靜中念慮澄徹 見心之眞體 閑中氣象從容 識心之眞機 淡中意趣冲夷 得心之眞味 觀心證道 無如此三者 (前 87)
If consciousness is clear and pure in the midst of silence, you will see the true foundation of mind. When the atmosphere follows the stillness in the midst of leisure, you will know true frame of awareness. If the mindset is soft and gentle in the midst of calmness, the true taste of the heart will be obtained.There is nothing better than these three for observing mind and proving enlightenment. (Book1 87)
The reason people can't get out of their defilement is because they lack at least one of these three things, 1)sight, 2) awareness, and 3) enjoying. The awakened mind sees, knows, and enjoys together.
