釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 2.110

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.110](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.2.110)

如人在岐道，疑惑無所取，  
諸法實相中，疑亦復如是。  
疑故不勤求，諸法之實相，  
是疑從癡生，惡中之惡者。  
善不善法中，生死及涅槃，  
定實真有法，於中莫生疑。  
汝若懷疑惑，死生獄吏縛，  
如師子搏鹿，不能得解脫。  
在世雖有疑，當隨妙善法，  
譬如觀岐道，利好者應逐。

> “Just as a person at a fork in the road  
> Is bewildered and takes neither path,  
> So too is doubt  
> With regard to the true nature of all dharmas.  
> Because of doubt, one does not diligently seek  
> The true nature of all dharmas;  
> This doubt is born of delusion,  
> The worst of all evils.  
> Among wholesome and unwholesome dharmas,  
> Birth-and-death and nirvāṇa,  
> There are definitively real and true dharmas;  
> Do not give rise to doubt about them.  
> If you harbor doubt and bewilderment,  
> You will be bound by the wardens of birth, death, and hell,  
> Like a deer seized by a lion,  
> Unable to attain liberation.  
> Though one may have doubts while in the world,  
> One should follow the wondrous and wholesome Dharma;  
> Just as when looking at a fork in the road,  
> One should pursue the path that is beneficial and good.”
