学问偈
Verses [On] Learning [And] Questioning
无学无问,何得学问?
求学须问,乃名学问。
Without learning [and] without questioning, how [can this] attain knowledge? [As] seeking knowledge needs questioning, thus [is it] named [as] ‘learning [and] questioning’ [i.e. knowledge].
为求学问,要学要问。
有学无问,非全学问。
For seeking knowledge, [there] must [be] learning [and] questioning. Having learning without questioning, [this is] not complete knowledge.
无心向学,随心乱问,
无学有问,何成学问?
Without [the] intention [to advance] towards learning, following [that] wished, [with] chaotic questioning, without learning having ‘questioning’, how [can this] accomplish knowledge?
欲得三慧,学生闻慧,
问生思慧,才生修慧。
Desiring [to] attain [the] Three Wisdoms, [with] learning give rise [to] Wisdom [From] Listening, [and with] questioning give rise [to] Wisdom [From] Reflection, then giving rise [to] Wisdom [From] Cultivation.
