### 耳所未聞目所未見

> Unheard by ears, unseen by eyes

經云。尚無惡道之名。即耳不聞此名也。不過極言其決無惡道耳。若云。亦必談及惡道。當有聞者。則彼土目中。且實見鶴󳭋。寧止耳聞。據此應改文云。尚有惡道之實。何況有名耶。前以彼恠行文倒說。不知其意若此。

> The sutra says, "There is not even the name of an evil path." This simply means that one's ears do not hear such a name. It is merely an extreme expression to emphasize that there is absolutely no evil path. If it were said that evil paths must be mentioned, and beings would hear of them, then in that land, beings would actually see cranes and turtles with their own eyes—how could it be only a matter of hearing? Based on this, the text should be amended to read, "Would there still be the reality of evil paths, let alone their names?" Previously, critics objected to the inverted phrasing, not understanding the intended meaning.

居士奇卓之才。淹博之學。震旦國中等埒無幾。今在禪門。正儒釋二家。望以為赤幟。而隨之轉移者也。不宜反為拘名滯相者所惑。宜以大方之論。折其小見。圓通之旨。破其偏枯。使正法大明于世。以報佛恩。乃分內事。奈何塞毗耶不二之門。較東西于曲徑。撤燈王師子之座。爭尺寸于繩床。非所望于後身之金粟也。如不肖者。不希法師之位。不慕善知識之名。不貪求四眾歸仰。即謗滿天下。甚而覆瓿代薪。亦任之而已矣。

> You are a person of extraordinary talent and vast learning—there are few in this land of China who can match you. Now that you have entered the gate of Chan, both Confucians and Buddhists look to you as a standard-bearer, one who can guide the direction of the times. You should not allow yourself to be misled by those who cling to names and forms. Instead, use expansive reasoning to dismantle their narrow views, and the principle of perfect penetration to break their one-sidedness. To cause the true Dharma to shine brightly in this world as a way to repay the kindness of the Buddha—this is your inherent duty. Why, then, would you block the door of Vimalakīrti’s non-duality and compare east and west along winding paths? Why remove the lion throne of the Lamp King and quarrel over the size of a meditation seat? This is not what is expected of the future embodiment of the Golden Grain Immortal. As for someone like myself, who does not seek the position of a Dharma master, does not desire the title of a spiritual guide, and does not crave the reverence of the fourfold assembly—even if the whole world slanders me, even if my writings are used to cover sauce jars or fuel the fire, I will simply let it be.
