7.159

Second, seven rounds clarifying that it cannot be attained through body or mind. Jingxi says: Regarding the next seven rounds being that it cannot be attained through body or mind, and so forth, the previous text already completed the refutation of attaining through body or mind; that it is stated again now is because the former was exclusively refutation, whereas now it clarifies mutual identity: attaining yet not attaining, not attaining yet attaining. All the sentences below are entirely like this. Regarding "no location," in the expedient teachings the mind is that which relies upon the body and land; therefore form is named 'location'; or body and mind may both be named 'location'. The wisdom of contemplation is precisely the phenomenon that relies. Outside of that which is relied upon, there is no other that which relies. Regarding "provisional designation" and so forth, contemplating the provisional is precisely principle, and principle encompasses all, unlike the Śrāvakayāna contemplating non-self and so forth.
