Today, the 13th of July in the lunar calendar: Dashi to Bodhisattva Christmas Day

今天农历七月十三:大势至菩萨圣诞日

amitabha. Thanks to the general trend of Bodhisattva to promote Buddhism and protect the world.

-----Zhuge Changqing

Today, August 8, 2014, the 13th of July in the lunar calendar, is the Christmas of the Bodhisattva.

Mahashita Bodhisattva, transliteration of Mahasata Bodhisattva, paraphrased as "Mahashita", "Dashita" or "Dajin", is briefly called Shizhi Bodhisattva and Shizhi Bodhisattva.

Bodhisattva is the first ancestor of Jingzong Sect.

The old Buddhist monk of Xia Lianju first proposed in the book "Jingzong Jieyao" that Dashi Zhibodhisattva was the first ancestor of Jingzong, and advocated that only Dashi Zhibodhisattva could recite Buddha Dharma in the void law world.

The general trend is that the Bodhisattva never changed from the beginning of his mind until he became a Buddha. After becoming a Buddha, he still recited Amitabha, which is also used to spread all sentient beings across the world. He is called the first ancestor of Pure Buddhism.

The Bodhisattva said, "If there are two people, one is for memory and the other is for forgetting. If there are two people, if they don't meet, they may not meet.". Two people remember each other, and two people remember each other deeply. So, even from birth to life, they are the same as shape and shadow, not different. The ten Buddhas cherish the sentient beings, like the mother remembering her son. If my son escapes, why do I remember? If the son recalls his mother, if the mother recalls her time, the mother and son are born, not far away from each other. If all sentient beings remember the Buddha and recite the Buddha, they must come to see the Buddha. It is not far away from the Buddha. It is convenient to go to the Buddha. They are happy with themselves. They are like people who dye incense and have fragrance. This is called Xiangguang solemn. Because of the place, I want to remember the Buddha's heart. Now in this world, people who take and recite Buddha belong to the Pure Land.

According to the "View of Infinite Life Sutra", the Bodhisattva of the Great Power shines the unique light of wisdom all over the world, enabling all living beings to escape from the scourge of blood, light and sword, and gain supreme power.

Therefore, the Bodhisattva of the Great Power is considered to be the first in light and wisdom. The earth and the earth shake wherever he goes to protect all living beings from evil spirits.

1、 The origin and introduction of the name of Bodhisattva.

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. The Bodhisattva is in great power to protect the Buddha Dharma. Together with Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, he is the threat of Amitabha in the Western Paradise, and is known as the Three Saints of the West. The two Bodhisattvas have different expressions. Guanyin Bodhisattva represents "mercy", and the most powerful Bodhisattva represents "happy giving".

Bodhisattva is the first ancestor of Jingzong Sect.

The great power of Bodhisattva is to illuminate all things with the light of wisdom, so that all living beings can leave the three ways and gain supreme power; When the Bodhisattva acts, all the earth in the ten directions of the world is shaken by it, so it is called the Great Power.

The Bodhisattva and Avalokitesvara are both the threat of the Amitabha Buddha in the Western Paradise, and they are called the Western Three Saints.

The fifth volume of the Shurangama Sutra at the top of the Buddha's head, "The Great Power to Bodhisattva's Sutra of Buddha Roundness", records that when the Great Power to Bodhisattva was in the place, the mind of Buddha's chanting had no life tolerance. Therefore, all living beings in this Saha world are now taken to return to the Pure Land.

According to the third volume of the Sad Hua Sutra, when the Amitabha enters into extinction, the Avalokitesvara will fill its place (becoming Buddha); After the Avalokitesvara went into extinction, he became a Buddha from the general situation to the place of mending, mastered the power of transformation, and was called the King of Treasure Mountain Tathagata.

As for the image of the Bodhisattva, according to the "Guanwuliang Life Sutra", there are five hundred treasure flowers in the bodhisattva's crown, one treasure flower and five hundred treasure tables. Each treasure table shows the pure and wonderful state of the ten Buddhas. The top of the bun is like a bowl head rubbing flowers, and a treasure bottle is placed in the bun, and the rest of the body looks much the same as Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Also according to the "Avatar of Avatar", the two bodhisattvas showed pure gold and white flame, with white brush in the right hand and lotus in the left hand. The figure of the bodhisattva was slightly smaller than that of Avalokitesvara.

