title: "靈峰蕅益大師宗論 · 絕餘編自序"
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。"

### 絕餘編自序

生平行履，百無一長，獨大菩提心，忘身為法，捨己從人，則堪質三世慈尊者也。自庚午至甲戌，五年中，幾經困衡無退。迨乙亥仲秋，志終不伸。丙子春乃遁。塗中大病，逗遛九華，哀禱地藏本師，仍得閱藏著述之決。嗟乎！文字性空，性空即是實相。實相離一切相、即一切法，豈離文字而解脫哉？昔棄筆硯，絕而不絕，今也不絕而絕矣。姑名絕餘。

> Throughout my life’s journey, I have had no particular strengths. The only thing I can offer is the great Bodhi mind — forgetting myself for the sake of the Dharma, setting aside my own interests to serve others. This, I believe, I can stand before the three generations of compassionate masters and affirm without shame. From 1630 to 1634, over five years, I faced repeated hardships and obstacles, yet never retreated. By the autumn of 1635, my aspirations remained unfulfilled. In the spring of 1636, I retreated. Along the way, I fell gravely ill and lingered at Mount Jiuhua, where I made fervent prayers to the original teacher, Kṣitigarbha. I was then guided to continue studying the scriptures and writing. Ah — words and texts are empty by nature, and this emptiness itself is ultimate reality. Ultimate reality transcends all forms, yet pervades all phenomena. How could liberation possibly be found apart from words? In the past, I abandoned my brush and ink, yet the break was never complete. Now, though I put them down, I have truly let go. Therefore, I call this work "Jue Yu" — the remains of that letting go.
