釋摩訶衍論 10.8

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [10.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.10.8)

「『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.'
