觀無量壽佛經義疏 2.80

2.80

「『於臺兩邊，各有百億華幢、無量樂器以為莊嚴。八種清風從光明出，鼓此樂器，演說苦、空、無常、無我之音。』」華幢樂器四面圍繞，風動出聲，說法警眾。風生八方，故云八種。彼無時節，且對此方，故云八耳。苦空等法，即四念處：觀身不淨、觀受是苦、觀心無常、觀法無我。以此四法，對破四倒。文中空字且對觀身，知倒計亡非空何謂？二、結示。

"'On both sides of the platforms, there are respectively ten billion flower-banners and immeasurable musical instruments as adornments. Eight kinds of pure breezes emanate from the light, blowing upon these musical instruments and expounding the sounds of suffering, emptiness, impermanence, and non-self.'" Flower-banners and musical instruments surround on four sides; when the wind stirs, sounds emerge, expounding the Dharma to awaken the assembly. The winds arise from the eight directions, hence they are called "eight kinds." In that land there are no seasonal periods; this is spoken provisionally in relation to this world, hence it simply says "eight." Dharmas such as suffering and emptiness are precisely the four applications of mindfulness: contemplating the body as impure, contemplating feelings as suffering, contemplating the mind as impermanent, and contemplating phenomena as non-self. By means of these four dharmas, the four inverted views are counteracted. The word "emptiness" in the text provisionally corresponds to the contemplation of the body; when one recognizes the inverted view and false reckoning is eliminated, what could it be called if not emptiness? Second, the concluding instruction.