In the Tibetan Mandala, the Bodhisattva of the Great Power ranks second in the top of the Guanyin Hall. His body is fleshy. He holds the open and closed lotus in his left hand, bends the middle three fingers in his right hand, and sits on the red lotus in front of his chest.

The Bodhisattva can give you the light of wisdom, make you smooth in life, succeed in your career, the light of the Buddha will always shine, turn evil into evil, and achieve good luck, so that you can follow the path of the Buddha, exert all your wisdom, and reach the ideal state.

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. When you recite the great power to Bodhisattva, you can get the bright light of the great power to Bodhisattva's wisdom, protect your life, enlighten your wisdom, and be lucky everywhere.

The general trend is coming. The Sanskrit language is called "Mahana bowl". Now in the blissful world, it is the second ranking Bodhisattva to fill the Buddha's position. An important Bodhisattva in the Pure Land faith. It is also translated as Mahana Pot, Dashi, Dashi Zhi, Dajin, or Shizhi for short. He is one of the three Amitabha Buddhas, and is the same as Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. These three Amitabha Buddhists are commonly known as the "Three Saints of the West" in China's Buddhist circles. Compared with the representative of mercy of Guanyin, Bodhisattva represents wisdom. According to the Sutra of Infinite Life, "The light of wisdom shines on everything, leaving three smears and gaining supreme power, which is why the name of this Bodhisattva is so powerful."

Both this Bodhisattva and the Avalokitesvara take care of all living beings, and are widely respected as the Bodhisattva who is dying to welcome the blissful world. For example, the Shurangama Sutra at the top of the Great Buddha says, "I used to recite Buddha with my heart, but now I am here to take Buddhist chanters to the Pure Land."

The general trend has a deep relationship with the two saints of Amitabha and Avalokitesvara. Before he became a Buddha, he had worked with Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva as the waiter of the Buddha. In the future, he will also become a Buddha after Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, known as the King Buddha of Good Living Merit and Virtue.

According to the "View of Infinite Life Sutra", the Bodhisattva of the Great Power shines the unique light of wisdom all over the world, enabling all living beings to escape from the scourge of blood, light and sword, and gain supreme power. Therefore, the Bodhisattva of the Great Power is considered to be the first in light and wisdom. The earth and the earth shake wherever he goes to protect all living beings from evil spirits.

2、 Bodhisattva is one of the three saints in the West. Infinite wisdom, powerful magic, and protect all living beings.

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. There are three saints in the Blissful World. The three saints in the West refer to Bodhisattva, Amitabha and Avalokitesvara. Bodhisattva is one of the three saints. You often see two Bodhisattvas around Amitabha. The one on the left is the Bodhisattva Dashizhizhi, and the one on the right is Avalokitesvara.

Great power to Bodhisattva, Sanskrit name Mah ā sth ā mapr ā Pta, the Tibetan name of Mthu-chen-thob, is the right flank attendant of Amitabha, also known as the Great Progressive Bodhisattva, which is abbreviated as Shizhi. Together with Amitabha and Avalokitesvara (the left flank attendant of Amitabha), it is called the "Three Saints of the West".

The Sutra of Compassion says that in the past there was a wheel saint, the first prince was Guanyin Bodhisattva, the second prince was Dashizhibodhisattva, the third prince was Manjusri Bodhisattva, and the fourth prince was Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. Later, the reincarnation king practiced and became a Buddha, that is, Amitabha in the Western Paradise, and Avalokitesvara and Dashi became the left and right servants of his father.

The Bodhisattva, known in Sanskrit as "Mahana", is now the second highest ranking Bodhisattva in the Blissful World. According to the "View of the Infinite Life Sutra", he "illuminated everything with the light of wisdom, and made the" three evil tendencies "(referring to hell, hungry ghosts, and animals) extremely powerful", so he was called the Great Buddha. There is a light of wisdom in the treasure bottle on his head, so that the light of wisdom can shine on all living beings in the world, so that all living beings can get rid of the scourge of blood, light and sword, and have supreme power.

