緇門警訓 2.20

2.20

勤之勤之。至道非孜奚為淹滯。弱喪神奇。茫茫三界眇眇長羈。煩勞外湊冥心內馳。殉赴欽渴緬邈忘疲。人生一世涓若露垂。我身非我云云誰施。達人懷德知安必危。寂寥清舉潔累禪池。謹守明禁雅說玄規。綏心神道抗志無為。遼朗三蔽融治六疵空洞五陰虛豁四支。非指喻指絕而莫離。妙覺既陳又玄其知。婉轉平任與物推移。過此以往勿思勿議。

Strive, strive! The ultimate Way does not brook delay; why linger and tarry?
Infantile and lost, the spirit is divine;
Boundless is the traidhātuka, endless and remote the long fetters.
Weariness and toil converge from without; the dark mind rushes within.
Sacrificing oneself to pursue thirst and craving, far away one forgets fatigue.
A person's life in this world is like a suspended drop of dew.
My body is not mine; to whom does all this talk apply?
The realized person cherishes virtue, knowing that security inevitably brings danger.
Solitary, pure, and elevated, one purifies defilements in the pool of dhyāna.
Prudently observe the clear prohibitions; elegantly expound the profound guidelines.
Pacify the mind in the spiritual Way; elevate the will in non-action.
Vastly illuminate the three obscurations; dissolve and cure the six flaws;
Empty the five skandhas into voidness; render the four limbs open and free.
A non-finger serves as a metaphor for a finger, severed yet not separated.
Once wondrous enlightenment is unfolded, one further makes its knowledge profound.
Gracefully and naturally letting go, one shifts and turns along with things.
Beyond this, do not think and do not deliberate.
