大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 19.40

19.40

Regarding the Commentary's text from 'If in terms of the three contemplations' onward, the fourth is spoken in terms of the three contemplations. This refers to the contemplation of emptiness, the contemplation of the provisional, and the contemplation of the middle way; in the mind, emptiness, the provisional, and the middle are the one mind; facing the objects, they are the three truth-objects of the truth of non-existence, the truth of existence, and the truth of the supreme meaning of the middle way. The three contemplations naturally possess three cessations: the contemplation of emptiness has cessation by embodying the real; the contemplation of the provisional has cessation in concordance with conditions; the contemplation of the middle has cessation by departing from dualistic discrimination. The six dharmas of the three cessations and three contemplations simultaneously accord with one truth. With the objects of the three truths, object and cognition are of a single flavor, and thus there are nine dharmas, all becoming of a single flavor. There are further distinct approaches and so forth, all of which are as explained below.
