion of Buddhism, broadly save living beings to leave suffering and hardship to arrive at bliss and peace, teach people in the world to help and support each other with loving compassion, use loving compassion, benevolence, and virtue to teach and transform the world, pursue goodness and break away from malicious deeds, and take refuge in correct teaching and abandon evil dogmas, how can superstition come from such correct faith and correct wisdom?”

Li Genyuan quietly listened and the cruel and offending expression on his face gradually disappeared. He said, “Elder Monk, these statements are truly reasonable! However, you did not explain cause and effect and samsara clearly. These do not agree with science!”

Xu Yun said, “The so-called science is the accumulation and investigation of the wisdom and knowledge of humanity. The approach is inheriting from the past and developing the future, knowing the past to probe the future, and using what is known to investigate and validate the unknown. The learning from such investigation and validation never stops or stays at the same place. People must quest and probe incessantly. Only that is the true spirit of science! The scientific knowledge at the current time is of course greatly advanced from that of the ancient and middle ages. However, does that mean there is nothing unknown already? Does that mean we have completely understood all subtleties and secrets of the universe?”

Li Genyuan said, “Of course we have not been able to do that yet.”

Xu Yun smiled, “Sutras of Buddhism already studied the genuine knowledge exhaustively several thousand years ago. It has been known that the universe never ends through all lifetimes. Matters in existence will annihilate and will be reborn after annihilation, in different shape and state. It is just a process of transforming between different form bodies. On the other hand, only in the current era, Western scientists stated the law of matter’s conservation. Buddhist sutras stated the world’s continuity and living beings’ continuity long ago. These agree completely with the law of physics of the universe. Why do you say the concept of samsara is not scientific?”

Li Genyuan asked, “What do these have to do with samsara and cause and effect?”

Xu Yun said, “The law of cause and effect is the law and principle governing the cycle of the universe! All things must first have the causes of birth and annihilation and then have the consequences. This is the cycle from the law of cause and effect! All sentient beings have wisdom and power of consciousness. After the death of the physical body, the power of consciousness still exists, which is the soul that worldly people talk about. A person who cultivates, practices, and carries out good conduct has a concentrated mind and calmed spirit and knows to go toward goodness and avoid calamity by instinct. Focusing the mind to chant Amitabha Buddha’s name will let one to know about going to the World of Ultimate Bliss. If this person practices good conduct, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will naturally come to receive him. Conversely, if a person has done a lot of malicious acts and evil deeds and has a surly, hostile, and unkind mind nature, then his conscience is closed and his wisdom is also all lost. That means his power of consciousness and soul also got lost. Moreover, because he does not know chanting the Buddha’s name, he will naturally devolve. With a muddled head and not knowing the direction, he can only follow his karmas to transmigrate and cannot get out. Consequently, he has to suffer life after life and also has to pay back for his earlier malicious acts. This is the law and principle of the universe. Things all have coming and going and undergo the never-ending cycle. What is unscientific in the law of cause and effect and samsara?”

Hearing this, Li Genyuan was horrified. He was sweating all over but felt chilling to the bone. He was extremely moved and said sincerely, “Elder Master Xu, hearing this speech from you is more beneficial than studying in school for ten years to me, your disciple! I, your disciple, studied overseas in the West and only learned some skin-deep and hair-thin science. I really do not know the profound principles of the universe and even absurdly wanted to destroy Buddhism! From listening to your teaching and discourse, I am now completely clear. I ask you, Elder Master Xu, to allow me to take refuge before you to become a Buddhist disciple!”

Xu Yun smiled, “Great Commander, please get up. Since you, Great Commander, have become clear and have the determination to believe in Buddhism, this shows you, Great Commander, still has a very deep root of goodness and can realize the truth quickly. However, please first develop more opportunities to get close to Buddha-dharma and let real faith develop in your mind and become firm and unmovable, the matter of taking refuge can be talked about after that.”

