大方廣圓覺修多羅了義經 1.104

1.104

「善男子！彼善知識所證妙法應離四病。云何四病？一者作病，若復有人作如是言：『我於本心作種種行欲求圓覺。』彼圓覺性非作得故，說名為病。二者任病，若復有人作如是言：『我等今者不斷生死、不求涅槃，涅槃、生死無起滅念，任彼一切隨諸法性欲求圓覺。』彼圓覺性非任有故，說名為病。三者止病，若復有人作如是言：『我今自心永息諸念得一切性，寂然平等欲求圓覺。』彼圓覺性非止合故，說名為病。四者滅病，若復有人作如是言：『我今永斷一切煩惱，身心畢竟空無所有，何況根塵虛妄境界，一切永寂欲求圓覺。』彼圓覺性非寂相故，說名為病。離四病者則知清淨，作是觀者名為正觀，若他觀者名為邪觀。

"Kulaputra, the wondrous Dharma realized by that good friend should be free from four illnesses. What are the four illnesses? The first is the illness of contrivance. If someone speaks these words: 'I perform various practices in my original mind, wishing to seek perfect enlightenment'—because the nature of perfect enlightenment is not something obtained through contrivance, this is called an illness. The second is the illness of letting-be. If someone speaks these words: 'We now neither sever saṃsāra nor seek nirvāṇa; regarding nirvāṇa and saṃsāra, we have no thoughts of arising or ceasing; letting everything follow the nature of dharmas, we wish to seek perfect enlightenment'—because the nature of perfect enlightenment does not exist through letting-be, this is called an illness. The third is the illness of stopping. If someone speaks these words: 'My mind now permanently ceases all thoughts, attaining all natures in quietude and equality, wishing to seek perfect enlightenment'—because the nature of perfect enlightenment is not united through stopping, this is called an illness. The fourth is the illness of annihilation. If someone speaks these words: 'I now permanently sever all kleśas; body and mind are ultimately empty and non-existent, how much more so the false realms of faculties and dusts; everything being permanently quiescent, I wish to seek perfect enlightenment'—because the nature of perfect enlightenment is not the mark of quiescence, this is called an illness. One who is free from these four illnesses knows purity. One who makes this contemplation is said to have correct contemplation; if one makes any other contemplation, it is called false contemplation.
