2.54

正中來者太過也,全身獨露,萬法根源,無咎無譽。偏中至者中孚也,隨物不礙,木舟中虛虛通自在。正中偏者巽也,虛空破片,處處圓通,根塵寂爾。偏中正者兌也,水月鏡像本無生滅,豈有蹤跡。兼中到者重離也,正不必虛,偏不必實,無背無向。又曰,心機泯,色空忘,更無覆藏,全體露現,是曰正中偏。山是山,水是水,無人安名,無物比倫,是曰偏中正。淨躶躶,赤洒洒,面目堂堂,盡天盡地,獨尊無二,是曰正中來。宛如寰中天子,不借禹湯堯舜令,眼見耳聞,終不借他力,耳之不入聲中,聲之不塞耳根,裏頭才轉身。塵中未帶名,是曰兼中至。不是心、不是境,不是事、不是理,從來離名狀,天真忘性相,是曰兼中到。

"Coming from within the correct" is excessive; the whole body is exposed alone, the source of the ten thousand dharmas, without blame and without praise. "Arriving within the biased" is Zhongfu; following things without obstruction, a wooden boat hollow inside, freely penetrating and at ease. "The biased within the correct" is Xun; shattered pieces of empty space, everywhere completely penetrating, roots and dusts serene. "The correct within the biased" is Dui; the moon in the water and the image in the mirror originally have no arising and ceasing, how could they leave traces? "Attaining within the integrated" is double Li; the correct need not be empty, the biased need not be real, neither turning away nor facing toward. Moreover, it is said: When the mind's contrivance is obliterated and form and emptiness are forgotten, with nothing further hidden or concealed, the entire body revealed—this is called the biased within the correct. Mountains are mountains, waters are waters, with no one assigning names and no thing to compare—this is called the correct within the biased. Pure and naked, stark and clear, features grand and dignified, exhausting heaven and exhausting earth, solitary and honored without double—this is called coming from within the correct. Just like the Son of Heaven within the realm, not borrowing the decrees of Yu, Tang, Yao, or Shun; eyes seeing and ears hearing, ultimately never borrowing another's strength; ears not entering into sounds, sounds not blocking the ear-root, within it one just turns the body; within the dust not yet bearing a name—this is called reaching within the integrated. It is not mind, not realm, not phenomenon, not principle; from the beginning transcending name and description, naturally genuine and forgetting nature and marks—this is called attaining within the integrated.
