《兜率天修行林巴利课诵本》之小解说汇集
走过了十个年头,修订了两次内容,结合了传统与实修的《兜率天修行林课诵本》,在很多说法、求法、请法、解惑、禅修、请戒、回向、发愿、祝福、危急、病苦、临终、葬礼等等场合,从小道场走出世界,在人生的生老病死之大事里都不曾缺席过。 相信很多贤友也有请回《兜率天修行林课诵本》学习,了解原始佛教的根本教义和修行法门,甚至可以朗朗上口地背诵很多护卫经文。然而,佛陀的经文如果单单从字面上来理解有时是不足够的,还需要有精通法义并具足实修实证的长老们为经文作注解。 这里精选了一些由吉祥尊者在带领早课念诵时对经文念诵的段落解说,欢迎大家下载恭听共沾吉祥法益,让我们一起从中学习与领悟到课诵本经文里更深层的殊胜义。虽然有些解说简短,但都是吉祥尊者长年累月的体悟、实践与融会贯通在各个层面,历经二十多年出家岁月沉淀后的智慧结晶。 要完全发挥出念诵经文的法力,以便能对我们的生命起着护卫作用和提升我们的慧命,其中一个条件是要带着理解的心来念诵,并持之以恒地把经文的法义实践在我们的日常生活里。 有些经文的解说虽然是重讲,是吉祥尊者在另一个不同的场合里给予的开示,或是从另一个角度来切入,或者是更详尽的解说,也或许是吉祥尊者最新的感悟等。无论如何,重复,本身就有强大的力量,因为自然界有一种缘是重复缘(Āsevanapaccayo)。当法义一再重复的听着时,不仅可以更根深地植入我们的心扉,通过不断地实践还可以领悟出更深层的意境,豁然开朗起来,负能量被正能量祛除,黑暗被光明取代之;甚至到了更高层次的体证时,可以把埋藏长久的纠结和生命的疑惑都解开了都是可能的呢,因为已经亲自看到了“法”,得到了永恒的安稳。
