Master Yinguang taught to read scriptures: precautions for reading scriptures

印光大师开示读经书：读经书注意事项

amitabha. Buddhist scriptures are the symbol of wisdom of Buddha and Bodhisattva. If Buddha and Bodhisattva are present, they should be read respectfully.

-----Zhuge Changqing

amitabha.

Human development needs wisdom

Humans need guidance. At this time, we should be grateful to Buddha and Bodhisattva, good gods and sages, leaving many treasures of wisdom for mankind.

Zhuge Changqing believes that we are lucky to live in this era because we can access the wisdom of all thinkers.

Thank Confucius for leaving Confucianism and classics to mankind; His thoughts are embodied in the classics such as "University", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", "The Book of Changes" and "The Book of Filial Piety".

We are grateful for the Taoist thoughts left by Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu's thoughts are embodied in such classics as the Tao Te Ching and the Ching Jing Ching.

Thankfully, Sakyamuni Buddha, the Buddhist school, left Buddhist thoughts for mankind. The thought of Sakyamuni Buddha is embodied in such classics as Vajra Sutra, Buddha Says Amitabha Sutra, Dizang Sutra, and Fahua Sutra.

Thank the Christian Jesus for leaving the Christian culture to mankind. The thought of Jesus is embodied in the Bible.

Thank Islam Mohammed for leaving Islamic culture to mankind. Mohammed's thought is embodied in the Koran.

Thank you.

We should read the wisdom book respectfully.

Zhuge Changqing believed that with respect, you will get wisdom blessing.

Master Yinguang said that if you want to gain the benefits of Buddhism, you must seek from respect. If there is one point of respect, one point of guilt will be eliminated, and one point of wisdom will be added; If there is a lot of respect, it will eliminate a lot of sin and increase a lot of wisdom.

Buddhist scriptures are the masters of the three generations of Buddhas. The Buddhist body relics of the Tathagata can also be seen as real Buddha, not as paper and ink. Ritual chanting and chanting, all kinds of practice should be based on sincere respect.

Each Buddhist sutra is protected by the dragon god, and must be read and preserved respectfully.

Beginners of Buddhism often don't know how to read the scriptures when they get them. Some of them just turn them over, some of them just put them on the table, and so on, which seems disrespectful to the wisdom of Buddha and Bodhisattva.

Zhuge Changqing shared with the predestined people the teachings of the Indian Light Master on reading sutras:

1、 Master Yinguang reminded people to read Buddhist classics with respect:

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. When you read Buddhist sutras, you must be respectful, so that you will have good luck. Master Yinguang is the Buddha and Bodhisattva again. He has great merit and is admirable. He not only founded the Honghua Society, which not only spread the immeasurable Buddha dharma, but also left a lot of wisdom for human beings, which was saved in the "Ink and Light Master's Note". It is recommended that you take a look at Master Yinguang's Banknote, and you can get unlimited wisdom.

Read Buddhist sutras with respect.

What is respect? Yin Guang Master Yun:

"If you clean your hands and clean your case, the Lord is respectful and sincere, if you are facing the Buddha, if you are facing the teacher, then you can get unlimited benefits from yourself."

If you want to read the classics, you must wash your hands and mouth, clean your table, sit upright, close your hands, and then open the scripture book with your thumb and two fingers. Be careful to protect the scripture from contamination and damage. One is to maintain the life span of the scriptures, the other is to maintain the integrity of the scriptures, the third is to generate merit and wisdom, and the fourth is to keep away from the mistakes.

What is disrespect? Yin Guang Master Yun:

"If you are unbridled, arbitrarily blasphemous, stubborn, and slandered, you will be guilty of a lot of crimes, and you will suffer endless consequences."

For example, place the classics on a dirty table, or in a messy book in the world, or at the bottom, or on the head of the bed, or in clothing, or use your fingernails to scratch the scripture pages, or use your mouth saliva to dip on your fingers to turn the scripture pages, or use your second and middle fingers to pick up the scripture pages, or use your fingers to lift the shoes while wearing shoes, and then use this hand to read the classics, or look at the scripture, think about the scripture, and if your hands are not busy, you can casually rub their feet and fingertips, Then read the classics with your hands.

