釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 8.19

8.19

次觀心如。行者當知由有心故，則有身色、去來、動轉。若無此心，誰分別色？色因誰生？諦觀此心藉緣而有，生滅迅速，不見住處，亦無相貌，但有名字，名字亦空，即達心如。行者若不得三性別異，名為如心。

Next is contemplating the mind as suchness. The practitioner should know that because the mind exists, there are bodily form, coming and going, moving and turning. If this mind did not exist, who would differentiate form, and on what would form arise? Attentively contemplating this mind, one sees that it exists dependent on conditions, rapidly arising and ceasing, with no place of abiding seen and no marks or appearance; it exists merely as a name, and that name is also empty; this is penetrating the suchness of the mind. If the practitioner finds no distinction among the three natures, this is called “mind as suchness.”
