4.86

九、念十方佛者,昔服見毒,常無厭足,如渴思飲;又遇惡師,如加以鹹水。以苦捨苦,我慢矜高,諂心不實,於千萬億劫不聞佛名字。今念三諦不來不去即是佛,無生法即是佛,常為諦理所護。此翻破狎惡友心。

Ninth, mindfully recollecting the Buddhas of the ten directions: formerly one drank the poison of views and was never sated, like a thirsty person longing for drink; encountering an evil teacher, it was like being given salt water. Casting off suffering with suffering, conceited with self-pride, and deceitful in mind without sincerity, for thousands of myriads of koṭis of kalpas one did not hear the name of a Buddha. Now one mindfully recollects that the three truths, neither coming nor going, are themselves the Buddha, that non-arising phenomena are themselves the Buddha, and one is constantly protected by the principle of the truths. This overturns and shatters the mindset of being intimate with evil companions.