Li Genyuan immediately said, “Elder Master Xu, please do not call me, your disciple, great commander anymore. Even though you, Elder Master Xu, do not want to accept me as your disciple today, I, your disciple, have already submitted to you in my mind. Please call me by name directly.”

In that evening, Li Genyuan gave the order to light up candles to talk with Xu Yun at night about the principles of Buddhism. From the clear manifestation of the law of cause and effect to the inter-webbed net of karmas, consequences of karmas and karmic conditions, the continuity of the world, the continuity of living beings, and other fundamental principles of Buddhism, and to the profound axioms in Buddhist sutras, Xu Yun introduced the profundity of the universe. Li Genyuan was completely convinced and had full admiration. They spoke until after midnight and were very high-spirited.

Li Genyuan sighed, “Without hearing Elder Master Xu’s earnest teaching and explanation today, I really do not know the fact that the principles of Buddhism and Buddha-dharma are so broad, great, and profound. I now have the complete faith and submission! I am determined to take refuge in Buddha-dharma.”

The next morning, Li Genyuan personally guarded Xu Yun to return to the temple. Wearing his military uniform indicating a general’s rank, Li Genyuan led the horse in person. Xu Yun, who was 72 years old, was sitting on the horse. They slowly walked to the temple’s gate. Behind them were several dozens of horse-riding guarding officers. With the shining Sun, golden light appeared from the mountain. Starting from the mountain top and coming downward, trees and grasses were covered with golden color. The scene of the entire mountain shining golden light was extremely splendid and solemn.

七夕，到底浪漫在哪裡？

2026-08-192026-08-19 yushanmeng發表留言

七夕，到底浪漫在哪裡？

（1）

在我有記憶時就知道七夕。

夏季,太陽剛落下，各家把門口泥土地面打掃乾淨，灑一遍水，把竹床擺在門口。晚飯後，孩子們在竹床上玩耍，大人們收拾完廚房，洗澡後，也出來納涼。

媽媽坐在竹床邊搖著芭蕉扇，我期待的講故事開始了。百聽不厭的是牛郎織女的故事，媽媽指著滿天星星，告訴我哪顆是牛郎星，哪顆是織女星。那長長的一條白色是銀河，是王母娘娘用一根金簪劃出來的，為的是把牛郎織女隔開，只允許他們每年見一次。喜鵲們幫他們搭好橋，讓他們從隔河相望到鵲橋相見，這就是七夕節的由來，也叫鵲橋相會。

我每晚都盼著天快黑下來，那時候星星最亮，媽媽不知道我的小腦袋裡想的是，今天能否看到織女？她是否和我想的那樣美？她織的錦有多漂亮？媽媽始終沒有告訴我，他們後來怎麼樣了？

心裡裝滿了故事，腦子裡有對未知的渴求，無論當時物質怎樣匱乏，有夢就有遠方，那是童年的浪漫。

（2）

2006年5月20日，七夕節被中國列入第一批非物質文化遺產名錄，它是中國文化的美好象徵。此後，每年的“七夕”就成為了中國人的情人節。

特別強調，情人節跟婚外情無關！別誤會，更別想歪了。“情人”是指兩個單身的、相愛的人，無論天上地下的芸芸眾生，都是在這個前提下祝願“有情人終成眷屬”。

織女和牛郎被銀河隔開，夫妻分離、骨肉分離，只能望“河”興歎，他們的浪漫在哪裡？難道在“兩情若是久長時，又豈在朝朝暮暮”裡？這是詩人的無可奈何！相愛為的是相守，而不是分離！世俗夫妻追求的是“執子之手，與子偕老”，一起變老是此生的浪漫！

