以禪教悲智無我

果醒法師,法鼓山紐約東初禪寺 【編者注:果醒法師一九八六年出家,現任法鼓山紐約東初禪寺及象岡道場住持。法師出家以後所掌執事,皆與禪修密不可分,在聖嚴法師座下出家二十多年,法師領悟到師父的教法,不論在禪堂,或在日常待人處事,都是從無我的態度出發,所以真正能夠利益眾生。】 思索無常 我學佛與出家的因緣,都和禪修有關,包括我出家以後擔任的執事,也跟禪修直接相關。我曾經擔任禪坐會輔導法師很長一段時,也曾到泰國參學禪修;後來到傳燈院禪修中心、法鼓山禪堂,以及現在紐約負責兩個道場,都與禪修密不可分。 當初想學禪修,原因很多。我以前是下棋高手,下棋可以不用實體棋盤,而是直接講棋,一次可想十七步。下棋的人都說, 凡事都有其癥結點,絕不是靠運氣的。由於當時我在感情上很不順遂,因此想知道究竟過去是什麼因緣,以至於現在如此?這是我學禪的動機之一。此外,我的棋術退步了,還有身體健康狀況不佳,也是促使我學習禪修的因素。
