觀音玄義記 1.32

1.32

Third, under "Therefore one knows," he concludes by praising both meanings, in two parts: first, concluding praise. Discussing these ten in contemplation, the cause has vows and practice, and the fruit has power and capability. Discussing these ten in teaching, the Dharma has beginning and end, and the capacities addressed exhaust the sharp and dull. Therefore, among those who receive the teachings and cultivate contemplation, how could any not follow this path? "Appraising" is like comparing. Using these ten meanings to compare the teachings and contemplations of an entire lifetime, it gathers everything without remainder. Encompassing the ultimate of cultivated virtue, it says: "its intent is vast and far-reaching." Penetrating the origin of inherent virtue, it says: "its doctrinal flavor is profound." Furthermore, horizontally gathering the four teachings, it is called vast and far-reaching; vertically subsuming the five flavors, it is called profound. Person and Dharma through true and responsive bodies are the progression of one's own practice; medicine and jewel through original and trace transformations are the progression of transforming others; revealing and conditional causes with wisdom and elimination are the progression of cultivation and inherent nature. Three meanings are coarse, six meanings are fine, up to eight meanings being still coarse, and ten meanings being the finest. This distinguishes coarse and fine in terms of brief and extensive. If one explains coarse and fine by means of coarse and marvelous, the pure and mixed of the various flavors can be understood by their sense.
