佛陀在哪裡 (C068 中華印經協會)

　　佛在何處？
在佛陀的教法中，在佛陀的戒律中。

　　他告訴人們，凡是不按我的教法行事的人，那就是視我而不見，雖在我身邊仍離我遙遠。如果按這個教法行事，他離我雖遙遠，猶在我身邊。佛陀涅槃後，當我們再說到佛陀時，已經不是指那個肉身的佛陀。

　　「佛陀」一詞已經成了「覺悟」的同義詞。佛陀的本質不再是肉體，而是覺悟。沒有人可能再見到肉身的佛陀，即使是夢中，禪坐中，入定後，都不可能。沒有見到過佛陀的人，怎麼可能知道佛陀長什麼樣子。佛陀的真相世人無法見到。任何出色的描寫也無法讓人們認識佛陀，任何言語也無法表達佛陀的形態。

　　你認為你所見到的佛陀，只不過是塑畫、雕刻在你意識中反映。不能僅僅從形態方面去尋找佛陀，因為形態不是真正的佛陀，真正的佛陀就是覺悟。所以，能夠覺悟的人才是真正地見到了佛陀。覺悟就是佛陀之身，因此他是永恒的存在，是不會被損壞的。他不是依靠食物維持的肉體，他是由智慧形成的堅固之身，既無恐懼又無疾病，是永遠不變的。佛陀在即將入滅時告訴弟子：「諸位善友！明天我的色身就不存在了，但我的法身將永遠與你們同在。」

　　佛陀很清楚的表示，他的法身比色身更重要。佛陀的法身是覺悟與快樂的源頭。任何有助於人們覺醒之物，都是法身的一部分。對於覺醒的人來說，天地萬物都是法音。每塊小石子，每片樹葉，每朵花瓣都在宣說著《妙法蓮華經》。清晨，當你打開窗戶，看見晨光流瀉進來，陽光沐浴，法身頓時會遍佈你的全身。佛陀無色也無形。因為他無色無形，所以他無所謂從何處來，也無所謂向何處去。因為他無所謂從何處來又無所謂向何處去，所以處處充滿著他，猶如虛空那樣普蓋於萬物之上。

　　佛的本身遍滿虛空，充滿法界的，無處不在，他與人們對佛陀的觀念無關，永遠存在，有著千百億化身。佛陀的壽命是無窮盡的。

　　所以佛陀說：「並不是見到我的肉體就是見到了我，只有懂得我的教法的人才能見到我。」為了延續佛陀的法身，佛陀要仰賴我們，仰賴我們的修行，仰賴對教法的推行。要想懂得佛陀的教法，就要學習佛陀的教法，在修行中宣揚這些教法。

　　佛陀有他的法身，而我們這些未來佛也必須透過自己的法身來展示佛法。以升天為目的的人不會成佛，唯有解脫生死才是唯一的成佛之路。而成佛之路，必須先行菩薩道。所謂的菩薩道，就是要以正身、正念向人們展示佛法，讓人們對佛法生起信心，對佛陀產生敬仰。

　　我們知道，佛陀說法四十五年，六祖禪師說法利生三十七載，摩訶迦葉尊者，阿難尊者，龍樹大士，羅羅多尊者，弘忍大師等等佛陀之子，住世說法直至涅槃。這是一條漫長、艱難的弘法之路。我不相信「立地成佛」，放下屠刀的那一剎那，是他慈悲心的顯現，但是如果沒有證悟諸法實相，以修持的工夫解脫生死，仍然不見佛。念佛持咒可以成自了的羅漢，但是真羅漢，終究必將回小向大，發大乘心，行菩薩道。

　　開悟也並不即是成佛，也並不即是見道。《阿彌陀經》說，不可能以微少的善根之因及微少的福德之緣，往生極樂世界。說佛陀不可見，是指肉眼不可見。說他可見，是因為當你覺悟時，你就看見了佛，因為佛陀就是你自己。明白這個道理的人就可以成為佛陀之子。佛陀之子就是接受佛陀的教法，維護佛陀的教法，並把這種教法傳給後世。

　　佛陀在哪裡？讓我們拋掉幻想，捨棄捷徑，腳踏實地的踏上這條弘法之路，步步蓮花生。讓我們展開般若波羅蜜的雙翼，飛向金光燦爛的彼岸。佛陀就在那裡！ Buddha Where?
In the Buddha's teachings, the Buddha's precepts.

