《大佛顶首楞严经》(万佛城版) 中英文对照 (26)

”You do not know that the physical body, as well as the mountains, the rivers, empty space, and the great earth are all within the wonderful bright true mind. ”It is like ignoring hundreds of thousands of clear pure seas and taking notice of only a single bubble, seeing it as the entire ocean, as the whole expanse of great and small seas. ”You people are doubly deluded among the deluded. Such inversion does not differ from that caused by my lowered hand. The Thus Come One says you are most pitiable.”
不知色身，外洎山河虚空大地，咸是妙明真心中物。譬如澄清百千大海，弃之，唯认一浮沤体，目为全潮，穷尽瀛渤。汝等即是迷中倍人，如我垂手，等无差别。如来说为可怜悯者。

Having received the Buddha’s compassionate rescue and profound instruction, Ananda’s tears fell, and he folded his hands and said to the Buddha, “I have heard these wonderful sounds of the Buddha and have realized that the wonderful bright mind is fundamentally perfect; it is the eternally dwelling mind-ground. ”But now in awakening to the Dharma-sounds that the Buddha is speaking, it is my conditioned mind which I use to contemplate them reverently. Having just obtained the mind, I do not acknowledge that it is the fundamental mind-ground.”I pray that the Buddha will take pity on me and proclaim the perfect sound to pull out my doubts by the roots and enable me to return to the unsurpassed Way.”

阿难承佛悲救深诲，垂泣叉手而白佛言：我虽承佛如是妙音，悟妙明心，元所圆满，常住心地。而我悟佛，现说法音，现以缘心，允所瞻仰。徒获此心，未敢认为本元心地。愿佛哀悯，宣示圆音。拔我疑根，归无上道。

The Buddha told Ananda, “You still listen to the Dharma with the conditioned mind, and so the Dharma becomes conditioned as well, and you do not obtain the Dharma-nature. It is like when someone points his finger at the moon to show it to someone else.Guided by the finger, that person should see the moon. If he looks at the finger instead and mistakes it for the moon, he loses not only the moon but the finger also. Why? He mistakes the pointing finger for the bright moon. ”Not only does he lose the finger, but he also fails to recognize light and darkness. Why? He mistakes the substance of the finger for the bright nature of the moon, and so he does not understand the two natures of light and darkness.The same is true of you.
佛告阿难：汝等尚以缘心听法，此法亦缘，非得法性。如人以手指月示人，彼人因指，当应看月。若复观指，以为月体。此人岂唯亡失月轮，亦亡其指，何以故？以所标指为明月故，岂唯亡指，亦复不识明之与暗，何以故？即以指体，为月明性。明暗二性，无所了故。汝亦如是。
