3.243

Explanation: Second, showing again the sameness and difference of the two wisdoms. Within this there are three parts: first, concluding the differing characteristics above; next, presenting an analogy to show they are neither one nor different; finally, 'because of the accomplishment of all practices' shows the accomplishment of practices. This is the first. The text has two distinct parts: first showing the characteristic of real wisdom, and then showing expedient wisdom. This is the first. In the first bhūmi, fundamental wisdom arises, initially awakening to the twofold emptiness of persons and phenomena; hence it is called 'initially awakening wisdom.' This very awakening wisdom, being non-dual with regard to the characteristics of existence and non-existence, is the illumination of real wisdom. Therefore the preceding text says: 'Because there is no characteristic of self or other, and no characteristic of non-existence.'
