答曰。直心是道場無虛假故　此下三十句廣約諸法明道場。此初約心辨也。肇曰。修心進道無亂之境是道場耳。若能標心為主萬行為場。不越方寸道自修者乃真道場。曷為近捨閑境而遠求空地乎。直心者謂內心真直外無虛假。斯乃基萬行之本壇進道之場。自此已下備列諸行盡。是修心之閑地弘道之靜場也。又解。如世間和䴰之麥皆詣場鞭打。䴰去麥全。修道亦然。佛性精粹雜煩惱䴰。將修行者正見實相為場。對治萬行為鞭打。斷惑證真為颺篩。如直心以虛假為糠䴰。布施以慳貪為糠䴰。諸句例知。

"He answered: 'The straight mind is the bodhimaṇḍa, because it is without falsehood.'" Below, thirty lines extensively clarify the bodhimaṇḍa in terms of various dharmas. This first part distinguishes it in terms of the mind. Sengzhao says: The realm of cultivating the mind, progressing on the path, and being undisturbed is indeed the bodhimaṇḍa. If one can designate the mind as the master and myriad practices as the site, without leaving the square inch the path is naturally cultivated—this is the true bodhimaṇḍa. Why abandon the quiet realm nearby to seek an empty plot far away? 'Straight mind' means that the internal mind is true and upright, externally free of falsehood. This is the fundamental altar that grounds the myriad practices, the site for advancing on the path. From here below, all practices are fully listed; all are quiet grounds for cultivating the mind, tranquil sites for propagating the path. Another explanation: Just as in the world wheat mixed with chaff is brought to the threshing floor and beaten, so that the chaff is removed and the wheat preserved, the cultivation of the path is also like this. The pure essence of Buddha-nature is mixed with the chaff of afflictions. The practitioner takes the correct view of the true mark as the threshing floor, the myriad practices of counteraction as the threshing, and severing delusions and realizing truth as the winnowing and sifting. For example, the straight mind takes falsehood as its chaff; giving takes stinginess and greed as its chaff. All lines are known by this analogy.
