观空之应用 林钰堂 上座观空舍一切，日常应用顿出离； 跋 仪轨中两度观空。第一次空去对世间一切之执着，第二次则将由空性中观起之一切亦再放舍，以达本来纯粹、毫无造作的明净，而后由之起用渡生。 观空之体验应用于生活中，即是了达在任何一刻皆可将心中所有悬念、牵挂，以及身体一切觉受皆完全置之度外，而自然安住于清明无事中，并且由此纯净之安定心态自然应对于日常生活中。 一般而言，吾人习于集中注意在心中所执之小范围内，以及个人之觉受及好恶，并执以为实，因此无以出苦。经过观空的修习，可能渐渐体会一切本来如幻，只因习于执实而成无以摆脱之桎梏。基于观空的体验，吾人可能在生活中顿时出离窠臼，而得以休息及略尝安详之法喜。 二○○五年七月卅一日 Application of Sunyata Visualization Yutang Lin During Sadhana practices visualize Sunyata to renounce everything. Comment: During Sadhana practices one visualizes Sunyata twice. The first time is to renounce one's grasping to everything in the world. The second time is to further renounce even grasping to any realization born of Sunyata attainment. Thus one would arrive at the originally pure and free from any artificial endeavor state of clarity and brightness, and then from within such a state of mind freely apply oneself to salvation activities. Applying experiences gained through Sunyata visualizations in daily life one would realize that at any instant one could set all concerns and tangles of mind and all sensations of body aside, and thereby abide naturally in a state of clarity that is free from worries, furthermore, one could then respond naturally to daily-life situations from within such a state of purity and tranquility. Generally speaking, we are accustomed to concentrating our attentions to a small circle of matters of personal grasping and personal feelings and preferences, and furthermore, we grasp to these as being substantial, and consequently there is no escape from the ensuing sufferings. Through practices in Sunyata visualization one could gradually realize that all things are originally evanescent, and that it was only due to our customary practice of grasping them as being substantial that they became inescapable bondages. Based on experiences gained through Sunyata visualizations we could instantly escape the nest of old habits in daily life, and thereby get some rest and have a taste of the tranquil joy of Dharma.
