懂得攝心這個方法就能成無上道 - 第89集
「又《首楞嚴經大勢至菩薩念佛圓通章》云：今於此界，攝念佛人，歸於淨土。故《淨修捷要》云：大勢至菩薩，現居此界，作大利樂。於念佛眾生，攝取不捨。令離三途，得無上力。」
“Commentaries on the Suramgama Sutra: the Chapter on Perfect Penetration Through Mindfulness of Amitabha Buddha states, ‘Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva is presently living in this world to lead Pure Land practitioners back to the Land of Ultimate Bliss.’ It is thus stated in the Essential Practice of the Pure Land School, ‘Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva is currently living in this world to bestow great benefit and happiness on sentient beings who practise Buddha Mindfulness by enabling them to be liberated from the Three Evil Realms and obtain the buddhas’ supreme strength.’”
《楞嚴經》上二十五圓通是世尊為我們舉了一個例子，也算是作證轉，說明明心見性、見性成佛方法太多了，沒有限制的，任何一個法門都能成無上道。所以《金剛經》上給我們說「法門平等，無有高下」，真的，無論什麼法門都能成無上道。關鍵在人，各人根性不相同，能不能攝心，懂得攝心這個方法，無論用哪個方法都行。
The ‘twenty-five kinds of perfect understanding of the truth’ in the Suramgama Sutra is an example (which can also be regarded as an attestation) given by the Buddha to illustrate that there are limitless methods to see into one’s mind and true nature (i.e., achieving Buddhahood). Any method can enable one to attain Supreme Enlightenment. That’s why the Diamond Sutra tells us that all methods are equal; no method is superior or inferior to the other. Indeed, one can attain Supreme Enlightenment no matter what method one practises. The key lies in people because everyone has different inborn nature (innate character). If you know how to focus your mind, then any method can be used to attain Supreme Enlightenment.
- Refer to the six objects of the senses六塵, the six faculties 六根, the six consciousnesses 六識, and the seven elements七大; the Buddha’s disciples are said to have each acquired a special knowledge of one of these twenty-five and to have been recognized as its authority, e.g., Avalokitesvara 觀音 of the ear, Dignaga of sound, etc.
