如果我們學習證者龍樹的《智慧》
最近我們一直在做藥師佛修行
特別因為新冠病毒的關係
我想那真的會很酷
如果我們結合龍樹菩薩的《智慧》
和藥師佛的修行
我個人真心覺得，若你不明白
藥師佛修行的空性
藥師佛自身的空性
藥師佛咒語的空性
那麽那些修行的效果就不大
它會起作用一點
咒語會有點作用
以及所有不同的法門，譬如冥想、靜修
拯救動物的生命
這些都是極具力量的做為
但倘若你真的了解修行的空性
若你真的了解拯救某人生命的空性
或你明白持咒的空性
那麼在我看來
這些修行的效果可上乘千倍
所以我們要一起
研習龍樹菩薩的《智慧》
然後時不時地將它與藥師佛的修行連結
就像在充電器中加裝了一枚引擎
額外的推進器，像一枚火箭
讓你的藥師佛修行更上一層樓
我計劃五年內講完《智慧》文本27章
這大概是在眾多精彩的評論之中
最偉大的一部評論
由月稱、佛護、清辯
幾位極偉大的古代印度評論家所著
接著是宗喀巴大師
繼證者龍樹菩薩1200年之後
他寫了一本書叫《龍樹中觀根本慧論廣釋之正理海》
《空性之海》
這是一部針對27首偈頌極為出色的註釋
就連宗喀巴大師寫的書也很難懂
在那之後丘尼喇嘛
大約在宗喀巴大師之後兩三百年
他寫了一本有趣的書，名叫
《一艘可以穿越空性之海的船》
這表示，連宗喀巴大師寫的評論
都太難懂了。
我們需要丘尼喇嘛給我們一艘船
才不會在宗喀巴大師的書中被淹沒
所以我們即將要研讀丘尼喇嘛的注解
我會採用那套
課程進行期間，我會邊翻譯邊上課
這相當困難
這些偈頌非常非常地難
沒有丘尼喇嘛，我認為我們無法
正確理解龍樹菩薩寫的東西
那我們就開始了
--------------------
if we studied Arya Nagarjuna's "Wisdom".
And recently we've been doing Medicine Buddha practices,
especially because of the virus,
and I thought it would be really, really cool
if we connected Arya Nagarjuna's "Wisdom"
and the practice of Medicine Buddha.
I personally feel strongly that if you don't understand
the emptiness of the Medicine Buddha practice,
the emptiness of the Medicine Buddha himself,
and the emptiness of the mantra of the Medicine Buddha,
then I don't think it will work so strong.
It will work a little bit.
The mantras will work a little bit
and all the different practices like meditation, retreat,
saving the lives of animals,
these are all powerful practices.
But if you really understand the emptiness
of these practices, if you understand the emptiness
of saving someone's life, or you understand the emptiness
of speaking of a mantra, then in my opinion,
the practice is a thousand times more powerful.
So we're going to go
through Nagarjuna's "Wisdom" together.
Then from time to time, we'll try to connect it
to the Medicine Buddha practice and supercharge,
put an engine, extra booster,
rocket booster on your Medicine Buddha practice.
My plan was to go through the "Wisdom" text, 27 chapters,
in five years, probably the greatest commentary
of many, many great commentaries, for example,
by Chandrakirti, Buddhapalita, Bhavaviveka,
these great, great ancient Indian commentaries.
And then Tsongkapa came along, I don't know,
1,200 years after Arya Nargajuna
and he wrote a book called "The Sea of Emptiness,"
"The Ocean of Emptiness."
And that's a great, great commentary on the 27 verses.
And then even Tsongkapa is very difficult.
After that Choney Lama Drakpa Shedrup
about 200, 300 years after Tsongkapa,
he wrote a funny book called,
"A Ship to Travel Across the Sea of Emptiness".
It means Tsongkapa's, even Tsongkapa's commentary's
too difficult.
And we need like, Choney Lama gives us a boat,
so we don't drown in Tsongkapa's book.
So we're going to be going through
Choney Lama's explanation. I'll be using that.
And I'm translating it as we go.
It's very difficult.
The verses are very, very difficult.
Without Choney Lama I don't think we could
understand Nagarjuna correctly.
And so here we go.
