3.111

The tenth: the sūtra runs from "Subhūti, what do you think? Are the minute particles of dust in a trichiliocosm many?" down to "...is named a world-system." Form is the dependent recompense, namely the external four great elements; body is the direct recompense, namely the internal five aggregates. "Grasping together" has the meaning of combining. It is only a difference between the Qin and Wei translations. However, grasping together concerns phenomena, while correspondence also involves persons; when the two matters are considered together, there are three pairs in total: 1. The internal body's aggregate of form and the external receptacle world are merely composed of combined minute dust particles, which is named 'grasping together.' Seeing that there are body and receptacle as dependent and direct recompenses, grasping and clinging to them is precisely 'correspondence.' 2. The four aggregates such as sensation are merely composed of combined citta and caitta dharmas, which is named 'grasping together.' Seeing that there are sensations of suffering, pleasure, and so forth is precisely 'correspondence.' 3. Form and mind combine to form this body, which is named 'grasping together.' Seeing that there are mind and form is precisely the 'correspondence' of self and person. 'Activity' has the meaning of flowing change and mental creation. The meaning of contemplation and refutation is as explained below.
