成唯識論掌中樞要 1.7

1.7

However, the initial five divisions and ten topics are still generally subsumed under three heads: 1. clarifying the similarities and differences of the treatise; 2. the locus to which the teaching belongs; 3. recounting and explaining the title and text. Clarifying the similarities and differences is further briefly divided into three: 1. to demonstrate the distinctiveness of our own school in contrast to other tenets; 2. to demonstrate the essential nature of our own doctrine in contrast to other teachings; 3. to broadly explain the times and capacities [of listeners] in responding to their predispositions. The locus to which the teaching belongs is also subdivided into three: 1. which division among the twelve divisions of teachings subsumes it; 2. which basket among the two or three baskets and so forth subsumes it; 3. which vehicle among the one or two vehicles and so forth subsumes it. Explaining the title and text is also subdivided into three: 1. recounting the date and author of the treatise; 2. explaining the treatise's title; 3. interpreting the root text of the treatise. Again, explaining this treatise is analyzed and interpreted through three divisions: 1. recounting the origins of the treatise; 2. explaining the title of the treatise; 3. determining and explaining the root text.
