仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 3.290

3.290

Explanation: Regarding 'skillfully contemplates that the five aggregates…' and so forth: as explained previously, it means that by contemplating the five aggregates, one obtains the aggregate of liberation; by contemplating the causes and effects of the three realms, one obtains the kṣāntis of emptiness and the like; and by contemplating the conventional and real of the two truths, one obtains the kṣānti of arising and non-arising. 'Devoid of the characteristics of self and other' means that one contemplates the aggregates and so forth as entirely non-abiding, because there is neither grasper nor grasped, neither self nor other, which is just absence of conceptual differentiation. 'Obtains the nature of reality as it is' means that self and phenomena are both empty, and principle and phenomena are equal—this is the nature of reality as it is. Next, the second [part] distinguishes the differences in rebirth. The text is further divided into three: first, it clarifies rebirth in the three realms.
