摩訶止觀 5.161

5.161

樂寂者，如妄從心出，息心則眾妄皆靜。若欲照知，須知心原。心原不二，則一切諸法皆同虛空。是為「隨樂欲自行安心」。其心雖廣分別心及諸法，而信念精進毫善不生，即當凝停莫動；諸善功德因靜而生。若凝停時，薳更沈寂都無進忍，當校計籌量，策之令起。若念念不住如汗馬奔逸，即當以止對治馳蕩。若靜默無記與睡相應，即當修觀破諸昏塞。修止既久，不能開發，即應修觀；觀一切法無礙無異，怗怗明利，漸覺如空。修觀若久，闇障不除，宜更修止；止諸緣念，無能、無所，所我皆寂，空慧將生。是為自修法行八番善巧布厝令得心安（云云）。

Regarding one who delights in quiescence: just as delusions arise from the mind, when the mind is calmed, all delusions become quiet. If one wishes to illuminate and know, one must know the source of the mind. When the source of the mind is non-dual, all phenomena are identical to empty space. This is called 'settling the mind in self-cultivation in accordance with one's inclinations and desires'. Although one's mind broadly discriminates the mind and all phenomena, if no fine measure of goodness such as faith, mindfulness, or vigor arises, one should immediately bring it to a still stop without moving; all good qualities and virtues are born due to quiescence. When brought to a still stop, if it sinks further into stupor and quiescence with no endurance of progress at all, one should calculate and deliberate, urging it to arise. If thought-moment after thought-moment it does not abide, like a sweating horse galloping away, one should immediately use calming to counter its wandering and surging. If it is silent and morally indeterminate, corresponding with sleep, one should immediately cultivate contemplation to break through all dullness and obstruction. When, having cultivated calming for long, it cannot open up, one should immediately cultivate contemplation; contemplating all phenomena as unobstructed and non-distinct, calmly clear and sharp, one gradually perceives them to be like emptiness. If one cultivates contemplation for long and dark hindrances are not removed, it is proper to cultivate calming again; calming all conditioned thoughts, with neither agent nor object, both object and self become quiet, and empty wisdom is about to arise. This is the eightfold skillful arrangement for settling one's mind in self-cultivation by a practitioner of Dharma (and so on).
