### [1.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2008.1.45)

「說通及心通，如日處虛空，  
唯傳見性法，出世破邪宗。  
法即無頓漸，迷悟有遲疾，  
只此見性門，愚人不可悉。  
說即雖萬般，合理還歸一，  
煩惱闇宅中，常須生慧日。  
邪來煩惱至，正來煩惱除，  
邪正俱不用，清淨至無餘。  
菩提本自性，起心即是妄，  
淨心在妄中，但正無三障。  
世人若修道，一切盡不妨，  
常自見己過，與道即相當。  
色類自有道，各不相妨惱，  
離道別覓道，終身不見道。  
波波度一生，到頭還自懊，  
欲得見真道，行正即是道。  
自若無道心，闇行不見道，  
若真修道人，不見世間過。  
若見他人非，自非却是左，  
他非我不非，我非自有過。  
但自却非心，打除煩惱破，  
憎愛不關心，長伸兩脚臥。  
欲擬化他人，自須有方便，  
勿令彼有疑，即是自性現。  
佛法在世間，不離世間覺，  
離世覓菩提，恰如求兔角。  
正見名出世，邪見是世間，  
邪正盡打却，菩提性宛然。  
此頌是頓教，亦名大法船，  
迷聞經累劫，悟則剎那間。」

> "When mastery of speech and mastery of mind are attained, / It is like the sun dwelling in empty space. / Only the Dharma of seeing into one's nature is transmitted, / Appearing in the world to destroy false sects.  
> The Dharma has neither sudden nor gradual, / But delusion and awakening have slow and fast. / Only this gate of seeing into one's nature / Foolish people cannot comprehend.  
> Though explanations take myriad forms, / When accord with the principle is reached, they return to the one. / In the dark house of afflictions, / The sun of wisdom must constantly be born.  
> When falsehood arrives, afflictions come; / When correctness arrives, afflictions are eliminated. / When neither false nor correct are used, / Purity reaches the remainderless.  
> Bodhi is fundamentally svabhāva; / Giving rise to thought is immediately delusion. / The pure mind is within delusion; / Merely be correct and the three obstructions will be gone.  
> If worldly people cultivate the Way, / Nothing at all stands in their way. / Constantly see your own faults, / And you will accord with the Way.  
> Beings of form each have their own Way, / None hindering or troubling one another. / Leaving the Way to seek another Way, / One will never see the Way in this whole life.  
> Drifting through life in vain, / In the end one is full of self-remorse. / If you wish to see the true Way, / Acting correctly is itself the Way.  
> If you yourself lack the mind for the Way, / Walking in darkness you will not see the Way. / A true cultivator of the Way / Does not see the faults of the world.  
> If you see the wrongs of others, / Your own wrong is an error. / When others are wrong and I am not wrong, / My taking them as wrong is my own fault.  
> Merely discard the wrong-finding mind yourself; / Strike down and break afflictions. / When hatred and love do not touch the heart, / Lie down with both legs stretched out.  
> If you intend to transform others, / You yourself must possess skillful means. / Do not let them have doubts; / That is svabhāva becoming manifest.  
> The Buddha-Dharma is in the world; / Awakening is not separate from the world. / Seeking bodhi apart from the world / Is just like looking for a rabbit's horn.  
> Right view is called transcending the world; / Wrong view is worldly. / When right and wrong are completely struck down, / The bodhi-nature is fully evident.  
> This verse is the sudden teaching, / Also called the great Dharma boat. / In delusion one hears it over multiple kalpas; / Awakened, it is in a single instant."
