           林夕 行書「十方一念」 水墨紙本 鏡框

           款識:
           十方一念。十方一念,黑暗光明,如畫裝飾眼睛。唯心可造,喜惡陰
           晴,直到清靜。蓮花千瓣,鋪滿生命,泥汚不沾背影。無礙無垢,
           以大悲之心覺醒。大方廣佛,普照光明,在沙粒上禪定。肉身不住,
           色相歸零,滅卻宿命。萬千廣廈,歌舞昇平,人間虛戀布景。雲累成
           雨,雨幻作雪後忘形。成住究竟壞空,業報留證,了身、了心、了
           境。無量眾生,未竟,佛性、人性, 隨順,渡化怨聲。如來處,就
           是經,無來處,亦是經。菩提果,由何人領,寂自性自在境。進念二
           十面體舞台劇《花嚴經》主題曲,作詞林夕,作曲于逸堯,作於二〇

           Shifang yinian or “Ten Directions But One Thought” is a song Lin
           wrote in 2009 for the Buddha’s Birthday, a Buddhist festival that
           is celebrated in most of East Asia commemorating the birth of the
           Gautama Buddha. Inspired by the Flower Garland Sutra, Lin started
           to write lyrics imbued with Buddhist philosophy to look for a sense of
           calmness.

           其他四首書法歌詞,皆為摘句,唯這首從頭到尾一句不漏,以此詞不
           為大眾熟悉之故,也因為全詞字字皆辛苦。所謂辛苦,辛者五味之
           一,苦者,滅苦為佛家終極之境。十方天地在一念,一念即苦,轉念
           即樂。

           多年來試著從紙上與生活上參悟佛理,二千年左右開始發展佛系歌
           詞,嘗試在情歌中暗藏一個「悟」字。《十方一念》是少數直書,而
           且算是把所領會到的集大成。詞詞緣起於進念二十面體劇團要把《華
           嚴經》搬上舞台,他們找我寫主題曲,肩膀立刻有千斤重,寫起來卻
           如得天助,一字一句不在腦海而是從心裏流出來,在喜悅中得平靜。

           小字中的「華嚴經」,有心寫成「花嚴經」。《華嚴經》有人唸
           「華」,有人唸「花」,「華」字古時通「花」,我取「花」字本無
           念,只覺得沒那嚴肅罷了。
