68.78

Sengliang comments: Intending to clarify cause and effect, he grasps at differences to raise an objection. If the phenomenon were the same yet the explanation differed, it would be contaminated. From "having already abandoned the three kinds" onward, if explained according to the principle, then there is no dispute. But if the explanation differs from the perception, how could there not be dispute? From "the form of ordinary persons" onward, this clarifies that the matters of cause and effect are not identical; because the description does not apply to it, there is neither contamination nor dispute.
