釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 8.20

8.20

復次，行者若觀息時，既不得息，即達色、心空寂。何以故？三法不相離故。色心亦爾。若不得色心三事，即不得一切法。所以者何？由此三事和合，能生一切陰、入、界眾苦煩惱，善惡行業，往來五道，流轉不息。若了三事無生，則一切諸法本來空寂。是則略說修習如心之相。

Furthermore, when the practitioner contemplates the breath, since breath is not grasped, they thereby penetrate the emptiness and quiescence of form and mind. Why is this? Because the three phenomena are not separate from one another. The same applies to form and mind. If one cannot grasp the three matters of [breath,] form, and mind, one cannot grasp any phenomenon whatsoever. Why is this? Because it is through the conjunction of these three matters that all the suffering and afflictions of the aggregates, sense fields, and realms, as well as karmic actions good and bad, are produced, coming and going throughout the five destinies in ceaseless transmigration. If one realizes that these three matters are unproduced, then all phenomena are fundamentally empty and quiescent. This is a brief explanation of the characteristics of practicing the mind of suchness.
