二、約菩薩住不思智。「住不思議之智」等者,若非初心解了一念具足三千,咸空假中、自他互遍者,分真實慧從何開發?寄言來學,宜加用心。昔會稽太守孟顗事佛精懇,謝公謂之曰:「得道應須慧業,丈人生天應在靈運前、成佛必在靈運後。」顗深恨之。是故一日三捨其身,不如受持四句者,秖由慧業能出生死也。既逢祕要,宜在修心,無誦空言奢夸圓妙,鸚鵡學語為益且疎。
Second, with respect to bodhisattvas abiding in inconceivable wisdom. Regarding "abiding in the wisdom of the inconceivable" and so forth: if the initial mind does not understand that a single thought is replete with the three thousand, all being empty, provisional, and middle, mutually pervading self and other, from what could fractional true wisdom develop? Directing my words to future students: you should apply your minds diligently. In the past, the Governor of Kuaiji, Meng Yi, served the Buddha with meticulous sincerity. Lord Xie said to him: "Attaining the Way must require the karma of wisdom. Your Honour's birth in heaven should be before Lingyun, but attaining Buddhahood will certainly be after Lingyun." Yi deeply resented this. Therefore, abandoning one's body three times a day is not as good as upholding four lines, simply because the karma of wisdom is able to transcend birth and death. Having encountered the secret essentials, you should apply yourselves to cultivating the mind; do not merely recite empty words to boast grandly of the perfect and wondrous, for like a parrot mimicking speech, the benefit will be quite remote.
