摩訶止觀 5.284

5.284

若起單見，用止觀四句逐體破之。若避單入複，避複入具，避具入絕言，無趣薳起，止觀逐之，無遠不屆，常寂常照，治之不休。如金剛刀，所擬皆斷，取悟為期。能如是觀，雖不發真，諸見被伏，成方便五陰。若得入空，眾見消盡。故初果所破，如竭四十里水，功夫甚大。恐聞者生疑，略斷三結，餘殘不盡，如一渧水。思雖未盡，見已無餘。從多為言，亦得明破法遍也。

If simple views arise, use the four propositions of calming and contemplation to pursue their essence and refute them. If one avoids the simple and enters the compound, avoids the compound and enters the complete, or avoids the complete and enters the ineffable, arising erratically without aim, calming and contemplation pursues them, reaching everywhere no matter how far, ever tranquil and ever illuminating, remedying them without rest. Like a vajra blade, whatever it aims at is severed, setting realization as the goal. If one can contemplate in this way, even if one does not manifest the true, the various views will be subdued, constituting the five aggregates of skillful means. If one succeeds in entering emptiness, the myriad views will be completely extinguished. Therefore, what is refuted by the first fruit is like draining forty li of water; the effort is immense. For fear that listeners might harbor doubt, it is [said that he] briefly severs three fetters, with the remaining residue unexhausted like a single drop of water. Although [delusions of] thought are not yet exhausted, views are already without remainder. Speaking in terms of the majority, one may also clarify that the refutation of phenomena is pervasive.
