第一

First

由外而内

From the outside to the inside.

即是由行为开始

It starts with actions.

其实呢

Actually, you know...

持戒就是帮你放下

这样

你就开始可以代表你的内心

已经开始放下了少少的烦恼执着

I have begun to let go of some of my worries and attachments.

第二是由内到外

The second is from the inside out.

即是由内心开始

It starts from the heart.

为什么我会贪这一样东西呢

Why am I greedy for this kind of thing?

为什么我会发脾气呢

你要知道自己的执着位先

你要观察自己的心

你自己清楚自己在想什么

You know very well what you are thinking.

不一定要加以判断好还是不好

It is not necessary to judge whether it is good or bad.

但是你要清楚自己

But you need to be clear about yourself.

你想怎样

What do you want?

接着你就可以着手在这个执着位里面去反省

Then you can start to reflect in this state of obsession.

其实学佛呢

In fact, studying Buddhism...

尽量就不要把心用得太复杂

Try not to make your heart too complicated.

刚才说了

说到这里

Speaking of which

我们先休息一下

Let's take a break first.

回来再继续

Come back and continue.

佛教的心法

The essence of Buddhism.

是怎样教我们放弃紧张忧虑呢

How does it teach us to let go of anxiety and worry?

在一位西医生

In a western doctor's office.

所认知的《菩提大道一书》里

In the book "The Path of Bodhi" that I know of

有详细的讲述

There is a detailed account.

让我们以放弃真怒作为例子

Let us take the example of giving up true anger.

来解释清楚

Come and explain clearly.

当我们被人激怒的时候

When we are provoked by others.

想保持平心静气

Want to maintain a calm and peaceful mind.

一般的伦理教法

General ethical teachings.

都是叫我们忍

They all tell us to endure.

但是相信

But believe.

大家都试过

Everyone has tried it.

也可能同意

It may also agree.

忍

Endure

并未必是一个很好的方法

It may not necessarily be a very good method.

很多时候

Many times

会造成情绪的恶结

It will lead to the vicious cycle of emotions.

那佛教又怎样

What about Buddhism then?

教我们被人激怒的时候

Teach us when we are angered by others.

可以保持心平气和呢

You can maintain a calm and peaceful state of mind.

首先

Firstly

思维上

In terms of thinking

我们开导自己

We enlighten ourselves.

例如我们可以想想

For example, we can think about it.

对方可能都有他的难处

The other party may have their own difficulties.

怒指会对自己身体有害

Anger can be harmful to one's health.

君子有容人之量

A gentleman has the capacity to accommodate others.

要保持气度

Maintain composure.

修养等等

Cultivation, etc.

但是无论

But no matter what.

我们怎样用思维去开导自己

How can we use our thoughts to enlighten ourselves?

心都还是很火滚的

The heart is still burning with passion.

这个时候要保持内心平静

At this time, one should maintain inner calm.

最好的方法是

The best method is

就是佛教说

It is said in Buddhism.

放弃情绪的心法

The mindset of letting go of emotions.

我现在解释一下

Let me explain一下.

怎样可以放弃情绪的心法

How can one let go of emotional attachment?

就要用一个比喻

Just use a metaphor.

这个比喻也是书里面说

This metaphor is also mentioned in the book.

水中泥沉

Mud沉沉 in the water.

如果有一杯水

If there is a cup of water

水里面有泥沉

There is mud settling in the water.

但是水不断在涌动

But the water keeps flowing.

不断在动

Constantly on the move.

水自然是非常温烛的

Water is naturally very warm.

如果你想要令水变清

If you want to make the water clear.

那怎么做呢

What should we do then?

答案就是

The answer is

什么都不要做

Do nothing.

你不要将泥沉压到杯底

Don't let the sediment sink to the bottom of the cup.

也不要企图将水按停它

Don't try to stop the water either.

你只要不做任何事

You just have to do nothing.

令到不断在动的水

Causing the water to keep moving.

它自然会停下来

It will stop naturally.

