佛氏治心之法，以治心爲事業，而吾家治心之法，以事業爲治心。誠意ㆍ正心，雖是學者之極工，每因事而誠之，因事而正之，未有向壁觀心，自檢其虛靈之體，使湛然空明，一塵不染，曰此誠意ㆍ正心者。欲孝於其父者，察一溫必誠，察一凊必誠，具一甘旨必誠，濯一衣裳必誠，酒肉以養賓必誠，幾諫使無過必誠，斯之謂誠意也。欲弟於其長者，趨一召必誠，對一問必誠，服一勞役必誠，奉一几杖必誠，有酒食饌之必誠，受學業修之必誠，斯之謂誠意也。以之事君，以之交友，以之牧民，其所以誠其意者，皆在行事。徒意不可以言誠，徒心不可以言正，故經曰：“小人閒居爲不善，無所不至。” 其所云‘爲不善’者，行惡也。閒居行惡，見人著善，則不誠意者也。閒居行善，見人行善，則誠意者也。誠意之工，顧不在於行事乎？今人以治心爲誠意，直欲把虛靈不昧之體，捉住在腔子內，以反觀其眞實无妄之理。此須終身靜坐，黙然內觀，方有佳境，非坐禪而何？今人以治心爲正心，制伏猿馬，察其出入，以驗其操捨存亡之理。此箇工夫，固亦吾人之要務，曉夕無事之時，著意提掇焉，可也。但古人所謂正心，在於應事接物，不在乎主靜凝黙。(Dasan‘s Critique of meditation, from 『大學公議』)
