空假中三觀的智慧
  在這世界上,有一種特殊無上的修行出世大法,這大法就是「坐禪通明法」,這是超出世間的第一等祕密。
In this world, there is a very special "Leave World" cultivation method, this is [Sitting Zen Linking Brightness method], top class secret that surpassed this world.

修者祗要一步一步的做去,總有一天!
Cultivator only need to do it step by step, one final day!

會領悟到世間的真理,到時候自然一切明白,一切明瞭,對於佛門的「空」、「假」、「中」三觀也自然完全透徹。
Will realised the Truth of the world, at that time naturally all understand and comprehend, as to Buddhism's [Void], [False], [Middle] these 3 vision or view will also be naturally clear.

  我們人類,甚至四聖六凡的十法界,都可以看成「空」的世界,因為生老病死的現象,並沒有生命能戰勝無常,這都是一剎那的事,若依存在主義來說,我若不存在,這四聖六凡十法界就不存在了,所以一切法皆空,一切一切的諸般有形都歸於「空」。
Us Human species, even the 10 dharmadhatu of 4 saint 6 sentient, also can be view as [void] world, because of phenomena of Birth Aging Illness Death, no life form can be victorious against Impermanence, these are all in an instant type of matter, if adhere to Principle Truth then if I don't exist these 10 dharmadhatu of 4 Saint 6 Sentient will not exist, therefore all are Void, all types of forms all categorised as [Void].

所以佛的偈語是:「諸行無常,是生滅法,生滅滅已,寂滅為樂。」
Thus, Buddha has this verse: All deeds are impermanent, is birth-destruct method, birth-destruct already destructed, solitary destruct as Happy.

  佛門的修行,先有一問,云何應住?
Cultivation in Buddhism, first need to ask a question, how to settle this?

  佛答:「不住於相而修六度萬法」。
Buddha answered: Not abiding in Forms and cultivate numerous dharma of 6 paramitas.

這就是離一切相,了悟天地真空,從無住相立一切法,而無法可得至無言可說。
This is to leave all forms, realise that Heaven-Earth's true void, from not abiding in forms erect all dharma, also no dharma to be had to nothing to be spoken.

就是金剛經裡面的,應無所住行於佈施,佈施時並不能有我施的功德之想,無人相,無我相,無眾生相,無壽者相,四相皆空,這就是修「空觀」。
This is the [Void View] from Diamond Sutra of achieving non abiding in dana, dana must not have form of merit for self as in No Form of Human, Self, Sentient Being, Others, all 4 forms are void.

  佛門修行,又有一問,云何修行?
Cultivation in Buddhism, also have a question, how to cultivate?

  答案是修假觀,觀一切相如夢幻泡影,用不取不捨的態度去修行。
Answer is to cultivate False view, viewing all forms as bubble dreams, using Not taking Not giving up type of manner to cultivate.

這就是非空非有的假立一切法,我們曉得宇宙山河大地,
This is false erection of [Not Void Not Exist] method, we all know about Universe Mountain River Great Landscape.

離不了「成住壞空」四個字,
Can't leave [formation, existence, destruction, and emptiness] these 4 words, 

所以一切的形象自然都是假相,就以人來說,人是「地、水、火、風」四大的假合,
therefore all forms are naturally False form, take the Human for example, human are [earth water fire wind] 4 great false combination.

祇要無常一至,這四大就壞了,
When impermanence arrives, these 4 great will spoil,

這人本身就是個假貨,
Human body is fake goods,

而我們修行的本旨,卻要在這假上立一切法,
and our basic cultivation directive attempt to erect all dharma here, 

次第的修行,無相無作的在假上安住,
Cultivate in stages, No form no action type of abiding in this falsehood,

最後「借假修真」而超出成壞之間,這種修法就叫「假觀」。
Finally [borrowing false to cultivate real] and surpass from within [formation, existence, destruction, and emptiness], this type of cultivation is termed [False view].

  佛門修行,最後又有一問,云何攝伏(draw or attract and suppress or settled) 其心?

  佛答曰:「修中觀生清淨心。」
Buddha answered: Cultivate the Middle View to give rise/birth to clean and pure heart.


這就是佛的偈語:「因緣所生法,我說即是空,亦名為假名,亦即中道義。」
This is Buddha's verse: Dharma birth from Affinity, I said is void, and name as false name, and is meaning of Middle Path.

這中道的意義是一種非凡的領悟,正是超出時光隧道的,統合了一切法,過去、未來、現在,三心皆不可得,即身自性得慧身,也就是中道實相的得證。

  這中觀之法,簡而言之,是「攝念澄心,撥迷歸覺,識自有心,顯自本性,而超出生滅。」

我對於三觀的見解是
My views on the 3 Vision/View:

  空觀是一種智慧觀。
Void view is a vision of wisdom.