当水

When water

静止不动的时候

When standing still.

泥沉就会慢慢沉到杯底里面

The mud will slowly settle to the bottom of the cup.

水就会变回清洁

The water will turn back to clean.

反之

Conversely

如果我们企图将水按停它

If we try to stop the water.

或者将泥沉压到杯底

Or press the sediment to the bottom of the cup.

那水只会动得更加厉害

That water will only become more turbulent.

没办法会变回清的

There's no way to turn back to clarity.

水就比喻心

Water is a metaphor for the heart.

泥沉就比喻烦恼

Mud sinking is a metaphor for troubles.

叹 震 痴 紧张 忧虑等等

Sigh, shock, infatuation, tension, anxiety, etc.

根据这个水中泥沉的做法

Based on this method of sedimentation in water.

当我们被人激怒

When we are angered by others.

那团火在心里面涌起来的时候

When that flame surged up in my heart

我们真正要做的就是

What we really need to do is

什么都不要做

Do nothing.

不要去压伏涌动的路火

Don't suppress the surging road fire.

但也不要被路火

But don't be fooled by the path fire.

牵动我们去骂人

It prompts us to curse at others.

去打人等等

Go beat someone up, etc.

只是让那团火在心里面自己滚

Just let that fire roll around in the heart by itself.

因为路火是一种惯性的死力

Because road fire is a kind of inertial dead force.

只要我们不理它

As long as we don't pay attention to it.

它就会好像比喻的水中泥沉那样

It will be like mud sinking in water as a metaphor.

慢慢自然平静下来

Slowly calm down naturally.

你的内心就会变回平静

Your heart will return to peace.

这个水中泥沉的比喻

The metaphor of mud sinking in this water.

平静路火的方法

The method of calming road fires.

Including your greed and desire.

想要

Want to

不开心

Not happy.

抑郁

Depression

火滚

Fire roll

紧张

Nervous

忧虑等等

Worry and so on.

因为这些情绪都是心灵的动性

Because these emotions are the movement of the soul.

是一种习惯的死力

It is a dead force of habit.

当这些情绪动性生起的时候

When these emotional movements arise

我们不要和它斗

We shouldn't fight against it.

不要逼它走

Don't force it to leave.

又不要被它牵住

Don't let it hold you back again.

只是不要理它

Just don't pay attention to it.

来由它来

It comes from it.

去由它去

Let it be.

不除不拒

Neither exclusion nor rejection.

不作不抗

Don't do anything, don't resist.

什么都不要做

Don't do anything.

如果你一次又一次这样做得对

If you do it right again and again.

做得到

Can do it.

你那种负面的情绪

Your kind of negative emotions.

习惯性的力

Habitual force

就会越来越弱

Will become weaker and weaker.

而你不理它

And you ignore it.

放弃的力就越来越强

The strength of what you give up becomes stronger and stronger.

此消彼长

This diminishes while that increases.

紧张忧虑等等

Nervousness, anxiety, and so on.

就会逐渐消退

Will gradually fade away.

人就会变得开心

People will become happy.

生气勃勃

full of vigor and vitality

当然

Of course.

涌动的水我们不理它当然容易

It is easy for us to ignore the surging water.

但是你涌动的心

But your surging heart

我们想不要被它牵动

We don't want to be affected by it.

就真的不容易

It's really not easy.

如果我们真的想能够

If we really want to be able to

放弃紧张忧虑等等的烦恼

Let go of the worries of tension and anxiety.

令到心情开朗如月

Making one's mood as bright as the moon.

就一定要明白和把握这种

You must understand and grasp this.

其心不动的正确理论

The correct theory of an unchanging heart.

这就是无为分法

This is the method of non-action (wu wei).

大家一定要多闻多读

Everyone must listen and read more.

四方参学

Four directions studying together.

当中

Among

《金刚经》和《六祖坛经》

"The Diamond Sutra" and "The Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch"

是两部必须研读的经典

They are two classic works that must be studied.

而收集的详情

And the collected details.

