title: "靈峰蕅益大師宗論 · 偶書二則"
description: "靈峰蕅益大師宗論是明末高僧智旭的著作。明末佛教面臨內部僵化與外部挑戰，智旭大師立足天台宗，主張禪教律淨融合，回應時代弊病。該書匯集其書信、註疏與開示，系統闡述性相融通、淨土為歸的佛學思想，強調解行並進與實踐修行。作為中國佛教史上承先啟後的巨著，它深刻影響了後世漢傳佛教的發展，尤其對淨土宗的推廣貢獻卓著，被尊為淨土宗第九祖的智旭，其思想透過此論成為明清佛教的重要指南。"

### 偶書二則

> Two Short Essays

諸佛修稱性之善，故能化身千百億，自在度眾生。眾生造稱性之惡，故能一一身遍滿八萬四千大地獄，一日一夜具受八萬生死之苦。然則佛境界不可思議，眾生境界亦不可思議，秖由現前一念，本自不可思議耳，有智者宜安從邪？

> All Buddhas cultivate the goodness that accords with their true nature, thus they can manifest in hundreds of billions of transformation bodies and freely liberate beings. Sentient beings commit evil that accords with their true nature, thus each body can fill the eighty-four thousand great hells, experiencing the suffering of eighty-four thousand cycles of birth and death in a single day and night. Yet the Buddha’s realm is inconceivable, and the realm of sentient beings is equally inconceivable—all because the single present thought is itself inherently inconceivable. Where should those with wisdom turn?

四凶居堯、舜之世，而不能自安其生，孔、孟丁春秋、戰國之亂，而不足以改其樂，故知得失全由自心，外境何與焉？今人不治心而問境，無乃惑乎？

> In the era of Yao and Shun, the four wicked beings could not feel at ease in their lives. Yet during the chaos of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, Confucius and Mencius remained undisturbed in their joy. This shows that gain and loss depend entirely on one's own mind; how could external circumstances have any part in it? People today do not cultivate their minds but instead blame their surroundings—is this not confusion itself?
