Basic knowledge of Buddhism: What are the three dharma seals?

佛法基础知识：什么是三法印？

amitabha. "Three dharma seals" are the magic weapon to verify the authenticity of Buddhism.

-----Zhuge Changqing

Nanwu Master Sakyamuni Buddha.

Namo Amitabha.

Nanwudi Tibetan King Bodhisattva.

Nanwukong hides Bodhisattva.

Blessed life is limitless.

To learn Buddhism in the world of mortals, sometimes it is necessary to verify the truth of Buddhism.

So how to verify the authenticity of Buddhism?

Sakyamuni Buddha left "three seals" for mankind.

Zhuge Changqing believes that the three seals left by the Buddha are actually the three magic weapons to verify the Buddha

What is Sanfa Seal?

The "three dharma seals" are: impermanence of all actions, selflessness of all dharma, and silence of nirvana.

Those who conform to these three principles are the Dharma of Buddha, which is like the seal of the world. It is used as proof, so it is called Fa Yin.

"Three Dharma Seals" is the standard to identify the true and false Dharma: if all Dharma is contrary to the three Dharma Seals, it will not be justified; If it is consistent with the three dharma seals, even if it is not said by the Buddha himself, it can also be said by the Buddha. Because the three dharma seals are the standard of "seal" to prove the authenticity of Buddhist dharma, just like the official documents in the world, the official documents can be confirmed by the seal supervisor, so they are called "three dharma seals".

The "three dharma seals" are derived from the "Great Wisdom Theory": those who are "accessible and unimpeded" will get the Buddha dharma seal, so they will be accessible and unimpeded; If you get the king's seal, you will have no difficulty. He asked: What is a Buddhist seal? The answer is: There are three kinds of Buddha Dharma: one is that everything has its way, and the thought of life and death is impermanent; Both, all laws have no self; Third, nirvana.

How to better understand the "three seals"?

Zhuge Changqing suggested that those who are destined can recite the Diamond Sutra. The Vajra Sutra contains the connotation of these three sentences.

The "three dharma seals" are the "impermanence seals of the various elements, the non-self seal of the various dharma, and the nirvana silence seal". It can be traced back to Volume 10 of the Zaha Hanjing: "All actions are impermanent. All laws have no self. Nirvana is extinguished.". Zhuge Changqing believes that the three dharma seals themselves are the nature of the Tathagata.

"All actions are impermanent" - that is to say, all laws in the world are living and dying all the time. Some of them have changed in the past, and some of them will be disillusioned in the future;

"All laws have no self" - that is to say, there is no entity of self in all laws of action and inaction; Tathagata, Tathagata.

"Nirvana silence" - means the state of Nirvana, which eliminates all the pain of life and death, and does nothing for peace and happiness, so Nirvana is silent. (Reference material of this article: basic data of Buddhism)

阿弥陀佛。“三法印”是验证佛法真伪的法宝。

----- 诸葛长青

  南无本师释迦牟尼佛。

  南无阿弥陀佛。

  南无地藏王菩萨。

  南无虚空藏菩萨。

  福生无量天尊。

  红尘学佛，有时候要验证佛法的真伪。

  那么如何验证佛法真伪呢？

  释迦牟尼佛给人类留下“三大法印”。

  诸葛长青认为，佛祖留下的这三大法印，实际上是验证佛法的三大法宝

   什么是三法印？

  “三法印”即：诸行无常、诸法无我、涅槃寂静。

   凡符合此三原则的，便是佛正法，有如世间印信，用为证明，故名法印。

   “三法印”是识别真佛法与假佛法的标准：一切法若与三法印相违的，也是不了义；若与三法印相契合的，纵然不是佛陀亲口所说，也可视同佛说。因为三法印是「印」证佛法真伪的标准，如同世间的公文，凭借印监可以确认公文的真假，因此称为「三法印」。

  “三法印”出于《大智度论》：“通达无碍”者，得佛法印故，通达无碍；如得王印，则无所留难。问曰：何等是佛法印？答曰：佛法印有三种：一者、一切有为法，念念生灭皆无常；二者、一切法无我；三者、寂灭涅槃。

   如何更好深入了解“三法印”？

    诸葛长青建议有缘者可以念诵《金刚经》。《金刚经》中包含这三句话的内涵。

   “三法印”即“诸行无常印、诸法无我印、涅槃寂静印”。可溯源于《杂阿含经》卷十：“一切行无常。一切法无我。涅槃寂灭。”。诸葛长青认为，三法印，本身是体现的如来本性。

  “诸行无常”-----是说一切世间法无时不在生住异灭中，过去有的，现在起了变异，现在有的，将来终归幻灭；

  “诸法无我”----是说在一切有为无为的诸法中，无有我的实体；如来、如来。

   “涅槃寂静”---是说涅槃的境界，灭除一切生死的痛苦，无为安乐，故涅槃是寂静的。（本文参考资料：佛法基础资料）

   阿弥陀佛。行善积德、持续学佛，必有福报。
