修習止觀坐禪法要 1.118

1.118

三、鼻嗅香時修止者。隨所聞香，即知如焰不實，若聞順情之香，不起著心；違情之臭，不起瞋心；非違非順之香，不生亂念，是名修止。云何名聞香中修觀？應作是念：「我今聞香，虛誑無實。所以者何？根塵合故，而生鼻識；次生意識，強取香相。因此則有一切煩惱善惡等法，故名聞香。」反觀聞香之心，不見相貌。當知聞香及一切法，畢竟空寂，是名修觀。

Third, cultivating calming when the nose smells fragrances: Whatever fragrance is smelled, one immediately knows it is unreal like a mirage. If smelling an agreeable fragrance, one does not give rise to attachment; if smelling a disagreeable odor, one does not give rise to anger; if smelling a fragrance that is neither disagreeable nor agreeable, one does not produce confused thoughts. This is called cultivating calming. How is it called cultivating contemplation while smelling fragrances? One should think thus: "The fragrance I now smell is deceptive and without reality. Why is that? Because faculty and object conjoin, nose consciousness arises; next, mental consciousness arises, forcefully seizing the mark of the fragrance. Because of this, there are all defilements, wholesome, unwholesome, and other phenomena; therefore it is termed smelling fragrances." Reflexively contemplating the mind that smells fragrances, one sees no appearance [of it]. One should know that the smelling of fragrances and all phenomena are ultimately empty and tranquil. This is called cultivating contemplation.
