title: "法華三昧懺儀 · 2 明三七日行法前方便"
description: "法華三昧懺儀由隋代天台宗创始人智顗大师撰述。该典籍诞生于中国佛教忏法体系成熟时期，融合了《法华经》教义与天台止观实践。全文系统构建了以忏悔、诵经、禅观为核心的修行仪轨，指导修行者通过身口意三业清净，证入法华三昧境界。作为汉传佛教最早形成的忏仪之一，它奠定了后世忏法体系的理论基础，对天台宗实践哲学发展影响深远，至今仍是佛教重要修行范本。"

### 明三七日行法前方便第二

> Second Chapter: Preliminary Practices Before the Chanting Retreat

修行有二種。一者初行。二者久行。教初行者當用此法。教久修者依安樂行品。

> <note>There are two types of practitioners. One is the beginner. The other is the seasoned practitioner. Beginners should be taught using this method. Seasoned practitioners should follow the principles of the Chapter on Peaceful Practices.</note>

夫一切懺悔行法。悉須作前方便。所以者何。若不先嚴淨身心卒入道場。則道心不發行不如法。無所感降。是故當於正懺之前。一七日中先自調伏其心息諸緣事。供養三寶嚴飾道場。淨諸衣服一心繫念。自憶此身已來及過去世所有惡業。生重慚愧禮佛懺悔。行道誦經坐禪觀行。發願專精。為令正行三昧身心清淨無障閡故。心所願求悉克果故亦須誦下諸懺悔文。悉令通利。

> All practices of repentance require preliminary groundwork. Why is this? If one enters the practice space without first purifying body and mind, the sincere wish to practice will not arise, one's actions will not follow the proper method, and no spiritual response will be received. Therefore, before the formal repentance, one should spend seven days calming and settling the mind, setting aside all worldly affairs. Offer to the Three Jewels, decorate the practice space, purify one's clothing, and focus with one-pointed mind. Reflect on all the negative actions one has committed in this life and past lives, generate deep remorse and shame, bow to the Buddha, and repent. Practice walking meditation and chanting, sitting meditation and contemplation. Make vows with focused dedication, all so that the proper practice of absorption may proceed with body and mind purified, free from obstacles, and so that whatever one sincerely wishes for will be realized. <note>Also recite all the repentance texts below until they flow smoothly.</note>