（3）

天上人間的眾生，如果沒得遇真佛法，都只能在輪回中輾轉受苦。

牛郎織女只有愛別離苦，求不得苦。那時的織女雖為天仙，但因沒脫離輪回，依然在六道中，依然是仙家有苦人不知。

仙人呂洞賓貴為上八洞金仙，但黃龍禪師卻說他是“守屍鬼”，“任你八萬四千劫，終究落空亡”，給他傳了“言語道斷，心行寂滅”的頓悟之門，頓超直入大圓滿境地的佛法。他才當下頓悟，所以才有生天人轉極樂世界的緣起。

（4）

人們說浪漫，是歌頌讚美牛郎織女對愛情的堅貞！

更多的是在這個節日裡，有屬於自己的浪漫，比如，求婚成功，告白對方，消除誤會，重溫美好，增進了感情……

但是，如果剛經歷了生離死別，如果正在一地雞毛裡掙扎，如果正在養老院孤獨地等死，如果正在病房裡呻吟，還會關注這個節日嗎？還會想著浪漫嗎？

所以，浪漫與否，不在節日，在心境和認知。凡夫俗子，都是心隨境轉嘛。若能知相而不著相，如如不動，心不隨境轉，就能超凡入聖。

祝願每個人一生都能浪漫快樂！更祝願人人離苦得樂。

After Generating Great Compassion in Mind, Master Asanga Was Able to Meet Maitreya Bodhisattva

Master Asanga was born with uniquely deep talent and wisdom from his past lifetimes. When studying sutras and commentaries, he was able to understand the meaning with a quick reading. Later, he practiced meditative concentration and became free of desires. He repeatedly thought about the “meaning of emptiness” but was unable to deeply understand and explain it. He was quite unhappy for that. An Arhat named Pindola-Bharadvaja heard about his difficulty and came to him to teach “the Small-Vehicle (Hinayana) School’s view of emptiness.” Then, he practiced contemplation according to the teaching and achieved a deep understanding. However, Master Asanga was still not satisfied after learning the Small-Vehicle School’s view of emptiness because he still did not have perfect answers for many doubts and questions he had.

At that time, the teaching of Mahayana Buddhism (the Large Vehicle) was available from Maitreya Bodhisattva. However, to receive Maitreya Bodhisattva’s teaching in person, one must successfully enter into the state of concentration. Due to his urge to quest for the dharma, Master Asanga longed for the opportunity to meet Maitreya Bodhisattva in person to be taught with the dharma. Therefore, he chose a mountain cave in a sparsely populated area and began practicing cessation and contemplation diligently.

As time was flowing away continuously, six years elapsed. Master Asanga still was unable to see Maitreya Bodhisattva while practicing concentration in the cave. A thought came up in his mind, “If it is impossible to see Maitreya Bodhisattva, I should just give up!” Thus, he decided to take a break from cultivating and practicing in the cave. He put on his regular clothing and walked out of the cave. On his way of coming down from the mountain, he saw a white-haired elder lady, who held an iron stick and was laboriously grinding it on a flab of stone. The scene caught Master Asanga’s attention.

“Elder lady. May I ask what you are doing?” Master Asanga asked.

“Oh, I am grinding this iron stick into a thin needle.”

“You are grinding it into a thin needle?” Master Asanga was very much astonished and also greatly moved. He thought, “This elder lady was willing to grind it day after day with a seemingly silly movement. In contrast, as a cultivator, I could not adhere to practicing true Buddha-dharma to pursue wisdom.” The arising of this extremely precious thought caused Master Asanga to introspect himself and generate humility in mind. Then, he returned to the cave to devote himself into the difficult and hard cultivation and practice once again.

During the next three years, Master Asanga still did not make any achievement. Another thought rose in his mind, “Why should I waste time? It is simply impossible to see Maitreya Bodhisattva!” So he again broke his practice in retreat and went down the mountain. This time, he met a person, who was using a feather to scrub an enormously big rock. Master Asanga asked that person what he was doing. That person said, “This big rock blocks sunlight. I am grinding it to make it smaller, so that sunlight can shine into my room.” Upon hearing that, Asanga was alerted and began to introspect himself, “This person can be so unyielding in doing such a ridiculous thing. Comparing to him, I am so ashamed. I receded from my determination just because of a small setback!” With regret he again returned to his retreat chamber in the mountain.

