早晚課－法鼓山 vs Sutra

中國的課誦儀軌，始於東晉道安法師制定《僧尼軌範》，當時制定了六時行道、飲食唱食法等，往後寺院早晚課誦逐漸齊備。佛門課誦，是在提契學佛者的信念，是在推動學佛者願力之加深，悲心之加重，是在喚起學佛者八識田中佛因佛種的萌芽茁長或漸漸的醒覺。那是孕育菩提道心，助長菩提道果階段中的一種灌溉作用。所以學佛的人，每日課誦應當不能間斷。 早晚課誦，是學佛者的定課，從一天之始的攝心，到一天將盡時的迴向，連結一天的行持生活。早課依佛菩薩的守護力，提起精進心；晚課誦《阿彌陀經》、蒙山施食，除了趣向淨土的祈願，還能生起對眾生的慈悲，因此朝暮課誦是冥陽兩利的佛事。透過規律的課誦，累積修行的資糧、調伏身心、去我執……，下次到寺院，記得把握機會參加早晚課誦，來頓「法食」，領受課誦的法喜。 「早晚課」APP收錄了聖嚴法師《心的經典－心經新釋》、《佛法綱要－四聖諦、六波羅蜜、四弘誓願講記》、《普賢菩薩行願讚》、〈佛說阿彌陀經－觀照自性的歸處〉、〈四弘誓願－親證菩提的願心〉、〈普賢菩薩行願讚－證入法界的萬行〉、〈心經生活－找回生命的刻度〉及《人生雜誌》等50種文字及影音開示，引領您心遊於法海之中，身如沐在三寶的慈光裡，以此恆常的定課面對一切順逆境界，不斷增進道業，如聖嚴法師所說：「時時心有法喜，念念不離禪悅。」的成長體驗。
