10.8

「『譬如闕翼鳥,及一輪之車,
一足人同分,闕眼險之馬,
無有高遠翔,隨所應運載,
其道路遊行,不墮惡趣坑。
若具足一輪,闕一輪行者,
亦復如是知,以其實無有。
法性虛空中,乘如量智翔,
入於法藏海,運載義理寶,
真如平道中,周遍通遊行,
一切魔外道,邪見深坑中,
不倒墮坑故。是故諸行者,
兩輪具足轉,終不可捨離。
若有修行者,不具此兩輪,
終不能通達,無上大覺地。』」

'Just as a bird lacking a wing, and a cart with one wheel,
A person of the same category with one foot, a horse lacking eyes on a precipice,
Have no soaring high and far, nor transport as appropriate,
And travelling upon the road, do not escape falling into the pit of bad destinies.
If a practitioner possesses one wheel and lacks one wheel,
Know that it is also like this, because truly they have none.
In the empty space of the dharmatā, soaring on the knowledge conforming to measure,
Entering into the ocean of the treasury of dharmas, transporting the jewels of meaning and principle,
Upon the level path of tathatā, traversing everywhere,
Into the deep pits of the false views of all Māras and heterodox paths,
They do not fall upside down into the pits.
Therefore, all practitioners must turn both wheels fully,
And never abandon them.
If there is a practitioner who does not possess these two wheels,
They will ultimately never penetrate the ground of unsurpassed great awakening.'
