汾陽無德禪師語錄 3.31

3.31

修多羅藏，諸佛奧旨，示生滅門，釋無生理，直指心源，敷第一義，截偽續真，授人天記，意出有無，行過籌計。言不拘，理不制，正顯無功亡漸次，八萬四千諸度門，祇為迷徒多巧偽。有邪諦，無真智，立正摧邪二俱祕，大聖無功一切通，三毒不生佛出世。此箇經，信有幾？毘盧藏內貫花偈，是經常在一塵中，大智之人能普濟。釋梵護，天龍喜，惡鬼脩羅恭敬禮，更有千邪百怪來，聞說此經皆䠒跪。真實經，離文字，演波羅蜜普周備，化相能開方便門，總攝多般都一智。眼絕見，耳絕聽，六用如空不相閉，萬象森羅夢裏塵，誰人肯向夢中睡。素怛囕，明有記，摩怛哩迦依了義，清淨無生解脫根，雜念盡為煩惱抵。淨尸羅，遮俗世，毘尼木叉親自製，波離不識比丘元，無垢始明心地契。報君知，須審細，一種談經明解義，河沙曠劫歷微塵，不識茲經長日醉。解空人，祖佛位，剖出眾生根本智，利他自利化無邊，妄斷攀緣成大士。勸人天，聽了義，直出輪回生死際，當處無心空不生，永棄斷常能所地，緣起無因不強名，只箇圓音勝一切，分明為報道中人，勤讀此經長莫廢。復云：「作麼生得不廢去？」

The treasury of sūtras, the profound purport of all Buddhas, / Shows the gate of arising and ceasing, explains the principle of the unarisen, / Points directly to the mind-source, sets forth the supreme truth, / Cuts off the false and continues the true, confers predictions on humans and devas; / Its intention transcends existence and non-existence, its practice goes beyond calculation. / Words do not bind it, principles do not restrict it; / It directly reveals effortless action and extinguishes gradual stages. / The eighty-four thousand gates of all perfections / Are merely because deluded followers have many crafty deceits. / There are perverse truths, devoid of true wisdom; / Establishing the orthodox and destroying the perverse are both kept hidden. / The Great Sage is without effort and penetrates all; / When the three poisons do not arise, a Buddha appears in the world. / For this sūtra, how many believe in it? / The flower-garland verses within the Vairocana treasury— / This sūtra is ever present within a single dust mote; / People of great wisdom can universally save others with it. / Śakra and Brahmā protect it; devas and dragons rejoice; / Evil ghosts and asuras bow in respectful homage. / Moreover, when thousands of perversities and hundreds of anomalies come, / Hearing this sūtra preached, they all kneel on their haunches. / The true sūtra is free from written words; / Expounding the pāramitās, it is universally complete. / Manifested forms can open the gate of expedient means; / Subsuming the many varieties, they are all one single wisdom. / The eye ceases seeing; the ear ceases hearing; / The six functions are like space, not obstructing one another. / The myriad forms and dense array are dust within a dream; / Who would be willing to sleep within a dream? / The sūtras clearly have predictions; / The mātṛkās rely on the definitive meaning. / Pure and unarisen, the root of liberation; / Random thoughts all resist affliction. / Pure śīla fences off the worldly realm; / The vinaya-mokṣa was personally instituted [by the Buddha]. / Upāli did not know the origin of the monk; / Only Vimalakīrti clearly understood the accord with the mind-ground. / I inform you: you must examine minutely! / Although speaking on sūtras and clearly explaining their meaning / Through kalpas like river sands, passing through dust motes, / If you do not recognize this sūtra, you are drunk through the long day. / One who understands emptiness sits in the position of Buddhas and patriarchs, / Splitting open the fundamental wisdom of sentient beings; / Benefiting others and benefiting oneself, transforming without bound, / Delusion ceases, conditions are severed, and one becomes a Great Being. / I urge humans and devas to listen to the definitive meaning, / To go straight out of the bounds of saṃsāra and birth-and-death: / In this very place, mind is absent, and emptiness does not arise; / Forever abandoning the grounds of annihilation, permanence, subject, and object. / Dependent origination has no cause; do not force names upon it. / Just this single round voice surpasses all. / Clearly I announce to the people within the Way: / Diligently read this sūtra, and never discard it.
He further said: "How can one manage not to discard it?"
