萬善同歸集 2.17

2.17

問：「身雖虛假，眾患所纏；然因此幻形，能成道果。經云：『不入煩惱大海，不得無價寶珠。』若欲捨之，恐成後悔。」

Question: "Although the body is illusory and entangled by many afflictions, nonetheless, through this illusory form one can accomplish the fruits of the path. A sūtra says: 'Without entering the great ocean of afflictions, one cannot obtain the priceless jewel.' If one wishes to relinquish it, I fear that regrets will ensue."
