汾陽無德禪師語錄 3.35

3.35

The Way of the ancient sovereign is level and broad; / Level and broad, it is ever at ease. / Wisdom and foolishness, / Perverse and correct, become obstructions. / Traveling east, west, south, and north, / Not understanding, one makes deluded interpretations. / When the mind is clear, everything is clear; / When the mind is dark, everything is dark. / The six gates quiet the six supernatural powers; / The three poisons become the three realms. / All are produced from the mental faculty; / There is no need to give rise to deluded interpretations. / Earth, water, fire, and wind: / The four elements are the ancestral generations. / If the ancestral generations are not alert, / The descendants fabricate strange wonders in vain. / The eighty-four thousand gates / Form a tangle into a single mass. / The dense array, sun and moon, are divided, / Accorded with their ranks and not opposed to each other. / Han jade and Hu ice; / In the height of summer, water flows swiftly. / By no means point and state deludedly; / Pointing and stating blinds the eyes with cataracts. / If the blueness in the eye does not perish, / How could flowers in the sky recede? / Students from ancient times to the present / Are matched precisely against this. / If they do not pass through the Great Center Barrier, / The root of illness in the end will not be eradicated. / For you I brush aside the great void; / In liberation, observe at ease. / Now all penetrates; / Understand thoroughly the realms of the ten directions.
