Second, specifically showing true quiet sitting, which has two parts: first, dividing into sections. Regarding "the three pairs" and so on: Jingxi says that these are all reproaches from the perfect [teaching], but the terms within the substance still seem to be confused with the Hinayāna. Why? Śāriputra also says, "I enter the concentration of cessation; this is not in the three realms yet manifests intention; later entering without remainder is not manifesting the body; why does [Vimalakīrti] reproach by saying 'manifesting body and intention'?" However, Jingming's intention is to reproach his present state. If one spoke of the future, ordinary beings also cease; why Śāriputra alone? The remaining two pairs and one single are all states not within his seeing and hearing. Next, in the function of concentration, it directly reproaches the concentration entered by Śāriputra as incapable of being like this. The remaining two pairs are precisely reproaching the absence of wisdom within his concentration. In the second pair, it further combines with the preceding function of concentration to reproach; the subsequent one single and one pair mostly belong to wisdom. Furthermore, regarding the pair of cause and effect, although its name is only established when reaching the third, nevertheless the preceding two pairs both reproach in terms of the effect. The reason "effect" is stated again below is that it is contrasted with the cause; although cause is established, all are for the sake of bringing the effect to completion; because when reproaching Śāriputra, he was not facing other people. It is merely reproaching the small effect by means of the partially realized effect of the Great Vehicle; therefore, excluding the cause, the remaining five dharmas all first directly cite the bodhisattva, and next repeatedly bring forward the dharmakāya bodhisattva, using a person of partial realization to reproach the small effect. When it comes to reproaching Maudgalyāyana, because he faced eight hundred [listeners], [Vimalakīrti] completely reproached him using the causal dharmas of the three teachings. The eight persons below will be matched when reaching their text.
