近些年,我去到很多企业,看见不少企业老板办公室的墙上都挂着《心经》,有手写版的,也有印刷版的,还有各种不同材质制作而成的。由此现象,我在想,也许有些人对《心经》是不解其意的,但他们仍然喜欢。这其中有用来装饰的,有想得到吉祥保佑的,也有是真正理解并由衷喜爱的。种种不同的心念,都以相同挂在墙上的形式表现。
In recent years, I went to many companies, and saw The Heart of Sutra hanging on walls in many business owners’ offices. Some were handwritten, some were printed, and there were a few made of a variety of materials. Seeing this, I was thinking a majority of people still liked it though they did not understand The Heart of Sutra. Some kept it for decoration, some for auspicious blessing, and some had genuine understanding and keen love on it. All kinds of different thoughts were presented in the same form by hanging it on the wall.
《心经》的全称是《般若波罗蜜多心经》,我知道大多数挂在墙上的人都不解这题目的含义。般若波罗蜜是梵语的译音,所以初读者很难理解。
The full name of The Heart of Sutra is The Heart of Prajna Paramita Sutra. I saw that most people hanging it on the wall did not understand the meaning of this title. As Prajna is a transliteration of Sanskrit, it is difficult for beginners to understand.
般若,指的是一种极高的智慧境界。般若智慧是凡夫通过不间断地深入地学习和实践,从而逐渐进入到一个透彻宇宙人生真理的境界。
Pravda refers to a very high level of wisdom. Prajna wisdom is the constant in-depth learning and practice of the mortal, then gradually evolves to a state where one can comprehend life theory of the universe.
波罗密多,是指由凡夫到圣人的境界。这个智慧境界的人,虽身处于世间,但心不住于世间。从凡夫的此岸到达圣人的彼岸,是真正消除一切苦厄,无忧无虑,无生无死,欢乐自在的解脱境界。所以,《般若波罗蜜多心经》的含义就是:般若者,智慧也;波罗密者,到达彼岸也。
Baltic refers to the state from the mortal to the saints. People in this state live in the world physically but not mentally. Sailing from the shore of the mortal to the other side of the saints is the state where one can eliminate all hardships, turn to be happy and carefree of life and death. So The Heart of Prajna Paramita Sutra signifies: the Pravda are those with wisdom; the Paramita are those who reached the other side (of the saint).
