23.9

佛是凡夫鏡子,凡夫却是佛鏡子,凡夫迷時,生死垢染影像全體現佛鏡子中,忽然悟時,真淨妙明不生不滅佛影像却現凡夫鏡子中。然佛本無生滅,亦無迷悟,亦無鏡子,亦無影像可現,由凡夫有若干,故隨凡夫發明耳。而今欲除凡夫病,與佛祖無異,請打破鏡來,為爾下箇註脚。

The Buddha is the mirror of the ordinary person, and the ordinary person is the mirror of the Buddha. When the ordinary person is deluded, the defiled reflections of birth and death are completely manifested in the Buddha's mirror. When one suddenly awakens, the truly pure, wonderful, bright, unarising, and unceasing image of the Buddha is manifested in the ordinary person's mirror. However, the Buddha fundamentally has no arising or ceasing, nor delusion or awakening, nor any mirror, nor any reflection that can be manifested; it is simply because ordinary people have various conditions that [the Buddha] illuminates in accordance with ordinary people. Now, if you wish to eliminate the ordinary person's sickness and be no different from the buddhas and ancestors, please smash the mirror, and I will write a footnote for you.
