    《星雲禪話》能大能小

      有一位信徒問無德禪師說:「同樣一顆心,為什麼心量有的很大,有的很小呢?心量大的人,即使是仇敵,他都能包容;心量小的人,即使是親人,他也會斤斤計較。這是什麼原因呢?」

    無德禪師沒有立刻給他直接的答覆,而是告訴他:「你把眼睛閉起來,用心去建築一座高樓。」那位信徒閉目冥思,心中就構畫了一座高樓。所謂:「三界唯心,萬法唯識」,這位信徒經過一陣的冥思後,就說:「高樓已建造完畢。」

    禪師再叫信徒把眼睛閉起來,造一根毫毛。信徒依言把眼睛閉起來,一會兒,一根毫毛也造完成了。

    這時,無德禪師問他:「當你用心去建造高樓的時候,是不是只用一個人的心去造?有沒有借用別人的心來造?」信徒說:「我只用自己的心就能建造一座高樓了。」

    禪師再問:「當你閉起眼睛要造一根毫毛的時候,是用全部的心去造呢?還是用一部分的心去造呢?」

    信徒說:「我是用全部的心去造的。」 (圖/李蕭錕)

    無德禪師就對信徒開示:「你造一座高大的樓房,只用一個心,造一根很小的毫毛,你還是用一個心,可見心能大能小。」



    所以,懂得禪的人,不但可以了解到「心是能大能小」,甚至有了禪,無所不能,能大能小,能有能無,能苦能樂,能多能少,能早能晚,能冷能熱。因為禪心本性,無所不能。
