明安曰。此三種須明轉位始得。一作水牯牛是䫫墮。是沙門轉身語。是異䫫中事。若不曉此意即有所滯。直是要爾一念無私即有出身之路。大珠和尚因維摩座主問。經云。彼外道六師是汝之師。汝師所墮。汝亦隨墮。其施汝者。不名福田。供養汝者。墮三惡道。謗於佛毀於法。不入眾數。終不得滅度。汝若如是乃可取食。今請。禪師明為解說。大珠曰。迷循六根號為六師。心外求佛名為外道。有物可施不名福田。生心受供墮三惡道。汝若謗於佛者。是不著佛求。毀於法者。是不著法求。不入眾數者。是不著僧求。終不得滅度。是智用現前。若如是解者。便得法喜禪悅之食　二曰。不斷聲色是隨墮。以不明聲色故隨處墮。須向聲色有出身之路。作麼生是聲色外一句。答聲不是聲。色不是色。故云不斷。指掌當指何掌也　三曰。不受食是尊貴墮。須是知那邊了。却來這邊行履。不虛此位。即墮尊貴矣。

> Ming'an said: "These three kinds must be understood through shifting ranks before one gets it. First, becoming a water buffalo is falling into the species; this is the phrase of a śramaṇa's turning of the body, an affair among different species. If one does not understand this meaning, one will be obstructed. One simply must have a single thought without self-interest, and then there will be a path of emergence. Because a lecturer on the Vimalakīrti Sūtra asked Venerable Dazhu: 'The sūtra says: "Those six non-Buddhist teachers are your teachers. Where your teachers fall, you also fall along with them. Those who give alms to you do not gain a field of merit; those who make offerings to you fall into the three evil paths. Slander the Buddha, destroy the Dharma, do not enter the Sangha's assembly, and never attain extinction—if you are like this, only then may you take food." Now I request the Chan master clearly to explain this.' Dazhu said: 'Deluded following of the six sense faculties is called the six teachers. Seeking a Buddha outside the mind is called non-Buddhist. Having a thing to give is not called a field of merit. Giving rise to a mind that receives offerings causes one to fall into the three evil paths. If you slander the Buddha, that is seeking without clinging to the Buddha; if you destroy the Dharma, that is seeking without clinging to the Dharma; if you do not enter the Sangha's assembly, that is seeking without clinging to the Sangha; never attaining extinction is the wisdom-function being manifested before you. If one understands in this way, one obtains the food of Dharma joy and meditation bliss.' Second, it is said: 'Not severing sound and form is falling along with phenomena.' Because of not understanding sound and form, one falls wherever one goes. One must have a road of emergence toward sound and form. What is the phrase outside of sound and form? The answer: sound is not sound, form is not form; therefore it is said 'not severing.' When pointing to the palm, what palm should be pointed to? Third, it is said: 'Not receiving food is falling into the honored and noble.' One must know that side, and then come to this side to practice; not making this rank empty, one then falls into the honored and noble."
