Da Yin Chapter - Dharma Speech


http://www.tbsn.org/chinese2/talk.php?classid=46&id=1450&keyword=&page=0

Summary Translation from Excerpt of Guru’s speech:-

Yesterday someone asked: How big is a prajna light orb? Buddha nature! When the lotus opens at the Heart Chakra, therein lies one’s Buddha Nature or also termed as Vajra Spot. Actually Buddha said before: Big without exterior and small without interior. Big as in whole universe lighted; small like a grain of rice, or a circle. The Light orbs we captured with camera are rounded circles like a white snooker ball. As long as the Heart is steadfast, the Buddha Nature or Prajna Light orb can be big or small.

Similarly the Vajra screen is as big as the universe. The universe is actually full of Buddhas and Boddhisattvas, each one transforms into your Principal and all of them shouting out to you : You can see your Buddha Nature already! Or You already enlighten and found your Buddha Nature!

At this time, your form will disappear as you have merge into the Buddhas and Boddisattvas, all of them become you, transform into your face. These are the finest details.

There is another point, human beings impregnate for 10 months. Buddha nature needs 10 months of studious meditation to incubate. Each incubation requires Heart/Mind or Will and Qi/wind energy to merge as One.

If at this juncture you are contented with revealing your Buddha nature and do not wish to succor sentient beings, then you can discard your shell and break free to enter Nirbana, this is Hinayana’s Arhat.

Mahayana requires Boddhicitta, making a Boddhicitta wish to succor sentient beings, one need to lots of Sambhogakaya and Dharmakaya to transform to lots of Nirmanakaya to succor sentient beings.

Actually I said previously that for each replica of Vajra spot needs 10 months, however, after the 1^st one,  you can use your Heart and Qi to replicate the 2^nd 3^rd 4^th …, so do not need 10 months. There are times when the Sutra mentioned 49days, 7days. Some said that if each Vajra spot needs 10months that means about 1 a year; how many of us can live to 100 years? Deducting the years you were not cultivating, that means most can only cultivate about 10 Vajra spot and chain only. Can never see attainment of BuddhaHood. Therefore need to clarify with all. 7 Days!

Either 7 days or 49 days depending on the depth of your meditation, you can replicate Prajna Light Orbs, in so doing the Vajra chain and screen. With Vajra Screen everything is Complete and Fulfilled.

一心不亂 才能看到佛性

昨天講了金剛鏈法，談到唐僧帶著他的徒弟跟一匹白馬上天竺去取經，我也是用一個比喻來講。他們四個人坐飛機，飛機又失事了，只有三個降落傘，唐僧又出問題問三個徒弟，問孫悟空：「人有幾個頭？」孫悟空說：「一個頭。」對了，就給他一把降落傘。問沙悟淨：「人有幾個心臟？」沙悟淨講：「一個。」又給他一把降落傘。另外問到豬八戒，八戒很高興，問題都那麼簡單，一定會回答，唐僧就講：「人身上有幾根毛啊？」豬八戒沒辦法，他又要跳下去。

我的意思是，孫悟空代表瞋，就是說他脾氣最大，火性大。水代表著貪，豬八戒本身好吃又好色，像水一樣的，怎麼流水到處亂流，水往低處流，豬八戒就是水，就代表著貪。那麼沙悟淨本身可也可以、不可也可以，是也可以、非也可以，什麼都可以，就代表愚癡。貪瞋癡，加上一個意馬，意念的白馬。唐僧本人就代表著佛性。

我昨天已經跟大家講過，有人提出問題－－－－般若光到底有多大？佛性啊！心中的蓮花開放，當中有自己的佛性在，佛性是般若光又是明點光，那你看你自己的佛性，這個佛性的光到底有多大？其實佛已經講過，「大而無外，小而無內」。大，可以像虛空那麼大，全部都是光明；小，就像一粒米大小，或者是一個圓圈圈，我們相片裡面照到的般若光都是一個圓這樣子的圈圈，像snooker那個白球這樣。只要你心定了，你看到自己的般若光跟佛性，可大可小。就像有人跟我講，金剛鏈又變成金剛幕，你說金剛幕像電視，到底是幾吋？告訴大家喔！其實金剛幕像虛空一樣的大，大而無外啊！非常的大。其實整個虛空都是佛菩薩，每一尊佛菩薩都變成你的本尊，所有的佛菩薩在虛空之中跟你喊：「你已經看到佛性了」，「你已經明心見性了」，也就是證了果位。這個時候你的形體會消失掉，你已經在佛菩薩當中，所有的本尊都是你，也變成你自己的臉。這是最細的，跟大家講清楚，因為在那麼多人面前講，實在很緊張，小場面跟大家講，講的比較清楚。

