萬善同歸集 3.44

3.44

問：「道無不在，真性匪移；有佛無佛，性相常住。此即一體三寶，常現世間。何用金檀刻像，竹帛書經，剃髮出塵，以為三寶？」

Question: “The Way is nowhere absent, and the true nature does not shift; whether there is a Buddha or no Buddha, the nature and characteristics permanently abide. This is precisely the one-essence Triratna, ever-present in the world. Why use gold and sandalwood to carve images, bamboo and silk to write sūtras, or shave the head to leave the dust of the world, in order to constitute the Triratna?”
