禪門語錄

Words of Chan

第一篇01.01         佛與凡夫和假修道者

佛不做皇帝，但也曾經做過皇帝；

佛不搞組織，但常一千二百五十人俱；

佛不在有、空、即有即空、非有非空中；

佛在和諧的一切存在與統一的宇宙中。

佛在常樂我靜寂光中。

佛沒有什麼人間佛教，祂是盡虛空、遍法界，照應一切的。

凡夫呢？

假修道者呢？

反佛道而行，比俗人還俗。

Chapter One 01.01             Buddhist, Bono and Pseudo Ascetics

Buddha Shakyamuni has no intent to be an emperor, yet he was once before;

Buddha Shakyamuni does not link with any organizations, yet he was surrounded all the time by one thousand two hundred and fifty followers then;

Buddha is neither in "existence" nor "emptiness"; and is not in “existence, coinciding in emptiness" or in "nonexistence, coinciding in non-emptiness” either;

Buddha is in the presence of all the harmony and unity of the universe.

Buddha dwells in the everlasting light of eternity, bliss, personality, and purity.

The Buddha has no secular Buddhism;He entirely empties all the void and spreads all over the realm of Dharmaand enlightens everything correspondingly.

How about ordinary people?

How about the pseudo ascetics?

Those who practice Buddhism in reverse are even less appropriate than the layperson.

第一篇01.02         真儒與假儒

凡儒者必講理且合禮。

個人、家庭、團體、社會、天下國家，一切種種，特別是社會風氣與制度，若不合理與非禮，即非儒，且必為假儒。

Chapter One 01.02            Genuine Confucianist versus Pseudo-Confucianist

Every Confucianist must be reasonable and courteous.

Individuals, families, groups, societies, nations, and all kinds of social customs and systems, if they are unreasonable and indecent, they are not Confucianism and must be fake Confucianism.

第一篇01.03         道仙

身體健康萬萬壽;

心理平靜幽幽懷;

生活灑灑逍遙遊;

反其道者;

不是身病，就是心苦。

活著無方，死也無路。

Chapter One 01.03             Celestial Being

A sound physical condition brings longevity;

A calm mental state accompanies with a leisurely mood;

A life of leisurely wandering;

Those who do not follow the same path;

Either become physically ill or mentally suffering.

There is no direction to follow when alive, and there is no way to die.

第一篇01.04         打算

吃不窮，用不窮，沒有打算一輩子窮。

這些是我要活下去的世俗話。

其實若想通且看破了，

沒有打算才是最好的打算。

老子說得好：

無謀略，是最好的謀略。

給別人越多，自己也就得更多。

Chapter One 01.04             Setting Up

Daily meals and basic needs are enough and endless, and I have no intention of being impoverished for life.

These are the secular words that I want to live.

If you figure it out and see through it,

No plan is the best plan.

Lao Tzu said it well:

No stratagem is the best stratagem.

The more you give to others, the more you get for yourself.
