竹清嘉措心要語 14
以妄念為所緣
在大手印中,以妄念為所緣的方法就是:行者運用任何生起的妄念(無論是普通的想法、和令人不悅的狀態有關的想法、在貼標籤的想法,或是與習性有關的想法),赤裸直觀其本質,然後全然放鬆地安住在其中。
如此做時,妄念本身就成為了「止」的所緣境。這就是修持妄念的方法。
西元1991年夏季,堪布竹清嘉措仁波切於「洛磯山佛法中心」解說《了義海》時宣說。

Thoughts as Focal Support
As for the way of doing it in the mahāmudrā, one takes any thought that occurs-whether it be a general thought, thinking associated with unpleasant states, a thought taking the form of labeling, or thinking associated with habitual patterns-and looks nakedly into its essence and rests perfectly at ease within that.
When dealt with in this way, the thoughts themselves become the focal support for the shamatha. So that's how to work with this.
