    • 須菩提。於意云何。可以三十二相觀如來不。須菩提言。如是如是。以三十二相觀如來。佛言。須菩提。若以三十二相觀如來者。轉輪聖王則是如來。須菩提白佛言。世尊。如我解佛所說義。不應以三十二相觀如來。爾時世尊而說偈言

       

      若以色見我    以音聲求我

      是人行邪道    不能見如來】

       

      須菩提!於意云何?可以三十二相觀如來不?

       

      前文第十三分,謂可以三十二相見如來不?今文則云可以三十二相觀如來不?前文用見字,後文用觀字,於是有人言,觀字與見字意義不同。

       

      其實恐怕無如此分別。我們雖不知原文如何,但菩提流支譯本,前文後文均用「見」字。義淨三藏譯本,前文後文均用「觀」字。可能只有羅什大師,有如是分別罷?!

    • Why do we de-emphasize on hearing nd seeing the Tathagatha ?

      becos its very misleading

      If there is a form which Tathagatha can be seek,arent we going the deviant path?

       

      looking at modern Cult like Aum Shinrikyo .... Their leader wants to stay prominent after failed prophecies

       

      Buddhism never look at Form... we look inner and reflect upon

       

      May the merits of creating such enlightening verse ,transfer to the darkest corner of the suffering of hell, hungry ghost, wandering ghost , animal and human realm

      Together we realise the Great Emptiness ,towards Nirvana ...

    • 顿悟无生般若颂


      作者: [唐]神会


        [简介]
        唐代禅宗典籍。唐神会撰。又名《显宗记》。
        这是一篇以偈颂时形式宣扬南宗顿教旨义的说佛理诗。虽然文字不多,但对以无念为宗的南宗禅法也有简赅明晰的表述。是研究神会思想的重要资料。


        无念为宗,无作为本;真空为体,妙有为用。夫真如无念,非想念而能知;实相无生,岂色心而能见?无念,念者即念真如。无生,生者即生实相。无住而住,常住涅槃;无行而行,即超彼岸。如如不动,动用无穷;念念无求,求本无念。菩提无得,净五眼而了三身;般若无知,运六通而弘四智。是知即定无定,即慧无慧,即行无行。性等虚空,体同法界。六度自兹圆满,道品于是无亏。是知我法体空,有无双泯。心本无作,道常无念。无念无思,无求不得。不彼不此,不去不来,体悟三明,心通八解,功成十力,富有七珍,入不二门,获一乘理。妙中之妙,即妙法身;天中之天,乃金刚慧。湛然常寂,应用无方。用而常空,空而常用。用而不有,即是真空,空而不无,玄知妙有。(妙有)则摩诃般若,真空即清净涅槃。般若通秘微之光,实相达真如之境。般若无照,能照涅槃。涅槃无生,能生般若。涅槃般若,我异体同,随义立名,法无定相。涅槃能见般若,具佛法僧。般若园照涅槃,故号如来知见。知即知常空寂,见即直见无生。知见分明,不一不异。动寂俱妙,理事皆如。理净处事能通,达事理通无碍。六根无染,定慧之功。相念不生,真如性净;觉灭心空,一念相应,顿超凡圣。无不能无,有不能有,往住坐卧,心不动摇,一切时中,空无所得。三世诸佛,教指如如,菩萨大悲,转相传受。至于达摩,届此为初,递代相传,于今不绝。所(传)秘教,意在得人。如王系珠,终不妄与。福得智慧,二种庄严,解行相应,方能建立。衣为法信,法是衣宗。衣法相传,更无别付。非衣不弘于法,非法不受于衣。衣是法信之衣,法是无生之法。无生既无虚妄,法是空寂之身。知空寂而了法身,而真解脱。

    • 【显宗记】

        一卷。唐·荷泽神会著。全称《荷泽大师显宗记》。收在《景德传灯录》卷三十、《全唐文》卷九一六。据传本书是作者在天宝四年(745),于滑台为北宗禅者攻击时所著,主要叙述南宗顿悟之旨,并论述传衣在禅宗传承中的重要性。

        全篇为六六○字之短文(参见附录一),内容大体以《金刚般若经》之“般若空智、应无所住而生其心”为立足点,并承继后秦·僧肇之《般若无知论》、《涅般无名论》,以及六祖慧能《法宝坛经》中《定慧第四》之思想。

      because hearing and seeing fall into the category of 五蕴,  you looking for something real by something false, of course cannot be done.

      And again it mention attachment, buddhist cannot be attached to hearing or seeing, the disciple of buddha 阿难, is attracted by buddha's 32 sign of perfection, then because he is attached in the first place, he have even break the precept of missexual conduct, seduced by a 天女.

      so we need to stay still, not shattered by distraction. Reside on 正心, 直心. Stay our mind away from pollution.
