肇論新疏 2.75

2.75

"Spiritual marvel and numinous brilliance" refers to prajñā. "Phenomenal marks" refers to the emotional views of ordinary people. What was objected to earlier—not relying on knowing and not boasting of encounters—is merely ordinary emotional consciousness humbly accommodating things, which is vastly distant from animitta-prajñā. Do not mistake not boasting for prajñā! Yanzi's open-mindedness and Meng Fan's not bragging have never been heard of as entering the principle.
