什麼人能夠明心見性 - 第164集
What kind of people can see into their mind and true nature?
什麼人能夠明心見性？不起心、不動念的人就見性。於是我們就知道，惠能大師到黃梅八個月，他修什麼？一堂經沒聽過，禪堂一支香沒坐過，他只是在碓房裡舂米破柴，幹了八個月。八個月，老和尚五祖心裡很清楚，大概成熟了，也就是說真正做到不起心、不動念，舂米不起心、不動念，破柴不起心、不動念。
What kind of people can see into their mind and true nature? People who do not give rise to thoughts will see into their mind and true nature. So, what was Great Master Hui Neng cultivating during his 8-month stay in Huang Mei? He had neither listened to a single Dharma lecture nor had he engaged in seated meditation for even once. Throughout those eight months, he only pounded rice and split wood in the threshing floor. Having observed Great Master Hui Neng for eight months, the Fifth Patriarch was very clear that it was about time the Great Master achieved the state of not giving rise to thoughts regardless of pounding rice or splitting wood.
南陽來佛寺海賢老和尚，農耕不起心、不動念。無論幹什麼，只要能不起心、不動念就見性，這個要知道。有起心動念，沒有分別執著，這個人是菩薩；有起心動念、有分別，沒有執著，這個人是阿羅漢；起心動念、分別、執著統統都有，這個人是六道凡夫。這是修行的總綱領、總原則。想成佛，那就在所有境界裡頭不起心、不動念。
Great Master Hai Xian from Lai Fo Si, Nanyang also did not give rise to thoughts when he was farming. No matter what we do, we will see into our mind and true nature as long as we do not give rise to thoughts. We must know this. If this person has thoughts but not discrimination and attachments, he is a bodhisattva. If this person has thoughts and discrimination but not attachments, then he is an arhat. If this person has wandering thoughts, discrimination and attachments, then he is an ordinary being of the Six Realms. This is the overall principle of cultivation. If you want to become a buddha, you cannot give rise to thoughts in all circumstances.
