Second, praising the response mind, [which has] two [parts]: First, correctly explaining the meaning. Regarding "No mind or mentation" and so forth: Jingxi says: Mind and mentation are simply the two aggregates of consciousness and perception. Sensation is the sensation aggregate; the character xing (formation/activity) may be read in both the level and falling tones, both belonging to the aggregate of formations, differing only as active or passive. Regarding "Inversions are the three sensations": this refers to painful sensation, pleasant sensation, and neutral sensation. Regarding "Sensations are the three sufferings": painful sensation is the suffering of suffering; pleasant sensation is the suffering of change; neutral sensation is the suffering of formations. Regarding "Formations are the aggregate of formations": this explains the word xing in the sūtra. Regarding "Because there is no karma, there is no origination" and so forth: the combination of affliction and karma is called the truth of origination; because there is origination, it can bring about the fruition of suffering. Regarding "The five sensations and five activities in the Pañcaviṃśati": Jingxi says: where there is sensation there must be activity. Regarding "Without receiving the five views and activities": the third chapter, "Aspects of Practice," of the Pañcaviṃśati says: "When a bodhisattva-mahāsattva practices the perfection of wisdom, he does not accept activity, does not accept non-activity, does not accept both activity and non-activity, does not accept neither activity nor non-activity, and does not accept non-non-acceptance either. Śāriputra asked Subhūti: 'Why is it not accepted?' He replied: 'Because wisdom is empty, its intrinsic nature is non-acceptance.'" Regarding "The five gates": Jingxi says: they are simply the five sensations, taking "gate" as their designation. The gate is established from teaching; sensation is in the inner mind. Within inner sensations, because of sensation there is activity; hence there are five of each.
