無為無欲 [wu wei wu yu]—Effortless and Desireless – [Term] The absence of fabricated thoughts (無造作之念 [wu zao zuo zhi nian]) and greedy desires (無貪欲之心 [wu tan yu zhi xin]). The Immeasurable Meanings Sutra (無量義經 [wu liang yi jing]) states: "Their mind is tranquil, always in samādhi (三昧 [san mei]), peaceful, calm, and detached, effortless and desireless."

無為無欲—【術語】無造作之念,無貪欲之心也。無量義經曰:「其心寂靜,常在三昧,恬安憺泊,無為無欲。」

[shù yǔ] wú zào zuò zhī niàn, wú tān yù zhī xīn yě. wú liàng yì jīng yuē: “qí xīn jì jìng, cháng zài sān mèi, tián ān dàn pō, wú wèi wú yù.”

[shu yu] wu zao zuo zhi nian, wu tan yu zhi xin ye. wu liang yi jing yue: "qi xin ji jing, chang zai san mei, tian an dan po, wu wei wu yu."
