Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teaching asking “What does life look like?”
慧淨法師之「人生之實相」
(continued)
Master Honen said:
“As for this body of mine — regarding the precepts, I do not uphold even a single one.
Regarding meditation, I have not attained even the smallest degree. Regarding wisdom, I do not possess the true wisdom that cuts off delusion and realizes fruition…
I am a being without wisdom;
I am a being who has broken the precepts.”
“Alas! Alas! How lamentable! Why is it so? Why is it so?
Someone like me is no vessel for the Three Learnings: of precepts, meditation, and wisdom.
Is there, outside of these Three Learnings, a Dharma-gate that corresponds to my mind?
Is there a path of practice suitable for such a body as mine?”
(to be continued tomorrow)
法然上人說：然我此身，於戒行不持一戒，於禪定一不得之，於智慧不得斷惑 證果之正智……
我是無智之身也，我是破戒之身也。
悲哉悲哉！為何為何？爰如予者，已非戒定慧三學之器，此三學外有相應我 心之 法門耶？有堪能此身之修行耶？
Namo Amituofo!
