注維摩詰經 1.426

1.426

肇曰：夫心直則信固，信固然後能發迹造行。然則始於萬行者，其唯直心乎。此章明行之次漸，微著相因，足以始于直心、終于淨土。譬猶植栽絲髮，其茂百圍也。直心樹其萌，眾行因而成，故言隨也。生曰：前唯明眾行各是淨國之因，而未知所以得也，故次序其意以釋之焉。如是者，謂上諸行如下意也。言任直心之勢，自然能發行眾行。

[Seng]zhao says: When the mind is straightforward, faith is firm; once faith is firm, one can then initiate steps and perform practices. Thus, that which begins the myriad practices is solely the straightforward mind. This chapter explains the stages of practice: the subtle and the manifest cause one another, sufficient to start with the straightforward mind and culminate in the pure land. It is like planting a tiny shoot that grows into a tree of a hundred spans. The straightforward mind plants its sprout, and the manifold practices are accomplished through it; hence it says 'in accordance with.' [Dao]sheng says: Previously it was only explained that each of the manifold practices is a cause for purifying a land, but not how they are attained; hence the sequence of their intention is explained next to elucidate this. 'In this way' refers to the above practices being like the intention below. This means that by relying on the momentum of the straightforward mind, one is naturally able to initiate the manifold practices.
