"If attained" and what follows demonstrates that the three precepts are fundamentally integrated. While the previous passage matched them to the three collections, here it synthesizes only two names. It is also feared that there is a textual error; it should read: one's own precepts being luminous and pure is precisely restraining discipline; concentration and wisdom being luminous and pure is precisely embracing wholesome dharmas. "Luminous and pure" refers to resemblance and partial realization of the true, and its meaning also extends to contemplative practice. As for citing the Avataṃsaka Sūtra: all phenomena are mind-only, and the three of precepts, concentration, and wisdom are inherent in the mind itself. Since my mind is thus, sentient beings and buddhas are all likewise; other and self mutually interpenetrate, and so there is no differentiation. Because there is no differentiation, the Buddha preaches and shows to me what he has realized; when my mind is purified, I can also transform others. The meaning of the three collections is made manifest here; only then do we know that the essence of the three invocations is fundamentally integrated.
