八風吹不動,穩坐紫金蓮?
.
.
宋朝大學士蘇東坡是中國文學史上享有盛名的一位大文豪,然而仕途坎坷,為官時一貶再貶。當他被貶到江北瓜州時,和僅一江之隔的高僧佛印宗師,交情甚篤。
.
有一天,蘇東坡坐禪完感受不錯,覺得自己身上都泛著金光,就拿筆寫了一首五言詩偈「稽首天中天,毫光照大千;八風吹不動,穩坐紫金蓮。」東坡再三吟詠,洋洋得意。就找人送去給佛印宗師分享。
.
誰知佛印宗師卻淡淡的回了一句:「狗屁!」
.
東坡一看:「哇可惡,你竟然還罵我。」馬上撐個小船過江去找佛印宗師討公道。
.
蘇東坡趕上廬山歸宗寺,氣呼呼地要找佛印宗師算帳,那知宗師早已吩咐客堂的知客師說:今天不見客。蘇東坡聽了,火上加油!乾脆直衝佛印的方丈室來,看到方丈室的門半掩著,他正要舉手敲門,卻看到門上貼著一張字條,上頭寫著:「八風吹不動,一屁打過江。」
.
東坡看到立刻深感慚愧不已,原來自己修禪的工夫、火候還差佛印宗師很遠。
.
其實禪修無非就是在修「定力」,如果沒有「定力」就沒有穩定的心性,很難成就什麼事情。
.
今天我們就一起來《認識六度》(上)吧,探討如何培養定力,以及穩定的心性。祝福朋友們修行精進、健康、快樂、富貴、吉祥!

Sit firm on golden lotus and unmoved by wind from eight directions?

Su Dongpo was a great scholar and renowned literature writer of the Song Dynasty. But his career was bumpy with many ups and downs. During his demotion to Jianbei, Guazhou, he became a good friend to a Buddhist monk whose temple was just across the river from where he was based.
One day, Su Dongpo experienced good feeling after his meditation. He immediately penned down a poem as he felt his body was emitting golden light. He wrote: “Like an awaken one, unmoved by wind from eight directions, sit firmly on a golden lotus and emit brilliant rays from the sky.”
He felt pleased with his masterpiece and sent it to the Buddhist monk for his comment.

Unexpectedly, he received a faint note “Nonsense!” from the monk.

He was furious and immediately rowed a boat across the river to confront the monk.

When he arrived at the temple, he was told not to disturb the monk as the monk had given prior instruction to be left alone. Su Dongpo became more agitated and decided to barge directly into the abbot’s room. When he approached the room and was about to knock the door, he spotted a note on the door. It said – “Unmoved by wind from eight directions but a “nonsense” is enough for you to charged across the river”.

Su Dongpo immediately understood and felt deeply ashamed. His meditation skill and spirituality pale in comparison with the monk.

Meditation is a form of cultivation to develop fortitude. Without such unmoved mental strength, we will not be firm and we will not accomplish much in life.

Today, we shall learn about “The Six Perfections – Part 1”. Let’s explore how we can nurture our fortitude.

Wishing all a fruitful cultivation, health, happiness, prosperity and auspiciousness!

  1. 感恩师父慈悲开示与教导!禅修就是修定力,如果没有定力就没有稳定的心性,很难成就什么事情。聆听师父慈悲开示,认真学习如何培养定力和心性。感恩尊贵的师父!祝福一切有缘!

  2. 感恩上师慈悲开示八風吹不動,穩坐紫金蓮?回想自己禅修的感觉,有时类似苏大学士,那种轻松舒适的感觉让自己有些飘飘然!今天明白了原來禪修是在修「定力」,如果沒有「定力」就沒有穩定的心性,很難成就什麼事情。愿跟随上师学习培養定力、穩定的心性。愿和同修们一起精進修行!获得健康、快樂、富貴、吉祥!真诚顶礼尊贵的佛师!

  3. 感恩师父慈悲开示!禅修就是修〔定力]在日常生活,待人处事,无论遇到烦心事,冤枉事,不解释,修心的承受力。感恩顶礼师父!

  4. 感恩师父慈悲开示!弟子收到!修的是定力!谨记!以前修不知定力是什么?现在有点懂了,因修时经常走神了。弟子明白了八风吹不动!感恩师父!?叩拜

  5. 感恩师父慈悲的开示与教诲!我们记住了。要想把事情做好做大,首先把自己的定力修出来,持戒,自律,精进,在事上磨练自己的心性来达到气定神闲的境界,再碰到狂风暴雨和种种不好危难的境界时,我们还能抱着一颗平静从容的心来对待,就说明我们的功夫就修到家了。
    我们做为师父的弟子!个个都是很优秀!很出色的!只要我们每天坚持进步一点点,我们一定都能把自己修到稳如泰山定力的状态之中的。感恩师父!祝福师父!

  6. 师父,您好!謝謝师父的开示!感恩师父!
    苏东坡:
    八风吹不动,
    穩坐紫金连。
    佛印禪師:
    八风吹不动,
    一屁打过江。
    哈哈!
    八风吹不动,
    追隨我師父。

  7. 八风吹不动,好难啊。看《密勒日巴传》,密勒日巴跟他小妹说,劝他小妹随他修行,他小妹说:这八风都是人间的幸福啊。看得我就笑了起来。其所说的八风是:苦乐;贫富;毁誉;贵贱。出世修行都难,更不要说在世修行,背负着人间的情义,诸如亲情友情爱情等。要从这方面潇洒,但又兼顾,要有多大的智慧和气度。在世修行一定比出家修行成就更大,真如莲花般出污泥而不染。六祖的:是“风动幡动”的争论,最后大师说是“心动”。“八风吹不动”,也即是“幡动”,但最终是“心动”所之故。“心念一闪,振动十方”,绛服心,影响多大啊。想想“八风吹不动”的美好,吹得自己心也动了起来,那我也心动了。心不动,好难啊。继续摸索吧。感恩师父教诲,感恩师父慈悲引领!??????

  8. 感恩师父慈悲开示!禅修就是修〔定力]在日常生活,待人处事,无论遇到烦心事,冤枉事,不解释,修心的承受力。感恩顶礼师父!

    “其實禪修無非就是在修「定力」,如果沒有「定力」就沒有穩定的心性,很難成就什麼事情。”
    「八風吹不動,穩坐紫金蓮」以不变应万变。

  10. 稽首天中天,毫光照大千·
    八風吹不动,穩坐紫金蓮·
    苏東坡在坐禅後,当下產生美好感覺即兴而寫下这首五言詩偈,詩中吐露意境之美还夾着一份自以為是的飄飄然·若修行真要能修到这种境界那实在很了不得,正当他以為佛印禅師一定會誇讚他之際,誰知”狗屁”二字把他氣得從”紫金蓮”上跳了起來,还刻不容緩即刻找佛印禅師理論,最後禅師以八風吹不动,一屁打过江,使他猛然驚醒自己的修禅功夫与佛印大師实在相差太远,当下感到慚愧,詩偈中的所謂八風吹不动,穩坐紫金蓮,只是自以為是,其实未免言过其实了.
    弟子在修行的过程中,經常會遇到这种事情,不堪
    一擊,原形畢露.
    感恩師父的开示,弟子今後定必注重修”禅定”願能
    提升定力,若無法做到紋風不动,也要做到心緒平和處事冷靜·
    弟子叩謝師父·