He told the people, who do not follow the teachings of my person acting, that is depending on me and gone, though still with me far away from me. If you act according to this teaching, although he was far away from me, still in my side. After the Buddha's Nirvana, when we say to the Buddha, it is already not mean that the flesh of the Buddha.

"Buddha" has become the word "consciousness" is synonymous. Buddha nature is no longer flesh, but consciousness. No one could see the flesh of the Buddha again, even dreams, meditation, and the meditation, impossible. People who have not seen the Buddha, how could know Buddha looks like. Buddha can not see the truth of the world. Any good description can not let people know the Buddha, the Buddha can not be expressed in any language form.

Do you think you see the Buddha, but is plastic painting, sculpture reflected in your consciousness. Not just to find the Buddha from the form, since form is not the real Buddha, the Buddha is true consciousness. So, can consciousness talent is truly saw the Buddha. Consciousness is the Buddha of the body, so he is eternal existence, will not be damaged. He is not relying on food to maintain flesh, he is formed by a solid body of wisdom, neither fear nor disease, is always the same. When was going to destroy the Buddha told his disciples: "Gentlemen good friends tomorrow I rupa does not exist, but my Law Bodies will always be with you!."

Buddha is clear that he is more important than the color of Dharmakaya body. Dhammakaya Buddha is the source of consciousness and happiness. Any substance helps people awakening, are part of the Dhammakaya's. For people awakening, the heavens and the earth are chanting. Each pebble, every leaf, every flower petal in Xuan said, "Lotus Sutra." Early in the morning, when you open the windows and saw dawn pouring in, sunshine, Dhammakaya suddenly will throughout your body. Buddha colorless also invisible. Because he colorless invisible, so it does not matter from where he used to, it does not matter where to go. Whither does not matter because he does not matter from where they come, so full of him, like a vanity cover on top of things as Cape.

Buddha itself fill the void, full of Dharma, and everywhere, and people's attitudes to the Buddha, he is independent, always there, with hundreds of billions incarnation. Buddha's life are endless.

So Buddha said: "My body is not seen to see me, just understand my teachings people can see me." To continue Dharmakaya Buddha, the Buddha to rely on us to rely on our practice, rely on teaching implementation of laws. To understand the teachings of the Buddha, the Buddha's teachings should learn to promote the practice of these teachings.

Buddha has his Dhammakaya, and those of us in the future to show the Buddha Dharma must also through his own Dhammakaya. In order to ascend to heaven for the purpose of people do not become a Buddha, only death is the only Buddha relief road. The Buddha of the road, must first Bodhisattva. The so-called Bodhisattva, is to take the seating arrangement, Buddhist mindfulness to show people, so that people born from confidence in the Dharma, the Buddha generates admiration.

We know that the Buddha say forty-five years, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen saying Lisheng thirty-seven upload, Venerable Maha Kassapa, Ananda, Nagarjuna Tuas, Rolls-Royce and more Venerable Master Hongren etc. Buddha's son, saying the world to live up to Nirvana. This is a long and difficult road preaching. I do not believe that "good deeds," lay down their arms the moment, is to show his compassion, but if there is no enlightenment Zhufashixiang to practice the relief effort death, still not seen the Buddha. Buddha mantra can become a self Lohan, but Lohan really, after all, will return to the small to big, fat Mahayana mind, the Bodhisattva path.

That is, it does not become enlightened Buddha, that is, it does not see the road. "Amitabha Sutra" says, it is impossible to cope with the meager meager and good roots of the edge of Crawford, reborn in paradise. Said the Buddha is not visible, refers invisible. Says he can see, is because when you consciousness, you see the Buddha, because Buddha is yourself. People who understand this principle can become the Buddha's son. Buddha is to accept the teachings of the Buddha's son, maintenance teachings of the Buddha, and such teachings passed later.

Where is the Buddha? Let us throw away the fantasy, abandon shortcut, down to earth preaching embark on this path, step by step Padmasambhava. Let us expand the Prajna Paramita wings, fly glittering shore. Buddha was there!
