首楞嚴義疏注經 8.414

8.414

「一者開聽，聽種種鬧，精神愗亂；二者閉聽，寂無所聞，幽魄沈沒。如是聞波，注聞則能為責、為詰；注見則能為雷、為吼、為惡毒氣；注息則能為雨、為霧，灑諸毒虫周滿身體；注味則能為膿、為血種種雜穢；注觸則能為畜、為鬼、為糞、為尿；注意則能為電、為雹摧碎心魄。」

"First, hearing opened: one hears all manner of clamour, and the spirit is dazed and disordered. Second, hearing closed: silently there is nothing heard, and the subtle soul sinks down. As these waves of hearing flow into hearing, they can become reprimands and cross-examinations; flowing into sight, they can become thunder, roaring, and noxious poisonous fumes; flowing into the breath, they can become rain and mist, showering toxic insects all over the body; flowing into taste, they can become pus, blood, and all sorts of filthy defilements; flowing into touch, they can become beasts, ghosts, faeces, and urine; flowing into the mind, they can become lightning and hail, crushing and shattering the mind and soul."
