密祖搬石 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體 密祖搬石背負傷，業障深重磨鍊消； 跋 密勒日巴祖師從學於麻巴祖師時，麻祖為消磨其業障而令其搬負巨石以建屋，並且屢建屢拆，以致密祖背上有瘡洞。如此難忍能忍，終於得大成就。 從事佛法服務以來，為供佛搬米，火供搬柴，放生搬籠，獻瓶搬盒，寄贈佛書、佛像而搬箱，未曾停過。以矮小個子，有時需搬五十幾磅的箱子，最重曾達六十五磅。辛苦之時，輒念及密祖搬石以自勉。其實，此類磨鍊亦佛之深恩所在，身體因此常得勞動而日趨堅實有力。
Rock-moving Patriarch Yutang Lin Milarepa's back festered from moving huge rocks; Comment: While the Tibetan Yogi Milarepa apprenticed under the patriarch Marpa, in order to grind away Milarepa’s heavy karmic hindrance, Marpa made him move huge rocks to build stone houses. And for several times Marpa even told him to tear down after completion of one house and then to rebuild another one at a new location. Consequently, Milarepa got large areas of sore on his back. After tolerating such unendurable hardships Milarepa finally achieved great accomplishments. Ever since I joined the voluntary Dharma service I have not stopped moving heavy items: bags of rice for offering to Buddha, bundles of firewood for pujas, cages and containers for releasing of lives, cartons for Dragon vase offerings, and boxes of books and images for free distribution and mailing. With my short and small figure sometimes I had to struggle with boxes over fifty pounds, some were even as heavy as sixty-five pounds. At times like that it would come to mind the story of Milarepa’s moving rocks. In comparison my task is so much easier. Indeed, in this kind of training lies the profound blessing of Buddha; one’s body thereby gets exercises regularly and gradually becomes more sturdy and strong.
