增长福德、遣除违缘、开启智慧的幸福咒语【索达吉堪布】
离苦得乐的幸福咒语
Mantras for Averting Suffering and Obtaining Happiness
我确信,一个人不管内心有何所求,只要一心一意祈祷佛,必会带来与自己根基和业缘相应的利益。甚至仅仅称一声“南无佛”,对今生今世也有不可估量的意义!
释迦牟尼佛
Buddha Shakyamuni
若想缓解生活、工作的压力,最简单、最实用的禅修方法是:先专注盯着释迦牟尼佛像,看一会儿闭目想;
If you wish to alleviate the stress of life and work, one of the simplest and most practical types of meditation is to gaze at an image of Buddha Shakyamuni with full absorption for a while, then close your eyes and bring the image to mind.
想不起来了,再看一会儿,再闭目想……
When the mental image starts to blur, open your eyes and gaze at the image again for a while, and then close your eyes and visualize it again.
如此不断训练,直至想得非常清晰。
Keep practicing like this until the image appears clearly in your mind.
如果想打坐修禅定,这也是最有加持力的方法。
If you wish to develop concentration, this method brings the greatest blessings.
You can also recite the mantra of Buddha Shakyamuni, which is excellent for subduing your mental afflictions: Tadyatha om muni muni mahamuniye svaha.
长寿佛
Amitayus
若想增长自己或他人的寿命,避免夭折或意外身亡,可一心一意地祈祷长寿佛,专注持念长寿佛心咒“嗡 阿玛 Ra呢则万德耶索哈”。
If you wish to lengthen your life or someone else’s, or to avoid an early grave or unexpected death, pray wholeheartedly to Amitayus, the buddha of long life. To do this, mindfully recite his mantra: Om amarani jivantiye svaha.
金刚萨埵
Vajrasattva
过去有意或无意中造下的一切罪业,若生起后悔之心,一边念金刚萨埵心咒“嗡班匝萨埵吽”,
When regret arises for all the negative deeds you have committed in the past, whether intentionally or unintentionally, recite the mantra of Vajrasattva: Om vajrasattva hum.
一边想着金刚萨埵佛尊降下甘露,洗尽自己的罪业,诸罪可逐渐灭尽无余。
At the same time, visualize nectar descending from Vajrasattva and rinsing away all your negative karma.This practice gradually eliminates all kinds of negative karma.
药师佛
The Medicine Buddha
虔诚、专注地祈祷药师佛,持念“南无药师琉璃光如来”,能灭除一切疾病,消灾延寿,也可令容貌更加庄严。
Praying to the Medicine Buddha with absorption and faith by reciting Om bhaishajye bhaishajye mahabhaishajye raja samudgate svaha can increase longevity, dispel all sorts of diseases and disasters, and as a bonus, make you appear more dignified.
阿弥陀佛
Amitabha
临终时,若一心一意持念“南无阿弥陀佛”,在脑海中想着阿弥陀佛的庄严身相,同时,周围的人也为其念此佛号,可消除死时的痛苦、恐惧,身心得到安乐。有缘者命终后往生极乐世界。
At the time of death, if you can recite Namo Amitabha wholeheartedly while visualizing the sublime body of the Buddha Amitabha, you can become free from the suffering and fear of death and feel peaceful, happy, and physically at ease. Those who are fortunate can even take rebirth in the Pure Land of Great Bliss after death. It’s even better if the dying person recites it together with other people.
莲花生大士
Padmasambhava
若虔诚祈祷莲花生大士,一心念诵莲师心咒“嗡啊吽 班匝格热班玛色德吽”,可化解一切不祥,如本命年、争斗、恶兆、疾病、横祸等,修行无有任何障碍,迅速成就所愿。
If you pray devoutly to Padmasambhava and with concentration recite his mantra, Om ah hum vajra guru padma siddhi hum, you can avert negative events like conflicts, diseases, and sudden misfortune. Obstacles to practice will be eliminated, and wishes will be swiftly fulfilled.
度母
Tara
若虔诚祈祷度母,一心专念度母心咒“嗡 达热 德达热 德热索哈”,能止息恶咒、自杀、疾病等损害,
If you pray devoutly to Tara, and with concentration recite her mantra, Om tare tuttare ture svaha, evil curses, suicidal ideations, and diseases can be annihilated;
免除一切烦恼,消除心中恐惧,获得钱财、势力、名声等世间力量。
afflictive emotions can be pacified; fears can be dispelled; and wealth, influence, and fame can be obtained.
