5.Mistakes During the Circulation of the Light
吕祖曰：诸子工夫，渐渐纯熟，然枯木岩前错落多，正要细细开示。此中消息，身到方知，吾今则可以言矣。吾与禅宗不同，有一步一步验证，请先言其差别处，然后再言验证。
Master Lu-tsu said, Your work will gradually become concentrated and mature, but before you reach the condition in which you sit like a withered tree before a cliff, there are still many possibilities of error which I would like to bring to your special attention.These conditions are recognized only when they have been personally experienced.I shall enumerate them here.Mt school differs from the Buddhist yoga school(Chan-tsung) in that it has confirmatory signs for each step of the way.First I would like to speak of the mistakes and then of the confirmatory signs.
宗旨将行之际，预作方便，勿多用心，放教活泼泼地，令气和心适，然后入静。静时正要得机得窍，不可坐在无事中，所谓无记空也。万缘放下之中，惺惺自若也，又不可以意兴承担。凡太认真，即易有此。非言不宜认真，但真消息在若存若亡之间，以有意无意得之可也。惺惺不昧之中，放下自若也。
When one begins to carry out one's decision, care must be taken so that everything can proceed in a comfortable, relaxed manner.Too much must not be demanded of the heart.One must be careful that, quite automatically, heart and energy are coordinated.Only then can a state of quietness be attained.During this quiet state the right conditions and the right space must be provided.One must not sit down [to meditate] in the midst of frivolous.That is to say, the mind must be free of vain preoccupations.All entanglements must be put aside; one must be detached and independent.Nor must the thoughts be concentrated upon the right procedure.This danger arises if too much trouble is taken.I do not mean that no trouble is to be taken, but the correct way lies in keeping equal distance between being and not being.If one can attain purposelessness through purpose, then the thing has been grasped.Now one can let oneself go, detached and without confusion, in an independent way.
