維摩經
Vimalakirti Sutra
須菩提持鉢入維摩舍乞食。時維摩詰。取鉢盛飯謂言。汝能於食等者諸法亦等。諸法等者於食亦等。如是行乞。乃可取食。乃至彼外道六師是汝之師。彼師所墮。汝亦隨墮。乃可取食。入諸邪見。不到彼岸。住於八難。不得無難。同於煩惱。離清淨法。汝得無諍三昧。一切眾生亦得是定。其施汝者不名福田。供養汝者墮三惡道。為與眾魔共一手。作諸勞侶。汝與眾魔及諸塵勞。等無有異。於一切眾生而有怨心。謗諸佛。毀於法。不入眾數。終不得滅度。汝若如是。乃可取食。
Subhuti took his bowl and went to Vimalakirti's house to beg for food. Then Vimalakirti took the bowl, filled it with rice, and said: "If you can regard food as equal, then all dharmas are likewise equal. If all dharmas are equal, then food is likewise equal. Only when you practice begging in this way may you take this food. Moreover, the six heretical teachers are your teachers. Wherever those teachers fall, you too must fall along with them—only then may you take this food. Enter all wrong views, not reaching the other shore; dwell in the eight difficulties, not attaining freedom from difficulty; be one with the afflictions, apart from pure dharmas. You have attained the samādhi of non-contention—and all sentient beings likewise attain this samādhi. Those who give to you are not called a field of merit; those who make offerings to you fall into the three evil destinies. Join hands with all the maras and become their companion in toil. You are no different from all the maras and all the defilements. Harbor thoughts of enmity toward all sentient beings. Slander the buddhas, disparage the Dharma, and be excluded from the assembly of the ordained; in the end you will not attain nirvana. If you are like this, then you may take this food."
妙喜頌云。獨坐許誰知。青山對落暉。花須連夜發。莫待曉風吹。
Miaoxi's verse says:
Sitting alone—who is there to know? Green mountains face the setting sunlight. Flowers must bloom through the night; do not wait for the morning wind to blow.
