偉大慈悲 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體 斷盡俗緣入佛門，偉大慈悲究如何？ 跋 十月在高雄說法兩場，皆蒙一位尼師蒞臨列席。第二場講後，佛友眾尚在談論之際，蒙彼自動開示當年決定出家之刻的殊勝經歷：先是一切世間因緣皆斷了，然後才踏進佛門。即聞天語：「出家是很偉大的。」彼即問：「有多偉大？」立即心中有兩股氣向兩側推開，竟然無有邊際。又聞天語：「出家是很慈悲的。」彼即問：「有多慈悲？」又再度經歷心中二氣之無限擴展。由此寶貴出家經歷之開示，足見出家並非只是出離個人之俗緣，而是與融入法界之無限一體貫通的。良以出家者獻身於弘揚法界無限一體之大覺醒，而其平等服務之對象又是十方三世之一切眾生，因此其偉大無限，其慈悲亦復無限深廣。謹此記述公布，與眾共沐法師身教及言教之大恩。 一九九九年十二月十三日 Great and Compassionate Yutang Lin Cut off all worldly connections, then entered the Dharma gate. Comment: In October I gave two talks in Gao Xiong, Taiwan. Both lectures were graced with the presence of a nun in the audience. After the second lecture, while the audiences were still asking me questions, she voluntarily revealed the extraordinary experience of her renunciation to becoming a nun: At first, all worldly connections were cut off, then she entered the Dharma gate. Immediately she heard a voice saying, "Entering the Sangha is very great." She asked, "How great?" Immediately there were two flows of air pouring out from her heart and pushing it open toward the sides; alas, they extended without boundary into infinity. Again, she heard a voice saying, "Entering the Sangha is very compassionate." She asked, "How compassionate?" Immediately she experienced again the infinite expansion of two flows of air from her heart. From this precious revelation of her experience at the moment she decided to renounce the world to enter the Sangha it is obvious that such an act is not just renouncing one worldly relations but is connected with merging into the limitless-oneness of the Dharmadhatu. Since members of the Sangha are dedicated to the propagation of the great awakening of the limitless oneness of all things, and the subjects of their service with equanimity are all sentient beings in all directions and times, therefore, their greatness and compassion are boundless. This teaching of the nun is hereby carefully recorded so that all who comes across it may share the blessings of her teaching both in person and in speech.
