通達菩提心 父母所生身 速證大覺位
生命中，六大、四曼、三密，是人人本來具足的。頌云：
六大無礙常瑜伽（體）
四種曼荼各不離（相）
三密加持速疾顯（用）
重重帝網名即身（無礙）
法然具足薩般若…心數心王過剎塵…
各具五智無際智…圓鏡遍照覺智成（成佛）。
此頌句，表無盡秘密莊嚴藏，開展無盡秘密莊嚴藏曼荼羅，「…示現如來智慧德相…」。
六大無礙常瑜伽（體）
地、水、火、風、空、識六大，乃宇宙萬有的基本性質。不論一切人類、一切萬物情與非情皆具備的。故云：六大無礙周遍法界。
因地大是堅固性，如吾人之骨，頭髮、指甲等亦屬地大。又人類之我執重，不易去除，也是地大的一種展現。
水大是溼潤性，火大是溫熱性，風大是流動性，空大是無質礙性，識大是分別性。
例如：體有溫度屬火大，血液、唾液等屬水大，人有呼吸屬風大，人能分別計度的意識作用屬識大，人能在空閒活動，上下四維屬空大。
而此六大在所有一切的身上「…皆是平等的」，有互相涉入「…自在無礙的性質」，故其體性是周遍法界「圓融無礙」。是云：六大無礙常瑜伽。
四種曼荼各不離（相）
四曼是四種曼荼羅：大曼荼羅、法曼荼羅、三昧耶曼荼羅、羯磨曼荼羅等。
簡要言之：大曼茶羅即吾人全體。法曼荼羅是音聲，語言、文字也。三昧耶曼荼羅即標誌…等。羯磨曼荼羅乃是人之一切行為、動作也。此四種曼荼羅為人人所必備。
行者把它們都納入生命之中，長養法曼荼羅，就像人須吃飯睡覺以維繫生命般。以佛妙法音來滋養我們的法身慧命，以善行事業以利群生，故有羯磨事業作大佛事，利益一切有情。
三昧耶曼荼羅有平等、本誓、除障、警覺等四義。
平等義，指一切眾生與如來自性平等無二。行者修法除障時，依於本身願力及如來本誓願力加持，若能契入三昧耶，則可破除心中的障礙，顯現自性本具的佛智。
警覺者，則若能受持本尊的本誓願力，本誓，乃三昧耶四義中根本要義，即諸佛菩薩依其因地發願修行，成就後，依然本著其誓顯行菩薩道。行者有所警覺體悟，而能驚覺自性之不生不滅、不垢不淨，頓開佛慧。
是以凡夫若能依諸佛之三昧耶修行，亦能得諸佛菩薩誓願力之加持而得入佛性。
三密加持速疾顯（用）
三密，即身、口、意三也。三密，在眾生則言三業。凡夫因迷惑無知，而造下無量無邊的罪業。由迷起惑而造業，最後感得苦果，煩惱無邊無際，故云眾生之身、口、意，是為三業。
佛是已覺悟的如來，能起無量無邊的三密妙用，且以其三密來開展眾生的三業，能令眾生契人自性，證悟自性菩提。故佛以其三密轉眾生三業，令疾速開展本有佛性，顯得秘密莊嚴藏。
重重帝網名即身（無礙）
佛之三密與眾生三業，唯只差在一念間。一念悟即佛，一念迷即眾生，眾生若能覺悟自性，起妙觀察智用，行三密行，身結手印，口誦真言，憶念觀想本尊功德性海。則眾生當下，亦可成為佛，行羯磨事業大作佛事利生，自他兩益也。
故云：三密加持速疾顯，一心能覺自性，即是出纏如來；一心仍有所迷惑，即在纏之眾生。
故最上乘論云：「識心故悟，失性故迷，但信真諦，守自本心。」 維摩經云：「無自性，無他性，法本無生，今即無滅。」 金剛經云： 「一切有為法，如夢幻泡影，如露亦如電，應作如是觀。」
星月可處地
山石可飛空
大海可令枯
佛語誠無妄
感恩諸位大德…… 舒心分享… 祝六時恆吉祥！
有因緣再分享， …謝謝。

IF PEOPLE ASK FOR BUDDHA WISDOM
Master the Bodhi mind. The body born from parents should confirm the position of the great realization quickly.
Everyone is born and replete with the Six Major Elements, Four Mandalas, and Three Secrets.
A eulogy goes:
The Six Major Elements are perfect and without hindrance–essence.
The Four Mandalas are linked to each other–form.
The Three Secrets give reinforcement and the Buddha nature will manifest soon–application.
Layers of king nets make one attain Buddhahood immediately–no hindrance.
Dharmas naturally are replete with bodhisattva wisdom.
The mind dharmas and the host of the mind cross boundless realms.
Each possesses the Five Wisdoms and Boundless Wisdom.
