言一體三寶者,行者既知心性本淨,悟解無邪,名為正覺。覺即佛也。性淨無染,法也;性淨無壅,僧也。今覺於本,名始覺也;本實體淨,名先覺也。如此安心,如此練身,俯仰周循,無念不剋。俗云:「惟狂克念作聖,惟聖罔念作狂。」彼沈俗士尚此放言,豈惟出道翻無此致?都不可也。
As for the Three Jewels of the single essence: When the practitioner comes to know that the mind-nature is fundamentally pure and their awakening and understanding are without deviation, this is called correct enlightenment. Enlightenment is the Buddha. The nature being pure and without defilement is the Dharma; the nature being pure and without obstruction is the Saṅgha. Now, awakening to the fundamental is called initial enlightenment; the fundamental substance being truly pure is called prior enlightenment. Settling the mind like this and training the body like this, in all our actions and comportment, no thought will fail to be overcome. The worldly saying goes: "Only the madman, overcoming his thoughts, becomes a sage; only the sage, failing to heed his thoughts, becomes a madman." If those submerged worldly scholars still uttered such expansive words, how could the transcendent path conversely lack this principle? That would be utterly unacceptable.