還有一點，人十月懷胎而生，佛性怎麼生呢？佛性就叫禪定十個月，一樣你禪定十個月，每一次做溫養，心跟氣合一，心就是氣，氣就是心，心氣合一，溫養十個月，你就能夠看見佛性，那麼再做第二個。你如果是做第一個，說「我看見佛性就好了，我見性，我不想度眾生」，好，你自己的心氣合一以後，拋掉你的軀殼，你就解脫進入涅槃，這是小乘阿羅漢。在這裡我跟大家解釋什麼是小乘阿羅漢，你見到佛性了，你融入佛性了，你涅槃了，你就是小乘阿羅漢。大乘要發菩提心，發菩提心了以後，衪還要度眾生，衪必須要有很多的報身跟很多的法身，化身很多的應身去度眾生。這個時候你要修第二個明點光、修第三個明點光、修第四個明點光。本來講說十個月就可以產生一個明點光，第一個是十個月，第二個遞減就會再減少，因為你看見了第一個明點光以後，你可以用心氣再製作第二個明點光、第三個明點光、第四個明點光，不用十個月，有的時候是這樣子講，在以前的經典裡面有提到，四十九天、七天。因為我在這個大場面裡面講的話就十個月懷胎嘛！你十個月做溫養，看見佛性。以後你在甚深禪定之中也要十個月；有人就跟我講，那不是搞了半天，一年才一個金剛鏈，一百個金剛鏈，就活到一百歲，那你扣掉年輕時代不懂得追求佛法，又碰到老的時候比較更難修，中間恐怕只有十幾個般若光，十幾個分身而已，就只能成一條金剛鏈，看不到諸佛顯身啦！怎麼辦？必須要在這裡跟大家講清楚，七天！

比較晚一點的也沒有很進入甚深禪定，七天，或者你進入甚深禪定裡面，四十九天，你才會產生般若光，這樣子的就會有金剛幕、金剛鏈，金剛幕就非常的圓滿，這樣子就會非常圓滿。都是以七的倍數來講，像這個一百零八，是三十六天罡跟七十二地煞，變成一百零八。還有二十四，為什麼二十四呢？因為時輪金剛有二十四隻手，代表著二十四節氣。衪有象徵的，白色的就是水，紅色的就是拙火，白色的就叫菩提心月液，藍色的就是氣，這樣解釋大家了解了嗎？

都沒有辦法做一個肯定，也是不好。有一天一個精神病院的護士接到一個電話，那個人問：「小姐，你去看看十三號房第四床的病人還在不在？」這個護士講說：「請你等一下，我去看一下。」護士去看了十三號房四床的病人，護士就講：「哎呀，他真的不在了耶！」電話裡的人就講說：「那就好，看來這一次我真的跑出來了。」

所以我們要做一個肯定，肯定就是說，你到底看到光沒有，你還不一定，問師父：「我有看到光，那是什麼光啊？」問我是什麼光，就是不肯定。你不是向外面看光，而是向你裡面看光。以前佛陀就講：「要向內求啊！不是向外求。」你不能向外求，要向裡面求，這個是很重要的，你是向裡面去看，往內看而不是往外看，是觀察你自己。這個時候你的身體是空無的。最早我們密教裡面講觀想，觀想中脈、左脈、右脈，你身體是空明的；你不能想你的心、肝、脾、肺、腎，還有所有的血管、血液怎麼樣，沒有，只觀想你自己成為一個空明的，裡面有中脈、左脈、右脈。到了修這個明點下降跟拙火上升的時候，都是空明，然後心中的八葉蓮花開放，也是空明的，一個空的，虛幻的蓮花，那裡面中間有一個密氣，就是你自己的佛性，等衪顯現了光明以後，你往內看，看到光明，這個時候叫作「見性」。

明心跟見性是不同的，明心在理上，你馬上就可以證驗，而且你明心了以後會斷掉煩惱，斷掉所有的知障、一切的知障，斷掉了自我，就變成無我。明心以後，煩惱就會斷除，不管你發生什麼大的事情，煩惱統統斷除掉，都沒有煩惱。在一般人來講，修行的過程當中就是這樣子，你必須要懂得斷掉煩惱，《心經》裡面講無所得啊！因無所得故，菩提薩埵，因為無所得你才可以成就一個菩薩，無所得就是開悟當中的一項。那麼無所畏，你既然無所得了，當然什麼都無所畏了。

