3.23

四、明不思議多少。問:不思議凡有幾門?答:數甚多,非可具舉。今略陳五種,示其樞要。一聞不聞不思議、二大小不思議、三通別不思議、四本跡不思議、五內外不思議。此五門略攝眾數,義無不收。

Fourth, explaining the number of inconceivabilities. Question: In general, how many approaches to the inconceivable are there? Answer: The number is exceedingly great and cannot be fully enumerated. We now briefly present five types to show their essentials: first, the inconceivability of hearing and not hearing; second, the inconceivability of the great and the small; third, the inconceivability of the general and the specific; fourth, the inconceivability of the root and the trace; fifth, the inconceivability of the internal and the external. These five approaches summarily subsume the many numbers; no meaning is left ungathered.
