【蓮生活佛 盧勝彥法王寶貴法語開示──金剛手菩薩偉大的來歷及殊勝】

在密教經典上記載：這位金剛手菩薩，是毘盧遮那佛在金剛界大曼荼羅之中，進入了普賢三昧大定三摩地，所化生出來一位大輪之月光，而這月光就是圓滿的菩提心印。

在大月輪光之中，現出了光明的金剛杵。由於如此的神變，金剛手菩薩即是普賢菩薩及金剛薩埵之合體。

而金剛手菩薩的手印跟普賢菩薩也是一樣的。

這位金剛手菩薩，應該是一切如來的第一法王子，是一切如來的菩提心，也就是一切如來秘密的「增上主宰」，正是「執金剛秘密主」。

凡是得證的金剛上師，全是「金剛手菩薩」。

金剛手菩薩是一切諸佛的菩提心。大勢至菩薩就是「智心」。

金剛手菩薩是一切密宗行者的心秘密，所以金剛手菩薩就是金剛心菩薩，一切諸佛菩薩與眾生相應的心。

金剛薩埵金剛心，此菩薩又云「金剛手」，是「祕密主」，其別名「執金剛」、「持金剛」。

「密教三尊」，就是「金剛手菩薩、金剛心菩薩、金剛薩埵」，這三尊是屬於密教最大的菩薩，這三尊合起來，就是金剛薩埵。

金剛薩埵的形像，是報身佛的金剛薩埵；

一個是護法尊的金剛薩埵，就是手金剛──金剛手菩薩，祂是屬於護法尊；

一個是心金剛，就是所謂的金剛心菩薩，就是法界的菩薩，祂本身是屬於法身菩薩。

也就是說法身菩薩、報身菩薩、應身菩薩，這三尊合起來，都可以稱為金剛薩埵。所以，密教裡面最大的菩薩，是金剛薩埵菩薩。

「密教三怙主」觀世音菩薩代表著慈悲，文殊師利菩薩代表著智慧，金剛手菩薩代表著法力。也就是說你一定要皈依觀世音菩薩來長養你的菩提心；皈依文殊師利菩薩讓你的智慧增長，有如來的佛慧，佛的智慧；另外，金剛手菩薩是代表著在世間運作的所有法力，這三尊在密教稱為三怙主。

大圓滿法的傳承有兩種，普賢王如來－五方五如來－金剛薩埵－金剛手菩薩－勝心天子，這是天上的傳承。而人間的傳承是：極喜金剛－妙吉祥友－吉祥獅子－毘盧遮那、蓮華生大士－赤松德真王丶移喜磋嘉

「唐密」，原是毘盧遮那佛所說，金剛手菩薩得最上義，後傳龍猛菩薩，再傳龍智菩薩，龍智再傳金剛智，金剛智則到中國 (唐開元時代) ，故稱「唐密」。以後金剛智傳不空，不空傳慧朗，到了元朝，密宗則式微。

金剛手菩薩心咒「嗡。別炸。把尼。吽。呸。」這就是祂真實的咒語。

「把尼」就是金剛手，這兩個字很重要，，意思是宇宙之間，最有智慧的金剛手。種子字是：「吽」字，驅逐所有一切的不祥叫做「呸」，這就是祂咒語的意思。

金剛手菩薩結界護法的咒語，「嗡。把尼藍者利。」

金剛手菩薩心咒，就代表口的清淨，有金剛手菩薩的形相，就代表意念上的清淨，有金剛手菩薩的手印，就代表金剛手菩薩的身清淨，身口意清淨就能夠接近你的本尊，接近你自己的護法。

學佛的人，完全是一種合一，合一就是相應，相應就是yoga。所以金剛手菩薩瑜伽法、金剛手菩薩念誦法、金剛手菩薩相應法，其實是同樣的，主要是請祂來進入你的心中，你一下子跟金剛手菩薩合一。然後轉化成為金剛手菩薩，這是密教本身修習本尊念誦法最主要的，就是在相應兩個字。

蓮生活佛得到黃教祖師吐登達吉上師的傳承信物之一，土塑金剛手菩薩──是「甘珠活佛」之物，你甚至在幻想中都沒有幻想過，用泥土彫成，精緻莊嚴，有著色，比手掌小，比大姆指大一些，任何人都無法想像。是「甘珠活佛」贈「吐登達吉上師」，「吐登達吉上師」贈我（蓮生活佛）。

恭錄蓮生活佛盧勝彥文集第250冊《未卜先知 》金剛手菩薩念誦法——

有人問我：

「盧師尊！密教三怙主，是四臂觀音、文殊師利菩薩、金剛手菩薩。你已傳四臂觀音法、文殊師利法，獨缺金剛手法，為何？」

我一聽大吃一驚。

我反問：

「我沒傳金剛手法嗎？」

人說：

「是的。」

我想了一想，憶起了普方上師，教披甲護身時唸了〈金剛手菩薩真言〉：

「嗡。把尼。藍者利。」

我始終以為，這樣子就是傳了金剛手法了，原來沒有完整的儀軌。

我寫下重要儀軌如下：

【Living Buddha Lian-sheng Sheng-yen Lu Dharma Talk – Vajrapani Bodhisattva Background and Magnificence】

Vajrapani

Today, if anyone were to ask me ”Who, exactly, is Vajrapani?” I would pose the same question back to them and ask, ”Who really is Vajrapani?”

