With Illusions Cultivate With Regard To Illusions 以幻修于幻

知幻即离，
不作方便；
离幻即觉，
亦无渐次。

释迦牟尼佛
《圆觉经》普贤菩萨章

Knowing illusions, immediately departing from them, is without creating of skilful means. Departing from illusions, immediately awakening, is also without that gradual.

Śākyamuni Buddha
Sūtra On Perfect Awakening: Section On Universal Virtue Bodhisattva

普贤汝当知，一切诸众生，无始幻无明，皆从诸如来，
圆觉心建立。犹如虚空华，依空而有相。空华若复灭，
虚空本不动。幻从诸觉生，幻灭觉圆满，觉心不动故。
若彼诸菩萨，及末世众生，常应远离幻。诸幻悉皆离，
如木中生火，木尽火还灭。觉则无渐次，方便亦如是。

Universal Virtue, you should know, that all sentient beings’ beginningless illusory ignorance, is all from all Thus Come Ones’ Perfect Awakening’s Mind established. Similar to the empty sky’s flowers [i.e. eye floaters], relying on the sky then having forms. With the sky’s flowers, if returning to be eliminated, the empty sky is originally unmoving. As illusions from all of Awakening arise, with illusions eliminated, Awakening is perfect and complete, with Awakening’s Mind unmoving thus. If as those all Bodhisattvas, and the Dharma-Ending Age’s sentient beings, they constantly should far depart from illusions. With all illusions all departed from, is like wood within that gave rise to fire, with the wood exhausted, and the fire returned to be eliminated [i.e. extinguished]. Awakening is then without that gradual and skilful, also thus.
