六祖壇經法語​
​( The Sixth Patriarch's Dharma )

後代得吾法者。將此頓教法門。於同見同行。發願受持如事佛故。終身而不退者。定入聖位。然須傳授從上以來默傳分付。不得匿其正法。若不同見同行。在別法中。不得傳付。損彼前人。究竟無益。恐愚人不解。謗此法門。百劫千生斷佛種性。

Those of future generations who obtain my Dharma should take up this Sudden Teaching Dharma door and with those of like views and like practice they should vow to receive and uphold it as if serving the Buddhas. To the end of their lives they should not retreat, and they will certainly enter the holy position. In this way it should be transmitted from generation to generation. It is silently transmitted. Do not hide away the orthodox Dharma and do not transmit it to those of different views and different practice who believe in other teachings, since it will harm them and ultimately be of no benefit.
