淨空老法師主講(第六集)二〇一八年八月十六日 · 英國威爾士三一聖大衛大學蘭彼得校區

佛法求的是什麼?求的是真心。用真心應付一切事,便是真實智慧——不必刻意去想怎麼應付,自然現前,沒有障礙。好老師把方法點給你,很容易受用;一用上立刻管用。

什麼原因?清淨心現前。從前妄想、分別、執著、計較得失擾亂了心;通通放下,心就平等清淨。清淨時間多、雜念時間少,功夫便向上。無論學什麼都快,因為有智慧,一聽一看就明瞭。不能胡思亂想——一想歪了,路就走岔了。

真實智慧是自性本有,不是外來的。雜念妄想多,智慧不能現前;沒有雜念妄想,心地清淨,什麼問題都能解答。古語「學問深時意氣平」——要發慈悲心,無條件歡喜幫助一切苦難眾生,走正路,不走邪路。佛在哪裡?佛在你心裡;你的心就是佛。

What does the Buddhadharma seek? The true mind. Meeting all affairs with the true mind is real wisdom—responses arise naturally without calculation. A good teacher points out the method; once applied, it works at once.

Why? A pure mind appears when wandering thoughts, discrimination, attachment, and gain-and-loss are released. Longer purity, fewer scattered thoughts—kung fu rises. Learning becomes swift because inherent wisdom recognizes truth immediately. Overthinking twists the path.

Real wisdom is innate. Without cluttered thought it answers any question. “When learning deepens, the spirit grows calm.” Give rise to compassion—help suffering beings unconditionally, on the proper path. Where is Buddha? In your mind; your mind is Buddha.
