感谢痛苦,让我升起“大精进”
A Theme of “Gratitude

《入行論》說:沒有痛苦,不能生起大精進。密勒日巴就是因為痛苦,

而對輪迴生起厭離之心,誓死苦修,終於一生成就。

〈第一座法〉(上午6:00-8:30)

(法王陞座主法,傳授「大乘還淨律儀」,即漢傳「八關齋戒」)

法王帶領大眾念誦「大乘還淨律儀」「受戒文」(右膝著地,跪著念誦):

念誦三次

「常住十方一切佛菩薩:祈怙念!猶如過去之如來、阿羅漢、正等正覺,如神駒、大象,所作已作、方作、當作,放下包袱,即證自本性,斷盡諸有結。具清淨語、善解脫心、善解脫慧。彼等為一切有情之利故,為饒益故,為渡脫故、為除憂病故,為免饑饉故,為圓滿一切趨菩提之法故,為證無上正等正覺故,決定領受齋戒。如是,我名……當下受持,乃至明晨旭日未生之際,決定受此齋戒。」

發願受此者,今天直到明天天未亮前,需行持以下八項戒律:

一,不殺;

二,不盜;

三,不淫;

四,不飲酒;

五,不妄語:特別包括「不作上人語」,即未成就而說己成就;

六,不坐臥高廣大床:以不超過一手肘高為準,住旅館則無妨,但有所選擇時應選低者;

七,不非時食:即過午不食。

八,不過香花鬘塗香:不能為令已莊嚴、打扮而裝飾。不往聽歌舞觀伎:不可放逸而做

(念誦「持戒清淨咒」)

法王開示:

今天是祈願法會第一天,就如我之前提到的一樣,讓我們在這裡一起祈願:世界和平,教法興盛,眾生能得到和樂。所謂「祈願」,就是帶著清淨的發心,也反應在行為和語言上。如果我們帶著這種善的心念而來,接著有了善的行為和語言,未來善願望真的能成真。所以希望各位在未來法會這幾天,都能觀照自心,保持覺性,讓自己保持善念、善語、善行。

今天早上會念誦梵文《隨念三寶經》(中藏文版在《大祈願課誦本》P23〈三常誦之二.經文常誦〉),所以今天我先做一個簡略介紹:

一、憶念佛

薄伽梵,有「消除一切煩惱」之意,另一層意思是,其他天神雖也具備功德,但不如佛一般殊勝,具有超越二乘(註:聲聞、緣覺)的斷證功德。

如來,指「證悟空性」;

阿羅漢,指「滅除一切煩惱的怨敵」;

正等覺,是淨除煩惱之後,智慧能圓滿生起;

明行,指殊勝的智慧,有憶念過去的神通、能見未來的智慧,並能了知現在一切法的智慧;行,是指戒律,具足智慧之前,首先要有戒律,「明行足」之足(註:法本之「明行」,即佛陀名號之一「明行足」),是指戒律。

善逝,指善能超越各種痛苦,超越涅槃,也超越輪迴。

世間解,指能讓情器世間一切眾生解脫。

調禦丈夫:能依世間眾生習氣,調伏一切眾生,寂靜者以寂靜方式調伏,剛強、凶殘者以威猛方式調伏。

天人師:是調御丈夫中最殊勝者,是一切天(註:天道眾生)與人之導師。

這是憶念色身功德。以上都是佛陀名號,我們以此憶念佛陀功德。

二、憶念法(《大祈願課誦本》P 25第二行)

正法功德,這裡是指滅諦功德,究竟成佛的「滅諦」功德(註:佛說「四聖諦」苦、集、滅、道之滅諦)。

法本說「正法」功德是「善說梵行,初善、中善、後善。」:

初善是「聽聞」;

中善是「思維」;

後善是「實修」。

「義妙、文巧、純一,圓滿、清淨、鮮白」:

佛法內容沒有任何錯誤,沒有次序的顛倒、混亂,每個字辭,都是可以幫助我們消除煩惱、平靜心緒的對治法。

「極善安立,見者不空」:

所有見到它的人,都會得到利益,功德不空。

三、憶念僧

接下來談僧眾功德。聖僧具備「正行、應理行、和敬行、質直行」四種和合的功德,所以我們要憶念僧寶。即使是凡夫僧,也有僧團身口意之融和,要以此思維僧眾功德,所以善信應當禮敬供養。

......

■禪修,將心放鬆再放鬆

接下來要禪修。身體要坐直,以前講過很多次,這次不再多講,總之身體要點把握住,脊椎挺直,兩手結禪定印;還有,心要放輕鬆,就是放輕鬆,將心放在呼吸上,將心放在呼吸上,自然的放在呼吸上,不必刻意改變什麼,自然看著你的出入息,禪修五分鐘。

(P194)〈普賢行願品偈文〉

(法王獨頌P242〈大祈願文〉、P260〈冥陽迴向文〉,大眾恭敬聆聽。法王念頌以迴向請法功德主、一切生者與亡者。)

最後,我們要為生者和亡者迴向和祝福,也要為一切功德主和一切親友迴向祝福,不論在世或過世,觀想帶著亡者往生善地,觀想生者都如意吉祥,修持圓滿,得到究竟的快樂。這麼多僧人聚集在佛陀成道之聖地,因緣非常勝難得,要如上所想的迴向和祝福。

明天法會上,我要念今天獻供的施主名字。

接下來是亡者迴向,請大家專一迴向。

(迴向後,結束大祈願法會第一天四座法)

As His Holiness moved through the dawn mist yesterday to take his place under the graceful branches of the Bodhi Tree, the long-awaited 27th Kagyu Monlam was officially underway. The theme for this year’s prayer gathering is “gratitude,” and this theme was surely reflected in the hearts of the thousands of disciples who managed to bring together the conditions to be present in Bodhgaya after this year of economic turmoil.

The Gyalwang Karmapa opened Kagyu Monlam by offering the 24-hour Mahayana Sojong precepts to the immense gathering of monks, nuns, laymen and laywomen. His Holiness has noted in the past that aspirations made by men and women together are more powerful and carry greater effects, as are the aspirations made by people holding vows. As such, the Mahayana Sojong ceremony is a particularly appropriate way to open Kagyu Monlam, since it allows monastic and lay to observe pure ethical discipline and so to strengthen the power of the prayers they make throughout the day.

During the second session of the day, His Holiness continued the reading transmission of The Life of Milarepa that he had begun in previous years. This year he will conclude that transmission, and in honor of that, the Monlam will be followed by the performance of a play composed and directed by His Holiness himself, depicting Milarepa’s biography.

With simultaneous translation into nine languages, Gyalwang Karmapa took the opportunity to comment on Milarepa’s life, noting that Milarepa’s renunciation was greatly fueled by the suffering he had experienced in his earlier life – the suffering he underwent at the hands of his aunt and uncle, as well as the hardships that he endured in his efforts to receive Dharma teachings. This shows us what a powerful teacher our suffering can be, and its value in producing renunciation. Without suffering, His Holiness said, there is no renunciation.

Following a practice he instituted last year, the teachings session concluded with a meditation guided by His Holiness himself. For many practitioners, the opportunity to meditate in the presence of this extraordinary spiritual master has become yet another of the many highlights of the Kagyu Monlam.

Those not able to attend in person may add their aspirations from afar by logging into the live webcast of this year’s Kagyu Monlam. For details, see the Kagyu Monlam website.
