諸經要抄 1.46

1.46

佛告大惠言。第一義者。是聖智內自證境。非語言分別智境。語言分別不能顯示。大惠言。說者生滅動搖展轉因緣生。若展轉緣生於第一義則不能顯示。第一義者。無自他相。言語有相不能顯示。第一義者。但唯自心。種種外相悉皆無有。言語分別不能顯示。是故大惠應當遠離語言分別佛分別。佛告。婆羅門乃至少有心識流動分別外境。皆是世論乃至心流動。是則為世論。分別不起者。是人見自心。

The Buddha told Mahāmati, "The ultimate truth (paramārtha) is the realm of the inner personal realization (pratyātmādhigama) of noble wisdom; it is not the cognitive sphere of verbal discrimination. Verbal discrimination cannot reveal it." Mahāmati said, "Preaching is subject to arising and ceasing, fluctuating, and conditionally produced through reciprocal causes and conditions. If it is conditionally produced through reciprocal causes, it cannot reveal the ultimate truth. The ultimate truth has no marks of self or other; speech possesses marks and cannot reveal it. The ultimate truth is mind-only (citta-mātra); various external marks are entirely absent. Verbal discrimination cannot reveal it. Therefore, Mahāmati, you should keep far away from verbal discrimination and conceptualizing the Buddha." The Buddha told the brāhmaṇa, "As long as there is the slightest movement of mental consciousness discriminating external objects, it is all worldly sophistry (lokāyata). Down to the movement of the mind, that is worldly sophistry. One whose discriminations do not arise is a person who sees their own mind."
