《能仁加持宝藏》之后法白莲花。 《能仁加持宝藏》之后法白莲花。 名为《能仁加持宝藏》之后法白莲花之论著。 上篇。 那摩咕噜曼殊师利古玛拉布达亚。 证得与诸佛同等性,无与伦比导师之功德,忆念恩德,令虔诚之莲花,与虚空周遍等同增长广大。于此太阳之亲友之教法中,特别执持之贤劫众生,欢喜进入白莲花苑,请看时节令其盛开之景象。于此欲作忆念世尊之瑜伽,故先以知晓理由之坚定信心为先导,于佛之身像所缘之止观瑜伽勤奋,则一切所愿皆能成办,故略述彼之理。总的来说,此三界轮回之处,以业惑之力量而生,流转之众生,与三苦之束缚未分离,故不能获得究竟安乐之处,于轮回中,轮回之生世传承众多,然诸佛出世与听闻正法及获得闲暇之身等,实为百中偶一得之,甚为难得。然我等如今于此时获得了闲暇圆满之身,且值遇了珍贵的佛法,然末法时期寿命极短,且为疾病等痛苦所恼害,被猛烈的烦恼垢染所折磨,调伏自心与如理精进佛法亦甚为稀少,不能令发生生世根本大利益之值遇佛法变得有意义,而被此生之琐事与世间八法之散乱所控制,对此生如闪电般之景象毫无信任。具有极其长久的认识,自己的身体如水泡般毫无实义,怨亲与受用如梦中之景象

The White Lotus, a supporting Dharma for "The Treasure Trove of Blessings from the Capable One". The White Lotus, a supporting Dharma for "The Treasure Trove of Blessings from the Capable One". A treatise called "The White Lotus, a Supporting Dharma for 'The Treasure Trove of Blessings from the Capable One'" is present. First part. Namo Guru Manjushri Kumarabhutaya. Having attained equality with all Buddhas, the qualities of the incomparable teacher, and remembering the kindness, may the lotus of faith grow and expand equally with the expanse of the sky. In this teaching of the friend of the sun, the assembly of fortunate beings who especially uphold it, look at this grove of white lotuses of joy, blossoming in due season. Here, wishing to engage in the yoga of recollecting the Bhagavan Buddha, one should first establish firm faith based on understanding the reasons. By diligently practicing the yoga of calm abiding and insight focused on the body of the Buddha, all aims will be accomplished. Therefore, I will briefly explain its method. In general, in this realm of the three realms of samsara, beings who are born and wander due to the power of karma and afflictions are not separated from the bonds of the three sufferings, and therefore do not attain the ultimate state of happiness. In samsara, through many lifetimes of wandering, it is very rare and difficult to find the emergence of Buddhas, hearing the Dharma, and obtaining a leisure body, perhaps only once in a hundred times. However, we have now obtained a leisure and endowed body at this time, and have also encountered the precious teachings of the Buddha. However, in this degenerate age, life is very short, and there are many harms of suffering such as disease. Tormented by the intense dregs of afflictions, it is rare to tame the mind and diligently practice the Buddha's Dharma properly. We are unable to make the encounter with the Buddha's teachings, which brings about the great benefit of future lives, meaningful. Instead, we are controlled by the trivialities of this life and the distractions of the eight worldly concerns, having no trust in the fleeting appearances of this life, like a flash of lightning. Having a very long-lasting perception, our own body is like a water bubble, without essence, and enemies, friends, and possessions are like dreamlike appearances.

如果像这样好好观察,就会发现它没有任何精华,是不稳固的,没有定准的,是离散的自性,是坏灭的自性,是欺骗的自性,是领受痛苦的自性,虽然是极不可靠的处所,却因为不了解这样而被安乐和常有的错觉所欺骗,虚耗暇满,恒常感受罪恶和痛苦的忙碌,在这样的间隙中,没有任何事物能够阻挡如晴天霹雳般击中头顶的死亡。而且,死亡也是在不情愿的情况下发生,没有任何预兆。死后,一定会依照善恶业的牵引,转生到天界或恶道。而且,从这因果不虚的规律来看,包括天神在内的世间没有任何人能够超越。即使是阿罗汉有余依者,也必须承受往昔业力的残余,更何况是普通人呢?因此,善恶业的果报,安乐和痛苦必定会成熟。大多数受业和烦恼控制的众生,行善业的少,造恶业的多,自然而然地堕入三恶道。如果转生到恶道,在地狱中,难以忍受寒热的痛苦,而且极其漫长,备受煎熬;在饿鬼道中,有极大的饥渴等痛苦;在畜生道中,有愚昧无知、互相残食、役使等各种痛苦交织。现在在天界人道中,连一天的寒热、疲劳、饥渴都无法忍受的人们,如果转生到那些地方,又如何能忍受痛苦呢?即使无法忍受,在业力未尽之前,也找不到转生到其他地方的机会,所以是非常恐怖的地方。但是,现在就思考的人却很少。即使转生到天界,人有生老病死,所欲不得,不欲临身等诸多痛苦;阿修罗有争斗;天神有死亡和堕落。无论转生到三界的哪个地方,都有苦苦、坏苦和行苦这三种自在。

