「作是」下，二、明簡非，為三：一約愛見大悲、二約禪定、三約二智。此三非者，正就法身二莊嚴簡。初文者，若觀中道生愛見者則不能雙照二諦，若照二諦亦不照中。今觀中道不生愛見，若照中道即能雙照不失中道，即是一心三觀，即真中觀之正體也。此之愛見正約中道，若約二諦屬前二觀。若就三諦明權實者，此是自行權實。何者？自行照實諦為實，照二諦為權。若約正道生愛見悲，即法身有疾，此為四：一正明起愛見、二釋是非、三引佛語證、四結勸捨。初言「若起愛見大悲即應捨離」，若於中道法身起愛，即順道愛生，名為頂墮。菩薩雖不墮二地，障入菩薩位。若用悲心欲拔二邊生死苦者，名愛見悲。是則非唯自體成疾，亦定慧大悲雙照不明，損方便力，障於大用。如身有疾，手足萎陀，不能營辦。正覺之體有愛見患，定慧大悲皆有障也。又如手足有疾亦能累身，若定慧有障，能障觀體。此正觀體若有愛見緣眾生者，即愛見悲，非但自體有障，亦障福慧莊嚴二諦雙遊普利眾生。

> From "Making this \[contemplation\]" downward, second, explains differentiating the incorrect, which is threefold: 1. regarding great compassion of craving and views; 2. regarding dhyāna meditation; 3. regarding the two wisdoms. These three incorrect \[states\] are differentiated precisely with respect to the two adornments of the dharmakāya. As for the first text: if one produces craving and views while contemplating the Middle Way, one cannot doubly illuminate the two truths; if one illuminates the two truths, one also does not illuminate the Middle. Now, contemplating the Middle Way, one does not produce craving and views; if one illuminates the Middle Way, one can doubly illuminate without losing the Middle Way: this is the threefold contemplation in a single mind, which is the correct substance of the true Middle Contemplation. These craving and views are spoken of strictly with respect to the Middle Way; with respect to the two truths, they belong to the preceding two contemplations. If one explains the provisional and the real with respect to the three truths, this is the provisional and real of one's own practice. How so? For one's own practice, illuminating the real truth is real, and illuminating the two truths is provisional. If with respect to the correct path one produces the compassion of craving and views, then the dharmakāya has an illness. This has four \[parts\]: 1. directly explaining the arising of craving and views; 2. explaining what is right and wrong; 3. citing the Buddha's words as proof; 4. concluding with an exhortation to abandon them. First it says, "If one produces the great compassion of craving and views, one should immediately abandon it." If one produces craving toward the dharmakāya of the Middle Way, this is the arising of craving in conformity with the path, which is called the peak-fall. Although the bodhisattva does not fall into the two stages, it obstructs entry into the bodhisattva stages. If one uses a compassionate mind wishing to pull out the suffering of birth and death on the two extremes, this is called the compassion of craving and views. This is not only becoming ill in one's own substance, but also concentration, wisdom, and great compassion's double illumination become unclear, damaging the power of expedients and obstructing the great functioning. Just as when the body has an illness and the hands and feet are withered and paralyzed, one cannot accomplish work. When the substance of correct awakening has the affliction of craving and views, concentration, wisdom, and great compassion are all obstructed. Furthermore, just as when the hands and feet have an illness, they also trouble the body, if concentration and wisdom have obstructions, they can obstruct the substance of contemplation. If this substance of correct contemplation possesses craving and views when taking sentient beings as conditions, it is the compassion of craving and views: not only is one's own substance obstructed, but it also obstructs the adornments of merit and wisdom, doubly wandering in the two truths, and universally benefiting sentient beings.