還有一個，無所住，為什麼叫「無所住」？我們人本身活在人間，你是住在人間，都是有所住，你為什麼會無所住呢？這個就是要讓你去想，你參透了，叫作破參，叫作開悟。為什麼無所得呢？我們都知道有所得都是虛幻，真實的是無所得。什麼是無所畏呢？因為無所得那你還恐懼什麼呢，沒有顛倒妄想。什麼是無所住呢？這個你參進去，就可以開悟。我們人是住在人間嗎？為什麼會無所住呢？這個就是要你參的地方。

昨天也幫很多的同門做福證，我就講：「當兩個人意見都一樣的時候啊！你就要聽男生的，當兩個人意見不同的時候，你就要聽女生的。」就是這樣子啦，大事由男生管，小事由女生管，其實在一個小家庭裡面，哪有什麼大事，全部都是女生管。我認為結婚，當然是喜事，喜跟不喜是摻在一起的，禍福相依啊！男生以後就知道了。男人以後九點鐘回家，女生就會罵你：「酒鬼，上哪裡去喝酒了？」男人十二點才回家，女生會罵：「賭鬼，你到哪裡去賭了？」男人到了凌晨五點鐘才回家，女生又要罵：「色鬼，你上哪裡去鬼混了？」男人哪！下班啊就回來，女生也會罵：「死鬼，這麼早回來幹什麼，是不是做了虧心事？」

所以啊！福證、福證，是福是禍，還不知道呢？我當場不好意思講，其實啊，講一些出家的這些和尚，他們都知道，還是單身的好。單身比較有時間修行。當然在家裡可以修，佛的四眾弟子，比丘、比丘尼、優婆塞、優婆夷，一樣的，都是平等，都可以修行的。事實上在環境裡面如果能夠影響一個修行人的話，那還是會有影響，如果不影響修行的話，一切都是可以的。所謂「禪」就是不受外界所影響，所謂定，就是一心不亂。要看明點光，一定要一心不亂，你才能夠看到佛性，你如果不一心不亂，你看不到佛性的，因為佛性像唐三藏一樣，被很多心猿意馬、貪瞋癡所包圍，所掩蓋。你只要清淨了，一心不亂，你自然能夠看到佛性，行深般若波羅蜜多。我昨天講這個是最難的修行方法，最難的，所謂看見佛性，所謂佛性的光明，金剛鏈還有金剛幕，所有的佛菩薩在虛空中跟你講：「你開悟了，你成就了，你成佛了。」這個時候，你自己也融入佛性當中，那個時候你就真的成就了，你就是－－－－佛，這個叫作即身成就。那麼金剛幕多大，不是像電視那麼小，而是整個虛空全部都是金剛幕，這樣子去融入虛空，就虹光化身，融入虛空你就是得證了，就是證果。

修行很難。一個父親對考試及格的兒子開玩笑：「假如我考試不及格你會說什麼？」兒子講說：「沒關係，失敗是成功之母。」父親就講要是第二次又不及格呢，兒子又講了：「不要緊，勝敗乃兵家常事。」父親又講了，第三次又不及格呢，兒子講：「老是不及格，一定是遺傳的問題。」

修行很困難，真的，我們昨天所講的是最困難的，要讓明點的水下降，要讓拙火上升，日月合璧，水火交融，然後把你的心中的蓮花給衪綻放，你才能夠看到佛性。這個講起來都很簡單，但是我在喜金剛裡面會講的更清楚，如何讓水下降，如何讓拙火上升，如何把氣修得非常的堅固、能夠通中脈，都會講的很清楚，就等於是細說啦！昨天大法會所講的就是等於扼要的講。今天就講到這裡，謝謝大家。

傳雄法師的傳就是一個輩分，所有那一屆的，差不多那一年的都是屬於傳，師父傳下來這個傳，是代表著輩分。以前有個弟子叫傳正法師，廣欽老和尚也有一個輩分，在台灣大部分是屬於「傳」。謝謝大家。

Dharma King Lian Sheng’s Dharma Speech at Indonesia’s Kalachakra VajraChain Event

Summary Translation by Lama Lotuschef

Dharma King Lian Sheng’s Dharma Speech at Indonesia’s Kalachakra Vajra Chain Event

Vajra Chain is the highest or ultimate of Kalachakra’s cultivation.

