景德傳燈錄 29.44

29.44

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.
