【妙法蓮華經】
妙(miao)法(fa)(fa)(fa)蓮(lian)華(hua)經(jing),是(shi)一經(jing)的(de)(de)(de)總(zong)題。觀(guan)世音菩(pu)薩普(pu)(pu)門(men)品(pin)(pin),是(shi)一品(pin)(pin)之別(bie)目(mu)。姚秦三藏法(fa)(fa)(fa)師鳩摩(mo)羅什譯,是(shi)譯題。先(xian)講(jiang)總(zong)題,次釋別(bie)目(mu),再講(jiang)譯題。現(xian)所講(jiang)經(jing),是(shi)微(wei)妙(miao)之法(fa)(fa)(fa),難(nan)遭難(nan)遇,不輕容易(yi)聽(ting)(ting)(ting)(ting)到的(de)(de)(de)。諸位很踴躍(yue)的(de)(de)(de)來聽(ting)(ting)(ting)(ting),這是(shi)很好的(de)(de)(de),但聽(ting)(ting)(ting)(ting)時,無(wu)(wu)論(lun)懂(dong)與不懂(dong),都應(ying)(ying)當(dang)恭(gong)敬寂靜,誠(cheng)意的(de)(de)(de)聽(ting)(ting)(ting)(ting)。懂(dong)固(gu)然得到妙(miao)法(fa)(fa)(fa)的(de)(de)(de)益處,即(ji)是(shi)不懂(dong),亦只要具至(zhi)誠(cheng)恭(gong)敬心(xin),亦可(ke)得莫大之利益。因聽(ting)(ting)(ting)(ting)經(jing)功德不可(ke)量故(gu),所以(yi)大家要發慈悲心(xin)、殷重心(xin),于寂靜中聽(ting)(ting)(ting)(ting)經(jing),必能(neng)領受其中妙(miao)道,而(er)津津有味(wei)。否則,就領會不到了(le)!普(pu)(pu)門(men)品(pin)(pin),雖是(shi)法(fa)(fa)(fa)華(hua)經(jing)中之一品(pin)(pin),然可(ke)代表全經(jing),因皆是(shi)不可(ke)思(si)議的(de)(de)(de)妙(miao)法(fa)(fa)(fa)故(gu)。法(fa)(fa)(fa)華(hua)經(jing)共有七(qi)卷二十(shi)八品(pin)(pin),觀(guan)世音普(pu)(pu)門(men)品(pin)(pin),是(shi)第二十(shi)五品(pin)(pin),既非(fei)全經(jing),何以(yi)此(ci)(ci)品(pin)(pin)單行(xing)呢?因有非(fei)常(chang)靈感故(gu)。當(dang)初(chu)晉末(mo)北涼沮渠蒙(meng)遜(xun)(xun)病篤(du),醫藥罔效,曇無(wu)(wu)讖尊者謂此(ci)(ci)是(shi)業(ye)障病,必念法(fa)(fa)(fa)華(hua)經(jing)的(de)(de)(de)普(pu)(pu)門(men)品(pin)(pin),即(ji)可(ke)痊愈。蒙(meng)遜(xun)(xun)依之持誦,未數(shu)日,其病果瘥。因此(ci)(ci)單行(xing)流通(tong),而(er)各處講(jiang)解甚多(duo)。因觀(guan)世音菩(pu)薩是(shi)大慈大悲,救苦救難(nan),廣大靈感,與我娑婆世界的(de)(de)(de)眾生,緣(yuan)深緣(yuan)熟故(gu),無(wu)(wu)人(ren)(ren)不知(zhi)曉(xiao),無(wu)(wu)人(ren)(ren)不恭(gong)敬的(de)(de)(de)。并且(qie)有許多(duo)人(ren)(ren),感到廣大之靈驗,所以(yi)今天聽(ting)(ting)(ting)(ting)眾異(yi)常(chang)踴躍(yue),連(lian)袂而(er)來。又本林因二月(yue)十(shi)九觀(guan)音誕期將屆,請講(jiang)普(pu)(pu)門(men)品(pin)(pin),誠(cheng)為應(ying)(ying)時應(ying)(ying)機之教,有體有用有事有理(li)之法(fa)(fa)(fa)。
既欲講經(jing),必先(xian)釋題(ti)。茲先(xian)講"妙法蓮華經(jing)"五(wu)字,妙法蓮華經(jing),以法喻(yu)立(li)題(ti)。佛經(jing)有七種(zhong)立(li)題(ti),所謂單(dan)三(san)復三(san)具足一。
單三者:
(一(yi))單(dan)人(ren),如(ru)佛(fo)說阿彌(mi)陀(tuo)經。
(二)單法,如涅盤經、般若經。
(三)單喻,如梵網經、瓔珞經。
復三者:
(一(yi))人(ren)法,如(ru)地藏菩(pu)薩(sa)本愿經(jing)。
(二)人喻,如如來師(shi)子吼(hou)經。
(三)法喻,如妙法蓮華經。
具足一(yi)者(zhe):如大方廣佛(fo)華嚴(yan)經。本經屬法(fa)(fa)喻(yu)立(li)題,妙(miao)(miao)法(fa)(fa)是(shi)(shi)法(fa)(fa),蓮(lian)華是(shi)(shi)喻(yu)。因妙(miao)(miao)法(fa)(fa)難解,借蓮(lian)華為(wei)(wei)喻(yu)。妙(miao)(miao)法(fa)(fa)者(zhe),其法(fa)(fa)妙(miao)(miao)不可言(yan)。法(fa)(fa)是(shi)(shi)什么呢(ni)?所謂山河大地,世界國(guo)土(tu),依正果報,世出(chu)世法(fa)(fa),色法(fa)(fa)心(xin)(xin)(xin)法(fa)(fa),雖萬象森嚴(yan),然(ran)要言(yan)之,不外佛(fo)法(fa)(fa)、心(xin)(xin)(xin)法(fa)(fa)、眾生法(fa)(fa)三(san)種。這三(san)種法(fa)(fa),原(yuan)無(wu)差別,故稱妙(miao)(miao)法(fa)(fa)。何以無(wu)差別呢(ni)?請先明我(wo)人(ren)(ren)(ren)之心(xin)(xin)(xin)在哪里。常人(ren)(ren)(ren)不明,恒(heng)將胸腔內的心(xin)(xin)(xin),指(zhi)為(wei)(wei)吾人(ren)(ren)(ren)之心(xin)(xin)(xin),其實這是(shi)(shi)五臟之心(xin)(xin)(xin),非真心(xin)(xin)(xin)呀!因這種心(xin)(xin)(xin),是(shi)(shi)肉團心(xin)(xin)(xin),又是(shi)(shi)集起心(xin)(xin)(xin)、分別心(xin)(xin)(xin)、妄想心(xin)(xin)(xin)。一(yi)旦死(si)后腐化(hua),就(jiu)不能思量分別,是(shi)(shi)緣慮心(xin)(xin)(xin)故,不是(shi)(shi)我(wo)人(ren)(ren)(ren)的真心(xin)(xin)(xin)。
