23.22

道無不在,觸處皆真,非離真而立處,立處即真,教中所謂治生產業皆順正理,與實相不相違背。是故龐居士有言:「日用事無別,唯吾自偶諧,頭頭非取捨,處處勿張乖。朱紫誰為號,丘山絕點埃,神通并妙用,運水及搬柴。」然便恁麼認著,不求妙悟,又落在無事甲裏。不見魏府老華嚴有言:「佛法在爾日用處,行住坐臥處,喫粥喫飯處,語言相問處,所作所為舉心動念,又却不是也。」又真淨和尚有言:「不擬心,一一明妙,一一天真,一一如蓮華不著水,迷自心故作眾生,悟自心故成佛,然眾生本佛,佛本眾生,由迷悟故有彼此也。」又釋迦老子有言:「是法住法位,世間相常住。」又云:「是法非思量分別之所能解。」此亦是不許擬心之異名耳,苟於應緣處,不安排不造作,不擬心思量分別計較,自然蕩蕩無欲無依,不住有為不墮無為,不作世間及出世間想,這箇是日用四威儀中,不昧本來面目底第六箇樣子也。

The Way is nowhere absent; wherever one touches, all is real. It is not that apart from reality a place is established; the place where one stands is reality itself. This is what the teachings call: 'Livelihood and industry are all in accord with the correct principle and do not contravene the true mark.' Therefore Layman Pang said: 'My daily activities are nothing special, / Only I myself naturally harmonize. / In everything there is neither grasping nor rejection; / Everywhere without discord. / Who confers titles of vermilion and purple? / The hills and mountains are free of a speck of dust. / Spiritual powers and wondrous functioning: / Carrying water and hauling firewood.' However, if you simply recognize it like that without seeking wondrous awakening, you will fall again into the armor of nothing-to-do. Have you not seen what Old Huayan of Wei Prefecture said: 'The Buddha-Dharma is in your daily life, in walking, standing, sitting, and lying down, in eating gruel and eating rice, in speaking and inquiring of one another; yet when it comes to what is done and undertaken, the raising of the mind and stirring of thoughts, it is not it at all.' Master Zhenjing also said: 'Without planning with the mind, each and every thing is bright and wondrous, each and every thing is natural and true, each and every thing is like a lotus untouched by water. Because of deluding their own minds, they become sentient beings; because of awakening to their own minds, they become buddhas. Yet sentient beings are fundamentally buddhas, and buddhas are fundamentally sentient beings; it is due to delusion and awakening that there is this and that.' Old Shakya also said: 'These dharmas abide in their dharma-positions; worldly marks constantly abide.' He also said: 'This Dharma cannot be understood by thinking and discrimination.' This is also another name for not permitting planning with the mind. If, in responding to conditions, you do not arrange and do not fabricate, do not plan with the mind, think, discriminate, or calculate, naturally vast and open, without desire and without dependence, not abiding in the conditioned nor falling into the unconditioned, not conceiving thoughts of the worldly or world-transcending—this is the sixth model of not obscuring the original face within the four daily comportments.