In Panama, I talked about Merging of Sun and Moon. In actual fact, Sun/Moon/Fire/Water/Yang/Ying are all included within the Merging of Sun & Moon. Alternatively termed as [Crucial mechanism/ Xuanji stop revolving] - In deep Samadhi, when almost all processes stop. In this state, it is Ying (Negative) at an extreme which is qun liu duan, this is vyupas ama [寂滅] or extreme stillness & isolation. A stream of Yang energy will appear and revive thus producing Light.

{璇璣- Xuanji – also means Northern Star Chain}

{坤六斷 qun liu duan – refers to the breaking of star chain consisting of 6 stars – means extreme negative. On days when this happened, it is not advisable to proceed with most matters.}

In Tantrayan, the most important Sun is Yang/Positive represents Fire; Water is Moon/Ying/negative. When both merge at our Heart Chakra, the chakra opens and our {life essence} within will shine. This is everlasting Vajra Spots. Vajra is everlasting steadfast and won’t be damage or altered in any way.

When the 8-petal lotus of our heart chakra opens, there is a Vajra Spot which is our True Treasure or Life Essence. With this appearance, we are enlighten and able to see our own Buddha Nature.

Within Tantric Dharma, the most important is Your heart chakra lights up and you are enlighten, understanding the Universal Meaning. This is termed as明心/ming xin – light up heart chakra.

見性/jian xing – see nature. When the 8-petal lotus opens and you can see the Vajra spot of light, this spot is your Buddha nature.

Actually to achieve Ming Xin Jian Xing is quite difficult, it is deeply profound and if we must eliminate Greed/Ignorance/Hatred/Pride and Killing/Lies/Promiscuity/Alcohol.

In Buddist philosophy, Greed/Ignorance/Hatred/Pride must be totally eliminated and also closing up your 6 senses from Eyes Ears Nose Tongue Body Mind, then one is able to see one’s Buddha Nature or Vajra spot.

Kalachakra said: the Fire in your body is Yang ; the Water / Vajra spot / Hormones is Ying. Enabling the Fire to enter the Water is Sun Moon Merge, Xuanji stop revolving.

Let us visualize Fire as a stream rising, Water as rounded object descending, the Prajna Light Orbs you see is actually the Shrine where Kalachakra or Guru, sits in the very centre with Vajra masters and reverends flanking my left and right, this is Sun Moon Merge.

The pictures whereby Prajna light orbs are captured contain a rounded shrine just like a formed shrine in the Universe, limitless or infinite. Many Prajna orbs, many shrines of Buddhas & Boddhisattvas, descending upon this place.

See and recognize this Prajna orb as it is seeing One’s Buddha Nature. Watch over this infinitely, don’t let it move/alter as it is Unspoilable Vajra spot.

The light from the Vajra spot can light up or central channel and one by one, more Vajra spots are produce. These slowly form a chain which is Vajra Chain/金剛鏈.

Employing Tantrayana’s cultivation practice, we are able to replica more Vajra spot the same way and replicate a 2^nd; 3^rd; 4^th Buddha Nature, this is termed as Transformation of Body outside of Body身外化身.

Just like Amitabha Buddha and Avalokitesvara Boddhisattva that can replicate many nirmānakāya the same way.

With the formation of more Vajra Chains, we can form a Vajra Screen with the chains placed vertically and horizontally.

The Vajra Screen consisted of many Divinities. First they appear with half a body then a full body. Coutless Divinites within the Vajra Screen and when all has appeared, they will tell you: You already attain Buddhahood.

At this moment, all the Buddhas within the Vajra Screen transformed into your Principals, when you enter the Principals, you become a Buddha.

We achieved all these through deep and studios meditation, therefore meditation is extremely important.

O! I forgot to said that your Vajra spot or Buddha nature takes about 10months to transform into Principal, with studious and diligent cultivation of meditation. Looking at the Vajra spot is just like incubating. As per Kalachakra, needs 10 months for Vajra Spot to become Vajra Chain. Kalachakra liken the process to nurturing a Holy/Buddha’s Fetus until time is ripe, just like a human fetus.

The immediate transformation into Buddha denotes True Yoga.

Therefore, we have to cultivate daily. The path of cultivation is long, we must build from the very basic foundation, diligently cultivate to eliminate Greed/Ignorance/Hatred/Pride; abide the 5 precepts; eliminate the 6 thieves and walk the 8 Fold Noble Path, 4 Noble Truths, need the 12 Affinities, Tantric Dharma, attain external and internal yoga; in the future all will attain Buddhahood.

Om mani pad me hom!

Dear all, I sincerely hope that this translation will help you in understanding the cultivation of Vajra Spot / Chain / Screen.

Happy Cultivating!!  :)