Or when you are watching the scriptures, you don't need to cover your mouth when coughing, sneezing, yawning, or when you are reading the scriptures, you talk to people without covering the scriptures, and laugh loudly, or you sit upright, and half sit and half lie down, and tilt your feet to read, or you put the scriptures on your legs to read, or you roll up the scriptures, and read them as a novel book, and so on. There are 15 kinds of disrespectful classics mentioned above. If you give them in detail, they will be limitless.

When observing the scriptures, we must carefully consider the blessings and sins of respect and disrespect for the spiritual texts of the Sanzang holy religion.

2、 Master Yinguang said how to read Buddhist scriptures correctly

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. Read with sincerity and you will be rich, lucky and enlightened. Master Yinguang's book, if you want to gain the benefits of Buddhism, you must seek from respect. If there is one point of respect, one point of guilt will be eliminated, and one point of wisdom will be added; If there is a lot of respect, it will eliminate a lot of sin and increase a lot of wisdom.

There are many ways to enter, only people's interests, there is no certain way. The certainty is honesty and respect. Although all Buddhas will be born in the future, these two things cannot be easy. However, we are not committed to this because we want to eliminate the tiredness of our career and quickly prove that there is no life. For example, the wood is rootless and wants to grow, and the bird is wingless and wants to fly. What can we get?!

The world wants to read without fear. When you get up in the morning, you don't wash yourself. Either a couch or a pillow. When you lie and watch at night, you will gather with profanity clothes; If you read the case, you will be cluttered with sundries. We regard the words of sages and sages as the same as the paper of destruction. We don't care and have no respect. The chanting of Buddha is even simple and easy, and even broad and great. Only when you are sincere and sincere, can you feel the way of friendship, that is to say, you can gain benefits from your own life. If you are lazy, lazy, and have no fear, although it is a distant cause, the crime of contempt is unimaginable.

The scriptures are the teachers of the three generations of Buddhas. The Buddha dharma body relics can also be seen as the real Buddha, not as paper and ink. When dealing with the scriptures and images, it should be like a loyal minister serving the Holy Lord and a filial son reading the will. If you can do so, you will have no karma and will not disappear.

Nowadays, there are many scholar-bureaucrats who study Buddhism. However, they all read the text, understand its meaning, and take it for oral use, just in the name of "Bo Yitong". As for those who are respectful and sincere, those who practice according to the teachings are rare. I often said that if you want to gain the benefits of Buddhism, you must seek from respect. If there is one point of respect, one point of guilt will be eliminated, and one point of wisdom will be added; If there is a lot of respect, it will eliminate a lot of sin and increase a lot of wisdom. If you are disrespectful and disrespectful, your guilt will increase and your blessings and wisdom will decrease. Alas!

Ritual chanting and chanting, all kinds of practice should be based on sincere respect. Sincerity and respect are as great as the extreme. Even if the merits and virtues mentioned in the scripture cannot be achieved in the ordinary world, it is difficult to think about and discuss what they have achieved. If there is no sincere respect, it is the same as singing opera. Its joys, sorrows and joys are fake makeup. Even if there is merit and virtue, it is not more than human and natural bliss; And this stupid blessing must be relied on to create evil karma. How can it be expected to suffer in the future!

Honesty and respect. This word is known all over the world, and this way is unknown all over the world. (XXX) From the deep sin, the enterprise eliminates the sin, in order to repay the Buddha's grace, every time he seeks the cultivation of virtue, he knows sincerity and respect, which is actually the best secret of life and death. Therefore, we often earnestly talk with those who are predestined.

As for reading scriptures, if you want to be a magician and preach for the public, you should read the scriptures first and then the notes. If it is not full of spirit and insight, is it futile to work hard and lose years in vain?

If you want to get real benefits with your relatives, you must be sincere and clean. Or sit for a short while, concentrate on your body and mind, and then worship Buddha to recite, or stop reading silently. Or sit at the back of Buddha worship for a while, and then open the sutra. You must sit upright, like facing the holy face, and listen to the sound of the circle. You dare not to be lazy, and dare not to read the parting from the beginning to the end, regardless of whether the text is righteous or not. If you read the scriptures, you can understand the two empty theories and verify the phase method. Even if the root mechanism is dull, it can also eliminate karma and increase wisdom. The sixth ancestor said that when you look at the Vajra Sutra, you can see clearly. That is to say, you look at your ears in this way, so it is called □ but □. From this point of view, all Mahayana Sutras can have a clear view of their nature, not only the Vajra Sutra.

