Eight assistants who can help you learn Buddhism without deviation

学佛八正道:让你学佛不偏差的八个助手

amitabha. On the way of learning Buddhism, we should use the Eight Rights Assistant to help and promote ourselves.

----Zhuge Changqing

Nanwu Master Sakyamuni Buddha.

Namo Amitabha.

Blessed life is limitless.

On the way of practicing Buddhism, how can we not deviate? Zhuge Changqing believes that it is very important to have eight assistants.

These eight assistants are the eightfold path of Buddhism, the eightfold path, also known as the eightfold path, the eightfold holy path or the eightfold holy path. It means eight ways and means to reach the highest ideal of Buddhism (Nirvana).

What is the assistant to learn Buddhism and practice the "Eightfold Path"?

Right view: right view.

Zhengsi: just thinking.

Zhengyu: proper language.

Zhengye: proper behavior.

Zhengming: a proper life.

Zhengqin: just effort.

Mindfulness: the right idea.

Zhengding: proper meditation.

1、 Definition of the Eightfold Path

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. The Eightfold Path is the eight assistants on the path of practice, which is very critical and important. With the Eightfold Path, you won't get lost on the way to practice.

"Pain" is the reality of life. How to get rid of pain and happiness and get the ultimate liberation is our goal of learning Buddhism. At the beginning of Buddha's enlightenment, in order to free all living beings from their worries and sufferings, he specially revealed eight cultivation methods to enter the realm of the sage, which is called the Eightfold Path.

"Zheng" is separated from evil and non-evil, so it is named Zheng; "Tao", which means being able to reach Nirvana, is named Tao. Following this eightfold path can make all sentient beings gather pains and troubles to break forever, and prove the sage state of Nirvana, so it is also called the eightfold path.

The Eightfold Path is like a boat raft, which can enable all living beings to cross from one side of the mystical world to the other side of the enlightenment world, so it is also called the Eightfold Path Boat and the Eightfold Raft.

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. With the Eightfold Path, you won't get lost.

To put it simply, the Eightfold Path is the eight practical ways leading to the path of becoming Buddha, the way to get rid of worries and pains, and the correct way for Buddhists to practice. Pursuing the Eightfold Path can achieve the goal of learning Buddhism. Therefore, to be a Buddhist, we should understand the significance of the Eightfold Path.

2、 The content of the Eightfold Path

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. The Eightfold Path is the eight magic weapons given by the Buddha Sakyamuni to Buddhist practitioners. With these eight magic weapons, people will walk on the right path.

The eightfold path is what the Buddha said when he first turned the Dharma wheel; After that, until Nirvana, four mindfulness, four conscientiousness, four wishful feet, five roots, five forces, seven bodhi fractions were added to form thirty-seven items, which are the contents of the "truth" in the four holy truths. The eight principles and the thirty-seven principles are only detailed and have no difference in meaning. Among the thirty-seven items, the eightfold path is the most representative of the practice of Buddhism, so the eightfold path is generally regarded as the content meaning of the Tao. The Eightfold Path is:

Right view: right view.

Zhengsi: just thinking.

Zhengyu: proper language.

Zhengye: proper behavior.

Zhengming: a proper life.

Zhengqin: just effort.

Mindfulness: the right idea.

Zhengding: proper meditation.

（1） See right

"Right view" means correct opinions and correct concepts. An idea can often change a person's life; To learn Buddhism and practice is to correct the bad habits in the past and change the past, so correct ideas and opinions are more important. In the Buddhist classics, there are many interpretations of the "right view". The "Shenggarland Sutra" says that the right view is not the reverse view. The Huayan Sutra says that the right view is firm, and the wrong view is far away. "The Theory of Great Wisdom" said: "Just see is wisdom. "The Second Gate of the Dharma World" says that if you practice sixteen elements without omission, you can see the four meanings clearly, which is the right view.

According to the various classics, the right view is the right view of reversing the wrong view; It is the wisdom that truly knows the cause and effect of the world and the world; It is the correct view obtained by observing the universe through the Buddhist teachings such as the three dharma seals, the four holy truths, and the twelve karma. In a broad sense, all the principles recognized by Buddhism belong to the right view.

