起信論疏筆削記 20.32

20.32

然今有人不審利害，於兩土察因緣之勝劣，說空行有，數寶受貧，往往窮理以無西，沈空而謗教，信鄙俚於後代，非方便於先覺。恃己為是，何是之有？謂我情忘，何情之忘？及乎讚喜謗瞋，惑之盛矣！殊不知存我入覺，覺思遠焉，而罔信安養為息肩脫屣之地者，吾為之傷之，弗能已也。

Yet today there are those who do not examine the advantages and harms, and who fail to discern the superiority and inferiority of causes and conditions regarding the two lands; speaking of emptiness while acting on existence, counting others' treasures while suffering poverty themselves, they often take their reasoning to the extreme to deny the West, sinking into emptiness and slandering the teaching, placing their trust in the vulgar opinions of later generations while rejecting the expedients of the awakened of the past. Relying on themselves as correct, what correctness is there? Saying they have forgotten their sentiments, what sentiments have they forgotten? When it comes to praise they rejoice, and when it comes to slander they anger—how great their delusion! They fail to realize that to retain the self while trying to enter awakening makes awakening thoughts all the more distant; and as for their failure to believe that Sukhāvatī is a place to rest one's shoulders and take off one's shoes, I am grieved by this and cannot refrain [from speaking].
