淡化歸空 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體

收境入尊由下上,外層入內攝歸空;
心注呼吸智淨業,明顯虹身漸淡化。

傳統的儀軌中,觀境之收攝,先將一切周遭化光收入本尊。再將本尊之蓮、座、日、月墊,由下而上收入尊身。明空之尊身再由外向內收入心輪之智尊或咒輪。然後再由外向內,由下向上,收入更微細處,直至最後全然歸於「無雲晴空」之光明。

拙創之證契儀軌內,加入深呼吸「入、住、出」之修習,並益以智悲氣淨化業濁氣之觀想,而於聖凡「一氣」之修習間,聖凡之區分逐漸淡化,因而明顯尊身之觀想亦隨之淡化,終至全法界之融入「無雲晴空」之光明。

傳統之收攝,直到最後微細一線之歸空,方經由「淡化」。拙創之收攝,則經由心注於氣,而使觀想自然逐漸整體淡化。日前弟子敬行提問及此,因此思及此點區別,而陳述之,以助修法者之瞭解。

Fading into Light Yutang Lin

Surroundings absorbed into Yidam, then from lower into upper
Outer layers merged into inner ones, and eventually into light
Mind concentrated on breathing, wisdom purified karmas
Vivid rainbow-like body gradually faded into sky-blue light.

Comment:

In traditional Sadhanas absorption of visualization into Sunyata starts with all surroundings transform into light and go into the Yidam. Then the lotus, throne, sun and moon discs, from lower to upper, merge into the Yidam. The rainbow-like Yidam body merges, from outer into inner layers, into the wisdom being or mantra wheel inside the heart chakra. And then, from outer into inner and from lower into upper, all converge into ever finer parts, until the eventual complete merging into the brilliance of a "cloudless sunny sky."

In the Unification Sadhanas I composed I had added the practice of deep breathing in three stages: inhaling, holding, and exhaling. In addition, I had incorporated, into the breathing practice, the visualization of wisdom and compassion purifying karmic polluted airs. Thus, through the communion in one breath of Yidam and all sentient beings, the nominal distinction between "holy Yidam" and "sentient being" gradually faded away, and hence the vivid visualization of the Yidam body also faded along and gradually away, and eventually the whole Dharmadhatu merged into the brilliance of a "cloudless sunny sky."

During the traditional absorption processes only the final absorption of a fine and short line into light is through "fading." In the absorption process as I composed, it is through concentration of mind on breathing that the visualization is naturally and gradually faded away as a whole. A few days ago disciple Jing Xing raised questions about absorption in my Unification Sadhanas, and hence this distinction came to my attention. Now I wrote it down to help practitioners comprehend this subtle point.
