禪那,譯為「思惟修」,常想這件事。什麼事?就是話頭。研究「念佛是誰?」這句話,這叫參禪。其實參話頭也是妄想。不過是以妄制妄,以毒攻毒的辦法,用一個妄想來消滅多個妄想。參話頭的功夫,需要經過長時間才能有所成就。所謂「久參有禪」。

那麼六祖大師由草裏邊出來了,聽惠明大師這樣講,就對他說:「不思善,不思惡,正恁麼時,那個是明上座本來面目?」好的你也不要想,壞的你也不要想,正在這個時候,如何是明上座的本來面目?看!(做厲聲喝狀)惠明大師被六祖大師這麼一問,即刻就開悟了。開悟後,他還問:「上來密語密意外,還更有密意否?」還有比這個更妙、更祕密的嗎?六祖大師就說:「與汝說者,即非密也。汝若返照,密在汝邊。」這個祕密的在你自性裏邊,我若能說給你的,那就不是密了。
