圓融四無量心之觀法 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

四無量心修圓融,已蒙師示聯想偈;
更欲作觀得開導,當視眾生已成佛。

弟子寶媛提問:「四無量心:『願眾具樂及樂因,願眾離苦及苦因,願眾不離無苦樂,願眾安住平等捨』,除依師所示修四合一,一含四之聯想外(見拙作〈圓融四無量心之修法〉),當如何修觀?」

余示以當觀一切眾生皆已成佛。於此觀中,四無量心圓融完成。此屬密法之果位方便,以觀果德充為修法。此觀漸深,則修者心內對任何有情之成見皆漸消弭,而回復本淨,因而自然通達四無量心之圓融。

Visualization for the Unification of Four Boundless Minds Yutang Lin

Practice to attain the unification of Four Boundless Minds
Had been taught by Guru through a gatha for associations.
Additional visualization is again revealed through guidance:
Simply regard all sentient beings as having attained Buddha.

Comment:

Disciple Pao-Yuan asked, "For the practice of Four Boundless Minds: May all beings have happiness and its causes! May all beings leave suffering and its causes! May all beings be inseparable from the joy of no more suffering! May all beings abide in the equanimity of non-discrimination! Besides the practice of pondering in associations of 'Four in One' and 'One implying Four', as taught by Guru already (Cf. my work, "Unification of Four Boundless Minds"), how to practice visualization?"

I taught her that one should regard all beings as having attained Buddhahood. In this visualization the Four Boundless Minds are unified and accomplished. This belongs to the Tantric teachings of "applying fruits as means of practice," where the enlightened state is assumed for the sake of providing practices. As such a visualization becomes deeper all prejudices in the practitioner's mind toward any sentient being would gradually fade away, and hence the mind would return to its original purity, and consequently it would naturally realize the unification of Four Boundless Minds.
