Avatamsaka Sutra 2011-04-16

"He further makes the following reflections: All living beings constantly pursue the three poisons, and the various afflictions flare up because of this. They do not understand how to seek with determination the expedients essential method for escape. I should teach them to extinguish the great blaze of afflictions and settle in the pure tranquility of Nirvana. He further makes the following reflection: All living beings are covered with the heavy darkness of stupidity and the thick coating of false views, and so they enter the dense shade of the forest and lose the light of wisdom. They travel on dangerous roads in the wilderness and give rise to evil views. I should teach them to realize the unobstructed, pure wisdom eye, so they know the ultimate reality of all dharmas, and do never follow others’ teachings." 經文: "又作是念：『一切眾生常隨三毒，種種煩惱因之熾然，不解志求出要方便。我當令彼除滅一切煩惱大火，安置清涼涅槃之處。』又作是念：『一切眾生為愚癡重闇，妄見厚膜之所覆故，入陰翳稠林，失智慧光明，行曠野險道，起諸惡見。我當令彼得無障礙清淨智眼，知一切法如實相，不隨他教。』"
