龍舒增廣淨土文 10.6

10.6

佛言「受即是空」。受謂受苦、受樂及一切受用也。如食列數味，放箸即空。出多騶從，既到即空。終日遊觀，既歸即空。又如為善，事既畢，其勤勞即空，而善業俱在。為惡，事既畢，其快意即空，而惡業俱在。若深悟此理，則食可菲薄，無過用殺害之冤債；出可隨分，無勞心苦人之煩惱；遊觀可息，無放蕩廢事之愆尤；善根可勉為，無懈怠因循之失；惡可力戒，無恣縱怨讐之罪。予喜得此理，故欲與人共之（及一切受用，即所謂不苦不樂受者是也）。

The Buddha said: "Feeling is immediately empty." "Feeling" refers to feeling suffering, feeling pleasure, and all experiences of consumption. For instance, when food is set out in several flavors, as soon as one lays down the chopsticks, it is empty. When going out with many attendants, once arrived, it is empty. When sightseeing all day, once returned, it is empty. Again, like doing good: once the matter is finished, the toil is immediately empty, yet the wholesome karma remains entirely. Doing evil: once the matter is finished, the gratification is immediately empty, yet the evil karma remains entirely. If one deeply awakens to this principle, food can be frugal, free from the karmic debts of excessive consumption and slaughter; going out can be modest, free from the afflictions of exhausting the mind and distressing others; sightseeing can cease, free from the fault of dissipation and neglecting duties; wholesome roots can be diligently cultivated, free from the errors of indolence and procrastination; and evil can be vigorously avoided, free from the sins of indulgence and enmity. I rejoice in having attained this principle, and therefore wish to share it with others (and all experiences of consumption are precisely what is called neither-painful-nor-pleasant feeling).
