妄念是把双刃剑▏​Delusionis a double-edged sword

通常，我们大家在禅修中会比较排斥妄念。其实从某种角度来说，妄念不是不好，如果没有妄念和植物人有什么区别。我们转生为人，闻思修行佛法，正因为有妄念才能有殊胜的因缘去了知正确的道并进行修持。我们可以从妄中生悔，从妄中生智，所以妄念不一定是坏，只是看我们如何用它。如果我们陷入其中，则轮回相应而生。如果由妄生智则是解脱的桥梁。 妄念是把双刃剑，用不好伤害自他，用好了，斩断轮回。关键是当下的念你如何去把控，去转变。这就是转识成智，也是一切法的精要。时时刻刻内观自心，将这把剑真正用在对的地方，你就是最上等的行者，菩提果将在不远处获得。

Delusionis a double-edged sword

Usually, we try to purge our delusion during meditation. However, from a certain point of view, delusion is not so bad. If delusion doesn’t exist, there will be no difference between people and vegetate. As human beings, It’s delusion that enable us to hear, contemplate and practice Buddha Dharma. Delusion is one of the auspicious conditions via which we are able to receive the right Dharma methods and practice to achieve exceptional achievements. It is from delusion that we are able to repent our estray and wisdom arises. So, delusion is not necessarily a bad thing. It depends on how we use it. If we are trapped in it, samsara forms will rise accordingly. But in the opposite way is a bridge to liberation.

Delusion is a double-edged sword. Handled incorrectly, it may hurt both ends. Wisely used, it also cuts off samsara. The key is to transform your current thoughts, from knowledge of Dharma to wisdom and that’s the essence of all Dharma practices. Inspecting your mind time from time and use this sword rightly, you are a top practitioner and will be sure to approach Buddhahood in the vicinity.
