5.44

Third, regarding mental objects (dharmas) as sūtras: "Dharma" is the dust-object of dharmas. When mind unites with dharmas, one contemplates internally, practicing the dharmas; through dharmas one sees principle, so dharmas are themselves the sūtra. Therefore, a sūtra says: 'Those who cultivate my Dharma know by self-realization. If the mind lacks real practice, what is the use of asking?'
