九、開五眼者,謂塵無性之色,為肉眼也;塵是緣起之法,為法眼;塵性空故無所有,是慧眼;塵無相可得,息諸分別不二見,故名為天眼;塵性空寂,無相可得,依正無礙,念劫圓融,有無平等,名為佛眼。然不可以五眼見於塵,但於塵處隨顯立名也。

Ninth, opening the five eyes: this means that the dust mote's form without intrinsic nature is the physical eye; the dust mote being a phenomenon of pratītyasamutpāda is the Dharma eye; the dust mote's nature being empty and therefore non-existent is the wisdom eye; the dust mote having no marks to be grasped, putting to rest all conceptualizations and dual views, is called the divine eye; the dust mote's nature being empty and tranquil, with no marks to be grasped, dependent and primary being unobstructed, thoughts and kalpas interpenetrating, existence and non-existence being equal, is called the Buddha eye. However, one cannot see the dust mote with the five eyes; names are merely established according to what manifests at the site of the dust mote.
