9.32
Second, from "yet the four" downward, discerning and revealing according to the teachings has two [parts]: first, a general indication and brief marking—Jingxi says: regarding the four teachings all clarifying the principle of three kinds, the former two each take the principle of the truth of reality as true nature, and each use the two wisdoms as the remaining two; having grasped this meaning, the latter two are naturally clear. Relative and absolute then correspond to the mutual contrast of three and one. Regarding "the inconceivable meaning having two kinds," this is precisely the mutual contrast of three and one. If in the Profound Meaning it is contrasting according to principle, then the former two teachings treat arising and non-arising in terms of conceivable principle, and the latter two treat arising and non-arising in terms of inconceivable principle. Now, in the contrast between relative and absolute, the inconceivable still has the teaching path, so this absolute is still relative; now the separate teaching is excluded, and therefore one must discern them by means of the relative and absolute.
