摩訶止觀 7.9

7.9

今當以橫織竪檢校通塞。如從假入空破諸見思，單、複、具足、無言等見，九九八十一思。如斯諸惑本是污穢，增長煩惱遮塞行人，那忽取著謂是謂非？起諸結業漏落生死，唯見苦集不見道滅。既不識見思中四諦，是事不知，名為「無明」，乃至老死。但構因緣，無明不滅。不滅故，堅著叵捨，唯在此岸，不到彼岸。《大經》云：「童子飢時取糞中果，智人呵之，赧然有愧。」失於淨法，是名為「塞」。若於諸見，介爾起心，知無性實、無常、無主；倒破則無業，無業則無果，是名為「道」，道故有滅。若識四諦，則無無明，亦無老死。因緣壞故，則捨諸有到於彼岸。當用此意歷一一心、歷一一能、歷一一所。若起三塞，破之令通；若是三通，養令成就。

Now one should weave the horizontal into the vertical to examine obstruction and opening. As in entering emptiness from provisionality to break through the various views and thoughts: the simple, compound, complete, and ineffable views, and the nine times nine, eighty-one thoughts. Such afflictions are fundamentally defiled; they increase afflictions and obstruct practitioners—how could one abruptly cling to them, asserting this or denying that? They give rise to defiling karma, causing one to fall into birth-and-death; one perceives only suffering and origination and does not perceive path and cessation. Since one does not recognize the four truths within views and thoughts, not knowing this matter is called "avidyā," down to old age and death. Only constructing conditioned arising, avidyā is not extinguished. Because it is not extinguished, one clings firmly and cannot let go, remaining only on this shore and not reaching the other shore. The Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra says: "When a child is hungry, he takes fruit from within dung; a wise person scolds him, and he is ashamed and remorseful." Losing the pure Dharma is called "obstruction." If toward various views, the mind momentarily arises, knowing they have no svabhāva or reality, are impermanent, and have no master; when inversions are broken, there is no karma, and without karma there is no fruit—this is called the "path," and because of the path there is cessation. If one recognizes the four truths, there is no avidyā, nor is there old age and death. Because conditioned arising is dismantled, one renounces all existences and arrives at the other shore. One should apply this intention through each and every mind, through each and every subjective capacity, and through each and every objective realm. If the three obstructions arise, break them to make them open; if these are the three openings, nurture them to bring them to completion.