According to the records of "The View of Infinite Life Sutra", the Bodhisattva of the Great Power shines all over the world with a unique light of wisdom, enabling all living beings to escape from the scourge of blood, light and sword, gain supreme power, and be powerful and at ease. Therefore, the Bodhisattva of the Great Power is considered to be the first of light and wisdom, and the earth and the earth shake everywhere, protect all living beings from evil spirits.

3、 The general trend is to Bodhisattva Christmas Day.

Dashi to Bodhisattva Christmas is on the 13th of July in the lunar calendar.

4、 Bodhisattva is the first ancestor of Pure Land Sect.

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. The Bodhisattva chanted Amitabha sincerely, and continued to chant after becoming a Bodhisattva, which is admirable. Therefore, it is the first ancestor of the Pure Land Sect.

The great trend of Bodhisattva is to illuminate all things with the light of wisdom, so that all living beings can leave the three ways and gain supreme power; When you go there, all the earth in the ten directions of the world shakes, so it is called the great trend.

Together with Avalokitesvara, the Avalokitesvara is the threat of Amitabha in the Western Paradise, known as the Three Saints of the West. Avalokitesvara represents compassion, and the Bodhisattva represents happiness and giving.

According to the Infinite Life Sutra, there are five hundred precious flowers in its crown, and five hundred treasure tables in each of them. Each treasure table shows the pure and wonderful state of the ten Buddhas; The bun on the top is like a bowl of flowers, and a treasure bottle is placed in the bun; The rest of the body is very similar to Avalokitesvara.

The great trend is that Bodhisattva recites the Buddha's passage. The general trend is to enlighten people. Twenty-five Bodhisattvas are different from each other in the teaching of chanting Buddhism and cultivating the Pure Land. The general trend is to teach us to specialize in chanting Buddhism and seeking survival in the Pure Land.

He is the first ancestor of Jingzong, and the old monk of Xia Lianju first proposed in the book "Jingzong Jieyao" that Dashi Zhibodhisattva is the first ancestor of Jingzong, and advocated that only Dashi Zhibodhisattva can recite Buddhism in the nirvana dharma world. Amitabha Buddha is recited in the end, from the beginning of mind to the moment of becoming a Buddha. After becoming a Buddha, Amitabha Buddha is still recited. It is also used to spread all sentient beings in the world of ten directions. It is called the first ancestor of the Pure Sect, which is consistent with the name.

To read the Buddha's heart, to enter the life without tolerance. It is generally said that the Bodhisattva of Yuanjiao 789 has only proved that there is no living tolerance.

These two sentences are the method of chanting Buddha.

"Open your mind without taking advantage of convenience". Don't use any method to help. Open your mind is corresponding to the Zen Great Enlightenment, and corresponds to the Three Secrets of the Secret School, namely, becoming a Buddha.

"Self satisfied and open mind" is the principle, "one mind is not disordered, enter the Samadhi" is the proof of the first Shurangama.

The two great Bodhisattvas, Dashizhi and Avalokitesvara, now live in this Saha world. They are reluctant to give up the Buddha chanters, so that they can leave the three ways and get the pure land. Buddha chanting is the method. Only with wisdom can Buddha chant. A wise man in the world is not necessarily wise. Wisdom is the wisdom of the world. It is one of the eight dilemmas. Any one of the eight dilemmas is an obstacle to cultivation. The obstacles go beyond the three realms, and the obstacles to life and death, reincarnation, and Buddhahood. The whole body is round, and it can be used skillfully. And the reason proved by wisdom is reasonable. With the method of chanting Buddha, you can reach the state of roundness.

The Sutra of Shurangama at the Top of the Buddha - The Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sutra of Sut

The situation reached the Prince of France. The 52nd Bodhisattva, who is related to him, starts from his seat. To salute the Buddha's feet and white the Buddha's words.

