第二十三、動寂自在。問:契夫寂理內外並冥,何能施為更起大用?答:聲聞事寂事外求真,動而非寂;菩薩體理即事而真,動而無動不礙常寂,故不起滅定而現威儀。謹對。

Twenty-third: Freedom in Movement and Quiescence. Question: When one accords with the quiescent principle, internal and external are both obliterated; how can one act and further give rise to great function? Answer: The śrāvaka practices quiescence by seeking truth outside of phenomena; for him, movement is not quiescent. The bodhisattva embodies the principle: phenomena are themselves the truth; moving yet without movement, it does not obstruct constant quiescence. Therefore, without arising from the cessation samādhi, he manifests majestic deportment. Respectfully answered.
