Regarding the Commentary's passage from "Although the three contemplations of the treatise comprehensively explain the sūtra" downward: This is the second [section], harmonizing the treatise with the sūtra. Within this are three: first, setting forth [the topic]; second, separately explaining the expansion and condensation of the three contemplations; third, distinguishing the two benefits. Now for the first: the statement "there is expansion and condensation with respect to the ten doors" means, for example, that the first contemplation summarizes and condenses the ten doors into three, which is condensation in the treatise where the sūtra expands. Yet dividing the first half subsumed under the second [door of] one mind as the ultimate truth is expansion in the treatise where the sūtra condenses. Its third contemplation expands the first half of the first door into the contemplation of distinguishing defilement and purity, and the latter half belongs to the contemplation of reliance, which is expansion in the treatise where the sūtra condenses. Taking the eighth and ninth doors as the contemplation of beginninglessness is condensation in the treatise where the sūtra expands.
