量處輕重儀 2.51

2.51

First, we determine the three kinds of heavy property. The first is called intrinsically heavy (because their substance and appearance, being formed of metal, stone, earth, wood, etc., are heavy, not moving along with the Way). The second is called circumstantially heavy (because they are not essential to the Way and are entangled with worldly affairs). The third is called heavy by usage (their substance is light property, but attached to the heavy they are difficult to carry along).
