法華文句記 1.178

1.178

約觀中界入一一各十界者，正當妙境，諸文但寄能觀觀耳。山城雖約陰為所觀，亦未結成不思議境。又將數入理數即成境，境觀相對俱名法門。又境據假邊且存其數，空中尚無其數安有？然必約假以立空中，觀亦如是。

Regarding the contemplation wherein the realms and entrances each possess ten realms: this precisely corresponds to the wondrous object; the various texts merely refer to the contemplation that can contemplate. Although the Shan-cheng [commentary] took the aggregates as the object of contemplation, it did not conclude by establishing the inconceivable object. Furthermore, when taking number and entering principle, the number itself becomes the object; object and contemplation in mutual correspondence are both called dharma-gates. Moreover, the object rests upon the side of the provisional, provisionally retaining its number; in emptiness, how could there even be a number? Yet one must rely on the provisional to establish emptiness and the Middle; contemplation is likewise.
