若欲顯智,要須觀成。汎論觀、智俱通因果;別則觀因智果。例如佛性,通於因果;別則因名佛性,果名涅槃。今就別義,以觀為因,成於智果。如《瓔珞》云:「從假入空名二諦觀;從空入假名平等觀;二觀為方便道,得入中道第一義諦觀。」今用從假入空觀為因,得成於果,名一切智;用從空入假觀為因,得成道種智果;用中觀為因,得成一切種智果也。
If one wishes to reveal wisdom, it requires that contemplation be perfected. Speaking generally of contemplation and wisdom, both apply to cause and effect; specifically, contemplation is the cause and wisdom is the effect. For example, buddha-nature applies to cause and effect; specifically, the cause is named buddha-nature, and the effect is named nirvāṇa. Now, following the specific meaning, taking contemplation as the cause perfects the effect of wisdom. As the Yingluo jing says: 'Entering emptiness from the provisional is called the contemplation of the two truths; entering the provisional from emptiness is called the contemplation of equality; these two contemplations serve as the path of expedients to enter the contemplation of the middle way's paramārtha-satya.' Now, using the contemplation of entering emptiness from the provisional as the cause, one achieves the effect, named the wisdom of all [phenomena]; using the contemplation of entering the provisional from emptiness as the cause, one achieves the effect of the wisdom of the paths; using the contemplation of the middle as the cause, one achieves the effect of the wisdom of all modes.
