緇門警訓 9.18

9.18

華嚴以十法界總攝多門。示無盡之理。禪門有十玄談。以明唱道。洞山有十不歸。以表超證。山僧述十可行。以示後生。庶資助道。譬諸蓬生麻中不扶而直。又如染香之人亦有香氣。有少益者。書之于后。

The Avataṃsaka utilizes the ten dharmadhātus to comprehensively encompass multiple gates, illustrating the principle of inexhaustibility. The Chan school has the 'Ten Mysterious Talks' to clarify chanting the Way. Dongshan had the 'Ten Non-Returnings' to express transcendent realization. This mountain monk has composed the 'Ten Feasible Practices' to instruct future generations, hoping to assist their practice of the Way. It is like fleabane growing among hemp, becoming straight without support; or like a person scented with fragrance, who also comes to have fragrance. For those who may derive a small benefit, I write them down below.
