    《星雲禪話》豈曾混淆
      2009/11/10 | 作者:星雲大師 | 點閱次數:266 | 推薦朋友 | 新聞評分 | 環保列印
      有位雲水僧在各地參訪學禪,經過一位老太太所管理的庵堂,他進去掛單,好奇地問:「師姑,這一座庵堂,除了你之外,還有其他的眷屬嗎?」

    老婆婆說:「山河大地,樹木花草,飛禽走獸,一切都是我的眷屬。」

    雲水僧再問:「無情不是有情。山河大地,樹木花草,都是無情。師姑是人,是有情。樹木花草,山河大地,何曾是師姑的樣子?」

    老婆婆反問雲水僧:「那麼,你看我是什麼樣子?」

    雲水僧說:「俗人!」意思是說老婆婆是世俗的人、在家人。

    老婆婆聽了以後,就對雲水僧說:「你也不是出家人!」

    雲水僧一聽對方說自己不是出家人,就表示:「師姑可不能混淆佛法!」

    老婆婆說:「我並沒有混淆佛法!」

    雲水僧又說:「你以一個世俗的人來主持庵堂,把樹木花草看成道友,這樣不是在混淆佛法,那是什麼呢?」

    老婆婆說:「法師,你不可以這麼說。你是男人,我是女人,何曾混淆?」



    禪不分在家、出家;不分男人、女人。悟道的深淺,是很容易看出來的。(圖/李蕭錕)

    宇宙萬有,本來是一體的;心佛眾生,是無差別的。可是,我們硬是要將此一體分割,如此世上是非善惡,有情無情,甚至男女異類,世間諸法,就對待不已了。

    對待就是煩惱,但若以禪心來看,皆是一真法界。如老婆婆所說:「何曾混淆?」在禪心裡,何曾混淆?
