佛在鏡中

「距今約一千三百年前,唐朝有位修行人名叫馬祖道一,他為了開悟而每天打坐,他的師父南嶽懷讓是開悟的人。南嶽知道馬祖是法器,想要點化他,於是有一天就去馬祖打坐的地方問他:「大德坐禪圖甚麼?」馬祖回答:「圖作佛。」南嶽就在馬祖住的茅蓬外拿了一塊磚,在石頭上磨磚塊。

 

南嶽就在馬祖住的茅蓬外拿了一塊磚,在石頭上磨磚塊。馬祖疑惑問:「磨作甚麼?」南嶽回答:「磨作鏡。」 馬祖問:「磨磚豈得成鏡邪?」南嶽回答:「磨磚既不成鏡,坐禪豈得作佛?」南嶽進一步開示馬祖:「汝學坐禪、為學坐佛?若學坐禪,禪非坐臥。若學坐佛,佛非定相。於無住法,不應取捨。汝若坐佛,即是殺佛。若執坐相,非達其理。」馬祖聽了南嶽的教誨,猶如醍醐灌頂。」

我一直下功夫專心修練佛法。我是不是過份專心了?
