Meditating and reciting on Vajrasattva to cleanse all obscuration

尊貴的 敏林堪千仁波切 : 修誦金剛薩埵以淨化所有的業障 (1)

障難甚深道上所有殊勝覺受、以及證悟生起的主要阻礙，即是吾人之惡行、業障和習氣。

倘若以鏡照物，重要的是必須見及清淨的鏡面；如是相同重要的，亦即去除吾人業障。如此，證悟即可一如鏡面映射般的顯現。

沒有不能經由懺悔而加以淨化的有害惡行，如同往昔大師們所申明的：惡行唯一的功德是─其可經由懺悔加以淨化。

所有的惡行中，也許是外在破損了別解脫戒，內在違背菩提心戒，或是密層違犯了密續三昧耶─儘管是極為嚴重的，但卻沒有一樣是無法經由懺悔而加以淨化的。

於經典中，佛陀述說了幾個例證以闡明此點。例如關於婆羅門阿塔巴的故事，也就是眾人熟知的央掘摩羅（其名意為「指鬘」）。央掘摩羅曾殺了九百九十九人，但之後卻經由懺悔而清淨了己身的諸多惡行，並在一生中獲得阿羅漢果位。另外也有阿闍世王殺了自己父親的事例，但其後亦經由懺悔而彌補己之罪業，只經歷了一顆球反彈的時間那般的地獄之苦，得到解脫。怙主龍樹菩薩說：

「如有人初始漫不經心，但稍後謹慎且警覺，則一如自雲層中湧現出的明月那般美麗，就像是難陀、央掘摩羅、達卡以及桑卡拉」

然而，淨化唯有以正確的方式真誠懺悔，運用「四力」對治，方能成辦。如果你的眼睛、嘴巴被其他的事物佔據，或者只是口中唸著經文：「我承認……我懺悔……嗡、…」，但內心卻忙於追逐其他念頭，或者想著：「以後，就算我又違犯了戒律也沒關係，因為可以違犯之後，再進行懺悔」。如此即使再行懺罪，淨化的過程完全無法發生任何作用。藏地大成就者至尊密勒說：

「你也許懷疑懺悔能夠淨化惡行，

但當你的想法轉化為正面時，你已獲得淨化！」

修誦金剛薩埵以淨化所有的業障 (2) 懺悔四力

懺悔的四種力量(一)依止力

懺悔的四種力量涵括了依止力、懺悔力(破惡力)、遮止力(防護力)和對治力。

此處所云之依止力，指的是皈依金剛薩埵，以及發起願菩提心和行菩提心。( 即世俗菩提心)

此外，依止力也可能是某個特定所欲懺悔的對境。舉例來說 :當誦持《三聚經》的懺悔文時，三十五佛所提供的皈依(依止)。依止者，或是己之上師，或是諸佛聖尊的身、語、意。簡而言之，即是吾人所依止並懺悔的對境。

於懺悔前，生起願菩提心和行菩薩行更是不可或缺的。

佛陀告訴我們，懺悔惡業時，倘若未能發起菩提心，那麼即便行使了懺悔四力，仍無法淨化所有的業行。然而若能虔摯發起菩提心，則過去一切惡性自當淨除。

寂天菩薩曾於《入菩薩行》( 第一品)菩提心利益中云：

「如人雖犯罪依士得除畏

若有令脫者畏者何不依

覺心如劫火剎那毀諸罪 ! 」

(二) 懺悔力(破惡力)

懺悔力來自於對往昔一切負面業行的追悔。倘若未能認清宿昔所造作之惡業，並發自肺腑的懺悔，那麼惡業未必能因此懺除。

當我們持誦《三蘊經》之際，經云：彼等尊前發露懺悔，不覆、不藏 (弟子毫無隱瞞，發露懺悔一切惡業)

西藏大成就者亦云：沒有發自肺腑懺悔，無法淨除業障！惡業有如劇毒，故而須以慚心、愧心懺悔 !

(三)遮止力 (防護力)

遮止力意謂著勞記所犯過患，並於懺惡之際誓不復犯，就算因而捨棄生命亦在所不惜。

故《三蘊經》云：未於當下誓願直至未來，則無法淨除惡業，是以，從今爾後，就算捨棄性命亦不復造作惡業。( 自今而後，戒除不犯 )

四、對治力

對治力意指願能盡己所能的圓滿諸多善行以對治往昔的不善業行。於此所指之善行，尤指大禮拜、隨喜功德、功德迴向、培養菩提心、行菩薩道，並且安住於無染純淨之法中。

事實上，懺除宿昔惡業最深入的方法，不外以發菩提心為禪定所緣，同時保持純淨無染之流。當你以金剛薩埵為禪修所緣時，務請牢牢記住這兩點──以甘露之流淨化，以及持誦百字明咒等等。

於進入禪修和持咒時，勿忘切以懺悔四力為依歸，並時刻謹記每個種子字的純淨意涵。

meditating and reciting on Vajrasattva to cleanse all obscuration

The main obstacles that prevent all the extraordinary experiences and realizations of the profound path from arising are Negative actions, Obsurations and Habitual tendencies. Just as it is important to clean the surface of a mirror if forms are to be reflected in it, so too it is important to eliminate our obscurations so that realization can appear like a reflection in the mirror.

