3. Broadly relying on conditioning dusts to directly reveal true seeing. In the previous text, by referring to the hand and observing the river, it showed that seeing is unborn; while its appearance was shallow, its intent was deep, yet it remained hidden and not fully explicit, and was not called directly revealing—hence the outline called it "gradually clarifying through coarse discussion." From here onward, it broadly confronts the conditioning dusts, demolishes names and characteristics, and reveals that this nature of seeing does not fall into conceptual proliferations (prapañca). Thereafter, passage by passage, it harmonizes and unifies them, enabling one to know that all dharmas are false and originally non-existent, being solely the wondrous, pure, bright substance of bodhi. Clearly and distinctly revealed, it is therefore called "directly revealing true seeing." The text has four parts: 1. Revealing that the conditioning mind is not the nature, in two parts: 1. Ānanda recounts his awakening and expresses his doubt, in two parts: 1. Recounting his awakening.
