神秀与慧能 Shen Xiu & Hui Neng

Terjemahan Indonesia: Shen Xiu & Hui Neng



Quoted from 神秀与慧能:

身是菩提树
心如明镜台
时时勤拂拭
勿使惹尘埃 
The body is a wisdom tree,
The mind a standing mirror bright.
At all times diligently wipe it,
And let no dust alight.

这个偈子就是五祖的首席大弟子神秀写的,大家也因此而知道了神秀与慧能的这个故事——

弘忍传授衣钵的消息并没有传到柴草房,但是神秀的偈子一出,满寺震动,大家都认为神秀的偈子写的很好,身要像菩提树一样的正直,心也像明镜台,哪怕就是这样,也仍然要逝世的拂拭,不要为世俗之尘埃招惹~~~弘忍也认同他的这种思想,认为,一般的常人,如果按照神秀的做法,也会不堕入俗尘的。


大家都在墙边微观,因此也吸引了慧能前去观看,慧能不识字,别人念给他听,他觉得很不以为然,于是当即口述一个偈子,让另一个和尚帮他写在墙上——

Translated by Lama Lotuschef - I feel the translation for this verse into English does not give a comprehensive meaning, therefore I translate this short verse as follows:-

菩提本非树 Bodhi (Buddha's Wisdom) do not originate from Tree
明镜亦非台 Bright Mirror likewise not a stage
本身无一物 Original Body does not have any matter or void of matter
何处惹尘埃 Where can attract any sentient dust to come to rest or abide? 


慧能的偈子显示了其见性成佛的工夫,直指人心,直揭心性。
禅,是人心的直悟,是心与心的交流,其智慧在于不落“实”处。
于“空”中寻求解悟

偈子一出,惊动了弘忍,弘忍看了大吃一惊,但是装坐没事一样,用鞋子将慧能的偈子擦掉,并说——写的很一般~~但是,在晚上,弘忍却将金刚经的真髓讲解给慧能听,当慧能听到——“应无所住而生其心”时,顿时开悟了。弘忍将禅宗正宗的衣钵传授给了慧能,并且告戒他说,赶快离开此地,在我死之前不能说明你是我的衣钵传人,不能弘扬你的法~~~

慧能接收了弘忍的衣钵之后,一直展开了逃亡的生涯,躲避了神秀手下僧众的追杀
(这个信物,是一件用金丝锈满了佛像的袈裟,这个实物现在还在广东韶关的南华寺里,后话)一直来到了广州。后来,听说弘忍大师已经圆寂了,于是慧能出来了~~~


在广州的法性寺,正好举办佛教的盛会,出席的僧侣大师众多,在会场休息的时候,有两个僧人指着法性寺中的幡在争执,有的说是“风动”,有的说是“幡动”,并且正直不休。此时,慧能拨开众人,说——是仁者的心在动!!!

[At an event, two monks were arguing about movement of a banner.
One said it is the Wind that moves and One said it is the Banner that moves.
Hui Neng said: It is cultivator's or Individual's HEART that is moving!]

此言一出,震惊了法性寺的方丈印宗法师,他当时已经听说了六祖南下的事情,加上听眼前这个人的话,他立即认识到了眼前的这个人,就是六祖慧能。
于是印宗拜于慧能坐下。由此,慧能开始了在岭南地区传自己的法~~~最终在广东韶关定居传法,这就是广东韶关南华寺!

Actually both are correct in their Individual Outlook!
Hui Neng has stated that there are No Right and Also No Wrong - Middle Path Viewpoint.

Both verses shows the Cultivation or Attainment Level of each Individual in their Level of Realization only.

Application of Buddha Dharma learned and put into practice only! 

Many that had read my Astral Series of articles showed utter disbelief and even scold, slander and label me as Crazy and Evil! 
Hahaha! Some, like Core and VM YC, pushed me into Mara's arms! 

From the Maha Perfection Dharma that GM Lu is sharing, do you all that had hurled insults & abuses at me and sent me into Mara's arms started to realize that what I shared is what GM Lu has been sharing with you in those Mahamudra and Maha Perfection Dharma articles he wrote?

Hahaha! If you still want to discredit me or hurt me, it is truly crucial that you figure out "Who Am I" first! 

O! you might also think this is bizarre!
Someone told me over the phone: Fashi, you........  , don't worry I won't do it.
At that instant, a vision appeared of the originator of this same statement which is not from me!
This someone created a lie and subsequently tried to cover up and put the blame of other misdeeds onto me! :)

When One starts to Lie, he/she has to churn out more to support their previous lies!
Eventually Lies only hurt the Originator!

Same thing when I received emails, reading through the contents, the author and all fellow conspirators appeared in my vision, Owning up to the parts they contributed! 

O! You think you can Run? 
But you can't hide from your own deeds or karma!

Remember the Student that wrote to GM Lu, and said that now you have a successor, it is time for you to retire.
Truly, when GM Lu read the contents, the whole group of leader and fellow conspirators were on stage acting out the parts they contributed to! 

Hahaha! Bizarre? 

Sorry to tell you, Not Bizarre at all! 

The 5 type of Eye that a Buddha has and the 5 Buddha's wisdom, can very accurately see, read, hear, reach,... you; where ever you may be! 
No sentient being can escape a Buddha's eye! :)


Cheers all.
