釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 3.116

3.116

復次，是人雖生天人之中，而冥密常係屬魔邪之道，樂近邪師，樂聞邪法，樂行邪道，供養、親近、稱揚、讚歎修邪行者，見有正學三乘之人，不樂親近，或生惱亂，故《法華經》云：「若魔、若魔子、若魔女、若魔民，若為魔所著者。」《大品經》亦云：「若魔天、若魔人。」故知是人雖生人天之中，猶係屬於魔，常起魔業，乃至雖得出家，猶造魔業。故《涅槃經》云：「佛去世後五百歲中，魔道漸興，魔作比丘，壞亂佛法。」亦如《大集經》中廣辯魔業之相，是中應廣分別。如一動觸中邪相如是，餘七觸中亦具有此邪相，應當別知。如根本禪邪相如是，餘十四門禪及諸禪中若事若理，皆有邪偽之法，其事云云，非可具說。

Furthermore, although this person is born among gods or humans, they are secretly and constantly bound to the corrupt paths of Māra: they delight in being close to corrupt teachers, delight in hearing corrupt teachings, and delight in practicing corrupt paths, making offerings to, associating with, praising, and lauding those who cultivate corrupt practices. When they see someone practicing the three vehicles correctly, they do not delight in associating with them, or they create trouble and perturbation. Hence the Lotus Sūtra says: 'Whether Māra, Māra's sons, Māra's daughters, Māra's subjects, or those possessed by Māra.' The Larger Perfection of Wisdom Scripture also says: 'Whether Māra-gods or Māra-humans.' Therefore, one knows that although this person is born among humans or gods, they remain bound to Māra and constantly give rise to Māra's activities; even if they leave household life, they still create Māra's activities. Hence the Nirvāṇa Sūtra says: 'In the five hundred years after the Buddha's passing, the path of Māra will gradually flourish; Māra will become a monk and throw the Buddhadharma into disarray.' Likewise, the Mahāsaṃnipāta Sūtra broadly discerns the signs of Māra's activities; these should be distinguished in detail here. Just as the corrupt signs in the single sensation of movement are like this, the other seven sensations also possess these corrupt signs, and one should discern them. Just as corrupt signs in fundamental dhyāna are like this, in the other fourteen doors of dhyāna and various dhyānas, whether in phenomenal matters or in principle, there are corrupt and counterfeit phenomena; their matters are so varied they cannot be fully expounded.
