註四十二章經 1.292

1.292

佛言：「吾視王侯之位如塵隙，視金玉之寶如瓦礫，視紈素之服如弊帛，視大千世界如一訶子，視四耨水如塗足油，視方便如筏寶聚，視無上乘如夢金帛，視求佛道如眼前花，視求禪定如須彌柱，視求涅槃如晝夜寤，視倒正者如六龍舞，平視等者如一真地，視興化者如四時木。」

The Buddha said: "I regard the positions of kings and marquises as dust in a sunbeam; I regard treasures of gold and jade as rubble and tiles; I regard garments of fine silk as worn-out rags; I regard the great chiliocosm as a single myrobalan seed; I regard the waters of the four Anavatapta lakes as oil for smearing the feet; I regard expedient means as a raft made of a heap of jewels; I regard the unsurpassed vehicle as brocade and gold in a dream; I regard seeking the Buddha-way as flowers before the eyes; I regard seeking dhyāna as the pillar of Mount Sumeru; I regard seeking nirvāṇa as being awake by day and night; I regard the inverted and the upright as six dragons dancing; I regard the equal and impartial as the ground of single true reality; I regard the flourishing of transformative teaching as the trees of the four seasons."
