每日增加憶念上師的次數

為何在修大手印之前,一定要先修上師相應法?在我們獲 得證量之前,為了獲得了證,最首要且最重要的,便是要 培養對上師的虔敬;這種無造作的虔敬,來自了悟到上師 的正念與自身的正念是無二無別的。唯有在了悟自己的心 與上師的心為一體之後,上師的加持才會進入心中。有些 人已然認出這個正念,有些人則尚未,而當我們憶念自己 對根本上師的虔敬時,透過這份虔敬,便能認識到自己的 正念與上師的正念其實是一體的。因此,最重要的是觀修 虔敬。

從修持的角度來看,正念的精要是空性,其本質是明性, 但若你試著找尋,卻遍尋不著。這個正念的本質與上師的 正念本質是相同的,如果你對根本上師有著不變的信心與 虔敬,則上師的身相就會出現在心中,此時你將記得上師的教誨。就有如,一般來說,當你愛著某人的時候,你會 無法忘懷對方,對方也總是出現在心中那樣。同樣的,上師將出現在你的心中,而每當上師出現時,你將記起上師 的教誨。

認知到這份正念即為上師的正念,或以大圓滿的詞彙來 說,以正念覺知憶念上師,這對初學者來說,是比較容易 的修持方法。所以,這份覺知或正念,就代表著上師。

此外,你可以每天都立誓要憶念上師,例如:「我今天要 憶念上師十次」,然後隔天增加為十五次,又過隔天為 二十次。如此逐漸增加憶念上師的次數,最後你的心將與 上師真實同在。如果缺乏正念,上師便不會於心中生起。這是極為殊勝的教授。

Why is it that we must practice Mahamudra following the guru yoga practice? Before we have gained realization, in order to gain realization, we must first and foremost cultivate devotion to the guru - uncontrived devotion -realizing that the mindfulness of the guru and my own mindfulness are an inseparable union. Only through realizing that our own mind and the mind of the guru are a union will the blessings of the guru enter our mind. Some recognize this mindfulness, some do not recognize this mindfulness, but when we think of devotion to our own root guru, then through this devotion itself, we will recognize that our own mindfulness and the guru's mindfulness actually are a union. So most important is the meditation of devotion.

From the perspective of practice, the essence of this mindfulness is emptiness and its nature is clarity, but if you look for it you cannot find it. This mindfulness is the same nature as the mindfulness of the guru, and if you have an unchanging faith and devotion to your root guru, then the form of the root guru will appear in your mind, and you will remember the guru's instructions. It is just like ordinarily when you love a person, you cannot forget about them, they will always appear in your mind. In the same way, the guru will appear in your mind, and each time the guru appears, you will remember the guru's instructions.

This is an easier way of practice for beginning practitioners - to recognize that this mindfulness is the mindfulness of the guru, or in Dzogchen terms, it is said that it is mindful presence remembering the guru. So this mindful presence or mindfulness represents the guru.

Also, each and every day, you can take a commitment to remember the guru; for example, "today I am going to remember the guru ten times," then the next day fifteen times, and then twenty times. You increase your commitment to remember the guru, and eventually through that your mind will truly become inseparable from the guru. If you lack mindfulness, then also the guru will not arise within your mind - that is a unique instruction.
