第三通達位者，亦分二種：一釋總名。言通達者，證會之義也。此位菩薩無漏之智了證真如，故名通達。即《唯識》云：「加行無間，此智生時，體會真如，名通達位。」此通達位即是見道。《唯識》等云：通達位者，謂諸菩薩所住見道。見道名者，即無漏智照理名見。故《唯識》云：「初照理故，亦名見道。」道，遊履義。行人遊履，趣於極果。或通運義，通運行人至於極果，故名為道。次釋別名。一、真見道，體離虛妄，親能證理。實能斷障，故名為真。又釋：真者是理，見者是智。證真之智，名真見道。二、相見道，相者，類似之義。真見道後而起於此，行解安摸倣像真見所有功能，不能證理及斷於障，類似於真，故名相見。

Third, the stage of penetration is also divided into two: First, explaining the general name. 'Penetration' means direct realization and convergence. At this stage, the bodhisattva's uncontaminated wisdom directly realizes and verifies tathatā; hence it is called penetration. That is as the Cheng weishi lun says: 'Immediately following preparatory application, when this wisdom arises, directly realizing tathatā, it is named the stage of penetration.' This stage of penetration is none other than the path of seeing. The Cheng weishi lun and other texts state: 'The stage of penetration refers to the path of seeing upon which the bodhisattvas dwell.' As for the name 'path of seeing', uncontaminated wisdom illuminating the principle is called seeing. Thus the Cheng weishi lun says: 'Because it initially illuminates the principle, it is also called the path of seeing.' 'Path' (mārga) has the sense of traversing. Practitioners traverse it, proceeding toward the ultimate fruit. Or it has the sense of conveying: it conveys practitioners to the ultimate fruit; hence it is called the path. Next, explaining the specific names: First, the actual path of seeing. In its essence it is free from falsity and directly realizes the principle. Truly able to sever the obstacles, it is therefore called 'actual'. Alternatively explained: 'actual' is the principle and 'seeing' is the wisdom. The wisdom that realizes what is actual is called the actual path of seeing. Second, the mimetic path of seeing. 'Mimetic' (ākāra/lakṣaṇa) has the sense of resemblance. Arising after the actual path of seeing, its practice and understanding imitate and resemble all the functions of the actual seeing; though it cannot [directly] realize the principle or sever the obstacles, it resembles the actual; hence it is called mimetic seeing.
