十方一切諸佛成佛的方法是什麼 - 第223集
What is the method used by all buddhas of the ten directions to attain Buddhahood?
念頭有極其微細的念頭，那叫根本無明，我們不知道，那個念頭能生萬法。那我們善惡邪正的念頭可以把自性所現的這個萬物把它改變，改變什麼？改變成十法界。
There are extremely subtle thoughts in each thought called the ‘fundamental ignorance.’ We do not know their existence, but these thoughts can produce myriads of phenomena. Hence, our wholesome and unwholesome thoughts, as well as deviant and proper thoughts, can change the phenomena manifested by the true nature. What changes can our thoughts make? They can change the phenomena into the Ten Dharma Realms.
要知道十法界是假的，決定沒有，六道輪迴不是真的，是我們念頭變現出來的，善念變三善道，惡念變三惡道，三善道、三惡道都是自作自受，與任何人都不相干。
We must know that the Ten Dharma Realms are illusory and definitely do not exist. They are manifested by our thoughts (i.e., with wholesome thoughts manifesting the Three Good Realms, and unwholesome thoughts manifesting the Three Evil Realms). Both good and evil realms are created by ourselves and have nothing to do with anyone, so we alone have to suffer the karmic consequences.
那別人逗我，讓我生氣，讓我發脾氣，我墮地獄去了，他害我的。不是的，他來引誘你、逗你，你為什麼接受？你可以不接受。像佛菩薩一樣，佛菩薩不接受，佛菩薩看到要引起自己煩惱，他一句對付他就化解了，「凡所有相，皆是虛妄」，不接受，假的。
For example, is it true that others have harmed and caused me to fall into hell when I got angry and lost my temper because of them teasing me? No, it is not true. Why did you accept their teasing in the first place? You can ignore it. Buddhas and bodhisattvas will not accept it. When they see things which annoy them, they would use this phrase to deal with it: everything with form is illusory (unreal). Knowing that everything is illusory, they resolved the teasing by not accepting it.
善的境界不接受，不造三善道的業；惡的事情不接受，不造惡道的業。善惡統統不造，他就出了六道輪迴；染淨的分別都不造，他就出離十法界，回到一真法界。
By ignoring wholesome and unwholesome things, you neither commit karmas of the Three Good Realms nor karmas of the Three Evil Realms, thereby enabling you to transcend transmigration within the Six Realms. By not committing the defiled and pure karmas, you can transcend the Ten Dharma Realms and return to the One True Dharma Realm.
諸法之本原是一真法界，我們今天是從一真法界，用我們善惡的念頭變現出現前的境界，或者還繼續變現來生的境界、後世的境界，三途六道。善惡念頭沒有了，六道輪迴沒有了；染淨念頭沒有了，十法界沒有了。
The One True Dharma Realm is the origin of all phenomena. From the One True Dharma Realm, we have today manifested the present realm or are still continuing to manifest the Six Realms or the Three Evil Realms in the subsequent lifetimes with our wholesome and unwholesome thoughts. When we have no wholesome and unwholesome thoughts, the Six Realms of reincarnation will disappear, and when we have no defiled and pure thoughts, the Ten Dharma Realms will disappear.
牢牢的記住這個事實真相，這要不是佛陀的慈悲，我們怎麼會知道？這是宇宙的奧祕，知道了要會用，那你真正得佛法的利益。你看，不用善惡，六道沒有了；不用分別、不用染淨，十法界沒有了。讓我們在這一生當中回歸自性，回歸一真法界，諸佛如來的實報莊嚴土。
We must remember this truth. If not because of the Buddha’s compassion, how can we know this? After knowing this mystery of the universe, you must know how to apply it in life. Then, you will really derive the benefits of Buddhism. You see, the Six Realms will disappear once we stop giving rise to wholesome and unwholesome thoughts, and the Ten Dharma Realms will disappear once we stop discriminating defilement and purity, thereby enabling us to return to our true nature (i.e., the One True Dharma Realm or the Adorned Land of Real Reward of all buddhas) in this life.
這個是人人可以做得到，這個是真的，其他的全是假的。我們今天用什麼方法來做？這個方法妙絕了，十方一切諸佛成佛方法，第一奇妙的就是念佛。
This is achievable by everyone. Other than this matter, everything else is illusory. What method do we use today to achieve Buddhahood? We use the Buddha-name chanting method, which is the first marvellous method used by all buddhas of the ten directions to attain Buddhahood.
