止觀輔行傳弘決 2.60

2.60

"He knows the colours and characteristics,
scrapes, brushes, and covers sores,
lits smoke, knows luxuriant grass,
peaceful places, and fording points;
knowing the right times, leaves milk behind,
and protects the lead bulls.
The monk is also like this:
he knows the four great elements that make up form,
skillfully distinguishes foolish and wise marks,
scrapes and brushes the six sense faculties,
skillfully covers thoughts of the ten goods,
transmits what he recites as smoke,
the four stations of mindfulness are the luxuriant grass,
the twelve divisions of scriptures are the peaceful places,
the noble eightfold path is the fording point;
not accepting base invitations
is called knowing the proper times;
contentment is leaving milk behind;
reverent protection is guarding well."
