得道梯橙錫杖經 1.10

1.10

「攝持是杖，如斯之人，內具十六行（謂四諦：苦、集、滅、道。四等：慈、悲、喜、捨。四禪：初禪、二禪、三禪、四禪。四無色定：空處、識處、不用處、非想非非想處），復具三十七行（謂：三十七助道法）。於是法中，了了分別，自身作證，不隨音聲；於是法中，而自遨戲，入空、無相、無願解脫門，自在無難，名之為聖。內有是德，外執錫杖，表式此人，必有聖德。戒定忍慧，三明六通，及八解脫，皆悉具有，以記此人，望表生敬，故曰聖人之表式也。

"A person such as this who holds this staff internally possesses the sixteen practices (meaning the four truths: suffering, origin, cessation, and path; the four immeasurables: loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity; the four dhyānas: the first dhyāna, second dhyāna, third dhyāna, and fourth dhyāna; and the four formless concentrations: the sphere of boundless space, the sphere of boundless consciousness, the sphere of nothingness, and the sphere of neither-perception-nor-non-perception), and further possesses the thirty-seven practices (meaning the thirty-seven factors of awakening). In these dharmas, they clearly distinguish them and realize them for themselves without following mere words; in these dharmas, they roam at ease, entering the liberation doors of emptiness, signlessness, and wishlessness freely and without difficulty, and are called holy ones. Internally having these virtues, externally holding the ringing staff, this serves as an emblem that this person certainly has holy virtues. Morality, concentration, patience, wisdom, the three knowledges, the six supernatural powers, and the eight liberations are all fully possessed, in order to mark this person so that seeing the emblem generates reverence; therefore it is called the emblem of the holy ones.