If we separate all the way, what is the meaning of this sentence, and what is the meaning of this paragraph, all of which belong to the delusion of human feelings. How can we follow the Buddha's meaning, realize the purpose of the sutra, eliminate the karma, and increase the esteem of wisdom? If you are respectful and respectful, you can still have fewer good roots. If you read Confucian books as an old scholar, you will see the crime of contempt, which is lofty and profound. The good will lead to the bad, that is, this generation.

The ancients paid special attention to listening to scriptures, so they could not separate with their hearts. If one person recites sutras aloud and one person listens attentively, the task is clear. His heart is focused, and he dare not make any noise. If you indulge a little, you will be cut off. The reciter has a text to follow, and can recite clearly even if his mind is not big enough; The listener's voice is the only support. Once indulged, it will become fragmented. If you can listen like this, you will be more respectful than the reciter. If the chanter is a little less respectful, his merits and virtues are difficult to compare with those of the listener.

Today, people regard the Buddhist scriptures as old paper, and the sundries and scriptures on the scripture table are piled up in disorder. However, without washing hands, washing mouth, shaking body, lifting feet, or even pulling feet, all are unbridled. They want to read sutras, get blessings, and kill sins, and only want to destroy the evil king of Buddhism. This is to prove their admiration, saying that they are lively and harmonious, and are in harmony with the wonderful way of Mahayana. The only thing that the Buddha who really practices can see is that he is sad, and his tears come out of his eyes, and his evil family is not able to hear.

The wise man recites the sutras, and suddenly realizes that there is no way to separate his mind. Once Goodall wrote the Chinese scriptures, he concentrated on it, so he read it with great emotion. When it was dark, he still wrote it. The waiter came in and said that it was dark, so he still wrote it. Then he reached out and disappeared. Read the sutras in this way, read the words in meditation, hold mantras and chant Buddha with the same concentration. As for the length of exertion, it will be beneficial once it is suddenly connected. Ming Xueqiao believed in Zen master and was born in Fucheng, Ningbo. He was illiterate. He became a monk in middle age. Kuseng studied hard. He could not tolerate others, and pedestrians could not do it. His asceticism was really hard for people to do. After a long time, he had a thorough understanding. As he said casually, he had a good understanding of Zen. You still can't read and write, but you can't read for a long time. For a long time, he was a great writer. All these interests come from never separate and specialized research. Those who read the sutras should also take this as the law.

When reading the scriptures, we can't make a difference. Naturally, delusions lurk and naive discovery. If you want to study the theory of righteousness, or read the notes, you should set up another time and study only. When studying, although not as serious as when reading, it can not be totally disrespectful, but it is slightly more comfortable than when reading. If you are not able to work, you should focus on reading and study, but with a slight hint; Otherwise, we will be poor all the time, but even if the research is as clear as the clouds and the moon, it is just a verbal work, and there is no interference in the body, mind, life and death. When the 30th of December came, it was decided that there was no need at all.

If you can read the scriptures as mentioned above, you should be wise and clear. The three kinds of feelings and opinions should belong to the country where there is nothing. If it is not the reading of scriptures, not only three kinds of feelings and opinions may not be born, or they may be caused by karma, evil opinions, no cause and effect, and all kinds of troubles, such as lust, killing and stealing, will rise one after another. However, I still thought that the Mahayana pedestrians were all right, so I helped the Sixth Ancestor's heart to hold the precepts, and all the precepts should be broken without breaking. What's more, it's a rare Dharma to practice!

Therefore, the ancestors of all Buddhas, who advocate the Pure Land, cannot find the ear by inheriting the Buddha's mercy and subduing the karma. We should give priority to chanting Buddha and help with reading scriptures. [If the Dharma, Shurangama, Avatama, Nirvana, Vajra, and Enlightenment are all necessary. One master or the six sutras can be read one by one. But the reading of the Dharma cannot be done without following what I said. It is not sad that we should not consider the benefits, and we should lose them by being unscrupulous and separating the feelings.]

When the Tathagata dies, all that remains is scripture and image. If you regard the civil and gold color images as the true Buddha, you can eliminate the karma and break the confusion, and prove the samadhi and come out of life and death. If it is regarded as civil gold color, it is also just civil gold color. It is also a kind of gold color, and it is not wrong to desecrate it; If you desecrate the golden Buddha image of civil engineering, it will be too much.

