“Sariputra, if there are people who have already made the vow, who now make the vow, or who are about to make the vow, ‘I desire to be born in Amitabha’s country,’ these people, whether born in the past, now being born, or to be born in the future, all will irreversibly attain to anuttarasamyaksambodhi. Therefore, Sariputra, all good men and good women, if they are among those who have faith, should make the vow, ‘I will be born in that country.’”

~ Amitabha Sutra

When I obtain the Buddhahood, any being of the boundless and inconceivable Buddha-worlds of the ten quarters whose body if be touched by the rays of my splendour should not make his body and mind gentle and peaceful, in such a state that he is far more sublime than the gods and men, then may I not attain the enlightenment.

顺治皇帝赞僧诗

下载诗歌

天下丛林饭似山,钵盂倒处任君餐。
黄金白玉非为贵,惟有袈裟披身难。
朕为大地山河主,忧国忧民事转烦。
百年三万六千日,不及僧家半日闲。
来时糊涂去时迷,空在人间走一回。
未曾生我谁是我?生我之时我是谁?
长大成人方是我,合眼朦胧又是谁。
悲欢离合多劳虑,一日清闲有谁知?
世间难比出家人,无牵无挂得安宜。
口中吃得清和味,身上常穿百衲衣。
五湖四海为上客,皆因宿世种菩提。
个个都是真罗汉,披搭如来三种衣。
金乌玉兔东复西,为人切莫用心计。
百年世事三更梦,万里乾坤一局棋。
禹开九州汤放桀,秦吞六国汉登基。
古今多少英雄汉,南北山头卧土泥。
黄袍换却紫袈裟,只为当年一念差。
我本西方一衲子,因何生在帝王家?
十八年来不自由,南征北讨几时休?
我今撤手西方去,谁管千秋与万秋。

【註】
身膺宰輔與朝廊 蓋世功名世莫量
自性彌陀如不念 未知何以敵無常

清世祖順治皇帝在位十八年,為清朝二百六十八年的基業打下了深厚的根基。
順治皇帝擅長詩詞書畫,崇仰佛道,先後曾經延請憨璞性聰、玉琳通琇、天童等三位高僧入京說法。
順治皇帝不僅將『金鑾殿』改為『萬善殿』,作為禪師說法的法堂,尊奉玉琳通琇為國師,
又在宮中設置『皇壇』,也就是今日的戒壇,遴選一千五百位僧眾,並傳授菩薩大戒。
順治皇帝一心慕道,幾次有絕塵離俗之意,終被勸止,而於在位第十八年,寫下了這首名垂千古的《讚僧詩》,
以銘其心志。如詩云『百年世事三更夢,萬里乾坤一局棋』、『古來多少英雄漢,南北山頭臥土泥』,不僅抒發胸臆,也警醒世人。
順治皇帝位居九五之尊,統領天下,猶有『黃金白玉非為貴,唯有袈裟披肩難』之嘆,況我輩凡俗,
倘碌碌於衣食,不肯把握善緣,精進修持,當真是『空在佛門走一回』了!
