般 若 第 二

   CHAPTER TWO Prajna



善知識,

Good and Wise Friends,

自性能含萬法是大,

our own essential nature is able

to contain the "ten thousand things"

— this is "great."

萬法在諸人性中。

The myriad dharmas,

absolutely everything,

are within the nature of all people.

若見一切人,

If you can regard all people,

惡之與善,

the bad as well as the good,

盡皆不取不捨,

without grasping or rejecting,

亦不染著,

free of any clinging,

心如虚空, 

your mind will be like empty space.

名之為大,故曰摩訶。

Thus, it can be called "great," Maha.


善知識,

Good and Wise Friends,

迷人口說,

confused people only mouth the words;

智者心行。

wise people actually practice

with their minds.

又有迷人,

Moreover, there are deluded people

who empty their minds

空心靜坐,

while sitting in quietude,

百無所思,

without thinking anything whatsoever,

自稱為大。

and declare this "great."

此一輩人,不可與語,

It is worthless to talk with

such people,

為邪見故。

because theirs is a wrong view.


善知識,

Good and Wise Friends,

心量廣大,

the capacity of the mind

is great and far reaching;

遍周法界,

it encompasses the Dharma Realm.

用即了了分明,應用便知一切。

When functioning, it is clear and distinct,

discerning and responsive. It knows all.


一切即一,

All is the one [the mind];

一即一切。

and the one [mind] is all.

去來自由,

Things naturally come and go,

心體無滯,

but the essence of the mind is unimpeded.

即是般若。

That is Prajna.


善知識,

Good and Wise Friends,

一切般若智,皆從自性而生,

prajna wisdom comes from

one's own essential nature:

不從外入。

it does not come from outside.

莫錯用意,

Do not make the mistake of

 using will and intellect.

名為真性自用,

It is called "The natural

workings of the true nature."

一真一切真。

When the self-nature is true,

everything else is true.


心量大事,

The mind has the capacity

for great things;

不行小道。

it is not meant to

behave in petty ways.

口莫終日說空,

Do not talk about emptiness

all day long,

心中不修此行,

but fail to cultivate it

in your minds.

恰似凡人自稱國王,

That would be like a commoner

proclaiming himself the king

of the country.

終不可得,

How absurd; this could never be!

非吾弟子。

Such people are not my disciples.