Reading and reciting the Buddhist scriptures and the ancestral words, I will read them for me as if they were the former Buddha. I dare not be careless. If you can do so, I say that you will be able to produce the highest nine grades immediately. Otherwise, it is the game method, and its interests are only known and widely seen. It can be said that the slightest bit of it can not be really used. It is the ability of hearsay. In the three treasures, the ancients were all sincere and respectful, not only speaking in general. Today, people are not willing to talk about the word "Qu". How about implementing it?

3、 Free marriage of classics on Honghua Society website (respect classics - please read them)

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. Honghua Society, founded by the Master of Engraving, advocates the printing and free circulation of limitless scriptures. Today, it is still quietly contributing, printing and giving scriptures and free circulation. You can search Honghua Society to welcome all kinds of scriptures.

In order to inherit the Dharma spreading philosophy of the Indian Light Master, the Honghua Society has all the magic weapons of free marriage. In order to make the vast number of lotus friends obtain real Dharma benefits by worshiping the magic weapon and seeking benefits far from sin, "one share of respect, one share of benefit; one share of respect, one share of benefit", so the following requirements for respecting the Buddha Sutra are formulated, and please refer to them for implementation.

（1） Notice to welcome magic weapon

1. Those who welcome the magic weapon should be respectful, grateful, and think of difficulties, and call and write to welcome the invitation according to their needs.

2. Buddhist scriptures are not collections. If you put them on the shelf without circulating them, you will be afraid of blocking the guilt of Buddha's light; You can wait until you have read the magic weapon you requested last time, and then welcome other magic weapons you need.

3. The magic weapons of our club are free of charge and cannot be sold. The agency also did not send people to raise money outside.

4. For individual applications, within three working days from the date of sending the welcome information, the agency will mail out the magic weapon.

5. After receiving our magic weapon, if you find any printing and binding errors, please call or write to us and send it back to us for replacement.

（2） Buddhist Sutra Placement Instructions

1. The classics should be placed on top of other books. The scriptures have their own levels. From top to bottom, they are: the original classics, the classic notes, the general knowledge of Buddhist names and expressions, the recitation and other Buddhist books, the sage's speech collection, educational books, and general books.

2. The scriptures should be placed respectfully on a clean place, and should not be thrown on the bed or seat at will.

3. If you carry it in your hand or in your pocket, it should not be lower than your waist or under your armpit. Men cannot roll up the Buddhist books and put them into their trouser pockets. Women cannot put Buddhist books into women's leather bags. Women's leather bags have too many sundries, which is not as good as the law; Small Buddhist scriptures should only be put into your jacket pocket, otherwise you will lose respect. Although there are small details, you should not know them. You should correct them immediately and should not repeat them.

4. It is not allowed to blow the dust on the warp, and it should be wiped with a special clean cloth.

5. Do not have all kinds of filthy behaviors in the place where the classics are located.

6. After reading the scriptures and other magic treasures, they can be circulated and given to other lotus friends. They cannot be burned or discarded at will.

（3） Instructions for reading and reciting Buddhist sutras

1. The scriptures are the teachers of the three generations of Buddhas. The Buddha dharma body relics can also be seen as the real Buddha, not as paper and ink. Ritual chanting and chanting, all kinds of practice should be based on sincere respect.

2. You must sit upright and listen to the music in person, such as the holy face. You dare not to be lazy and lazy, and dare not read the parting from the beginning to the end, regardless of the meaning of the text. All feelings and delusions will lead to contempt.

3. Don't dip your fingers in saliva and turn the pages.

4. Do not read scriptures lying down, let alone touch scriptures with dirty hands.

5. You cannot scribble on the scriptures. It is not allowed to talk and eat while reading scriptures, as is the case with other scriptures.

7. Do not read scriptures in the bathroom.

8. If you have several of the same scriptures that can be widely circulated, you must tell the other party that you should respect and respect them very much before you can respectfully invite them.

（4） Damage treatment

1. The sutra is a magic weapon and a guide for all living beings to escape from suffering. It should be respected and respected. If there is any damage, it should be repaired immediately. The place where the sutra is located is protected by the dragon sky. If you let it be damaged and discarded, you will be guilty of countless crimes.

