摩訶止觀 9.123

9.123

安忍者：觀十界因緣，當起種種遮道法，所謂三障、四魔種種違順。業、魔、禪、二乘、菩薩行行等法，皆從行、有兩支起。若能安忍，即能成就如來行、有功德，所謂六根清淨之報相也。煩惱障發者：所謂貪、瞋、邪計、深利諸見、慢、二乘、通、別、三藏等菩薩慧行等，悉是無明、愛、取支中發。若能了達安忍，則開佛知見。報障發者：所謂種種陰界入、種種八風、種種病患，即是七支中發。若知即是佛性，不動轉取捨，猶如虛空，是則不斷生死而入涅槃，不破壞陰入而顯真實法身也。能如是通達，則於三障無礙。住忍辱地，柔和善順而不卒暴，心亦不驚，是名「安忍心成」。如聲聞若住忍法，終不退作五逆闡提；菩薩住堪忍地，終不起障道重罪也。

Patient acceptance: when contemplating the dependent origination of the ten realms, various dharmas obstructing the path will arise—namely, the three obstacles and the four māras, various adverse and favourable conditions. Dharmas such as karma, māra, dhyāna, the two vehicles, and the bodhisattva practices all arise from the two links of formations and becoming. If one can patiently accept them, one will accomplish the merits of the Tathāgata's formations and becoming—namely, the rewarded marks of the purification of the six sense faculties. The arising of the obstacle of defilements: greed, anger, false reckonings, deep and sharp views, arrogance, the two vehicles, and the wisdom practices of the bodhisattvas of the shared, distinctive, and Tripiṭaka teachings all arise from the links of avidyā, craving, and grasping. If one can comprehend and patiently accept them, one will open the Buddha's knowledge and vision. The arising of the obstacle of retribution: the various aggregates, realms, and entrances, the various eight winds, and various illnesses all arise from the seven links. If one knows they are themselves the Buddha-nature, unmoving and without grasping or rejecting, just like empty space, then without severing saṃsāra one enters nirvāṇa, and without destroying the aggregates and entrances one reveals the true dharmakāya. Being able to penetrate thus, one is unobstructed regarding the three obstacles. Abiding in the stage of patience, gentle, good, and compliant, without rashness or violence, the mind is also not startled—this is called the 'accomplishment of the patient mind'. Just as when a śrāvaka abides in the dharma of patience, they will never fall back into committing the five heinous deeds or becoming an icchantika; so when a bodhisattva abides in the stage of forbearance, they will never give rise to grave offenses obstructing the path.
