無智亦無得 林鈺堂 〈心經〉闡示空性，說：無智亦無得。足見證悟並無所得，亦無關智愚，而只是徹悟本來無限之開朗。 不明此理者，學佛也是存心有所求，期盼有所得。不管如何投入，其行止皆不離其對所求、所得之評估。換言之，還是在「著相、我執」的範圍內繞圈子。 成佛只是回歸本來的純淨與無限開闊。而此種回歸本淨的根本障礙也只是認不清「我執」在作祟，卻反為小我之見解及偏私所限、所誤導。 希望學佛而實修者皆能認清這些佛理，而不誤入歧途，並能在覺道上邁進！ 二○一八年四月九日
Neither Wisdom nor Gain Yutang Lin
Expounding on Blank Essence, the ″Heart Sutra″ states, ″neither wisdom nor gain″. Thus, the Sutra clearly indicates that Enlightenment is not gaining something, and also that it has nothing to do with the distinction of being wise or ignorant, but only a thorough comprehension of openness that is originally boundless. Some Buddhists fail to comprehend this essential point, and hence they practice toward enlightenment with certain intentions and expecting some gains. No matter how devoted they are to the Dharma practices and activities, their actions and inactions do not go beyond their evaluation on their intentions and gains. In other words, they simply circle around in the sphere of their own ″grasping to forms and self″. Full Enlightenment is simply resuming original purity in boundless openness. And the fundamental hindrance to such resuming of original purity is nothing but one′s failure to recognize clearly that it is the mischievous functioning of personal grasping to ″self″, and yet, instead, one becomes being limited and misled by prejudices and partiality of one′s ″self″. May Buddhists who engage in ardent Dharma practices all recognize clearly these Dharma principles, and thereby refrain from going astray but, instead, advance smoothly on the right path toward Full Enlightenment!
