出家人是菩萨再来吗？

菩萨有在家，出家之分，早期出家只有比丘，中期佛教才出现大乘菩萨。何谓菩萨？分圣位菩萨，凡夫菩萨。文殊，观音，地藏，普贤是圣位。发一念菩提心，即是凡夫菩萨，属于信位菩萨，除了一念信心，没有其它的大功德和神通，信心一退，就是一个凡夫。凡是出家人，无不希望自己做大菩萨，与普通人做大老板是一样。鸟往高处飞，水往低处流。不想做将军的士兵不是好士兵，人性如此。按现在三坛大戒的要求，每个人都要受菩萨戒，发菩提心，人人都是菩萨。那出家人会不会每天给自己不自觉地催眠----我要发菩提心，我要做菩萨？是的！这是出家人的目标，一定会自我催眠的。十年、二十年、三十年......七十年下来，你说自我催眠的自我感觉会不会很好？这是可以肯定的。现在的社会看人看问题都是用审视的眼光，谁能过得了关！再说圣人与凡夫外表本来没区别，佛陀在世，受尽仕者善星比丘的不尊重，善星认为你也托钵吃饭、我也托钵吃饭，不过如此，你就是个普通人。我们对圣人贤哲的要求，都是非理性的，不是把他当人看，而是当神看待，所以佛陀不允许弟子显神通，因为人是先入为主的把你当神了。我的自我感觉已经是佛了，因为我心与佛心在一起，不过我还是凡夫，我要吃喝拉撒。我已经不想自我催眠了，不过我认为佛与凡夫无二无别，此心与佛同在，我认为可以了。人要象彩虹一样，出现一下，大家看一眼，永远地消失了！

Are bikkhus and bikunnis from bodhhisattvas coming for rebirth?

(Are buddhist monks bodhhisattvas who came into rebirth?)

There are monk bodhhisattvas and lay bodhhisattvas. In the early buddha's time there was only monks.

Later mahayana bodhisvaras arose. What are bodhisvaras? There are two kinds: saint and common people.(ariya and anariya)

Wenshu, Guanyin, Dizang and Puxian are saint bodhisvaras. Common people with one mind of bodhhi heart becomes common bodhisvara.

Since it is only because of one mind of belief, they have neither merits nor virtues to have magical power.

Once this one mind and belief disappears, they become common people again.

All the ordained monks want to be bodhisvaras.Just like everyone likes to be boss. This is human nature just like water winds from higher place to lower place and birds flies high into the sky.

The soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.

Now monks who ask for being ordained also need bodhisvara cilla among three kinds of cillas.

So do they repeat the bodhisvara wish everyday to remind themselves like self hypnosis? I think so, because this is their ideal object. They repeat it day by day for ten years, twenty years or seventy years. And what result would come out? What do you think?

Surely they must have this self fulfilment for this kind of self hypnosis.

Nowadays people are used to watch monks with an inspecting attitude.

There are not so many difference in appearance between saints and normal people. When budhha was alive, there was also a monk named shanxing always showing disrespect. He regarded budhha as normal, since buddha also need to be a mendicant and eat like normal monks, so do shanxing monk.

We have unrational understanding for saints. We don't take them as normal people but godlike saints. So budhha did not allow his followers to show magical power.

Because once you shows magical power, others would take you as a god.

I feel like that i am already like what buddha is, because my heart is with buddha. But i am still normal person, since i still need to eat, drink and go to toilet.

But i don't want this way of self hypnosis to find self fulfilment. I think buddha is nowhere different from normal, only when our awareness is there, we are with buddha already.

We should be like the rainbow which appears for one moment, only to show the moment for one sight , and then disappears forever.

净明法师随笔

前天明禅院茶熏和禅修，中午午餐让大家练习话头，从粗糙的不知不觉动作慢慢回到细致的觉知。一个女居士的手定在空中不动了。一看，她又羞或自得而笑。我见她很快入参用得上方法，也很开心，逼问了几句。

下午问答的时候，她的声音如淙淙流水，滔滔不绝诉说着烦恼。“我……”我……我……无数个我开头的“生气”评判等等烦恼。我让她把所有的我换成“佛”，再说她那些烦恼和问题。突然，她停住没法说了。又开口，我再让她换成“佛”，我说: 把你所有的“我”换成“佛”，看看你还有什么！她开始说“佛说佛还会对家人生气”……一看，不对。停下来了。

“我”一换成佛，不停歇的自我强化的烦恼，暂时熄灭。另一个学员回头对她说: 她就是让你说“我就是佛！”

第三次，她又要说她的烦恼。我问她:佛是什么？她默然停下。另一个学员答:佛是心。我转而对她说: 好，你现在把我改成”心”，继续说你的烦恼和问题。她开始: 心说……就停下来了。

我让大家把手心放在心口。我说: 有回头看心，当下把烦恼心看看。一看，就空了。当下歇下。你就是佛。佛是没有我的啊。”我”死了，就作佛。

她手贴心口，闭目。点头默然。

她还起心要说话: 我知道我在生活中还会有……，我也知道……

我用她换成佛的口说: 佛说……我唯一知道的就是我什么也不知道。

大家默然。

自以为知道，清楚，明白，才是烦恼之源。而回头去看，看，看，才是每个当下出离抽空烦恼之道。

感恩看话参禅的禅师教我这个法……体悟一点，行到一点，此心又增信一分。
