# 摩訶止觀 7.201

摩訶止觀 7.201

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [7.201](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.7.201)

觀行人亦如是。觀行若明，能歷緣對境觸處得用；若不如是，魔軍何由可破？煩惱重病何由可除？法性深義何由可顯？三事不辦，區區困役，秖是生死凡夫，非為學道方便也。

> Practitioners of contemplation are also like this. If contemplative practice is clear, one can apply it everywhere across conditions and objects. If not, how can the army of Māra be destroyed? How can the severe illness of afflictions be removed? How can the profound meaning of dharmatā be revealed? If these three matters are not accomplished, struggling in futile toil, one is merely an ordinary person in birth and death, not possessing the expedient means for studying the path.