Therefore, people who study Buddhism should have the following correct views:

See karma and karma: all the laws in the world are born from karma, and karma and combination are all phenomena, and the phenomenon is "karma". The fruit comes from the combination of cause and fate. If there is cause and fate, there must be fruit. Just like planting seeds (cause), as long as the conditions (fate) are sufficient, it will blossom and bear fruit. Everyone's life is achieved by the combination of various causes. Therefore, planting good causes will naturally have good results; On the contrary, if you plant the cause of evil and the cause of evil, you will inevitably have the consequences of evil. We can see the cause and the result correctly, and then we can understand the cause and the result, and we can understand from the obsession. Zhuge Changqing: karma is not good at all. You must be careful.

See good and evil karma: karma is the meaning of creation. That is to say, it refers to physical and mental activities such as behavior, doing, action, function, will, etc. Our daily actions and contrivances converge into a great force, which determines our life's happiness and misfortune. Karma comes from actions, words, and intentions. Karma has good and bad karma, and good and evil karma, so we decide not to lose it. The so-called: "If a hundred thousand calamities, the work will not die; when karma meets, the results will also suffer." Also said: "Good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil; not not not unreported, the time is not yet." Ordinary people often have doubts about the cause and effect of good and evil because "good people suffer, bad people enjoy". In fact, the cause and effect of good and evil can not only look at the moment, sometimes good people suffer Bad people enjoy happiness, which is due to the karma created by individuals in previous lives and thus the results of this life. Only when we can see the karma of good and evil, can we be cautious in our words and actions, and avoid retribution. Zhuge Changqing: Good deeds are rewarded with good deeds, all evil deeds are forbidden, and all good deeds are carried out. This is the essential basis of life.

Just see impermanence and emptiness: all dharma are born of karma and combination, without autonomy and independence. They are born and die out of variation along with karma, so all dharma are "impermanence". Because of "impermanence", the good may become bad, and the bad may also become good. In the constant changes of birth and death, we feel that life is full of suffering, bad suffering, suffering and other kinds of suffering, so we say "suffering is impermanent". It is true that "impermanence in the sky" can make us not indulge in pleasure when we are in good times; In adversity, don't be pessimistic and negative. Because everything will change, and impermanence will bring us hope, inspire us to make progress, and lead us to be transcendental. Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. We should look at everything in life and see everything in life.

We often say that "life is impermanent". Although the reality of life is "impermanent and bitter air", there is a nirvana world of "constant happiness and self purification" in the impermanent and bitter air. At that time, the Buddha realized the Tao under the Bodhi tree and achieved the positive enlightenment, which is Nirvana, that is, to eliminate the opposition between people and me, to transcend the barriers of time and space, and to realize the eternal and infinite state of life, that is, the true Buddha nature and the true self of each of us. We learn Buddhism and practice in order to achieve such a beautiful and complete nirvana. Because human life, in terms of time, is only a few decades. White clouds and dogs are nothing but dreams; In space, it is nothing more than a seven-foot body. "There are thousands of buildings, but sleeping at night is no more than eight feet; there is a vast expanse of fertile land, and the solar eclipse is no more than a few trees." In the face of such limited life, if we can realize Nirvana, it is to break through the barriers of time and space, spread life in all spaces, and fill all time, and can transcend the fear of death and impermanence, and live in the infinite space and time. Therefore, if we see that the Buddhism is eternal, we will not have a judgment without cause and effect, and then practice good and stop evil, and finally reach the state of Nirvana. Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha, with limited life, we should do something meaningful.

（2） Meditation

"Positive thinking" is also called positive aspiration, positive thinking, positive separation, positive awareness, or meditation. It is the right will, determination, deliberation and separation. The yogi's theory of the earth said: "The non-anger and harmless thinking that arise from the positive view and the increase of power is the positive thinking." Therefore, the positive thinking is the non-greed, non-anger and non-ignorance, and the separation of evil, delusion and greed, and the reflection of truth and wisdom.