也可以参阅

You can also refer to.

刚才我说的

What I just said.

一位西医生

This book.

刚才我们说了

We just talked about it.

如何对峙贪爱和憎恼

我们现在又总结一下

五戒十善

Five Precepts and Ten Goods

是佛法修学的根本

It is the foundation of practicing and learning the Buddha's teachings.

无论是三成

Whether it is thirty percent.

还是二成

Still twenty percent.

都是必须

It's all necessary.

以五戒十善做基础的

Based on the Five Precepts and Ten Good Deeds.

如果五戒十善都未做好

If the Five Precepts and Ten Good Deeds are not done well.

连做人天的资格都未有

Not even qualified to be a human.

那还怎样成菩萨呢

Then how can one become a Bodhisattva?

还怎样做星云圆角呢

How else to create Nebula rounded corners?

不可能的

Impossible.

五成佛法

The Five Aspects of Buddha Dharma

好像五层楼一样

It seems like a five-story building.

佛菩萨是最高那一层

Buddha and Bodhisattvas are at the highest level.

但没有下面那四层

But it doesn't have the four layers below.

又怎样会有最高那一层呢

How could there be a highest level then?

而我们重视五戒十善

We place great importance on the Five Precepts and the Ten Good Deeds.

就是最底那一层

It's just the bottom layer.

是一栋大厦的地基

It is the foundation of a building.

五戒十善

Five Precepts and Ten Good Deeds

想学佛

I want to learn Buddhism.

想成佛

Wishing to become enlightened.

想成菩萨

Want to become a Bodhisattva.

甚至乎想超越三戒

Even want to surpass the Three Precepts.

一定要认真修五戒十善

You must earnestly observe the Five Precepts and practice the Ten Good Deeds.

五戒可以取得人道的资格

The Five Precepts can qualify one for human status.

在六道里面拿到人道的条件

The conditions for attaining human existence among the Six Realms.

五戒就是不杀身

The five precepts include not killing.

不偷盗

Do not steal.

不邪淫

Do not engage in sexual misconduct.

不妄语

No false speech.

不喝酒

Don't drink alcohol.

佛和我们说

The Buddha speaks to us.

五戒是人成之恩

The Five Precepts are the grace that makes one human.

一身能够依教奉行

Able to follow the teachings with a whole self.

必定能够保住人身

Will definitely be able to preserve one's life.

来身还是人身

Is it a human form or not?

就不会堕三恶道了

Then there will be no falling into the three evil paths.

十善是天成之恩

The Ten Good Deeds are a blessing from heaven.

生天要收十善业

To be born into heaven, one must cultivate the ten good deeds.

天他们的得幸标准比我们高

Their standards for happiness are higher than ours.

我们人守五戒

We humans observe the Five Precepts.

他有十善十条戒要守

He has ten good deeds and ten precepts to follow.

而这十条都是五戒的扩展

And these ten are all extensions of the five precepts.

简单点记

Keep it simple.

十善里面

Within the Ten Virtues

身

body

身的业有三种

There are three types of karma related to the body.

即是有三条戒

That is to say, there are three precepts.

是关于身的

It is about the body.

不杀

Do not kill.

就是不杀身

Just not kill oneself.

不偷盗

Do not steal.

不邪淫

Do not commit adultery.

这个就是十善里面的

This is within the ten good deeds.

身业有三

There are three types of bodily actions.

口有四

There are four mouths.

口业就有四种

There are four types of verbal karma.

这个是由不妄语戒里面开出来的

This is derived from the precept of not speaking falsely.

第一

First

不妄语

No false speech.

即是不讲假话

That is to say, no falsehoods.

第二

Second

不恶口

No harsh words.

即是不讲粗俗的语言

That is, do not use vulgar language.

骂人

Curse at someone.

第三

Third

不两舌

Do not speak insincerely.

即是不挑拨是非

That is not to stir up trouble.

第四

Fourth

不以语

Not by words.

即是不要讲些花言巧语

That is, don't use flowery words.

