酒之禪機

酒之禪機

惟雯說故事

 

北宋大文豪蘇東坡有一次到大相國寺拜訪他的好友佛印和尚,恰值佛印外出,蘇東坡就先在禪房住下。

 

他無意中看到了禪房牆壁上留有一首佛印題的詩,其詩云:

酒色財氣四堵牆,

人人都在裡面藏;

誰能跳出圈外頭,

不活百歲壽也長 。

 

蘇東坡看見後,另有所思,就提起筆來,在佛印的詩旁邊附和了一首,

他寫的是:

 

飲酒不醉是英豪,

戀色不迷最為高;

不義之財不可取,

有氣不生氣自消 。

 

寫完後,蘇東坡次日就離去了。

 

某一日,宋神宗趙頊在王安石的陪同下,來到大相國寺遊覽,他們看到了佛印和蘇東坡的題詩,感到頗為有趣……

於是神宗就對王安石說:愛卿,你何不也和一首?

 

王安石才高八斗,隨即應命,揮毫舞墨,寫道:

無酒不成禮儀,

無色路斷人稀;

無財民不奮發,

無氣國無生機 。

 

宋神宗大為激賞,也乘興題寫了一首,他寫的是:

酒助禮樂社稷康,

色育生靈重綱常;

財足糧豐家國盛,

氣凝太極定陰陽 。

 

這是一組關於酒色財氣的妙趣橫生的故事,由於作詩的人所處的立場和格局不同,對於同樣的「酒色財氣」四種事物也就產生了截然不同的評價和意境。

 

佛印和尚的詩從証悟佛家之「空性」來談,提倡完全和酒色財氣相絕緣,出離世間,是佛家的出世思路,是內聖之法門。

 

而蘇東坡的詩則強調對待酒色財氣的關鍵是把握一個度,即「中庸之道」。是從儒家個人修身方面來談,也屬於內聖之法。

 

王安石和宋神宗則從酒色財氣對國家社稷的積極正面作用方面來談,肯定了酒色財氣中所蘊含的積極因素,一個是賢相的眼界,一個是王者的格局。

 

這就是每個人各自認知的不同之道。所以天地萬物沒有對錯,只是我們認知的角度各自不同!

    Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year
    old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear
    and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had
    to tell someone!

    Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the
    internet the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I
    definitely get annoyed while people consider worries that
    they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the
    nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having
    side effect , people could take a signal.

    Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

    I do agree with all the ideas you’ve presented in your post. They’re really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are very short for novices. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.
