高野真言是一款淨化心靈、用於修持真言的的App, 由高野山法會部部長加藤榮俊大僧正 台灣高野山真言宗協會理事長袁昌大少僧正 於日本高野山伽藍金堂內陣所錄製的真言,收錄的真言內容: 1、光明真言 2、藥師如來小咒 3、慈救咒 4、空海大師真言(御寶號) 【真言宗簡介】 真言宗,為金剛乘佛教之一,亦為密教的其中一支。 弘法大師空海爲本宗派的開宗元祖,而以東寺及高野山等處為根本道場,故又稱東密。 以此與日本天台宗裡傳承的密教:台密,以及西藏傳承的密教:藏密相區別。   在歷史上,密教是由:金剛智、不空、善無畏三位大師,分別將金剛頂系以及大日經系密法陸續傳入中國,史稱「開元三大士」。 其後兩系密法匯流於惠果阿闍梨,法化大盛於時,朝野歸依,四方宗仰。   宗祖弘法大師空海入唐求法,將密教傳承帶回日本,並將其體系化而形成獨立宗派。 但在中國因為唐武宗滅佛等種種因素,密教傳承逐漸衰亡,這一系密法便在日本完整保留並傳承下來。 弘法大師認為密教為法身佛大日如來所說。 而密教所謂秘密者,一則由眾生為迷妄所覆,未見自心真實之故,此稱眾生秘密; 二則以佛所自證的真實境界,非語言文字所能表達,此即如來秘密。 當修行者透過三密修行,即藉由:口誦真言、身結印契、意存觀想,即能開顯自心無量寶藏,體得諸佛微妙境界,此即弘法大師所云:「顯藥拂塵,真言開庫」。 【光明真言介紹】 光明真言,全稱《不空羂索毘盧遮那佛大灌頂光眞言》,出《不空羂索神變真言經》卷廿八。 經云:「若有眾生隨處得聞此大灌頂光真言二三七遍經耳根者,即得除滅一切罪障。」若以此真言加持土沙百八遍,散灑於亡者屍骸或墓塔上,能令亡者光明及身、離苦得樂。復能除眾生宿業病障、鬼神嬈亂等事。 此咒在日本真言、天台及禪宗等各宗派,廣用於渡亡及施餓鬼等法要中。真言宗並視此真言為諸佛菩薩總咒,受持讀誦者有無量無邊功德。 【藥師咒介紹】 藥師佛,全稱「藥師琉璃光如來」,因曾發救度眾生「眾病悉除,身心安樂」之大願,故自古以來即以消災治病之功德而廣受信仰。 此尊有大咒及小咒,大咒出於《藥師七佛本願經》等經軌,即通稱的「藥師灌頂真言」,小咒則出自《陀羅尼集經》卷二,即本處所讀誦的版本。此咒能解脫罪障、轉禍求福、治諸產難及鬼神病。 【慈救咒介紹】 慈救咒為不動明王諸多真言之一。不動明王又稱不動使者,乃大日如來之教令輪身。 為調伏剛強難化的眾生,而外顯之大忿怒相,然其內在仍為慈悲救度,「慈救」之意即在於此。 誦持不動明王真言,能護持修行者,成就堅固菩提心,並能降伏災障、成就諸願。 此App為「台灣高野山真言宗協會」監製。
