佛門人生大智慧

By 洪丕謨

說到佛門智慧，禪的智慧頗能啟人心智。當年馬祖向懷讓學習佛法，為了修成正果，馬祖整天坐禪不輟，可懷讓卻不這樣認為，他取了塊磚在馬祖跟前磨來磨去，說是要把磚頭磨成鏡子。馬祖感到好生有怪，便問：「你這是幹什麼來？」懷讓正等著馬祖的這句話，於是順勢開導：「磨磚既然不能成鏡，那你坐禪又何能成佛呢？」接著並諄諄教誨：「如果你一味執著地在坐相上學佛，就等於扼殺了佛，一輩子也休想夢見大道。」打這以後，馬祖便有所感悟，最後終於成為一個著名的禪師。懷讓不愧是個聰明的教育家。他善於尋求機契，誘導學生主動發問，然後因勢利導，事半功倍。透過這則故事，我們同時又可看到，對於學禪來說，只要你一旦徹悟禪機，那未吃飯穿衣、挑水劈柴、琴棋書畫、行立坐臥，隨時隨地，無非禪也，並不一定要斤斤計較於死板的形式。這就從一個方面啟示我們，一個人只要從心靈上徹底打碎貧富榮辱等種種精神枷鎖的束縛，那麼他就能活得瀟灑、活得自在，從而優哉游哉，入於無往而不愉悅、「日日是好日」的禪境了。當然，佛門智慧的光環還普遍顯現在佛法和平時的修行生活，以及佛教文化之中。比如，修行生活中有不殺生、不偷盜、不邪淫、不妄語、不飲酒等好多清規戒律，而弘揚這些清規戒律中的有益成分，對於我們維護自然界生態平衡，促進社會安定團結，建設現代精神文明，不無借鑒之處。再如佛教文化中在文學、藝術、醫學等領域所閃現出來的智光，對於啟迪人類文明的進一步發展，更是大有文章可做。佛門是崇尚智慧的。在教佛觀音、地藏、文殊、普賢四大菩薩中，觀音大悲、地藏大願、文殊大智、普賢大行。文殊可謂是智慧的象徵。你看，他頭梳五個髻子，既反映了童子的天真，又表示著法界體性智、大圓鏡智、平等性智、妙觀察智、成所作智等五種智慧。左手所持蓮花上面，安放著一本《般若經》，體現著般若一塵不染的大智。右手執持金剛寶劍，意在象徵智慧能夠斷除一切煩惱，就好比寶劍能夠斬除群魔一樣。妙還妙在文殊菩薩座下的那頭獅子，在很大程度上顯現了智慧的法力和勇猛。縱觀佛門智慧，既體現在哲理的探求方面，又體現在生活的體味和文藝的創造等方面；既有出世的高度，又有入世的深度。這裡只有安於寂寞、與人為善的安詳和睿智，沒有驚於寵辱，營營擾擾的權術。親愛的讀者朋友，如果你的心理一時失去平衡，生活得太累太沈重，不妨受點佛門智慧的啟迪，你將由此而獲得一種別有奇趣的心靈救濟法門。這裡，佛門的寬宏、謙退、精進、智慧，將使你重新悟出拼得人生和享受人生的無窮樂趣。如果你在這世上生活得並不太累太沈重，或者竟是那麼的歡樂無憂—?當然這是多數，那麼佛門的智慧也將給你的人生添上一抹瑰麗的奇彩，如果你願意的話。