There is no harmful act that cannot be purified by confession. As the great teachers of ancient times affirmed:

There is nothing good about neagtive actions- except that they can be purified through confession.

Of all negative actions-be they external breaches of all pratimoksha vows, inner transgressions of the bodhicitta training, or secret violations of the trantric samayas- there is not one, however serious, that cannot be purified by confession.

In the Sutras, The Buddha tells several stories illustrating this point. For instance, there is the tale of the Brahmin Atapa, who was known as Angulimala, (translation of the name- Garland of Fingers). Angulimala killed nine hundred and ninety nine people, but then cleansed himself of those actions through confession and attained the state of Arhat in that very lifetime. THere is also the case of King Ajatsatru, who killed his father, but later repaird his crime through confession and attained liberation, having experienced the suffering of hell only for the time it takes a ball to bounce once. The protector Nagarjuna says:

Someone who has acted carelessly

But later becomes careful and attentive

Is as beautiful as the bright moon emerging from the clouds

Like Nanda, Angulimala Darska and Sankara.

However, purification only takes place when you confess sincerely in the right way, using the four powers as antidotes. The purification process will never work if your eyes and mouth are otherwise occupied, or if you are just mouthing the words, "I admit.......I confess.....or say mantras" while your mind is buy pursuing other thoughts. And to thnk, " IN future, even if i do wrong it wont matter because i can just confess afterwards," will stop the purification from working at all, even if you do confess.

Jetsun Mila( A mahasiddha in Tibet) says:

You may doubt that confession can rally purify negative actions,

But if your thoughts become positive, you are purified !

─ Minling Khenchen

meditating and reciting on Vajrasattva to cleanse all obscuration(2)

The Four powers for confession

The four powers are the power of support, the power of regretting having done wrong, the power of resolution and the power of action as an antidote.

1. The power of support: In this context, the support is provided by takin refuge in Vajrasattva and cultivating the intention and application aspects of bodhicitta. In other cases, the support would be the particular object to which you address your confession. When you recite the confession of the Sutra in threet Heaps, for example, the power of support is provided by the Thity-five Buddhas. It could also be a teacher, or a representation of the body, speech or mind of the Buddhas-in short, anyone or anything in whose presence you confess .

Before any confession arousing the bodhcitta of intention and application is indispensable. The Buddha taught that confessing your evil deeds and downfalls without arousing bodhicitta, even though you might apply the four powers, will reduce your faults but not purify them altogether. Sincerely giving rise to bodhicita however, will of itself purify all past misdeeds, whatever they be. In THe Way of the Bodhisattva, Santideva says of bodhicitta:

As though they pass through perils guarded by a hero,

Even those weighed down with dreadful wickedness

Will instantly be eed through having bodhicitta

Who then would not place his trust in it?

Just as by fires at the end of time

Great sins are utterly consumed by bodhicitta.

2nd. The power of of regretting having done wrong.

The power of regretting having done wrong comes from a feeling of remorse for all the negative actions you have done in the past. There can be no purification if you do not see your misdeeds as something wrong and confess them with fierce regret, without concealing anything.

As we recite in the Sutra of three parts:

I confess them all, without hiding or holding back anything.

Great accomplished Master in Tibet said:

Confessing them without regret cannot purify them.

For past misdeeds are like a posion within

So confess them with shame, trepidation and great remorse.

3th. The power of resolution.

The power of resolution means to remember that faults you have commited and to resolve never to commit them again from this very day on, even at the cost of your dear life., In the Sutra of three parts:

Without a vow for the future from now on, there is no purification,

So I make the vow for the future from now on

That even at the cost of my life I will do no negative action.

4th Power of action as an antidote.

This power involves accomplishing as many positive actions as you can, as an antidote to your past negative actions. It refers particularly to activities such as prostrating to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, rejoicing in the merit of others, dedicating your sources of future good to enlightement, cultivating the bodhicitta of intention and application and staying in the essence of the unaltered natural state.

There is indeed no deeper way to cleanse oneself of past misdeeds than to meditate on bodhicitta and to maintain the flow of the unaltered natural state. Keep these two things in mind as you go through the details of the meditation on Vajrasattva-purification by the stream of nectar, recitation of the hundred syllable manta, and so on.

To practise the actual meditation and recitation, proceed as follow, remembering all the time the specific pure meaning of each element in the context of the four powers as antidotes.