The perfect mirror illuminates universally and the perception wisdom will be attained–attaining Buddhahood.
This eulogy indicates the endless, secret and solemn treasures, opens up the endless, secret and solemn Mandalas, and manifests the wisdom and virtue form of the Tathagata.
The Six Major Elements are perfect and without hindrance–essence:
The Six Major Elements (earth, water, fire, wind, void, consciousness) are the basic elements in everything in the universe. All humans and everything, including sentient and non-sentient beings, possess them. So we say that the Six Major Elements are everywhere in the dharma realm.
Earth is firm. People’s bones, hair and nails belong to this kind. Also, people have a strong self-adherence that is not easy to get rid of. This is also a manifestation of earth.
Water has the characteristic of moisturizing.
Fire has the characteristic of warming.
Wind has the characteristic of flowing.
Void has the characteristic of no hindrance.
Consciousness has the characteristic of differentiation.
The body is warm, so it belongs to Fire. Blood and saliva belong to Water. Our breath belongs to Wind. Our awareness that can count and measure belongs to Consciousness. The four dimensional space for us to move about belongs to Void.
These Six Major Elements involve each other, and are equal, unrestrained and without hindrance. So they extend everywhere in the dharma realm and are perfect and without hindrance.
The Four Mandalas are linked to each other—form:
The Four Mandalas include Great Mandala, Dharma Mandala, Samaya Mandala and Karma Mandala. In short, Great Mandala is our whole body. Dharma Mandala is voice, language and script. Samaya Mandala is marks. Karma Mandala is all of our behaviors and actions. Everyone has all these four mandalas.
Practitioners bring them into their life. To nourish Dharma Mandala is like our eating and sleeping that help to sustain life. We nourish our dharma body and wisdom life with Buddhas’ wondrous dharma voices and benefit living beings with kind deeds. So there’s karma business to benefit sentient beings.
Samaya Mandala has four meanings: equality, original vows, eradicating obstacles, and alert. Equality means that all sentient beings’ innate nature is the same as that of Tathagatas. When practitioners are cultivating dharma to sever obstacles, they will be able to sever obstacles and manifest their innate Buddha wisdom if they can rely on their own vows and the reinforcement of Tathagatas’ vows.
As for alert, if practitioners can accept and abide by their original vows, stay alert and realize that the self-nature is without arising and extinction, and without taint and purity, then they’ll attain Buddha wisdom immediately. The original vows are fundamental significance of the four meanings of the samaya. All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas vow to cultivate on the causal ground. After they have made achievements, they still walk the bodhisattva path based on their vows.
Hence, if ordinary people can cultivate by following the Buddhas’ samaya, they still can enter the Buddha nature with the reinforcement of the Buddhas’ and Bodhisattvas’ vows.
The Three Secrets give reinforcement and the Buddha nature will manifest soon—application:
The Three Secrets refers to body, speech and thought. In sentient beings it refers to three karmas. Due to delusion and ignorance, ordinary people make boundless bad Karmas, perceive the bitter results and endless afflictions in the end. So we say that the body, speech and thought of sentient beings are the three karmas.
Buddhas are enlightened Tathagatas who can start the wondrous application of the Three Secrets to open up the three karmas of sentient beings and bring them into their self-nature so that they can confirm and realize the bodhi of their self-nature. Therefore, Buddhas use their Three Secrets to transform sentient beings ‘ three karmas and open up their innate Buddha nature quickly. In this way, the secret, solemn treasure manifests.
Layers of king nets make one attain Buddhahood immediately–no hindrance:
Just a flash of mind can make a difference between the Buddhas’ Three Secrets and the sentient beings’ three karmas.
One will become a Buddha with an enlightened thought, and will become an ordinary person with a deluded thought. If an ordinary person can realize the self-nature, start a wondrous observation wisdom, practice the Three Secrets, make a mudra, recite the mantra, remember and visualize the merit sea of the original being, then he can attain Buddhahood immediately and do the karma undertakings business to benefit himself and others as well.
So we say that The Three Secrets give reinforcement and the Buddha nature will manifest soon. One who can realize the self-nature in one thought is a Tathagata out of tangle; one who still gets deluded in one thought is an ordinary person in tangle.
So the Treatise of Highest Creed says, “One gets enlightened because he understands the mind. One gets deluded because he loses his nature. One should believe in truth and abide by his original mind.”
Vimalakīrti-Nirdeśa-Sūtra goes, “There’s neither self-nature nor other-nature. Dharma has no arising, so there’s no extinction now.”
The Diamond Sutra goes, “All the Saṃskṛta dharmas are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows as well as dew and fire-flag, so we should regard them as such.”
Stars and the moon may stay on the ground.
Mountains and rocks can fly in the sky.
The sea can be dried.
Buddha speeches are sincere and true.
Let’s share this with gratitude. Auspiciousness to all.
