覺從哪裡來的 - 第177集
Where does enlightenment come from?
一即一切，一切即一，大乘是圓融的，妙不可言。這一法成就了，一切法全得到了，學一，一門，得到的，八萬四千法門、無量法門全得到了。怎麼得到的？見性得到的。怎麼見性的？
The sutra states, “One is all; all is one.” The Mahayana teachings are perfect and encompassing; their marvellousness is beyond words. Once this Dharma is accomplished, all Dharmas will be obtained. In other words, by learning one Dharma method, all the 84,000 Dharma methods will be obtained. How do you obtain them? You will obtain them when you have seen into your mind and true nature. How do you see into your true nature?
得定。你得清淨心、得平等心，我們這個經題上，清淨平等是定，清淨是小乘定，平等是大乘定，用這一句名號就可以得到，真正不可思議。
You will see into your true nature when you attain purity and impartiality of mind, which is meditative concentration. As the title of this sutra states: purity, impartiality and enlightenment. Purity of mind is the lesser-vehicle meditative concentration, while an impartial mind is the great-vehicle meditative concentration. You can attain them by chanting this Amitabha Buddha’s name; it is really inconceivable!
十八願，至心信樂，這一句非常重要，至心，它沒有說誠心，沒有說真心，真誠到極處叫至心；換句話說，不但分別執著沒有了，對世出世間一切法不分別、不執著，連起心動念也沒有了。分別執著沒有了，清淨心現前；起心動念沒有了，平等心現前。
The eighteenth vow states, “Developing utmost sincere belief and joy” -- this phrase is crucially important. Note that neither sincere mind nor true mind was used here. An extreme sincerity is called ‘utmost sincerity.’ In other words, not only will you not discriminate and become attached to everything in the world and beyond, you will not give rise to thoughts too. Purity of mind appears when you have no discrimination and attachments, while impartiality of mind appears when you have no thoughts.
至心，真誠到極處，這什麼境界？大徹大悟，明心見性，就是經題後頭這個字，「覺」。他用念佛法門成就清淨平等覺，覺是大徹大悟，明心見性，這叫覺，覺就是菩提。覺從哪裡來的？覺從清淨平等來的，從定來的。平等是自性本定。
What is the state of utmost sincerity? It is the state of Supreme Enlightenment (i.e., seeing into the mind and true nature), which is this last word in the sutra title i.e., enlightenment. They use the Buddha-name chanting method to accomplish purity, impartiality and enlightenment (i.e., Supreme Enlightenment). Where does enlightenment come from? It comes from purity and impartiality (i.e., meditative concentration). Impartiality is the original samadhi of the true nature.