須知(zhi)我人(ren)的(de)真心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin),是遍虛(xu)空,包法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa)界(jie)(jie)(jie)。楞嚴(yan)所謂(wei)十(shi)方虛(xu)空,在我心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)內,如(ru)(ru)(ru)同片云點太清。試看一(yi)切萬法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa),皆(jie)(jie)從(cong)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)生(sheng)(sheng),所謂(wei)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)生(sheng)(sheng)則種種法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa)生(sheng)(sheng),心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)滅則種種法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa)滅,上至四圣,下至天堂地獄,皆(jie)(jie)從(cong)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)所有,可知(zhi)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)外無法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa),心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)即(ji)是萬法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa)之本(ben)體(ti)。如(ru)(ru)(ru)明白了這個道(dao)(dao)理(li),則心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)悟妙(miao)理(li)虛(xu)空小(xiao),故(gu)(gu)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa)甚(shen)妙(miao),叫做妙(miao)法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa)。又須知(zhi)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)中惡(e)念起,即(ji)僅一(yi)念生(sheng)(sheng)滅,已(yi)是變(bian)成(cheng)(cheng)地獄、餓(e)鬼、畜(chu)生(sheng)(sheng)三惡(e)道(dao)(dao)之因(yin)。一(yi)善(shan)念生(sheng)(sheng),便(bian)生(sheng)(sheng)天人(ren)阿修羅三善(shan)道(dao)(dao)。念空,便(bian)成(cheng)(cheng)二(er)(er)乘(cheng)。念慈(ci)悲平等,即(ji)成(cheng)(cheng)佛菩薩。所謂(wei)十(shi)方世界(jie)(jie)(jie),都從(cong)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)有。以心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)具十(shi)法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa)界(jie)(jie)(jie)故(gu)(gu),事(shi)理(li)不二(er)(er)故(gu)(gu),理(li)具事(shi)造皆(jie)(jie)在一(yi)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)故(gu)(gu),所以佛界(jie)(jie)(jie)眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng)界(jie)(jie)(jie),均在心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)內,包羅萬象,有不可思議(yi)之妙(miao)。若用分別心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)即(ji)非,所謂(wei)舉心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)即(ji)錯,動念即(ji)乖,思不到(dao),尋不著,如(ru)(ru)(ru)能識得(de)此心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin),大地無寸土。
