《貴生》

Library Resources
1 貴生:
出生入死。出生,謂情欲出五內,魂靜魄定,故生。入死,謂情欲入於胸臆,精勞神惑,故死。生之徒十有三,死之徒死十有三,言生死之類各有十三,謂九竅四關也。其生也目不妄視,耳不妄聽,鼻不妄嗅,口不妄言,味,手不妄持,足不妄行,精神不妄施。其死也反是也。人之生,動之死地十有三。人知求生,動作反之十三死也。夫何故,問何故動之死地也。以其求生之厚。所以動之死地者,以其求生活之事太厚,違道忤天,妄行失紀。蓋以聞善攝生者,攝,養也。路行不遇兕虎,自然遠離,害不干也。入軍不披甲兵,不好戰以殺人。兕無投其角,虎無所措爪,兵無所容其刃。養生之人,兕虎無由傷,兵刃無從加之也。夫何故,問兕虎兵甲何故不加害之。以其無死地。以其不犯十三之死地也。言神明營護之,此物不敢害。