当今之世,修此法之成效最为迅速。
In the present era, this practice brings results most swiftly.
地藏菩萨
Kshitigarbha
若想所求如愿以偿,善根增长,福报、财富圆满,或者超度已故亡人,可一心专念“南无地藏菩萨”,祈祷地藏菩萨加持。
In order to fulfill your wishes, enhance the roots of virtue, increase merit and wealth, or transfer the consciousness of the deceased to a favorable rebirth, you can recite Namo bodhisattva kshitigarbha and pray for his blessings.
文殊菩萨
Manjushri
若想开启内心的智慧,明辨所做之事如何取舍,可一心专念文殊心咒“嗡阿Ra巴匝那德”。
If you would like to activate your inner wisdom and distinguish what should be adopted from what should be abandoned, recite the mantra of Manjushri, Om arapachana dhih.
尤其是孩子在读书时,常念文殊心咒,对学业大有助益。
In particular, for those who are still in school, reciting the mantra of Manjushri can help improve academic performance.
观世音菩萨
Avalokiteshvara
无论遇到任何危险、急难,一心专念“南无观世音菩萨”,可逢凶化吉、遇难成祥。
If you’re in a dangerous situation or disaster and you single-mindedly recite Om mani padme hum, it can transform difficult situations into favorable ones and misfortune into good fortune.
大鹏金翅鸟
Garudas
佛菩萨为利益众生而化现为大鹏形象。
In order to benefit sentient beings, buddhas and bodhisattvas manifest in the form of the eagle-like garudas, who embody the mind’s pure essence.
若一心祈祷大鹏,能获得无碍的威力,消除非人、鬼魔带来的各种危害,对癫疯、昏厥等药物难以治疗的疾患,有与众不同的功效。
If you wholeheartedly pray to the garudas, you can obtain strength, ward off negative influences, and experience relief from ailments like seizures.
以上内容,只是沧海一粟。
These are just some examples of the benefits of deity practices.
其实每一个心咒或圣号,都有无量无边的功德,写几本书也写不完。
In fact, each mantra or name bestows boundless merit.
但为了方便大家选择,我特将这些佛菩萨最拿手的“特长”介绍了一下,你们可根据自己不同的需要,寻找适合自己的方法。
However, in order to help you choose which mantra or name to recite, I have described their main benefits so that you can choose the one that’s best suited to your needs.
在念佛菩萨的心咒或圣号时,看着、想着佛菩萨的庄严身相非常重要,
While reciting the mantras or names of buddhas or bodhisattvas, it’s very important to gaze at or visualize their physical form.
以此更容易摄住我们的散乱心,与佛菩萨的加持相应。
This helps us to concentrate on the object without becoming distracted and to become open to their blessings.
其实,看到佛像的功德不可思议,可令我们远离一切障碍,增长无量福德。
In fact, just looking at an image of a Buddha accumulates merit and wards off obstacles.
如《华严经》中说:“若得见于佛,舍离一切障,长养无尽福,成就菩提道。”
The Avatamsaka Sutra says, “If someone catches sight of a buddha, he or she will be free from all obstacles, accumulate infinite merit, and gain accomplishment on the path to enlightenment.”
甚至以嗔恨或蔑视的眼光看佛像,也会因为与佛结缘,对来世有无量的利益,那以信心、恭敬心、欢喜心注视着佛像,就更不用说了。
Even if you look at the Buddha’s image with hatred or defiance, you still have established a connection with the Buddha and will benefit from it in future lives.
如果将佛像放在清净的高处,经常诚心地礼拜、供养、祈祷,并按照佛教中的这些方法修行,久而久之,不但可息灭烦恼、缓解压力、解脱痛苦,还能令相貌庄严、声音悦耳、具足财富等,有各种无形的加持力。
If we place a statue of the Buddha in a high, clean place and sincerely perform prostrations, make offerings, and pray to it regularly, and if we practice according to the Buddhist teachings, as time goes on we’ll receive many intangible blessings. We’ll gradually experience fewer afflictive emotions, less stress, and less suffering.
我确信,一个人不管内心有何所求,只要一心一意祈祷佛,必会带来与自己根基和业缘相应的利益。
I’m certain that no matter what you wish for, as long as you pray wholeheartedly to the Buddha, you’re bound to receive help that matches your capacity, your karma, and your circumstances.
甚至仅仅称一声“南无佛”,对今生来世也有不可估量的意义!
Even just chanting “Namo Buddha” (“praise to the Buddha”) one time could be significant for your present and future lives.
