摩訶止觀 6.182

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [6.182](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.6.182)

復次，智障心中即有三假、四句止觀，信法迴轉，四悉檀巧修，皆例如前說。如是四句即是觀門，若離此四無修觀處。善巧方便，因門而通，得見中道；見中道時，非即四觀。若於一觀得入，餘句即融，不須更修。若未通入，但勤修四句，方便取悟。若執此四，即為所燒，遮壅不通；若無執滯，即是觀無明四句得悟也。

> Furthermore, within the mind \[entangled in\] cognitive hindrances there are the three provisionalities, the calming and contemplation of the four propositions, faith-directed and Dharma-directed rotation, and skillful cultivation through the four siddhāntas, all following the pattern of what was explained before. Such four propositions are themselves the gateway of contemplation; apart from these four, there is no place to cultivate contemplation. By skillful means, accessing through the gateway, one penetrates and comes to see the middle way; when seeing the middle way, it is not identical to the four contemplations. If one gains entry through a single contemplation, the remaining propositions instantly blend, with no need to cultivate them further. If one has not yet penetrated and entered, one must simply cultivate the four propositions diligently and grasp awakening through skillful means. If one clings to these four, one will be burned by them, obstructed, blocked, and unable to penetrate; if one is free from clinging and stagnation, then contemplating the four propositions of avidyā, one attains awakening.
