念佛四十八法:3) 端身持名

 

  3) 端身持名

  Regulating the Body during Buddha Recitation

  Having decided to practice Buddha Recitation, you must keep your body pure (6) at all times and in all movements and gestures – whether walking, standing, sitting or reclining. When the body is pure, the m ind will also be pure.

  The Pure Land practitioner should ponder this teaching. It is never wrong.

  既以此身念佛,于一切行、住、坐、卧时,务常端正,身若端正,心即清净,当人自验诚不我欺。

  Commentary

  The body has a strong influence on the mind. Therefore, in order to have a strong, upright spirit and an unflinching faith in both self-power and Other-power (the power of the Buddhas), and to practice Buddha Recitation resolutely, it is necessary to cultivate an exceptionally pure body before starting out. The m ind is pure because the body-karma is tranquil and undefiled. Thus, for Buddha recitation to yield good results, the first condition is to keep the body pure.

佛言佛语大乘佛法的原点在《十善业》。《十善业道经》不长,佛讲得很清楚,声闻菩提、缘觉菩提、无上菩提、乃至于人天法,统统是依这个为根本。佛比喻十善好比是大地,大地上所有一切的生物都依大地而生长;没有大地,一切万物都没有了。如果我们没有十善业,等于说没有土地,什么种子都不能生长。所以说,佛法建立在十善业的基础上,我们要从这里下功夫。十善业道的精华,是教我们“转恶为善”。这种修行法,在佛家称为“根本法”。我们无论修学哪个法门,都不能离开十善业道,参禅不能离开十善业,念佛也不能离开十善业。 摘录自佛言网由明华居士发布
