四明尊者教行錄 1.134

1.134

諸佛子！我今更為汝說十二因緣甚深妙法，願承三寶力，令汝一一了知。此十二法，體是三德大般涅槃，而汝迷故翻為三道，三世因果輪轉不息。我今為汝先唱十二因緣生相，次唱十二因緣滅相，願汝達此生滅之法當處即是不生不滅，當處究竟、當處清淨、當處自在，一究竟一切究竟、一清淨一切清淨、一自在一切自在，同於諸佛證大涅槃。（大眾同聲唱云）所謂無明緣行，行緣識，識緣名色，名色緣六入，六入緣觸，觸緣受，受緣愛，愛緣取，取緣有，有緣生，生緣老死憂悲苦惱（此是因緣生相。再聽因緣滅相）。所謂無明滅則行滅，行滅則識滅，識滅則名色滅，名色滅則六入滅，六入滅則觸滅，觸滅則受滅，受滅則愛滅，愛滅則取滅，取滅則有滅，有滅則生滅，生滅則老死憂悲苦惱滅。

Disciples of the Buddha! I now further expound for you the profound and wondrous Dharma of the twelve links of dependent origination; may you, relying on the power of the Three Jewels, understand each and every one. The essence of these twelve phenomena is the three virtues of the great mahāparinirvāṇa; yet because you are deluded, they turn instead into the three paths, and the cause and effect of the three periods of time wheel around without ceasing. I will now first chant the aspect of arising of the twelve links of dependent origination for you, and next chant the aspect of cessation of the twelve links of dependent origination. May you thoroughly realize that these phenomena of arising and cessation are right where they are neither arising nor ceasing, right where they are ultimate, right where they are pure, and right where they are sovereign: when one is ultimate all are ultimate, when one is pure all are pure, and when one is sovereign all are sovereign, together with all Buddhas realizing the great nirvāṇa. (The assembly chants in unison:) Namely, ignorance conditions volitional formations; volitional formations condition consciousness; consciousness conditions name-and-form; name-and-form conditions the six sense bases; the six sense bases condition contact; contact conditions feeling; feeling conditions craving; craving conditions grasping; grasping conditions becoming; becoming conditions birth; birth conditions old age, death, worry, sorrow, suffering, and distress. (This is the aspect of arising through dependent origination. Next, listen to the aspect of cessation through dependent origination.) Namely, from the cessation of ignorance comes the cessation of volitional formations; from the cessation of volitional formations comes the cessation of consciousness; from the cessation of consciousness comes the cessation of name-and-form; from the cessation of name-and-form comes the cessation of the six sense bases; from the cessation of the six sense bases comes the cessation of contact; from the cessation of contact comes the cessation of feeling; from the cessation of feeling comes the cessation of craving; from the cessation of craving comes the cessation of grasping; from the cessation of grasping comes the cessation of becoming; from the cessation of becoming comes the cessation of birth; and from the cessation of birth comes the cessation of old age, death, worry, sorrow, suffering, and distress.
