2.97

次明修無作三昧,觀真如實相,不見緣修作佛,亦不見真修作佛,亦不見真、緣二修合故作佛,亦不離真、緣二修而作佛也。四句明修,即是四種作義;若無四修,即無四依,是無作三昧也。若爾,豈同相州北道明義緣修作佛;南土大小乘師,亦多用緣修作佛也。亦不同相州南道明義,用真修作佛。

Next, explaining the cultivation of the aimless samādhi: one contemplates the true mark of suchness, neither seeing cultivation through conditions as making one a buddha, nor seeing cultivation of the real as making one a buddha, nor seeing the union of both cultivations—of the real and through conditions—as making one a buddha, nor being apart from both cultivations—of the real and through conditions—as making one a buddha. The four propositions explaining cultivation are four kinds of meanings of 'making'; if there are no four cultivations, there are no four reliances, and this is the aimless samādhi. If so, how could it be identical to the doctrinal clarification of the Northern Branch of Xiangzhou that cultivation through conditions makes one a buddha—which masters of both Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna in the south also mostly adopt as cultivation through conditions making one a buddha? Nor is it identical to the doctrinal clarification of the Southern Branch of Xiangzhou that cultivation of the real makes one a buddha.