如今(jin)天(tian)這樣盛(sheng)大(da)的(de)(de)講經(jing)法(fa)會(hui),其(qi)始也(ye)是(shi)(shi)因(yin)為林內(nei)主(zhu)持人(ren)的(de)(de)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)一(yi)動(dong),就有了這么大(da)的(de)(de)法(fa)會(hui)。又如飛機輪(lun)(lun)船火(huo)車(che),一(yi)切萬物,何嘗(chang)不(bu)皆(jie)(jie)(jie)由(you)(you)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)生(sheng)而有呢?這便可(ke)(ke)證明心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)力不(bu)可(ke)(ke)思議,心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)包(bao)太虛,量(liang)周沙界。故釋迦彌陀,皆(jie)(jie)(jie)我心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)造(zao)(zao)(zao);三乘(cheng)圣人(ren),亦(yi)(yi)我心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)造(zao)(zao)(zao);六道眾(zhong)生(sheng),亦(yi)(yi)莫不(bu)皆(jie)(jie)(jie)然(ran)(ran)。所(suo)以眾(zhong)生(sheng),是(shi)(shi)十(shi)(shi)方諸(zhu)佛(fo)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)內(nei)的(de)(de)眾(zhong)生(sheng);十(shi)(shi)方諸(zhu)佛(fo),是(shi)(shi)眾(zhong)生(sheng)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)內(nei)的(de)(de)諸(zhu)佛(fo)。觀(guan)(guan)音,是(shi)(shi)眾(zhong)生(sheng)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)內(nei)的(de)(de)觀(guan)(guan)音;眾(zhong)生(sheng),是(shi)(shi)觀(guan)(guan)音心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)內(nei)的(de)(de)眾(zhong)生(sheng)。所(suo)謂(wei)是(shi)(shi)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)是(shi)(shi)佛(fo),是(shi)(shi)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)作(zuo)佛(fo);是(shi)(shi)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)是(shi)(shi)菩薩,是(shi)(shi)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)作(zuo)菩薩。只要有修(xiu)有作(zuo),皆(jie)(jie)(jie)可(ke)(ke)成佛(fo)成菩薩了,故曰(yue)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)妙(miao)。若迷昧本心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin),便為天(tian)、人(ren)、阿(a)修(xiu)羅、地(di)獄、鬼、畜(chu)生(sheng)六道眾(zhong)生(sheng)。所(suo)謂(wei)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)具地(di)獄,心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)造(zao)(zao)(zao)地(di)獄,心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)具天(tian)堂(tang),心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)造(zao)(zao)(zao)天(tian)堂(tang),鬼畜(chu)等亦(yi)(yi)莫不(bu)皆(jie)(jie)(jie)然(ran)(ran)。天(tian)堂(tang)地(di)獄,既皆(jie)(jie)(jie)由(you)(you)自心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)造(zao)(zao)(zao)作(zuo),故曰(yue)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)法(fa)妙(miao)。眾(zhong)生(sheng)身口意(yi)三業(ye),無(wu)非煩(fan)惱(nao)作(zuo)業(ye),以致受生(sheng)死輪(lun)(lun)回之果(guo)報。然(ran)(ran)煩(fan)惱(nao)本空,即是(shi)(shi)了因(yin)佛(fo)性。煩(fan)惱(nao)原是(shi)(shi)智慧(hui),因(yin)錯用其(qi)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin),將智慧(hui)翻作(zuo)煩(fan)惱(nao)。智慧(hui)從何而來?煩(fan)惱(nao)之體,即是(shi)(shi)智慧(hui),不(bu)須外求。身口意(yi)可(ke)(ke)造(zao)(zao)(zao)十(shi)(shi)惡,亦(yi)(yi)可(ke)(ke)做十(shi)(shi)善。
