1.18

普賢問意云:覺性本圓,一切如幻。幻空無體,誰曰修行?如其不修,何因證覺?佛說因起幻智以除諸幻,幻盡智泯覺心圓明。然今唯說空幻者,溺在無修。修習之徒縛於有得,良由悟修之意似反而符,故最難明,理須決擇。

Samantabhadra's intended question states: 'The nature of enlightenment is fundamentally complete, and everything is like an illusion. Illusions are empty and devoid of substance—who then speaks of practice? If one does not cultivate practice, by what cause does one realize enlightenment?' The Buddha explained that dependent on the arising of illusory wisdom, all illusions are eliminated; when illusions are exhausted, wisdom vanishes, and the mind of enlightenment is completely luminous. However, those who nowadays speak solely of emptiness and illusion drown in non-cultivation, while practitioners bind themselves to having attainment. Truly, because the meanings of awakening and cultivation appear contradictory yet coincide, they are most difficult to comprehend, and their principles must be determined.
