耳根圓通後記Postscript on the “Perfect Penetration via Hearing”

耳根圓通後記

 

大家好!

 

前幾天寫的《愣嚴經》耳根圓通,及佛陀割肉餵鷹的典故,

個人寫說:我會丟到垃圾桶,引起非議!

那是因為只要冠上是「佛說」都會被頂禮膜拜。

這也牽涉各人的立場不同,

 

我個人站在證悟的角度去追求佛法,

年輕就修行的我,如只學會唸經或佛典知識都不是我可以接受的,不可能沒有收穫。

 

想要對佛法有所成就,必定要挑出真正的佛法來,至少是最接近的。

 

古代文字是很珍貴的,大部分的人是文盲。

只要是文字就會被珍藏,更何況是佛說,

所以這裡面不用判真偽的態度是很清楚的,

 

但如果你是試圖有所成就的修行者卻常常拿錯誤的地圖,

我不知道各位能忍受多少?

 

真偽的判別都定義在研究上,

但我常常吃那種虧,

一再的研究有什麼意義呢?

 

根據我個人修行的所見做出定義,推測,判別(人體器官ㄧ定是同時運作的,不可能單獨修持耳朵器官),

 

至少有清楚的目標,

當然你也可以否認我!

 

再者,如果你真的是佛教徒,

真的可以忍受佛陀在那裡割肉布施嗎?

我個人是連聽一句都無法忍受!

 

不丟到垃圾桶去又能如何?

句句肺腑之言。

 

半寄

 

(至少長年的寫佛法釐清,

不用老是再重複解釋我不想聽到的佛法,

為什麼是錯的!


這是讓我最愉快的收穫,至少我的耳根清淨 🙏哈哈😆



Postscript on the Perfect Penetration via Hearing

 

Greetings, friends of NanZen!

 

A few days ago, I wrote about the method of “Perfect Penetration via Hearing” in the Śūraṅgama Sūtra, along with the tale of the Buddha offering his flesh to an eagle.

When I said I would discard these stories into the trash, it sparked criticism.

That’s because anything attributed to “the Buddha’s words” is often revered uncritically.

 

This response, of course, reflects differing perspectives.

 

As someone who seeks the Dharma through the lens of direct realization,

I began my spiritual path young, and mere scripture recitation or doctrinal knowledge was never something I could accept without tangible inner transformation.

 

To truly achieve progress in Buddhism, one must identify and rely on teachings that are genuinely authentic—or at least as close to the original intent as possible.

 

In ancient times, writing was rare, and most people were illiterate.

Any written text, especially one attributed to the Buddha, was preserved without question.

 

This explains why authenticity is seldom challenged. But for practitioners striving for awakening, using a flawed map repeatedly is unacceptable. How much misdirection are you willing to tolerate?

 

Scholars define authenticity through academic methods,but I’ve personally suffered from relying too heavily on such methods. What good is endless research without resolution?

 

Based on my own practice, I’ve come to my own judgments and insights.

(Human organs work together—you can’t train just your ears alone.)

 

At least, I know what I’m aiming for.

Of course, you’re free to disagree with me.

 

Furthermore, if you are a genuine follower of the Buddha,

can you truly accept the image of the Buddha slicing his flesh as an offering?

 

For me, even hearing such a story is unbearable.

If not the trash bin, then where else should it go?

Every word here is heartfelt.

 

Master Banji

 

(After so many years of writing and clarifying the Dharma,

I no longer need to repeatedly explain why I reject teachings I find mistaken.

This, to me, is a great joy—my ear faculty has finally been purified. 🙏😆)
