内容概要

Chan Master Wujue Miaotian　悟觉妙天禅师

Chan Master Wujue Miaotian started his spiritual journey at age forty. After visiting and studying numerous religions, he became a disciple of the 84th Patriarch of the Order of Chan. After practicing the Profound Buddha Heart Dharma, he attained enlightenment and received transmission from Buddha. Due to his inner witness of the Buddha Heart, along with his inheritance of the Lingji Order, he became the 85th Patriarch of the Order of Chan (an orthodox lineage of Buddhist practice originally trasnmitted from Shakyamuni Buddha to MahaKasyapa.)

The venerable Chan Master witnesses that for the attainment of enlightenment within one lifetime, one must awaken first, must open one’s heart, must witness one’s self-nature, through the state of Right Ding by practicing the formless dharma - the authentic lineage teachings of Chan, transmitted directly from Buddha’s heart to the heart of the practitioner.

The Chan Master graduated from the National Defense University and went to the graduate school in the Political Science Department at the Chinese Culture University in Taiwan. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Institute of Philosophy at the Toyo University in Japan in 1993. In 1999, he was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Philosophy degree by the Institute of International Education in New York.

悟觉妙天禅师于四十岁开始正式修行，在参访了许多教派后，皈依于禅宗第八十四代宗师门下，修行佛心印心正法，并继承禅宗临济法脉，为摩诃迦叶尊者以来禅宗第八十五代宗师（中土第五十八代、临济宗第四十八代）。

禅师认为，由开悟修行禅定，到佛的境界，必须先明心见性，要识自本心，见自本性，这惟有透过禅宗「佛心印心」佛法，秘密内证，才能证得。因为只有入甚深禅定，才能在短时间让思维归零，然后从人的境界离开我执、法执，进入灵性的真空本体，此时自性光明自然显现。

禅师毕业于国防管理大学，曾在文化大学政治研究所研究，后于公元一九九三年获得日本东洋医学哲学研究院哲学博士学位，并于公元一九九九年荣获美国纽约国际教育学院颁授荣誉哲学博士荣衔。

序

Endorsement推荐序

Many of us used to think that Sitting Chan is practiced mostly by senior citizens or retired people.Recent trends,established by public polls in the United States and in other Western societies on practicing regular meditation, reveal that this kind of thinking is outdated.

It is my belief that as natural energy enters our body through Sitting Chan, the first biological system it encounters is our optical system. That is why we see light. Similarly, our other organs and nerve systems may be affected by this energy which may have a healing effect. These may be the reasons why Sitting Chan induces physical healing and why it is gaining popularity throughout the world today.

Sitting Chan, if practiced correctly, will allow our body to absorb the energy of the universe through our skin into our body and then deeply into our organs,bone marrow, and nerve systems. Our entire physical body will then be filled with this atural life force; we become healthier and live longer. It is important that we adhere to the correct procedure and techniques of Sitting Chan in order to maximize these benefits.

This edition of “Introduction to Sitting Chan”describes in detail the steps from belly breathing to Sitting Chan to the state of Chan Ding. If the reader follows the exercises in this book faithfully and practices them diligently, the rewards will be many times more than the effort put into it. I sincerely and highly recommend this book.

一般人对禅坐所抱持的观念，可能只是老年人退休后修身养性的一种方式，但国际间风起云涌的习禅风潮，正说明了这种观念已经落伍了。

国际间之所以会风行禅坐，正是因为经由禅坐，可以将大自然的能量源源不绝的吸纳进入人体，这些能量首先接触的就是视觉神经，因而激发了人体的视觉潜能，我想这就是我在禅定中看到光的原因，当然其他的感官神经也一样，会在光能的激化下，得到滋养而回复功能。

正确的禅坐是透过身定、意定、心定的功夫，直接进入到人的内心灵感范围里，让大气中的光能，绵密而细致的经由皮肉深入到筋骨、骨髓、神经系统，让身体所有的器官充满生命之光，而达到增强身体健康，延长寿命的功效，这当然需要正确的禅坐方法及步骤，才能达到目的。

这一本「禅坐入门」的汇编，从基础的呼吸吐纳、基本禅坐到禅定心法，非常有次第的为读者做了最正确的编排叙述，若能依照书中铺陈的基础禅坐步骤练习，不仅不会走火入魔，对身心灵的提升更会有很大的帮助，我衷心的推荐给读者。
