既欲(yu)講經(jing),必先(xian)釋題。茲先(xian)講"妙(miao)法(fa)蓮華(hua)經(jing)"五字,妙(miao)法(fa)蓮華(hua)經(jing),以(yi)法(fa)喻立(li)題。佛經(jing)有七種立(li)題,所謂單三復(fu)三具足(zu)一。
單三者:
(一)單人(ren),如佛(fo)說(shuo)阿彌陀經。
(二(er))單(dan)法,如涅盤(pan)經、般若經。
(三)單喻(yu),如(ru)梵網經(jing)、瓔珞經(jing)。
復三者:
(一(yi))人法,如地藏菩薩本愿經。
(二)人(ren)喻,如如來師(shi)子(zi)吼經。
(三(san))法喻,如妙法蓮華經。
具足一者:如大方廣佛華嚴經(jing)。本經(jing)屬(shu)法(fa)(fa)(fa)喻立題,妙法(fa)(fa)(fa)是(shi)(shi)法(fa)(fa)(fa),蓮華是(shi)(shi)喻。因(yin)妙法(fa)(fa)(fa)難解,借蓮華為喻。妙法(fa)(fa)(fa)者,其(qi)法(fa)(fa)(fa)妙不(bu)可言(yan)。法(fa)(fa)(fa)是(shi)(shi)什么呢?所(suo)謂山(shan)河(he)大地,世界國土(tu),依正(zheng)果報(bao),世出世法(fa)(fa)(fa),色法(fa)(fa)(fa)心(xin)(xin)法(fa)(fa)(fa),雖萬象(xiang)森嚴,然要言(yan)之,不(bu)外佛法(fa)(fa)(fa)、心(xin)(xin)法(fa)(fa)(fa)、眾(zhong)生法(fa)(fa)(fa)三種(zhong)。這三種(zhong)法(fa)(fa)(fa),原無差(cha)別(bie)(bie),故(gu)稱(cheng)妙法(fa)(fa)(fa)。何以(yi)無差(cha)別(bie)(bie)呢?請先明我(wo)人之心(xin)(xin)在哪里。常人不(bu)明,恒將胸腔內的心(xin)(xin),指為吾人之心(xin)(xin),其(qi)實這是(shi)(shi)五(wu)臟(zang)之心(xin)(xin),非真(zhen)心(xin)(xin)呀(ya)!因(yin)這種(zhong)心(xin)(xin),是(shi)(shi)肉團心(xin)(xin),又(you)是(shi)(shi)集起心(xin)(xin)、分別(bie)(bie)心(xin)(xin)、妄想心(xin)(xin)。一旦死后(hou)腐化,就不(bu)能思量分別(bie)(bie),是(shi)(shi)緣(yuan)慮(lv)心(xin)(xin)故(gu),不(bu)是(shi)(shi)我(wo)人的真(zhen)心(xin)(xin)。
須知我人的真心(xin)(xin)(xin),是(shi)遍(bian)虛(xu)空,包法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa)界(jie)(jie)(jie)。楞嚴所(suo)謂十方虛(xu)空,在(zai)我心(xin)(xin)(xin)內(nei),如(ru)同片云點太清。試看(kan)一(yi)(yi)切萬(wan)法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa),皆從心(xin)(xin)(xin)生(sheng)(sheng),所(suo)謂心(xin)(xin)(xin)生(sheng)(sheng)則(ze)種(zhong)(zhong)種(zhong)(zhong)法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa)生(sheng)(sheng),心(xin)(xin)(xin)滅則(ze)種(zhong)(zhong)種(zhong)(zhong)法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa)滅,上至四圣,下至天堂(tang)地獄,皆從心(xin)(xin)(xin)所(suo)有,可知心(xin)(xin)(xin)外(wai)無法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa),心(xin)(xin)(xin)即(ji)是(shi)萬(wan)法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa)之本(ben)體(ti)。如(ru)明白了這個道(dao)理(li),則(ze)心(xin)(xin)(xin)悟妙(miao)(miao)理(li)虛(xu)空小(xiao),故(gu)心(xin)(xin)(xin)法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa)甚妙(miao)(miao),叫做(zuo)妙(miao)(miao)法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa)。又須知心(xin)(xin)(xin)中(zhong)惡念起,即(ji)僅一(yi)(yi)念生(sheng)(sheng)滅,已是(shi)變成地獄、餓鬼、畜生(sheng)(sheng)三惡道(dao)之因。一(yi)(yi)善念生(sheng)(sheng),便(bian)生(sheng)(sheng)天人阿修羅三善道(dao)。念空,便(bian)成二(er)乘。念慈悲(bei)平等(deng),即(ji)成佛菩薩(sa)。所(suo)謂十方世界(jie)(jie)(jie),都從心(xin)(xin)(xin)有。以心(xin)(xin)(xin)具十法(fa)(fa)(fa)(fa)界(jie)(jie)(jie)故(gu),事理(li)不(bu)(bu)二(er)故(gu),理(li)具事造皆在(zai)一(yi)(yi)心(xin)(xin)(xin)故(gu),所(suo)以佛界(jie)(jie)(jie)眾生(sheng)(sheng)界(jie)(jie)(jie),均在(zai)心(xin)(xin)(xin)內(nei),包羅萬(wan)象,有不(bu)(bu)可思(si)議之妙(miao)(miao)。若用分別心(xin)(xin)(xin)即(ji)非(fei),所(suo)謂舉心(xin)(xin)(xin)即(ji)錯,動念即(ji)乖,思(si)不(bu)(bu)到,尋不(bu)(bu)著,如(ru)能識得此(ci)心(xin)(xin)(xin),大地無寸土(tu)。
如今天這(zhe)樣盛大(da)(da)的講經法會,其(qi)始也(ye)是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)因為林內主持人的心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)一(yi)動,就(jiu)有(you)了這(zhe)么大(da)(da)的法會。又如飛機輪(lun)船火(huo)車,一(yi)切萬物(wu),何嘗不(bu)皆(jie)由(you)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)而有(you)呢?這(zhe)便可(ke)證(zheng)明心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)力不(bu)可(ke)思議,心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)包太(tai)虛,量周沙界。故釋迦彌陀,皆(jie)我(wo)(wo)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)造(zao);三(san)乘圣人,亦(yi)我(wo)(wo)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)造(zao);六道眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng),亦(yi)莫(mo)不(bu)皆(jie)然(ran)。