### [4.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.4.65)

「眾生欲出離，三界五道閡，  
精進不懈怠，安住無為道。  
如人起屋舍，非材木得成，  
要先修治地，次立牆壁柱。  
佛道如大空，不由一行成，  
執志要堅固，放心無戀慕。  
過佛如恒沙，來者不可盡，  
或有次第成，亦有超越者。  
我今悟未悟，令至八正道，  
聞輒不再受，此法由誰造？  
昔吾捨身想，劫數不以難；  
無師而自覺，得為一切導。  
導師出現世，非緣不降神；  
要度未度者，示現無為城。」

> "Sentient beings wish to escape and leave behind  
> the hindrances of the three realms and five destinies;  
> let them be vigorous and not indolent,  
> and peacefully abide in the unconditioned path.  
> Just as when a person builds a house,  
> it is not accomplished by timber alone;  
> first one must prepare and level the ground,  
> and then erect walls and pillars.  
> The Buddha path is like great space:  
> it is not accomplished by a single practice.  
> Hold your resolve firmly;  
> release your mind, free from yearning and clinging.  
> Past Buddhas are like the sands of the Ganges;  
> those to come cannot be numbered.  
> Some attain \[awakening\] in succession,  
> and there are also those who leap over.  
> Now, whether you are awakened or not yet awakened,  
> I cause you to reach the eightfold noble path.  
> Upon hearing it, one will never be reborn again;  
> by whom was this Dharma created?  
> Formerly I gave up the thought of bodily self,  
> and did not consider the number of kalpas difficult;  
> having awakened by myself without a teacher,  
> I became the guide for all.  
> When a guide appears in the world,  
> he does not descend without conditions;  
> he must cross over those not yet crossed over,  
> and manifest the city of the unconditioned."
