修習止觀坐禪法要 1.148

1.148

行者既覺知魔事，即當却之。却法有二：一者、修止却之。凡見一切外諸惡魔境，悉知虛誑，不憂不怖，亦不取不捨，妄計分別。息心寂然，彼自當滅。二者、修觀却之。若見如上所說種種魔境，用止不去，即當反觀能見之心，不見處所，彼何所惱？如是觀時，尋當滅謝。若遲遲不去，但當正心，勿生懼想，不惜軀命，正念不動。知魔界如即佛界如，若魔界如、佛界如，一如無二如。如是了知，則魔界無所捨，佛界無所取，佛法自當現前，魔境自然消滅。

Once the practitioner has recognized these demonic affairs, they should immediately repel them. There are two methods of repelling: First, repelling them through cultivating calming. Whenever seeing any external evil demonic state, know them all to be false and deceptive; do not sorrow and do not fear, nor grasp nor abandon them with delusive calculation and discrimination. Still the mind in serene quietude, and they will naturally vanish of themselves. Second, repelling them through cultivating contemplation. If, upon seeing the various demonic states described above, they do not depart through calming, one should then turn contemplation back upon the mind that is able to see: seeing no location for it, what is there to be afflicted? When contemplating in this way, they will vanish shortly. If they are slow to depart, simply correct the mind, do not give rise to thoughts of fear, do not spare body or life, and remain unmoved in correct mindfulness. Know that the suchness of the realm of Māra is itself the suchness of the Buddha realm; if the realm of Māra is suchness and the Buddha realm is suchness, there is one suchness and not two suchnesses. When understood in this way, there is nothing to abandon in the realm of Māra and nothing to grasp in the Buddha realm; the Buddha-Dharma will naturally appear, and demonic states will naturally dissolve and vanish.
