세 가지 마음: 직심, 심심, 보리심 28) Chan Qi • Vimalakirti Sutra (65) - 20260131

부처님께서는 먼저 세 가지 마음을 설명하시고, 그다음에 육바라밀을 설하셨습니다.
왜냐하면 수행을 시작하기 전에, 먼저 올바른 세 가지 마음을 갖추어야 하기 때문입니다.

육바라밀을 아무리 많이 알고, 아무리 잘 실천한다 해도 그 수행이 진실되지 않고 깊이가 없다면 그 이유는 세 가지 마음이 부족하기 때문입니다. 세 가지 마음이 있어야 수행이 더 깊어지고, 그 결과 또한 훨씬 더 커집니다.

 

세 가지 마음이란 다음과 같습니다.
첫째, 직심(直心)
둘째, 심심(深心)
셋째, 보리심(菩提心) 입니다.

 

절에 올 때, 비록 5분이든 10분이든, 30분이든 한 시간 반이든
그 짧은 시간 동안이라도 직심을 유지하려고 하십시오.

남에게 평가받을까 걱정하지 말고, 받아들여질까 걱정하지도 마십시오.
그저 있는 그대로의 자신으로 있으면 됩니다. 

 

두 번째는 심심입니다.
심심이란 계속 배우고, 삼매력을 지속적으로 기르는 것입니다.

삼매력은 곧 깊이입니다.
집중할 수 있는 힘이 클수록, 사물의 본질을 더 깊이 통찰할 수 있습니다.

삼매가 깊을수록 마음도 깊어지고, 배움이 많을수록 마음도 깊어집니다.

 

세 번째는 보리심입니다.
보리심이란 부처님과 같은 존재가 되기를 발원하는 마음입니다.

이것은 단순한 성취가 아니라 궁극의 행복입니다. 그보다 더 큰 행복은 없습니다. 

부처가 되는 것이 바로 궁극의 행복이며 궁극의 지혜, 궁극의 지식, 궁극의 성취입니다.

 

세 가지 마음을 갖춘 뒤에 육바라밀을 실천하면 수행은 자연스럽게 더 깊어집니다.

세 가지 마음은 수행을 실행하는 출발점이며, 그 위에서 기술을 배우고 닦아 나가게 됩니다.
그 과정 속에서 세 가지 마음은 계속해서 성장합니다.

여러분의 성장은 한계가 없고, 기쁨과 행복 또한 한계가 없습니다.

그러니 너무 일찍 멈추지 마십시오.
자기 자신 안에도, 삶 안에도 아직 얻을 것이 훨씬 더 많습니다.

 

The Buddha explained the Three Minds first, and then the Six Paramitas, because he said that before you practice, you must first establish the proper Three Minds.
When you practice the Six Paramitas, no matter how much you know or how well you practice, if your practice is not genuine and not expansive, it is because you lack the Three Minds.
You still need the Three Minds to make your practice deeper and to produce much greater results.

The Three Minds are:
First, the Straight Mind.
Second, the Deep Mind.
Third, the Bodhi Mind.

When you come to the temple—even if it is only for five minutes, ten minutes, half an hour, or an hour and a half—try to maintain a straight mind.
Do not worry about being judged.
Do not worry about being accepted.
Just be yourself.

Second, try to cultivate a deep mind.
A deep mind means continuing to learn and continuously developing samadhi.
Samadhi power is depth.
The more you can concentrate, the deeper you can penetrate the matter at hand.
The stronger your samadhi, the deeper your mind becomes.
The more you learn, the deeper your mind becomes.

The third mind is the Bodhi Mind, because the Bodhi Mind is the aspiration to become like the Buddha.
This is the ultimate attainment—not just an achievement, but ultimate happiness.

There is no happiness greater than that level.
Buddhahood represents ultimate happiness, ultimate knowledge, ultimate wisdom, and ultimate accomplishment.

Once you have the Three Minds, your practice of the Six Paramitas becomes deeper.
The Three Minds give you a starting point from which you carry out your practice and develop skills.
As you develop these skills, the Three Minds continue to grow.

Your growth is unlimited.
Your joy and your happiness are unlimited.

Do not stop too soon.
There is so much more to discover within yourself and within life.
