安心 Calmness

 安心

 

有讀者說:

中國禪宗六祖大師，

（638 年-713 年）

不是說：「本來無一物，何處惹塵埃？」

 

意思是說：六祖也說了空。

是的，禪宗有很多這樣的語錄，但是都是一些隻字片語，

如德山禪師

西元 782年至865年

青龍疏抄的「三心了不可得」，

 

但是去貫穿這個思想的邏輯，是沒有的，

當然你可以說：「三心了不可得」就是引用漢傳《金剛經》。

 

前面說過了，近代人用了大量的資源去挖掘出《雜阿含經》的整個系列，

如果佛學者不是已經被所謂的大、小乘，做了心理上的侵略，

 

《雜阿含經》是佛陀語錄記載最多的，

而且是有邏輯系統，研讀《雜阿含經》，

才是對佛法最直接了當的一窺全貌及修行內容。

 

當然，一般的佛教信仰是不需要研讀這麼多的，

請不用擔心。

Calmness

 

Some readers noted that the Sixth Patriarch, Huineng

(638–713), once said,

“Originally there is not a single thing—where could dust alight?”

 

In other words, the Sixth Patriarch also spoke of śūnyatā.

However, most Chan sayings are brief and fragmentary.

For example, Deshan Xuanjian (782–865) mentioned 

“the three minds cannot be obtained,” a phrase drawn from the Diamond Sutra.

 

Yet these ideas are not developed into a complete logical system.

 

In contrast, modern research has reconstructed the full body of the Saṃyukta Āgama.

If Buddhist scholars had not been psychologically influenced by the division between so-called Mahāyānaand Hīnayāna,

they would recognize that the Saṃyukta Āgamapreserves the largest number of the Buddha’s teachings and presents them in a structured and logical way.

Studying it offers the most direct understanding of Buddhism as a whole.

 

That said, such study is not required for ordinary religious faith—

there is no need to worry.
