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 1.81

1.81

"The pure nature of tathatā is the true Buddha; / wrong view and the three poisons are the true Māra. / For a person of wrong view, Māra is in the house; / for a person of right view, the Buddha is in the hall. / When wrong view and the three poisons arise within the nature, / that is the demon king coming to dwell in the house. / When right view suddenly removes the mind of the three poisons, / Māra transforms into a Buddha, truly and without falsity. / The nirmāṇakāya, saṃbhogakāya, and dharmakāya— / the three bodies are originally one body. / If one seeks and sees them oneself within the nature, / that is the cause of bodhi for attaining Buddhahood. / Originally, from the nirmāṇakāya the pure nature is born; / the pure nature is ever present within the nirmāṇakāya. / The nature causes the nirmāṇakāya to practice the right path; / in the future, perfection will truly be boundless. / The nature of desire is originally the cause of the pure nature; / removing desire, there would be no body of pure nature. / Within the nature, simply detach from the five desires on your own; / the instant you see the nature, that itself is the real. / If in this life you awaken to the gate of the sudden teaching, / upon awakening you will see the World-Honoured One right before your eyes. / If you wish to cultivate and seek to find the Buddha, / not knowing where, where do you intend to seek the real? / If you can possess the real within your own mind, / having the real is the cause of attaining Buddhahood. / Not seeking the real in oneself but seeking the Buddha outside, / one who goes seeking is altogether a great fool. / The Dharma of the sudden teaching flowed from the West; / to save worldly people, one must cultivate oneself. / I now announce to students of the path in the world: / if you do not rely on this view, you will remain utterly adrift."
