通論疑者，於諸諦理猶豫為性，能障信心、善品為業。別顯則五蓋中疑，有三：一疑自，謂己不能入理；二疑師，謂彼不能善教；三疑法，謂於所學為令出離、為不出離？如有病人疑自、疑醫、疑藥，病終不愈。今三疑中即疑法也。此疑復有已起、未起，今皆含之。剛藏為他請問，令永斷故。然斷疑方便者，若疑境界，令悟唯心；若疑法性，令觀無得。餘皆例知。

> To discuss doubt generally: having hesitation regarding the principles of the truths is its nature, and its function is to be able to obstruct the faithful mind and the wholesome factors. To explain it specifically, within the five hindrances doubt is threefold: first, doubting oneself, meaning \[thinking\] one is unable to enter into the principle; second, doubting the teacher, meaning \[thinking\] he is unable to teach well; third, doubting the Dharma, meaning wondering whether what is learned will bring about deliverance or will not bring about deliverance. It is like a sick person who doubts himself, doubts the doctor, and doubts the medicine—his sickness in the end will never be cured. Here, among the three doubts, it is doubting the Dharma. This doubt again has that which has already arisen and that which has not yet arisen; here both are included. Vajragarbha makes this inquiry on behalf of others so that it may be forever severed. However, as for the expedient means for severing doubt: if one doubts the cognitive objects, cause them to awaken to mind-only; if one doubts the nature of phenomena, cause them to contemplate non-attainment. The rest can be understood similarly.
