修習止觀坐禪法要 1.119

1.119

四、舌受味時修止者。隨所受味，即知如於夢幻中得味。若得順情美味，不起貪著；違情惡味，不起瞋心；非違非順之味，不起分別意想，是名修止。云何名舌受味時修觀？應作是念：「今所受味，實不可得。所以者何？內外六味，性無分別。因內舌根和合，則舌識生。次生意識，強取味相。因此則有一切煩惱善惡等法。」反觀緣味之識，不見相貌。當知受味者及一切法，畢竟空寂，是名修觀。

Fourth, cultivating calming when the tongue receives tastes: Whatever taste is experienced, one immediately knows it is like experiencing taste in a dream or illusion. If obtaining an agreeable fine taste, one does not give rise to greed and attachment; if obtaining a disagreeable bad taste, one does not give rise to anger; if obtaining a taste that is neither disagreeable nor agreeable, one does not give rise to discriminating thoughts. This is called cultivating calming. How is it called cultivating contemplation when the tongue receives tastes? One should think thus: "The taste experienced now is truly ungraspable. Why is that? The six internal and external tastes have no nature of discrimination. Because the internal tongue faculty conjoins [with them], tongue consciousness arises. Next, mental consciousness arises, forcefully seizing the mark of the taste. Because of this, there are all defilements, wholesome, unwholesome, and other phenomena." Reflexively contemplating the consciousness that conditions tastes, one sees no appearance [of it]. One should know that the receiver of taste and all phenomena are ultimately empty and tranquil. This is called cultivating contemplation.
