廬山蓮宗寶鑑 2.98

2.98

心法微微猶未遣，應知情盡始除根，
貼肉汗衫既未脫，纖塵猶礙大乾坤。
非橫非竪理偏宜，三觀澄心進莫疑，
一力未能超彼岸，依然還落聖賢機。

The subtle dharmas of mind have not yet been dispelled;
one should know that only when sentiment is exhausted are roots eradicated.
Since the undershirt hugging the flesh has not yet been removed,
a minute speck of dust still obstructs the great cosmos.
Neither horizontal nor vertical, the principle is exceptionally fitting;
clarifying the mind in the three contemplations, advance without doubt.
If one's single strength cannot yet cross to the other shore,
one still falls back into the capacity of the sages and worthies.
