1.8
Fourth, on refutation and establishment: The compassionate instruction has flowed far, and transmitted delusions have grown ever more numerous. Examining the doctrinal teachings, both outline and guidelines are lost; pursuing terms and marks, advantages and defects are mutually apparent. If one were to attack them exhaustively, it would become excessively cumbersome. If one were to let them go without bringing them up, people would be confused by diverging paths. As for those that obstruct the grand doctrine or where heterodox views are difficult to reform, I merely point them out briefly in accord with the text, so that the principle has a proper recourse; striving for supremacy over every single transaction is far from my current intention.
