觀念阿彌陀佛相海三昧功德法門 1.16

1.16

「立一念，信是法，隨所聞，念其方。
宜一念，斷諸想，立定信，勿狐疑。
精進行，勿懈怠；勿起想，有與無；
勿念進、勿念退，勿念前、勿念後，
勿念左、勿念右，勿念無、勿念有，
勿念遠、勿念近，勿念痛、勿念痒，
勿念飢、勿念渴，勿念寒、勿念熱，
勿念苦、勿念樂，勿念生、勿念老、
勿念病、勿念死，勿念命、勿念壽，
勿念貧、勿念富，勿念貴、勿念賤，
勿念色、勿念欲，勿念小、勿念大，
勿念長、勿念短，勿念好、勿念醜，
勿念惡、勿念善，勿念瞋、勿念喜，
勿念坐、勿念起，勿念行、勿念止，
勿念經、勿念法，勿念是、勿念非，
勿念捨、勿念取，勿念想、勿念識，
勿念斷、勿念著，勿念空、勿念實，
勿念輕、勿念重，勿念難、勿念易，
勿念深、勿念淺，勿念廣、勿念狹，
勿念父、勿念母、勿念妻、勿念子，
勿念親、勿念疎，勿念憎、勿念愛，
勿念得、勿念失，勿念成、勿念敗，
勿念清、勿念濁。斷諸念，一期念，
意勿亂，常精進。勿歲計、勿日倦，
立一念，勿中忽，除睡眠，精其意。
常獨處，勿聚會，避惡人、近善友，
親明師，視如佛。執其志，常柔弱，
觀平等，於一切。避鄉里、遠親族，
棄愛欲，履清淨。行無為，斷諸欲，
捨亂意，習定行。學文慧，必如禪，
除三穢，去六入。絕婬色，離眾愛，
勿貪財，多畜積。食知足，勿貪味，
眾生命，慎勿食。衣如法，勿綺飾。
勿調戲、勿憍慢、勿自大、勿貢高。
若說經，當如法，了身本，由如幻。
勿受陰、勿入界，陰如賊，四如蛇，
為無常，為恍忽，無常主，了本無。
因緣會，因緣散，悉了是，知本無。
加慈哀，於一切，施貧窮，濟不還。
是為定，菩薩行，至要慧，超眾行。」

Do not grasp at skandhas, do not enter the dhātus; / The skandhas are like bandits, the four [elements] like snakes;
They are impermanent, they are fleeting; / Having no permanent master, understand them as fundamentally non-existent.
Causes and conditions assemble, causes and conditions disperse; / Understand all of this, know they are fundamentally non-existent.
Extend loving-kindness and compassion toward all; / Give to the poor, rescue those without recourse.
This is samādhi, the bodhisattva practice; / The most essential wisdom, surpassing the multitude of practices."
