2.64

今觀心亦如是,一一心中皆具王數,為成觀故,王數相扶而取開悟,或於想數入道,或於欲數入道,隨所宜者,心王、心數而共攻之,化取塵勞諸心而作佛事。作此觀未悟,觀行如乳;若發無漏,觀行如酪;若破塵沙,如生熟蘇;若破無明,觀如醍醐。至醍醐時王數皆畢,心心法數不行故,名行般若波羅蜜。《普賢觀》云:「觀心無心,法不住法,我心自空,罪福無主。」即是無心、無數名為正觀。是心數塵勞若不盡者,觀則不訖,故經言:「眾生不度,我不成正覺。」即此意也(云云)。

Now, the contemplation of mind is also like this: every single mind possesses the king and factors. In order to accomplish contemplation, the king and factors support each other to attain awakening. One may enter the path through the factor of perception, or one may enter the path through the factor of desire; according to what is appropriate, the mind king and mental factors jointly attack it, transforming and capturing the minds of defilement to perform the Buddha's work. Cultivating this contemplation without having awakened, contemplative practice is like milk; if one gives rise to the undefiled, contemplative practice is like curd; if one shatters the sands of defilement, it is like raw and cooked ghee; if one shatters fundamental ignorance, contemplation is like clarified butter. When reaching clarified butter, the king and factors are both consummated; because the mind and mental factors no longer function, this is called practicing the perfection of wisdom. The Samantabhadra Contemplation states: 'Contemplating the mind, there is no mind; dharmas do not abide in dharmas. My own mind is naturally empty; sin and blessing have no master.' This non-mind and non-factors is precisely what is called correct contemplation. If these mental factors and defilements are not exhausted, the contemplation is not completed; therefore the sūtra says: 'If sentient beings are not saved, I shall not achieve supreme awakening.' This is precisely its meaning (and so forth).