2. I have been invited to some poorly printed scriptures before, or there are missing words or missing words. Later, we invited beautiful scriptures. You can find out the typos of the former, correct them with stickers and time stamps, and then make friends with lotus friends who need them later.

3. Scriptures that are seriously damaged and cannot be repaired or have many errors can be incinerated, but they can not be burned as ordinary paper. They must be equipped with a separate chemical device to prevent dust from flying elsewhere. Take the ash and put it in a very dense cloth bag, and then add clean sand or clean stone, so that it will sink in the water and not float on both sides. If you have crossed the sea, you can go deep into the sea, or deep into the river, but you can't go deep into the ditch or river. If you are a practitioner, you are doing as the law.

If you can follow the above, whether you hold the scriptures, recite the scriptures, or even print the Buddhist scriptures, you can cultivate blessings, wisdom, and food, and increase the good roots of Bodhi, in order to prove the Buddha's results in this life, and not retreat to become a Buddha.

Master Yinguang (1861-1940), a Buddhist monk who taboos the holy volume of the law and is often ashamed of himself, was born in Heyang County, Shaanxi Province in 1861, with the common name of Zhao. The 13th generation of the founder of Pure Land Sect is also an important figure in the revival of Pure Land Sect, and has made significant contributions to the revival of modern Buddhism in China. He has written a lot of works in his life, including the four volumes of Master Yinguang's Wen Banknote, the second volume of the continuation of Master Wen Banknote, and the Enlargement of Master Yinguang's Wen Banknote (source of Master Yinguang's composition chapter: Honghua Society)

阿弥陀佛。佛经是佛菩萨智慧象征，如佛菩萨亲临，当恭敬心阅读。

----- 诸葛长青

　 阿弥陀佛。

   人类发展需要智慧、

   人类需要指引，这时候，我们要感恩佛菩萨、善神、圣贤，给人类留下许多智慧宝典。

    诸葛长青认为，我们生存于这个时代的人是幸运的，因为可以接触到诸位思想家的智慧。

   感恩儒家孔子给人类留下儒家思想和经典；他的思想体现在《大学》、《中庸》、《论语》、《孟子》《易经》、《孝经》等经典中。

   感恩道家老子给人类留下道家思想。老子的思想体现在《道德经》、《清静经》等经典中。

    感恩佛家释迦牟尼佛给人类留下佛家思想。释迦牟尼佛的思想体现在《金刚经》、《佛说阿弥陀佛经》、《地藏经》、《法华经》等经典中。

     感恩基督教耶稣给人类留下基督文化。耶稣的思想体现在《圣经》中。

   感恩伊斯兰教穆罕默德给人类留下伊斯兰文化。穆罕默德的思想体现在《古兰经》中。

   感恩......。

   对于智慧宝典，我们要恭敬心阅读。

   诸葛长青认为，有一份恭敬，就会得到一份智慧加持。

    印光大师说，欲得佛法实益，须向恭敬中求。有一分恭敬，则消一分罪业，增一分福慧；有十分恭敬，则消十分罪业，增十分福慧。

   佛教经典，乃三世诸佛之师，如来法身舍利，亦当作真佛看，不可作纸墨等看。礼诵持念，种种修持，皆当以诚敬为主。

   每本佛经，都有龙天善神护佑，必须恭敬心阅读、保存。

   初学佛的人，很多时候，拿到经书，不知如何阅读，有的是随手一翻，有的是随便放在桌子上等等，显得对佛菩萨智慧不恭敬。

   诸葛长青和有缘者分享印光法师关于读经的开示：

   一、印光大师提醒人们要用恭敬心阅读佛教经典：

    诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。读佛经，必须恭敬心，如此才会吉祥如意。印光大师是佛菩萨再来，功德巨大，令人敬仰。他不仅创办了弘化社，不仅传播了无量佛法，而且给人类留下了许多智慧，这些智慧保存在《印光大师文钞中》。推荐大家看看印光大师的《印光大师文钞》，可以得到无量智慧。

     读佛经书要恭敬。

     何谓恭敬？印光大师云：

   “净手洁案、主敬存诚、如面佛天、如临师保，则无边利益自可亲得。”

   凡欲阅读经典，须先洗手漱口、洁净几案、端身正坐、合起双掌，然后以拇指与二指翻开经本，慎重小心保护经文，勿令染污、勿使损毁。一则保持经文寿命，二则保持经文完整，三则能生福德及智慧性，四则远离诸过也。

