学佛修行增长智慧 -- 【编辑室】

我们学佛，目的何在？这是一个让人深思的问题。到寺院听闻师父开示，明白学佛的目的是要长“智慧”，如何才能长智慧，最关键的是要入佛智慧 。

何谓佛之智慧，就是“同体大悲，无缘大慈”，若真能发此心，即是入佛智慧。

这可不是一句口头禅，若能把“同体大悲，无缘大慈”体现在平常生活，才能算是真学佛修行人。具体地说：在现实生活中时时刻刻尽己一切所能，尽一切方便去为一切众生所需，能时刻真心，不着我相，即是入佛智慧。入佛智慧后，再看大乘了义佛经才能真明白。

学佛修行，就是要以真善心做事，无论做什么事，最终都会有圆满的结果。一生保持智慧真心做事，就是保持正念。表面上来看，这是一件非常容易做的事，然而，若真的要做到就不太容易了，要不人人都能成佛菩萨了。

其实，若要我们对任何人，包括你最不喜欢的，只要是还保存着一丝贪心、嗔心、怨心、不平等心，就没有智慧了，就会造业，所以要增长智慧，就应放弃一切我执恶念。

因此，要发真善心并不是一件容易的事。因为我们在累世所积攒的无数恶念种子，随时都能左右我们，时时显露，极难清净，稍一动心，马上就会进入“我执”的思维模式，从而失去了理智，这就是所谓的“业债”。

另外还有身体感官六欲，时时泛起，考验着这个真心，一有所住，即入我执意识，就会遮覆智慧。学佛修行若能不断进步，真善心就会越来越多，我执杂念也随之越来越少，障碍少了，真智慧之心也就逐渐显露出来。

我们念经、念佛，做功课，一切修行就是要除尽一切“我”执之心，一旦放下“我”执心，自然而然就会入佛智慧，自然就会真心去帮助、度化一切众生。

The Legacy Of

Master Yin Shun

The period from the time of the Buddha’s Mahaparinirvana till now has seen the emergence of different traditions and schools of Buddhism. Even within Mahayana and in particular Chinese Buddhism, it is marked by the proliferation of weighty scriptures and adorned with embellishments of sorts.

The 20th Century witnessed Chinese Buddhism somewhat trapped with the problem where practices in China were, strictly speaking, not in accord with the Buddha’s Teaching. A less than in accord practice does not bring about Right Understanding and a failure to realize this is injurious to spiritual development and attainment as envisioned by the Buddha.

In commemoration of the sixth anniversary of the passing of the late Master Yin-shun, we thought it especially meaningful to pay tribute to the late Master by highlighting his profound and wondrous contribution to Chinese Buddhism. The late Master is widely regarded as the foremost thinker and scholar monk of the modern era. His works are used and revered in almost all institutes of Buddhist learning.

He has connected faith with modernity as a response to the many challenges posed by secular, cultural and ethnic influences. Single-handedly he introduced the ‘critical-historical’ method into Chinese Buddhist scholastic works such that his reflective work has gone beyond sectarian doctrines. He is probably best remembered for his advocacy that Buddhism is a living religion suited for and in the human world and where the practice of faith, wisdom and compassion paves the way for supreme enlightenment.