  假觀是一種往生觀。
False view is a vision of demise/death.

  中觀是一種自性觀。
Middle view is a vision of self nature.

  例如:

  密行屬智、奢摩他、空門、真如歸性門。這是(空觀)。

  一乘密法,三摩提,有門,修行門,隨相門。這是(假觀)。

  一乘密意,禪那,住世亦空亦有菩提門,唯心門,出世非空非有涅槃門,無礙門(中觀)是也。

  這中觀又有一偈曰:

  因緣所生法,不生亦不滅,

  不斷亦不常,不來亦不去。

  不一亦不異,息滅諸戲論,

  敬禮佛所說,寂靜微妙法。

  一般來說,坐禪之人,三觀要先觀空,看一切物皆是空的。再用假觀,雖知其是空,但在空中建立一切修法,這就是在空中修假身,至於明知是空是假,但不著萬法,不毀萬法,這就是中觀了。有人說,修空觀是看得空才得力,故空固空,假亦空,中亦空。若修假觀,是用上得力居多,則假固假,空亦假,中亦假。修中觀的,也修空觀,也修假觀,實不必言也。

  蓮華生大士曰:「修空觀,五蘊悉如幻。」
Padmasambhava said: Cultivate Void view, 5 senses as if imaginary.

  這就是,色如光之幻,受如浮游的泡沫,想念如同奔馳的風,行如同野馬,識是五大空夢。要修到妄念妄行妄色妄受妄識,全部歸於泯滅,那就變成虛空清淨。

  蓮華生大士曰:「修假觀,離四大相。」
Padmasambhava said: Cultivate false view, leave 4 great forms.

  這就是,無我相,無人相,無眾生相,無壽者相,若遠離了四大相,就遠離了生滅相,自然是返染還淨也。

  蓮華生大士曰:「修中觀,攝心內證。」
Padmasambhava said: Cultivate Middle view, draw heart to affirmation internally.

  把一切的空性,一切的假性,流入法性之中,此即是不染萬境,而真性常自在,這就是於假離假,於空離空,深得真空無相之妙,稱為自性清淨成佛。

  我記得我在國內的時候,曾經向一位大德法師請教「三觀」的真實義,那位法師在國內也算是宗主的身分,但,他的回答,祇是表面的一層而已,無法深入演說「三觀」的真實義。原來法師的境界若未得坐禪三昧的,是無法去深入體會「三觀」的,要體會「三觀」的真實義,並不是文字上的解釋,而是深入坐禪三昧,得一切大成就者才能解釋得之。

  在西雅圖的時候,有位法師從洛杉磯來找我

  「特來請示三觀的真實義?」

  「你何不問你的師父?」我反問。

  「師父也不明白,我問了半天,師父哭了,說他自己也不明白。」

  「何不問其他師父?」

  「也問了,但,我哭了,因為他們的回答,我不明白。」

  「為什麼反來問我這俗家!」

  「因為月中一夢,見一位老婆婆來告知,盧勝彥在西雅圖,何不去找他,我在夢中問老婆婆是誰?結果老婆婆化身成一道彩虹,彩虹之上立了一位觀世音菩薩,正是觀世音菩薩指點而來,故特請教『三觀』的真實義?」

  **我告訴出家法師說:「六根七竅光明藏,其實是一藏,神光和天心原來是一物,三觀其實是一觀,這是為了方便修行才設的一觀三節。

一般法師不進入坐禪三昧,是無法深入明白的,
most reverends that do not enter sit zen samadhi won't be able to deeply understand,

表面上修佛法的形式,將不會有什麼效果,
outward appearance of cultivating buddha dharma, will not have any effect or result, 

一定要得坐禪三昧才可 (Must Sit Zen Samadhi then can)。」**

  法師問我:「如何得坐禪三昧?」

  「我將寫一本『坐禪通明法』,你仔細修學,自然通曉三觀的大智慧也。」

GM Lu the recounted a meeting with a reverend who came from Los Angeles.
The reverend seek answers to [the 3 visions] because his own guru don't know, and some others' answers the reverend failed to understand.]

Hahaha! 

GM Lu's answer to the reverend **...** (bold and underline).

Please do your own translation and research for this whole article. :)

This a a good way to learn from GM Lu! 

Some keys here:
Start with the 6 Paramitas - in which Boddhicitta is a major factor.
Must Cultivate by stages or step by step!
[borrowing false to cultivate real] 
outward appearance of cultivating buddha dharma, will not have any effect or result, 


Cheers all
