大乘起信論略述 2.197

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.197](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.197)

論。當念唯心至終不為惱　述曰。此略辨治也。一切諸境尚唯自心。何況坐中境非心也。是故觀察唯心之理。惱境自滅不能亂。魔境皆依動念生故。觀察唯心非彼知故。

> \[Treatise:\] One should be mindful that \[everything is\] mind-only \[... they will never cause harassment\]. \[Exposition:\] This briefly discerns the remedy. All objective realms are merely one's own mind, so how could the realms \[appearing\] during meditation not be mind? Therefore, contemplating the principle of mind-only, the harassing objects naturally perish and cannot cause disturbance. Demonic realms all arise relying on stirring thoughts; because one contemplates mind-only, they are not \[independently\] known by those \[beings\].
