婆羅浮屠朝佛記 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體
二○一二年弟子榮利及疾呼提請我有暇時帶領他們去印尼朝禮佛教古蹟聖地婆羅浮屠。二○一三年去新加坡弘法時當地有些佛友也提及請我帶團前往此聖蹟朝禮。我因年事已高，對長途跋涉不甚熱衷，未認真考慮此等提請。
二○一四年八月六日由北京飛往台北前之清晨，夢見「林鈺南請出發」字樣。當時即知此乃提請我實現此南行朝聖之旅的意思。我告訴隨行之弟子疾呼此夢兆；她轉告弟子空慧，空慧即發心供養此程。
二○一五年我尚未認真考慮此行。二○一六年三月在安排亞洲弘法之行時，才接受弟子再三提請，決定實施。空慧為減少旅程之煩瑣，只安排了我及三位弟子隨行之輕便三日遊。行程機票及旅舍訂妥後，在五月廿二日才在報上得知印尼政府今年首度在此聖蹟舉行衛塞節慶典，廣邀世界各地佛教團體共襄盛舉。
今年六月一日結束在馬六甲之法務活動。翌日我們一行即由吉隆坡出發，飛往印尼之日惹。抵達旅舍已是夜間十時。
六月三日晨八時我們前往聖蹟朝禮。一走近聖蹟即感受龐大而溫和的加持力籠罩。我即率領弟子們一邊向上前進，一邊作每日的功課。在每一層我們都右旋禮繞一圈，而後再上一層；屢屢由衷地感動欲淚。令我領悟到，只要真誠地為法奉獻，其結果必然在法界中留下永久的菩提道力。五月卅一日在馬六甲及六月三日清晨在日惹皆領受到法身直接加持至無限一體之覺受，足見朝禮此聖蹟之殊勝以及此聖蹟即法身代表之內涵。我作此記也是為了增添一份對此聖蹟之加持力的見證，以便有更多見聞者能同沐佛恩。
在頂層我叫弟子疾呼背誦陳祖師所作之〈心佛眾三相續菩提心啟請頌〉。隨後我即修「三身頗瓦法」，與印尼待渡眾結緣。
次日我們又去朝禮當地一些佛寺。在沙利古寺——據傳是為供度母而建——見壁上皆為種種姿態之度母像。疾呼拍照後，見晴空中所攝之照片，卻有些出現許多光圈，其中並有一張似有輕煙，形成一度母相。足見朝禮之誠感得度母化現加持。
當晚我們即飛回吉隆坡繼續今年亞洲弘法之旅。

Pilgrimage to Borobudur
Yutang Lin
In 2012 disciples Yong Lee and Ji Hu requested that I lead them on a pilgrimage to the Buddhist heritage site of Borobudur in Indonesia when I have time. In 2013 during my Dharma tour in Singapore some Buddhists there also suggested that I lead a group on a pilgrimage to this holy site. Since I was advanced in age and hence not keen to long trips, I did not seriously consider these suggestions.
In early morning on August 6, 2014 right before my flight from Beijing to Taipei, I saw in a dream the Chinese characters ″Lin Yu Nan Qing Chu Fa″, meaning ″Lin Yu(tang) south, please embark!″ Right then I comprehended that it was asking me to go on this pilgrimage trip. I told disciple Ji Hu who was accompanying me on the flight about this omen. She told disciple Kong Hui, and he right away offered to sponsor this pilgrimage.
In 2015 I still did not take this trip seriously. In March 2016 while arranging details of my Dharma tour to Asia I eventually agreed to repeated requests from disciples on this matter. Disciple Kong Hui, to avoid too much chores for the trip, arranged a light and easy 3-day trip for only me and 3 attending disciples. After airline tickets and hotel reservations have all been purchased, only much later on May 22 we learned from news articles that this year the Indonesian government has sponsored a huge celebration on Wesak for the very first time, and has invited Buddhist groups from all over the world to join the huge ceremony.
On June 1 this year we accomplished all Dharma activities in Malacca. The next day we flew from Kuala Lumpur to Yogyakarta, Indonesia. When we arrived the hotel it was already 10 o′clock at night.
8 am on June 3 we went on the pilgrimage to the holy site. As soon as we approached the holy site we immediately felt an enormous and mild power of blessing enwrapped us. I led disciples to advance upwards while practicing my daily practices. At each level we circumambulate clockwise once and then moved up to the next higher level; frequently we felt deeply moved to the verge of tears. Thus I realized that, as long as one makes sincere dedications for Dharma, the results will definitely leave permanent power of Bodhi (enlightenment) in the Dharmadhatu. Both on May 31 in Malacca and in the early morning on June 3 in Yogyakarta I received direct blessing from Dharmakaya leading to comprehension of limitless oneness. Thus it is clearly demonstrated that pilgrimage to this holy site is superior, and that this holy site signifies a representation of the Dharmakaya. I recorded this pilgrimage so as to add one more testimony witnessing the blessing power of this holy site so that more beings may share Buddha′s blessings upon seeing or hearing about it.
At the top level I asked disciple Ji Hu to recite Patriarch Chen′s Chinese work, ″Supplication to Bodhicitta Connecting Mind, Buddha and Sentient Beings.″ And then I practiced the Three-kaya Powa to build Dharma connections with deceased beings in Indonesia.
The next day we went on pilgrimage to a few local Buddhist monasteries. At the site of the ancient Candi Sari—said to be constructed for making offerings to Green Tara—we saw on its exterior walls carvings of assorted postures of Tara. Disciple Ji Hu took some photos, and then noticed that, even though it was sunny, in some photos taken there, there were many circles of light, and one of them shows light smokes forming a standing Tara. Thus it illustrates that our devotion in making this pilgrimage had inspired the blessing of Tara′s presence.
That evening we flew back to Kuala Lumpur to continue on our way to this year′s Dharma tour in Asia.
