廬山蓮宗寶鑑 3.28

3.28

夫達無心之有心、識有念之無念，有無不住，能所胡存？是則念念圓明、心心虛寂。苟昧斯旨則法法成疣，的契其宗則門門通妙。今可無乖實際而示圓修，俾負重致遠者獲遂於息肩、流浪迷津者速登於彼岸。求生西方，無先念佛觀門者也。予輒為修淨業者，薄採經論大綱，述成西方淨行法門，示彼所修令得其趣。有覩茲文而復不能起信修行者，煩乎狂熱投圊，唯露一髮欲垂拯救，末如之何。

Now, understanding the mindful mind within no-mind, and recognizing the non-thought within thought, neither existence nor non-existence is dwelled upon; how could subject and object remain? Thus thought after thought is perfectly luminous, and mind after mind is empty and quiescent. If one is ignorant of this essential principle, then every dharma becomes a wart; if one truly tallies with its tenet, then every gate opens onto the marvelous. Now, without violating ultimate reality, perfect cultivation can be demonstrated, allowing those carrying heavy loads to distant places to obtain rest for their shoulders, and those drifting in the delusive ford to swiftly ascend to the other shore. In seeking rebirth in the West, nothing precedes the contemplation gate of buddhānusmṛti. For those who cultivate pure karma, I have briefly gathered the broad outlines of the sūtras and treatises to compose the Dharma Gate of Western Pure Practice, demonstrating what they cultivate so that they may attain its purport. For those who behold this text yet are still unable to give rise to faith and practice, in the delirium of madness they leap into a privy, with only a single hair showing, and though one wishes to reach down to save them, there is nothing that can be done.
