### 觀經疏題

唯心淨土豈離乎苦域泥沙本性彌陀無越乎棘林胎獄若使心無取舍則淨穢之相泯然其如行有順違故麤玅之名斯立是以闍王示逆而圓機發起欲彰性惡之本融韋提哀請而大聖宣揚葢顯修心之要術觀雖不二爰開十六以為進德之階理既無殊當以三千而作司南之運舉一觀而徧收諸觀統羣機而咸會一機義趣幽深文詞奧密非智者親承之玅孰闡其宗捨四明頴悟之懷寧知其道修心玅觀到無修處正好著鞭落日故鄉向冷落中何妨進步苟或膠文滯相懸知其於斯道冥然要須了境唯心則在我者能事畢矣將釋茲疏略舉大猷至下臨文更當委說。

> The Pure Land of Mind-Only — how could it be apart from the muddy world of Suffering? The Buddha-nature inherent in our minds — does it transcend the thorny forest of the womb-prison? If the mind could abandon all grasping and rejecting, then the distinctions between pure and impure would vanish entirely. Yet because our actions follow or oppose the Path, the names "coarse" and "subtle" come to be established. Thus, Prince Ajātaśatru's rebellion was but a display of逆 (defiance) — an expedient to reveal the fundamental nature of evil and awaken the mature potential of the assembly. Queen Vaidehī's tearful supplication moved the Great Sage to expound the essential method of mind-cultivation. Though contemplation is ultimately non-dual, sixteen distinct practices were opened as steps for advancing in virtue. The principle itself is without difference, yet the three thousand realms serve as the compass guiding our progress. One contemplation, when perfected, encompasses all contemplations; all beings, when gathered, converge in a single potential. The meaning is profound, the words intricate and dense — without the wisdom of a master who has personally received the teaching, who could unfold its depths? Without the enlightened insight of Siming, who could understand this Path? In the subtle contemplation of mind-cultivation, at the point where there is nothing further to cultivate, one must urge the whip onward. Toward the homeland of the setting sun, in this desolate place, why not take another step forward? If one clings to words and fixates on forms, one will remain utterly lost in this teaching. One must understand that all dharmas are nothing but mind — then one's own task is complete. In explaining this commentary, I shall first outline its general approach; the detailed exposition will follow as we proceed through the text.