所(suo)以(yi)眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng),是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)十方諸(zhu)佛(fo)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)內的眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng);十方諸(zhu)佛(fo),是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)內的諸(zhu)佛(fo)。觀音,是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)內的觀音;眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng),是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)觀音心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)內的眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)。所(suo)謂是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)佛(fo),是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)作(zuo)佛(fo);是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)菩(pu)薩(sa),是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)作(zuo)菩(pu)薩(sa)。只要有(you)修(xiu)有(you)作(zuo),皆(jie)可(ke)成佛(fo)成菩(pu)薩(sa)了,故曰心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)妙(miao)。若(ruo)迷昧本(ben)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin),便為天、人、阿修(xiu)羅、地(di)獄(yu)、鬼、畜生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)六道眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)。所(suo)謂心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)具地(di)獄(yu),心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)造(zao)地(di)獄(yu),心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)具天堂,心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)造(zao)天堂,鬼畜等亦(yi)莫(mo)不(bu)皆(jie)然(ran)。天堂地(di)獄(yu),既皆(jie)由(you)自心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)造(zao)作(zuo),故曰心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)法妙(miao)。眾(zhong)生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)身(shen)口意三(san)業(ye),無非煩(fan)惱作(zuo)業(ye),以(yi)致受生(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)(sheng)死輪(lun)回之(zhi)果報(bao)。然(ran)煩(fan)惱本(ben)空,即(ji)是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)了因佛(fo)性(xing)。煩(fan)惱原是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)智(zhi)慧(hui),因錯(cuo)用其(qi)心(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin)(xin),將智(zhi)慧(hui)翻(fan)作(zuo)煩(fan)惱。智(zhi)慧(hui)從何而來?煩(fan)惱之(zhi)體(ti),即(ji)是(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)(shi)智(zhi)慧(hui),不(bu)須(xu)外求(qiu)。身(shen)口意可(ke)造(zao)十惡,亦(yi)可(ke)做十善。

爾時,持地菩薩(sa),即從座起(qi),前白佛言:“世(shi)尊,若有(you)眾(zhong)生,聞是(shi)觀世(shi)音菩薩(sa)品(pin)(pin)自在(zai)之(zhi)業(ye),普門(men)示現神通力者,當知是(shi)人功德不少!” 佛說(shuo)是(shi)普門(men)品(pin)(pin)時,眾(zhong)中八萬四千(qian)眾(zhong)生,皆發無(wu)等等阿耨多(duo)羅三藐三菩提心。
觀(guan)音(yin)菩(pu)薩(sa)(sa):梵文Avalokite?vara,又作觀(guan)世(shi)(shi)(shi)音(yin)菩(pu)薩(sa)(sa)、觀(guan)自在(zai)菩(pu)薩(sa)(sa)、光世(shi)(shi)(shi)音(yin)菩(pu)薩(sa)(sa)等,從(cong)字面(mian)解釋就是(shi)(shi)(shi)“觀(guan)察(世(shi)(shi)(shi)間民眾(zhong)的(de)(de))聲音(yin)”的(de)(de)菩(pu)薩(sa)(sa),是(shi)(shi)(shi)四大菩(pu)薩(sa)(sa)之一(yi)。他相(xiang)貌端莊慈祥,經常手持凈瓶楊柳(liu),具有無量的(de)(de)智(zhi)慧和神通,大慈大悲,普救人間疾苦(ku)。當人們遇到災難時,只要念其名號(hao),便(bian)前(qian)往救度,所以稱觀(guan)世(shi)(shi)(shi)音(yin)。在(zai)佛教中,他是(shi)(shi)(shi)西方極樂世(shi)(shi)(shi)界教主(zhu)阿彌陀(tuo)(tuo)佛座下(xia)的(de)(de)上首菩(pu)薩(sa)(sa),同大勢至菩(pu)薩(sa)(sa)一(yi)起,是(shi)(shi)(shi)阿彌陀(tuo)(tuo)佛身(shen)邊的(de)(de)脅(xie)侍菩(pu)薩(sa)(sa),并稱“西方三圣(sheng)”。

一(yi)、修持觀世音菩薩(sa)法門要有(you)大(da)悲憫憐(lian)一(yi)切眾生,更不(bu)要說去(qu)傷害(hai)眾生的(de)(de)話,因為菩薩(sa)叫(jiao)做大(da)悲觀世音。只有(you)去(qu)幫助大(da)家(jia)遠去(qu)痛苦,永得快(kuai)樂。我們己身也會得到快(kuai)樂的(de)(de)福。
