15.15

（十一　辛卯）　有詔。移京兆章敬寺懷惲禪師。入居上寺。玄徒輻湊。惲示眾曰。至理忘言。時人不悉強習它事以為功能。不知自性元非境所。是箇微妙大解脫門。所有鑑覺不染不礙。如是光明未曾休廢。曩劫至今固無變易。猶如日輪遠近斯照。雖及眾色不與一切和合。靈燭妙明非假鍛鍊。為不了故取於物象。但如揑怪妄起空華。徒自疲勞枉經劫數。若能返照無第二人。舉措施為無虧實相（號柏岩姓謝晉亂誓服緇褐權德輿作記余如傳燈錄）。

(11: Xinmao [791 CE]) An imperial edict was issued transferring Chan Master Huaiyun of Zhangjing Monastery in the capital to take up residence at the superior monastery. Followers of the profound gathered like spokes at a hub. Yun instructed the assembly, saying: “The ultimate principle transcends speech. People of the world, failing to comprehend it, force themselves to practice other matters and take that as spiritual achievement, not knowing that self-nature is originally not an objective realm. It is an exquisite and great gateway to liberation. Whatever perception and awareness [arise], they are neither defiled nor obstructed. Such radiance has never ceased or been abandoned; from past kalpas until now, it has indeed never altered, just like the solar disc shining everywhere, near and far. Though reaching all colors, it does not blend with anything. The wondrous illumination of the spiritual torch does not depend on forging or smelting. Because they do not understand it, they grasp at material forms, just as conjuring up monstrosities and vainly giving rise to flowers in the sky, wearing themselves out to no purpose and passing through kalpas in vain. If one can reflect back upon oneself, there is no second person; all movements and deeds will never fall short of the true mark.” (Styled Boyan, surnamed Xie. During the turmoil of Jin he vowed to wear the monastic garb. Quan Deyu composed his memorial inscription. The rest is as in the *Record of the Transmission of the Lamp*.)
