4.27

Regarding "not using these counteragents": this means not using the fifteen kinds of phenomenal counteragents explained above. Regarding "like an illusion, like a transformation": this refers to the ten similes in the text below. "Entering the limit of reality": this refers to analyzing the four great elements below, each entering the limit of true reality. This means that this sūtra merely uses the correct contemplation of ultimate prajñā, which can universally counteract the fifteen kinds of illnesses. The Mahāyāna[-upadeśa] states, "There is a samādhi that can counteract the three poisons," which is precisely the correct contemplation of the one emptiness and signlessness explained in this sūtra, the ultimate-meaning siddhānta. That correct contemplation can counteract the three kinds of greed is stated in the Viśeṣacinti-brahma-paripṛcchā Sūtra: "A person of greed and desire attains liberation through pure contemplation, not through impurity." That correct contemplation can counteract the three kinds of anger: the Prajñā[-pāramitā Sūtra] states, "Formerly, when my body was dismembered by King Kali, at that time there was no mark of self or the like, so resentment and anger did not arise." Therefore we know that the true mark can counteract anger. That correct contemplation can counteract the three kinds of delusion: wisdom destroys ignorance, its meaning is obvious. The Nirvāṇa [Sūtra] states, "When there is light, there is no darkness; when there is wisdom, there are no afflictions." That correct contemplation can counteract the three kinds of vitarka and vicāra: in the mind of correct contemplation, the path of words is cut off, and the place of mental activity ceases. The Vimalakīrtinirdeśa states, "What is meant by ceasing clinging to conditions? It means the mind apprehends nothing." That correct contemplation counteracts the three kinds of karma obstacles is stated in the Contemplation of Samantabhadra: "Sitting upright and contemplating the true mark, this is called the supreme repentance." Thus we know that when the medicine of correct contemplation is administered, it can universally cure all illnesses; therefore it says, "universally curing them by entering the limit of reality."
