新華嚴經論 9.5

9.5

答曰：當見自身，無身無心、無出無沒、無內無外，不動不寂、無思無求，世及出世都無住處，無心所法、無法法無心，心法無依、性無始末，以無依住智說如斯法，教化眾生皆令悟入，是名見佛出興。如〈光明覺品〉文殊師利頌曰「世及出世見，一切皆超越，而能善知法，當成大光曜。若於一切智，發生迴向心，見心無所生，當獲大名稱。眾生無所生，亦復無有壞，若得如是智，當成無上道。一中解無量，無量中解一，了彼互生起，當成無所畏。」前兩行頌明佛出興，後兩行頌明正覺中智。佛出興當知如是，不令眾生取佛出興滅沒之相、見初見末，但見自身、眾生身心無生滅體，是出世間。

Answer: One should see one's own body as without body and without mind, without emerging and without submerging, without inside and without outside, neither moving nor quiescent, without thought and without seeking, having no abiding place in either the mundane or the supramundane, with no mental factors, no dharmas of mind, mind and dharmas having no reliance, their nature having no beginning or end. Expounding such a Dharma with wisdom that has no reliance or abiding, teaching and transforming sentient beings so that all are led to awaken and enter—this is called seeing the Buddha's advent. As Mañjuśrī's verse in the Chapter on the Awakening of Light says:
'Transcending all views, / Both mundane and supramundane, / Yet able to skillfully know dharmas, / One will become a great radiance. / If toward all-knowledge / One gives rise to a mind of dedication, / Seeing that the mind is unproduced, / One will attain great renown. / Sentient beings are unproduced, / Nor are they ever destroyed; / If one attains such wisdom, / One will achieve the unsurpassed path. / In the one, understanding the immeasurable, / In the immeasurable, understanding the one, / Comprehending their mutual arising, / One will become fearless.'
The first two stanzas clarify the Buddha's advent, and the latter two stanzas clarify the wisdom within right awakening. One should know the Buddha's advent in this way; one should not let sentient beings grasp at the marks of the Buddha's appearance and disappearance, seeing a beginning and seeing an end, but merely see that the essence of body and mind of oneself and sentient beings is without arising or ceasing—this is leaving the world.
