景德傳燈錄 29.15

29.15

日出卯。用處不須生善巧。縱使神光照有無。起意便遭魔事撓。若施功終不了。日夜被他人我抝。不用安排只麼從。何曾心地生煩惱。

At sunrise, the hour of mao: / In the place of functioning, there is no need to generate skillful contrivances. / Even if divine radiance shines upon being and non-being, / Stirring an intention, one is troubled by māra's affairs. / If you apply effort, you will never finish; / Day and night you are twisted by others and self. / No need for contrivance, just accord with it as it is; / How has the mind-ground ever produced afflictions?
