修行的終點(The Final Destination of the Path)

有段時間沒寫這方面的文章了

正巧昨天看到一篇推文

是關於宣隆禪師的教法

看完後心欣喜不已

就來這邊致敬一番

廢話不多說


宣隆禪師的主要方式為觀苦

就是專注呼吸並看著苦受的滅去

只需要這樣就可以証果(因緣俱足可達阿羅漢

沒有太複雜的方式跟原理


以下是寫給心喜歡複雜的看

為什麼只要不斷地看著苦受的滅去 ??

還記得四聖諦嗎

滅是道的因

當心不斷不斷地看見苦

苦又不斷不斷的滅去

最終心自然會接受實相

無常無我


若是不斷的追尋生起的受

而不是專注在單一苦的滅去

心反而會因為不斷的生而欣喜

而不會因為不斷的滅而厭離

自然無法見道


畢竟阿羅漢的定義是盡滅貪


所以只需苦受生起時

不逃避

面對苦

看著它滅去


因緣俱足時

果報自來


願各位幸福無煩惱

============================

It has been a while since I last wrote on this topic.

Coincidentally, I came across a post yesterday regarding the teachings of Sayadaw U Sunlun.

After reading it, my heart was filled with profound joy (pīti), so I came here to pay my respects.

Without further ado.


The primary method of Sayadaw U Sunlun is the contemplation of suffering (dukkha).

It is simply to focus on the breath and observe the cessation (nirodha) of painful feelings (dukkha-vedanā).

By doing only this, one can realize the fruits of the path (phala)—reaching the stage of an Arahant when causes and conditions (paccaya) are fully matured.

There are no overly complex methods or principles involved.


The following is written for minds that delight in complexity:

Why is it enough to continuously observe the cessation of painful feelings?

Do you still remember the Four Noble Truths (Cattāri Ariyasaccāni)?

Suffering (dukkha), origin (samudaya), cessation (nirodha), and the path (magga).

Cessation is the cause of the path.

When the mind continuously observes suffering, and suffering continuously ceases, the mind will naturally accept the ultimate reality (yathā-bhūta):

Impermanence (anicca), suffering (dukkha), and non-self (anattā).


If one continuously pursues arising feelings (vedanā) instead of focusing on the cessation of a single suffering, the mind will instead delight in the continuous arising, rather than turning away with dispassion (nibbidā) toward the continuous cessation.

Naturally, one will be unable to see the path (magga).

After all, the definition of an Arahant is the total destruction of greed (lobha), hatred (dosa), and delusion (moha).


Therefore, when painful feelings (dukkha-vedanā) arise,

do not escape it.

Face the suffering,

and observe its cessation.

When causes and conditions are fully matured,

the fruit of realization will naturally come.


May you all be happy and free from all defilements (kilesa).
