中台禪寺2025年度春季大眾精進禪七起七法語
主七大和尚 釋見穎 公元2025年1月30日
晨鐘暮鼓聲幽遠 白梅紅櫻暖春寒
緣生緣滅性本空 非動非靜心自安
堅住正念定慧香 隨順覺性如是然
莫道紅塵皆束縛 自在花開春滿園
諸位知識,即今起七一事,最後一句又怎麼說法?
日用無心不住相 隨處性淨皆故鄉

2025 Chan-Seven Spring Retreat for the Public
Initiation Verse
Retreat Master Venerable Jianying, January 30th, 2025
Morning bells and evening drums echo deep and far,
White plum and red cherry blossoms warm the spring's chill.
Arising and ceasing, conditioned things are empty in nature,
Beyond motion and stillness, the mind naturally rests in peace.
Abide firmly in right mindfulness, the fragrance of samadhi and wisdom permeates,
Follow the nature of awareness, everything unfolds just as it is.
Say not that all in samsara are enfettered,
When effortless freedom blooms, its scent fills the garden.
Good cultivators, for this Chan-Seven Initiation, how does the last verse go?
Each day, use the mind of no-mind to transcend all appearances,
Wherever our nature remains pure, home is everywhere we go.
