萬善同歸集 1.10

1.10

古德釋云：「心該萬法，謂非但一念觀佛，由於自心；菩薩萬行，佛果體用，亦不離心，亦去妄執之失。謂有計云：『萬法皆心，任之是佛；驅馳萬行，豈不虛勞？』今明：『心雖即佛，久翳塵勞，故以萬行增修，令其瑩徹。但說萬行由心，不說不修為是；又萬法即心，修何閡心？』」

A master of old explained: 'Mind encompasses the myriad dharmas means not only that contemplating the Buddha in a single thought proceeds from one's own mind, but that the bodhisattva's myriad practices and the substance and function of the fruit of buddhahood also do not depart from mind, which also eliminates the fault of deluded grasping. This refers to the calculation that says: "The myriad dharmas are all mind, and leaving it to itself is Buddha; rushing about in the myriad practices, is that not empty toil?" Now it clarifies: "Although mind is itself Buddha, it has long been obscured by defilements and toil; therefore, one enhances cultivation through the myriad practices to make it sparkling and translucent. It only says the myriad practices proceed from mind; it does not say that non-cultivation is correct. Furthermore, the myriad dharmas are themselves mind; how could cultivating obstruct the mind?"'
