精進　法華輔行云。於法無染曰精。念念趣求曰進。相國杜鴻漸出撫巴蜀。是年至益州（西川成都府也）。遣使詣白崖山。請無住禪師入城。問法要曰。弟子聞金和尚說無憶無念莫妄三句法門。未審是一是三。師曰。無憶名戒。無念名定。莫妄名慧。然一心不生則具戒定慧。非一非三也。公曰。後句妄字莫是從心之忘乎。師曰從女者是也。公曰。有據乎。師曰。法句經云。若起精進心。是妄非精進。若能心不妄。精進無有涯。公盪釋疑情。時有鴉鳴。公問師聞否。師曰。聞與不聞非關聞性。有聲之時是聲塵自生。無聲之時是聲塵自滅。而此聞性不隨聲生。不隨聲滅。悟此聞性則免聲塵流轉。乃至色香味觸亦復如是。公喜躍稱敬。詳見傳燈錄。師嗣益州無相禪師。無相嗣資州寂。寂嗣資州侁。侁嗣五祖大滿禪師。為旁出派也。

Vigor (vīrya): The Fahua fuxing says: "Purity without defilement regarding phenomena is called 'refined' (jing); thought after thought earnestly seeking is called 'advancing' (jin)." When Prime Minister Du Hongjian went out to pacify the Ba and Shu regions, he arrived in Yizhou (Chengdu Prefecture in Western Sichuan) in this year. He dispatched an envoy to Mount Baiya to invite Chan Master Wuzhu to enter the city and inquired about the essentials of the Dharma, saying: "Your disciple heard the Venerable Jin speak of the threefold Dharma-gate of no-recollection, no-thought, and do-not-delude (wang). I wonder whether they are one or three?" The Master said: "No-recollection is called morality; no-thought is called concentration; do-not-delude is called wisdom. When not a single thought arises, morality, concentration, and wisdom are fully present. They are neither one nor three." The Duke said: "Does the character wang in the latter phrase not mean 'forgetting' written with the 'heart' radical?" The Master said: "The one with the 'woman' radical is correct." The Duke said: "Is there textual evidence?" The Master said: "The Dharmapada says: 'If you give rise to a mind of vigor, that is delusion and not vigor. If you can keep the mind from delusion, vigor is without bounds.'" The Duke resolved his doubts entirely. At that time a crow cawed. The Duke asked the Master, "Do you hear it or not?" The Master said: "Hearing or not hearing does not pertain to the nature of hearing. When there is sound, the sense-object of sound arises of itself; when there is no sound, the sense-object of sound ceases of itself. Yet this nature of hearing neither arises with sound nor ceases with sound. If one awakens to this nature of hearing, one escapes the transmigration of the sense-object of sound. It is also like this even with sights, smells, tastes, and touch." The Duke leapt with joy and expressed his reverence. Details appear in the Record of the Transmission of the Lamp. The Master was the dharma heir of Chan Master Wuxiang of Yizhou; Wuxiang was the dharma heir of Ji of Zizhou; Ji was the dharma heir of Shen of Zizhou; Shen was the dharma heir of the Fifth Patriarch, Chan Master Daman; this was a collateral branch.