The three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance often hamper us and prevent us from moving towards the path of seeking Tao; The three poisons of greed, anger and ignorance are always embedded in our hearts and contaminate our pure nature. If we want to stay away from these three poisons, we must remember the Dharma for a long time with tenacity, and have a soft, compassionate, pure, and non-angry heart, so that our thoughts are always corresponding to the Dharma, so that the three poisons can be removed and can be absorbed into Buddhism.

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. Greed, hatred and ignorance are the three poisons of life and must be removed.

（3） Orthodox language

"True words" are good oral actions, that is, no false words, no two tongues, no evil words, and no fancy words in the ten good actions, that is, keep away from all careless words, slanders, arrogant words, abusive words, unkind words, rhetoric and false words. Therefore, Zhengyu is also called Zhengyan and Jingyu. The orthodox language must be reasonable, so it is also called logical language. For example, the Buddha's statements are true language, truthful language, no different language, and no deceit. This is the orthodox language.

Zhengyu has four contents:

Truthful words: true words.

Compassionate words: words that are gentle and tender and give rise to confidence.

Praise: praise others and make people happy.

Advantageous words: words that help others and benefit others.

（4） Zhengye

To do good deeds is to do good deeds. It refers to the personal karma of Dang. That is to say, the behavior is proper, the body, mouth and mind are clean, and they are far away from all kinds of evils, such as killing, not taking and lusting. That is to say, in the ten good deeds, no killing, no stealing, no lewdness, etc. But this is only a negative way of not doing evil deeds. The positive meaning of good deeds should be "caring for students", "compassion", "giving", etc.

In addition, according to Volume 29 of the Yogi Earth Theory, "When you live, you have pursued clothes and other things. If you walk as if you live, if you sit as if you lie down, and if you sleep as if you are aware of your work, it is a good cause." Therefore, the regular living habits are also good cause. For example, proper sleep, diet, exercise, rest and work can not only improve personal health and work efficiency, but also the main factor of family happiness and social stability.

（5） Positive fate

"Zhengming" means a proper economic life and way of making a living. According to Volume 29 of the Yogi Earth Theory, "Dharma pursues clothes, food, and even things, and keeps away from all evil fates. It is a proper fate." Normal economic life is very important, because most of the evil comes from the abnormal economic life. For example, opening casinos, restaurants, slaughterhouses, and selling fishing gear, shotguns and other shops for killing animals are not the right fate.

A proper life should be: a reasonable economic life, a noble moral life, and a harmonious social life

Purified emotional life.

（6） Regular attendance

"Zhengqin" is also called "Zhengjin", "Zhengyi", "Zhengzhi", "Zhifa" and "Zhizhi". It is to march bravely towards the goal of truth. The scripture says, "Laziness at home leads to the loss of common interests; slackness at home leads to the loss of magic weapons." Volume 43 of the Sutra of the Right Dharma and Mindfulness says that slackness is the root of all evil ways, the seed of life and death, and all the troubles in the world are born from it. Those who want to break the bondage of life and death should work hard and give up slack.

Essence is not complicated, and progress is not retreat. That is to say, strive to be good, and strive to cut off evil. "On the Great Wisdom" takes "Four Zhengqin" as the goal of refinement. The fourth is to be diligent: the good that has not been born will rise, and the good that has been born will grow; If no evil is born, no evil will be born. Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. You can't slack off in life. Sloth is an obstacle to practice.

（7） Mindfulness

"Mindfulness" also means meaning. It is a pure idea, that is, there is no evil idea, and the idea is right. The Legacy Sutra says: "If you have a strong mind, you will not be harmed even if you are among the five evil thieves. For example, if you enter the array with armor, you will not be afraid." Therefore, people who study Buddhism should not put their thoughts on the merits of others, gains and losses, money, fame and interests, and emotional desire. They should always be mindful.

The content of mindfulness is the four parts of mindfulness, namely:

Unclean view of the body: ordinary people often have persistent delusions because of their love for their beauty and health. In fact, our bodies are full of filth such as feces and saliva, which can be said to be a collection of filth. Why is it lovely? The Buddha taught us to "view the body uncleanly" to break our attachment to the body, and then use false practice to prove the immortal Dharma body.

