空談理論無用,境界來時,當下覺照,不迷即菩提。若執妄當真,是上習氣的當,非由他動,是自心迷妄。覺此,面對「利、衰、毀、譽、稱、譏、苦、樂」八風,才知當體即空,才能心不妄動。
It is useless if you just talk about and think over theory. If you maintain awareness when encountering things and prevent your mind becoming deluded, you are in the state of bodhi. On the contrary, if you mistake the illusive encounters as real and attach to them, you have been deceived by your habitual mind; it is not caused by others, but your own bewildered mind. Being aware of this, when you face with the eight dharmas of “benefit, loss, slander, reputation, praise, ridicule, dissatisfaction, and satisfaction” you will know at the very moment that all dharmas are empty and be able to keep your mind from fluctuating.
