沒有見思煩惱就沒有六道輪迴 - 第267集
The Six Realms of reincarnation will not exist if we have no afflictions of view and thought.
「蓋謂佛法藏為法性之理體。法性含藏無量之性德，故名佛法藏。又法性中含攝一切佛法，故名佛法藏。是故入佛法藏即《法華》中善入佛慧，通達大智之義」，跟這個意思相同。這個智慧，智慧的體、智慧的相、智慧的作用都是自性裡頭本有的，不是從外面來的。
The annotation states, “Dharma Store is the fundamental substance of the true nature. The true nature contains infinite merits, so it is called ‘Dharma Store.’ The true nature also contains all Dharmas, so it is called ‘Dharma Store.’ Hence, ‘thoroughly understanding the Dharma Store’ has the same meaning as ‘comprehending the Buddha’s wisdom and mastering the great wisdom’ in the Lotus Sutra.” The substance, characteristic and function of wisdom are innate to the true nature and not obtained externally.
佛在《華嚴》上說得很清楚、很明白，「一切眾生皆有如來智慧德相」，這就統統包括了，智慧、德能、相好。諸佛如來所有的，一切眾生統統都有。為什麼？一個自性，是自性本具的。佛覺悟了，破迷開悟，他自性裡面智慧德相透出來了。
The Buddha had said it very clearly in the Avatamsaka Sutra, “All sentient beings are replete with the wisdom, virtuous abilities and fine appearance of the Tathāgatas” --- all sentient beings are replete with everything (i.e., wisdom, virtuous abilities and fine appearance) that buddhas have. What is the reason? Because these qualities are innate to the true nature, which is one. Buddhas had ceased delusion and achieved enlightenment, so their innate wisdom, virtuous abilities and fine appearance are revealed.
凡夫在迷，自性裡面智慧變成煩惱，德變成了業，造業，相變成了六道輪迴，變質了。是不是真的變了？真的沒有變，變是虛幻的，不是真的，真的一點都沒有動。但是你完全不能覺察，是在你面前，你有眼看不見，有耳聽不到，有身體不能接觸，它並沒有離開你，這叫迷。
Ordinary beings are deluded, so their innate wisdom, virtuous abilities, and fine appearance had become afflictions, karmas and the Six Realms of reincarnation respectively. In other words, their innate qualities had degraded. Had they really degraded? No, anything that is real will not change (those that change are illusory and not real) and move at all, but you are totally unaware of them even though they are in front of you; you cannot see them with your eyes, neither can you hear and touch them with your ears and body even though they never left you. This is called ‘delusion.’
只有佛菩薩，他們有善巧方便幫助我們破迷開悟，幫助我們好像在夢中醒過來。醒過來之後覺悟了，夢中境界完全沒有了，所以夢中是假的。夢中這個虛幻的東西，千萬不要執著，決定不能放在心上。放在心上，那個夢還要繼續做下去；不放在心上，夢就會醒過來，道理就在此地。
Only buddhas and bodhisattvas have the expedient means to help us cease delusion and achieve enlightenment (i.e., help us wake up as if we are in a dream). Once we awake from our dream, we are enlightened and the realm of dream will disappear altogether. That’s why dreams are illusory. Please do not be attached to and retain the illusoriness of dreams in your mind because if you do, that dream will go on. If you don’t, you will wake from your dream. The truth lies here.
一切要放得下，連身體也放下，連我們想法看法統統放下，沒有一樣是真的，自性清淨心中沒有想法、沒有看法，想法是思煩惱，看法是見煩惱，想法是思煩惱。六道輪迴就是從見思煩惱裡頭建立的，沒有見思煩惱就沒有六道輪迴。
We must be able to let go of everything, even our body, opinions and views because none of them is real. Opinions (i.e., afflictions of thought) and views (i.e., afflictions of view) do not exist in the true nature and the pure mind. Since the Six Realms of reincarnation are established from the afflictions of view and thought, these realms will not exist if we have no such afflictions.
