### [3.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2023.3.14)

至道無難唯嫌揀擇。但莫憎愛洞然明白。毫釐有差天地懸隔。  
欲得現前莫存順逆。違順相爭是為心病。  
不識玄旨徒勞念靜。圓同太虛無欠無餘。  
良由取捨所以不如。莫逐有緣勿住空忍。  
一種平懷泯然自盡。止動歸止止更彌動。  
唯滯兩邊寧知一種。一種不通兩處失功。  
遣有沒有從空背空。多言多慮轉不相應。  
絕言絕慮無處不通。歸根得旨隨照失宗。  
須臾返照勝却前空。前空轉變皆由妄見。  
不用求真唯須息見。二見不住慎莫追尋。纔有是非紛然失心。  
二由一有一亦莫守。一心不生萬法無咎。  
無咎無法不生不心。能隨境滅境逐能沈。  
境由能境能由境能。欲知兩段元是一空。  
一空同兩齊含萬象。不見精粗寧有偏黨。  
大道體寬無易無難。小見狐疑轉急轉遲。  
執之失度必入邪路。放之自然體無去住。  
任性合道逍遙絕惱。繫念乖真昏沈不好。  
不好勞神何用疎親。欲取一乘勿惡六塵。六塵不惡還同正覺。  
智者無為愚人自縛。法無異法妄自愛著。  
將心用心豈非大錯。迷生寂亂悟無好惡。  
一切二邊良由斟酌。夢幻虛華何勞把捉。  
得失是非一時放却。眼若不睡諸夢自除。  
心若不異萬法一如。一如體玄兀爾忘緣。  
萬法齊觀歸復自然。泯其所以不可方比。  
止動無動動止無止。兩既不成一何有爾。  
究竟窮極不存軌則。契心平等所作俱息。狐疑盡淨正信調直。  
一切不留無可記憶。虛明自照不勞心力。  
非思量處識情難測。真如法界無他無自。  
要急相應唯言不二。不二皆同無不包容。  
十方智者皆入此宗。宗非促延一念萬年。  
無在不在十方目前。極小同大忘絕境界。  
極大同小不見邊表。有即是無無即是有。  
若不如此必不須守。一即一切一切即一。  
但能如是何慮不畢。信心不二不二信心。言語道斷非去來今。

> The Supreme Way is not difficult; it only dislikes picking and choosing.  
> Merely have no hatred or love, and all will be clearly understood.  
> A hair's breadth of difference, and heaven and earth are set far apart.  
> If you wish to see it appear before you, entertain neither conformable nor contrary.  
> The clash of the contrary and the conformable is the disease of the mind.  
> Not knowing the profound intent, you labor in vain trying to quiet thought.  
> Complete like great space, lacking nothing, with nothing extra.  
> Precisely because of grasping and rejecting, therefore it is not as it is.  
> Do not pursue conditioned existence; do not dwell in the endurance of emptiness.  
> Rest in single evenness, and \[all\] vanishes of itself.  
> Stopping movement to return to stillness, the stillness moves all the more.  
> Staying only in the two extremes, how can you know the single kind?  
> If you do not penetrate the single kind, at both ends you will lose efficacy.  
> Dismissing existence, you sink into existence; pursuing emptiness, you turn your back on emptiness.  
> Much speech and many thoughts bring less and less accord.  
> Cutting off speech and cutting off thoughts, there is nowhere you do not penetrate.  
> Returning to the root you obtain the intent; following the illumination you lose the source.  
> For a moment turning illumination back surpasses the previous emptiness.  
> The changes of the previous emptiness all stem from delusive views.  
> There is no need to seek the true; one must only cease views.  
> Do not abide in the dual views; take care not to pursue them.  
> As soon as there is right and wrong, the mind is confusedly lost.  
> The two exist because of the one; do not cling even to the one.  
> When the one mind is unarisen, the myriad dharmas are without fault.  
> Without fault, there are no dharmas; unarisen, there is no mind.  
> The subject perishes following the object; the object sinks pursuing the subject.  
> The object is an object because of the subject; the subject is a subject because of the object.  
> If you wish to know these two parts, fundamentally they are a single emptiness.  
> The single emptiness is identical to both, equally containing the myriad forms.  
> Not seeing fine or coarse, how could there be partiality or bias?  
> The Great Way's essence is broad, neither easy nor difficult.  
> Small views are filled with doubt; the more hurried they are, the slower they go.  
> Clinging to it loses measure, and will surely enter crooked paths.  
> Letting it go naturally, the essence has no going or staying.  
> Accord with your nature and unite with the Way: roam untrammeled and cut off afflictions.  
> Bound thoughts go contrary to truth; torpor and sinking are not good.  
> It is no good to weary the spirit; what use are estrangement and intimacy?  
> If you wish to grasp the One Vehicle, do not loathe the six dusts.  
> Not loathing the six dusts is identical to right awakening.  
> The wise do not act; the foolish bind themselves.  
> Dharmas have no different dharmas; delusion itself cherishes attachments.  
> Using the mind to employ the mind—is this not a great error?  
> Delusion gives rise to quiet and disturbance; awakening has no likes or dislikes.  
> All two extremes arise strictly from deliberation.  
> Dreams, phantoms, and empty flowers: why labor to grasp them?  
> Gain and loss, right and wrong: let them go all at once.  
> If the eyes do not sleep, all dreams are removed of themselves.  
> If the mind does not differentiate, the myriad dharmas are of one suchness.  
> The essence of one suchness is profound: motionless, forget conditions.  
> Viewing the myriad dharmas equally, one returns to what is natural.  
> Extinguish the reason for it, and nothing can be compared to it.  
> Stop movement and there is no movement; move stillness and there is no stillness.  
> Since both are not established, how could the one exist?  
> At the ultimate and consummate limit, no rules or standards are preserved.  
> Accord the mind to equality, and what is done ceases entirely.  
> Hesitations and doubts are thoroughly cleansed, and right faith is tuned and straight.  
> Nothing remains, nothing can be remembered.  
> Emptily bright, illuminating itself, it does not weary mental effort.  
> It is not a place for thinking; consciousness and feeling cannot fathom it.  
> In the true-suchness dharmadhātu, there is neither other nor self.  
> If you urgently wish to accord with it, speak only of non-duality.  
> In non-duality all is identical; there is nothing it does not contain.  
> The wise of the ten directions all enter this source.  
> The source neither shortens nor extends: one thought is ten thousand years.  
> Neither absent nor present, the ten directions are before one's eyes.  
> The extremely small is identical to the great, with realms forgotten and cut off.  
> The extremely great is identical to the small, with neither boundary nor surface seen.  
> Existence is precisely non-existence; non-existence is precisely existence.  
> If it is not thus, you surely must not cling to it.  
> One is precisely all; all is precisely one.  
> If only you can be like this, what worry is there that you will not accomplish it?  
> The faithful mind is non-dual; non-duality is the faithful mind.  
> The path of language is cut off: it is neither past, future, nor present.
