心要法門頌
欲達心源淨 須知我相空
形容何處實 念慮本無從
豁爾靈明現 翛然世界通
真金開伏藏 赫日出瞑矇
試將心比佛 與佛始終同
(The principle that deludes us)(All things are inherently empty) To reach the purity of the mind's source, one must understand the emptiness of self. (Dependent arising is fundamentally nonexistent)(Its origin is not real) Where can form and appearance be found real? Thoughts and considerations have no true basis. (Like the sun first rising)(Immediately without obstruction) Suddenly, the luminous awareness appears; effortlessly, the world becomes clear. (When emotions fade, truth appears)(When wisdom arises, delusion fades) True gold reveals its hidden treasure; the bright sun emerges from darkness. (Because nature is not different)(Truth and illusion are not separate) Try comparing your mind to the Buddha—from beginning to end, they are the same.