Thus, another three years passed. Master Asanga was still unable to see Maitreya Bodhisattva appearing. At last, he receded from his determination once more. With discouragement, he left the retreat chamber again. On the way of coming down from the mountain, he saw a dying old dog, whose body had already begun to rot. The wounds were totally covered by maggots that were diffusing an awful stench. Compassion rose in Master Asanga toward this dog. He cut off a piece of flesh from his own body to feed the dog and also intended to remove the many maggots from the dog’s wounds. At that time, Master Asanga thought, “These maggots have very tender and fragile bodies. If I use my coarse fingers to move them, they will definitely be harmed.” Therefore, he decided to use his tongue to carefully lick up the maggots to move them to an inhabitable place for them. However, those maggots really looked very terrible. Master Asanga had to kneel on the ground and close his eyes. He then lowered his body to lick the maggots with his tongue.

As he was lowering his body, Master Asanga actually felt that his tongue was touching the ground. He opened his eyes and saw that the dog was no longer there. The solemn and majestic Maitreya Bodhisattva was standing in front of him. After the moment of excitement, Master Asanga asked Maitreya Bodhisattva, “I wholeheartedly prayed and beseeched you, revered Bodhisattva, to manifest before me for the last twelve years. Why didn’t you?”

Maitreya Bodhisattva replied, “Starting from the first day when you entered the retreat and began to pray, I was with you and next to you at every moment. However, due to the obstruction by your karmic forces, you were never able to see me. Through your diligent cultivation and practice during these twelve years, most of the karmic hindrance has been purified. Additionally, you generated great compassion in the occasion that just passed. Now all your karmic hindrance has been removed. That is why you can see me now! If you do not believe what I said, you can carry me on your shoulder and walk around at the market to see if people can see me.”

Thus, Master Asanga carried Maitreya Bodhisattva on his shoulder and walked to the market. While walking, he yelled to people, “What do you see that is on my shoulder?” People all thought that he had mental problems. They laughed and said, “There is nothing!” Only one old lady said that he was carrying a dog with scabies. Thus, Master Asanga was totally convinced and free of any doubt. Uncommon respect and faith rose in him toward Maitreya Bodhisattva.

After meeting Maitreya Bodhisattva, Master Asanga politely sought teaching from the Bodhisattva. Maitreya Bodhisattva asked, “What do you want to learn?” Master Asanga said, “My wish is to propagate the Mahayana Dharma.” Maitreya Bodhisattva was delighted to hear that and brought him to the pure land within the Tusita Heaven. Maitreya Bodhisattva expounded to him the precious views of Mahayana Buddhism and the “Five Shastras (Commentaries) by Maitreya.” The teachings enlightened Master Asanga like pushing away clouds to see the Sun. Many doubts that he had had before were completely removed. Since then, he followed Maitreya Bodhisattva’s teaching to dedicate himself to study “the View of Emptiness of Mahayana Buddhism.” Maitreya Bodhisattva gave him a series of discourses and also explained the essence of the Mahayana sutras to him in detail. Master Asanga was enlightened from listening to the teachings and basically gained the understanding and proficiency in the sutras and shastras of Mahayana Buddhism. Later, Master Asanga also practiced the Dharma of Sunlight Samadhi. Through learning and practicing diligently, he eventually attained holy accomplishment. From then on, he was able to understand what he could not before and could forever remember all Buddhist scriptures he read. Later, he built a big lecture hall and dedicated himself to expound all Mahayana sutras to the great masses.

Master Asanga lived in the world for 150 years and made great contributions to the undertaking of widely propagating the teachings and dharmas of Mahayana Buddhism. He benefited countless living beings.