Seeing is suffering: all kinds of pain and happiness in the world are suffering, because life is full of all kinds of pain, sickness and death. Even if there is happiness occasionally, it will disappear because of the changes of time and space.

Observing mind impermanence: Our mind is constantly changing from heaven to hell, from good to bad, from good to evil, from birth to death, like an ape, so we can say that mind impermanence.

The Vajra Sutra says: "All things have their own way, like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be observed as such." Everything in the world will eventually disintegrate and become corrupted. Nothing has its own nature and can be independent. Only by understanding that "there is no self in observing the Dharma" can you find your true Dharma nature from the five desires and dust.

Zhuge Changqing: The Four Minds is a warning light for the improvement of practice, reminding yourself at any time.

We always put our heart above impermanence, bitterness and selflessness, so that we will not be greedy for petty gains in the world, but will be able to brave the way.

（8） Positive definite

"Zhengding" is to concentrate the will and spirit with correct meditation, absorb the scattered body and mind, and cultivate a perfect personality. The real meditation is not in the form of meditation, but in the development of inner energy. Proper meditation should be:

Healthy meditation: can make the body healthy.

Peace of mind meditation: It can make the mind focus on one situation and get light peace.

Enlightened meditation: It can make the mind open suddenly and realize from obsession.

Meditation of seeing nature: It can make Buddha's nature open and reveal, and find the true self.

3、 The importance of the Eightfold Path

Zhuge Changqing: Amitabha. Everyone should reflect on themselves, whether they have achieved the Eightfold Path? Is there anything that needs to be modified? Such thinking will make a rapid leap.

The Great Vajraya Sutra said, "From the right to see, from the right to think; from the right to think, from the right to speak; from the right to speak, from the right to work; from the right to work, from the right to work; from the right to work, from the right to work, from the right to work; from the right to work, from the right to work, from the right to work; from the right to work, from the right to work."

A person can make correct thinking and judgment on right and wrong, good and evil, and true and false only when he has right knowledge and right view. Only when he is exposed to his body, mouth and mind can he have correct behavior. Only then can he work hard towards the correct goal, cultivate good thoughts, wisdom and life, and live in a quiet meditation without leakage.

Therefore, the Eight Rights are one, and the practice of any one of them will surely make the other seven achievements at the same time. In the Eightfold Path, Zhengjian is the first. Just seeing is wisdom, and is the teacher of practice, just as traveling requires eyes and sailing requires compass. It is also like a camera. When taking pictures, you must adjust the aperture, distance and speed so that the picture can be clear and beautiful, and the developed pictures will not change; Buddhists must have correct knowledge and correct vision to see the truth of the universe and life, without causing wrong or paranoid thoughts and behaviors. Volume 28 of the "Zaha Hanjing" said, "If there is a world in which the positive view increases, even if it lasts for hundreds of thousands of lives, it will not degenerate." From this, we can see the importance of the positive view, and the importance of the eight positive paths is self-evident.

阿弥陀佛。学佛路上，要用八正道助手帮助自己、推动自己。

---- 诸葛长青

   南无本师释迦牟尼佛。

   南无阿弥陀佛。

   福生无量天尊。

   学佛修行路上，如何不出偏差？诸葛长青认为，有八个助手十分重要。

   这八个助手就是佛家八正道，八正道，亦称八支正道、八支圣道或八圣道。意谓达到佛教最高理想境地（涅盘）的八种方法和途径。 

   学佛修行“八正道”助手是什么？ 

     正见：正当的见解。
   正思：正当的思想。
   正语：正当的语言。
   正业：正当的行为。
   正命：正当的生活。
   正勤：正当的努力。
   正念：正当的意念。
   正定：正当的禅定。

