### [1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1920.1.10)

團團明月無增減，凡情顛倒見盈虧，  
縱復迴光照西域，於其更理未曾移。  
巧用巧妙巧度物，不作怨家不作佛，  
法身巧用妙難思，借問定從何處出？

> The round, bright moon neither waxes nor wanes,  
> Yet ordinary deluded feelings see fullness and loss.  
> Even if it turns its light to shine upon the Western Regions,  
> In its fundamental principle it has never moved.  
> Skillful in function, wondrous and subtle, skillfully delivering beings,  
> Neither making enemies nor making buddhas;  
> The skillful function of the Dharma-body is wondrous and hard to conceive—  
> May I ask: from where does it ultimately arise?
