景德傳燈錄 29.9

29.9

可笑眾生蠢蠢。各執一般異見。但欲傍𨫼求餅。不解返本觀麫。麫是正邪之本。由人造作百變。所須任意縱橫。不假偏耽愛戀。無著即是解脫。有求又遭羅羂。慈心一切平等。真即菩提自現。若懷彼我二心。對面不見佛面。

Laughed at, sentient beings are stupid and muddled, / Each clinging to their own differing views. / They only want to beg for cakes beside the stove, / Not understanding to return to the source and see the flour. / Flour is the root of both orthodox and heterodox; / Formed by human hands, it undergoes a hundred transformations. / Let what is needed be used freely in all directions, / With no need for partial indulgence or clinging love. / Non-attachment is itself liberation; / Having desires, one is again caught in nets and snares. / With a compassionate mind all is equal; / Truth is directly Bodhi appearing of itself. / If one harbors dualistic thoughts of self and other, / Face to face, one does not see the Buddha's face.
