Saying "only abiding in cittamatra, contemplating the three realms of existence," and also "causing them to realize mind-only and gradually enter the stages" means: this Dharma door of the one mind is the root of both ordinary beings and sages; deluded about it, one falls into worldly saṃsāra; awakened to it, one realizes supramundane bodhi. Therefore the ancient sages said: 'The mundane does not exceed the three categories; the supramundane does not surpass the two fruits.' The 'two fruits' are the two fruits of the transformation of the basis that accomplish the Tathāgata's body, as explained above. The 'three categories' are these five skandhas, twelve āyatanas, and eighteen dhātus—all dharmas of the deluded mind. Hence it says: if one wishes to obtain the Buddha's body, one should stay far away from them, and contemplate so as to realize mind-only. It encourages skillful study and practice toward the tenet of one's own mind.
