佛頂尊勝陀羅尼經教跡義記 1.23

1.23

第六聽法儀軌者，依《大集經》云：「說法者作三種想：第一作醫王想，第二作救病想，第三作拔苦想。聽法者亦作三種想：第一作甘露想，第二作醍醐想，第三作除病想。」又《智度論》云：「聽法者一心端視，如渴思漿、如飢思食，聞法歡喜。」又《智度論》云：「聽法有其三種：一者恭敬供養，二者受持讀誦，三者繫念思惟。第一恭敬供養者，是身業善，能生聞慧，得三種福，一者長命人相具足、二者大富饒財寶、三者蓮華化生。第二受持讀誦者，是口業善，能生思慧，得四種福，一者所言人信、二者所言人順、三者眷屬團圓、四者不被誹謗。第三繫念思惟者，是意業善，能生修慧，得三種福，一者衣食自然、二者得大端正、三者得大智慧。」此則是第六聽法儀軌竟。

Sixth, regarding the ritual protocol for listening to the Dharma: according to the Mahāsaṃnipāta Sūtra, "The preacher of the Dharma must give rise to three kinds of thoughts: first, conceive the thought of being a king of physicians; second, conceive the thought of curing illness; third, conceive the thought of pulling out suffering. The listener to the Dharma must also give rise to three kinds of thoughts: first, conceive the thought of ambrosia (amṛta); second, conceive the thought of ghee; third, conceive the thought of dispelling illness." Furthermore, the Dàzhìdù lùn says: "The listener to the Dharma concentrates the mind and looks uprightly, as one who is thirsty yearns for drink, as one who is hungry yearns for food, rejoicing upon hearing the Dharma." Furthermore, the Dàzhìdù lùn says: "There are three ways of listening to the Dharma: first, revering and making offerings; second, receiving, upholding, reading, and reciting; third, tying mindfulness [to it] and reflecting upon it. First, revering and making offerings is good karma of the body; it can generate the wisdom born of hearing, and obtains three kinds of blessings: first, long life and the possession of human bodily marks; second, great wealth and abundant treasures; third, transformationally born from a lotus flower. Second, receiving, upholding, reading, and reciting is good karma of speech; it can generate the wisdom born of reflection, and obtains four kinds of blessings: first, people believe one's words; second, people comply with one's words; third, one's retinue is harmonious and reunited; fourth, one is not slandered. Third, tying mindfulness [to it] and reflecting upon it is good karma of the mind; it can generate the wisdom born of cultivation, and obtains three kinds of blessings: first, clothing and food come naturally; second, obtaining great dignity and beauty; third, obtaining great wisdom." This concludes the sixth, on the ritual protocol for listening to the Dharma.
