西方合論 3.34

3.34

一、《文殊般若經》云：「佛告文殊：『欲入一行三昧者，應處空間捨諸亂意，不取相貌，繫心一佛，專稱名字，隨彼方所端身正向，能于一佛念念相續，即是念中，能見過去未來見在諸佛。念一佛功德，與念無量佛功德無二。阿難所聞佛法，猶住量數；若得一行三昧，諸經法門，一一分別，皆悉了知，晝夜宣說，智慧辯才，終不斷絕。阿難多聞辯才百千等分，不及其一。』」

The Mañjuśrī-prajñāpāramitā-sūtra says: "The Buddha told Mañjuśrī: 'One who wishes to enter the single-practice samādhi should abide in an empty place, abandon all distracted thoughts, not grasp at physical appearances, fix the mind on one Buddha, and recite his name exclusively. Facing upright in the direction where he dwells, if one can maintain continuous thought upon this one Buddha thought after thought, then within that mindfulness one can see the Buddhas of past, future, and present. The merit of being mindful of one Buddha is non-dual with the merit of being mindful of immeasurable Buddhas. The Buddha-dharma heard by Ānanda was still subject to measure and number; but if one attains the single-practice samādhi, one distinguishes and completely understands each and every sūtra and Dharma-gate, expounding them day and night, with wisdom and eloquence that never cease. A hundred thousand fractions of Ānanda's vast learning and eloquence would not equal a single part of it.'"
