九、一心念佛如法修行

  有不少人,雖然對於佛理心生好感,對於學佛修行有些興趣,但礙於不了解而心生錯覺,以為學佛修行是一件很難很復雜的事,是聖人做的事,而自己只是凡夫一個,根本沒有可能學得到做得到,因此就每每放棄可以再進一步聽經聞法學佛修行的大好機會,這實在是太可惜了!

  事實上,學佛修行不難不復雜,其要訣更是十分簡單,只要用一句話就可以全部概括了: 「一心念佛,如法修行」。

  既然「學佛修行」就只是「一心念佛,如法修行」如此簡單,而且具體「應該怎樣做」佛陀也已一一開示過,這樣就只要我們「肯去聽、肯去學、肯去做」就行了!

  在此可以對你實情相告的是: 當你入門後,你會越學越想學,越修越愛修,越學越明理越平靜,越修越離煩越開心!

  如何「一心念佛」?
  一心念佛,是指「毫無散心雜念的專心念佛」,亦即是: 口在念佛,心在想佛,意在觀佛,亳不夾雜,全情專注,全程投入。

  然而,這對於很多人來說,包括初念者及久念者,都有一個通病存在: 在剛開始時,心還可以靜下來,能够誠心誠意一心一意的念佛,但在念了幾句佛號之後,人那最愛胡思亂想的陋習慣性就閑不住了,心開始散亂,念開始騰涌,意開始遊蕩!
  簡單舉個例子吧,這把「口」一直在喋喋不休的念佛,但那顆「心」已經完全離開了佛,「念」還來了個今天會開五千萬頭獎獎金的六合彩,而「意」更浮現出了中頭獎該如何慶功如何享受等等,全程陶醉在沒完沒了的打妄神遊之中,形成「口在念佛號,心跟雜念跑,意随幻境轉,一場白嘮叨」。
  這不是「一心念佛」,而是「散心念佛」,是不能成就的!

  這樣的話,有什麼方法可以幫助進入「一心念佛」的狀態呢?

  一、在念佛的過程中,一旦發現自己的心念已經鬆散或者正在胡思亂想時,要即時把心念拉回來,重新調整到「念佛、想佛、觀佛」的「一心念佛」狀態,如是反復的調整,可以逐漸把「一心念佛」的狀態時間拉長,最終達到可以全情「一心念佛」的理想效果。
  在調整的過程中,請不要由於暫時未能做到之故而懷疑自己的能力甚至想放棄,因為調整並非一朝一夕的事,而是需要時間的磨煉和恒心的堅持方有成效。

  二、在念佛的過程中,難以「一心念佛」的原因是「心不能靜下來」,而心不能靜下來的原因是人「執迷不悟」「貪瞋痴」的陋習慣性在從中作梗。
  如果想要破除「執迷不悟」「貪瞋痴」的話,就得學佛修法「聞思修」,這樣才有可能明白宇宙生命事物的真相真理,破除執着與邪見,使煩心能够逐步放下和鬆靜下來。這時,明白的心就會少些貪執,淡化的心就會少些打妄,安寧的心就會多些清淨,念佛就比較容易進入自然而然的「一心念佛」狀態了。

  什麼是「修行」?
  「修行」的本意是「修正言行」或「自我實踐」。
  在佛教裡,「修行」的具體所指是「依照佛陀的教誨來修正心態和言行」(修正身口意),也是「依照佛法來進行修心明性、覺悟成佛的自我實踐」,總稱謂「如法修行」,簡稱謂「修行」。

  如何「如法修行」?
  簡單來說,想要「如法修行」,是需要依照佛法來進行「聞、思、修」的。

  第一,聽經聞法,誦經念佛(或持咒):
  通過聽經聞法,可以令我們了解真相、明白真理、開啓智慧、放下執着、破除邪知邪見、知道生命的何去何從、在修行上有法可依。
  通過誦經念佛(或持咒),可以令我們喚起心中的佛性、生起意中的正念,瓦解貪瞋痴的習性,伏住執迷的妄想,令「信、愿、行」的動力能够與佛菩薩的加持力產生感應,在潜移默化中開悟生慧、修行進步、學佛有成。

  第二,自我反省、改掉陋習(懺悔改過):
  通過自我反省,可以令我們在自己的身口意中看到諸多已經「習慣成自然」的貪瞋痴慢疑習性和業作,令懺悔的改過自新可以具體到位,令修行的自我實踐可以貫徹落實。
  在這樣的基礎上,我們依照佛法的指引、根據自身的實際情況,在日常生活中時時審察自己,在遇到的事件中處處修正自己,亦即是時時處處查看和糾正每個起心動念乃至言行舉止(身口意)的貪瞋痴慢疑習性和業作,切實改邪歸正。

  第三,諸惡莫作、眾善奉行。
  通過止惡,可以令新的惡業果報不再滋生﹔通過行善積德,可以令新的善德福報不斷廣積。
  如果以六道輪迴機制圖中的業積線來衡量的話,不再作惡可以令下三道的業積線不再拉高,在消完舊業後(下三道的業積線已經沒掉)就無須再遭受惡業苦報煎熬﹔而多行善積德則可以令天道的業積線不斷拉高加大,之後就可以享受到巨大的善業福報。
  對於今生想修行的人來說,如果沒有由前生所帶下來的善業福報支援,而要遭受惡業苦報煎熬,例如三餐不繼、資糧短缺、災障連連,試問如何修行?!

  大家千萬別把「諸惡莫作,眾善奉行」這簡單八個字輕輕藐過就算,應該知道當中包涵有三重截然不同的意義層次:

  1. 對於沒有修行的凡夫來說,它是一個口號、一個概念。
    (未必會做,處於在貪執的階段。)
  2. 對於正在修行的覺醒者來說,它是一種發心、一種實踐。
    (積極去做,處於去貪執的階段。)
  3. 對於正在行菩薩道的覺悟者來說,它是一種境界、一種常態。
    (自然而做,處於無貪執的階段。)

  希望大家明白「學佛修行」的重要性,可以「一心念佛,如法修行」!

  阿彌陀佛!
