緇門警訓 4.57

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [4.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2023.4.57)

戒定慧三學者。眾生自性本有之物。不因修證而得。非唯諸佛菩薩具足。一切凡夫悉皆具足。自性無善惡。無持亦無犯。是自性戒。自性無靜亂。無取亦無捨。是自性定。自性本無知而無所不知。是自性慧。諸佛菩薩知有故得受用。一切凡夫不知有故不得受用。知有不知有似乎少異。而戒定慧未嘗少異也。

> The three trainings of śīla, samādhi, and prajñā are things inherently possessed within the own-nature of sentient beings; they are not obtained through cultivation and realization. Not only are all buddhas and bodhisattvas fully endowed with them, but all ordinary beings are also completely endowed with them. Own-nature has neither good nor evil, neither upholding nor transgressing: this is the śīla of own-nature. Own-nature has neither stillness nor disturbance, neither grasping nor abandoning: this is the samādhi of own-nature. Own-nature originally has no knowing, yet there is nothing it does not know: this is the prajñā of own-nature. Because buddhas and bodhisattvas know they have them, they obtain their enjoyment and use. Because all ordinary beings do not know they have them, they do not obtain their enjoyment and use. Knowing one has them and not knowing one has them may seem slightly different, yet śīla, samādhi, and prajñā have never differed in the least.
