什麼叫禪定 - 第202集
What is called ‘meditative concentration’?
佛陀的教誨，他有他的智慧，有他特殊的理念跟方法，這是正教，教導我們一門深入，長時薰修，這一生就能成就。成就的標準是明心見性，這才算成就，大徹大悟、明心見性。禪宗叫明心見性，教下叫大開圓解，就是大徹大悟，淨土宗叫理一心不亂，也是大徹大悟。
The Buddha’s teaching has its wisdom, special principle and method. It is a proper teaching that teaches us to delve deeply into one subject and persevere with it for a long period of time, and we will succeed in this life. The standard of success is seeing into the mind and true nature (i.e., attaining Supreme Enlightenment). In Zen Buddhism, it is called ‘seeing into the mind and true nature’, while the sutra-study schools call it ‘great awakening with complete understanding’ and Pure Land Buddhism calls it ‘One Mind Undisturbed at the noumenal level.’ They all imply Supreme Enlightenment.
每個宗派名字名稱不一樣，境界完全相同，都希望一生能拿到這個境界，這個境界好比我們學術裡頭的博士班，你拿到博士學位才算成就。佛教一般眾生，一生當中能不能拿到？能拿到。佛教給你的方法，你真相信，你不懷疑，你真依照去做，你肯定拿到，那就是一門深入。你學一部經典就是一門深入，學多久？
Every school has different names for enlightenment but their states are exactly the same and they hope to achieve this state in one lifetime. This state is like the doctoral class in our academic institution. Only when you have obtained a doctorate degree can you be considered as having achieved success. Can ordinary beings achieve this state in one lifetime by practising the Buddha’s teachings? Yes, they can. If you truly believe in (without doubt) and follow the method of delving deeply into one subject taught by the Buddha, you will surely achieve it. When you focus on studying one sutra, you are delving deeply into one subject. How long should you study this sutra?
一生，一生就學這一部經典，其他的統統別學。為什麼？一生搞一樣，你的心念就一樣，就是一樁事情，容易得定；換句話說，用讀經的方法來修禪定。什麼叫禪定？清淨心裡頭沒有雜念、沒有妄想，這就是禪定。有雜念、有妄想，六道凡夫心；清淨心是真心、是佛心，平等心是佛心。
You should study it for a lifetime and learn nothing else. What is the reason? Because by learning one subject all your life, your mind is focused on only one thing, thereby making it easy for you to attain meditative concentration. In other words, you are using the method of studying sutra to cultivate meditative concentration. What is called ‘meditative concentration’? It is the pure mind without distracting and wandering thoughts. If these thoughts are present, it is the mind of ordinary beings of the Six Realms. A pure and impartial mind is the true mind (i.e., the buddha-mind).