I recall the Ganges sand disaster in the past. There is a Buddha who comes into being and is known as Infinite Light. The twelve Tathagatas were robbed one after another. Its last Buddhist name is beyond the sun and moonlight. I chant Buddha Samadhi. For example, there are people who only remember and forget. If they don't meet or see each other. Two people remember each other and remember each other deeply. Such as from birth to life. It is different from form and shadow. The ten Buddhas cherish the sentient beings, like the mother remembering her son. If my son escapes, I will remember what he is. The son is like remembering the mother. Mothers and children are not far apart from each other. If all sentient beings remember Buddha and chant Buddha. It is not far from the Buddha to see the Buddha. It's easy to be happy. Like dyeing incense, people have fragrance. This is called Fragrant Light and Solemn. I originally recited the Buddha with my heart. Today, people who take and recite Buddha in this world return to the Pure Land. I have no choice when Buddha asks. Take six net thoughts one after another. Samodis is the first. (Translated by Tang Banci Mi Di).

The Bodhisattva of the Great Power is preaching by taking six roots and chanting the Buddha Dharma. He has experienced ten faiths and ten lives; Ten elements, ten directions, ten places and equal and wonderful senses; Fifty-two stages from chanting Buddha to becoming Tao; According to the Shurangama Sutra, the Bodhisattva of the Great Power met the twelve Tathagatas in the past, one after another; The last Buddha, named Super Sun and Moon Light Buddha; That is, the Buddha opened it by chanting Buddhism. This super sun and moon light Buddha is actually Amitabha. According to the Infinite Life Sutra, Amitabha is also known as Infinite Light Buddha, Infinite Light Buddha, Impervious Light Buddha, Amitabha, Yan Wang Light Buddha, Pure Light Buddha, Joyful Light Buddha, Wisdom Light Buddha, Constant Light Buddha, Difficult Thinking Light Buddha, Infinite Light Buddha, and Super Sun Moonlight Buddha. Buddha is established with light, which is divided into twelve numbers. Amitabha Buddha has twelve lights; All belong to Amitabha, including everything. The method shown by the super sun, moon and light Buddha is simple and straightforward. It is very important. After hearing the Dharma, the Bodhisattva of the Great Power received rigorous education and practiced diligently, that is, he attained Samadhi by chanting Buddha. This is the cause of the general trend to the past and the source of proving the Buddha Samadhi. Only this method is round, simple and easy to repair. It is superior to all methods.

Therefore, at the Shurangama Dharma meeting, when Sakyamuni asked the congregation for understanding, the Bodhisattva Dasiji introduced the samadhi method of chanting Buddha.

The Bodhisattva said: "... For example, one is dedicated to memory, one is dedicated to memory, and the other is dedicated to memory. If two people meet, or if they don't see each other, or if they don't see each other. The two people remember each other, and the two memories are deep. If they are, and even from life to life, they are the same as the shape and shadow, and are not different. The ten Buddhas have compassion on all living beings, such as the mother remembering the child. If the child escapes, what is the memory? If the child remembers the mother, if the mother remembers, the mother and the child are living, not far away Convenient, self-confident and open, like a person who has fragrance, this is called Xiangguang solemn. Because of the place, I want to remember the Buddha's heart. Now in this world, people who take and recite Buddha belong to the Pure Land. I have no choice. Take all six, and the net thoughts will come one after another, and the samadhi will come first. " When the Bodhisattva was in the same place, he could not bear to recite the Buddha's heart. Therefore, the Buddha's chanting beings in this Saha world are now taken to return to the Pure Land.

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. Many people chant Buddha. The more they chant Buddha, the more upset they become. How to solve it? Relying on the power of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Zhuge Changqing suddenly realized the "five in one" method of Chinese learning and the ritual of chanting Buddha. As long as the "five in one" of Chinese learning and the "ritual of chanting Buddha" are conscientiously done, they will quickly enter the state of chanting Buddha's pure mind.



