2.218

The "Chapter on the Six Similes" of the Large Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra says: "World-Honoured One, how is it that within phenomena that are not different, you discriminately explain different marks?" In "And it also says" onward, the "Chapter on Illumination and Universal Learning" of the Large Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra says: "All phenomena are animitta, neither of one mark nor of different marks, and in combining there is nothing to be combined." The first section does not separate mind and objects: unity is identical to difference. The latter section sets mind and objects in opposition: neither one nor different. Both bear witness to the preceding text. As for "how true this is" [lit. faithfully accepted]: because the sacred teaching is a valid cognition, and being a valid cognition, one also sees phenomena without doubt.