   一、八正道的定义

   诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。八正道，是修行路上的八个助手，非常关键、非常重要。有了八正道，你修行路上就不会迷路了。
  “苦”是人生的实相，如何离苦得乐，求得究竟的解脱，是我们学佛的目的所在。佛陀成道之初，为了让众生从烦恼痛苦中解脱出来，特别开示了八条进趣圣人之境的修行方法，称为八正道。
  “正”，脱离邪非，故名为正；“道”，能通的意思，以能通达涅盘的境地，故名为道。循此八正道，可使众生苦集烦恼永断，证得涅盘的圣贤境界，因此又称为八圣道。

  八正道如同船筏，可使众生从迷界的此岸渡到悟界的彼岸，因此又称为八道船、八筏。 

   诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。有了八正道，你就不会迷路。
    简单的说，八正道是八条通往成佛大道的实践法门，是脱离烦恼痛苦的方法，是佛子正确的修行之道，奉行八正道可以完成学佛的目的。所以，做一个佛教徒，应该要了解八正道的意义。
   二、八正道的内容 

   诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。八正道，是佛祖释迦牟尼佛送给学佛修行人的八个法宝，有了这八个法宝们就会走在正确道路上。    

   八正道是佛陀成道时，初转法轮所说；此后，直至涅盘时，又增说四念处、四正勤、四如意足、五根、五力、七菩提分等，共成三十七道品，是四圣谛中“道谛”的内容。八正道与三十七道品，仅是详略之分，其意义并无差别。三十七道品中，以八正道最能代表佛教的实践法门，因此一般以八正道为道谛的内容意义。八正道即：
 正见：正当的见解。
 正思：正当的思想。
 正语：正当的语言。
 正业：正当的行为。
 正命：正当的生活。
 正勤：正当的努力。
 正念：正当的意念。
 正定：正当的禅定。
  （一）正见
 “正见”，就是正确的见解、正确的观念。一个观念，往往可以改变一个人的一生；学佛修行就是要修正过去不好的习性，改往修来，所以正确的观念、见解更形重要。在佛教的经典中，对“正见”有诸多的诠释，《胜鬘经》说：非颠倒见，是名正见。《华严经》说：正见牢固，离诸妄见。《大智度论》说：正见是智慧。《法界次第门》说：若修无漏十六行，见四谛分明，是名正见。
   综合诸经所说，正见就是离诸颠倒邪见的正观；是如实了知世间与出世间因果的智慧；是透过三法印、四圣谛、十二因缘等佛教的教理来观察宇宙万象而获得的正确见解。就广义而言，凡是佛教所认可的道理，都属于正见。
   因此，学佛的人应该有以下的正见：
   正见因缘果报：世间万法都是由因缘所生起，因缘和合才有一切现象，现象就是“果”报。果报来自因与缘的结合，有因有缘，必然有果，正如播了种（因），只要条件（缘）俱足，必然会开花结果。我们每个人的一生，都是靠各种因缘的和合而成就，因此，种好因好缘，自然会有好的结果；反之，植下恶因恶缘，必然会有恶的果报。我们能正见因缘果报，才能明因识果，由迷入悟。诸葛长青：因果报应丝毫不爽，必须慎重啊。
   正见善恶业力：业是造作的意思。也就是指行为、所作、行动、作用、意志等身心活动。我们每天的行为造作，汇聚成一股极大的力量，决定一生的幸与不幸。业来自身行、口说、意想，业有善有恶，善恶业力，决定不失，所谓：“假使百千劫，所作业不亡；因缘会遇时，果报还自受。”又说：“善有善报，恶有恶报；不是不报，时候未到。”一般人常因“好人受苦、坏人享乐”，因而对善恶因果产生怀疑，其实善恶因果不能只看眼前，有时好人受苦、坏人享乐，这是由于个人前世所造的业因而获得今生的果报。我们能够正见善恶业力，才能谨言慎行，免受恶报。诸葛长青：善有善报、诸恶莫作、众善奉行，这是人生必备的根本。 
   正见无常苦空：诸法是由因缘和合所生，没有自主性、独存性，随着缘聚缘散而生灭变异，所以说一切法“无常”。因为“无常”，所以好的有可能会变坏，坏的也有可能会变好，在不断的生灭变化中，我们感受到人生充满了苦苦、坏苦、行苦等各种的苦，故说“苦空无常”。正见“苦空无常”，可以使我们处顺境时，不耽溺乐事；处逆境时，不悲观消极。因为一切都会改变，而无常苦空将带给我们希望，激励我们精进，引领我们超凡入圣。诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。要平常心看待生活一切，看到人生一切。
   正见佛道永恒：我们常说“人生无常”，虽然人生的实相是“无常苦空”，但是在无常苦空中有一个“常乐我净”的涅盘世界。当初佛陀在菩提树下悟道，成就正等正觉，这个正等正觉就是涅盘，也就是泯除人我关系的对立，超越时空的障碍，而证悟生命永恒无限的境界，那就是我们每个人本自具足的真如佛性，真实自我。我们学佛修行，就是希望求得这样一个美好圆满的涅盘境界。因为人的生命，在时间上只不过是短短数十年岁月，白云苍狗，无非梦境；在空间上也不过是七尺肉身之躯，“大厦千间，夜眠不过八尺；良田万顷，日食不过几斛”，面对这样有限的生命，如果我们能证悟涅盘，即是突破时空的藩篱，将生命遍布于一切空间，充满于一切时间，可以超越死亡和无常的恐惧，在无限辽阔的时空中生生不息。因此正见佛道永恒，就不会产生拨无因果的断见，进而修善止恶，终而达于涅盘的境地。诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛，有限的生命，要做有意义的事情啊。 
  （二）正思
  “正思”，又作正志、正思惟、正分别、正觉，或谛念。就是正确的意志、决心、思量、分别。《瑜伽师地论》说：“由正见增上力故，所起的无瞋恚、无害想，是为正思惟。”因此，正思惟也就是不贪欲、不瞋恚、不愚痴，远离邪妄贪欲，作真理智慧的思量分别。
  贪、瞋、痴三毒，经常羁绊着我们，使我们无法迈向求道的路；贪、瞋、痴三毒，时刻盘据在我们的心灵，染污我们清净的本性。我们想远离这三种毒害，必须以坚韧的力量，长时忆念正法，具足柔软、慈悲、清净、无恚心，使我们的思惟时时和正法相应，三毒才能去除，趋入佛道。

   诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。贪嗔痴是人生三毒，必须去除掉。 
  （三）正语
  “正语”，就是善良的口业，也就是十善业中的不妄语、不两舌、不恶口、不绮语，即远离一切不慎之语、诽谤之语、傲慢之语、辱骂之语、刻薄之语、花言巧语和虚妄不实之语。因此，正语又作正言、谛语。正语必然是合乎道理的话，所以又称顺理语，如佛陀说法皆为真实语、如实语、不异语、不欺诳语，这就是正语。
  正语的内容有四：
  真实语：真实不虚，无欺诳的话。
  慈悲语：慈悲柔和，令人生起信心的话。
  称赞语：赞叹别人，令人欢喜的话。
  利行语：帮助别人，有利于人的话。
  （四）正业
   正业，又作正行、谛行。指正当的身业。即行为举止正当，身、口、意三业清净，远离杀生、不与取、邪淫等一切邪妄。也就是十善业中的不杀生、不偷盗、不淫泆等。但这仅是消极的不做恶业，正业的积极意义应是“护生”、“慈悲”、“布施”等。
  此外，据《瑜伽师地论》卷二十九：“或于住时，于已追求衣服等事，若行若住，若坐若卧，广说乃至若解劳睡正知而住，是名正业。”因此，平常有规律的生活习惯，也是正业。譬如适当的睡眠、饮食、运动、休息、工作，不但能增进个人健康，提高工作效率，也是家庭美满，社会安定的主要因素。
  （五）正命
   “正命”，就是正当的经济生活和谋生方式。据《瑜伽师地论》卷二十九：“如法追求衣服、饮食，乃至什物，远离一切起邪命法，是名正命。”正常的经济生活是非常重要的，因为大部分的罪恶，都是从经济生活的不正常而来。譬如开设赌场、酒家、屠宰场，经营贩卖杀生用的钓鱼具、猎枪等商店，都不是正命。
 正当的生活应该是 ： 合理的经济生活、高尚的道德生活、和谐的社会生活
 净化的感情生活。
  （六）正勤
 “正勤”，又作正精进、正方便、正治、谛法、谛治。就是朝真理的目标勇猛迈进。经云：“在家懒惰、失于俗利；出家懈怠，丧于法宝。”《正法念处经》卷四十三说：懈怠是一切恶道的根本，是生死的种子，世间的一切苦恼都由此而生。欲断生死缚者，应该精进，舍离懈怠。
  精是不杂，进是不退，也就是努力为善，努力断恶。《大智度论》中以四正勤为精进的目标。四正勤就是：未生善令生起，已生善令增长；未生恶令不生，已生恶令断除。诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。人生不能懈怠自己，懈怠是修行的障碍。
  （七）正念
 “正念”，又作谛意。就是清净的意念，即不生邪念，意念正道。《遗教经》说：“若念力坚强，虽入五欲贼中，不为所害，譬如着铠入阵，则无所畏。”所以学佛的人不要把念头放在人我是非、得失成败、金钱名利、感情欲望之上，应该时时心存正念。
   正念的内容就是四念处，即：
   观身不净：一般人常因贪爱自身的美丽、健康，而产生执着妄想，事实上，我们的身体内充满了粪尿、涕唾等秽物，可以说是众秽所集，何来可爱之处？佛陀教我们“观身不净”，是要破除我们对身体的执爱，进而借假修真，以证得永恒不死的法身。
   观受是苦：世间的种种苦乐感受都是苦，因为人生充满了生老病死各种苦，纵使偶有快乐，却因世间万法变幻无常，迁流不息，快乐也会因时空的变化而消逝，因此说观受是苦。
   观心无常：我们的心念分分秒秒忽而天堂，忽而地狱，时好时坏，时善时恶，时生时灭，如猿猴般，念念无定，所以说观心无常。
   观法无我：《金刚经》说：“一切有为法，如梦幻泡影，如露亦如电，应做如是观。”世间万物终会散灭败坏，没有一样东西是有自性，能自主的。懂得“观法无我”，才能从五欲尘劳中，找回自己的真如法性。 
   诸葛长青：四念处，是修行精进的警示灯，随时提醒自己。

