領悟性空 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

眼前定處細觀察,豈有實質曾滯留?
由斯領悟法性義,整體全空一切通。

細觀眼前一處,形象來來去去。該處若有基本之實質存在,豈能容許景象之千變萬化,去來無礙?推廣此理,即可領悟萬法本性「空(無自性)」之義。醒時雖覺有此身,此身本性亦屬空。因此可以放下一切執取,融入一切皆無可把捉,只是無限的藍空的觀想。常依以上思路修觀,容易體會觀空之輕安。

Comprehending Blank Essence Yutang Lin

Carefully observe some area in sight in daily life;
Could there be anything substantial that abides?
Thereby comprehending the meaning of Blank Essence,
All are embraced in the harmony of limitless oneness.

Comment:

In daily life carefully observe a small area in sight. All kinds of shapes and colors flow through. If that area had had something substantial, how could it allow so many changes without interference? Generalizing this understanding, one would comprehend the significance of "all things are of Blank Essence." While awake one feels the existence of the body, and yet its nature is still of Blank Essence. Therefore, one could let go of all grasping and merge into the visualization of limitless blue space within which there is nothing to grasp. Following the above steps to practice such visualization, one would easily experience a state of being light and easy.
