六祖大師法寶壇經 1.143

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.143](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2008.1.143)

「一切無有真，不以見於真，  
若見於真者，是見盡非真。  
若能自有真，離假即心真，  
自心不離假，無真何處真？  
有情即解動，無情即不動，  
若修不動行，同無情不動。  
若覓真不動，動上有不動，  
不動是不動，無情無佛種。  
能善分別相，第一義不動，  
但作如此見，即是真如用。  
報諸學道人，努力須用意，  
莫於大乘門，却執生死智。  
若言下相應，即共論佛義；  
若實不相應，合掌令歡喜。  
此宗本無諍，諍即失道意，  
執逆諍法門，自性入生死。」

> "Nothing whatsoever has the real; / do not regard it as real. / If you see it as real, / that seeing is entirely unreal. / If one can possess the real oneself, / departing from the false, the mind is real. / When one's own mind does not depart from the false, / there is no real; where could the real be? / The sentient are able to move; / the insentient do not move. / If you cultivate the practice of non-movement, / it is the same as the non-movement of the insentient. / If you seek the true non-movement, / upon movement there is non-movement. / Non-movement \[that is merely\] non-movement / is insentient, lacking the Buddha-seed. / Being able to skillfully distinguish marks, / in the primary meaning one does not move. / Merely having such a view / is the functioning of tathatā. / I announce to all students of the Way: / make an effort and apply your intent; / do not, at the gate of the Mahāyāna, / cling instead to the wisdom of birth and death. / If there is accord under these words, / then discuss the Buddha's meaning together; / if in truth there is no accord, / join your palms and make them glad. / This lineage originally has no dispute; / disputing loses the intent of the Way. / Clinging to contradictory, disputatious Dharma doors, / svabhāva enters birth and death."