　　何谓不恭敬？印光大师云：

  “若肆无忌惮、任意亵渎、及固执管见、妄生毁谤，则罪过弥天、苦报无尽也。”

   例如将经典放置不净几案上、或置于世间杂乱书中、或放置最底处、或床头上、或置衣物中，或用指甲划经页翻阅、令经篇上有指甲划痕，或用口涎沾于指上来翻经页，或用二指及中指夹起经文翻阅，或穿鞋时用手指提鞋、再用此手翻阅经典，或眼看经文、心思经文，双手无事，则闲摩其脚及脚指隙，然后再用手翻阅经典。

   或正在观阅经时，咳嗽、打喷嚏、打呵欠不用手掩口，或正阅经时，未将经覆盖便与人谈话、及大说大笑，或不端身正坐、及半坐半卧、并斜身翘起脚来阅读，或将经置于腿上翻阅，或将经书卷起，当小说唱本看等等。以上各举不敬经典有十五种，若详举则无量矣。

　　祈缁素大德，于观览经文之时，必须仔细思量，对于三藏圣教灵文，恭敬与不恭敬之福罪为要。

　　二、印光大师说如何正确阅读佛经　　

    诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。用真诚心阅读自会富贵吉祥、开悟智慧。印光大师书，欲得佛法实益，须向恭敬中求。有一分恭敬，则消一分罪业，增一分福慧；有十分恭敬，则消十分罪业，增十分福慧。

   入道多门，唯人志趣，了无一定之法。其一定者，曰诚，曰恭敬。此二事，虽尽未来际诸佛出世，皆不能易也。而吾人以博地凡夫，欲顿消业累，速证无生，不致力于此，譬如木无根而欲茂，鸟无翼而欲飞，其可得乎？！

　　世欲读书，绝无敬畏。晨起则不加盥漱，登厕则不行洗濯。或置座榻，或作枕头。夜卧而观，则与亵衣聚；对案而读，则与杂物乱堆。视圣贤之语言，同破坏之故纸，漫不介意，毫无敬容。念佛一法，乃至简至易，至广至大之法。必须恳切志诚之极，方能感应道交，即生亲获实益。若懒惰懈怠，毫无敬畏，虽种远因，而亵慢之罪，有不堪设想者也。　

　　经典乃三世诸佛之师，如来法身舍利，亦当作真佛看，不可作纸墨等看。对经象时，当如忠臣之奉圣主，孝子之读遗嘱。能如是，则无业障而不消，无福慧而不足矣。

　　现今士大夫学佛者多，然率皆读其文，解其义，取其供给口头，以博一通家之名而已。至于恭敬志诚，依教修持者，诚为难得其人。余常谓，欲得佛法实益，须向恭敬中求。有一分恭敬，则消一分罪业，增一分福慧；有十分恭敬，则消十分罪业，增十分福慧。若无恭敬而致亵慢，则罪业愈增，而福慧愈减矣。哀哉！

　　礼诵持念，种种修持，皆当以诚敬为主。诚敬若极，经中所说功德，纵在凡夫地不能圆得，而其所得，亦已难思难议。若无诚敬，则与唱戏相同，其苦乐悲欢，皆属假妆，不由中出。纵有功德，亦不过人天痴福而已；而此痴福，必倚之以造恶业，其将来之苦，何有了期！

　　曰诚，曰恭敬。此语举世咸知，此道举世咸昧。（某某）由罪业深重，企消除罪业，以报佛恩，每寻求古德之修持懿范，由是而知诚与恭敬，实为超凡入圣了生脱死之极妙秘决。故常与有缘者谆谆言之。

　　至于阅经，若欲作法师，为众宣扬，当先阅经文，次看注疏。若非精神充足，见解过人，罔不徒劳心力，虚丧岁月？

　　若欲随分亲得实益，必须至诚恳切，清净三业。或先端坐少顷，凝定身心，然后拜佛朗诵，或止默阅。或拜佛后端坐少顷，然后开经。必须端身正坐，如对圣容，亲聆圆音，不敢萌一念懈怠，不敢起一念分别，从首至尾，一直阅去，无论若文若义，一概不加理会。如是阅经，利根之人，便能悟二空理，证实相法。即根机钝劣，亦可以消除业障，增长福慧。六祖谓，但看金刚经，即能明心见性，即指如此看耳，故名曰□但□。能如此看，诸大乘经，皆能明心见性，岂独金刚经为然。

