佛告須菩提 於意云何 如來昔在燃燈佛所 於法有所得不 不也 世尊 如來在燃燈佛所 於法實無所得 須菩提 於意云何 菩薩莊嚴佛土不 不也 世尊 何以故 莊嚴佛土者 則非莊嚴 是名莊嚴 是故須菩提 諸菩薩摩訶薩應如是生清淨心 不應住色生心 不應住聲香味觸法生心 應無所住而生其心 須菩提 譬如有人身如須彌山王 於意云何 是身為大不 須菩提言 甚大 世尊 何以故 佛說非身 是名大身

Key Message
Give rise to the mind without dwelling anywhere (應無所住而生其心). To use the mind freely without clinging to any object is the essence of genuine practice.
▸Section 10 elicits from Subhuti the answer that the Tathāgata, while training under Dīpaṃkara Buddha in a past life, attained 'in truth no dharma whatsoever.
Section 10 elicits from Subhuti the answer that the Tathāgata, while training under Dīpaṃkara Buddha in a past life, attained 'in truth no dharma whatsoever.' When the Buddha then asks whether a bodhisattva adorns the Buddha-land, the reply is: 'Adorning the Buddha-land is not in reality adorning; it is called adorning.' The key passage is the diamond utterance: 'One should give rise to the mind without dwelling anywhere' (應無所住而生其心) — do not let the mind dwell on form, do not let it dwell on sound, smell, taste, touch, or dharmas; give rise to the mind while dwelling nowhere at all. This sentence became the occasion for the great awakening of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng of the Chan school.
