《山海天人》一書希望帶領讀者,從兩種層次來領略華嚴聖山的意涵。
*外在的層次是指靈鷲山的聖境風景
*內在的層次分別彰顯著四法界觀
*「山」對應事法界
*「海」對應理事無礙法界
*「天」對應理法界
*「人」對應事事無礙法界
本書以山海天人之概念,彰顯華嚴的四法界觀。山對應於事法界,海對應於理事無礙法界,天對應於理法界,人對應於事事無礙法界。其對應之理,如偈所云:
山之章:華嚴聖山入法界 事法界中說俗諦。「在於針對世俗諦中種種的觀念加以智慧的詮釋」。
海之章:毗盧性海歸體性 理事無礙心即佛。「心、性」,心屬於事,體性屬於理,心歸體性,性由心顯,心性互融,因此「理事無礙心即佛」,心佛無礙而互融,由此彰顯修心法門之奧祕。
天之章:虛空法身無言說 理法界中體性空。「直指心性」、「直指法界」。也就是對於無言的虛空法身起言說。
人之章:普賢行願窮三際 事事無礙菩薩行。普賢十願,乃事事無礙法界力用之具體展現,其中總廓一切菩薩行。
乃是於界生之事中行菩薩之事,以菩薩之事開覺眾生之心,是故菩薩行之根源,即事事無礙法界。
願讀者在欣賞華嚴聖境的同時也能仔細品味心道法師的智慧法語,進而廣發菩提心,共同打造心靈的聖山。
In this book the concept of “mountain, sea, sky, man” is used to express the “four realms of reality” of the Huayan school of Buddhism. Mountain corresponds to the realm of individual phenomena; sea corresponds to the realm of nonobstruction
between principle and phenomena; sky corresponds to the realm of the one principle (śūnyatā) ; and man corresponds to the realm of nonobstruction between phenomena, The same correspondence is expressed in the following verse:
Mountain:
From the sacred mountain of Huayan, entering the realm of reality; conventional truth is spoken in the realm of individual phenomena.
Sea:
Returning to the essence through the sea of Vairocana; Buddha is the realm of nonobstruction between principle and phenomena.
Sky:
The universal Dharmakaya is ineffable; in the realm of the one principle the essential nature is emptiness itself.
Man:
The vows of Samantabhadra span the three times; the realm of nonobstruction between phenomena—this is the Bodhisattva practice.
