「觀音普渡」印之緣起  王浩   簡繁轉換 - 繁體

敬行師兄欲供養林上師一枚度母題材的法印,擬為「度母悲淚」。

林上師開示,「悲淚」乃度母之淵源,但僅此意涵,過於被動,因此宜刻「觀音普渡」。 「觀音普渡」有兩個含義:其一,觀音菩薩給予眾生普遍的救渡;另一含義是,當一個人領會了聲音的本性為空性時,那麼經由此等了悟全體將獲得解脫。

對於此印的構圖,林上師開示說,因為「念度母恩」是刻成陽文的,這枚新印可以刻成陰文。並且陰文亦符合「觀音本空」的意涵。師還指出,在方形印石上雕刻成圓形印將很妙。圓形表示法界,而方印便於使用。而且這個圓周應當被刻成斷斷續續的來表示法界是無限的。

為此,我挑選到一枚雙龍戲珠鈕、壽山善伯凍石方形印章來制印。法印完成後,敬行師兄特請林上師賜偈,詩意雋永,感恩之至!確如詩中所說,「普」字上半如二人攜手之姿,由衷讚歎林師佛眼妙觀。若問這是有意而為還是無心所成,只好答以「山色有無中」了。

謹遵師諭為之記。

觀音普渡印

觀音普渡印


下面是弟子保存的上師的電郵開示。謹此將英文開示也供眾。

Yutang Lin寫道:

悲淚 is the source of Taras, but by itself sounds too passive.
觀音普渡 will have two meanings: one is Bodhisattva Guan Yin giving universal salvation to all beings; and the other is that when one comprehends the nature of sounds as being of Blank Essence, then all will attain liberation through such comprehension.

Since Nian Du Mu En was carved in Yang Wen 陽文, this new seal may be carved in Yin Wen 陰文. And Yin Wen also corresponds to the meaning of 觀音本空。

I think it would be nice to carve a round circumference on a square seal. Round circumference to signify the Dharmadhatu, and square seal will be easier to use. Also the circumference should be broken here and there to signify that it is boundless.


May all beings attain Enlightenment soon!