楞嚴所謂生(sheng)(sheng)死輪(lun)回(hui),安樂妙(miao)常(chang),唯此六根,更(geng)(geng)無(wu)他物。吾(wu)人(ren)(ren)本(ben)性(xing),本(ben)是(shi)不(bu)(bu)生(sheng)(sheng)不(bu)(bu)滅(mie),但以虛(xu)妄因(yin)緣(yuan)和合而(er)生(sheng)(sheng),因(yin)緣(yuan)別離虛(xu)妄而(er)滅(mie)。是(shi)知從緣(yuan)而(er)生(sheng)(sheng),即(ji)是(shi)不(bu)(bu)生(sheng)(sheng);從緣(yuan)而(er)滅(mie),即(ji)是(shi)不(bu)(bu)滅(mie)。故(gu)作業原是(shi)解脫,生(sheng)(sheng)滅(mie)即(ji)是(shi)法(fa)(fa)身。故(gu)釋迦牟(mou)尼佛(fo)(fo),最初(chu)成道時,即(ji)云(yun):"奇哉,奇哉!一(yi)切(qie)眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng),皆有如來智慧德相,但由妄想(xiang)執著而(er)不(bu)(bu)證得。"是(shi)知眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng)心中(zhong)具(ju)佛(fo)(fo)三(san)德,故(gu)曰眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng)法(fa)(fa)妙(miao)。心法(fa)(fa)眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng)法(fa)(fa)既妙(miao),則五(wu)住究竟、二死永亡之佛(fo)(fo)更(geng)(geng)妙(miao)。眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng)是(shi)佛(fo)(fo)心中(zhong)的眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng),山河大地,森羅萬象(xiang),無(wu)一(yi)不(bu)(bu)是(shi)佛(fo)(fo)心中(zhong)的物,無(wu)有差(cha)別,故(gu)曰佛(fo)(fo)法(fa)(fa)妙(miao)。心佛(fo)(fo)及眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng),是(shi)三(san)無(wu)差(cha)別。無(wu)差(cha)別法(fa)(fa)是(shi)妙(miao)法(fa)(fa);此妙(miao)法(fa)(fa)人(ren)(ren)人(ren)(ren)本(ben)具(ju),各各不(bu)(bu)無(wu)。
本經普門即(ji)是無(wu)差別之妙(miao)法(fa)。是法(fa)非(fei)思量(liang)分(fen)別所能解,起分(fen)別妄想便非(fei)是妙(miao),即(ji)妙(miao)成(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)粗。如念佛(fo)念觀音(yin),念得(de)一心不(bu)亂,無(wu)思量(liang)分(fen)別,即(ji)是妙(miao)。能超凡見,不(bu)著(zhu)(zhu)有(you)(you);能脫圣解,不(bu)著(zhu)(zhu)空。超情離見即(ji)妙(miao)法(fa),若(ruo)是著(zhu)(zhu)有(you)(you)著(zhu)(zhu)空,落于凡情妄緣(yuan),即(ji)妙(miao)成(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)粗。若(ruo)無(wu)所住而生其(qi)心,離過絕非(fei)是妙(miao)法(fa)。有(you)(you)所住而生其(qi)心,即(ji)妙(miao)法(fa)是粗法(fa)。一切(qie)眾生,皆有(you)(you)佛(fo)性,佛(fo)性即(ji)妙(miao)法(fa),故人(ren)(ren)人(ren)(ren)皆有(you)(you)妙(miao)法(fa),人(ren)(ren)人(ren)(ren)皆可成(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)佛(fo)。十方三世諸佛(fo)證此無(wu)差別之妙(miao)法(fa)而成(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)佛(fo);眾生迷昧(mei),錯(cuo)用此無(wu)差別之妙(miao)法(fa),而妄起分(fen)別思量(liang),即(ji)妙(miao)為粗,成(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)苦惱眾生。
因惑作業,由(you)業感生死。如凡夫(fu)的心,一切著(zhu)有,計人(ren)我相,因致妙而(er)不(bu)妙。羅(luo)(luo)漢(han)雖(sui)了生死,但著(zhu)于空,抱消(xiao)極而(er)不(bu)度生,雖(sui)證羅(luo)(luo)漢(han),還是(shi)粗(cu)而(er)不(bu)妙。權乘菩薩,著(zhu)二(er)邊(bian),或但中,仍非究(jiu)竟,還是(shi)粗(cu)隔于妙。惟佛不(bu)著(zhu)空有二(er)邊(bian)但中,離過絕非,超情離見,證妙法而(er)無遺(yi),是(shi)為真妙。
