「『作此想時,不得雜觀,皆應一一觀之。一一珠、一一光、一一臺、一一幢皆令分明,如於鏡中自見面像。』」一一觀之,貫下五種。花、葉及幢皆有珠光,臺不明光,在文少略。鏡中見面,喻其無差。四、示益。
"‘When forming this visualization, one must not engage in mixed contemplation, but should contemplate each and every feature. Let each pearl, each ray of light, each calyx, and each banner be made distinct and clear, like seeing one's own facial features in a mirror.’" "Contemplate each and every feature" applies to the five items below. The flowers, petals, and banners all have pearl light; that the calyx does not explicitly mention light is an omission in the text. Seeing one's face in a mirror is an analogy for being without error. Fourth, indicating the benefits.
