釋家觀化還愚經 1.2

1.2

Extensive learning holds fast; / upholding the Dharma serves as a rampart. / Vigorous exertion is difficult to surmount or destroy; / through this, precepts and wisdom are perfected. / Extensive learning causes the aspiration to be luminous; / once luminous, wisdom increases. / With wisdom, one broadly understands the meanings; / seeing the meaning, one practices the Dharma with ease. / Extensive learning can eliminate grief; / it can take concentration as delight. / Skillfully expounding the deathless Dharma, / one knows oneself to have attained nirvāṇa. / Through learning, one understands the teachings and discipline; / resolving doubts, one also perceives […]. / From learning, one abandons what is not the Dharma, / and walks until reaching the deathless abode.