阿弥陀佛。感恩大势至菩萨弘扬佛法、护佑人间。

----- 诸葛长青

   今天2014年8月8日,农历七月十三,是大势至菩萨圣诞。

   大势至菩萨,音译摩诃娑太摩钵跢,意译“大势至”“得大势”或“大精进”,略称势志菩萨、势至菩萨。

     大势至菩萨是净宗宗的初祖。

   夏莲居老居士首先在《净宗捷要》一书中提出大势至菩萨为净宗初祖,在虚空法界提倡念佛法门只有大势至菩萨。

   大势至菩萨从初发心一直到成佛不改变,成佛之后还是念阿弥陀佛,在十方世界广度众生也是用这一句阿弥陀佛,称之为净宗初祖。

   大势至菩萨说:如有人,一专为忆,一人专忘,如是二人,若逢不逢,或见非见。二人相忆,二忆念深,如是乃至从生至生,同于形影,不相乖异。十方如来怜念众生,如母忆子。若子逃逝,虽忆何为?子若忆母,如母忆时,母子历生,不相违远。若众生心,忆佛念佛,现前当来,必定见佛,去佛不远,不假方便,自得心开,如染香人,身有香气,此则名香光庄严。我本因地,以念佛心,人佛生忍。今于此世界,摄念佛人,归于净土......。

   大势至菩萨,根据「观无量寿经」记载大势至菩萨以独特的智慧之光遍照世间众生,使众生能解脱血光刀兵之灾,得无上之力。

   因此,大势至菩萨被认为光明智慧第一,所到之处天地震动,保护众生,免受邪魔所害。

   一、大势至菩萨名号来历、简介。

   诸葛长青:阿弥陀佛。大势至菩萨护持佛法,功德无量。与观世音菩萨同为西方极乐世界阿弥陀佛之胁侍,世称西方三圣。两位菩萨表法不同,观音菩萨代表“慈悲”,大势至菩萨代表“喜舍”。

   大势至菩萨是净宗宗的初祖。

   大势至菩萨以智慧光普照一切,令众生离三途,得无上威力;又菩萨行动时,十方世界一切大地为之震动,故称为大势至。

  大势至菩萨、观世音菩萨,同为西方极乐世界阿弥陀佛的胁侍,三者并称西方三圣。

   《大佛顶首楞严经》卷五“大势至菩萨念佛圆通章”记载大势至菩萨在因地时,以念佛心入无生忍,故今摄此娑婆世界念佛众生归入净土。

   又依据《悲华经》卷三记载,当阿弥陀佛入灭后,由观音菩萨补其位(成佛);观音入灭之后,由大势至补处成佛,掌握化权,号曰善住珍宝山王如来。

   关于大势至菩萨的形像,据《观无量寿经》记载,菩萨天冠中有五百宝花,一一宝花又有五百宝台,每一宝台皆现十方诸佛的净妙国土相,顶上肉髻如同钵头摩花,肉髻中安置一宝瓶,其余身相则与观音菩萨大同小异。

   又依据《阿唎多罗陀罗尼阿噜力品》,两位菩萨都呈现出纯金色白焰光,右手执白拂,左手执莲花,大势至菩萨身形比观音菩萨稍小。

   在胎藏界曼荼罗中,大势至菩萨在观音院内列上方第二位,全身肉色,左手持开合莲花,右手屈中间三指,置于胸前,坐于赤莲花上。

  大势至菩萨能够给您智慧之光,使您在人生道路上一帆风顺,事业有成,佛光永照,化煞化凶,吉祥如意,使您能够随佛光道路前进,发挥自我的一切智慧,达到理想的境界。

   诸葛长青:阿弥陀佛。念诵大势至菩萨,可以得到大势至菩萨智慧光芒照射,护佑终身、开悟智慧、处处吉祥如意。

   大势至。梵语称「摩诃那钵」,现今在极乐世界,是第二顺位递补佛位的菩萨。净土信仰中的重要菩萨。又译作摩诃那钵、得大势、大势志、大精进,或简称势至、势志。为阿弥陀三尊之一,与观世音菩萨同为阿弥陀佛的胁侍。此弥陀三尊,在我国佛教界被习称为「西方三圣」。相对于观音的代表慈悲,大势至菩萨象征智慧。《观无量寿经》云「以智慧光普照一切,令离三涂,得无上力,是故号此菩萨名大势至。」

