見清淨智等者。非唯無所見之自他，兼無能見之智用，斯則能所雙泯也。《圓覺經》云：「依幻說覺，亦名為幻，既皆是幻，豈得存焉？」然雖能所兩亡，不成斷滅，以靈源真心本無能所，妄生能所即是乖真，能所既除即合本體，靈然不昧物我皆如。故《華嚴》云：「能見及所見，見者悉除遣，不壞於真見，是名真見者。」又《圓覺》云：「諸幻盡滅，覺心不動。」

"Seeing pure wisdom..." etc.: not only are there no self and other that are seen, but the cognitive function of the wisdom capable of seeing is also absent; this is both subject and object being eradicated. The *Sūtra of Complete Enlightenment* states: "Relying on illusion, one speaks of enlightenment; this is also named illusion. Since both are illusion, how could they remain?" However, although subject and object are both eradicated, it does not become annihilation, because the numinous source and true mind originally lack subject and object. Falsely generating subject and object is precisely deviating from truth; once subject and object are eliminated, one accords with the fundamental essence, numinously illuminated and not benighted, with thing and self both as such. Therefore the *Avataṃsaka* states: "The seer and the seen—the seer entirely banishes them; yet without destroying true seeing, this is called the true seer." Furthermore, the *Complete Enlightenment* states: "All illusions completely extinguished, the enlightened mind is unmoving."
