釋門歸敬儀 1.58

1.58

昔元魏時，勒那三藏見此敬養，勤惰不倫，便出七種禮佛法文，極繁委廣，如後明然。凡所作業，三性為宗，一俯一仰，非心不就。心必依緣，緣通內外；不起則已，起必性收。善惡兩性，作業感生；無記之緣，多歸癡種。種雖無記，亦有善惡，夢業受生，如《論》具引。是知捨受昏蒙，難為醒決，故當臨事籌理，必不陷溺清心。

In the past, during the Northern Wei, Tripiṭaka Master Ratnamati saw that this veneration and offering was inconsistent in diligence and laxity, and thereupon set forth the text on the seven kinds of rites for bowing to the Buddha, which was extremely detailed and extensive, as will be clarified below. In whatever action is performed, the three natures are the principle: a single bending down or looking up is not accomplished without the mind. The mind must rely on conditions, and conditions encompass both internal and external; if it does not arise, that is all, but if it arises, it must be subsumed under a nature. The two natures of wholesome and unwholesome produce karma and bring about rebirth; conditions of indeterminate nature mostly belong to the seed of delusion. Although indeterminate seeds are [themselves neutral], they also involve the wholesome and unwholesome; karmas in dreams producing rebirth are fully cited as in the treatise. Hence we know that the neutral feeling is dim and obscured, difficult to awaken and determine; therefore, when approaching matters, one must deliberate upon the principle, ensuring that one does not drown the pure mind.