If one examines it well, one will find that it has no essence, is unstable, uncertain, of the nature of separation, of the nature of destruction, of the nature of deception, and of the nature of taking up suffering. Although it is a place that is extremely unreliable, one is deceived by the illusion of happiness and permanence without understanding this, wasting leisure and fortune, and constantly experiencing the busyness of sin and suffering. In such an interval, there is nothing that can prevent death, which strikes the head like a thunderbolt. Moreover, death occurs unwillingly, without any warning. After death, one will definitely be reborn in either the higher realms or the lower realms, according to the pull of one's good and bad karma. Furthermore, no one in the world, including the gods, can transcend this infallible law of cause and effect. Even arhats with remainder must experience the residue of their past karma, so what need is there to mention ordinary people? Therefore, the fruits of good and bad karma, happiness and suffering, will definitely ripen. Most sentient beings, who are under the control of karma and afflictions, do little virtuous deeds and naturally accomplish many non-virtuous deeds, so they mostly fall into the three lower realms. If one is born in the lower realms, in hell, the suffering of heat and cold is difficult to bear and extremely long, causing torment; in the realm of hungry ghosts, there is great suffering of hunger and thirst; and in the realm of animals, there is ignorance, mutual devouring, exploitation, and various other sufferings intertwined. Those who cannot even bear a day's heat, cold, fatigue, hunger, and thirst in the human realm of the higher realms now, how will they bear the suffering if they are born in those places? Even if they cannot bear it, they will not find an opportunity to be reborn in another place until their karma is exhausted, so it is a very frightening place. However, few people think about it now. Even if one is born in the higher realms, humans have birth, old age, sickness, and death, not getting what they want, and encountering what they do not want, and so on, with many sufferings; asuras have fighting; and gods have death and falling. No matter where one is born in the three realms, there is the suffering of suffering, the suffering of change, and the pervasive suffering of conditioned existence.

被无明压制,在这如同轮回的火坑和罗刹洲的地方,众生无始无终,如旋转的火轮般不停流转。因此,下定决心,除了佛、法、僧三宝之外,没有其他能从那处境中解脱的皈依处。精进忆念佛陀等是极其重要的,因此首先应当修习对佛陀的信仰。所谓世间的佛陀,乃是往昔无数劫以来,为了所有众生的利益而发起菩提心,并如其所愿圆满、成熟、净治,达到无量功德的顶峰。证得远离一切障碍的大智慧身,直至所有众生的最后尽头,都是殊胜的皈依处、怙主、助伴和亲友。获得了十力、无畏等无漏如海般的法身。具有能现量照见三时一切所知的智慧。以具足六十支的无量音声,在无边世界中示现佛法的光明。具有三十二相和八十随好庄严的身,见到者无不欢喜,在包括天神在内的世间,如太阳般清晰、明亮、闪耀。仅仅一个毛孔和一道光芒的功德,即使住于无数佛土的诸佛世尊,历经无数劫也无法述尽,更何况是所有功德。因此,见到如此不可思议功德之自性,亲眼见到佛陀的真身,听闻佛陀的教诲,一心忆念佛陀,亲近并供养佛陀,更不用说仅仅见到画在图画上的佛像,以及听到佛号的声音传入耳中,这些都会逐渐成为趋向菩提的不竭之种子,并且在此期间,还会成为体验各种善趣安乐之因。《大悲白莲经》中说:以佛为对境,仅仅向空中抛撒一朵花,或者以佛为对境,生起一念清净心,甚至堕入畜生道的众生,仅仅忆念佛陀

