根本反省 林钰堂
起心动念莫随流，反观根本究何执；
无常无我应无执，定见逝尽本自如。
跋
无我、无执、无常是佛法根本教示。修行者于起心动念之际，若能依之反省而觉察自心微细之我执、意执，以及对无常之欠缺体认，则往往可以省去冗长的幻妄迷思。
施身法在基本上是针对吾人固执之“以身为我”的定见加以摧毁。推衍其理，则不妨观想以钺刀摧灭一切固定的观念。一旦所有观念不再驻持吾人心地，则自然回复本来清净之安宁。

Root Reflection Yutang Lin
As intention and ideas arise, do not follow their flow.
Reflect on their roots to find out where grasping lies.
Impermanence and Non-self mean no grasping good.
Fixed ideas all gone, then originally all are at peace.
Comment:
Non-self, no grasping, and impermanence constitute fundamental teachings of the Dharma. For a practitioner, at the juncture of arising of intention or ideas, if reflection could be done in accordance with these fundamental principles, and thereby one becomes aware of subtle grasping to Self or intentions and of lack of appreciation of impermanence, then it would often be the case that extensive and useless delusive thoughts could be avoided.
The tantric Buddhist practice of Chod is basically working on destroying the fixed view, that we are grasping on firmly, that recognizes the corporeal body as one's Self. Generalizing from this practice, we could practice visualization of destroying all fixed ideas and views with a curved knife. As soon as all ideas and views no longer abide in and hold sway over our minds, we will naturally resume peace and tranquility of mind in original purity.
