### [29.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.29.44)

丈夫運用堂堂。逍遙自在無妨。一切不能為害。堅固猶若金剛。不著二邊中道。翛然非斷非常。五欲貪瞋是佛。地獄不異天堂。愚人妄生分別。流浪生死猖狂。智者達色無礙。聲聞無不恛惶。法性本無瑕翳。眾生妄執青黃。如來引接迷愚。或說地獄天堂。彌勒身中自有。何須別處思量。棄却真如佛像。此人即是顛狂。聲聞心中不了。唯只趁逐言章。言章本非真道。轉加鬪爭剛彊。心裏蚖蛇蝮蝎。螫著便即遭傷。不解文中取義。何時得會真常。死入無間地獄。神識枉受災殃。

> The great man functions magnificently, / Rambling at ease without impediment. / Nothing can harm him; / He is firm, just like adamantine. / Not abiding in the two extremes or the Middle Way, / Carefree, neither severed nor eternal. / The five desires, greed, and anger are Buddha; / Hell is no different from heaven. / Foolish people falsely generate discriminations, / Wandering wild in birth and death. / The wise penetrate form without obstruction; / The śrāvakas are all frightened and flurried. / The Dharma-nature fundamentally lacks flaw or film; / Sentient beings falsely cling to blue and yellow. / The Tathāgata guides the deluded and foolish, / Sometimes speaking of hell, sometimes of heaven. / Maitreya is naturally within the body; / Why need one deliberate elsewhere? / Casting aside the Buddha image of True Suchness, / Such a person is simply insane. / The minds of śrāvakas do not understand; / They only pursue words and chapters. / Words and chapters are fundamentally not the true Way; / They merely increase contention and obstinacy. / In their minds are vipers, snakes, adders, and scorpions; / Stung by them, one is immediately wounded. / Not understanding how to extract meaning from the texts, / When can they comprehend the true and constant? / At death they enter Avīci Hell, / Their consciousness suffering calamity in vain.