    我们把心时时放在无常、苦、无我之上，对世间的锱铢小利就不会贪恋，而能够勇猛向道。
  （八）正定
 “正定”，是以正确的禅定集中意志和精神，而收摄散乱的身心，培养完美的人格。真正的禅定，不在于形式上的打坐，而是在于内心能源的开展。 正当的禅定应该是：
  健康的禅定：能令身体获得健康。
  安心的禅定：能令心意专注一境，而得轻安。
  开悟的禅定：能令思想豁然开通，由迷入悟。
  见性的禅定：能令佛性开显，寻回真实自我。
    三、八正道的重要 

     诸葛长青：阿弥陀佛。每个人都要反思自己，是否做到了八正道？是否有需要修改的地方？如此思考精进，自会迅速飞跃。
  《大毘婆娑论》说：“由正见故，起正思惟；由正思惟故，得正语；由正语故，复得正业；由正业故，复得正命；由正命故，发起正勤；由正勤故，便起正念；由正念故，能起正定。”

   一个人有了正知正见，对于是非、善恶、真伪才能做正确的思惟判断，发诸于身口意才有正确的行为，才能向正确的目标努力精进，长养善念慧命，安住清净无漏的禅定中。

   所以，八正道是一体的，其中任何一项的实践，必然使其余七项伴随同时圆满成就。八正道中，正见居首。正见就是明慧，是修行的导师，如行路需要眼目，航海需要罗盘一样。正见又像一部照相机，拍照时必须调好光圈、距离、速度，画面才能清晰美丽，洗出来的照片也才不会走了样；学佛的人，必须具备正知正见，才能看清宇宙人生的真相，而不致于产生错误或偏执的思想、行为。《杂阿含经》卷廿八说：“假使有世间，正见增上者，虽复百千生，终不堕恶趣。”由此可知正见的重要，而八正道的重要性也不言而喻。
