[261] Then With The Five Aggregates, Departed From The Five Aggregates 即五蕴、离五蕴

即五蕴、离五蕴
[261] Then [With The] Five Aggregates, Departed [From The] Five Aggregates

观世音菩萨，以深般若照见五蕴皆空。

Contemplator [Of The] World’s Sounds Bodhisattva, with [the] profound Prajñā, contemplated [upon and] realised [the] five aggregates [to] all [be of] emptiness.

五蕴，即百法之略称耳。既见其空，则五蕴悉成深般若矣。

[The] five aggregates, then [is the] brief name of [the] hundred dharmas. Since realising their emptiness, then [will the] five aggregates all become [the] profound Prajñā.

（内之根身，外之器界，五蕴包含净尽。能见其是空，则即五蕴、离五蕴。法法头头，皆是大解脱法门，大涅槃境界矣。见《正编·复宁波某居士书》）

(Of internal roots [and the] body, [and] of [the] external material world, [the] five aggregates include [them] completely, [with] nothing remaining. [If] able [to] see [that] these are emptiness, then [with the] five aggregates, departed [from the] five aggregates. Every Dharma [door of] every kind, all are great liberation’s Dharma doors, [that lead towards] Great Nirvāṇa’s realm. See [the] First Compilation’s Reply Letter [To A] Certain Níngbō Layperson.)

如佛光一照，群暗皆消，更无少暗之或留者。学道之士，识此关要，则性相显密，悉是一如。

Like [the] Buddha’s light once illuminating, all darkness [is] all eliminated, even without that [of a] little darkness perhaps remaining. Of those learning [the] path, [they should] recognise this key essential. Then [will] nature [and] forms, [the] exoteric [and] esoteric, all be [of] one thusness.

否则随语生执，了无指归。入海算沙，徒劳辛苦。

Otherwise, following words [to] give rise [to] attachment, [they will be] completely without pointers [for] return. Entering [the] ocean [to] count sands, [this is] futile [and with] hardship.
