法苑珠林 32.18

32.18

見色如水沫　諸受悉如泡
觀想同陽焰　如是我識彼
見行如芭蕉　知識猶如幻
女名假施設　如是我識彼
身無覺如木　亦如草瓦礫
心則不可見　如是我識彼
諸凡夫如醉　顛倒生惡覺
智者所不染　如是我識彼
如彼林中屍　臭爛惡不淨
身體性如是　如是我識彼
過去本不滅　未來亦不生
現在不暫住　如是我識彼
文殊當善聽　彼恩難可報
我本多貪欲　見不淨解脫
彼身實不死　為化我現死
愍眾故示現　誰見不發心
如是貪瞋癡　及一切煩惱
如是體法性　善哉甚微妙

I see form like foam on water, / And all feelings are like bubbles; / I observe perception to be like a mirage— / Thus do I recognise her. / I see mental formations like a plantain tree, / And consciousness like an illusion; / 'Woman' is a mere nominal designation— / Thus do I recognise her. / The body is insensate like wood, / And also like grass, tiles, and rubble; / The mind cannot be seen— / Thus do I recognise her. / Ordinary people are as if intoxicated, / Perversely generating evil perceptions; / The wise are not defiled by them— / Thus do I recognise her. / Like that corpse in the grove, / Putrid, repulsive, and impure, / The nature of the physical body is like this— / Thus do I recognise her. / What is past originally did not perish; / What is future is also unproduced; / What is present does not abide for a moment— / Thus do I recognise her. / Mañjuśrī should listen carefully: / Her kindness can hardly be repaid. / Formerly I was full of lust and desire, / But seeing impurity I was liberated. / Her body did not truly die; / To transform me she manifested death. / Showing it out of pity for the multitude, / Who that sees it would not bring forth the mind [of bodhi]? / In this way, greed, anger, and folly, / As well as all afflictions— / To realize the nature of phenomena as such / Is excellent, profound, and subtle indeed.
