緇門警訓 5.18

5.18

"If one speaks of abandoning the defiled and grasping the pure, abhorring this and craving that, this is the sentiment of grasping and rejecting, the deluded thought of sentient beings. If one speaks of there being no Pure Land, this contradicts the words of the Buddha. How should one who cultivates the Pure Land practice?" The assembly was silent. He again answered himself, saying: "As for being born, one is definitely born; as for going, in reality one does not go." He also said: "For example, when a wild goose crosses the vast sky, its shadow sinks into the cold water. The goose has no intention of leaving behind a trace, and the water has no mind to retain the shadow."
