觀心論疏 1.41

1.41

偈云：「稽首十方佛，深慈觀心者，勸善諦觀察，發正覺妙樂。」此一偈歸請於佛。然三寶者，皆具足四無量心，但慈能與樂，佛慈最重，故請與樂也。偈云：「稽首十方法，深悲觀心者，勸善諦觀察，得真法免苦。」然悲能拔苦，而法寶是真妙藥，體能救苦，故請法深悲觀心者免苦也。偈云：「稽首十方僧，若能善觀察，入大和合海，歡喜心無量。」然僧名和合，即是隨喜不乖之義，故就僧論歡喜也。偈云：「稽首龍樹師，願加觀心者，令速得解脫，亦加捨三心。」然龍樹正破執、除見而興，故請龍樹加捨慈悲喜之三心、見愛之著也。又宗本於龍樹，故請加也。

The verse states: 'I bow my head to the Buddhas of the ten directions: / with deep benevolence toward mind-contemplators, / exhort them to observe carefully with goodness, / and give rise to the wondrous bliss of correct awakening.' This single stanza is an entreaty taking refuge in the Buddha. Now, the Three Jewels are all fully endowed with the four immeasurables; yet benevolence is able to bestow joy, and the Buddha's benevolence is the weightiest; therefore, he entreats him to bestow joy. The verse states: 'I bow my head to the Dharma of the ten directions: / with deep compassion toward mind-contemplators, / exhort them to observe carefully with goodness, / to attain the true Dharma and escape suffering.' Now, compassion is able to eradicate suffering, and the Dharma jewel is the true, wondrous medicine whose substance is capable of rescuing from suffering; therefore, he entreats the Dharma, with deep compassion toward mind-contemplators, to free them from suffering. The verse states: 'I bow my head to the Saṅgha of the ten directions: / if they are able to observe well, / they will enter the great ocean of harmony, / with immeasurable rejoicing in their minds.' Now, the name 'Saṅgha' means harmony, which is the meaning of sympathetic joy without discordance; therefore, joy is discussed in reference to the Saṅgha. The verse states: 'I bow my head to Master Nāgārjuna: / may you empower mind-contemplators / to quickly attain liberation, / and also empower them to let go of the three minds.' Now, Nāgārjuna arose precisely to shatter graspings and eliminate views; therefore, he entreats Nāgārjuna to grant the letting go of the three minds of benevolence, compassion, and sympathetic joy, as well as attachments to views and affection. Furthermore, since the lineage is rooted in Nāgārjuna, he entreats his empowerment.
