廬山蓮宗寶鑑 6.29

6.29

"Bodhi is brought forth without bringing forth; / The Buddha-Way is sought through having nothing to seek. / Wondrous function acts through non-action; / True wisdom operates through non-operation. / Arousing compassion, one realizes identical substance; / Practicing benevolence, one penetrates deeply into the unconditioned. / Giving without anything given; / Keeping precepts fully without anything kept. / Cultivating vigor without anything arising; / Practicing patience, understanding that nothing is harmed. / Prajñā realizes that objects are unborn; / Dhyāna knows that the mind does not abide. / Discerning the formless body yet endowed with marks; / Realizing the ineffable yet expounding teachings. / Establishing a bodhimaṇḍa of the water-moon; / Adorning a realm of nature-emptiness. / Displaying illusory offering implements; / Making offerings to the Tathāgata, the Mind-King. / Repenting transgressions whose nature is originally empty; / Beseeching the dharmakāya to abide permanently. / Dedicating merit with nothing at all to attain; / Rejoicing in merit equal to True Suchness. / Praising the emptiness and mystery of other and self; / Making vows capable of practicing equality. / Prostrating before the assembly like shadows appearing; / Walking the path, stepping upon true emptiness. / Burning incense, wonderfully reaching the unconditioned; / Reciting and chanting, deeply penetrating the real mark. / Scattering flowers, revealing complete non-attachment; / Snapping the fingers to signify the removal of dust. / Acting as an echo to open the gate of deliverance; / Cultivating the myriad practices of sky-flowers. / Deeply entering into the condition-arisen Dharma-nature; / Constantly sporting in the dreamlike Dharma-doors. / Vowing to sever untainted worldly defilements; / Vowing to be born in the Mind-only Pure Land. / Treading upon the actual ground of principle; / Entering and exiting the unhindered contemplation gates. / Subduing the mirror-image armies of Māra; / Performing vast Buddha-work within a dream. / Broadly delivering sentient beings like illusory creations; / Together witnessing nirvāṇa and bodhi."