　　若一路分别，此一句是甚么义，此一段是甚么义，全属凡情妄想，卜度思量，岂能冥符佛意，圆悟经旨，因兹业障消灭，福慧增崇乎？若知恭敬，犹能少种善根，倘全如老学究之读儒书，将见亵慢之罪，岳耸渊深。以善因而招恶果，即此一辈人也。

　　古人专重听经，以心不能起分别故。如有一人出声诵经，一人于旁摄心谛听，字字句句，务期分明。其心专注，不敢外缘一切声色。若稍微放纵，便致断绝，文义不能贯通矣。诵者有文可依，心不大摄，亦能诵得清楚；听者惟声是托，一经放纵，便成割裂。若能如此听，比诵者能至诚恭敬之功德等。若诵者恭敬稍疏，则其功德，难与听者相比矣。

　　今人视佛经如故纸，经案上杂物与经乱堆。而手不盥洗，口不漱荡，身或摇摆，足或翘举，甚至放＊抠脚，一切肆无忌惮，而欲阅经获福灭罪，唯欲灭佛法之魔王，为之证明赞叹，谓其活泼圆融，深合大乘不执着之妙道。真修实践之佛子见之，唯有黯然神伤，潸焉出涕，嗟其魔眷横兴，无可如何耳。

　　智者诵经，豁然大悟，寂尔入定，岂有分别心之所能得哉。一古德写法华经，一心专注，遂得念极情亡，至天黑定，尚依旧写，侍者入来，言天黑定了，只么还写，随即伸手不见掌矣。如此阅经，与参禅看话头，持咒念佛，同一专心致志。至于用力之久，自有一旦豁然贯通之益耳。明雪峤信禅师，宁波府城人，目不识丁。中年出家，苦参力究，忍人所不能忍，行人所不能行，其苦行实为人所难能，久之大彻大悟，随口所说，妙契禅机。犹不识字，不能写，久之则识字矣。又久之则手笔纵横，居然一大写家。此诸利益，皆从不分别专精参究中来。阅经者亦当以此为法。

　　阅经时，断断不可起分别，自然妄念潜伏，天真发现。若欲研究义理，或翻阅注疏，当另立一时，唯事研究。当研究时，虽不如阅时之严肃，亦不可全无恭敬，不过比阅时稍舒泰些。未能业消智朗，须以阅为主，研究但略带；否则终日穷年，但事研究，纵令研得如拨云见月、开门见山一样，亦只是口头活计，于身心性命、生死分上，毫无干涉。腊月三十日到来，决定一毫也用不着。

　　若能如上所说阅经，当必业消智朗，三种情见，当归于无何有之乡矣。若不如是阅经，非但三种情见，未必不生，或恐由宿业力，引起邪见，拨无因果，及淫杀盗妄种种烦恼，相继而兴，如火炽然。而犹以为大乘行人，一切无碍，遂援六祖心平何劳持戒之语，而诸戒俱以破而不破为真持矣。甚矣，修行之难得真法也！

　　所以诸佛诸祖，主张净土者，以承佛慈力，制伏业力，不能发现耳。当以念佛为主，阅经为助。〖若法华，楞严，华严，涅盘，金刚，圆觉。或专主一经，或此六经，一一轮阅，皆无不可。而阅之之法，断断不可不依吾说，而苟且从事。致令不思议利益，由肆无忌惮并分别妄情而失之。岂不哀哉！〗

　　夫如来灭度，所存者唯经与像。若以土木金彩等像视作真佛，即能灭业障而破烦惑，证三昧而出生死。若以土木金彩视之，则亦土木金彩而已。又土木金彩，亵之则无过；若以亵土木金彩之佛像，则其过弥天矣。

　　读诵佛经祖语，直当作现前佛祖为我亲宣，不敢稍萌怠忽。能是如者，我说其人必能即生高登九品，彻证一真。否则是游戏法门，其利益不过多知多见，说得了了，一丝不得真实受用，乃道听途说之能事也。古人于三宝分中，皆存实敬，不徒泛泛然口谈已也。今人口尚不肯谈一屈字，况实行乎？

