大乘教上隱現兩個字我們要有概念 - 第134集
We must have an idea of the two terms ‘concealed’ and ‘manifesting’ mentioned in the Mahayana teachings
自性沒有現象,我們八識緣不到,但是它真存在。自性沒有生滅,有隱現,沒有緣的時候隱,隱就是無相,無一切相,就是實相無相;它要現,眾生有感它就有現,現出來相,所以叫無不相,它什麼都能現。
The true nature has no phenomena. Even though it cannot be apprehended by our eight consciousnesses, it really exists. The true nature neither arises nor ceases, but it can be concealed or apparent. In the absence of condition, it is concealed. Being concealed is having no ‘real’ form in reality. When sentient beings have seeking, it will manifest phenomena (it can manifest everything). That’s why it is termed ‘not without forms.’
現的時候就是我們今天講的全宇宙,整個宇宙都是自性變現出來的。它現,不叫生,有生就有滅,它叫現,它叫隱,隱、現,不是生滅。現不是生,隱不是滅,大乘教上隱現兩個字我們要有概念。
The phenomena being manifested is the universe we are talking about today. The whole universe is manifested by the true nature. We call it ‘manifesting’ rather than ‘arising’ because when there is arising, there will be ceasing. It is thus called ‘manifesting’ and ‘concealed’ instead of ‘arising’ and ‘ceasing’ -- ‘manifesting’ does not mean ‘arising’, and ‘concealed’ does not mean ‘ceasing.’ We must have an idea of the two terms ‘concealed’ and ‘manifesting’ mentioned in the Mahayana teachings.
