念這句佛號十方諸佛同時加持 - 第272集

People who chant this Amitabha Buddha’s name will be supported simultaneously by all buddhas in the ten directions.

他又說，「阿字真言，十方佛心，諸佛法身，同所加持」。這個真言，十方諸佛之心，一切諸佛的法身都加持你。這什麼意思？菩薩修行到等覺，破最後一品生相無明的習氣，向上提升是妙覺。

Great Master Ri Xing (Nikko)^[1] added, “The letter ‘a 阿’ which is the True Word (i.e., mantra)^[2], is the true mind of all buddhas in the ten directions. People who chant this True Word will be supported simultaneously by the Dharma body of all buddhas.” This True Word (i.e., mantra) is the true mind of all buddhas in the ten directions, so by chanting this True Word, you will be supported by the Dharma body of all buddhas. What does this mean? After eliminating the final part of their habituated tendencies of nescience, bodhisattvas who have attained virtual enlightenment will further ascend to the stage of marvellous enlightenment.

妙覺到哪裡去？妙覺到常寂光去了，就是等覺菩薩證得妙覺這個時候實報莊嚴土沒有了。這給我們說明實報莊嚴土是自性本具的，能大師說，「何期自性，本自具足」，實報土本自具足的。這個時候一提升，回歸自性，自性是常寂光。常寂光裡面沒有物質現象，沒有精神現象，就是沒有起心、沒有動念、沒有分別執著，什麼都沒有，也沒有自然現象。

Where will these bodhisattvas go to? They will go to the Land of Eternally Tranquil Light. So, the Adorned Land of Real Reward will disappear when the virtually enlightened bodhisattvas attain the stage of marvellous enlightenment. It tells us that the Adorned Land of Real Reward is innate to the true nature. As Great Master Hui Neng said, “Who would have thought that the true nature is originally complete in itself!” Once these bodhisattvas ascend to the stage of marvellous enlightenment, they will return to the true nature (i.e., the Eternally Tranquil Light) whereby physical, mental (i.e., thoughts, discrimination and attachments) and natural phenomena do not exist.

我們做個比喻，我們這個房間有十幾盞燈，燈一打開就入常寂光，入常寂光之後是什麼樣子？光跟光融在一起分不開，這就叫「諸佛法身，同所加持」。只要一入常寂光，所有一切諸佛的光跟你合在一起。所以，《華嚴經》上說，「十方三世佛，共同一法身」，法身是什麼？法身就是常寂光，常寂光就是法身。

Let’s use a metaphor: our room has dozens of lights. You have entered the Eternally Tranquil Light as soon as the lights are turned on. What is it like after you entered the Eternally Tranquil Light? All the lights are blended together and cannot be separated. This is called ‘being supported by the Dharma body of all buddhas simultaneously.’ As long as you have entered the Eternally Tranquil Light, the lights of all buddhas will merge with you. That’s why it is stated in the Avatamsaka Sutra, “All buddhas in the ten directions and in the three periods of time share the same Dharma body.” What is Dharma body? It is Eternally Tranquil Light and vice versa.
