三、明生了因者,謂塵體空寂,緣起法界之義,由智方顯,是了因。見塵體已,修於解行,生起力用,是生因。然生即無生,還同法體;了亦非了,豈等緣生。生之與了無有差別,生則約行,了則據體。無體即體,了則無生,體即無體,生還為了,契同一際,無所分別。
Third, clarifying producing and revealing causes: the dust mote's essence being empty and still, the meaning of the conditioned origination of the dharmadhātu is revealed only through wisdom, which is the revealing cause (vyañjaka-hetu). Having seen the dust mote's essence, cultivating understanding and practice to give rise to power and function is the producing cause (janaka-hetu). However, production is precisely non-production, returning to identity with the essence of phenomena; revealing is also non-revealing, for how could it equal conditioned arising? Between production and revealing there is no difference: production is spoken of in terms of practice, while revealing is based on essence. The non-essence is precisely essence, so revealing is unarisen; essence is precisely non-essence, so production returns to revealing; they accord in a single realm, without discrimination.
