情見執花為實在,了空見花猶幻化, 跋 一般見花,自然執為實有之存在。經過空性之聞思,見花視為幻化。若執於其幻化,則無從作用。因此圓融空有,不復對立,或安以「花」名,或借花獻佛,而大行渡生事業。至於究竟,則需純粹,離於言詮,不可思議,見花只是花,並無空有之分等等的瓜葛。此究竟只能久修漸臻,無從偷巧也。 二○○六年十一月廿九日 Four Layers of Flowers in Calligraphy ----- Original Message ----- Good choices. I will write them. Yutang -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Charles Dear Guru, Four Layers of Flowers Yutang Lin Ordinary view, born of attachments,
regards flowers as substantial. Comments: Ordinarily, seeing flowers one would naturally grasp them as having substantial existence. Through studying and reflecting on Blank Essence, one sees flowers as illusive appearance. If one grasps to their illusive nature, then no application would be possible. Hence, substantial existence and Blank Essence are harmonized, and duality diminished, in assigning the name "flower" to them or employing flowers to make offerings to Buddhas, and consequently all sorts of salvation activities are carried out. As to the ultimate, it needs to be pure, in absence of verbalism and conceptualization transcended, seeing flowers just as flowers are, without entanglements of any and all distinctions born of dualistic attitudes. Such ultimate state can only be attained gradually through long-term practices; there is no shortcut to the real fruits.
