### 毘舍浮佛偈跋

> Verse of Vessabhu Buddha

紫柏大師云：「生平持毘舍浮佛半偈，句半熟，半句未熟，更熟此半句，生死脫然矣。」毘舍浮，此云遍一切自在，結莊嚴劫之終，開賢劫之始，故此半偈，最為良藥。眾生病雖不一，其源不過妄認四大為自身相，妄認六塵緣影為自心相而已。今以四大觀身，知身非身；以緣影觀心，知心非心。既達妄計之身心即非身心，焉往而不自在？然則毘舍浮佛，不在莊嚴劫，在吾一念無身心之智而已。果達身心本空，奚止舍浮不離當念，盡十方世界過、現、未來諸佛，皆不離當念也。

> Master Zibai said: "Throughout my life, I upheld half a verse of the Buddha Visvabhu. Half a line I mastered, and half a line remained unmastered. Once I have fully mastered that remaining half-line, I will be completely free from birth and death." "Visvabhu" means "one who is free and at ease everywhere." He marks the end of the Adornment Eon and the beginning of the Virtuous Eon. Thus, this half-verse is the most excellent medicine. Although sentient beings' illnesses are various, their root is nothing more than falsely regarding the four elements as the body, and falsely regarding the reflections of the six sense objects as the mind. Now, by contemplating the body through the four elements, we realize that the body is not the self. By contemplating the mind through the reflections of sense objects, we realize that the mind is not the self. Once we understand that the falsely imagined body and mind are not truly the body and mind, where can we not be free? Thus, the Buddha Visvabhu is not merely in the Adornment Eon; he is present within our single thought of wisdom that sees neither body nor mind. If we truly realize that body and mind are originally empty, then not only is Visvabhu never apart from this very thought—all Buddhas of the ten directions, past, present, and future, are also never apart from this very thought.
