摩訶止觀 5.149

5.149

又善男子！智者識怨，怨不能害；武將有謀，能破強敵。非風何以卷雲？非雲何以遮熱？非水何以滅火？非火何以除闇？析薪之斧，解縛之刀，豈過智慧？善巧方便，種種緣喻，廣讚於觀，使其破惡。是名「對治以觀安心」。

“Furthermore, good man! A wise person recognizes an enemy, and the enemy cannot harm him; a warrior general has strategy, and he can shatter a strong foe. Without wind, how can clouds be rolled away? Without clouds, how can heat be shielded? Without water, how can fire be extinguished? Without fire, how can darkness be removed? An axe to chop wood, a knife to untie bonds—how could anything surpass wisdom?” With skillful means and various causes and parables, one extensively praises contemplation, causing him to shatter evil. This is called “calming the mind by contemplating in accordance with antidote.”