不要讲些无谓的东西

Don't talk about meaningless things.

这四种就是口业

These four types are the karmic actions of speech.

意

Meaning

三

Three

即是意业有三种

There are three types of intention.

十善里面

Within the Ten Meritorious Deeds

不贪

Not greedy.

不憎

Not hate.

不痴

Not obsessed.

不贪

Not greedy.

即是不要贪求多于你需要的

That is, do not desire more than you need.

现代人大部分都是想要的多

Most modern people want more.

实际需要其实就未必那么多

The actual need may not be that much after all.

只要拿到需要心就清淨了

As long as you obtain what you need, your heart will be at peace.

不贞

Unfaithfulness

即是不要憎恼

That is, do not be angry.

发脾气

Throw a tantrum.

不痴

Not obsessed.

即是不如痴

Even if it is not as good as being foolish.

对一切境界不明是理

Not understanding all realms is reason.

不辨真妄

Unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

要有正知正见

One must have right understanding and right view.

所谓防医如成

So-called prevention is like treatment.

意业清淨

Purity of intention.

我们守护自己的心意

We guard our own intentions.

要好像守护诚词那样

It should be like guarding sincere words.

谨慎

Caution

不可以放逸

Do not become lax.

不可以大意

Must not be careless.

因为我们身口意三业里面

Because in our body, speech, and mind, there are three activities.

意业是驱动我们去做种种的烦恼和行为

Intention is what drives us to experience various troubles and actions.

身体所做的和口说的

What the body does and what the mouth says.

首先其实都是在意业里面产生

First of all, it actually all arises within karma.

所以我们只要守得到我们的意念是清淨的

So we just need to ensure that our thoughts are pure.

其余的身和口自然自然就会清淨了

The rest of the body and mouth will naturally become pure.

十善除了消极的不作恶之外

The Ten Good Deeds, apart from not doing evil in a negative sense,

也都着重积极的行善

It also emphasizes actively doing good deeds.

即是不杀生而能够救护生命

That is, not killing but being able to save lives.

不偷盗而能够行布施助人

Not stealing but being able to give and help others.

不邪淫而洁身自好

To refrain from promiscuity and maintain personal integrity.

不妄语而能够说真实话

To speak the truth without lying.

不两舌就劝人和好

Do not speak with a forked tongue; persuade others to reconcile.

不以语而说有益话

不贪而喜赦

"Not greedy but happily pardoned."

不珍慰而慈悲众生

Do not cherish oneself but show compassion to all beings.

不如痴而广收智慧

Better to be foolish and broadly gather wisdom.

所以大智道论上说

So, the Great Wisdom Treatise says.

收持十善道其实就是摄一切戒

Holding the Ten Good Deeds is actually about encompassing all precepts.

有了十善戒法来规范身心

With the Ten Good Precepts to regulate body and mind.

自然能够得到耸肿的禅定而生天成

Naturally, one can attain lofty meditation and achieve rebirth in heaven.

所谓由戒生定 因定法为就是这个道理

The so-called concentration arising from restraint is based on this principle.

天人的三业比我们人间清淨

The three karmas of celestial beings are purer than those of humans.

道德的水准比我们高

The standard of morality is higher than ours.

这十条是生天的基本条件

These ten points are the basic conditions for living.

不能缺少

Cannot be missing.

如果

If

只收十善

Only ten good deeds are accepted.

最高能够收到吐利天

The maximum can receive Tuli Tian.

吐利天以上

Above Tuli Tian

有十善都未必得

Even having the ten virtues may not guarantee success.

还要加收禅定

Additional charges for meditation will apply.

而欲界上的四层天

The four heavenly realms of the desire realm.

都要收慈悲喜赦四无量心

One must cultivate the four immeasurable minds of loving-kindness, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity.

How inherently pure the true nature is.

何其自性本不生灭

How could its true nature be inherently birthless and deathless?

何其自性本自具足

How self-nature is inherently complete.