Someone told me that Vajrapani Bodhisattva is Vajra Heart Bodhisattva (Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva).

Someone told me that Vajrapani is Vairocana Buddha.

Someone told me that Vajrapani is Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

Someone told me that Vajrapani is Trailokyavijaya.

Someone told me that Vajrapani is Vajrasattva.

Today, let me tell you who Vajrapani really is.

As described in the scriptures, it is stated that while dwelling in the Diamond Mandala, Vairocana manifested and merged into the Samadhi Absorption of Samantabhadra. He then manifested a great and round moon-like light which became the body of Vajrapani. This light is the perfect bodhi heart seal.

Amidst the moonlight there is a glowing vajra. Vajrapani is the combined entity of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Vajrasattva.

Vajrapani is the supreme dharma prince of all tathagatas, the very bodhicitta of all tathagatas. He is thus the supreme secret master of all tathagatas. Hence he is given the title ”Vajra Holder, Lord of Secrets.”

Just look at my (Grandmaster Lu) dharma form. I wear a five-buddha crown, which represents the five buddhas. My left hand holds a vajra bell and my right hand holds a vajra scepter. I wear a dharma robe and sit on a lotus throne.

Now consider the dharma form of the Vajra Holder, Lord of Secrets. His right hand holds a vajra and his left hand holds a bell. His head is adorned with a vajra crown. Vairocana Buddha is in the center. The buddhas of the north, east, south and west also appear.

So who is this ”Vajrapani?” Let me say this: all enlightened vajra masters are Vajrapani himself.

Vajrapani Bodhisattva is the bodhicitta of all buddhas whereas Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva is the ”wisdom mind.”

Because Vajrapani Bodhisattva is the secret held in the heart of all Tantric practitioners, Vajrapani Bodhisattva is ”Vajra Heart Bodhisattva.” It is with the ”heart” that sentient beings attain spiritual union with all the buddhas and bodhisattvas.

Vajrasattva is known as ”Vajra Heart.” He is also known as ”Vajrapani,” ”Lord of Secrets,” and ”Vajra Holder.”

Vajrapani, Vajra Heart Bodhisattva, and Vajrasattva are the ”Trinity of Vajrayana.” These three bodhisattvas are the greatest, most significant Vajrayana bodhisattvas. ”Vajrasattva” is the combination of these three bodhisattvas.

The image of Vajrasattva depicts Vajrasattva’s sambhogakaya form. ”Vajrapani” is Vajrasattva in the form of a dharma protector. ”Vajra Heart Bodhisattva” is a bodhisattva of the dharma realm and is the dharmakaya of Vajrasattva.

In other words, the combination of a bodhisattva’s Truth Body, Bliss Body, and Emanation Body is referred to as ”Vajrasattva.” Therefore, in Vajrayana the greatest and most significant bodhisattva is Vajrasattva Bodhisattva.

The ”Three Fundamental Masters” of Vajrayana are Avalokiteshvara, who represents compassion, Manjusri, who represents wisdom, and Vajrapani, who represents dharma power. This means that to extensively nurture one’s Bodhicitta one must take refuge in Avalokiteshvara. One takes refuge in Manjusri to strengthen and increase one’s wisdom, that is, the wisdom of the Tathagata. Vajrapani, on the other hand, represents all the dharma power one needs to accomplish worldly activities. In Vajrayana we call these three deities the ”Three Fundamental Masters.”

The Great Perfection has two lineages. One lineage is the ”heaven” lineage which was passed down as follows: Samantabhadra Tathagata – the Five Dhyani Buddhas – Vajrasattva – Vajrapani – Emperor Shengxin.

The other lineage is the human lineage: Prahevajra – Manjusrimitra – Shri Singha – Vairotsana – Padmasambhava – King Trisong Detsen -Yeshe Tsogyal

”Tang” Vajrayana began with the oral transmission from Vairocana Buddha to Vajrapani, who, after attaining supreme realization, transmitted the teachings to Nagarjuna. Nagarjuna transmitted the teachings to Nagajnana, who transmitted them to Vajrabodhi. Because Vajrabodhi came to China during the Tang Dynasty, it is called ”Tang” Vajrayana. Vajrabodhi then transmitted the teachings to Amoghavajra who in turn transmitted them to Huiguo. By the time of the Yuan Dynasty, Vajrayana in China was in decline.

In the highest dharma practice of ”Vajrapani Bodhisattva” the practitioner can see the actual manifestation of ”Vajrapani Bodhisattva.” At that moment Vajrapani’s buddha light will illuminate so brilliantly that the mudra-forming practitioner will become completely invisible within this light. The practitioner will attain utmost, perfect, and complete mastery, which is an extraordinary accomplishment.
