不乱之心 - mauriceling/mauriceling.github.io GitHub Wiki

弥陀开短经
愿当欲生者
一日若七日
保持不乱心
未知何不乱
先知有乱情
乱为常反复
有如山峻岭
不乱池塘水
轻波也宁静
信心何反复
一信雪平路
愿往何反复
至心往一处
蜻蜓点水面
微浪也成片
狂风起巨浪
冰池也不然

Commentary: This poem is talking aboutt “一心不乱” from 啊弥陀经。There are 3 kinds of 一心不乱 – (1) 信一心不乱, (2) 愿一心不乱, and (3) 行一心不乱。

信一心不乱 – Have you waiver from believing in (1) the presence of 啊弥陀佛, (2) the presence of 极乐世界, and (3) the confidence that Shakyamuni’s teachings of 啊弥陀佛 and 极乐世界 are correct? If you have these 3, you have 信一心不乱。In fact, how to be 信很乱? One moment 信, one moment don’t 信? Or one day 信, one day don’t 信? If that is the case, you probably have bipolar disorder in the first place.

愿一心不乱 – Have you waiver from wanting to go 极乐世界? If no, then you also have 愿一心不乱。

行一心不乱 – This is not easy. 行一心不乱 requires a part of your mind to be 念佛，念极乐世界 all the time. It is almost like a background process and this needs training. If can do this, then you will reach the next level, called 功夫成片; 而且是大片。
