◎越南音樂家Imee Ooi編曲與吟唱的慈經 (metta sutra)
慈經 (metta sutra),是南傳佛教中非常著名的經典。傳說佛在世時,
有群比丘來在雨季安居之前,
前往森林練習禪修。但森林裡的精靈和樹神們為此深感困擾,
無法像過去自在地居住在樹上,
所以祂們就以種種幻相、音聲與氣味來恫嚇這群比丘。為此,
佛陀使教導比丘們無限愛心的修習法──慈心(Metta)。
以及慈心觀的方法,讓比丘們能夠返回森林與樹神們和平相處,
安心並順利地禪修了。
Metta Sutta,是巴利文,意謂著慈愛。持誦慈經,
能將慈心傳遞給一切眾生:願他們都能快樂且寧定。
持誦慈經能夠撫慰人心、使人喜悅,
並且對這個世界有著美妙的療愈-使整個世界都能浸潤在愛的波動中。
真切地讓所有眾生得享快樂。讓他們永遠活在寧定與和諧之中。