何其自性本无动摇

How inherently, one's nature is fundamentally unshakable.

何其自性能生万法

How it can naturally give rise to all phenomena.

这个本来的佛字

This originally was the character for Buddha.

是藉由禅修的行为

It is through the practice of meditation.

禅定的功德

The merits of meditation.

达至如来

Attain Buddhahood.

可以显发自性的作用

Can reveal the function of self-nature.

这个就是由定法位的意思

This means the position determined by fixed laws.

但是禅定的功德

But the merits of meditation.

你又需要由持戒的观念而生起

You need to arise from the concept of keeping precepts again.

这就是由戒生定的意思

This is the meaning of "samadhi arising from precepts."

所以希望各位留意

So I hope everyone pays attention.

佛教的修行

Buddhist practice.

不在于理论有多少

It does not depend on how much theory there is.

也不在于我们口头说了多少

It doesn't depend on how much we say verbally.

看了多少佛经

How many Buddhist scriptures have you read?

所谓说食不饱

The so-called saying is "food does not fill."

修行并不是知识上的理解

Cultivation is not just an understanding of knowledge.

或者背诵的

Or reciting.

最重要是做

The most important thing is to take action.

正如你学游泳

Just like you learn to swim.

学踩单车

Learn to ride a bicycle.

你看了一本书

You read a book.

教你怎样游泳

Teach you how to swim.

你没下过水去游

You haven't gone into the water to swim.

你是不是真的会游泳呢

Do you really know how to swim?

上网看完几个视频

Watched a few videos online.

教你怎样踩单车

Teach you how to ride a bicycle.

但是你单车都没踩过

But you haven't even ridden a bicycle.

那你是不是真的会踩呢

So can you really step on it?

佛教的道理其实也是一样

The principles of Buddhism are actually the same.

佛教强调实修

Buddhism emphasizes practical practice.

学了念佛

Learned to chant the Buddha's name.

就真的抽时间去念佛

Just really take the time to recite the Buddha's name.

学了持咒

Learned to chant mantras.

就老老实实抽时间去持咒

Just honestly take the time to recite the mantra.

学了静坐

Learned meditation.

就抽少少时间去静坐

Just take a little time to sit quietly.

学了五戒十善

Learned the Five Precepts and the Ten Good Deeds.

那大家就真的在生活里面

Then everyone is really in life.

落实五戒十善

Implement the Five Precepts and Ten Good Deeds.

正如大家都知道

As everyone knows

早睡早起身体好

Early to bed and early to rise makes a person healthy.

多做运动身体好

Exercising more is good for your health.

但是只是知道

But just knowing.

不做

Not doing.

那对自己有什么益处呢

What benefits does that have for oneself?

不要停留在口头禅

Don't get stuck on cliches.

看了听了就算了

Just watching and listening is enough.

这样对你的人生就没有任何益处

This will bring no benefit to your life.

佛法是难值难遇的

Buddhism is difficult to obtain and encounter.

遇到又未必信

Encounter it but may not necessarily believe it.

信的人又未必做

Just because someone believes doesn't mean they will act.

做的人又未必有体会

Those who do it may not necessarily have the experience.

有体会的人又未必分享

Not everyone who has experiences is willing to share.

大家能够这么有缘

Everyone is so destined to be together.

遇到佛法

Encountering Buddha's teachings.

希望大家都不要迟疑

I hope everyone will not hesitate.

说食不饱

Say food is not enough.

只是说空话

Just talking nonsense.

而没有实际行动的人

but there are no actual actions taken.

其实对自己对世界

Actually, it's about oneself and the world.

都没有什么益处

There is no benefit at all.

这几集我们说了五戒十善

In these episodes, we talked about the Five Precepts and the Ten Good Deeds.

真心希望各位不要迟疑

I sincerely hope that everyone will not hesitate.

立即实行五戒十善

Immediately implement the Five Precepts and the Ten Good Deeds.

说到这里

Speaking of this...

时间差不多了

The time is almost up.

下次再会

See you next time.
