大慧普覺禪師語錄 19.13

19.13

古德有言：「尋牛須訪跡，學道訪無心，跡在牛還在，無心道易尋。」所謂無心者，非如土木瓦石頑然無知，謂觸境遇緣，心定不動，不取著諸法，一切處蕩然無障無礙，無所染污，亦不住在無染污處，觀身觀心如夢如幻，亦不住在夢幻虛無之境。到得如此境界，方始謂之真無心，且非口頭說底無心。若未得真無心，只據說底，與默照邪禪何以異哉？

An ancient worthy said: "To seek an ox, one must follow the tracks; / to study the Way, seek no-mind. / Where the tracks are, the ox remains; / with no-mind, the Way is easy to find." What is called "no-mind" is not being stubbornly insensate like earth, wood, tile, or stone; it means that when touching circumstances and encountering conditions, the mind is settled and unmoving, does not grasp at any dharma, is completely unhindered and unobstructed in all places, is without defilement, yet does not abide in the place of non-defilement either; viewing the body and viewing the mind as like a dream and like an illusion, yet not abiding in the realm of dreams, illusions, or voidness. Only when arriving at such a realm can it truly be called genuine no-mind, and it is not a no-mind merely spoken of by mouth. If you have not attained genuine no-mind and merely rely on what is spoken, how does that differ from the heterodox Chan of silent illumination?
