釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 4.104

4.104

是故魔名殺者，復名華箭，亦並名五箭，射五情故。一情中有三種境，對情而惱行者，五情合有十五種境。色中三者：一、順情色，或作父母、兄弟、諸佛形像、端正男女可愛之境，令人心著；二、色中違者，或作虎、狼、師子、羅剎之形，種種可畏像來怖行者；三、色中非違非順者，但作平品之形色，亦不令人生愛，亦不令人生怖，皆能動亂人心，令失禪定，故名為魔。餘諸情中，亦當如是分別，但約塵相有異。行者若不別諸邪偽，則為所壞，狂亂作罪，裸形無恥，起種種過，破他善事，毀損三寶，非可具說，或時得病致死，必須慎之，善加覺識。

Therefore Māra is called 'killer,' and is also called 'flower-arrow,' as well as 'five arrows,' because it shoots at the five sense faculties. Within each single faculty there are three kinds of objects that confront the faculty to trouble the practitioner, so the five faculties together have fifteen kinds of objects. Among the three in visible form: first, forms favorable to feelings, such as transforming into the forms of parents, siblings, images of Buddhas, or handsome men and women, desirable objects that make the person's mind attached; second, forms adverse to feelings, such as transforming into the forms of tigers, wolves, lions, or rākṣasas, various fearsome images coming to terrify the practitioner; third, forms neither adverse nor favorable to feelings, merely assuming ordinary shapes and colors that neither cause one to give rise to love nor cause one to give rise to fear, all of which are able to agitate the human mind and cause one to lose dhyāna-concentration; hence it is called māra. In the remaining faculties, distinction should also be made in this way, differing only according to the aspects of the sense objects. If the practitioner does not distinguish these deceptions and falsities, he will be ruined by them, becoming crazed and committing transgressions, stripping naked without shame, giving rise to manifold faults, destroying the wholesome deeds of others, and defaming and damaging the Three Jewels beyond full description, or sometimes contracting disease leading to death. One must be cautious and skillfully apply awareness.
