誰說淨宗不是般若 - 第179集
Who says Pure Land Buddhism is not prajñā?
一心不亂要分上中下三品，下品功夫成片每個人都可以做到。事一心不亂難，為什麼？要斷見思煩惱，事一心不亂等於阿羅漢。理一心不亂等於法身菩薩，太高了。
One Mind Undisturbed is divided into three grades, namely, upper, middle and lower. The lower grade, which is Constant Mindfulness of Amitabha Buddha, can be achieved by everyone. One Mind Undisturbed at the phenomenal level is difficult to achieve. Why is that so? Because one has to sever the afflictions of view and thought to achieve it. This level is equal to an arhat’s state, while One Mind Undisturbed at the noumenal level is equal to the state of Dharma-body Bodhisattvas which is too high.
這經上有，十九願最後，「作阿惟越致菩薩」，阿惟越致菩薩是法身菩薩，是理一心不亂。換句話說，我們念佛人是功夫成片往生，生到極樂世界就是事一心不亂，在那邊聽經修行，很快就證得理一心不亂，速度太快了，一生決定證得究竟圓滿。我們千萬不要疏忽，千萬不要把這次機會錯過。
It is stated at the end of the nineteenth vow, “They will become Avaivartika bodhisattvas.” Avaivartika bodhisattvas are Dharma-body Bodhisattvas who had achieved One Mind Undisturbed at the noumenal level. In other words, we Pure Land practitioners who are reborn in the Pure Land through Constant Mindfulness of Amitabha Buddha will achieve One Mind Undisturbed at the phenomenal level in that Land. Through cultivation and listening to the Dharma lectures there, we will achieve One Mind Undisturbed at the noumenal level in no time. The speed of advancement is too fast. We will surely achieve definitive perfection within one lifetime, so we must never miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
前面我們學過《金剛經》上的精華，「無住生心」，都在這一句佛號當中，誰說淨宗不是般若？淨宗把禪教、顯密全融攝在其中，就一句佛號。一句佛號是禪、是密、是般若、是方等、是法相、是三聚淨戒，樣樣都不缺，世出世間一切法都在這一句名號當中，念這句名號統統念到。
We have learned the essence of the Diamond Sutra before. ‘Developing correct mindfulness while the mind does not abide in anywhere’ is in this Amitabha Buddha’s name. Who says Pure Land Buddhism is not prajñā? In fact, Zen Buddhism, as well as exoteric and esoteric Buddhism, are all included in Pure Land Buddhism (i.e., in one single phrase of Amitabha Buddha’s name). So, this Amitabha Buddha’s name is Zen and esoteric Buddhism. It is also prajñā, Vaipulya (i.e., Elementary Mahayana), Faxiang and the three categories of pure precepts. Everything in this world and beyond is in Amitabha Buddha’s name, so reciting this name is reciting all.
