| 一念净信 林钰堂 一念净信生于心，陈上师乃真文殊； 跋 去年十月在北京时，在天厨妙香的停车场施勇告诉我，当年他读陈上师的作品，而忽生一念：“陈上师真是文殊化身”。他随即感受强力的光明加持。因而使他了解佛法真实不虚，而致力于修习佛法的追求；他的一生也从此改变了。今天在与佛友谈及何以我对佛法深信，可以奉献一生时，想起此事，因此志之，以助大众对佛法及陈上师之传承生信。 我将上文传去北京给施勇看是否无误。他特地详细记录感应之前后诸情，以档案寄来。谨此附录于下： 九四年前后，本人当时略有六七年显宗基础，虽对密宗成就祖师深具信心但对密法始终不得窥其门径，由于不明密法实修体系故而难免理论上在信佛魔性中颠倒揣测，思想上颇多疑惑。一日忽得友人借阅 陈上师《曲肱斋全集》当时只知是前辈修行人的心得体会，且伴有些许争议。经过一段时间细细读来，渐被上师古雅简洁的文风，紧凑严密的逻辑所感染，尤其是《反省录》中的词句，那隐藏在字里行间的是一种充塞于天地之间都包容不下的毒辣道情，令我在同一时刻感到羞愧汗颜懊悔毛竖赞叹随喜钦佩崇拜乃至泪如雨下…不由得心中造起了祈请上师摄受加持的赞词，当诵到“顶礼无异文殊大悲化现身”时顿然昏厥，气离出入不觉有身，涌大光明了无所得…历时数十分钟，醒来如同还阳之人起死回生，方觉道次第中人身难得所言不虚，始知真正上师甚深果位加持觉受不可思议。以上本人亲身经历，字字属实，记录为证。 后学弟子 施勇 二○○七年四月一日 ----- Original Message ----- I wrote a short essay yesterday on an inspiration story I heard Single-minded Pure Faith Yutang Lin One thought of single-minded pure faith arose in his mind, that Comment: Last October while I was in Bei Jing, China, one day in the parking lot of a restaurant "Tian Chu Miao Xiang" (Wondrous Fragrance of Heavenly Kitchen) disciple Shi Yong told me that, years ago when he was reading Guru Chen's works, he suddenly had a thought, "Guru Chen was indeed an incarnation of Bodhisattva Manjusri." Immediately he sensed a very powerful blessing of bright light that took over him. Thus he realized that Dharma is of real substance, and henceforth he endeavored to pursuit Dharma teachings and practices. His whole life was henceforth transformed. Today while I was telling some Buddhists why I had such deep faith in the Dharma that I could dedicate my life to Dharma practices and services, this incident came to my mind, so I wrote it down to help people develop faith in the Dharma and in the lineage of Guru Chen. I sent the above paragraph to Bei Jing for Shi Yong to verify my recollection. He sent back a detailed account of things leading to that inspiration experience in a file. So it is attached below: Around 1994 I had learned Sutrayana teachings for 6 or 7 years, and even though I had deep faith in accomplished patriarchs of Vajrayana, nevertheless I could not figure out an approach to Vajrayana. Since I did not know the stages of the path in Vajrayana, I could not help guessing in theory what would be right or wrong, Buddha or Devil, and I was rather puzzled in my thoughts. One day some friend lent me the Complete Works of Guru Chen. At the time I knew only that it contained words of experiences of an earlier Dharma practitioner, and the contents arose some controversy. After I had carefully read it for some time, I was gradually moved and affected by the Guru's refined yet simple style and cogent reasoning. Especially statements in his Collection of Reflections are full of sharp feelings of Dharma that fulfill and transcend the space between heaven and earth, and made me simultaneously felt ashamed, regret, hairs-on-end, exclaim in praise, rejoice, respect, worship, and tears falling like rain, etc. Thus I could not help but to begin composing a praise in my mind to supplicate to the Guru for accepting and blessing me; and as I said, "Prostration to the incarnation of great compassion that is no different from Manjusri" suddenly I fainted, my breathing stopped and I did not feel that I had a body, a great brightness appeared and nothing else remained. It lasted for tens of minutes. As I woke up I felt like resurrected from death. Only then did I sense that the teaching in Stages of the Path that human birth is not easy to obtain was indeed meaningful. Only then did I know that real Guru of profound attainment could render blessings beyond comprehension. The above was a faithful account of my personal experience, without any false words, and I recorded it here as a testimony.