Subdued by ignorance, in this place like a fiery pit of samsara and a rakshasa island, sentient beings revolve endlessly like a spinning wheel of fire, without beginning or end. Therefore, having firmly decided that there is no other refuge to escape from that situation except for the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, it is extremely important to strive in remembering the Buddha and so on. Therefore, one should first cultivate the perception of faith in the Buddha. The so-called Buddha in the world is one who, from countless eons ago, has generated the mind of enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings, and has perfected, matured, and purified it as desired, reaching the pinnacle of immeasurable qualities. Having attained the great wisdom body free from all obscurations, he is the supreme refuge, protector, helper, and friend until the ultimate end of all sentient beings. He has attained the Dharma body of the ten powers, fearlessness, and other uncontaminated qualities like an ocean. He possesses the wisdom to directly see all knowable things of the three times. With the immeasurable sound of speech endowed with sixty qualities, he reveals the light of the Dharma in all limitless worlds. His body is adorned with the thirty-two major marks and eighty minor marks, and whoever sees him rejoices. In the world, including the gods, he is as clear, bright, and radiant as the sun. Even the qualities of a single pore and a single ray of light cannot be exhausted even if the Buddhas, the Bhagavat, residing in countless realms, were to describe them for countless eons, what need is there to mention all the qualities? Therefore, what need is there to say about seeing such a nature of inconceivable supreme qualities, seeing the actual body of the Buddha, hearing the teachings of the Buddha, single-mindedly remembering the Buddha, and approaching and making offerings to the Buddha? Even merely seeing a painted image of the Buddha, and hearing the sound of the Buddha's name entering the ears, will gradually become an inexhaustible seed for tending towards enlightenment, and in the meantime, it will become a cause for experiencing various pleasures of happy migrations. In the Great Compassionate White Lotus Sutra, it says: Focusing on the Buddha, merely throwing a single flower into the sky, or focusing on the Buddha, generating a single pure thought, even sentient beings who have fallen into the animal realm, merely remembering the Buddha

如果享用那些获得的善根的果实,就是超越了苦难。自己宣称已经超越了苦难。如果有人用超过一劫的时间,以一切安乐的资具,恭敬侍奉充满三千大千世界的阿罗汉,就像稻田一样密集,还不如对如来合掌一次,说一声顶礼如来的功德的百千万分之一,数量和计算都无法比拟。更不用说充满三千大千世界的阿罗汉了,如果像前面一样恭敬侍奉充满三千大千世界的独觉佛,并在那些独觉佛涅槃后,用七宝建造佛塔,终身用鲜花、熏香、花环等各种供品供养和尊敬,还不如仅仅生起对佛陀的一念清净心,忆念佛陀,并以对佛陀功德的信心,说一句“如来的智慧不可思议”的功德更为殊胜,无法用比喻和原因来衡量。因此,诸佛世尊具有慈爱、悲悯和戒律等一切无量功德,所以对佛陀不可思议的智慧生起信心的果报也是不可思议的。此外,任何众生听到佛陀的教言或名号,对他们来说,直到完全涅槃之前都不会毫无意义。过去,许多商人一起出海,船在海中央被摩羯鱼抓住,那些商人惊恐地发出各种哀号,向各种神灵顶礼和呼唤。当时,一位信仰三宝且不以其他神灵为皈依的聪明船长安慰那些商人,恭敬地以专注于佛陀的心,与那些商人一起

If one experiences the fruits of those virtuous roots that have been acquired, it is to transcend suffering. One proclaims oneself to have transcended suffering. If a son or daughter of good family were to attend to and serve those who have attained the state of Stream-enterer, Once-returner, Non-returner, and Arhats, filling this trichiliocosm with them as densely as a field of rice, for a kalpa or more, and were to honor them with all the means of comfort, the merit of that would not equal even a hundred-thousandth part, nor could it be numbered or counted, of the merit of joining one's palms together and saying once, "I prostrate to the Tathagata." Moreover, let alone filling the trichiliocosm with Arhats, if one were to attend to and serve those who have attained the state of Solitary Buddhas in the same way, and after those Solitary Buddhas have passed into nirvana, were to build stupas made of the seven precious substances and offer and honor them with various offerings such as flowers, incense, and garlands for as long as one lives, the merit of merely generating a single thought of pure faith in the Buddha, recollecting the Buddha, and, with faith in the qualities of the Buddha, saying the words "The wisdom of the Tathagatas is inconceivable" is far superior, beyond comparison by example or reason. Thus, the Buddhas, the Bhagavat, possess immeasurable qualities such as loving-kindness, compassion, and discipline, and therefore the ripening of faith in the inconceivable wisdom of the Buddhas is also said to be inconceivable. Furthermore, any sentient beings who hear the teachings of the Buddha or hear the sound of his name, for them, it will not be meaningless until they have completely passed into nirvana. In the past, many merchants went to sea together, and in the middle of the sea, their ship was seized by makaras (sea monsters). Those merchants, terrified, uttered various cries of lamentation and prostrated to and called upon various deities. At that time, a wise captain who had faith in the Three Jewels and did not take refuge in other deities comforted those merchants, respectfully, with a mind focused on the Buddha, together with those merchants
