問：如上所言，證分之法及緣起分法，有何差別？答。別不別。其義云何？證分之法約實相說唯證所故。緣起分法為從眾緣生，無有自性，與本不異，是故不別。

Question: As stated above, what difference is there between the dharmas of the domain of realization and the dharmas of the domain of conditioned arising? Answer: They are different and not different. What does this mean? The dharmas of the domain of realization are spoken of in terms of the true characteristic and are only that which is realized. The dharmas of the domain of conditioned arising, being arisen from multiple conditions, have no svabhāva and are not different from the fundamental; therefore they are not different.