   此菩萨与观音菩萨俱摄护众生,被视为临终来迎令得往生极乐世界的菩萨,而广受崇信。如《大佛顶首楞严经》卷五云「我本因地以念佛心入无生忍,今于此界摄念佛人归于净土。」

   大势至与弥陀、观音二圣,有极深的渊源。在弥陀成佛以前,他即曾与观世音菩萨共同为弥陀的侍者。在未来世,他也将步观世音菩萨之后而成佛,名为善住功德宝王佛。

   大势至菩萨,根据「观无量寿经」记载大势至菩萨以独特的智慧之光遍照世间众生,使众生能解脱血光刀兵之灾,得无上之力。因此,大势至菩萨被认为光明智慧第一,所到之处天地震动,保护众生,免受邪魔所害。

   二、大势至菩萨是西方三圣之一。智慧无限、法力强大、护佑众生。

   诸葛长青:阿弥陀佛。极乐世界有三圣西方三圣,是指:大势至菩萨、阿弥陀佛、观世音菩萨。大势至菩萨是三圣之一。大家经常看到阿弥陀佛身边有两个菩萨。左边的是大势至菩萨、右边的是观世音菩萨。

     大势至菩萨,梵音名号Mahāsthāmaprāpta,藏音名号Mthu-chen-thob是阿弥陀佛的右胁侍者,又称大精进菩萨,简称为势至,与阿弥陀佛、观世音菩萨(阿弥陀佛的左胁侍)合称为“西方三圣”。

   《悲华经》中说过去有个转轮圣王,大太子是观世音菩萨,二太子是大势至菩萨,三太子是文殊菩萨,四太子是普贤菩萨。后来转轮圣王修行成佛,即西方极乐世界阿弥陀佛,观世音和大势至成为父亲的左右胁侍。
    大势至菩萨,梵语称“摩诃那钵”,现今在极乐世界,为第二顺位递补佛位的菩萨。《观无量寿经》载,他“以智慧光普照一切,令离三涂(指地狱、饿鬼、畜生‘三恶趋’)得无上力”,因此称为大势至菩萨。他头顶宝瓶内存智慧光,让智慧之光普照世界一切众生,使众生解脱血光刀兵之灾,得无上之力。
   根据《观无量寿经》记载:大势至菩萨以独特的智慧之光遍照世间众生,使众生能解脱血光刀兵之灾,得无上之力量,威势自在,因此,大势至菩萨被认为是光明智慧第一,所到之处天地震动,保护众生,免受邪魔所害。
 

   三、大势至菩萨圣诞日。

   大势至菩萨圣诞在农历七月十三。

   四、大势至菩萨是净土宗初祖。

   诸葛长青:阿弥陀佛。大势至菩萨诚心念诵阿弥陀佛,成菩萨后持续念诵,令人尊敬赞叹。故为念佛净土宗初祖。

   大势至菩萨以智慧光普照一切,令众生离三途,得无上力;又彼行时,十方世界一切地皆震动,故称大势至。

   与观世音菩萨同为西方极乐世界阿弥陀佛之胁侍,世称西方三圣,观音菩萨代表慈悲,大势至菩萨代表喜舍。

   据观无量寿经载,其天冠中有五百宝花,一一宝花又有五百宝台,每一宝台皆现十方诸佛之净妙国土相;顶上之肉髻如钵头摩花,肉髻中安置一宝瓶;其余身相则与观世音菩萨大同小异。
   大势至菩萨念佛圆通章。大势至启教之人也。念佛修净土之教,二十五位菩萨每人不同,大势至教我们专修念佛法门,求生净土。

   他是净宗初祖,夏莲居老居士首先在《净宗捷要》一书中提出大势至菩萨为净宗初祖,在虚空法界提倡念佛法门只有大势至菩萨。一句阿弥陀佛念到底,从初发心一直到成佛不改变,成佛之后还是念阿弥陀佛,在十方世界广度众生也是用这一句阿弥陀佛,称之为净宗初祖,名实相符。
   以念佛心,入无生忍。一般说圆教七八九地菩萨才证到无生忍。

