207悲智雙運

The Dual Operation of Compassion and Wisdom

不壞假名性本空

資用無邊普莊嚴

一真法界非名言

能於名言契法界

   以大智為體,以大悲為相,以方便為用,這體相用三者具足。

   悲智和方便合起來,能行利眾之事,就叫做菩提心。所以要具足大悲,才能救渡眾生。具足大智慧,才能斷漏證真。以假修真,不落入輪迴,具足方便才能夠有種種法門來利樂眾生。

與眾共勉

The Dual Operation of Compassion and Wisdom

The nature of the immortal false name is innately empty.

It is boundlessly available and universally magnificent.

The one-truth dharma realm is not a saying, but

Can resonate with the dharma realm under the saying.

Great wisdom is the essence, great compassion is the form, and expedience is the use.  A cultivator has to be replete with the essence, the form, and the use.  If he can combine these three and do deeds to benefit sentient beings, he is said to have a Bodhi mind.  In order to rescue sentient beings, he has to be replete with great compassion.  To sever flaws and confirm truth, he has to be replete with great wisdom.  To benefit and delight sentient beings with various approaches, he has to cultivate truth with falseness, avoid falling into reincarnation, and be replete with expedience. 

Let us encourage each other.
