摩訶止觀 5.143

5.143

咄！善男子！無量劫來飲狂散毒，馳逐五塵，升沈三界。猶如猛風吹兜羅𣭞；大熱沸鑊煮豆升沈。從苦至惱，從惱至苦，何不息心達本，以一其意？意若一者，何事不辦？苦集得一，則不輪迴；無明得一，不至於行，乃至不至老死。摧折大樹，畢故不造新；六蔽得一，則度彼岸，唯此為快。善巧方便，種種因緣，種種譬喻，廣讚於止，發悅其情。是名「隨樂欲以止安心」也。

“Ah, good man! Throughout immeasurable kalpas you have drunk the poison of wild distraction, chasing after the five sense-objects and rising and sinking in the three realms. It is just like tūla cotton blown by a fierce wind, or beans rising and sinking boiled in a cauldron of boiling heat. From suffering you go to affliction, and from affliction to suffering. Why not quiet the mind to reach the root and make your thought one? If the thought is one, what matter cannot be accomplished? If suffering and origination attain oneness, there is no more samsāra; if avidyā attains oneness, it does not proceed to saṅkhāras, and so forth up to old age and death. Breaking down the great tree, you exhaust the old and do not create the new. If the six obscurations attain oneness, you cross to the other shore; only this is joyous!” With skillful means, various causes and conditions, and various parables, one extensively praises calming, causing his sentiments to rejoice. This is called “calming the mind by pacifying it in accordance with inclination.”
