南宗頓教最上大乘摩訶般若波羅蜜經六祖惠能大師於韶州大梵寺施法壇經 1.27

1.27

「今既自歸依三身佛已，與善知識發四弘大願。善知識！一時逐惠能道：眾生無邊誓願度，煩惱無邊誓願斷，法門無邊誓願學，無上佛道誓願成（三唱）。善知識！眾生無邊誓願度，不是惠能度，善知識心中眾生，各於自身自性自度。何名自性自度？自色身中，邪見煩惱，愚癡迷妄，自有本覺性，將正見度。既悟正見般若之智，除却愚癡迷妄。眾生各各自度，邪來正度，迷來悟度，愚來智度，惡來善度，煩惱來菩提度，如是度者，是名真度。煩惱無邊誓願斷，自心除虛妄。法門無邊誓願學，學無上正法。無上佛道誓願成，常下心行，恭敬一切，遠離迷執，覺智生般若，除却迷妄，即自悟佛道成，行誓願力。

"Now that you have taken refuge in the three bodies of the Buddha within yourselves, I will make the four vast vows together with you kalyāṇamitras. Kalyāṇamitras, all together repeat after Huineng: 'Sentient beings are boundless, I vow to deliver them; afflictions are boundless, I vow to sever them; Dharma doors are boundless, I vow to learn them; the unsurpassed Buddha Way, I vow to accomplish it.' (Chanted three times.) Kalyāṇamitras! 'Sentient beings are boundless, I vow to deliver them'—it is not Huineng who delivers them. The sentient beings within the minds of you kalyāṇamitras must each deliver themselves within their own bodies and own-nature. What is called delivering oneself through one's own-nature? Within one's own physical body, with regard to wrong views and afflictions, ignorance and delusion, one inherently possesses the nature of original enlightenment, and uses right views to deliver them. Having awakened to right views and the wisdom of prajñā, eradicate ignorance and delusion. Let sentient beings each deliver themselves: when the wrong comes, deliver it with the right; when delusion comes, deliver it with awakening; when ignorance comes, deliver it with wisdom; when evil comes, deliver it with good; when affliction comes, deliver it with bodhi. Delivering in this manner is called true deliverance. 'Afflictions are boundless, I vow to sever them' means eliminating falsehood from one's own mind. 'Dharma doors are boundless, I vow to learn them' means studying the unsurpassed right Dharma. 'The unsurpassed Buddha Way, I vow to accomplish it' means constantly acting with a humble mind, revering everything, leaving delusion and grasping far behind, generating prajñā through enlightened wisdom, and eliminating delusion; then one awakens to oneself, accomplishes the Buddha Way, and puts the power of the vows into practice."
