净化喉轮的业力
我以前刚出家的时候念经、上早晚课嗓门很大的!后来,我去参学才发现有些地方出家人从小就锻炼,念经都是用吼的!他们嗓门大得不得了,为什么?这本身就是一种修法!
During those times when I just became a monk, my voice was especially loud when it came to the morning and evening reciting lessons. It was only after my learning expedition that I came to realise monks in some places were trained to recite the sutra at the top of their voices since young. Why do they have roaring loud voices? This by itself, is also a type of cultivation.
因为从法报化三身来说,这个喉轮就代表报身,喉咙的业障就会卡在那边,就像饿鬼一样,饿鬼的喉咙是卡着的。我们虽然是人不是饿鬼,但是喉轮里沉了很多的业在里面,不清净的语业,要通过吼、大声念经等这些功德的力量把喉轮的业破掉。
From the perspective of the three kayas, namely Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya & Nirmanakaya, the throat chakra symbolizes Sambhogakaya. Karmas of the throat will then be stuck there, just like hungry ghosts whose throats are blocked. Although we are human beings and not hungry ghosts, the throat chakra contains much karma - karma which originated from unclean languages & can only be broken by the strength of merits which arise from reciting of sutras at the top of one’s voice.
修行人从小就要这样锻炼,这样子而且慢慢到从喉咙、到胸腔的共鸣、到丹田的共鸣。佛教里维那都是用丹田音,僧众念经也是一个个收下巴挺胸,发的都是丹田音。
Practitioners ought to be trained in such a manner from young, so that the throat & chest cavity will gradually come to a resonance, followed by resonance with the Dantian (energy center). In Buddhism, the Karmadana will chant with the voice from Dantian (energy center). Same goes for monks when they recite sutras. They will tuck in their chins with straight back and produce voices from the Dantian (energy center).
我们上早晚功课是要大声念的,而且你这样大声念了以后胃口也好,多吃饭你就进入良性循环。你不大声念,到时候胃口也不好,吃不下,面黄肌瘦,越那样越觉得“唉,我没力气、我没底气”,底气哪去了?在佛面前你都不用力、你都偷懒,你偷懒护法神都看着呐!佛是悲悯你,护法神也是有慈悲心的,没慈悲心早一竿子把你打出去了。
Our morning & evening recitals should be done at the top of our voices. Moreover, your appetite becomes better after all the roaring. The increase of food intake will then bring you into a positive cycle. Without roaring, your appetite will not be good, and without appetite, one will look pale & thin, constantly feeling: “Sigh, I have no strength, I have no energy.” Where does all your energy go to? Dharma protectors are watching you when you skive off in the face of Buddha by not exerting your strength. Dharma protectors are sympathetic as well. If not for the sympathy of Buddha & Dharma protectors, you would have been thrown out long ago.