　　三、弘化社网经书免费结缘（恭敬经典－请经必读）

　　诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。弘化社，是印光大师所创建，倡印无量经书，免费流通，今天依旧在默默奉献，印赠经书、免费流通。大家可以搜索弘化社，联系迎请各类经书。

   弘化社为继承印光法师的弘法理念，所有法宝均为免费结缘，随缘助印。为使广大莲友通过恭敬法宝，远罪求益，获得真正的法益，“有一份恭敬，即得一份利益；有十分恭敬，即得十分利益”，故制定以下恭敬佛经的要求，请佛子参照执行。

　　（一）迎请法宝须知

　　1、迎请法宝者，须生大恭敬心，感恩心，作难遭想，根据自己的需要来电、来信迎请。

　　2、佛经非藏品，若束之高阁，而不使其流通，则恐招遮挡佛光之罪过；可待前次所请法宝阅读毕，再行迎请其他所需法宝。

　　3、本社法宝均为免费结缘，不可贩卖。本社亦无派人在外募化。

　　4、个人请书的，自发出迎请信息之日起，一般三个工作日内，本社即为邮出法宝。三个工作日后，请书莲友可至本社网站结缘名单中搜索详细邮寄情况，或发电子邮件、电话等方式至本社查询。

　　5、收到本社法宝后，若发现有印刷装订错误，请来电、来函告知，并寄回本社更换。

　　（二）佛经安置须知

　　1、经典应放在其他书籍的上面，经书有它的层次，由上而下依次为：原文经典，经典注释，一般佛学名相常识、课诵等佛学书籍，圣者言论集，教育性书籍，一般性书籍。

　　2、经书应恭敬放于清净高处，不可随意扔放床上、座椅上等不净处。

　　3、如手捧或装于口袋携带时，不得低于腰部，不可挟腋下。男居士更不可将佛书卷起放入裤袋中，女居士不可将佛书塞入女用皮包中，女用皮包杂物太多，此皆不如法；小本佛经只宜放入上衣口袋，否则犯失敬意，虽细微小节，也不可不知，知即改正，不应再犯。

　　4、不得口吹经上灰尘，应以专用净布拭去。

　　5、不可在经典所在的地方，有种种污秽行为。

　　6、凡经书等法宝阅毕，可辗转流通，赠送其他莲友，不可任意烧毁或丢弃。

　　（三）读诵佛经须知

　　1、经典乃三世诸佛之师，如来法身舍利，亦当作真佛看，不可作纸墨等看。礼诵持念，种种修持，皆当以诚敬为主。

　　2、必须端身正坐，如对圣容，亲聆圆音，不敢萌一念懈怠，不敢起一念分别，从首至尾，一直阅去，无论若文若义，一概不加理会。凡情妄想，卜度思量，将见亵慢之罪。

　　3、不可以口水沾指翻经页。

　　4、不可躺着看经书，更不可以污手触经。

　　5、经书上不可涂写。不得一边谈说杂话、吃东西，一边看经书，其他经论善书亦复如是。　

　　6、中断不看时，应夹放纸条做记号。不可折页、折角，或经书面朝下、作“人”字形搁置。

　　7、不可在洗手间内看经。

　　8、若自己有数本相同的经书，可以广为流传，务须告知对方应当十分尊重恭敬，方可予以恭请，则功德无量。

　　（四）破损处理

　　1、佛经是法宝，为众生离苦的指南，应尊重恭敬，若有破损，应速修补，经典所在之处皆有龙天护佑，若任其损坏废置，罪过无量。

　　2、以前请到过一些印刷不精美的经书，或有缺字、漏字的情况。后来又请到了精美的经书，您可以把前者的错别字找出来，用不干胶、计时贴等修正过来，以后再结缘给需要的莲友。

　　3、对破损比较严重，无法修复的经书或者错误比较多的经书，可以焚化，但不可以作一般字纸化，须另设化器，严加防守，不使灰飞它处。以其灰取而装于极密致之布袋中，又加以净沙或净石，俾入水即沉，不致漂于两岸。有过海者，到深处投之海中，或大江深处则可，小沟小河断不可投。如是行者，是为如法。

　　果能依如上所说而行者，无论奉持经书、恭诵经书，乃至助印佛书，均能培植福慧资粮，增长菩提善根，以期于此生中，径证佛果，不退成佛。
