大觀園……大花園……誰識得園丁。
眾裡尋 覓歸路 何處是吾家。
諸佛子，如何是法身？有多種法身？
法身有：實相法身、功德法身、法性法身、
應化法身、虛空法身。
何謂是實相法身？ 知心不壞。
何謂是功德法身？ 心含萬象。
何謂是法性法身？ 知心無心。
何謂是應化法身？ 隨根應說。
何謂是虛空法身？ 知心無形。
雖分五種、本源是一。
諸佛子，又有名五分法身：
戒法身：身口意三業清淨、離一切過非故。
定法身：真心寂靜、離一切妄念故。
慧法身：真智圓明觀達法性故。
解脫法身：身心解脫一切繫縛故。
解脫知見法身：知己實解脫故。
真心湛然照非從境
含虛任緣未嘗作意
明明不昧了了常知
舒之無蹤卷之無跡
如澄潭沃野 似明鏡懸空。
萬象森羅豁然虛鐾，不出不入、非有非無、斯則萬聖冥歸諸佛常住、亦名天真佛性、亦名清淨法身。
如來妙體遍河沙
萬象森羅不障遮
會得圓通真法眼
始知法界是吾家
簡易小品文分享 吉祥
釋圓通 合十

My Home—Seeking the Way Back
In the grand garden, who knows the gardener?
I am seeking the way back in the crowd. Where is my home?
Buddhist disciples, what is the dharma body? How many kinds of dharma body are there? There are real form dharma body, merit dharma body, dharma nature dharma body, manifestation dharma body, and void dharma body.
- What is the real form dharma body? It’s the body in which the mind to understand does not spoil.
- What is the merit dharma body? It’s the body in which the mind contains all phenomena.
- What is the dharma nature dharma body? It’s the body in which the mind to understand is empty.
- What is the manifestation dharma body? It’s the body that lectures according to different capabilities of the hearers.
- What is the void dharma body? It’s the body in which the mind is formless.
Although the dharma body is divided into five categories, they are of only one origin.
Buddhist disciples, there are another five categories of the dharma body:
- The precept dharma body: The body, speech, and mind are pure and are away from all faults.
- The stability dharma body: The real mind is silent and is away from all false thoughts.
- The wisdom dharma body: The real wisdom is perfect and bright, and can see and penetrate the dharma nature.
- The liberated dharma body: Both the body and the mind are liberated from all restraints.
- The liberated view dharma body: One knows that he has been liberated.
The real mind clearly reflects the non-complying situation.
I absorb emptiness, and let affinities take their course, and never give rise to a thought.
Everything is clear without being concealed and is often clearly realized.
Whether unfolded or folded, it is always without a trace.
It’s like a clear pond or a fertile land, and is also like a clear mirror hanging in the sky.
All phenomena are connected together, but with a flash of understanding one will realize that they are empty. There is neither exiting nor entering, and there is neither existence nor non-existence. So all saints will return to the Buddha nature, which is also called the genuine Buddha nature or pure dharma body.
The wondrous body of the Tathagata is everywhere in the river sand.
All phenomena are connected together without being covered up.
Not until I attain the real dharma eye of perfection and penetration
Will I know that the dharma realm is my home.
Let’s share this short text. Auspiciousness to you all.
Shih Yuantong,
Palms together.