   “都摄六根,净念相继”,此二句是念佛的方法。  

   “不假方便,自得心开”,不要借任何方法帮助,心开即与禅宗大彻大悟相应,与密宗三密相应即身成佛相应。

   “自得心开”是理,“一心不乱,入三摩地”是证得首楞严大定。

   大势至与观世音两位大菩萨现居此娑婆世界,对念佛人摄取不舍,令离三途,得生净土。念佛是方法,有智慧才能念佛。世间聪明人未必有智慧。聪明是世智辩聪,为八难之一,八难中任何一难均障碍修道,障碍出三界,障碍了生死、出轮回、成佛道。性体周遍为圆,妙用无碍为通。又妙智所证之理圆通。用念佛的方法,可以达到圆通的境界。

   《大佛顶首楞严经-大势至菩萨念佛圆通章》记载了大势至菩萨故事:

   大势至法王子。与其同伦五十二菩萨即从座起。顶礼佛足而白佛言。
    我忆往昔恒河沙劫。有佛出世名无量光。十二如来相继一劫。其最后佛名超日月光。彼佛教我念佛三昧。譬如有人一专为忆一人专忘。如是二人若逢不逢或见非见。二人相忆二忆念深。如是乃至从生至生。同于形影不相乖异。十方如来怜念众生,如母忆子。若子逃逝,虽忆何为。子若忆母如母忆时。母子历生,不相违远。若众生心忆佛念佛。现前当来必定见佛去佛不远。不假方便自得心开。如染香人身有香气。此则名曰香光庄严。我本因地以念佛心入无生忍。今于此界摄念佛人归于净土。佛问圆通我无选择。都摄六根净念相继。得三摩地斯为第一。(《大佛顶如来密因修证了义诸菩萨万行首楞严经》唐 般刺蜜帝译)。
  大势至菩萨是以都摄六根,念佛法门而证道,他经历十信、十住;十行、十回向、十地及等觉、妙觉;由念佛至成道的五十二个阶段;据《楞严经大势至菩萨》说,大势至菩萨于往昔劫中,得遇十二如来,相继一劫;其最后佛,名超日月光佛;彼佛即以念佛法门,而开示之。这超日月光佛,实际上就是阿弥陀佛。按《无量寿经》称阿弥陀佛亦号无量光佛、无边光佛、无碍光佛、无对光佛、炎王光佛、清净光佛、欢喜光佛、智慧光佛、不断光佛、难思光佛、无称光佛、超日月光佛。以光明立佛,分十二号,阿弥陀佛一名,具十二光明;全归于阿弥陀佛一名,包含无遗。这超日月光佛所示之法,圆顿直捷,甚深切要。大势至菩萨于闻法后,严谨受教,精进修持,即由念佛而证得三昧。这便是大势至往昔发心修行之因缘与证得念佛三昧之来源。唯此法门圆顿真捷,简便易修,胜过一切法门。

   所以在楞严法会上,当释迦牟尼佛向与会众问圆通时,大势至菩萨特别介绍了这念佛三昧法门。

   大势至菩萨说:“……譬如有人,一专为忆,一人专忘,如是二人,若逢不逢,或见非见。二人相忆,二忆念深,如是乃至从生至生,同于形影,不相乖异。十方如来怜念众生,如母忆子。若子逃逝,虽忆何为?子若忆母,如母忆时,母子历生,不相违远。若众生心,忆佛念佛,现前当来,必定见佛,去佛不远,不假方便,自得心开,如染香人,身有香气,此则名香光庄严。我本因地,以念佛心,人佛生忍。今于此世界,摄念佛人,归于净土。佛问圆通,我无选择。都摄六根,净念相继,得三摩地,斯为第一。”大势至菩萨于因地时,以念佛心人无生忍,故今摄此娑婆世界之念佛众生,归人净土。
   诸葛长青:阿弥陀佛。很多人念佛,越念佛越烦躁,阻挠重重。如何解决呢?仰仗诸佛菩萨威力加持,诸葛长青顿悟了“国学五合一”方法和念佛仪轨,只要认真做好“国学五合一”、认真做好“念佛仪轨”,就会迅速进入念佛清净心境界。
