二、「問若」下,簡名前後。問意者,荊溪云:心通觀別。今云觀心乃別前通後,如何得例通別二序?答意者,準世名便,不可即云心觀故也。然亦且順此土之言,若從西方,心觀何爽。

Second, from "Question: if..." below, querying the sequence of the names. As for the intent of the question, Jingxi says: "Mind is common and contemplation is distinct. Now saying 'contemplating the mind' places the distinct before the common; how can this serve as an analogy for the two prefaces of common and distinct?" As for the intent of the answer: following worldly conventional convenience, one cannot immediately say 'mind-contemplation.' However, this also merely accords with the speech of this land; if following the Western regions, how could 'mind-contemplation' be wrong?
