佛祖統紀 50.39

50.39

修觀之道。曰從行。曰附法。曰託事。唯三而已。今觀心圖者。從行之正軌也。準夫止觀。二十五法為方便。十乘十境為正修者。固非於此能備。若其日用之際。以十界德過升沈鑑我心曲。雖絲𩬊不能自逃。其遷善改過之要乎。慈雲法師示我以觀心之圖。研味法喜心乎不忘。置諸座隅足以自警。而未見兼人之益。乃復命工形諸篆刻。用廣流行。庶幾乎仰承於師志也。

The ways of cultivating contemplation are: proceeding from practice, attaching to the Dharma, and relying on phenomena—only these three. This present Chart for Contemplating the Mind is the proper course of proceeding from practice. As standard calming and contemplation establishes the twenty-five methods as expedients and the ten vehicles and ten objects as the actual cultivation, these cannot, of course, be fully provided here. Yet in daily life, using the virtues and faults, the ascent and descent of the ten realms to mirror the inner recesses of one's mind, not even a single hair can escape. Is this not the essence of turning toward good and correcting faults? Dharma Master Ciyun showed me this Chart for Contemplating the Mind. Savoring the joy of the Dharma, my heart cannot forget it. Placing it at the corner of my seat is sufficient to warn myself; but seeing that it had not yet benefited others broadly, I further instructed artisans to carve it onto printing blocks to disseminate it widely, hoping thereby to honor and carry out the Master's intention.
