大乘義章 4.43

4.43

第八門中約智分別。智門非一，今且約彼四十四智、七十七智辨因緣相。於中略以五門分別：一先定三觀、二明七方便、第三約彼七方便義辨明四十四智差別、第四約前三種觀義及七方便辨明七十七智不同、五隨人辨異。言三觀者，若依《毘曇》，說陰界入以為三觀，此觀在於念處位中。若依《成實》，說觀無常無我及苦，明之為三。四觀在於四現忍中（此一門竟）。

In the eighth section, it is distinguished with respect to knowledge (jñāna). The approaches to knowledge are not singular; here we briefly analyze the characteristics of dependent origination with respect to the forty-four knowledges and seventy-seven knowledges. In this, it is briefly distinguished through five gateways: first, establishing the three contemplations; second, clarifying the seven skillful means; third, clarifying the distinctions among the forty-four knowledges with respect to the meaning of those seven skillful means; fourth, clarifying the differences among the seventy-seven knowledges with respect to the meaning of the previous three kinds of contemplation and the seven skillful means; fifth, distinguishing differences according to persons. Regarding the three contemplations: if according to the *Abhidharma*, it explains the aggregates, elements, and sense-bases as the three contemplations; these contemplations are located at the stage of the applications of mindfulness (smṛtyupasthāna). If according to the *Tattvasiddhi*, it explains the contemplations of impermanence, non-self, and suffering, elucidating them as the three. The four contemplations are located within the four present forbearances (this concludes the first gateway).
